A/N: Ok I didn't explain this in the last chapter. Hermione is a prefect but not Head girl yet. In this story she has her own room, like the Head Boy and Girl do. It's larger than the normal dorms and its much more private than Ginny's dorm. That is why Ginny and Hermione go to her room instead of Ginny's to... well you'll see.

Chapter Two: Like A Game

The kiss was quick and innocent but when Hermione pulled away to apologize, Ginny placed her hands on either side of the brunette's face and pulled her back into the kiss. Ginny had been surprised when Hermione first kissed her but now Hermione was surprised that Ginny was so unwilling to stop. This kiss was gently and curious but at the same time, passionate. Hermione let out a small moan as Ginny ran her tongue along the older girl's bottom lip, gently prodding for access. Hermione complied, parting her lips for Ginny's probing tongue. Hermione's mind was racing with so many different thoughts but all her focus turned to the girl beneath her when she felt one of Ginny's hands sliding slowly down her back. She released her full weight on Ginny, earning a soft moan from the redhead as their bodies pressed together. Ginny smiled against Hermione's lips, as her hand slid over Hermione's ass; she had forgotten that the brunette had fallen asleep wearing only a tank top and a pair of panties. Finally the two broke apart, as oxygen became a necessity.

"Ginny..." Hermione started. She let her head fall, resting on the redhead's shoulder.

"I should go..." Ginny whispered. Her mind was so clouded by the weight of the beautiful woman above her that she needed to get away for a little while to think about everything.

"Ok," Hermione replied quietly. She knew too well how hard it would be to figure this whole thing out while in each other's presence. Hermione pulled herself off of Ginny, and they both sat up, still trying to regulate their breathing. Hermione closed her eyes and unconciously licked her lips as Ginny quietly made her way out of her room. She smiled at Ginny's lingering taste on her lips. They both knew that if they had tried to speak or even look at each other, Ginny wouldn't have been able to leave.

Ginny collapsed on her bed and sighed. She knew that this would happen sooner or later she just hadn't thought that it would be with Hermione. She had to figure out was this was. It wasn't just some random girl that she would never see again. This was Hermione. They were best friends and had been for about six years. If anything went wrong, her life would be ruinned, but...on the other hand, they were best friends. They knew each others deepest secrects. Except for this one big one, Ginny thought. But then maybe Hermione is gay too. She wouldn't just kiss a girl if she wasn't attracted to her, right? How had they both kept this big of a secret, a secret for so long. Ginny had done it by simply ignoring it. But would she have ignored it if she had known that Hermione was going through the same thing? Would she have told her? They could have helped each other through it. Ginny silently scolded herself. She didn't even know if Hermione had been feeling this for a while. She groaned and rubbed her face. Why did this have to be so complicated when it felt so right? She decided to jump in the shower before heading down to breakfast. She was extremely glad that it was a Saturday and that she wouldn't have to try and focus in her classes.

Hermione smiled and fell back onto her bed. She couldn't believe what had just happened. Ginny had kissed her. No. She had kissed Ginny. She kissed a girl, and it had been amazing. Her first real kiss, and it was with her best friend. It was sweet, and gentle and passionate, everything that a first kiss should be. She closed her eyes and imagined the feeling of Ginny pressed beneath her as they kissed. She imagined the feeling of Ginny's soft lips on hers and Ginny's tongue massaging her own. When had this attraction to girls occured? She didn't have a problem with it; hell she just made out with her best friend because of it. But she had never thought about girls in that way. She had always had a crush on Ron, but as they got older they had more and more differences. She loved him as a friend but he was just too immature to be her boyfriend. But now she had a girlfriend. Girlfriend? All they did was kiss. Did that make Ginny her girlfriend?

After jumping in the shower, Hermione got dressed and headed down to breakfast. Her stomach jumped slightly when she saw Ginny sitting next to Ron at the Gryffindor table. She looked down at her outfit to make sure that her jeans and sweater looked ok. She sat down next to Harry, across from Ginny and their eyes met. Both girls gave a shy smile and then turned to their food. Ginny poked at her food, too nervous to eat, and Hermione was blushing even though no one was looking at her.

