A/n: Hey peeps, heres chapter seven. This is the chapter you've all been waiting for. ^_^ I really hope you all like it. Let me know okay?:)
********
So let consequence do what it will to us, I don't care,
Let the stars stand as witness to it all,
Say the word and tonight I will follow you anywhere,
I just can't pretend anymore I'm too sturdy to fall.
CHORUS:
'Cause when you're holding me like this,
I'm carelessly lost in your touch,
I'm completely defenseless,
Baby, it's almost too much,
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly falling in love.
I am not afraid, I am not afraid.

Chapter 7: Helplessly hoplessly
Hermione had been despertly looking for Harry everywhere, but couldn't find him. Finnally after what seemed like ages the obvious hit her. The lake. Of course thats where Harry always went when he was upset or just needed to think. She quickly turned around and ran off in the direction.
Darkness surrounded Harry as he sat stareing into the silent rippleing water of the lake. The stars shone as bright as the mid-day sun and the moon gleamed, but Harry had barely taken notice. He barely saw, felt, or heard anything other than what was replating over and over in his head. He could still see Hermione in Walkers arms and smiling at him. The hurt he felt was worse than anything he had ever felt, and he had felt some pretty bad things before in his life.
Involenterally his eyes welled up with wet unwanted tears and he silently cursed himself for being so soft. Quickly swipeing his eyes he stood up to leave but before he could turn around a soft unsure voice broke through his thoughts.
"Harry?"
Without turning around he replied coldly.
"Yes?"
She slightly flinched at the harshness of his voice.
"I know that you are mad at me right now, but please will you just hear me out? Please?"
"Im not mad at you Hermione, not really, it's that Walker guy that I am mad at." Harry replied.
"I just wanted you to know, I have no feelings for Walker. We didn't kiss...I didn't even think about kissing him. We are only friends. And then I asked myself, "Why does he care so much?" and then I realized that you mus think that I am putting his friendship over yours and over Rons. Ans thats not true, not at all." She said looking him in the eyes willing him to forgive her.
"Mione," His tone had gone from cold to warm and for this she was greatly relieved. "I overreacted, I see that now, and I'm sorry. But it's just when I saw you in his arms I just felt as though my whole world was crashing down on top of me. It hurt so much." He glanced down at his shoes nerveously. 'This is it, I have to tell her.' He thought to himself. He looked back up into her eyes. "Because im in love with you Mione." There, he said it.
Hermione was stunned. She litterally could not utter a word. She just stood the gapping at him wondering if she had heard him right. Harry was in love with her? Is it possible that the words she had longed to hear for so long had finnaly been spoken? She yelled at herself to say something. To tell him that she loved him too. But it was as though her body and her mind were suddenly seperated.
Harry stood nervously watching, begging her to say something. But she didn't.
"Um, it's ok. I know this must be a shock. You dont have to say anything." He said trying to hide the dissapointment in his voice and failing. He turned and slowly started to make his way back across the grounds.
Hermione was finnally able to move again and ran to catch up with Harry.
"Harry wait!" she said as she grabbed his arm and turned him back around toward her.
Harry looked up at her with renewed hope.
"Harry, I..I love you to." She said looking him in the eyes blushing.
"Really?"
"Really." She smiled at him and he smiled back.
"How long have you known?" He asked.
"Well since forever I think. But I didn't really realize it until.." She was cut off by Harrys lips crashing into her own.
They stood there passionatly kissing while the rest of the world seemed to dissapear around them. Finnally they pulled apart because of the need of oxygen.
"Wow." Hermione said when she was able to think clearly again.
"Yeah." Harry said as they stared deep into each others eyes. Then Harry seemed to remember something.
"Mione, Will you go to the yule ball with me? Please?" Harry asked.
"Oh, I dont know.." Hermione teased.
"Pweeese." Harry begged with a puupy dog face.
"Oh alright." Hermione said laughing at him.
"Good." Harry smiled. Then joked, "Besides how could you resist?"
Hermione playfully slapped his arm at his fake cockyness. Although she knew it was true, She couldn't resist him.
"Well I guess we should probably get back inside before we get in trouble." Hermione said.
"Yeah, I guess." Harry reluctantly agreed.
They silently walked hand in hand back toward the castle.
"How did you know about the ball? They haven't anounced it yet." Hermione asked.
"You think you girls are the only ones who know anything? Actually you are most the time. How do you do that anyways?" Harry asked seeming puzzled. "Anyway, Ron told me. Parvati asked him earlier today."
"Oh really? Did he say yes?"
"Yeah...but he didn't seem as please as I would have thought."
"Hmm...that's weird. Oh well, you never know with Ron." Hermione said.
"Yeah."
They continued in silence until they were in the common room about to seperate at the stairs.
"Well, goodnight Hermione." Harry smiled and leaned over kissing her one more time.
"Good night." Hermione turned to walk up the stairs when Harry said something eles.
"By the way Hermione, your a great kisser."
