AN: I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to get this chapter up, but I had
it almost done and then the computer it was saved on crashed and I haven't
been able to get it to start so I had to rewrite the whole thing. Again
I'm really sorry.
Piper-h-99 - it's good to know I have someone anxiously awaiting this chapter, I am so sorry it has taken so long
Madlilcaptor696 - I'm glad you enjoyed, hope you like this chapter as much
Naqatalie Wood - Thank you, I am writing as fast as I can
thepaxilfairy - All I'm going to say is you might just be on to something
Mionegal - I promise I will try and not be a waste of space, I'm continuing, don't worry, when the story is over you'll know
hillary - I don't think I would enjoy dying just yet. So I'm guessing being better then fresh pickled chickens on a Tuesday afternoon is a good thing right?
Lauren - I'm glad you're enjoying the story and don't worry they will soon enough.
Andrea - It's not over yet
rADICAL dREAMER - I'm trying and thank you
Damaged Gal Rox - I'm working on finishing it.
Raina - don't worry I plan on writing at least a few more chapters and there is much more juicy plot coming.
Malfoychic - I do spell check I just don't catch everything, but I'll work on it more I promise.
Fire-Angel - I'm working on it
Becca - I like where it is going too, but then again I kind of control that.
Crystal Rose - I didn't stop writing intentionally, but I'm continuing so don't worry.
Jen-Jen gundam fan - I don't feel it is over either. Thank you and I'm working on the spelling thing
On Friday everyone, from third year up, was excited about the upcoming weekend. It was a Hogsmeade weekend, a chance for them to get out of the castle and have fun down in the village. Hermione sat in the common room and watched Ron and Harry having a game of chess. Ron was winning, like he always did, but Harry was putting up a brilliant fight. Nothing much had happened in the two weeks since Victor's letter arrived. Hermione had answered him back saying simply that she understood. Everything had gone back to normal between Harry, Ron, and herself. But things were about to change again. That night, after beating Harry at chess four times, Ron had pulled Hermione aside to ask her something.
"Um Hermione, would you have lunch with me tomorrow?"
"Of course I will, I always do Ron."
"No Hermione I mean like just you and I."
"Oh you mean like on a date."
"Yeah." Hermione looked at Ron for a second. She didn't have those feelings for him, but judging by the look on Ron's face it had taken a lot of courage for him to ask her out. Hermione gave in.
"Sure Ron, why not?"
"Great Hermione, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay Ron, goodnight." Ron ran up the stairs to his dormitory, as if he was scared that Hermione might change her mind if he stayed there to long.
"Goodnight Hermione" a voice said in her ear. It was Harry, Hermione had completely forgotten that he was still there.
"Oh Harry you startled me."
"I've been here the whole time Hermione."
"I know Harry, but you still startled me."
"You okay Hermione, you seem off about something."
"I'm fine Harry I'm just - I don't know. It's just I'm surprised is all. Ron just asked me to lunch, like on a date."
"Yeah I knew he was going to. He told me just before he asked you. So what did you say?"
"Well I was completely surprised - I didn't know he had feelings for me. I certainly don't have them for him. But I said yes anyway. I mean it can't hurt to go out with him. If the date is horrible then he'll know it too and if it goes well then it goes well."
"That's one way of looking at it. I hope you enjoy yourself."
"Thanks, goodnight Harry."
The next morning Hermione dressed in baggy jeans and an old shirt, thinking that she would just spend a quite day in the tower reading a good book, but then she remembered her date with Ron. She quickly changed into brown silk pants and a white shirt. She threw on her cloak and walked down stairs to the common room. Ron was waiting for her, she hadn't expected that. They walked down to breakfast together and after they had eaten they headed down to Hogsmeade with Harry. Once in the village they separated from Harry and walked around for a while. They talked lightly while Ron got some joke stuff from Zonko's and some sweets from Honeydukes.
