Chapter 3: Judgements
Harry's POV
Harry's eyes traveled around the room. and Hermione realized he was looking everywhere but at her. Harry started to fidget.
*How do I say this? How do I put into words that I feel so deeply for her that it hurts to look at her, and know that she isn't with me?*
"Mione, I.." Harry began, but was cut-off by Dobby entering through the door.
Dobby began rambling, and all Harry got out of his many sentences were "teachers", "search party", "angry", "Dobby in trouble."
*phew! saved by the door.*
As Dobby began violently slamming his head against the door, Harry asked, "Does this mean you will let us out of her now?" He secretly was wishing Dobby would disappear, and lock the door again so he could **show** Hermione what he was going to tell her. He wished they could stay here alone together forever. He didn't know when his relationship with her had changed, at least in his eyes. It had been a long time now. Every night he dreams of her. Just before he woke they had almost kissed, but he always woke up before they touched lips.
Now as he stood in the middle of the room he found himself staring at her. He was incapable of turning away. She was so beautiful.
Hermione's POV
She turned around to look at Harry, and found he was staring at her with something in his eyes that she had seen before, but had yet to decide what it was. When he noticed she was looking at him as well he turned around in an embarrassed way.
*That's strange.*
Hermione knew she had feelings for Harry. She figured she always would. From the very beginning when they first met she had felt a strong attraction to him.
*If it isn't love it is the strongest attraction I have ever felt to someone. Including Viktor.*
It seemed her attraction grew everyday she new him. Just thinking of his dark black hair that spiked up, and was unruly at every moment of the day, and his bright green eyes that seemed to glow sent shivers through her body. At any time of the day she found herself daydreaming of what it would be like to run her hands through his hair, and stare in his eyes for hours.
*wishful thinking*
But then there were times when she thought there was something there. When she would catch him staring at her. She would always push those thought away, as he would always turn around.
This time however, when their eyes met he didn't turn away, like he did a few seconds ago. His mind seemed to be made up about something as he stared at her hard.
He walked over to her, and grabbed her hand.
"Maybe we should go," he whispered softly.
"Yeah, maybe." she answered in an equally low whisper.
He kissed the side of her cheek as a blush rose from her kneck to her cheeks giving her the look of a porcelain doll.
Her cheek was flaming where he had kissed, and she was blushing furiously. She noticed his face transforming from playfulness to adoration, and then sudden blushing.
*I hope anyway, and what's with the blush?* she thought while mentally crossing her fingers and giggling silently.
They walked through the door, their hands still linked, Hermione noted with a small smile. They began to make their way back towards the great hall, since everyone would be there for breakfast.
To her displeasure he had dropped his wand, as well as her hand, before they had entered the great hall. However he did wink at her as they walked down the hall, and gave a small smile, which she returned.One thing was for sure. Something had definitely changed between them.
Harry's POV
The kiss had been completely unexpected. He hadn't planned it, but it seemed he had had no control. When she had whispered to him, he got the fleeting image of them in a bed, with her whispering in his ear. As the effects of that image was spreading throughout his body he remembered of the times he and Ron had spent in the boys common room coming up with all of the sex goddesses in Hogwarts. Now Hermione seemed the ultimate one they had never thought of. These images had taken him by surprise. Sure at times he had thought of Hermione as more than a friend, but he had never had a sexual image of her, excluding dreams. Harry blushed at the thought.
thought.
As nervous as he was, he had grabbed her hand, and surprisingly she didn't flinch, or pull back.
*Maybe, just maybe she could like me as well.*
The next thing they saw was Ron running up to them and demanding where they had been. He was obviously furious with them. His face was as red as his hair, and his eyes had glazed over fury in them.
"Where have you been?!" he demanded, "I reported you missing when you two missed class, and they sent a search party through the castle. No one has found, but you just walk in here like nothing has happened. SMILING non-of-the-less. What is going on?!" He was practically screaming in front of the entire school.
The professors had stood up at their entrance, but had watched Ron's interrogation, and had sat back down.
All the houses were watching with curiousity, also wanting to know where the two had been. Draco smirked, and "whispered" to the Slytherin table: "aww is Potter and the mudblood bed buddies? Or is Potter just finally having his way with the prat?"
Harry couldn't take this. Sure he had called Hermione a mudblood before, but the jokes just weren't going to cut it this time.
Hermione, sensing Harry's fury, put her hand on his arm, and said, "Harry just ignore him. You know he is nothing but a spoiled full-blood nwith greasy hair."
But he couldn't take it. Forgetting about the wand, he settled for a full-out muggle way of fighting. After disarming Malfoy of his wand, he handed his own to Hermione quickly, so he could get to Malfoy before the teachers parted them. After giving Hemrione an appologetic look, and getting a bewildered look from Ron, he sprinted over to Malfoy.
Surprisingly the teachers were taking there time getting there, giving Harry a little extra time to make it over to Malfoy.
Once Harry got there only the strongest spell could tear him a part.
"This is for Ron, and his family!" he screamed as his fist came flying through the air to meet a cowering Malfoy's nose.
"This is for Hermione!" his knee met Malfoy where it hurts the most. "And finally this is for my family!" as his head came crashing down on Malfoy's, knocking him out cold.
"Harry Potter! That is quite enough! What do you think you are doing?!" Snape cold, menacing voice floated upon deaf ears.
"Doing something I should have done a long time ago!" he shouted, and received many gasps amoung the houses. Even though the Gryffindors knew they were going to get many points taken off for this, they were still cheering Harry on, for the priceless moments with Malfoy.
"Parkinson, take Malfoy to the Madam Promfey, Potter, come with me!" Snape sneered. To Snape's dismay Professor McGonagal, and Professor Dumbledore followed them. Harry sighed with relief, although the other professors' eyes held nothing in them that gave him hope of getting out of this with detention.
"In here Potter, now!"
Hermione POV
As she saw Harry springting over to Malfoy, she began to panick. What if he got beaten up by Malfoy? Or worse.. EXPELLED?! Then she really began to panick as she saw that Snape was the first of the teachers to make it down to where they were standing.
However she was filled with warmth when he "kneed" Malfoy for her. She loved him even more than she did before if that was possible.
*Maybe, just maybe he could like me too!*
She was soon back to panicking when Snape ordered Harry to follow him. She gave a pleading look for Proffesors Dumbledore, and Magonagal to follow them, in which they did quickly to her relief.
She looked over to where Ron was standing looking perturbed.
"What was that all about?" Ron asked astonished.
"I have no idea.I have never seen Harry blow up like that." she replied.
"Where have you both been anyway? Off snogging in a corner?" Ron ventured smoothly.
"We got locked in a room by Dobby!" said Hermione indignantly.
"What? Why would Dobby do that?"
"I have no idea! And why would you think we would be doing.. that anyway?" She had sumbled over the words "snogging."
Ron looked at her incrediously. "You seriously plan to tell me that you don't know Harry likes you?"
Hermione looked shocked.
*Maybe he does!*
"Oh come on Mione! You are telling me you never noticed that Harry has had a MAJOR crush on you since 3rd year?!"
"Well.. I-I never noticed until recently that Harry might have feelings for me besides friendship."
"What do you mean until re--" Ron started, but was interupted by Hermione pulling him on the arm, and saying "Lets go outside for a while!"
Thankfully Ron dropped the subject, and followed Hermione through the doors.
