Chapter 3 – The Aftermath

A/N: This chapter is longer than the others, but still kinda short. Thanks to all my reviewers! Please read and review!

        Two hours later Harry and Hermione lay on the bed, feeling exhausted. They had just finished and were both very tired. Although they had put a Silencing charm on the door, Harry was still afraid that one of the Weasley's would walk in on them, since they had both been missing for so long.

        All Harry wanted to do now was sleep, but he knew that they had already been missing for too long. With a groan, he sat up and started putting on his clothes. Hermione looked over, and seeing what he was doing, decided to do the same.

        "Not a word of this to anyone, alright?" Hermione said as she stood up, gave Harry a kiss, and then exited the room.

        Harry just sat there, staring after her until she disappeared down the stairs. He then got up, pulled on a shirt, put his glasses back on, and decided that he might as well go downstairs. With his hair looking slightly more rumpled than usual, he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

        Harry and Ron were getting ready to go to bed, when Run suddenly turned toward him and asked, "So where were you after breakfast? I remember you said you were going upstairs, but you didn't come back down for another three hours. You couldn't have written that long a letter. And Hermione was also upstairs, so what happened?"

        Harry didn't want to lie to Ron, but he also didn't want to tell the truth. Harry had told Ron about Cho, but shagging Hermione was completely different. She was both of their friends, and he didn't want Ron to get the wrong idea about him and Hermione.

        "Nothing happened. I wrote my letter, and then Hermione wanted to talk, so we did. But she made me promise not to tell what we talked about. She said that she doesn't want anyone else to know. And that's it," Harry finished lamely.

        "Oh, ok. Sure," Ron said.

        But how he said it told Harry that he didn't believe Harry's story. What was Harry supposed to say, "Oh, yeah. Me and Hermione snuck up here and shagged while all of you were downstairs. But we're all still best mates, same as always." That sounded so stupid to Harry, and he was sure that Ron wouldn't believe the last bit about them all still being best mates.

        Harry didn't want anything to change between the three of them, but it seemed that change was unavoidable at this point. You can't just go sleep with one of your best friends and not expect anything to change.

        Now Harry kind of even regretted what he had done. "Stupid git," he thought to himself. "Always thinking with your dick instead of your brain."

        Harry was also sure that now Hermione would treat their relationship differently. After all, she had lost her virginity to him. "I'll deal with it in the morning," Harry thought as he finally rolled over and went to sleep.
