Ron watched as Hermione quickly left the infirmary.
"Did what I think just happen actually happen?"
Ron relived every second between he and Hermione he realized that they had indeed kissed. The moment was like a dream Ron remembered thinking how beautiful Hermione was. It was like he had no control over his emotions it was similar to being under the Imperius Curse but better because there was no doubt that his actions were his own.
"I did kiss her," smiled Ron as he placed his hands behind his head and leaned back, "I guess there was nothing to that dream after all."
"Don't be so sure about that," warned Pessimism, "Did you see how fast she got out of here? That can't be good."
"Well, it's a little late to take things back," dismally thought Ron, "what if I act like it never happened? Maybe things can go on as if we've never kissed."
When the door to the infirmary closed behind her Hermione let out a sigh.
"What just happened in there?" breathed Hermione.
"Nothing absolutely nothing!" declared Hermione's nerves.
"I'm not going to think about what just happened. In fact nothing happened at all," decided Hermione as she headed for the Gryffindor tower.
Hermione had to keep coaxing herself into believing nothing happened the entire way to the tower. By the time Hermione reached the Gryffindor Common Room she had had enough, "There's no use denying it we kissed and that's all there is too it!"
Hermione stood there in the empty Common Room as she relived the wonderful moment that was their first kiss. Hermione even giggled for a moment surprising herself. Hermione then quickly rushed up to the dorm room and sealed herself behind the curtains of her bed as she wrote in her journal what had just happened.
Hermione slipped in and out of consciousness. She could hear a faint thudding sound in what seemed like the distance, it was just on the other side of full consciousness.
"Hermione open up in there! You can't sleep all day!" came a muffled cry, which was obviously Parvati. Hermione became fully conscious and realized that she must have drifted to sleep while journalizing. She quickly mumbled the spell to conceal the word of her journal and then unsealed the curtains.
"I'm up," answered Hermione to Parvati's cries.
"Finally," remarked Lavender, "we thought you had died in there."
"Sorry," answered Hermione as she stood up.
"Where were you last night?" asked Parvati, "We noticed that you weren't up here at cerfew.
"I was in the infirmary," answered Hermione as she combed her hair.
"What were you doing in there?" demanded Lavender.
"Madame Pomphrey wanted some one to sit with Ron incase he came too."
"So how is he?" asked Parvati with slight disinterest.
"Fine he should be out of the infirmary soon."
"Well, we'd better get to breakfast," remarked Lavender as she and Parvati left the dorm room, "We'll see you around."
Hermione finished getting ready and joined Harry at breakfast.
"I thought you were supposed to be with Ron," questioned Harry/
"He came too last night," explained Hermione as a group of Slytherins cam in singing:
Weasley cannot save a thing,
He cannot block a single ring,
That's why Slytherins all sing:
Weasley is our King.
"I can't believe it!" cried Hermione in frustration as she stormed out of the Great Hall leaving breakfast behind and forgotten. Harry quickly followed Hermione out.
"The nerve!" breathed Hermione as she paced the Main Hall.
"Hermione, breath," instructed Harry trying to calm Hermione down, "I'm sure it'll all die down."
"Sure," sarcastically agreed Hermione as she calmed down a bit.
