Why Can't I Stop Myself

Chapter 2

Hermione found it harder to get back to sleep that night. Why did I act that way? Why did Ron all of a sudden look at me that way, and since when did he care if I was uncomfortable?

What was the funny feeling in my stomach when he looked at me? I'm just nervous about tomorrow, yeah that's what it is. She knew that it wasn't that at all but she didn't want to admit it. Hermione felt bad about the way that she had talked to Ron and would definitely apologise tomorrow.

The next day Hermione got up still tired, she absentmindedly dressed with particular care. Ginny Weasley was waiting for her outside her dormitory. Hermione and Ginny had become quite close in the last 5 years that they had known each other, she was sister that she never had and she was sure that Ginny felt the same way.

'Sleep well?' she asked Ginny. Ginny had been having some unpleasant dreams about her exam results. Hermione looked in the mirror and she looked like she hadn't got any sleep at all.

She nodded 'You?' she said gloomily, Ginny wasn't a morning person, most of the days that Hermione had spent at the Burrow Hermione had to practically drag Ginny out of bed every morning.

'Don't even go there' Hermione warned her.

'Why? What happened?' Ginny mocked her.

Hermione pulled her into the empty dormitory and closed the door behind her. 'You can't tell a soul' she threatened.

'What is it Hermione, it better not be another dream about Ron' she had a wicked smile on her face.

'What are you talking about?' Hermione looked as if she had been slapped.

'Well some stories have been travelling around, about you in your dreams yelling out Ron's name' She tried to get away knowing that it wouldn't be long until Hermione cracked it. But she stopped her.

'I keep having dreams about...... about.....' she wasn't looking at Ginny anymore because her face had just turned bright red again.

'About what?' Ginny prompted her.

'About the finally battle' she said to quickly 'and its really weird because in all the ones that I have Ron dies' she tried to make her voice sound convincing but she failed miserably.

Hermione looked up at Ginny hoping that she believed her story. But she didn't.

'I think that you two would make a lovely couple' Ginny was still smiling.

'But I don't like him!'

'Yep, sure thing'

'I'm going to be late for an exam' Hermione ran out the door, her face still red and her heart was beating very fast.

Do I really like Ron? NO off course I don't. I mean I like him as a friend but a friend ONLY! Besides she didn't want to do anything that would hurt their relationship as friends.

Hermione went down to the Great Hall by herself. As Harry and Ron had an early Quidditch Training session, and they had to get up at some ungodly hour this morning.

They were already sitting down at the Gryffindor table, doing anything but studying for the day's exam.

'Hey Hermione' Harry greeted her as she sat down.

Ron was talking to Dean about Quidditch What else in new? Hermione thought. He didn't say anything to her all breakfast.

Hermione buried herself behind her History of Magic book, so she could get out of Ginny's view. And no one thought anything about it, because it was the last day of exams and Hermione hadn't been doing anything else but studying for the last 3 months, let alone think about a certain red head.

Ron didn't say anything to her all morning. Hermione was majorly depressed, why doesn't he just say something GOD DARN IT!!

Their exam didn't start until 12 o'clock so the 6th years all went back into the common room to do some last minute study. This was when she caught Ron out.

Harry had gone up stairs to get his books, so Ron and Hermione were left alone in the common room.

There was a slight murmur in the common room, as some were studying quietly and others were testing them self's. Ron was reading through the notes that he had copied from Hermione.

'Ron?' Hermione voice was calm. He didn't look up 'Ron!, please' this time her voice was shaky. Ron must have noticed because he looked up. 'Ron, I'm, I'm sorry about what happened last night' though she was telling the truth she couldn't look at him, not now. 'I didn't mean it.'

There was a pause.

'Hermione......' he started but then thought better of it 'I'm sorry too'

'But you didn't do anything!' Hermione's voice was now very wobbly.

Another pause.

'Look at me' she wanted to she really did, but she wouldn't be able to refrain her self if she did. 'Look at ME!' he said louder, but this time he lifted her chin with two fingers. They were so close that Hermione could feel his warm breath on her neck. She felt her knees start to wobble.

She had done it now! She couldn't draw herself away from that heavenly face. She felt herself start to melt away; she never wanted this moment to ever end. He was moving closer to her, but she couldn't pull away, She didn't want to pull away. He's going to kiss me she thought, as he moved even closer still.

'UUUMM' Harry's voice suddenly brought them back down to earth. And Ron pulled away and Hermione felt a pang.

'Sorry to bother you in this romantic moment but the exam starts in 5 minutes' He was smiling.

As they walked down to the great hall Hermione didn't say anything. She was still thinking about what had happened in the common room just moments ago. He was going to kiss me was all that she could think of.
