Kiss

"WHAT?"

Hermione and Harry quickly broke apart, lips swollen and hair mussed. They spun around, scrabbling for a grip on something other than the other person. Both of them quickly froze as they saw the red-tinged face of Ron Weasley staring at them.

"YOU TWO?" He roared, spit spraying.

"Ron, calm down," Hermione tried.

"NO I WON'T CALM DOWN! I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!"

Hermione stood up. "Well I'm in love with Harry," she said stubbornly, "and there's nothing you can do to-"

"OF COURSE YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH BLOODY POTTER. HARRY POTTER GETS WHATEVER HE WANTS! FAME, MY PARENTS, MY GIRLFRIEND-!"

"I WAS NEVER WITH YOU, RON!" Hermione shrieked, tears in her eyes. "I'M NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND! YOU'RE AWFUL TO ME! DO YOU THINK I WANT TO BE CONSTANTLY PUT DOWN BY MY BOYFRIEND?!"

There was a silence. Ron broke it.

"I wanted your kisses."

Hermione stood tall and strong, eyes blazing defiantly. "Well you can't have them."
