As Hermione slowly got out of the car, Ron and Harry stepped out of the front door. Harry politely went over to Mrs. Granger and shook her hand.
"Hello Mrs. Granger, you look lovely today," Harry said.
"Why, thank you Harry. You don't look so bad yourself."
Hermione and Ron rolled their eyes together.
"Hey Ron," Hermione said flirtatiously.
"Hi Hermione," Ron said nervously, "You look really nice today."
"Ron, not to point out the obvious, but, this is what I always wear."
"Well, you look especially nice."
As Mrs. Granger pulled cautiously out of the driveway,(she wanted to make sure Hermione would be "just hanging out" with the boys) Harry realized Hermione and Ron were flirting. He smiled. He was the same way with Ginny.
"Okay you love birds, let's go inside."
Once inside, Hermione suddenly felt uncomfortable. Ron's parents were gone…they were unchaperoned in Ron's house. These thoughts kept running through Hermione's head over and over again. By the looks on Ron's and Harry's faces, they were thinking it too.
"So…how have you been Hermione?" Ron asked.
"Nervous," responded Hermione, laughing softly.
"What? Why are you nervous?"
"I've just been thinking about...ah, never mind."
"Come on Hermione you can tell us," Harry said.
"Okay, okay, Ron, I'll spill."
"Should I leave the room?" Harry asked slowly.
Hermione and Ron looked at each other, both blushing.
"Okay! I'll leave." Harry said as he got up and disappeared into another room.
As Harry was leaving, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, so, I might as well get this over with," Hermione babbled.
"Okay..."
'Well, Ron we were just friends up to this point and I was wondering if we still are or more than that."
"Well Hermione, what do you want?"
"The kiss in the closet was really sweet and all, but, what about Harry?"
"I'll be okay!" yelled Harry from the next room over.
Ron and Hermione just looked at each other, smiled, laughed, and then walked out the room hand in hand.
