CHAPTER 2
'Noice and Kisses'

Harry's eyes fluttered open, a smell of roses and perfume filled his nostrils, and a soft hand eased it's way down his cheek. "Hey..." he muttered roughly and without thinking lazily wrapped a warm hand around Hermione's waist, still lying down.

"Hey hero," Hermione whispered down to his ear. The hot air hitting his ear caused him to wake up and he slowly sat up, a hand still around her waist, sitting very close to her body.

"I'm far from a hero Hermione," Harry whispered roughly back into her ear causing her to bite her lip to seize a moan.

"You're a hero to me," and with that said Harry felt his heart leap in his chest.

"Hermione...I lo-" Harry was abruptly cut off by Ron's large yawn and he finalls woke up from his food coma.

"AHHH man...We there yet?" Ron lazily asked.

"YEAH!," Hermione snapped back clearly annoyed by the interuption

"Bloody hell..just a question.." Ron replied

"I'm sorry Ron. Anyway, I think we've stopped," Hermione looked outside the window at the now paused hills surrounding Hogwarts, "We must be here.

The trio sat in the large and beautiful dining hall awaiting Dumbeldore's normal welcoming speech to the students attending. Harry sat facing down at his food, moving it around, not eating a bite. The only thoughts running through his mind now was Voldemort getting to Hermione. How would he live with himself? Knowing that his thoughts caused Hermione's death. Hermione glanced up from across from him and leaned foward to whisper to him, "Harry," he looked up, "are you alright?"

"Yesss.." he replied with a slight edge to his tone, which they both noticed and he cleared his throat, "I'm, I'm fine Hermione really...just not that hungry," he lied.

"You really should eat Harry," She gave him a very "hermione-ish look" and he gazed deep into her eyes.

"Why? What's the need when I could be killed tomorrow Hermione?" She leaned back, almost astonished at his words.

"Well..you need your strength Harry, and ...I care about you...very very much." Hermione choked back tears, trying not to cause a scene, but the thought of Harry's dying was unbearable for her and her easily shown emotions. Harry quickly noticed the tears forming and tryed to soothe her, he reached across the table and grasped her elbow now propped up on the table.

"I know 'mione, I'm sorry, I'll eat," They stared into eachother's eyes, as if studying for an exam based on eachother's face.

"Thank you," Hermione smiled softly at him before he flashed his killer smile that caused her to swoon at the sight. 'He's so sweet' she thought, 'So innocent and caring'. Her thoughts were cut off by Dumbledore's powerful voice fil the hall. Both their heads shot away from eachother and to Dumbledore. After all this was going to be their last year with him. For some reason however, Harry was having trouble focusing on Dumbeldore...something very arousing was happening to his leg. A foot was running up and down his leg...He slowly looked up to find Hermione innocently still watching Dumbledore but he continued to watch her, knowing it had to be her because, well at least he hoped it was her, mainly because everyone were guys around them but also cause he desperatley wanted her. Harry coughed softly yet loud enough for Hermione to look his way.

"Hermione..." Harry leaned forward and whispered roughly to her, "what are you doing?" a certain part of him now reacting in an oh so harmonious way and was extremley ashamed by that.

"What?" She replied confused.

"Your--ahhh...your foot.ahhh." He whispered extremley rough back to her, loud enough for Ron to look their way with a pissed look on his face.

"Oh..." She looked under the table and gasped, "GOD!" Hermione screamed loudly and the gryffindor table looked towards her, but all she did was lower her head towards the table slightly hidding her blushing face. A few seconds passed and Hermione lifted her head again to Harry, "Harry, I thought that was the table leg...I'm sorry..." She muttered to him extremley embarrassed.

He was about to say 'Don't worry about it' yet suddenly something can over him and he instead said "Do it againn..." in an almost seductive yet rough way.

"What?!" Hermione responded shocked as she almost choked on her water.

"UHm...I'm sorry Hermione," Harry responded now back to his normal self, " I don't know what came over me...that was weird..."

"Oh..." Hermione looked back to Dumbeldore slightly disappointed, and he was now finished with his speech and she clapped, and Harry followed her lead.

The dining room cleared, Ron being the first ones to run out and Harry couldn't help but laugh knowing he had to be up to something. Harry looked to his right and saw Malfoy and his slytherin posse staring at him all with evil grins on their faces, Harry stared right back at Draco and couldn't help but let out a low angry growl at the thought that he's not that far off from his father Lucious. He quickly turned his gaze away from Malfoy and to his left at Hermione grabbing his hand to pull him faster out of the hall.

"Come on Harry, don't waste your time with them, you're too good for them," Hermione replied one hand intertwining with his, and her other holding onto his lower arm. He looked into her eyes and smiled and thought 'this girl can do no wrong'. They walked like this til they reached the top of the stairway that seperated into the boys and girl's dorms. Hermione leaned to Harry and giving him a soft kiss on his cheek, and she pulled back only a little to say, "Well, goodnight Harry..." and she lingered there, then got ready to turn towards the girl's dorms but his hand stoped her from moving. She looked up into his eyes and didn't see the soft, comforting eyes but instead saw something she couldn't describe...they seemed...darker for some reason, perhaps the light she assumed. But she thought she saw something else...lust? she thought for a split second before shaking the thought of him and her out of her mind not trying to get her hopes up.

"What if I don't want you to leave?" Harry leaned closer to her pressing his body against hers and whispered harshly in her ear. Hermione softly moaned and let her hands drape themselves on his strong muscular chest.

"I don't want you to leave either..." Hermione pulled back a little to look into his eyes, their faces barely two inches away. Hermione let her eyes flutter closed and leaned foward slowly. Harry's eyes now turned back to their normal light green and pulled back abruptly.

"God! Hermione...I'm I'm sorry, I don't know what's happening, that wasn't me," He replied to a Hermione with her lips still puckered and her eyes still closed. They slowly opened with frustration.

"What Harry?! What do you mean that wasn't you?!" Hermione replied quickly.

"It was me, but...that's not something I'd do normally..."

"So..we all need a change sometimes Harry..." As she leaned foward again and placed her hands on his shoulders, "This isn't very me now is it Harry?" Harry thought about that question and realized how differently Hermione deffinetly was acting, he'd only known the bookworm version of Hermione...not this side.

"Yeah, this is deffinetly a new side to you," Harry smiled sweetly to her wrapping his hands on her waist. A sudden flash went off in his mind again and his grasp became harder on her and he leaned foward and nibbeled the skin on her neck.

"Harrryy..." Hermione breathed deeply. But Harry pulled back YET AGAIN, which to be honest really pissed Hermione off.

"Hermione I'm sorry. I have to go!" Harry replied already halfway down the opposite hall to the girls.

"OH OH okay... Goodnight!" Hermione sceamed after him but he was already gone. 'Jeez...what's going on with him?' Hermione thought, 'he's differently different but...she liked it' Hermione lifted a hand to her neck and she could still feel his lips teasing her and let out a soft sigh and head off to bed.

You openly admit
The things you'd like more of from me
Somehow I find it attractive
That you won't censor anything

With you, there is no filter
To sugarcoat what is said
Even though I like your honesty
It won't lead me to your bed

So instead, go ahead and say it Even though you know
It makes me uncomfortable
Go ahead and say it
If you must make me blush
