The next day, Hermione went over to Ron's house.
"Ron, I really like you, but, we just need to something more than holding hands," complained Hermione.
"Are you asking me to kiss you Hermione? You know, this was much easier in the closet."
"Gosh Ron, I never really knew you actually liked it in the closet," Hermione said teasingly.
"Oh! Well, yeah, I loved it."
"Good. You might get more of it soon."
The next two weeks went on boringly for Hermione. All she ever did was hold Ron's hand.
Finally, something amazing happened. Hermione was home alone with Harry and Ron playing Twister©. It was Ron's turn to go and Hermione was getting very uncomfortable.
"Ron, right hand red," Harry said.
"Okay, okay!" Ron exclaimed stubbornly.
As Ron was sliding his hand onto the red circle, he lost his balance and fell directly on top of Hermione.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Hermione!" Ron said as he began to blush.
"No, No, It's alright," Hermione said. She was enjoying the fact that Ron was directly on top of her.
"Um, Hermione...Can I kiss you?" Ron asked nervously.
"Um, no," Hermione said sarcastically.
"Oh, um, okay?"
"Ron! I was being sarcastic!" Hermione said as she slapped him across the arm playfully.
"So...I can kiss you?"
"Of course you can Ron," Hermione said as she batted her eyelashes.
The kiss they shared was beautiful. Ron's tongue found its way into Hermione's mouth, and Hermione accepted it with joy. By the time they pulled apart, they were gasping for breath. Once they had enough oxygen, Ron bit Hermione's lower lip.
"Ouch!" exclaimed Hermione as she rubbed her lip. "That hurt."
"Sorry Hermione," said Ron apologizing.
As Hermione got up, she said, "That's okay." She paused and thought about what they were going to do next. "I know what we can do!" Hermione exclaimed, "Who wants to play tag?"
"Not it!" said Harry, but nobody heard him.
"Not it!" squealed Hermione as she started to run away. "Bet you can't catch me!"
"We'll see about that!"
As Hermione and Ron ran out of the room, Harry looked hurt.
"That's okay guys, I'll be alright by myself," Harry said with all of the sadness in the world.
