Rain of Tears

Chapter 4 Confessions and Fights

They remained embraced for sometime; feeling as if they broke apart something terrible might happen. Finally Harry broke away. He looked at Hermione, "I have wanted you ever since you gave me that kiss at King Cross. Sometimes I would tell myself that I didn't like you but I always truly did. And when you got with Ron, I told myself it would only last a while, and I promised to myself that as soon as you two broke up I was going to tell you how I have felt about you."

Hermione felt a bit shocked at Harry's confession. Then she said. "Harry, are you asking me..." Harry nodded. "But you're with Ginny."

"No I'm not. Didn't you here she broke up with me" said Harry.

"She broke up with you." Hermione thought about this, Ginny seemed so happy to be with him she didn't understand why she would break up with him.

"So, will you be my girlfriend?" asked Harry

Hermione looked at Harry straight in the eye. She didn't know why but she felt he was hiding something, but ether way she replied, "I will." Harry then laced his fingers with Hermione's as he led her down the corridor to her next class.

When her class was done Harry was waiting for her outside her class. He then grabbed her hand and began leading her to the Gryffindor common room. Hermione just stared at the picture of the fat lady, as if it were something extremely dangerous. Harry then said the password and entered the common room. When he noticed that Hermione wasn't behind him anymore, he turned to see her standing at the entrance of the common room. He went towards her, grabbed her hand, and pulled her through the hole. Hermione felt a bit more relived she never thought she would come back to the Gryffindor common room.

There was no one inside so they had the common room all to themselves. Hermione waited in the common room while Harry went to go get lunch. For some reason the Gryffindor common room didn't feel like home to her anymore. She felt a bit strange and out of place sitting there.

Harry brought back some rice and chicken from the kitchen, and pumpkin pie toped with whipped cream. Hermione then began a whip cream fight by placing whip cream on Harry's cheek. He then repaid her by putting some on her nose and cleaning the access of his hand on her hair. By the time they were finish they were covered in whipped cream. Hermione began cleaning herself with her the sleeve of her robes. "Is it all off?" She asked Harry.

"You still have some, here and here and here and here," he said pointing to different directions of his face and hair.

"How about now?" asked Hermione.

"No you still have some here" he said pointing to the top of his lip.

"Now?" asked Hermione. Harry laughed

"No, here" and he leaned in and whipped the whip cream of with his lips. Her lip and his made contact and he gave her a light kiss, and then he pulled away. Hermione thought for a moment his kiss didn't get anywhere near Ron's. For Ron's even the lightest kiss made her feel a bit out of breath. Harry leaned in for another kiss and hermione gave in as she laid her head down on the couch. He placed a hand on her waist keeping their lips connected. Hermiones arms were now around his neck and her eyes were closed.

Suddenly Harry pulled away from her he turned his head and watched five giggling girls walk passed them gossiping about something. Hermione sat up she watched as the five giggly girls went up to one of the rooms. Once they were out of site, Harry went to kiss her again, but Hermione backed away. "I have to get to class." And she got up and left the Gryffindor common room. Harry thought for a moment what had gotten into her she didn't even say good-bye.

Hermione wasn't able to concentrate much during transfiguration for some reason the story of Ginny dumping Harry didn't seem right. She decided she would talk to her as soon as class ended.

When class was finished Hermione went to find Ginny but was unsuccessful. After about one hour of searching she decided to go back to the Head common room and work on some homework. She was about to say the password to the Head common room, when she noticed Ginny walking towards her. "Hi Ginny I've been looking for you everywhere." She said.

"I can't believe you, I thought you were my friend." Said Ginny in a fuming tone.

Hermione was a bit confused. Suddenly Ginny pulled out her wand and shot a spell towards Hermione sending her inches a way from the edge of the stairs. Hermione pulled her wand out and summoned Ginny's wand catching it in mid air before Ginny could say another incantation.

"What's..." but Hermione had no time to finish her sentence. Ginny was now on top of her pulling at her hair and trying to sock her. Hermione drooped their wands down the stairs. They both let out screams as they went tumbling down the steps.

Draco then walked out of the Head common room having heard their screams he ran down the stairs skipping the last four steps and tried pulling Ginny off of Hermione.
However Professor McGonegall was already there. "Miss. Granger. Miss. Wesley."

Ginny Let go of Hermione's hair, and Malfoy took a step back. They all looked up at McGonegall with fear in their eye. "Follow me please." She said in livid tone.

Ginny got off of Hermione and Draco gave a hand to help Hermione up. She took it but for some reason she didn't want to let go. His hands were soft and warm. Their eyes met and she gazed into his deep gray eyes in wonder. " Miss. Granger." She heard McGonegall call her. Hermione popped out of her daydream. She looked up to she Ginny and McGonegall waiting for her at the top of the stairs. She let go of Draco's hand and went up the stairs.

She turned to see him walking in the other direction, she didn't know what had happened, but she knew it was something wonderful.
