Chapter 2: Don't Blush!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Ron!" Harry yelled, anger peeking through his voice. "Look what happened!" He shouted at Ron while running to Hermione, who was trying to stand up while soothing her stomach with her small hands and a pained expression on her face. Her breathing became shallow and Harry tried to pick her up to carry her back to the compartment.
"Harry I can walk." She snapped angrily as she was slowly walking back to where they sat, but a few steps she took and almost fell again, this time in Draco's arms and with a huge smirk on his face he said:
"Looks like you — like every other girl — just can't keep their hands off of me." Hermione glared at the lunacy of a statement he had just made. Draco just gladly took her in his arms tighter, pressuring her stomach even more.
"Let her go Malfoy!" Harry yelled and he went to scoop Hermione up effortlessly against her will and into his strong arms. Hermione again placed her palms on her stomach trying to ease the pain away.
"Get the hell out of here Malfoy!" Ron yelled when he was growing tired of the way Draco was looking at them, (Hermione in particular.) And with that Malfoy calmly said:
"Watch it Weasel. I wasn't the one who practically landed the mudblood in the infirmary."
"Get out!" shouted both Harry and Ron, and with one last smirk Draco left.
Harry put Hermione in a sitting position on the seat.
"Hermione are you ok?" Asked Harry ever so gently placing his large hand on top of Hermione's while she was still rubbing her stomach. Hermione looked at him in disgust and shoved his hand away from her.
"Hermione I'm sorry," he said.
"Hermione it's my fault. I was the one who hit you." Apologized Ron and quickly added "accidentally."
"No. It was I. Ron and me were having a duel and I hit him with the jontly hex." A pause. "Hermione don't look at us like that. We are really sorry." Said Harry. Sincerity oozing out of his brilliant emerald eyes as Ron violently shook his head 'yes.' In her mind Hermione forgave them a long time ago, but was still mad at their immaturity. So she smiled at them and they shyly smiled back, no doubt still feeling very guilty. She quickly forgave them aloud, so she could concentrate on the blow that almost knocked her out flat.
Hermione stayed sitting there in the same position for about an hour, as her and her friends ate candy and chatted freely about everything, until she felt the need to go and change into her school uniform.
"We're almost there. I'm going to go change. Ok." She said and left them to do the same.
She walked into the bathroom and started to undress. She took of her hip hugger jeans and put on her black uniform skirt and her maryjane shoes. Then she removed her plushy winter white sweater and gasped at the huge bruise that came from Ron's huge foot.
She looked at the mirror that held her reflection and smirked lightly. It didn't really matter or bother her, for she knew her friends would never hurt her purposely and they were seriously sorry. Then she smirked even more when she remembered how childish the two boys she cared most about in school, and in her life, except maybe her own father, acted. But a little faint voice in her head said:
'They aren't boys anymore. Especially Harry, you know he's grown so much, he's no longer a little boy but a brave...well he was always brave but now he's also a considerate and loving man and if you need physical evidence (that he, in fact, has grown up) haven't you noticed he's almost a foot taller then you, Hermione, and those big strong arms that carried you to the compartment.' The voice steadily grew louder, as the room temperature grew warmer. 'And don't tell me you didn't feel his hard muscular chest when you whimpered in his neck. I know you're used to having Ron look like the 'man' out of your friends because he was always taller but you have to consider Harry now, for both of them are about 6' 3" and have the bodies of six years' worth of Quidditch. Plus. Didn't you see the way he looked at you when you hugged him...both times...yes you did notice. You can't lie to yourself.'
The voice steadily grew louder, as the room temperature grew warmer.Hermione pondered the voice in her head as she finished getting dressed. And yes she was starting to get attracted to Harry, but couldn't for he was her best friend. Then the voice came back and said, 'that doesn't matter! If you were his girlfriend, your bond would be greater. You know you'd like to be closer to him. You were close to Viktor, but that quickly faded. You know this can last. Besides you were not as close to Viktor as you would of wanted to be and you never even kissed him, because he was too much of a gentleman to come near you. You did like feeling important to a man. You loved feeling important to Viktor and you loved the way he treated you and all the gifts he gave you. You'd like a real first relationship. You've known Harry for so long. And he's so handsome.' She blushed at what her head was telling her. Then a knock on the door came that made Hermione jump out of her reverie like thunder.
"Hermione are you in there?" Asked Harry's voice. Hermione moved to answer it because she noticed that Harry's tone sounded worried.
When she opened the door Harry saw her little face looked flushed and a tad bit sweaty. Then he flushed crimson when a thought (He just could not avoid) struck him like thunder. (The same fast lightning that pulled Hermione out of her thoughts.) He looked at her, her cheeks red and thought of another time he could have her looking flushed and sweaty like that...he smiled at her, but more to his thought. A second later thinking that yes that could happen...in another lifetime, perhaps. His smile quickly vanished.
"Er, yes. I was just washing my hands."
"Oh. Good. I was just wondering what was taking you so long. Ron thought Malfoy could of come back or something." Harry retorted, leading her back to the compartment.
