A/N Another update! The next day! Yeah, I had to add in another chapter. I have a certain duty to entertain my readers. Read and review, please.

"Oh. Hi, Harry. I was in the Room of Requirement...you know, just thinking," Hermione whispered.

She hadn't expected to run into him at this time of night.

Harry glared at her for a moment, and Hermione thought he was about to tell her off.

Then his expression softened.

"We need to talk," was all he said.

They walked back into the Room of Requirement. It had formed into a replica of the Divination classroom. They quietly sat down. Neither of them spoke for a few minutes. Though, it was Harry who spoke first.

"You can know someone for years, but then again, do you really know them?"

Where did that come from?

Hermione stared intently at Harry. She wasn't used to him speaking this way. Of course, he's always been brilliant. It's just...well, it was unexpected.

Especially, since something so contradictory hadn't ever made so much sense to Hermione.

"I've had you so many times but somehow

I want more"

Harry gazed into her amber eyes.

The emotion inside them fascinated him. The desire that was there matched his own.

Without realizing it they had moved closer to each other.

They were breaths away when Hermione suddenly pulled back.

What was I thinking?

"It's late. I better go."

Hermione left before Harry had time to protest.

She knew it was a lame thing to say, but it was the best she could come up with. Her mind was racing. Hermione couldn't believe what had almost happened.

She couldn't believe that they had almost...kissed.

Hermione mentally searched for a reasonable explanation.

It was just a trick of the situation. Vulnerability. Harry really doesn't have feelings for me. It was just my imagination. Wasn't it?

Harry sat there dumbfounded several hours after Hermione had left.

We were so close...and I just let her slip away

A/N Well, I hope you liked it. At least enough to review. I won't wait too long for my next update. Have a nice day!
