Chapter 5: Loosing Interest

Hermione sighed as she saw Ron walk with Harry down the street. Do I really like Percy? Oh well, I'll think about that later. Hermione walked out of the shop and started down the street. She went into the Three Broomsticks and set her stuff down at a table. She went over to the bar table and got herself a butterbeer.

As she was walking back to her table she saw Ron and Harry sitting in the table next to hers. When Ron saw her he invited her to sit at his table. Hermione accepted, picked up her things and brought them to her new table. "Good evening," she said warmly, sitting next to Ron.

"You too," said Harry smiling.

Ron just nodded. While they were drinking they were in complete silence except for the sloshing of the water and the rustling of clothes. The silence was so uncomfortable that Ron tried to break the awkward silence by starting a conversation. "Hermione, are you going somewhere for Christmas?"

"Yes, actually I'm going skiing with my parents."

"What's skiing?"

"Skiing is a muggle sport," replied Harry.

"Oh, ok."

"It's getting late... we should get to bed..." said Hermione.

"Yeah..." said Ron.

"Err... Harry, you go ahead, we'll catch up with you in a moment," said Ron when they got outside.

"Ok. See ya in a bit!"

When Harry was out of ear shot Ron whispered, "I've been wanting to know... Do you still like Percy?"

Do I? No... yes. No. "No..."

"Ok good, well let's catch up with Harry he's waiting."

"Yes..."

Ron and Hermione ran to catch up with Harry. The three friends walked to the Gryffindor common room with out saying a single word. It was about 11 o'clock so no one was down in the common room.

"Good night!" said Harry.

"Good night," said Ron and Hermione together. Harry went up to the boy's dormitory, but Ron and Hermione stayed in the common room.

"Hermione..."

"Yes?"

"Did you lie to me earlier?"

"No..."

"Do you like me... for real?"

"Yes."

"If you really like me then kiss me... like you mean it."

Hermione gently grabbed his hands and put them on her waist and put her arms around his neck and kissed him. This kiss lasted about 2 minutes. Then she took her lips off his and said, "I love you."

She really does love me... thought Ron, his grip on her waist tightening slightly. He put his lips back on her and they kissed again. This time the kiss was more meaningful.

When they finished kissing they just stood there hugging. "A-a-choo!"

"Who was that?" asked Ron.

"It wasn't me..."

Ron walked to the stairs, looked up and saw Harry sitting on the stairs covering his mouth and nose looking at Ron. "Why you little..."

"Ron!"

"Sorry... How long have you been sitting there?"

Harry uncovered his mouth. "The whole time," said Harry smiling.

"How much did you see?"

"Everything." Harry's smile widening, Ron's anger rising.

"Don't tell anybody! You here me?"

"All right, all right!" Harry's smile was now ear to ear.

"Go to bed... and try and forget it ok?"

"Okay!" he said, laughing slightly to himself.

"Oh... I'm gunna kill him if he tells a single soul!"

"Calm down Ron. He's just trying to get on your nerves."

"You're right..."

"Let's go to bed, ok?"

"Ok."

Hermione walked over to Ron, kissed him on the cheek. "Good night."

"Good night."

Hermione walked up the stairs to the girls dormitory and Ron to the boys and they went to sleep.

Push that little blue button now!!
