It had been just over two months since their first kiss in the library, and Hermione still wasn't used to the idea of having a girlfriend. Harry and Ron knew about her and Ginny of course along with very few others. Harry never seemed to mind much, though he did have a tendency to stare. Ron on the other hand was very odd. He was gung ho about the relationship, but every so often he'd become awkward and have to leave the room. He never spent time with Ginny and Hermione without Harry.
In an attempt to prevent this occurance Hermione made a point to spent time with just the boys, specifically Ron, but Harry joined whenever he could. During those times if they happened to see Ginny Hermione acted like they were barely even friends. A 'Hello, how are you ?' would be asking too much. Ginny always left the encounters crushed, no matter how high her spirits before she ran into them. Whenever Ginny knew it was 'Ron time' she'd do her best to steer clear of them to avoid feeing that way.
Today however, Ginny was not being ignored as the two girls laid in bed studying in the 6th year dormitory. They had been up there for hours giggling, teasing and gossiping. What kept distracting Ginny though was Hermione herself. She couldn't help it, she just found the older girl so beautiful. Ginny kissed her as often as possible, but Hermione always broke away too quickly. It wasn't that she didn't want to kiss Ginny, she was just paranoid someone would walk in, Ginny could tell. Of course Ginny had also made the dreadful mistake of asking Hermione to help her study. Hermione was determined to cover all the material, and like a force of nature, she couldn't be stopped. Ginny made a mental note that maybe next time she'd just ask her if she wanted to made out. Hermione yawned. "We've only covered three chapters." She sounded slightly disappointed.
"So what, we've still go eight hours until sun up." Ginny said with a shrug. Then they heard foot steps coming toward them. "We'll have to take this down stairs to the common room if we want to continue." Hermione said.
"I don't think so…" Ginny said as she sat up pulling the curtains closed around Hermione's bed, then placing a silencing charm on the bed as the door to the dorm opened.
Hermione glared at her. "Is that the Prince's spell"
Ginny shrugged again. "Lighten up. Why should we have to leave when we're perfectly fine here?" No one will know I'm here, by the time we're done everyone else will be asleep and I'll sneak out"
Hermione sighed with defeat. "You only win because I'm lazy"
"Hermione Granger lazy? Now that is a statement I never thought I'd hear from you. Then again… you've been doing a lot of un expected things lately." Ginny said as she leaned in and gave her a kiss.
"Don't you start. You can't taunt your closeted lesbian lover, there's got to be a rule against it." Hermione teased.
Though I was just a joke it pleased Ginny when she said things like that. Sort of validating what they have. "Ok, no more teasing. About being a lesbian anyway…" Hermione squeezed Ginny's size a revenge making her jump. "Ginny, you've never had a girlfriend before, right?" Ginny nodded. "So how do you know you're gay?" Hermione asked looking at Ginny intensely.
Ginny shrugged slightly. "I dated a lot of guys and none of them held my attention. I just wasn't into them. How did you know you wanted to kiss me"
"I didn't. Not until we already were." Hermione answered shyly.
"How'd you know you wanted to keep kissing me"
"I don't know, it was just… electric." Hermione's answer made both girls smile. "I always feel good around you , you're the only girl I've ever liked… that counts." "That counts?" Ginny asked, raising an eyebrow at the older girl. "Is there a girl you liked who you're not counting?" "There was… oh it's nothing." Hermione said picking up her text book.
"Oh no.!" Ginny jumped on Hermione and began to tickle her. "Spit it out Granger!" Hermione squirmed under Ginny gasping for air. "I give, I give, just get off of me!" Hermione ceased her attack, but remained on top of Hermione. "It was during fourth year, I met someone I didn't like very much, but when I look back on it now, I think it was because I fancied her"
"So who was it"
"Don't laugh." Hermione looked at Ginny sternly. "It was Fleur"
Ginny's eyes widened as her mouth fell open. "Bill's Fleur? Phlegm?" Ginny covered her mouth unsure weather to laugh or cry. "Please tell me you're joking 'Moine"
Hermione pushed Ginny lightly, toppling her onto the bed. "I just don't know why I bother with you." She said, her joking tone badly covering the hurt.
