"So?... How was it?" Ron asked harry silently sitting beside him in one of their engineering major classes.

"It went so good... we actually almost went all the way, she was crazy... she wanted more. But then I said no, we can do it tomorrow" harry said proudly.

Ron who was nodding all along to whatever he is saying, finally stopped nodding his head and looked at him.

"Okay...Good. Now, what really happened?" He asked knowingly.

Harry sighed "It was a nightmare... she is not the pansy i was expecting at all".

"Well... what were you expecting?".

"Um... what the others call her... you know...".

"A slut?" Ron asked seriously and he nodded "Oh, come on seriously Harry... been friends with her for three months and think her like that"

"Hey...I didn't call her slut, did i?"

"I don't know who called her, but from my experience she is definitely not".

"Well, we wanted to do it, then dudley started to interrupt us constantly trying to figure out what we are doing... he even asked is this my girlfriend, i front of me... can you believe that".

Ron laughed out loud, the whole class looked at him "Sorry" he mumbled guilty at the professor.

"However... we decided to take the next session in her house, to avoid dudley...Hey, how was yours... did something happened?...I don't want any deep details now..."

Ron rolled his eyes "Don't worry, nothing happened"

"Wha... Why?"

"Don't tell her I said that... but she was scared or something i think"

"I'm sure she was nervous... what about you weren't you nervous"

"Hell, yeah. Of course I am. It's hermione after all"

"And... is there something special about hermione then" harry asked raising his eyebrows, ron scoffed.

"Oh, come on harry. I know what you are doing... she doesn't like me in that way"

"Okay... How about you. Be honest"

"Well... she is your best friend. A good girl, not like the others in here... Pretty, amazing, wonderful and..."

"Okay... That's enough" harry chuckled.

"See.. i know what you are thinking. But I'm definitely not into her and neither she is, so stop this now" ron said seriously.

"Woah...Okay, big guy. Don't eat me now" harry said and they both went back to learn the lessons.

"... and then i had to stop him from kissing me, his uncle came upstairs to make him know that it's been late. I think he forgot anything other than us" pansy told and laughed nervously.

Hermione, Ginny, luna, Pansy and astoria were now sitting in the girls toilet counter sharing their stories.

Of course hermione lied about what happened yesterday and with the other's story and reaction, she is sure everybody is lying.

"Have anyone one of you really done anything?" Hermione asked.

Everyone looked down except ginny, who was smiling happily.

"Oh, please. It's not a big surprise you kissed your boyfriend" astoria said and ginny smirked.

"Atleast i done it... come on it's just kissing. What are you guys are afraid of?" Ginny said cooly.

"She is right. We have to do this, it's just kissing. If we couldn't do it now, what are going to do in the future" luna said thoughtfully.

All five of them sighed and decided to work up the courage to kiss their partners.

Hermione felt her stomach clench she felt nervous and excited at the same time, on the thought of being close with ron, what if he didn't want to kiss her, she thought.

"Hey seamus, what happened... why were you absent yesterday" dean said running up to catch up with seamus.

He don't know why, but he felt like seamus is avoiding him for some reason and it is disturbing him...lightly.

"Oh...I had a headache. That's why"

"It's alright, I'm going to canteen... are you coming we could have your favourite ice cr..."

"Uhh... Look Dean, i must be going on, i have test the next period. So sorry, we'll meet later"

With that he practically ran away from him leaving a bewildered dean staring at him.

Hermione, Harry and Ron were in the library, she was helping them with their subject doing some engineering maths.

Of course it wasn't her subject, even though. But she wanted to help them as they were getting so low marks in it.

But she is not able to concentrate on anything other than the lips of ronald Weasley.

It had two week since the girls promised themselves to atleast Finish with the first step of kissing.

But the only two to do it was ginny, Astoria and surprisingly Luna.

It's not like she didn't think luna was crazy, but... she didn't think she will be behind her in anything.

Ron had been visiting her almost every day now except weekends, where they will be so much work in their store.

They both had spent time doing homework, but she would eventually drop it and join to play him some games.

She was surprised by the calmness she felt from taking the brake from studying, the time spent with him was so relaxing.

Surprisingly her parents liked Ron's company too. Her father was so suspicious at first, because of the obvious reason of they are teenagers, but eventually gave up.

She could sometimes see they talking animatedly, she was not surprised to see them playing chess, since her father was a great chess player like Ron.

