Girl Help
Chapter 3: The Kiss
He was kissing her. Oh god! She could feel Harry's tongue run over her lips, and she opened them slightly, shuddering as Harry's tongue slid into her mouth and she felt it on both of her lips. She laced her fingers through his hair as he pulled her closer. They had been moving, because Hermione's back hit the wall, and Harry ran his hands up and down her body.
Hermione froze. 'Wasn't it just minutes before he was kissing Ginny?'
Hermione pushed Harry away, ignoring the tingling feeling from Harry sliding his tongue back out of her mouth. Her face was confused looking, and her arms crossed again. Harry looked down.
"What's wrong with you?" She demanded.
"You leave me at Hogsmeade--"
"No, you left me! To go cavorting around with Dean and Seamus!" Harry accused.
"Harry, I didn't. You saw them; they practically snatched me away. And then I went to find you, and find out about something going on between you and Ginny. And then, you kiss me!"
"How can you claim that Ginny doesn't understand about your feelings, and you imply that you have feelings for me, when you had only kissed her about only a few minutes ago!"
"Hermione, I do have feelings for you." He said softly, looking up.
"Then why did you kiss Ginny? I'm not one to be used, Harry. So don't even talk to me about it!" She said, watching as his mouth opened, and she stormed away. This time, she was sure he wouldn't find her.
--
Ginny sniffled. She wasn't going to make Hermione's life horrible. The way Harry kissed her, it was way longer and passionate than he had responded to her. She just wanted him to love her... That wasn't too much! Ron was supposed to care about Hermione, and she could have Harry to herself. Even if Ron had taken Hermione, Harry would still love her.
A tear dripped down her cheek. 'I swear from this day forward, that Harry will be mine, at all costs.'
--
Ron smiled at Parvati. He looked up, as he kept catching her gaze. She stopped.
"Ron, are you--"
"Parvati, I have--" They blushed. Ron spoke.
"Parvati, I have something to say." She smiled, and watched him as he continued. But he looked up and met her eyes.
"I really like you, a lot. And today, I was so nervous that you wouldn't like me at all. But it seems like that I'm not a bad person."
"And I really, really want to be a great person. And I can't be that way--" He squeezed her hand.
"--without you."
"Will you be my--" Parvati almost popped his head off with a hug. She wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on her tiptoes as she hugged him.
"Ron..."
"I just wanted to know if you were actually serious about me...And it seems so. Yes." She said, kissing him softly on the lips.
--
Hermione sat at the edge of the lake. Her legs were drawn up to her chest, and her head lay on her knees. Rustling was heard behind her, but she didn't care. She didn't want to be caught in the middle of a disastrous relationship. She had already see outcomes of those, and they didn't look too pretty. She sighed. She hoped if Ginny had heard about Harry kissing her, that she would ask her about it.
Footsteps walked towards her as Hermione stood up. From a few feet away, she could recognize Ginny anywhere. She waited until Ginny walked up to open her mouth. But instead, Ginny slapped her.
--
"How could you! You knew I liked Harry, and I find you kissing him? What kind of friend are you!" Hermione turned her head back, still in shock.
"Ginny, I swear, I don't have feelings for Harry." 'Pang.'
"He kissed me, and he told me that you don't understand how he feels. Ginny, I would never do that to you. You have to talk to Harry about this..."
"I don't get it!" She screamed at Hermione, pulling at her strands of red hair. "I don't understand what he likes about you."
"You're not overly beautiful, you're boring, why does he like you so much! Do you even notice? No! You go off with Dean and Seamus and flirt with them, while he acts all upset."
"Oh yeah, I did see him yesterday. Even though it was just me, all I heard was 'Hermione, Hermione, Hermione!' That's all he talks about!"
"And you don't even care..." Ginny said gaspingly, losing her breath.
"Ginny, I don't know what you want me to say! You said that I like him, and I don't. And now, you're complaining of how I don't like him, and how much attention he pays to me." She sighed.
"I don't know why he feels this way, Ginny. I don't know why he claims to like me. For all I saw, you two were kissing today!"
"No, Hermione. I kissed him. And he hated it. But I saw, I saw him kiss you today. It was filled with so much love. You don't even realize how much he cares about you. I just wish that he even looked at me the way he looks at you..." And she left, leaving Hermione with her thoughts.

It was around nighttime as Hermione sat alone in the Library. A book was in front of her, but it wasn't open. She was sitting there, just staring into space, when a hand waved in her face.
"Hello... Earth to Hermione!" She looked up. Her fifth year friend, Kali Smith sat across from her.
"Hermione, what's wrong? The book's not even open!" She said, smiling as she brushed a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.
"I don't know Kali. Ginny thinks I like Harry, and Harry likes me, and he also thinks that I think he's with Ginny..." She covered her face with her hands.
"Wow. Do you like Harry, Hermione?"
"No!" She said, turning her head back to Kali.
"Well, I don't think I do, I mean, he's my best friend!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Well, maybe it's time to start looking at him as more." And Kali swept away, leaving Hermione. She stood up, and made her way to the library doors.
'I have to talk to Harry.'
--
Ron and Parvati entered the Common Room hand-in-hand. They had been out for a walk around the grounds, and the news that they were a couple spread quickly. They were sitting on the couch together, chatting idly.
"So, how'd you even come upon asking me out, anyway?" Parvati asked him.
"Well, I really didn't know how without embarrassing myself--" He stopped when Parvati started giggling.
"Stop! Will you?" She was still laughing, and looked up, before composing herself.
"--so, I asked Harry and Hermione for a bit of advice on what not to say, cause you know me and these kind of things..."
"Harry and Hermione!" Parvati said. "Do you realize the sexual tension between those two!" Parvati practically screamed at him.
"No! Ew, they're my friends!"
"Who are obviously smitten with each other! Ron..." Parvati said.
"You think that they..." Ron gagged.
"Yes! Harry and Hermione do feel something for each other. Let's see how long it takes for them to get together."
--
The next day, no one was speaking. Hermione secluded herself during meals, Ginny snapped at Ron, and Harry rarely spoke period. Ron and Parvati shared a glance, both knowing whom to take.
--
Parvati found Hermione in the library. She pulled a chair over, and sat next to her.
"Doesn't it help if you're actually on a page with words?" Parvati said, jolting Hermione out of a stare.
"Oh. Yeah, it does help. Thanks."
"Hermione, what's wrong?" She began sobbing.
"Ginny is mad at me, I'm confused, Harry..." She stood up.
"I have to talk to Harry." She said through tears. And Parvati didn't dare stop her.
