AN: I can explain! I know this chapter is the shortest thing to ever come out but I'm really preoccupied with another story… One that no one but my boyfriend will be reading on our one year aniversery… So I've been working on that hence the not going near my computer.. And moving is really tough too! But thank you so much for the reviews! I love them all so much! I will thank everyone who reviewed the last chapter at the end of this one. Once again I'm sorry for the shortness of this chapter.
Chapter Five:
"I don't want you two near each other anymore. I don't care if we have to saw those handcuffs off." Ron said defiantly and sat back, crossing his arms over his chest.
Harry felt as if all the air in his body had just been sucked out. He thought Ron understood. And the only key was lost. The only other way to take them off Harry and Hermione didn't even know themselves.
"Ron," Hermione spoke calmly, but Harry knew she was doing everything in her power not to slap Ron across the head. Her back was too rigid to be calm. "You know that won't work. The handcuffs are protected by a charm, one I don't even know."
"Well there must be some way. I don't want you guys so close together all the time." Harry noticed Ron's ears were turning red and he knew he had to do something to stop this while it was just beginning.
"Ron, we've been trying to think of reasons that could help us get out of these. But there's no use getting so upset over it." Harry said quietly as to not upset Ron too much further.
"It's not fair! Why can't I be connected to Hermione!" Ron said standing up, his face now scarlet red.
Hermione said nothing to what Ron had to say. She just silently stood up, looked him directly in the eyes, and whispered "Sod off Ron." And left for upstairs taking Harry with her of course.
Once they were out of the sight of Ron who was still standing in the common room mouth open in shock. Hermione sank down to the ground and openly wept.
Harry didn't know what to do first. Put his arm around her? Sit next to her silently? Ask her if she was okay. He decided to sit next to her first, then make sure she was stable. He realized he couldn't very well put his arm around her so he tried to give a little half hug with his free arm. Hoping it went well Harry gave her gentle kiss on the head and leaned his head on her shoulder.
Hermione responded by also embracing in Harry's. Out of no where a glow came from the handcuffs and both of the looked down with wide eyes. 'Are they coming off' Harry wondered to himself silently not saying it out loud as to not jinx it. Unfortunately Harry thought wrong, but it was a good thing. After the light had gone away they noticed another two links were added to the chains connecting the handcuffs.
"Harry! This is brilliant! We did something that's a step to getting them off. But what did we do?" Hermione asked with a slight frown.
Harry raked his memory trying to figure out what they possibly could have done in the last minute or so. 'Perhaps her getting upset?' Harry thought to himself but quickly crossed that off after realizing there was no possible way that the twins of all people would ever put something on them that would cause them to be sad to be released.
"Harry, I noticed that something…" Hermione started sounding slightly embarrassed. "After you… Pressed your lips with slight pressure on my head then the reaction occurred.
'Leave it to Hermione to think of a way to say 'kiss' in a scientific manner.' Harry thought to himself humorously. "Now that I think of it, yeah, that's the only reasonable explanation."
"Harry, kiss me right now. On the lips." Hermione said looking directly in Harry's eyes.
AN: END OF CHAPTER. I decided I'd set you up with a nice opener for next chapter for you, cause I suck at writing long chapters quickly. Now to thank you all: THANK YOU:
