A/N: Thanx for all the reviews. I've changed the second chapter a bit, because of some reviews, so you should read that one again. Or else you don't quite understand. Well, here it goes chapter 3.

The London's Eye

Chapter 3: The London's Eye

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------

The next morning, during breakfast, Ron, Harry and Hermione were discussing where they could go that day. Ron and Hermione were bickering again, when Hermione turned desperately to Harry.

"Harry, what do you think? A museum or a casino? Honestly Ron, you're underaged. You don't go to a casino when you're underaged!!!" she said.

"I think we should go to SixFlags or something like that." Harry said.

"No, really, a museum would be - ... - wait? What did you say?"

"SixFlags ... I've never been to a theme park. Cause the Dursley's always dropped me with Mrs. Figgs, when they went to one. I'd really like to try it."

"Well, that settles it," Hermione said, "We are going to SixFlags."

"Hey, I've read something about the London's ... what was it ... Eye? Can we go there too?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, that'll be fun!"

"What's that? The London's Eye?" Harry asked.

"It's a Ferris wheel." Hermione explained. Then Mr. Granger walked in. "What? Did I hear that correctly?" he asked, "Something about heading to The London's Eye today?"

"Yeah dad, we're going to visit SixFlags and the London's Eye today!"

"Oh, that's sounds nice, I can drop you there if you like. I have an appointment in the near of SixFlags."

"Cool!" The trio said in unison.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------

Half an hour later, they were sitting in Mr. Granger's car. "So Hermione, tell me, what kind of theme park is SixFlags?" Ron asked, he was sitting in the passenger seat. So Harry and Hermione were sitting together on the backseat. "Well, you've got all kinds of rollercoaster's. There are dips and a lot of loopings. I wouldn't eat before you go in one, because then you're going to be sick, trust me." Harry tried not to laugh at the look on Ron's face. Hermione noticed this and smiled at Harry.

"Where here!" said Mr. Granger, "Well, have fun, you guys and see you tonight." They came out of the car and headed off towards the entrance.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------

Several hours later they walked out of the park. Ron was green and covered his mouth with his hand. "Hey HARRY, RON, HERMIONE!!!" someone was shouting. They turned around and saw Neville walking towards them.

"Hya Neville," Harry said, "What brings you here?"

"Oh, I was visiting the park with me gran." Harry noticed her for the first time, she was standing behind Neville. "Where are you goin'?"

"London's Eye..." Hermione said, "Like to join us?"

"Yeah, cool, is that ok with you, gran?" Neville turned towards his grandmother. "Yes, darling, I'll take a taxi home, have fun! And take care of yourselves, bye!"

So Ron, Neville, Harry and Hermione took the train to London. Neville was talking about everything he had done this holiday. Since no one was paying attention to Harry, he stole a look at Hermione. 'What is it with me these days?' he thought. He had been staring at her a couple of times this day and he had started to think different about Hermione ... he couldn't keep his eyes of her. He also felt a knot in his stomach every time he looked at her, he wondered what it meant. He had a clue ... but that couldn't be it ... he couldn't be falling for his best friend ... could he?

They reached the Ferris wheel and paid for their tickets. When they started to climb into one of the carts, a man said: "Sorry, children, there is only room for two people in one cart. You'll have to split up."

"Er – ok," Ron said, "Em ... Harry, Hermione, you go together. I'll go with Neville."

"Ok." Harry and Hermione entered the waiting cart. They were silent at first, until Hermione covered her face with her hands. Harry thought that she was crying, so he asked "Hermione, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm ... I'm just afraid of heights ..." The cart shocked a little and Hermione shrieked. She clung onto Harry's sleeve and started crying. "Hermione ..." stammered Harry. "Why didn't you say so? We could have stayed down." He put his arm around her shoulders, as he sat next to her, to comfort her.

"I don't know, I think I forgot." Hermione sobbed into his shoulder. (A/N: yeah right, how can you forget you're afraid of heights??? I dunno, maybe because Hermione only spent time to look at Harry??? giggle) "Oh, Harry, I'm so scared."

"Don't worry, Hermione, I'm here." Harry felt a shiver go down his spine, when he looked down at Hermione's hair. He bowed his head a little to breath in her scent. As the fresh scent filled his lungs, he knew he loved this girl. He loved her with all his heart.

"Thanks Harry." she whispered. She turned her head, so, that she was facing him. For the second time in two days, their eyes met ... emerald green met hazelnut brown. Harry felt that he was loosing himself into her beautiful eyes. Unaware to what he was doing, he lowered his head, closed his eyes and kissed Hermione full on the lips...

Hermione froze, he quickly pulled back. "Oh, I'm sorry, Hermione, I didn't mean to – " But he couldn't speak anymore. The reason? Hermione had cupped his face and had pressed her lips gently against his. Harry responded immediately, he locked his fingers in her back and pulled her closer (if that was possible). She soon began to suck his lower lip, begging him for entrance. Lips parted and the kiss deepened. Then it ended. Harry leaned his forehead against Hermione's and looked into her brown eyes.

"I love you, Hermione."

"I love you too, Harry"

If Hermione had been afraid, she wasn't anymore. All she ever dreamed of, was sitting next to her. Holding her in his arms.

And Harry? Harry had felt that the knot in his stomach had loosened, as he had kissed Hermione. He had never felt so happy. Now he knew for sure ...

This was going to be the best summer of his life ...