Ginny crawled back over to her placing kisses on her neck. "Please 'Mione, don't be like that." More kisses. "I didn't mean to upset you. It's actualy very cute." Ginny pulled away to look at Hermione's face. Her eyes had been closed but they slowly opened to meet with Ginny's. "It was funny. My first girlfriend, who was the object of my brother's affection, at one time fancied the girlfriend of one of my other brothers and being that I inherited Fred and George's sense of humor, I couldn't help myself." Ginny leaned in and pressed their foreheads together. "Thank you for reminding me of the fact that you have too many brothers and showing me how incredibly screwed up my love life is." Hermione pouted. "If you'd let me finish…" Ginny waited for any other interuption. "When it comes to you and the men or women you're attracted to, it doesn't really matter when I'm with you everyday holding you in my arms, because that's all that really matters to me." Ginny stared at Hermione hoping that was a sufficient apology. "Ginny… that was beautiful." Hermione leaned up and claimed Ginny's lips in a deep kiss. This time she did not pull away, for the first time Hermione kissed her without worry, apprehension or fear. Hen the kiss was over they stayed lost in each other, moving slightly only to plant light kisses on the others face or neck. It was Hermione who finally broke the silence. "Do you think there are other… lesbians in Hogwarts?" she asked quietly, almost not aware she had spoken until Ginny answered.
"Of course"
"Who?" Hermione asked.
Ginny contorted her face in thought. "Well… Pansy Parkinson for one"
Hermione couldn't hide her surprise. "I thought she was dating Draco"
Ginny propped herself up on one elbow to look down into Hermione's face. "Are you telling me that you know someone who acts more like a girl than Draco Malfoy"
"Ginny, you're terrible!" Hermione laughed as her hand made its way to a pillow which she grabbed and hit Ginny with playfully.
Ginny scowled at her through the red hair tha was now in her face. "Me? At least I don't fight dirty!" She said stealing the pillow away and turning it on Hermione. They wrestled around for a few more minutes before Hermione was able to disarm Ginny.
Slightly out of breath Hermione said "Enough horse play, we've got studying to get back to." Part of Ginny cried in defeat for not being able to get the brunette to forget about their studies, while the rest of her celebrated for getting her to relax for as long as she had. "Yes ma'am." Ginny said snatching up her book and finding he right page.

Before long Hermione had fallen asleep reading an ingredients list in her potions book. Ginny smiled at the slumbering beauty as she carefully slid the book from under her head. A pillow would be too big to fit under her, so Ginny unbuttoned her top shirt, folded it and laced it under Hermione. Under her uniform shirt she wore a white tank top that she recently outgrew, it now clung to her every curve. She gathered the books, placed them at the end of the bed, grabbed a blanket and wrapped Hermione in it. Ginny placed a kiss on the top of Hermione's head then slowly crawled off the bed.As she was about to leave she noticed Hermione still had be shoes on. Ginny smiled and eased them of her feet. Hermione stirred as Ginny bent down to place the shoes next to the bed. "Gin?" Hermione mumbled to the bit of red hair she was over the edge of her bed.
"Go back to sleep Luv, I'm on my way out"
"No, come here." Ginny fulfilled her request, crawling back across the bed to her. Hermione pulled the younger girl into a tight hug. Realizing she was touching more warm skin than she should be Hermione opened her eyes. She was probably not awake enough to be speaking, but that didn't stop her. "Where are your clothes"
"Look under you sweetie. You fell asleep on a book." Ginny laughed to herself lightly.
Hermione loved that sound, the feel of that warm perfect body against her own. "Oh. Well that shirt lookes lovely on you." She kissed Ginny on the neck lazily as she draped the blanket over the younger girl. "Stay with me?" It was meant to sound casual, as if it didn't matter to her if Ginny stayed or went. However, Ginny caught a hint of… pleading.
It wasn't as if they had never shared a bed, but Ginny couldn't help feeling shocked. Hermione always kept their relationship so guarded. "Are you sure you want me to stay in here tonight? What about the other girls"
"There's not enough room in the bed for them silly." Ginny stifled her laugh, clearly Hermione had not understood the question. Then she leaned in and spoke into Ginny's ear softly. "Besides, you're the only girl I want"
Ginny smiled seductively and said, "So you want me"
Hermione's hands tensed around Ginny's waist as she made eye contact with the red head and nodded slowly. Ginny's smile grew as she put her head down and gazed at the top of the four poster bed. Hermione propped herself up on her arm so her head and part of her torso were over Ginny's. She looked deeply into the younger witch's eyes as if searching. When she found it something in her changed and she began to lean down. Then she stopped. Hesitation, panic, confusion, Ginny watched as they all flashed across Hermione's eyes in the darkness.
"It's ok Hermione." Ginny reached up and brushed Hermione's cheek with her hand. A smile played at the edges of her lips and just like that all her fears were gone. She leaned down and stole Ginny's lips in a passionate kiss. After this night Hermione would never pull away from one of Ginny's kisses ever again.

A/N: I wasn't sure what I wanted the second chapter to be about, so I started writing and I just kept jumping around, then I went backand rearranged the story and made it flow, but I'm not sure if I showed what I intended to. I wanted you to see that Hermione was not very comfortable with her new relationship at times, but after this particular night she would be. I'd love to hear what you think so please review.
