Harry's Question
Here is the next installment in this story... it's longer than the prologue, so you should be satisfied! R&R peeps!
After much debating amongst himself and his subconscious, and a good nights- erm... sleep, Harry decided that if Ron was as good a friend as he thought, then he wouldn't mind if he asked Hermione out. Harry walked over to where she was talking with Ginny and Neville and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Um- hey, Hermione, can I talk to you a moment?" he asked, trying not to drool at the sight of her.
"Of course," she replied, walking with his toward the lake, "So what did you want to talk about, Harry?"
"It's about a girl I like," Harry said, trying not to make himself too obvious.
"Oh," said Hermione, disappointed, "Well, what about this girl?"
"I wanted to ask her to go to Hogsmeade with me- like on a date- but I don't know if she would to..." he said, kicking a rock into the lake.
"Why don't you just ask her and see what she says?" Hermione said.
"Because I don't want her to be mad..." Harry said, sighing and looking up at the sky.
"Why on earth would she be mad?" Hermione asked, exasperation in her voice.
"Because she just broke up with her boyfriend," Harry said.
"Who is this girl? And who cares if she broke up with her boyfriend? Ask anyways," Hermione said, raising her eyebrows.
"Her ex would care," Harry muttered.
"So?" Hermione said, placing her hands on her hips.
"Well," Harry said, "her ex just happens to be Ron."
"Ron and Lavender broke up?" Hermione asked, shocked.
"No!" Harry said, rolling his eyes.
"Oh," she said, then when she realization hit her like a brick, "Oh! You're talking about me, aren't you?" Her face lit up when he nodded.
"Yes," he said, "So will you go to Hogsmeade with me? If you say no I'll understand."
"Yes, Harry, I'll go with you. As your-" she paused, looking into his brilliant green eyes, "girlfriend," she said, blushing.
Harry grabbed her hand smiling. "Really?"
"Yes," Hermione said, returning his smile.
"Harry, Hermione! What are you guys doing out here? It's almost dinner time!" yelled Hagrid, coming toward them. They whirled around, letting go of their hands, to see a shocked Hagrid. "Just what is going on between you two?" he asked, pointing at them, indicating that he saw them holding hands.
"Harry's my new boyfriend, Hagrid," Hermione said.
"Ron's not going to like this, you guys," Hagrid said.
"So?" Harry and Hermione said at the same time. They laughed.
Hermione shrugged. "He's the one who broke up with me to go out with Lavender. And now I found someone new as well... who just happens to be Harry," she grinned at him, "And who I've liked since fourth year."
Harry grabbed her hand and began pulling her toward the castle. "We'd better get to dinner. See you later, Hagrid!"
Okay, so it wasn't as long as I thought it would be... srry. But it's longer than the first one, so it's all good. Well, the next one is seven pages on college ruled paper, no spaces, so it should be long. Review folks! Never forget to review!
