Harry and Hermione walked down the streets of London looking for an ice cream shop when finally they found a small one, desolate from the rest of the city.

Two junior size cups of chocolate with M&M's later they were walking around outside enjoying the ice cream and each other's company.

Tell me something about yourself, Hermione said out of nowhere.

If he was going to get her to fall in love with him he had to think quick, so he turned on the charm, I think you're very beautiful, he said.

Hermione looked at him and grinned, You're good, she laughed. Mr. Smooth.

He laughed and looked at her, I'm serious.You sure know how to flatter a girl, she licked her lips.

He laughed again then said, Tell me something about you. she bit her lip. I'm deathly afraid of sharks and asylums... he said.

Yeah you don't have to tell me I'm a weirdo, she joked.

No, I agree man-eating fish are pretty scary... And I guess a place with a bunch of... people locked up for being nutters is pretty scary too, he laughed.

She hit his chest playfully, Don't make fun of me!I wasn't! he put his hands up defensively and laughed.

Yeah right, she said sarcastically.

Then as they came up to a large brick apartment building she stopped.

This is me, she said, gesturing toward the building.

Oh right, he replied disappointedly, looking up at the building.

Hermione thought, she had to hook him in then lose him... How could she hook him in?

Think, QUICK! she panicked inwardly then went to work.

Guys. What hooks them in? What do they like?

she shouted.

Harry's face broken into an awkward grin and he laughed, I mean, she gulped. What I meant was, would you like to come in for some... coffee? she stuttered.

he questioned. Sure, I love coffee.

Hermione took a deep breath and walked into the building with Harry following closely behind.

As they waited for the lift Hermione fiddled with the hem of her shirt.

You know what, Harry began, sensing the tension in the air. I think I'll head home. Hermione said, half relieved, half disappointed. So soon?Yeah, I have a big meeting tomorrow I don't want to be up all night...

Hermione looked at him with wide eyes.

You know because of coffee... Caffeine! I mean, he scrunched up his face in embarassment.

Hermione laughed, It was nice meeting you, he said heading for the door.

Will I see you again? Hermione asked quickly.

Count on it, he grinned and disappeared outside.

She let out a thick sigh and headed into the lift.
...

As Harry walked down the street, heading back to his flat he heard a muffled melody drifting from his pocket.

He quickly dug into his pocket and took out his mobile phone, he opened it and put it to his ear, Did you get her? Neville's eager voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

Harry laughed, I think so Neville.Are you with her? he asked quickly.

No, I dropped her off at her flat-That's good! Good thinking! Love is not a one-nighter! Love is commitment and time, and if you're going to make her fall in love with you you can't just jump into bed with her, she'll think tha- Harry shouted.

he asked, a little startled.

I know how to handle it, thanks anyway, he shook his head.

Oh right! Of course, it's just you lost all the other woma- he growled.

Right! Sorry! Shutting up.Thank you.When are you gonna see her again? he asked, the eagerness oh too evident in his voice.

Hopefully soon, he sighed. Neville if you really need to know everything about it I'll tell you every single detail tomorrow, sound good?Yes! I mean- yeah whatever cool, he finished casually.

Harry laughed again, See you tomorrow Neville.
...

Then what! Lavendar shrieked over the phone.

Hermione laughed and opened her medicine cabinet, Then we walked around aimlessly for awhile romantic sigh from the other side of the phone and then he dropped me off.

Another sigh.

That's so sweet, he didn't even think about getting into bed with you.How do you know? Hermione asked, Just because he didn't do it, he could've been thinking about it! she picked up a bottle of cough medicine.

Yeah I guess, silence.

Do you think he's actually gonna try to see me again? Hermione asked, throwing the bottle into a wastebasket.

Yes! He didn't sleep with you, obviously he's into a relationship not based on physical desires-Oh shut up! Hermione shook her head. What would you know? she asked jokingly, taking out of a tube of diaper cream, she looked at it with her eyebrows knotted.

A lot! she said sternly. Think about it, why would he take you out for ice cream? Just to pay for a rinky-dink scoop of ice cream for some stran-Why the hell do I have diaper rash cream! Hermione shouted, obviously not paying attention.

Lavendar shouted.

Hermione asked, shaken back into reality.

Focus for five minutes please. Can we agree he wouldn't just take you out for ice cream for the fun of it, would he? she answered, throwing the tube into the garbage.

So obviously he's going to talk to you again because he didn't get any s-I catch your drift! Hermione stopped her.

And if he doesn't try to talk to you again, well, we'll track him down. Hermione said. Until then I'm gonna go and clean out this medicince cabinet, talk to you tomorrow.Okay, have fun! Bye bye.
