Chapter Three: Emotions Revealed
I walked into the girls dormitories and shut the door quietly behind me as the other girls were all asleep. I crept over to my bed and put the parchment with the clues, the biscuits and my drink on the side table. I changed into my pyjamas and sat cross legged on my bed. I took the parchment from the side table and drew the curtains around my bed. I decided to work out the next clue now so that we could get a head start in the morning, after all, tomorrow was Saturday and instead of a lie inn, I was going to drag Harry out of bed and to the next clue, whatever it was. I looked down at the parchment and read the clue over and over in my mind.
'Two lovers share this form of compassion, more than once in a week, it must be done correctly, on the lips and not the cheek'
Realisation finally dawned on me when I figured out the answer. A kiss. I had to kiss Harry to get the next clue. I should have been made up, and inside I was, but how would I explain this to Harry. Would he even want to kiss me? I put the parchment back onto the side table and climbed into bed. I lay on my side and stared through the gap in the curtains at the night sky outside. I tried really hard to get to sleep, but I was failing miserably. I knew I wasn't going to get to sleep anytime soon so I crept out of bed. I picked up my night gown from the bottom of my bed and walked down stairs to the common room. As I walked down the last step I noticed a body lying down on the couch. As I got closer, I realised that they were asleep. I walked around to the front of the couch and noticed it was Harry. He had fallen asleep on the couch, still in his Hogwarts robes and still with his glasses on.
I laughed, and I thought I was the one who was tired. I bent down and removed his glasses. I put them on the table behind me and took of my night gown. I placed it over Harry and walked over to the window. I sighed, how was I going to get Harry to kiss me. It would have been alright if it was just on the cheek as he has done that to me before, but on the lips? This was so frustrating. I turned around and walked back up to my dorm, I picked up the parchment with the clues on it and walked back down to the common room. I sat down in the chair across from Harry, I started to read the clue again, to figure out how I should approach it, when I looked over at Harry. He was so peaceful when he was sleeping, like he had no problems and nothing to worry about.
He began to stir. He opened his eyes and looked around the common room, when his eyes fell on me, he gave me his infamous smile. I smiled back and began to talk, as he sat up.
"Hello, sleepy head" I teased.
"Hey Mione, what time is it?" he asked, as he sat up straight.
I looked down at my watch.
"Half three, why do you ask?"
"No reason"
He yawned again and so did I, apparently I was tired after all.
"What's that you've got?" he asked pointing to the piece of parchment in my hands.
I was hoping he wouldn't ask me about it, as now I would have to tell him about the next clue.
"Just the clues, that's all" I couldn't lie to him now, could I?
"What's the next one then?" he replied.
"I'll read it out to you"
"O.k."
"Two lovers share this form of compassion, more than once in a week, it must be done correctly, on the lips and not the cheek" I read out loud.
He blushed, he knew what the answer was.
"Mione, before we do, that, to get the next clue, I want to tell you something" he said looking down.
"Sure Harry, what is it?" I asked puzzled.
"Well, I don't know when exactly it happened, but it just did"
"What happened?"
"Well, I think, in fact I know, I'm falling in love with you. No, I am in love with you"
He continued to look down, afraid that I would say that I didn't feel the same way. But if he did look up, all he would see was me smiling from ear to ear.
"Harry, Harry look at me" I asked.
He pulled his head up slowly, afraid of my answer.
"Harry, I love you too, I always have, and I always will" I answered.
As soon as the words left my mouth, he too smiled, and ran over to me. He picked me up and spun me round. He put me down. I had my hands around his neck, and he had his arms around my waist. Slowly, but surely, he leant down, and kissed me. It was magical, everything I had ever dreamt it would be and more. I dropped the piece of parchment I was holding, and as I did, it floated down and landed on the couch, the next clue appearing. After a few moments, Harry pulled away, but rested his forehead on mine.
"Wow" was all I could manage to say.
"Wow" repeated Harry.
"I guess, we've got the next clue now then!" I said joking.
Harry laughed.
"Mione, will you do me the honour and be my girlfriend?" he asked, looking into my eyes.
"I certainly will!" I replied back, hugging him.
He pulled away and sat down on the couch, he then sat me on his lap, as I leant in against his chest, he put one arm around me, and with the other picked up the piece of parchment. He read out the next clue.
'There was a green house. Inside the green house there was a white house. Inside the white house there was a red house. Inside the red house there were lots of babies'
We looked at each other in amusement. These clues were getting harder.
"Harry, can we carry on with this clue in the morning, only I'm quite tired now"
"Sure, night Mione" he said, as he kissed the top of my head.
"Night, Harry"
I stood up, and took the parchment, with the clues on, that he handed me. I smiled at him before walking up the stairs. I was halfway up, when I heard Harry shout me.
"Mione!" he shouted as quietly as he could.
I turned around, and found that he was right behind me, holding my night gown.
"You forgot this" he said as he handed it over to me.
"Thanks Harry, night" I said as I carried on up the stairs.
"Night Mione" he replied as he too cam up the stairs and turned left into the boys dormitories, as I turned right into the girls.
I dropped my night gown over my trunk, put the piece of parchment back onto my side table and climbed into bed. I pulled the covers up over me and fell into a deep sleep.
