Thank God for Cupid and Valentine, Part One

Sitting outside of Honeydukes with a two pound bag of wizard treats in his hand, Ron stared out in to the alleyway we had disappeared into and waited. It seemed like ages until we finally came out and he stood up.

"Bloody hell, I thought you'd never come out," Ron snapped. I laughed.

"Come on, Ron. Let's head back," I said and we threw the Invisibility Cloak back on and headed for the area where the tunnel to Hogsmeade was located.

"So, are you two like glue and paper yet?" Ron asked, nudging my elbow. I laughed and looked at Hermione. She was blushing like mad.

"Maybe, maybe not," Hermione said coolly, shrugging. I laughed and smiled.

"Yeah, so shut up," I said.

"Ron shrugged and tapped his ears so he was singing to one of his favourite songs. He had done the music ears to block out our conversation, and give us some privacy. You had to love Ron.

"So Hermione, tomorrow is Valentine's Day," I said, raising an eyebrow and smiling suggestively. "What do you want to do?"

"Hmm, I don't know. I don't have a date to the Cupid Dance yet, so maybe we could, you know, go together?" she said. I smiled and wrapped my arm around her, wincing as Ron started to sing high notes.

"Sounds great," I said, elbowing Ron's rib. He glared at me and started to hum. "But other than that, what do you want to do?"

"Maybe we could go for a walk or something. I don't know. I haven't had a Valentine since the fourth year with Viktor Krum," she said. Ron's body seemed to tense up at this, and I wondered if he had heard her.

"Okay, whatever you want to do, just tell me," I said and kissed the top of her head. When we arrived at Hogwarts, we took off the cloak and ran upstairs.

"Okay, guys. I'm off to bed. So very tired," Ron said. He hugged Hermione and slapped my back in a friendly way before giving us each a smile and heading upstairs.

I looked at Hermione and kissed her on the lips lightly. "Night," I said and walked upstairs as well. Sighing, Hermione blew me a kiss and walked back to her dorm.

I felt like an ice cube when I woke up the next day. Checking my clock, I felt like I wanted to go back to sleep.

Five-fifteen! You've got to be kidding me, I thought

I wrapped my blanket around myself and went downstairs to see someone in the common room. They had slightly-messy straight brown hair and a slim figure, wearing a red and gold bathrobe.

"Who's there?" she asked suddenly, turning around and jumping. I smiled. It was my Hermione.

"Hey. It's just me," I said, sitting down beside her on the couch. She sighed in relief.

"Good, because I thought it was Parvati looking for me again. You know she snores? It's so loud and I couldn't sleep because of it," she said. I laughed and stared at her expression. Obviously, something else was bugging her.

"What's wrong?" I asked, placing my hand on top of hers. Hermione sighed and turned to look in my green eyes, smiling.

"How can you always tell?" she asked. I shrugged and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her towards me. She rested her head on my chest.

"You smell good," she said, moving her face in to my chest.

"What else is new? Now what's wrong?" I asked, smiling when Hermione laughed quietly.

"Okay, it's about today. We get the whole day off to celebrate it with our guys, girls, whoever, and it just seems silly. I mean, I'm probably not going to get anything anyway," she said, turning her head. I put my hands on her shoulders and moved her back.

"What do you mean 'I'm probably not going to get anything'? You have me! You're lucky!" I said. Hermione laughed.

"Besides from you and Ron," she said.

I looked at her, puzzled. "You have many, many friends 'Mione. Parvati, Lavender, Ginny, Padama, and the list goes on," I said and took my hand to place it underneath her chin. "I can't even tell how you wouldn't even have friends. They're all so lucky to have such a beautiful friend like you."
At this, Hermione smiled and moved in closer to me, placing her hands on one of my knees and moving them in a circular motion.

I smiled. "Can I help you?" I asked. Hermione pouted her lips and made herself look utterly irresistible. Then, she took my face in her hands and kissed me, moving her shoulders at the same pace as her mouth.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her down on top of me, making her hands go down to my back. I kissed her deeply and tenderly, opening and closing my mouth. She joined in on this and soon and we lay like that for a while on the common room couch, embraced in one another's arms with our mouths moving in perfect time.

Hermione sat up and wiped her mouth. "Wow," she said as I sat up as well. I smiled and leaned in to kiss her neck. I moved my mouth down her neck and rested it on the area above her chest. She smiled as I looked up at her with big emerald green eyes and let me kiss her neck some more. I couldn't help it. She was gorgeous.

I stopped kissing her and sat back. "Go back to bed," I said. Hermione yawned and stretched her arms above her head, poking out her chest. I smirked.

"Nah, let's just crash here," she suggested. I propped up a pillow against the arm rest of the couch and lied down on the couch, pulling Hermione down to lay beside me. I wrapped the blanket around us and started to doze off when I felt Hermione's mouth on my neck.

"My turn," she said when I opened an eye.
"If you say so," I said, and closed my eyes again. A moan escaped my lips as her mouth lined my throat with kisses and sucks. Her lips felt amazing against my skin, and I started to fall asleep immediately.

"I love you, Harry," I heard her say before I fell to sleep.
