They reached the door, and Harry pushed it open. Hermione looked around, it had been a few years since she'd been here last. There weren't many noticeable changes, there was a new West Ham football poster pinned on the wall, and the Gryffindor boys seemed to have had as much trouble as the girls in deciding what to wear that night. In fact, the largest pile of crumpled clothes was at the foot of Harry's bed. Hermione smirked slightly, then waved her wand and the clothes flew into his trunk.

"Thanks", she heard him murmur indistinctly. She saw him wander over to his four-poster bed and collapse on it. She followed him and sat next to his head. She couldn't help herself, she started playing with his hair. He looked up at her and smiled vaguely. Hermione's heart leapt. She loved his smile, and the way it always made her day seem better when she saw it. He rolled to the other side of the bed and Hermione took it as her cue to lie down next to him.

"Big night hey?" She asked jokingly.

"You could say that", he replied tiredly. His sparkling green eyes closed. Suddenly, Hermione couldn't help herself.

"Do you love her?" Harry seemed to have been expecting something like this.

"Don't Herm. I honestly don't know how I feel about her at the moment. A display like tonight makes me wonder yet again if she's only using me for sex." Hermione's heart dropped. So they had been sleeping together. But then, she had always suspected it.

"Ok, I won't. I just like spending time with you and seems like we're doing less and less of that since she's been in the picture."

"Yeah." She thought he seemed likely to fall asleep.

"But I really like this, you know, just me and you, talking." His eyes opened slowly and he looked at her. In the moonlight, she could see his body shift closer.

"I miss you too Hermione. But Parvati's a good girl, I know she doesn't treat me like this on purpose."

"I know, I know." Hermione moved her body in closer towards Harry's. She quivered at being this close to him, on the same bed as him. Her breath caught in her throat as she leaned in slightly, reaching up gently to caress his cheek. She slid her hand down his jaw, down the side of his neck and rested it on his shoulder.

"Hermione…" Harry murmured. Hermione paused, unsure what he meant. Her unspoken question was answered when Harry leant in and pressed his lips against hers. Hermione felt like she was on fire. She felt it through her entire body as his arm curled around her waist, his body moving in to press against hers. His hand gripped the other side of her hip, pulling her even tighter. Hermione expelled a small gasp as Harry parted her lips deftly with his own, and slipped his tongue in, swirling it around. There was no fight for dominance; Harry was in control.

A half-roll placed him on top of her. He brushed her long hair from the side of her face. "Fuck, you're beautiful." Hermione melted. Tingles flowed through her body, starting from her feet and making their way through her entire body, making her light-headed. She relaxed and sunk into the mattress as Harry kissed a trail down her jaw line and down her neck. One hand still grasping her hip, Harry slowly moved the other up her side, and pulled the strap of her top down, revealing her naked breast. Passionately, Harry attached his mouth to her tender nipple, licking and sucking, causing Hermione to moan aloud.

Hermione's hands seemed to have a mind of their own. Tracing a zigzag down Harry's front, she unbuckled his pants without registering it. She still felt extremely drunk, and barely realized all the things she was doing. Her hands found what they were looking for, and she began stroking his shaft, slowly but steadily. Harry moaned into her mouth as he kissed her roughly. Hermione felt a pressure on the top of her head. She didn't know what was going on but she wanted to keep kissing Harry. The pressure increased and Hermione felt her head sliding down the bed.

Before she knew it she was face to face with Harry's crotch. She felt him slide into her mouth and the automatic response of her lips closing around his throbbing cock. He grasped her hand and wrapped it around the remainder of his shaft as her tongue swirled around the head. She felt his body convulse as he came. Quickly returning to kiss him, she laughed silently at the thought of Harry tasting himself. Her broke the kiss, not to murmur sweet nothings, but to make an off-hand remark.

"Not bad for your first time." She could almost feel his smirk in the darkness. How the hell does he know? She wondered. It must have been obvious she decided.

They lay entangled for a time, kissing roughly, Harry's hands barely leaving her ample chest. Hermione was confused. He'd seemed so tender at first, but now it was beginning to seem as though Harry was after one thing. She realised she hadn't heard him say her name for a long time. Hermione froze as she wondered whether Harry was replacing her with Parvati in his mind.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"What? Oh nothing." She answered, a little too quickly. She decided it was time to take things up a notch and rolled Harry onto his back. She clambered atop him, leaning down to kiss him as she ground her hips against his. She could feel him growing hard again, which she took as a cue. This is it Hermione steadied her voice. Sitting up, she straddled him and staring into the darkness where she knew his face was, she just couldn't see it.

"Hey Harry…?" She immediately felt stupid but thought she'd started saying it she had to continue.

"Mmm?" he mumbled. Hermione's brain locked up but she knew she had to say it. She couldn't back out now. It might be her only chance to do this, lose her virginity to the guy she's been in love with for the past two and a half years.

"Um Harry? Do you wanna… you know…" she couldn't bring herself to say it. He seemed slightly taken aback, but didn't seem to be overly surprised.

"Are you sure Hermione? You're sure you want your first time to be with a guy like me?"

"Harry, I have always wanted my first time to be with you."

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

"You're sure?"

"Positive."

"Ok, I'll get a condom."
