I've been meaning to update this for a couple of weeks now because of good
reviews, but I just never got around to it. Oh, and it will be longer for
those of you who wanted longer chapters. Hope you enjoy!
Little Surprises
As she reached the bottom of the stairs, Hermione caught a glimpse of Harry out of the corner of her eye. She went to turn around but Harry interrupted her, "No, wait!" Hermione stopped for a second and then went to turn again.
"You have to stop and hear my side of the story." Harry began, but Hermione cut him off with a, "Why should I?" She felt so betrayed, and, after that dream, he was the last person she wanted to see. But Harry looked so pitiful there that she had to go down to him. She sat in the windowsi1l, looking out at the moon in the sky, avoiding Harry's eyes.
"Look, I've been an ass. There's no better way to say it."
"We all know you've been an ass Harry, but what the hell were you thinking? I mean, damn that was stupid!" Hermione glared at him.
"Well, the truth is, I wasn't thinking 'Mione. I wondered what it would be like to fuck in the Great Hall under an invisibility cloak at midnight one night while fire talking with Luna. You know, one of those stupid things you come up with when you've had way too little sleep and you don't want to do your homework."
"Still, Harry, most people don't act on their midnight ideas, especially not ones that involve fucking in public places. That doesn't explain why you did it."
"Well, Luna and I had been making out that afternoon in the Gryffindor common room, and as I was feeling her down I found a condom in her pocket. She told me that she always carried one around for safety. That idea hit my mind again and the combination of not sleeping enough for the past month or two and the whole making out thing really made the idea sound good." Harry paused.
"It sounded fine then.those ideas always sound fine at the beginning."
"But what made you guys go to the Great Hall. Why didn't you just stay in the common room?" Hermione grasped to understand.
"Because, at the time, the Great Hall was empty and the kids were beginning to pile up in the common room. We didn't know how long we would be at it, we're both new to this sort of thing."
"Oh."
Hermione sat silent for a long while, just watching the moon and the stars. She didn't know what to say. Nothing seemed appropriate and she wasn't about to stick her foot in her mouth. God, this all sucked, and now she knew that he really loved her. Harry never spent time like that talking to her about all the random things that popped into his head.
Finally, after a really long, really awkward pause, Hermione blurted out, "God, I hope you guys got in a ton of trouble and get kicked out of school!"
"Hermione!" Harry shout whispered. "What'd I ever do to you?! Sure I may have done some stupid shit back there, but I've always been there for you. You've always been my partner in crime, there to back me up in my fight against Voldemort!"
Hermione turned and shouted sarcastically, "Oh please, your 'partner in crime'. HELL I FUCKING LOVED YOU AND YOU JUST PUT ME ASIDE FOR A FREAK LIKE LUNA!" She turned bright red.
"Oh shit." she thought aloud. "I better go now."
Hermione jumped out of the sill and ran up the stairs, leaving Harry there to ponder what had happened.
