AN: It's been a while...sorry 'bout that.
Harry dragged himself up the corridor, his eyelids drooping and his back aching.
"Ughh." he moaned, each step laboured as he forced his exhausted body to move.
Harry slowly made his way into his room that he shared with Hermione, his body demanding sleep.
"Harry James Potter!" a voice said sternly.
Harry looked at Hermione who was sitting on her bed, a stern look on her face matching her voice perfectly.
"What is it Hermione? I'm really tired." Harry asked wearily.
"I've heard how much trouble you got into today! Honestly Harry! You're head boy! Don't you think it's time you faced up to some responsibility? What sort of example do you think you're setting for the younger kids?" Hermione demanded.
"A tired one."
"That's not funny!" Hermione said angrily.
'Why is she yelling at me? It's her fault for distracting me...' Harry thought to himself but instead of retorting just sighed.
After a couple of minutes of tense silence Harry said, "Look I'm sorry alright? Today wasn't a good day for me, I couldn't do anything right. I'm not usually that bad and I think the younger ones have figured out already that if you don't do your work you get a detention. I merely reinforced that idea."
Hermiones face softened a little, "Bad day huh?" she asked.
Harry nodded, "You have no idea. I couldn't keep my mind on anything." 'Anything but you..'
Hermione stood up and walked over to him, wrapping her arms around him pulling him into a big hug. Harry smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist burying his face in her hair.
'I could stay like this forever.' he thought to himself.
Hermione drew back a little looking up at his face, "Are you al-" Hermione was cut off as Harrys finger moved to rest on her lips.
'What am I doing!?!?! Her...lips. They look so soft...they feel soft. If I just lean my head down I could-'
Harrys thoughts died down as he slowly tilted his head down towards hers. His heart beating quickly, pounding against his chest in excitement and nervousness. Harrys eyes were focused firmly on Hermiones lips. Her soft, enticing lips. His head tilted down a little more, his lips mere centimetres away from hers. Harry could feel her breath gently tickling across his face, his hand moving from her lips to her cupping her cheek. Harry leaned in a little closer, mere milimetres away now.
'Oh my god. He's going to kiss me!'
'Here goes..'
Harry gently pressed his lips against hers. Hermiones eyes fluttered shut and Harrys quickly followed. Hermiones arms slowly wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer. Harrys other arm wrapping around her waist, pressing her up against him. Moments later they pulled apart, gasping for air a little.
Harry's cheeks tinted with red, "Hermione...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that..I didn't mean to do it. I'm really sorry."
'But I'm not sorry...' Harry thought to himself, 'I enjoyed that...I've been wanting to do it all day. And now I have and it was the best thing ever.
Hermione looked down at the ground, "It's alright." she said in a quiet voice.
'He didn't want to kiss me. He doesn't like me...god I feel so stupid.' Hermione thought dejectedly.
Harry looked at the sad look on her face and bit his lip before blurting out, "No I'm not. I wanted to do that! I've been wanting to do that all day and I just didn't have the courage to do it before now. I AM sorry but I still wanted to." he said.
Hermione looked up at him through her long, dark eyelashes, "Harry?" she asked quietly before moving so she was on tip toes and gently pressed her lips agaisnt his. Harrys eyes widened in shock before they closed and he wrapped her arms around her again. Their lips pressed against each others and their thoughts were one.
'Thank god.'
Harry stretched as he climbed out of his bed, his cheeks turned red as he thought about his and Hermiones kisses the previous night. They'd stayed up for over an hour later, kissing and talking before Harry couldn't stay awake a moment longer and retreated to their own beds. Harrys eyes swept over Hermiones empty and neatly made bed. He strained his ears but couldn't hear any noises coming from the bathroom.
"Hmm guess she left early." he murmmurred to himself before going about his normal morning routine.
Down in the Great Hall Harry sat down beside Ron and Hermione.
"Morning Ron. Morning Hermione." Harry greeted them cheerfully but couldn't keep a small blush from rising to his cheeks as he talked to her.
"Hi." Hermione said in a quiet, shy voice.
"What's up with you this morning Hermione?" Ron asked raising an eyebrow, "You've been quiet all morning."
Hermiones cheeks turned a shade of pink, which Harry found quite amusing and at the same time beautiful, "Nothings wrong. Can't I be quiet?" she asked.
Ron grinned, "Well you can be quiet if you're not arguing with me. I won't deny you of that privelige."
"Privelige?" Hermione asked raising an eyebrow, her voice rising a little.
"Well yes," Ron said with a smirk, "I mean to argue with me is a privelige in itself."
"You are so full of yourself!" Hermione said glaring at him.
"Well at least I'm not a know-it-all." Ron shot back.
"I canNOT believe you!" Hermione said, her voice raising.
"Ugh. Here we go.." Harry said trailing off, rolling his eyes and looking down at his breakfast.
They ignored him.
"And why not? It's the truth! You're such a know-it-all!" Ron said.
"At least I know SOMETHING. At least my head isn't full of air." Hermione snapped.
"Well well someones in a bad mood today." Ron said angrily, "That time of the month huh? Well don't take it out on me! I was just joking around with you and you lost it for NO REASON."
"Guys maybe you should-" Harry interrupted but was cut off by Ron.
"Stay out of this Harry!" Ron said.
"At least he's trying. Not like you!" Hermione said before letting out an angry sigh and continuing her breakfast.
"This isn't finished." Ron said not ready to let her get the last say.
"Yes it is unless you want a detention for an unneccessary arguement." Professer Moody said walking past, giving Ron and Hermione a look before continuing to the teachers table.
"Gee thanks for getting me in trouble Ron." Hermione said sarcastically.
"Oh sure. No problem. Glad to be of help." Ron said just as sarcastic.
"You're such a prat."
"Oh get over yourself." Ron said with a roll of his eyes.
Harry gave them an uneasy look, "All finished?" he asked calmly.
Ron and Hermione glared at him.
"Alright then...guess I'll have to be the conversationist then." Harry said.
"So...Harry have a good evening?" Ron asked.
Harrys cheeks turned red, he glanced at Hermione before looking back at Ron who was waiting for an answer.
'Does he know?'
"Uhh..." Harry said trailing off and not answering the question.
"How as your detention?" Ron prompted.
"Oh! It was alright. Tiring." Harry said quickly.
His cheeks growing increasingly redder.
"Who did you have it with?" Ron asked.
"Hermione." Harry said, saying the first name that popped into his head.
"Hermione?"Ron asked confused.
Hermione turned crimson, Harry quickly followed her in turning red, "I mean Snape." he corrected.
"Riiiight." Ron said with a strange look to Harry before eating his breakfast.
'God I'm the biggest idiot.'
