Chapter 2: Arrival

The arrival at The Weasley's was nothing short of ceremonious.
After tons of hugs and handshakes Harry was thankful to be able to bring his stuff up to Ron's room. Hermione was trudging along behind him to bring her stuff to Ginny's room. Harry turned to face her at the landing.
"Hermione, I know that something's wrong." She looked at him questionably, but he went on. "I can just tell, and I know you may not want to talk about it at the moment but I am here when you want to."
With that he continued up the stairs unable to look at her anymore, it was just so hard to see her sad.
The room was slightly crowded with Ron's things but Harry managed to find room for his own things. Then he took to lying on his cot that was already set up for him, to think for a bit, but because he was already so tired, he didn't even know when he drifted off.
He was jerked awake by Ron's insistent yells and shakes.
"Harry come on, wake up! It's time to eat." Ron bounded off downstairs again.
He was disappointed; his dream had been really good. It was something about Hermione, that's all that he could remember now.
Ugh, Harry knew he liked her, but he could barely even admit it to himself, let alone her.
Suddenly there was another shake at his shoulder, but this one was different, more gentle, "Harry, hey Harry!" Hermione was trying to get him up but he stayed the way he was, laying on his side with his eyes closed.
"Oh for heaven's sake! Harry, I know that you're awake!" She was getting desperate, "Fine, I give up trying to be nice, you have forced me to take desperate actions!"
Harry could practically hear her smiling but he would not give up this charade.
So she jumped on top of him and started to tickle him. He burst out laughing immediately and tickled her back, they stayed like this for a while, just tickling and laughing but Harry managed to pin Hermione beneath him. He had stopped tickling her but she was still laughing heartily. He watched her with much interest and she became aware of this and her laughter slowly drifted away.
They both turned serious and were fully aware of their positions. Harry couldn't stop himself; he leaned down as if to kiss her but stopped about a half a millimeter away just before she closed her eyes. He gave a fake and not very convincing laugh and stood up beside the cot.
She slowly got the hint and followed his lead down the stairs to eat, where they were greeted once again by the entire Weasley clan. "Geez what took so long?" asked a very impatient Ron.
"Hmm, we j-just, Harry wouldn't get up." Hermione stuttered.
At least it was half the truth.
The real truth was that Harry had been so close to kissing her, it pained him that he lost his nerve at the last second.
This was the only thing on his mind all through supper.

So like it?? I know its moving a little fast but I have a reason why it is, okay? So please just review.