He even brought his father and mother once, where it started as a formal visit end ended up as four adults turned into teenagers, drinking and enjoying their time. Now arthur and molly weasley are the best friends of her parents.

They even invited vernon and petunia to join them next time.

Everything was good except the main reason he was visiting her.

She is so scared to kiss Ron, yes of course they are paired up to learn about...Well...sex.

But what if he didn't want to, maybe that's why he always playing games... so that he could distract her. But it's not her case the more time she spent her time with him, she is getting more tempted to kiss him, sometimes he caught her staring at his face, especially lips. Which was so embarrassing.

She don't know how many minutes have passed, but she know she had been staring at his lips like a hawk.

Harry calling her name, did brought her from her train of thoughts and she turned around to the direction of the voice.

"Mione?... you okay?" Harry asked concerned.

"Yeah... Of course i am...Why?" She asked him self consciously.

"Well... your face is so red and you were staring at ron like he is an alien or something" he asked.

She looked at ron, whose ears were red, he was looking at ceiling as if there wasn't one before.

"Ah... I'm j-just looking, if he is doing it Right or not" she said cautiously, not wanting to give away the truth.

"Yeah... right" harry snorted.

"Alright... That's it... get out from here, I'm not going to teach me anymore today" she said outraged by Harry's comment.

"Uh... This is a library" Harry said perplexed.

"So?" She snapped. He lifted his hands defensively and stood up, ron did too.

"You had to open your mouth" she heard ron saying to harry, when they were leaving.

It had been few minutes, they gone and she still couldn't get the picture of Ron's lips out of her mind.

"Hi" she heard a voice beside her, she looked up to see viktor sitting there.

They have been chatting since the next day of him asked her number. They are just friends of course, he passes memes and ask about her studies.

She replies in just one words, she doesn't have anything particular to talk with him.

"Hi" Hermione said with a smile, which didn't reached her eyes.

"What is that" he asked pointing to the book in her hands.

"Oh... It's engineering mathematics".

"But you are not engineering, are you?".

"Oh... no, just teaching my friends"

"Your friend, you mean...harry potter?"

"Yes... do you know him" Hermione asked.

For a minute he looked, his facial expressions changed into something resembles hate and then he continued his usual smiling.

"Oh, yes. He is your... best friend...Right?" Viktor asked with hopeful eyes.

"Yes... my childhood best friend"

"Good" viktor said relieved, she nodded and took her own books out to read, hoping he would just get the hint and leave. But he didn't.

There was silence for few minutes, were viktor just sat there still watching her reading. It made her squirm uncomfortably.

She looked up to see him watching her intently "Um... can i help you with something?".

"You look beautiful" he said suddenly and she blushed, having not experienced no one saying something like this before her face.

She smiled awkwardly "Um... Thanks" she said and went back to reading.

"Usually, I don't like to talk with these girls here... They are gold diggers in my opinion... but you are different".

She looked at him confused and he continued "You don't even look at these guys like them, you keep on doing just your work. While they chase me around every where ever i go, you don't even mind me. Of course there are other girls like Pansy Parkinson And lavender brown, they both are pretty but they are bitches, pansy sleeps with whoever she wants and lavender well she thinks she is the princess of the campus, because she is so rich... Don't date anyone" he scoffed.

"So?" She asked impatient. Where is he going on with this, she thought.

"I'm just saying, you know. I like you character. Maybe I want to be more than friends with you... like boyfriend, girlfriend" he said softly, beaming at her, with hopeful eyes.

She sighed angrily, but bit her lips to not cause a scene in the library.

"Look...Viktor, I'm so flattened with your praise and attention. But I'm not interested in love...I hope you understand".

He smirked "Well... Don't worry, I'm still be around here, waiting. Atleast we can be Friends Right?"

She smiled "Sure".

He smiled too and walked away.

Viktor was not just in like with Hermione. He know he is in love with her.

From the moment he saw her, he knows. She was pretty, she was different, different then other girls. Focusing on her works, not focusing on who to flirt with, like some slag. She is decent, just like he liked.

He came to know, everything about her and the only thing nagging him is harry Potter, her 'childhood best friend'.

He doesn't like that two guys, who always with her in breaks. He doesn't feel challenged by the red head, because he is not harry Potter, her best friend nor he is not even rich. His father owns a supermarket, so if she selects one of the two, it would be surely the potter guy, who is rich like her.

Viktor is not worrying about rich, his father is a big businessman in Bulgaria, they manufacture glasses and transport world wide. So he is practically 'born with a silver spoon'. guy
