After Sirius had said goodnight, Harry decided to take a walk to clear his head. He left the Gryffindor Common Room and walked down to the Great Lake. As he rounded a corner, he bumped into someone. 'Sorry, I was in a world of my own,' Harry said, apologetically. 'That's ok.' Astoria said. 'Erm…, Can we have a talk,' Harry asked, sounding braver that he felt. Astoria gave a small chuckle and then said, sexually, 'of course, Harry.' Harry walked with Astoria to an empty classroom and entered. 'I might as well get straight to the point,' Harry said, nervously, 'why did you kiss me?' 'I felt that I had to, as I realised I am in love with you,' Astoria said, not realising that the L word can out of her lips, until she finished the sentence. 'You what?' Harry asked, confirming what he heard. 'Well, you bloody well went and said it now, too late to back out, hopefully I won't be hurt too much by my sister' Astoria thought'I'm in love with you,' she confirmed, to a shocked Harry. 'But, you barely know me,' Harry said, as if it was obvious, 'and anyway what does your sister, I presume, you know, the one that was looked like she was on the verge of tears, after you kissed me,' Harry said and waited for a nod from the girl to understand who he meant. She did, and so he continued. 'What does she think about this?' 'She is angry with me,' the girl said, unset. 'I do not know why or when I fell, I just felt as if I had to kiss you, at that moment, on those oh so kissable lips.' She said, completely unashamed by her admission. 'Well then, Story, as you like them so much, would you like to touch them again with your own?' Harry asked. 'Yes very much so, and by the way, nobody calls me 'Story,' she said. 'Well then, would you allow me to?' 'Yes' Astoria said as she moved closer to him and slowly locked lips with him. This kiss was full of passion from Story and Harry slowly expressed the same amount. He had never kissed anyone before so he felt as if he would disappoint her, somehow. When they had finished, a couple of seconds later, he was surprised. She let out in involuntary moan of pleasure. 'Did you enjoy that,' Harry asked, a bit nervously. 'Yes I did, but don't tell a soul, as I will be destroyed for kissing a Gryffindor, and enjoying it.' 'Don't tell anyone else this either, but that was my first kiss.' 'Mine to, so I was a bit scared that you didn't enjoy it.' 'I am so going to do that again,' Story said. 'It is getting late, and probably past curfew, so why don't we meet here tomorrow and carry on,' he said, 'but maybe, it might be a good idea to bring your sister along, so we can avoid any misunderstanding.' 'An exquisite idea, however before I go, can I have one more kiss,' she asked, unashamedly. 'Of course, if you answer me this question, will you be my girlfriend, even if it is in secret?' 'Of course, Harry,' Story beamed and immediately stated to re-enter the kiss. Harry laughed at his spunky girlfriend and kissed her back, after which he left, as to avoid staying longer, kissing her oh so kissable lips.
