"Harry, that's not funny. Give my wand back to me." Hermione whined as she tried to grab the wand from Harry's outstretched hand.
"No way. Not until you say it." Harry replied and held her wand higher.
"Not now, Harry."
"But of course my dear."
Hermione looked very flustered and finally gave up. "All right. You win. I love you." Hermione whispered in his ear, causing him to shudder.
Harry grinned, "Now was that so hard?" As he handed back her wand, he pulled her close and she narrowly avoided a kiss he was attempting to give her.
"Not now Harry. We're going to be late for potions." Hermione protested and backed away from Harry.
Harry nodded and they headed toward the dungeons.

"The three of you are late. Ten points from Gryffindor. Take your seats before I make it fifty."
Snape barked as they walked in the door. Neville went to the very back row and Hermione and Harry walked right past Ron and sat next to Draco, as they had been doing for the past few months.
"I see the famous Harry Potter is still losing points, even though he's friends with me." Draco snickered as they took out their books.
"You are so conceited Drake." Hermione said, causing Draco's face to grow red.
"…Here are your instructions. Begin." Snape snapped.
The trio had obviously been talking when Snape told them what they would be making and were quick to find out that small piece of information.
They worked uneventfully for twenty minutes or so until a cauldron in the front of the room exploded. Hermione wasn't very interested in the excitement and was watching the foam swirl in Harry's cauldron, when she saw Ron drop something into Harry's cauldron. She immediately told Draco and Harry and Draco said he had an idea.
Draco went to talk to Snape and when he returned, he had some instructions. "Snape said just keep working as if we didn't notice anything, but be prepared for something to happen. If something does, he'll nail our sneaky little friend here."
So for the next ten minutes they all worked as normal as possible, until Harry added powdered dragon teeth. Then something happened and it happed fast. First, the liquid turned from green to blood red and it had ceased to boil. Then the cauldron exploded, showering Harry, Hermione, and Draco with the liquid.
"What's going on?" Snape asked hastily, sounding surprised. He strode to where the trio lay and noticed their skin had become taut and they could barely breathe. Snape ran to his office and grabbed the antidote off of a shelf. As soon as it was administered, Snape turned to Ron, "Weasley. You know sabotaging someone else's potion is against school rules. Go to Professor Dumbledore at once!"
As Ron gathered his things, he shot the three of them one of the dirtiest looks any of them had ever seen.
After he left, Snape dismissed the class and led Harry, Hermione and Draco to the hospital wing. "Are the three of you all right?"
They all nodded, but looked very pale and weak.
**************************************************
When they arrived, Snape explained to Madame Pomfrey what happened. She ordered the three of them to remain in the hospital wing until the following afternoon.
After they changed and had gotten into bed, Harry rolled over and looked at Hermione. "Mione, are you asleep?" he whispered.
"Yes Harry. I'm staring right at you, but I'm asleep."
"Mione, there's something I want to talk to you about, but I don't want you to get offended. Okay?" Harry asked and Hermione nodded. "Listen, I love you, but I'm not sure what kind of love it is. I'm not sure if we're just good friends or if we're really in love. I'm not sure I really want to be more than a friend to you. Are you okay if we just stayed friends?"
Hermione thought about it a minute, but smiled and said she'd be all right with that. She got up and walked over to Harry. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and went back to bed, smiling.
