Chapter 4 - The Kiss
A few days pass.At this point, Harry is having a hard time beleiving that he could ever have as much love for Ginny as he has for Hermione..And seeing her and Ron together only ever makes matters worse.Until, finally Harry decided to confront Hermione about his feelings.
First he would need to decide how.
They were in the Gryfendor common room.It was 2 saturdays away from the ball.
"I think I'm going to go lie down, okay Ron?" said Harry.
"Why, do you feel sick?" Ron answered.
"Not really, but I'm a little dizzy," Harry lied.
"Okay then," said Ron, just as Hermione sat next to him on the couch neer the fire.
Upstairs, Harry did not lie down however.Instead he began to think up a letter to Hermione.He knew he shouldn't but he had to get his feelings out somehow.He stared at the blank parchment for a moment then began to write:
Dear Hermione,
I really don't know how to say this.There is something I must tell you.It is very important.Would you please
meet me by the lake on Monday afternoon around 6:00?
Yours,
Harry
'There' he thought when he was finished.
~ The next morning ~
Hermione Granger woke with a start the next morning.When she looked over she realized Hedwig was there.The owl had nudged her hand slightly and woked her up.She stroked her gently and she held out her foot.Hermione took the letter and sat up to read it, and Hedwig took off.
When she finished reading it she folded it back up.For a second she wondered what Harry ment by 'Yours' ,but didn't pay much attention. As she slid the letter onto her nightstand her book fell and hit the floor with a 'BAM!' It woke up a few people, but she didn't really care, she was wondering what Harry needed to tell her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At five minutes to six on Monday, Hermione started to the lake.When she got there she didn't see anyone. 'He's late' she thought.As she went to sit by the lake, Harry came up from behind her.
"Hi ," he said.
"Hey." she replied.
At first they were in scilence, then Harry began to talk.
"I don't know how to say this...Hermione..."
"Yes?" Hermione replied.
"You kow I really like Ginny,...but compared to this other girl...i ...uh ... don't like her as much."
"Oh?" said Hermione starting to look upset.
"Well there is this other girl who I have been like-"
"-So why did you ask Ginny to the the ball instead of her?" Hermione interrupted.
"Because she has a boyfriend..." Harry replied sadly.
"Oh," said Hermione quietly, "Who is this girl?"
Harry stared deeply into Hermione's eyes, but before he could stop himself,
...he kissed her.Even though it was but a small, slow,soft kiss on the lips, it was still a kiss.
When he pulled away he whispered the answer to Hermione's question in her ear, "You."
"me?" she whispered back suprised.
Harry nodded.
"Harry!?" Hermione stood up, "You can't like me!I-I have Ron, a-and what about poor Ginny?She-"Hermione started but Harry interupted her.
"-I really like you Hermione."
"Harry..." Hermione began, "I don't...I'm s-sorry but....I love Ron...."
Harry sighed he knew Hermion would never like him, but would he ever get over her?
"Ok Hermione, I'm sorry."
"It's ok said Hermione and they began walking back to the dorms.
"Hermione?" Harry said after a while.
"Yeah?"
"T-T-The kiss...never happened....okay?"
"What kiss?" said Hermione smiling, and hugged him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As days passed and the Hogwarts ball neared, Harry began to not notice everytime Ron kissed Hermione, or the way they held hands.Then two days before the ball Harry was over Hermione , he didn't know how, but knew he was.Maby its because he knew Hermione could love no one else but Ron, but whatever it was, that night he went to bed thinking of the ball, but most of all, ...... Ginny.