"What's up with you two?" Ron asked through a mouthful of food. Both Ginny and Hermione looked up at each other wide eyed and then over at Ron.

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked cautiously. Ron didn't notice her nervousness and took another bite before responding.

"I mean, you're usually talking about twenty different ways to spend the weekend doing homework and Ginny never shuts up about anything for longer than five minutes. I got her to stop talking this morning, Hermione thought with a smile. Almost reading her mind, Ginny responded.

"Hermione said that you don't know what you're talking about. In fact, this morning I went...a while without talking," she said locking eyes with Hermione, causing both girls to blush slightly.

"Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it," Ron mumbled. Hermione rolled her eyes. Thinking about the kiss, made her stomach tighten and she couldn't eat anymore. She stood up and looked down at Ginny.

"I'm not very hungry. I'm going to go for a walk. Ginny, would you care to join me?" Ginny looked up and smiled when she saw the huge grin plastered on Hermione's face.

"Sure. I'm not very hungry either." The two girls headed out of the great hall, leaving the two boys confused. They bumped into each other slightly as they quickly walked to were they were finally alone. Ginny looked around and when satisfied that they were hidden from view, she grabbed Hermione's hand and pulled her into another kiss. Hermione smiled and gently pushed Ginny back against the wall. Ginny wrapped her arms around Hermione's neck while Hermione placed her hands on Ginny's hips, leaning into the redhead. After a few seconds Hermione opened her mouth to allow Ginny's tongue to massage her own. Hermione smiled at the feeling of Ginny's body pressed against her. She had never felt so comfortable in her life. Finally Hermione broke the kiss, resting her forhead against Ginny's and both focused on controlling their breathing. Hermione opened her eyes to see Ginny looking back at her smiling.

"Hey," Ginny said quietly. Hermione smiled also and gently rubbed up and down Ginny's sides.

"Hey," she replied. "I think we should talk, while we still can." Ginny nodded but pressed her lips against Hermione's again. After a few moments, Hermione broke the kiss again.

"Ok Gin, I'm serious this time. I think we should talk."

"Ok, you're right." Hermione stood up and they both straightened out their clothes. They headed outdoors and walked towards the lake. They casually bumped into each other as they walked and Hermione was the first to speak.

"How are you?" she asked quietly. Ginny smiled, knowing the hidden meaning in Hermione's question. She wasn't just asking how Ginny was feeling; she was asking if she was ok with what happened that morning and just a few minutes before. She blushed and looked at the ground.

"Good."

"Yeah?" Ginny noticed the hopefullness in Hermione's voice.

"Really good," she said looking up at her friend. Both girls blushed and smiled. "So, what does this mean now?"

"I don't know. I'm not used to this. You know that I've never had a real boyfriend, let alone a girlfriend. This is so weird," Hermione said, causing Ginny to look at the ground.

"If you're uncomfortable..." the redhead started quietly. Hermione stopped walking and placed her hand on Ginny's arm.

"It's weird. But it's a good weird. I just mean that..." she groaned. "I don't know what I mean." Both girls were silent for a moment; Ginny because she thought that Hermione was changing her mind and Hermione because she couldn't put her thoughts into words.

"But its good," Hermione finally finished. Ginny looked up.

"Are you sure?" the redhead asked nervously. She knew exactly how she felt about the situation and she had never felt this way before. Hermione took Ginny's hand and led her to a heavily wooded area. Once they were out of sight from anyone that might be watching, Hermione wrapped her arms around Ginny's neck and pulled her into a kiss.

"I'm absolutely sure Ginny," Hermione said with a grin. Ginny pulled her back into the kiss and a while later they headed back up to the castle to join the boys.

