Disclaimers-All of this wonderful work belongs to J.K. Rowling except for my measly plot and the character Lonnie Cray.

Authors Note: Everyone who read my story and reviewedi would like to thank you guys so much, I really apperciate it. I am so sorry it took me so long to post a second chapter I had no inspiration what so ever. I must admit this chapter is really short and it was kind of written on a spur so don't expect TOO much from me, enjoy!

Hermione began to get very nervous about the idea of meeting Cray, they barely even knew each other. When she had ran into him in the hallway earlier that day, it was practically the first time they met as they never had spoken more than three words to each other since the school year had began. Hermione was beginning to wonder if this was a bad idea and if she should tell Harry to take her back to the common room. Hermione's hand began to tremble as she and Harry made their way towards the the great hall. Harry squeezed her hand softly and smiled.

"Hermy, everything is going to be fine. You look great"

Hermione was able to smile lightly but began to become stiff as she saw Cray in his elegant Ravenclaw robes leaned up against the wall next to the door of the Dining Hall. He was looking down at something but sensed her presence and turned, smiling brightly at her. There was a dead rose in his hand. He turned towards Harry's direction and frowned slightly at him.

"Hi, Hermione. You look very beautiful tonight."

"Uh, thank you Cray, that's very sweet of you," Hermione said. Cray was still staring at Harry and his fingers intertwined with those of Hermione's.

"Um, Cray have you met Harry Potter, he is one of my best friends, he offered to walk me down from the common room."

Cray slightly relieved said, "Yes, no need for introductions. I've heard alot about Harry. Nice to meet you Harry, I'm Lonnie Cray."

Harry let go of Hermione's hand in order to shake Cray's hand and Cray smiled when he realized what hand he had stuck out lazily for Harry to shake. Harry then left the two and went inside the Great Hall.

Cray smiled at Hermione, "Well you know, we don't have to go to dinner right away, I was thinking of taking a walk on the grounds before curfew."

Hermione gasped sarcastically, "What's this? I guy willing to miss supper for lil ol' me," she pointed at herself as if he was talking to someone else than smiled.

Cray laughed at this and reached for her hand and took it into his making sure everyone of her fingers intertwined with his like a piece of carefully woven lace. Hermione stiffened a little but calmed down when they began their walk on the grounds. There were still several students stillon the grounds and a lot of them turned to look at the new couple as they made their way to a nice cozyspot under a willow tree right near the lake, This whole time they had walked in silence and as if it was planned sat down side by side under the willow .

"It's um really nice outside today, huh." Hermione said nervously to break the silence.

"Yes, it's beautiful." Lonnie replied. "Do you want to see a trick?"

"Sure."

Lonnie took the withered rose that had been in his other hand and then drew his wand. He whispered something so softly that not even Hermione could hear it spoken and slowly the rose came back to life. The stem turned a summer green and the flower turned a dark, deep lusty color of red. He handed it to her and smiled.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Hermione said stunned she, herself didn't know the curse he used to restore the rose.

"Yes," Lonnie said. "Just like you, amazing and beautiful."

Hermione blushed and a rosy reddish color flushed across her face. Cray smiled.

"Well," he said. "You finally got me too say it, your beauty just amazes me."

She didn't know if he was teasing or serious. She hated not being able to decipher one's emotions. A leaf flew into Hermione's hair and as she reached up to remove it she realized Cray was about to take it out as well and their hands touched, Hermione became a deeper shade of red and let go of Lonnie's hand. Lonnie bent over to remove the leaf and his lips came so close to her cheek that they softly brushed against each other. Hermione was very melancholy. She loved the feeling but didn't know what she would do if...and thats when it happened.

Lonnie backed away slightly but she could still feel the warmth of his leg pressed against hers. Lonnie turned Hermione's face to face his own and he brought her lips closer to his by lightly pulling her in by her chin. He kissed her soft at first, playing around lightly with her tongue and she kissed back. Then he kissed her more deeply, he pulled her so close that most of her body was on his lap. Lonnie wrapped his arms across her waist and Hermione put her arms around his neck. He pulled her in so that their whole bodies were pressed against each other amd he deepened kiss. It was hard and passionate, Hermione whimpered softly as lust began to fufill her, she tried to push him away but Cray would not stop so she pushed more fiercly. Lonnie surprised at the turn of events stopped kissing her and stared at her.

Tears had began to fall down her cheeks and she huddled herself in a ball and whimpered 'I'm not ready' to him over and over again. Cray feeling awful about what had just happened pulled her close and hugged her softly kissing her head and saying I'm sorry. He couldn't believe he let himself get that out of control on their first date, he didn't even feel right touching her. When Hermione had settled down Cray walked her to her common room and kissed her lightly on the cheek and then almost ran towards his common room, leaving her there in a daze.
