Chaper 4: Hermione's reaction

"Ok well... you see... I've been having these feelings lately." said Harry.

"What kind of feelings?" asked Hermione.

"Ummm... how do you say it... I guess... well feelings" said Harry impatiently. "You know, having feelings for someone as like more than a friend?"

"Oh yah. So you want my help getting Ginny back?" asked Hermione.

"No no. Its not Ginny."

"Then who is it?"

"It's... you." said Harry calmly. Hermione's jaw dropped.

Hermione continued staring at Harry not moving or even blinking. In the background Bill and Fleur were sharing their first kiss as a new couple. And still Hermione stared at Harry until he couldn't take it anymore.

"H-hermione? Ok so I know that your probably like shocked right now and didn't expect that at all. I mean, even I didn't expect that. I know I shouldn't love you because your my best friend, but I can't help it. Your so beautiful, and smart, and funny and a great person to be around. And I'm totally ruining Ron's trust right now. He likes you and here I go and do something like this. He's gonna hate me forever. Please Hermione. Say something. Anything. Are you registering any of this at all?" said Harry going on and on.

"Y-your in love with me? Oh my god. Y-you just said had feelings for. You love me? I can't take this right now. Oh my gosh. " Hermione said looking down and shacking her head a little.

Harry grabbed her hands and looked deep into her eyes. "Hermione, you don't have to decide anything right now. Take as much time to think as you need. I know this must be hard to think about."

"Right ok. Well we should get up now like eveyone else. Their all already getting ready for the reception." said Hermione with a blank look on her face.

Bill and Fleur were now currently taking pictures. Bill yelled over to Hermione and Harry to come and get in a few of the pictures.

The reception was really nice. Everyone talked, danced, and ate. Harry looked and saw Hermione sitting alone just staring at the ground. I feel so bad now. I didn't want this to ruin the rest of the day now. How are we ever going to live together now after this. Maybe I should ask her to dance. It might make her feel better.

Harry walked over to Hermione and stopped in front of her. She slowly looked up at him. "Ok so I know I'm probably about the last person you want to see right now. But I was wondering if you wanted to dance? Not as the person that just revield their true feelings for you and totally freaked you out, but as your best friend who cares about you and doesn't want to see you sitting over here alone?" asked Harry.

"I'd love to Harry." Hermione said with a small smile. They walked over to the dance for and Harry put his hands around Hermione's small waist and Hermione put hers over his neck. They swayed to the music together.

"Your a really good dancer Harry" said Hermione.

"Thanks. You are too."

"I still need more time Harry." Harry suddenly looked down at Hermione listening closely. "I'm sorry for the way I reacted, and I know I probably hurt you some but I need more time. Just give me a couple of days to think and I swear I will get back to you. I'm not compeltely ruleing out the idea of you and me together, it does sound nice, but I just need to think about what would happen if we got together ok?" Hermione told Harry.

"Yah of course. I understand."

"So, are we leaving for your family's house tommarow?" asked Hermione.

"Yah I suppose we are. But you and Ron don't have to come with me there. You can wait and then afterwards we can go to Godric's Hollow together." said Harry.

"I'm staying with you no matter what Harry. And I know Ron will want to also." said Hermione.

"But the Dursley's can be pretty horrible. I wouldn't put it past them to not allow you and Ron into the house because your not muggles." said Harry.

"They will just have to deal. It's only three more weeks until your birthday and we're out of there."

"Hey. Can I cut in?" asked Ron.

"Uh, sure. I'll see you later Hermione." said Harry.

Harry walked over to a nearby table and sat down. He watch jelously as Ron and Hermione danced together. But he was happy to notice that Hermione didn't seem to be enjoying herself in Ron's company.

By that night everyone was exhausted. Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to bed as soon as everyone left. They knew that they would have an early start tommarow.

"Harry. Wake up. Harry. HARRY!" yelled Hermione after 5 minutes of trying to wake up Harry. He jumped up so fast he didn't realized that he was only wearing is boxers. Hermione's eyes widened as she stared at him.

"What? Whats wrong?" he asked. Hermione continuted to stare at him.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you. You wouldn't wake up and we have to get going soon. It's going to be a long day." she blushed and hurried out of the room.

Great. Now I upset her because she thinks I'm mad at her. Wonderful. Harry thought but he didn't realized that the real reason why Hermione rushed out of the room from embarrasment was from seeing him half naked and realizing for the first time how gorgeous he really was.

Harry quickly got dressed and walked down to the kitchen were Ron and Hermione were waiting for him. Hermione had made them a quick breakfast as everyone else was still in bed for another hour. Mrs. Weasley had briefly taught Hermione some basic cooking skills while they were visiting. Hermione smiled at Harry weakly as he sat down across from her and began eating.

"Ok, so I've told mum and dad our plans. Obviously mum was terrified." Ron put on a high pitched squeek. "Ronald I know you care for Harry but this is so dangerous. You could get killed. I can't even imagine it." Ron's voice went back to normal, "Honestly, some of the things that women says."

"She's only saying it out of love Ronald." Hermione said sternly.

"Yah I suppose so."

"So all I have to do is get packed and I'm all ready." said Harry.

"Well we're both already packed. And since your not of age yet I can magically pack your things for you so we can get going sooner Harry." said Ron.

"Thanks but I think I'll have Hermione here do it. Safer." said Harry smirking.

"Ok, well I'll be right back then." Hermione stated.

In a matter of five minutes Hermione came back down to the kitchen with all of Harry's things perfectly packed. By the time they got eveything out on the front yard eveyone else was up.

"Goodbye Ron. Bye Harry, Hermione. Be safe, and don't forget you can visit any time. Especially you Ronald." said Mrs. Weasley in tears as she gave them all hugs.

"Bye everyone. Hope you have a good time. Oh and Harry, if you see any spare plugs do grab me some alright?" said Mr. Weasley.

"Of course Mr. Weasley." replyed Harry laughing.

Fred, George, Ginny, Bill, Fleur, and Charlie all said their goodbyes and everyone walked outside and waved as they borded on the night bus.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione all took their seats on the night bus and waved out of the windows before the purple double decker sped of.

"So do you think your aunt and uncle will mind that we came along with you mate?" asked Ron.

"Course they will. But you two can do magic all the time now. So they'll be to terrified to say anything." replyed Harry. They all laughed.

"Well your birthday is in three weeks so we wont be there too long." said Ron.

"Yah I suppose so. But I just can't wait to see their faces." said Harry.