For the first couple days, it was like a game. They would brush against each other's arms when in public instead of holding hands. They tried to act normal around people since they weren't ready to tell anyone just yet. They didn't think that the boys suspected anything, and they were glad because they didn't know what they were going to say. When at meals or any other table, one of them would 'accidently' find the other's foot underneath. Once all their classes were done, they would meet somewhere; sometimes the library, down by the lake, or the Gryffindor common room. Whenever they had a few seconds alone, one would lean over and pull the other into a kiss. The kisses were always quick and innocent, so that if they got caught they could say they slipped or something, but it always left them both wanting more.

They would head down to dinner and sit next to each other. Sometimes Hermione would reach down the table for something and brush her arm across Ginny's chest, or Ginny would slip her hand under the table and gently caress Hermione's thigh. This night, Hermione was pretending to whisper something to Ginny, and instead she flicked her tongue out and gently nibbled on the redhead's earlobe. Ron noticed the weird smile on Ginny's face and he asked her about it.

"Oi, Gin...what is Hermione telling you to make you grin like that?" Hermione heard him and smiled against Ginny's ear, as the redhead's eyes flew open. She tried not to blush as Hermione turned towards Ron, smirking.

"Wouldn't you like to know Ronald." Ginny laughed, caught Hermione's eyes and then Hermione laughed too. Ron looked confusedly from the two girls, over to Harry, who just shrugged.

"Girls..." Ron said, shaking his head. Hermione looked over at Ginny and grinned. Ginny yawned.

"Hey Hermione, I'm kinda tired. Do you mind if I crash in your room tonight after we study?" Hermione raised an eyebrow slightly but not enough so that anyone other than Ginny could see it. They had fallen into a routine of snogging in Hermione's room for a while and then Ginny would reluctantly go back to her own room. She had never asked to stay the night and Hermione could feel her stomach tighten. It wasn't that she didn't want Ginny to stay, it was that she was extrememly terrified of what might happen. She was excited beyond belief, but still completely terrified.

"Of course Ginny. You can stay whenever you want."

"Wait! Study? We were supposed to study?!" Ron asked frantically. "What test is it?"

"Relax Ronald. Ginny is the one with the test. I'm going to help her study this weekend." Ginny smiled. The only thing I'm going to be studying tonight is the way your tongue feels against mine, she thought as Hermione continued. "She, unlike you, actually cares about her grades."

"I care about my grades..." Hermione raised her eyebrows at him. "I do...I just find girls more interesting." Ginny smiled again and let her hand slide down to Hermione's thigh. She noticed when Hermione jumped slightly. She lowered her hand to where Hermione's skirt stopped, just above her knees. She then inched her hand back up, but this time, slipping it under Hermione's skirt.

"Well shoving your tongue down Lavender's throat may be more interesting than studying but how will that help you after you graduate?" Hermione gasped slightly but only Ginny noticed. Ron mumbled something, but Hermione's only focus was on the hand that was slowly inching up her thigh.

"Whatever Ron," she said a little more breathy than she intended. "Shall we head upstairs Ginny? I'm not that hungry anymore," she said without looking at her tormentor. If she looked at Ginny, she knew should would start blushing badly and she had to fight the urge to attack Ginny's mouth with her own. She walked slowly out of the Greath Hall and could feel Ginny's eyes burning into her back. She could feel her cheeks reddening as she walked past the rest of the students, and when they were finally out into the main hallway, she turned towards Ginny.

"You are evil, Ginevra Weasley. Pure evil." Ginny grinned.

"Oh come on. No one noticed."

"That's not the point."

"Come on, let's get upstairs and start studying," Ginny said wagging her eyebrows and dragging Hermione up the stairs.

"Do I even want to know what your version of studying is?" Hermione asked suspiciously, although she already knew the answer.

"You will know and I know for a fact that you will enjoy it."

"You are as bad as your brother."

"Hey now, that's not very nice. I could just go back to my room and not even..."

"No," Hermione said quickly. Ginny just grinned and continued to hurry towards Hermione's room.
