"Hey!" Ron yelled. "Come back here with my money!"
"Ron it's our money!" Ginny yelled. "And you cheated. So they can have it."
Ron grunted and walked up to the Common Room hoping to persuade his money back.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Harry sat by himself in the Gryffindor Common Room waiting. He seemed to be doing a lot of that lately. Ron and Lavender left for Hogsmeed already, saying they would meet up later, meanwhile, Harry was waiting for Hermione to come down. He got lost in his own thoughts, waiting for Voldemort, that he didn't realize someone say his name.
"Harry…hey Harry!"
He broke his gaze from the fire to see Hermione looking at him with compassion in her eyes.
"You ok?"
"Yeah." He lied. "Never better."
"Harry don…"
" 'Mione I'm going to Hogsmeed with my favorite person, and most beautiful person, in the world!" He said loading the carriages. "What more could I want?"
"Harry…first of all I'm not prettiest girl in the world, and 2nd, something is bothering you. I can see it in your eyes."
Harry laughed and gazed at the floor.
"What is it?"
"I can't hide anything from you now can I?"
"No…you can't."
"It's nothing to be worried about really." He assured her. "Just dreams."
"Care to elaborate?"
"Not really."
Harry put his arm around Hermione's shoulder and escorted her to the 3 Broomsticks.
"You want a butterbeer?"
"Uh…sure."
Hermione grabbed an empty table and waited until Harry came over with 2 mugs.
"Thanks."
"No problem."
Harry took a sip of his drink and again got lost in his thoughts. 'I can't believe I'm sitting here with Hermione. On a 'date'. This feels kind of awkward.'
"Come here." Harry grabbed Hermione, mid gulp, and pulled her outside.
"Where are we going?"
"Somewhere private. This isn't working for me."
Hermione thought of the worst as Harry brought her to the clearing near the Shrieking Shack.
"I…uh…have something to tell you, and don't really know how to say it."
"Harry is something wrong? You know you can tell me anything."
"I know." He sighed and took a deep breath. "I didn't want to 'just' invite you to Hogsmeed. I feel like I have to say, or do, more to you than just ask you out somewhere. It felt awkward sitting with you in the 3 Broomsticks."
"Well were here now, alone. Tell me."
"I love you… I probably have ever since the day I saw you, but was just to stupid to realize it. You are everything to me 'Mione. When I saw you go down in the Department of Ministry's, my whole life froze. The thought of loosing you made me realize how I feel, and that I thought I would never get a chance to tell you. It jolted my mind strait."
"H-Harry…" she stuttered, a single tear sliding down her cheek.
"Oh no…I didn't want to make you cry." He whipped the tear away with his thumb and stared into her eyes.
"I love you too." She whispered and lightly brought her hand to his face.
Harry leaned in closer and smelled her warm honey scent. He brushed his lips against hers, sending a warm tingling feeling down his spine. 'I defiantly didn't feel like that when I kissed Cho.'
Hermione felt her whole body go numb as Harry's lips met hers. 'I'm kissing Harry! Oh my god! I'm not responding. WHY AM I NOT RESPONDING?' She pressed harder onto his lips and slightly opened her mouth when she heard a rustling in the bushed. Her and Harry both jumped up, wands in hand.
"Don't shoot!" Someone shouted, and Ron came out of the clearing. "It's just me!"
"Ron!" Harry yelled. "Don't scare us like that! You're lucky I didn't blow your head off."
"Sorry mate."
"How long were you there?" Hermione questioned, crossing her arms over her chest.
Ron had an evil grin in his face. "Long enough."
"Ron!"
"What! I came to find you guys and just happened to walk in on a kiss."
Harry and Hermione both turned red at the thought of the event that happened only moments ago.
"So are you guys officially boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Yes." Harry said, but then he thought of a slight problem. "Wait a minuet."
"What's wrong Harry?"
"What will happen if people find out 'Mione?" He wondered. "It will be all over the papers."
"Not if you go talk to a certain someone about Dumbledore."
"Oh yeah! We should go to the Hogs Head and see if there is anyone there are any order members there."
"Yeah. That's a good idea."
The trio walked down the streets of Hogsmeed. Harry and Hermione were hand-in-hand as Ron walked along the side.