Around noon they walked into the Three Broomsticks to have a butterbeer and a some lunch. Harry was there as well. They said hello to him before sitting down at a table across the room from him. There conversation got more involved as they sat there and to Hermione's surprise she was having a great time.
"But honestly Hermione," Ron said through much laughter, "are you having a good time?"
"Yeah Ron, I really am."
"Well you don't have to sound so surprised about it, Hermione. We have been friends for five years, we were bound to have something to talk about."
"But still I am surprised Ron."
"Oh because that makes me feel really good about myself."
"No Ron that's not what I meant."
"I understand Hermione really I do." They laughed lightly again and then Ron leaned in towards her. Hermione knew what he was doing and to her great surprise she didn't resist. She let Ron's lips meet hers. Then there was - nothing. She didn't feel a thing, Hermione assumed that if she had had a brother this is what kissing him would be like. They broke apart and the look on Ron's face told her that he had felt nothing too. They both started to laugh a very awkward laugh.
"That was a bad kiss wasn't it Hermione?"
"Honestly Ron?"
"Honestly."
"It was horrible," Hermione said trying not to laugh to hard. "Oh Ron I'm sorry, but it was really was."
"It's okay Hermione, I felt the same way. I just got the feeling like I was kissing my sister. I guess we were just supposed to be friends after all."
"That's funny Ron I got the same feeling, well that I was kissing a brother anyway." They both laughed again. This time the laughter was much less tense.
"Well know that that failed experiment in dating is over do you reckon we should invite Harry over?"
"Yeah." But when Hermione turned to where Harry had been sitting earlier she saw no one was sitting their. She looked towards the door and saw Harry slamming it shut. He seemed very upset about something. Hermione hurried from the table, said a quick goodbye to Ron, grabbed her cloak, and followed after Harry. He was storming towards the castle.
"Harry!" Hermione called after him, but Harry just moved faster. She began to run after him. She finally caught up with him as he was crossing the grounds towards the castle. Hermione pulled on his arm and he turned around.
"What is wrong with you Harry?"
"You want to know what's wrong Hermione?"
"Yes, why did you storm out like that?"
"Because Hermione I was jealous when I saw you and Ron kissing." Hermione was completely shocked. So shocked that she let go of his arm and didn't even notice when he started towards the castle again. But Hermione shook herself out of it and followed him again.
"What do you mean you were jealous Harry? Just yesterday you were hoping I had a good time with Ron today."
"That was before I realized how I felt about you." Harry turned around suddenly and almost knocked Hermione over. "When I saw you and Ron were hitting it off I felt happy for you, but when you kissed I felt so angry I could just punch Ron."
"Harry, Ron and I didn't hit it off. Sure we had fun talking, we usually do. But it was a horrible kiss. And if you had feelings for me why didn't you ask me out before Ron or at least stop him from asking?"
"I didn't realize it until I saw you kissing someone else. I kind of felt the same way when you were talking about Krum, but I just figured that I was mad at him for the way he was making you feel." For a long time Harry and Hermione stood there just looking at each other. Harry had said what Hermione had thought she wanted to hear for some time. But what should she say back. It was obvious that Harry had felt he shouldn't have said anything, but Hermione didn't want him to think that. She reached on of her hands up and stroked his hair lightly.
"I've wanted you to say that for what seems like forever." Harry smiled. He leaned down and kissed Hermione gently. This time she knew she was not kissing a brother.
AN: So Hermione kissed 2 different guys in one day, bet you didn't see that coming. I double checked it for spelling so if there are any errors then I'm just an idiot, although I did notice when I was looking at chapter 2 online there were errors on it that were not in the document I have saved in word, so who knows. Well anyway I hope I did better for you this time. I promise I wont let this much time pass between I put up chapters again - it's just not fare to you guys. Again very sorry about that.
Oh and PS you might hate where I stopped it but I was tempted to stop it after Ron and Hermione kiss so just be happy I added more then that.
