A Nice Stroll—Or Not
Hermione followed Harry outside. The moon shone brightly in the velvet sky, its reflection turning the lake into a silver puddle. Harry and Hermione walked side by side near the lake, talking in quiet voices.
"So are you excited to be graduating," Harry asked looking at his feet as he walked. He hadn't noticed Hermione was ahead of him by a little.
"Yeah, but a bit lonely too. I'm sort of wondering what I'll do afterwards. I can't get a job in the muggle world since I didn't go to school there," Hermione replied. "What about you?"
Harry kicked a stone. "I was thinking of becoming an Auror."
"Wow, that's great. Maybe I'll be a Healer at St. Mungo's."
Harry looked up at the sky. Now was the perfect time to let her just how he felt about her. He was so busy thinking he didn't notice Hermione had stopped walking. Taking a deep breath, Harry began.
"Hermione—" he'd bumped right into her. Hermione gasped as she fell into the water.
Harry's eyes widened with shock. "Holy Crap! Hermione!" he jumped in after her. He grabbed hold of her and pulled her out. "I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"
Hermione spat out water as she stood up. "I'm okay," she replied. "That's cold."
Harry felt miserable. He couldn't believe his bad luck. He ran a hand through his hair, sighing.
"Come on," Hermione said. "Let's get dried up."
Harry watched her go. Shutting his eyes, he said in a loud whisper. "I love you."
She kept walking. Harry sighed. He ran after her. He just wished the bad luck would go away.
