A/N Sorry it's taken so long to update. My writing program is on the fritz. Well, without furthur ado here it is...

The look Harry had given her sent chills down Hermione's spine.

She desperately wanted to know what he had been thinking. The look made her want to be with him. The look drove her to her weakest point.

Hermione wasn't sure if she wanted that.

At the end of the night she walked up to Harry.

This time it was Hermione who said, "we need to talk". He followed her out to a deserted balcony.

"Harry, this needs to stop. We can't tiptoe around it anymore. I know you have feelings for me, Harry. It's just that they're...too late. You're...too late. I don't have feelings for you anymore, Harry. I'm with someone else now. You have to accept that. You do, don't you, Harry?"

Did I just say all of that?

"Yeah, sure. I understand."

No. No, he didn't understand.

He was so sure that she like him.

He was so sure of that smile.

Hermione started to walk back into the Great Hall.

I can't let her slip away again.

"Hemione, wait! I forgot something!"

She gave him a puzzled look as he walked over to her.

"Ask her if she wants to stay awile"

Forgot something? What on --

Her thoughts were stopped as Harry pulled her in for a kiss.

All of their built up emotion exerted itself into this one kiss.

It was the answer to the problem.

It was what she had been looking for.

It was amazing.

It was perfect.

Harry slowly pulled himself away.

He stared intently into Hermione's amber eyes. She quickly looked away, a blush rising on her cheeks.

"I'm sorry I took so long to notice. Hermione, I like you, and I know you still like me. I want this to mean something to you."

She returned his gaze.

"Oh, Harry..."

"And she will be loved"
