Gryffindor Tower

As Hermione went out the door she and Lavender bumped into Harry. As Lavender saw Hermione blush and look away she thought of something quick to say so Harry wouldn't notice.

"Um. Is Ron and Lee in the Domitory Harry?"

"Yah, do you want me to get them for you Lavernder?" -I hope she says yes then I don't have to be in the same room with Hermione alone.-

"No, that's okay. You know, Hermione was just about to go to the common room. I was just going if Ron was down there. Maybe you could go with her since I'll just go and. um... do stuff. See yah," and with that Lavender walked quickly back to the qirls dormitory and only Hermione heard it lock so that Hermione had to go with Harry unless he went to his room.

"Well, Hermione."

"Harry I have a really important thing to ask you. I think the common room is cleared out and I think I'll tell you there," with that Hermione and Harry went down to the common room. He was pulled onto the couch in front of the fire.

"Harry. There is this guy and I really, really, really like him a whole lot. I don't know what to do. Should I tell him how I feel up front or should I keep it bottled up insice. I am really confused. I am glad you're my friend because I know that I can trust you."

Harry panicked but the words that can to him first were the ones that hoped that he was the one she was talking about. "Tell him the minute you have him alone."

"Okay, well Harry um.. I. I. I LOVE YOU! There I said it."

"Hermione, I wanted to tell you I love you too." With those words they went into a 15 minute snog fest before Harry spoke.

"Hermione, will you do me the honor of letting me take you out to the Three Broomsticks for dinner Saturday since it is our next trip," Harry said, bowed on one knee.

"I will Harry. I must go now. I'll see you at dinner." Hermione kissed Harry before skipping happily up the stairs. "Oh and will you go to the dance with me?"

"Of course." Hermione ran up the stairs to tell everyone.

"Finally, she's all mine." Harry smiled happily as he ran up the stairs to tell Ron the news.
