New Happiest Memory

Hermione placed the cushions into a pile at the far end of the room as she tidied up after their latest Dumbledore's Army meeting.

As far as she was aware she was completely alone, and she revelled in the silence to continue to work on the Patronus charm, something that she found she was having a lot of difficulty mastering.

Despite Harry's assurances that each and every one of them would manage to get there eventually in time, Hermione couldn't help but feel irked by the length of time it was taking.

She closed her eyes and thought back to her eleventh birthday when her parents had taken her to see her very first musical and how much she had enjoyed that day, and allowed the memory to fill her mind and soul.

A smile crept onto her face as she raised her wand and whispered, "Expecto Patronum."

Her eyes fluttered open as a silvery form sprouted from the tip of her wand, and took the form of an otter.

She watched in awe as it travelled around the room.

"Merlin was showing off when he created you," a voice declared from behind her.

Her concentration broke as she whirled around to see the form of Lee Jordan leaning against the book case with a broad grin on his face.

"Lee you startled me," Hermione whispered. "I thought everyone left half an hour ago."

"I thought I'd hang back and see if you needed any help, but then I got so lost in your beauty that I couldn't help but watch," Lee confessed with a nervous laugh.

Lee moved closer towards Hermione and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, and locked eyes with her.

The pair of them felt a magnetic pull towards each other, and before either one of them knew it their lips were touching and moving against each other.

"I think I have a new happiest memory now," Hermione admitted, as they broke apart.

"As do I," Lee agreed, as he took her by the hand and led her from the Room of Requirement.
