Harry couldn't stand it any longer, he needed her, he got up, he had had the dream again, and this time he didn't stop at the jumper. He stood up and glanced over to Ron, who was asleep, would he ever forgive Harry if he found out what may happen? Harry crept downstairs, quietly so that he wouldn't wake the entire house. She was there on the sofa, asleep, it was like a dream come true. She lay there perfectly, her hair covering her face, she lips slightly parted, Harry bent down and touched those lips, so soft, he lowered his head on kissed her slightly on the mouth. She awoke, her eyes slowly opening, she stared up at Harry and smiled. On her elbows she lent forwards and kissed him. It was exactly like his dream, except better, if possible. After a while of just kissing, she stood up, and walked over to the girls' dorms door. Without even looking back at him she walked up the stairs and disappeared. He fell back onto the sofa, he was so happy, he had finally done it, he had kissed Hermione.
Harry didn't know how, but by the next morning half of Gryffindor already new about him and Hermione. As he walked down the stairs, he got wolf whistles from the older years; he just ignored it and walked into the common room. Hermione was sitting in the corner with Lavender and Parvati. Lavender looked up at him when he walked in and nudged Parvati, they laughed, and Hermione just sat there looking glum. 'hey, you've got some nerve coming in here mate.' Harry turned to face the twins, 'we congratulate you boy!' they laughed, but soon stopped when Ron walked through the door, everyone in the common room turned to look as Ron walked over to Harry, 'hey' he whispered in Harry's ear 'who did I kill?' he glanced over at Hermione who couldn't hold his stare, quickly turning to Harry, 'tell him' she whispered. 'Tell me what?' there was still silence, 'O, for Christ's sakes, what happened?' Fred was the first to talk, 'Seamus came in here last night to find these two making out, and Dean saw him the other day in his room jerking off.' At first Ron looked confused, 'what, Harry and Hermione …?' his question trailed off as glanced over to his friend and girlfriend, both unwilling to look at him, their eyes directed at the floor. Ron stormed out, Hermione started crying uncontrollably and Harry just stood there. George patted Fred on the back, 'well done mate, I couldn't have said it better myself!'
