Sixth Plea

Tears poured into Hermione's trembling hands

As Harry watched her run form the party.

Harry knew that she would not understand

The reason he had kissed Ginny deeply.

"You told me to play along remember?"

"Yes," she replied, "but you haven't kissed me

That passionately since last September."

He thought a moment, then started his plea.

"I've told you before that I only love

You, Hermione, and I don't know how to

Prove it to you again, but I thought of

It, and I'm still here aren't I, next to you?"

He held her tight, and wouldn't let her go,

And kissed her long and hard, so she would know.
