A/N: Well then! 18 reviews, unless it's gone up and 1884 hits total! I am, very pleased with those results! This is just a short message to let everyone know that this chapter may be a little shorter than the others. See I'm VERY pressed for time and I won't be home all weekend. I might not have another chapter until Tuesday morning. So before I get angry messages I'm putting it in caps. SHORT NEXT CHAPTER. MY APOLOGIES!

Harry Potter found himself half awake. Stretching out his tired muscles he laid his arms around a sleeping Hermione. Looking down at the sleeping figure he smiled. She had a slight smile playing on her lips. Harry traced lazy circles across the small of her back and watched as she started to wake up.
"I don't want to get up yet." Hermione mumbled through her sleep.
"Well you don't always get what you want 'Mione," Hermione snuggled closer to the warmth of Harry's body and nodded her head.
"Yes I do, I wanted you didn't I?" Hermione said into his chest. Harry chuckled.
"Only because I wanted you back," He replied. Hermione was fast asleep again in Harry's arms. Leaning down he kissed her forehead. "I wanted you back," He whispered to himself.
It was nearly thirty minutes later when Hermione woke up in Harry's arms. His head resting on hers, Hermione tilted her head up and kissed Harry's lips.
"Wake up sleepy head," She said lightly. Harry stretched his arms up over his head and made some noises that made Hermione giggle. "I guess if first dates at the grocery mart lead to this, then I don't mind."
Harry laughed whole heartedly. "Erm, sorry about that, but what was I supposed to do! You completely caught me off guard. And to be honest 'Mione, I had told Ron we had only been together for a few weeks, and then you go off and tell Charlie that we've been together for a few months."
Hermione sat up and held the sheets around her. She had only just realized that she was completely naked, and guess that Harry must be as well.
"Harry, we need to talk." Hermione looked at him with no expression on her face what so ever.
"You're right. What we've done, can't affect out charade at all. Because, if we get too involved then well you know." Harry said placing a hand on her back.
"Hermione turned away, not letting him see the tears that had welled up in her eyes. Very slowly, and carefully, she said,
"You…You're right Harry. We can't mess up the charade. She left an emphasis on the word 'charade'. Harry sensed that something wasn't right with her.
"Hermione, what's the matter." He asked drawing back into his arms. Why does it seem as if she fits perfectly here? He thought.
"Harry, I can't just have a charade anymore. When I told you I wanted you I meant it. I didn't just want you to hop into my bed and have quick shag, and then go on with this stupid charade that you caused in the first place." She said, letting her unshed tears fall. Harry's jaw dropped. He wasn't sure exactly what she was saying.
"Hermione, what…What is it that you're saying really?" He asked, looked down at her.
"Harry, when you look at me, what do you see? For years and years I've sat back and watched you and Ron gawk at all of the other girls, I was just 'Mione'. But there was always a feeling that I didn't want to be just 'Mione,' I've always wanted more than that. I've always…Well I gave up basically and focused on Ron. You see I tried to push you out of my heart and not fall for you and I willed myself to fall for Ron. And now I've ended up with you, naked in my bed after the best night of my life, and you're saying that we can't let this affect our charade!"
Harry used his thumbs and wiped her falling tears away from her face. "Hermione, why didn't you ever tell me?"
"I…I don't know Harry." Hermione said looking away from him. Harry turned back to face him and dipped his head low and pressed his lips to hers fiercely, willing her lips to be compliant to his.
Pulling away, he murmured into her ear, "Hermione, I love you." Hermione's eyes widened with his words.
"Harry, I love you too." The two found themselves once again surrounded by pillows and sheets; giggling madly and experiencing pleasures they didn't know could exist since the night before.
