"Is that Draco Malfoy with Ginny Weasley?"

"Oh my God! They're holding hands."

"Someone alert the press!"

Ginny and Draco strutted down the corridor, hand in hand, as if it were a catwalk. Draco whispered something in Ginny's ear, and she turned and slapped his arm with her free hand, while flushing a deep red. He laughed at her and winked. People were openly staring at them, mouths agape. Draco rolled his eyes. He stopped walking, as Ginny halted her steps and stared at him quizzically.

Draco smirked at her, before turning his attention to the gathering crowd, which were a mix of all Houses. "As you can see, Ginny Weasley and I are now officially dating."

Some people gasped, some people shrugged and went on with their days, but a 4th year Slytherin girl started crying hysterically, exclaiming, "but I love you, Draco!"

Draco raised his eyebrows at the young girl. "Astoria. Your like a little sister to me. I've known you since you were born. I wouldn't be able to have an intimate relationship with you. I hope you understand."

Astoria stopped crying, and instead stormed up to Ginny, completely ignoring Draco. She pointed a finger at her. "You better treat him well. If not... well, lets just say there will be too many pieces of you to put you together properly again." Astoria smiled, a little to sweetly at Ginny, and said, "have a nice day."

She turned to Draco, pursed her lips and nodded curtly, before picking up her bag and leaving for her next class. Ginny looked a bit taken aback, but composed herself quickly. She smiled at Draco and he smiled back.

Collin Creevey, who was amongst the crowd, turned on his heel, to alert the Golden Trio.

Collin arrived at the Gryffindor Common Room and scanned the room. His eyes landed on heads of jet black and bushy brown hair, sitting near the fireplace. Seeing as it was the weekend, it was understandable to find them here. To Collin, he thought that it was good that Harry and Hermione were still friends, following their short relationship. If anything their failed relationship has lead them to be closer than what they were before. Having spotted his intended targets, Collin walked over to them. He was greeted with a smile from Harry and a "hello Collin" from Hermione.

"Hi! Guess what I just witnessed?" Collin said, exuberantly.

Harry shrugged, whereas Hermione sat in deep thought.

"Hmm... Dumbledore singing and dancing to muggle songs?" Collin shook his head. "Pillow fight between all the Houses in the Great Hall?" Collin laughed and shook his head. "McGonagoll in a bra and knickers?" Collin wrinkled his nose up, as Harry laughed.

"No. It was not McGonagoll in a bra and knickers. But thank you for that lovely mental image," Collin replied, sarcastically.

"I'm never going to be able to take her seriously now, with that image permanently burned into my brain," Harry laughed.

Hermione frowned. "Okay Collin, what did you witness? I've got nothing else."

Collin took a deep breath, the laughter dying down. "Draco Malfoy just announced that Ginny Weasley is his girlfriend. They were holding hands and everything. Smiling sweetly at each other, the whole kit and caboodle."

Harry and Hermione froze. They stared at each other. This was definitely not what they were expecting.

"Thank you Collin for telling us this," Hermione said.

"Your welcome. Now would you know where Ron would be?" Collin asked.

Harry stared at Collin. "Ron doesn't know?"

"Not that I know of," Collin shrugged.

"Alright Collin. Thanks for your help. Don't tell Ron just yet," Harry replied.

Collin nodded and left the Common Room, leaving them to be alone. Everyone was out enjoying the sun, before dark fell.

Harry looked at Hermione, and leaned over whisper something in her ear.

"I think I should be the one to let Ron know. What do you think?"

His warm breath tickled her sensitive skin on her neck, and sent shivers flying down her spine. Hermione turned her head, shakily, to face him and nodded, breathing deeply, trying to restrain from kissing his lips, that looked so soft. He winked at her. Hermione opened her mouth in shock. He had been trying to get her aroused! And just after hearing what Collin had said. Hermione's eyes narrowed at him and he raised his eywbrows.

She couldn't resist anymore. She pounced on him, straddling him with her legs. She grabbed his shirt collar, and bent her head down. His eyes fluttered shut, and she smirked. She bent her head down to whisper in his ear.

"I know you were trying to get me aroused, Harry. And after what we just heard as well. I'm disappointed in you. But now that you've started it, I may as well finish it."

Harry shivered, as Hermione pulled back, so she could lay her lips on his. Hermione turned her head to the side, to deepen the kiss. His warm lips on hers was all she needed right now. She nibbled on his lips to let him know she wanted more. Harry licked her bottom lip, so she parted her mouth slightly, to allow his tongue access. Her tongue went into his mouth, as his shot into hers. Hermione's tongue explored the mouth, she had explored so many times before, as Harry done the same. Their tongues met in the middle and interacted, exchanging saliva.

Hermione pulled back first, in need of air. Harry took in her appearance. Her wild hair made her look like she was a mad scientist. She had flushed cheeks, was panting, and had a sparkle of mirth in her eyes as she stared at him. As he wondered why, it was only then that he realised that his hand had traveled inside her shirt, and he was subconsciously trying to unclasp her bra.

He quickly withdrew his hand, and flushed a deep shade of red. Hermione laughed.

"Alright. I better go tell Ron," Harry said, flustered.

"Okay. I'll see you later. Good luck," she said with a wink.

She climbed off of him and walked out of the Common Room, leaving Harry in deep thought.

Hey!

OMG! So I know it has been AGES since I've updated this story. But I have been busy with heaps of stuff. Please don't hate me!

I also hope you like my new story Secrets.

Let me know if I've gone to far into detail with the kissing scene, or not far enough. I am trying to stay away from smut scenes, though.

Love,
