Chapter Twelve – It's Raining

"Um…" Hermione frowned with concentration. "Last night you said I was… Well you said a lot of things."

"I said you were beautiful and smart," Harry said softly.

"Yes," Hermione nodded. "Smart, but—" a raindrop fell on her nose.

Harry looked up as a raindrop fell on his glasses. "It's going to rain," he said absent-mindedly.

"Hmm… Okay, look Harry, you were wrong about me being smart."

Harry was now looking at her. Hermione's brown eyes met his green ones. His heart skipped a beat. The rain was falling slightly faster.

"You see Harry," Hermione continued, "I'm not as smart as you think I am. If… If I was smart, I would've never… I wouldn't have said no."

Harry didn't know whether to smile or not. Harry could only nod. They sat in silence for what seemed like a like time before any of them said another word.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is," Hermione finally spoke. The rain was pouring harder. So hard it was beginning to emit sounds from the roof. She nervously ran a hand through her wet hair.

"I want… I want you…" she trailed off.

"What?" Harry asked.

"I want you to give me the privilege you were asking of me last night," Hermione closed her eyes.

Now the rain was pouring down but neither of them made to move. Harry had his face upturned toward the sky, his eyes closed, letting the rain pour down on him. Hermione stared at him.

Oh come on, she thought desperately. She now knew how Harry had felt last night. The anticipation of waiting for an answer was terrible. Say something, anything! When she turned to face him, he was very close to her. He was gazing into her eyes. Hermione found herself breathless.

Before she could ask him what he was doing, he leaned closer; his lips were now only inches away. She watched as a raindrop ran down the bridge of his nose and fall off.

Harry, still gazing into her eyes, pushed a strand of her hair away from her eyes and cupped her chin. He leaned closer, his lips finally meeting her trembling ones. Hermione slid her arms around him, pulling him closer to her as she returned the kiss. They were soaking wet now, but they didn't care. After a long passionate kiss, Harry pulled away.

"Well," Hermione said, her heart pounding and panting for breath. "Say something, Harry." She was afraid he'd do what she'd done.

Harry simply smiled. "It's raining."

Hermione smiled and shook her head. She rested her head on his shoulder. "Yes, it is raining."

Inside the spare room, Ron stood by the window. He was now grinning from ear to ear. He felt like he'd just watched a movie. First he was worried, then he saw the kiss and he knew everything was going to be okay. Unable to contain his happiness Ron danced out of the room. He'd done it. He'd gotten them together.

"And to think they were worried about me," Ron smirked. "They've no clue I've already got myself a girlfriend, hehe." Still dancing, Ron approached the stairs and accidentally fell. It didn't matter to him. His best friends were happy and so was he. Regardless of the pain, he stood and continued to dance on.
