A/N: Thank you to my reviewers, I keep writing for you!!! Please read and review, tell me if you have any suggestions, comments, etc. Thank you!!!
Harry woke up the next morning hoping that the previous day had just been a dream. But when he went downstairs to breakfast and Hermione winked at him, he was pretty sure that it hadn't been. Harry just smiled back at her and took a seat at the table.
After breakfast Harry decided to go take a walk to the fields nearby the Weasley's house. He was half way there when someone came up behind him and wrapped their arms around his waist. Turning around, Harry saw Hermione standing there beaming at him.
"Hey Hermione," he slowly said, forcing himself to smile.
"Where ya going?" she asked, still smiling at him.
"Over to that field," Harry said pointing vaguely in the distance.
"Ok," Hermione said with a smile as she took Harry's hand in hers.
Harry wasn't so sure about the whole holding hands thing, but he also didn't want to make Hermione mad. So he just kept holding her hand as he slowly made his way up one of the many hills that surrounded the distant fields.
When they finally reached their destination, Hermione flopped down onto the grass, taking Harry with her. As soon as they were both lying on their backs, Hermione turned to him.
"I'm so glad that we're together now. Who knew that you've also liked me all this time," she said while slowly reaching over and gently kissing Harry.
"Yeah…" Harry replied, his voice trailing off.
The truth was that he didn't know exactly what to say to Hermione. Sure he liked her as a friend, but more than that? Just that thought alone was enough to made Harry want to crawl into a hole and never come out.
They lay there for quite a while, just looking up at the sky, Hermione occasionally turning to look a t Harry. But Harry didn't even notice this; he was too deep in thought.
Then he thought of a plan…he would go along with Hermione, and then at the beginning of the school year, break up with her. That way, he thought, Ron can still go out with her after we "break up."
To Harry this plan was foolproof, but time would prove that this was not so.
Sorry for the short chapter, this one is just a filler one. I promise a good, long chapter as soon as I think of things to put in it!! Have any ideas??? Put them in your reviews, or e-mail them to me at tomishott8yahoo.com. Thank you!!!
