"The Date"

****************************

Chapter 3

*Hermione was trying to relax, but it wasn't working.

Harry in the meantime did as he was told. He held Hermione tight around her waist and was astound to feel how soft it was. Then he leaned in and kissed her instinctly, he was surprised he was enjoying it and deepened the kiss. They knew best friends weren't supposed to be doing that, but it felt so right. Hermione then remembered that she was suppose to be helping Harry and not snogging him senseless, so she reluctantly pulled back. She thought she saw love and desire in Harry's eyes, but it was for only a second and then it was gone.

Hermione then thought it was just her imagination. They stared at each other for a second before Hermione said "Harry stop worrying you'll be fine, now if you will excuse me I'm going to bed, goodnight. Harry looked after her as she went as if wanting to say something, but at the last minute he just nodded and went to bed*

*That night neither Harry or Hermione got any sleep thinking about that wonderful kiss that they had shared and how it felt when it happened. They both were trying to convince

themselves that they hadn't fallen for their best friend, but it was already a lost case.*

*The weeks passed and Harry and Hermione didn't mention the kiss, but that didn't stop them from thinking about it. Also things had become a little awkward between them. Soon enough the day of the date with Cho had arrived and Harry wasn't really excited as he was getting ready. Of course Ron noticed this and asked him about it.

"What is the matter Harry are you nervous?'' asked Ron as he watched Harry from his own bed.

"A little, where's Hermione?"

"Oh Hermione said that she was going to be in the library studying all day."

said Ron, who was baffled about why Harry would be thinking about Hermione when he had a date. Then Ron remembered what Harry had told him happened in the Christmas holidays. He was about to tell Harry that to go and talk to Hermione and ditch Cho when he realized Harry had already gone to get his date. Ron couldn't believe that his best friends had fallen for each other and were being so naïve about it.

'They'll just have to figure it out themselves' he thought as he continued reading the magazine he had been reading all morning.
