Chapter 5: Trip to Hogsmeade

Valentine's Day dawned bright and clear. It would be a beautiful day to go to Hogsmeade. Andrew was waiting for her in the entrance hall.

"Hey, ready to go?" he asked her.

"I'm ready," she replied quietly. Andrew took her hand and together they walked to Hogsmeade. Hermione gave him a small smile as they walked out the door.

On the way there, Andrew noticed that Hermione was shivering under her cloak. Since he wasn't that cold, he took his off and placed it around her shoulders. She looked up at him gratefully. "Thanks."

"My pleasure, but I should be thanking you."

"Why?" Hermione was confused.

"For going out with me. I've liked you since 6th year. I don't know what I would've done if you said no." They were walking down High Street, past the 3 Broomsticks.

"Let's stop in for some butterbeer," suggested Hermione. They walked inside and a voice said, "Anything I can you two?" It was Madam Rosmerta.

"Yes, can we have two butterbeers please?" Hermione took the butterbeers while Andrew paid for them. The couple found a table near the corner and sat down. Hermione took a sip of her butterbeer. "Oh, this is much better." She sighed. "To tell you the truth," she started. "I've liked you probably since January, too. So when I got your letter last night, I was numb with shock, but also relieved. I was hoping that you would ask me out, but at the same time not hoping. Does that make any sense to you?"

"It makes perfect sense." He scooted his chair around so that he was sitting next to her. He pulled something out of the pocket of his robes and handed it to Hermione. It was a red rose. Her mouth dropped open in surprise and delight.

"Oh my god," she whispered. "It's lovely!" and she threw her arms around Andrew's neck. He hugged her back and then put it in her hair. She pulled away and got out a mirror to see how it looked.

She smiled up at him since he was almost 5 inches taller than she was. "Thank you." and she hugged him again, just not as fiercely this time. He just held her, and waited for her to get a grip on herself.

When she finally did, Andrew was just smiling. "Are you done?" he asked in a playful tone. "Yes," she replied, sounding tired. "And now let's go walk around outside, it's so nice."

"Alright." They finished their butterbeers and walked out of the Three Broomsticks.

The couple went up and down High Street, occasionally browsing in the shops but not buying anything. As they passed the Owl Office, something triggered Hermione's memory. "Oh my god," she whispered to nobody.

"What?" asked Andrew.

"This letter," she brought it out, "was this the first letter that you wrote to me or did you send me an anonymous note over Christmas?" He started blushing, and tried to cover it, but Hermione spotted it. "It was you!" she exclaimed, and Andrew nodded shyly. "Oh thank god! I was thinking it was someone else, trying to mess with my head. It was driving me insane, but now I don't have to worry about it. Harry and Ron thought that it was a secret admirer, and I guess, it was at the time, but not anymore!" Hermione laid her head on Andrew's shoulder, since that was as high as she could reach. Her boyfriend put his arms around her waist and together they walked back up to the castle.

Hermione seemed to be in a daze, but snapped back to reality when they entered the entrance hall. She said good-bye, and started to walk up the marble staircase, but Andrew pulled her into an empty classroom.

"Andrew, what. . ." but she was cut off as he pulled her into a fierce hug. She hugged him back, but before she pulled away to go to Gryffindor Tower, Andrew had tilted her head towards his and lightly kissed her lips. It shocked her for a second, but it was over before she could enjoy it. They walked out together, smiled at each other, and walked off to their respective dormitories, small smiles playing at their lips.
