Sadly, There Is More Than Us

{3} Connection

I quickly wipe the tears from my cheeks. "Yes. I'm fine. Thank you". 

She holds my hands in hers and sits down next to me. "My first day was very overwhelming too. I understand. I suppose I can only imagine how hard it is to join four years into schooling but, I came only ever knowing the muggle world and so I'm sure tha-"

"Muggleworld?" I ask, "You're a Mudblood?".

 Her face drops. Her kind smile leaves and is replaced by a defensive yet hurt scowl. "Muggleborn Y/n, yes I am", She drops my hands, "And all have you know-". 

"Muggleborn. Yes. Of course, I'm so sorry." I quickly backtrack. " I promise Hermione I meant no offense. You have to understand, I haven't met many people my age and the people I have well, they're not the kindest." She gives me a sympathetic smile. "I was just surprised. I haven't met many mud-.. Muggleborns, Muggleborns. I havn't met many muggleborns and yeah. I'm sorry" 

Seeing her be as hurt as she was cut me deep. I'd never want a single bad thing to ever happen to such a divine girl, much less be the cause of it. But Muggleborn. She's muggleborn. Just another reason mother would never approve. 

"Would you like to talk about home, Y/N?" she asks. She wipes another tear from my cheek.

 "Not in the slightest" I tell her. She gives me  a pitiful smile. 

"What has you so upset then?" She is staring into my eyes. "Why are you down here?" 

I change the subject. She knows exactly what I'm doing but allows it. She smiles, "I like to sit down here too, when I'm upset. I am not really sure why but, I had a feeling you'd be here too tonight" She looks into the fire and pauses before she continues again " When I met you today, in the train, I felt completely charmed by you y'know. Like I've known you for years" she looks to the floor in embarrassment. "That must sound so stupid" she says.

"not at all" I tell her as I turn her face to mine. We are both so close to each other now. What is happening to me? 

"I've been very anxious returning to Hogwarts this year and when I'm near you Y/N,  It is like all my worries float away" she says. 

She leans in and kisses me on my lips. I have never felt this way before. It's like fireworks are exploding around me. She leans onto me and pulls me closer with her arms wrapped around my neck. I push her off of me. Both of us are breathing heavily and have stood up completely.

 "I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable" she pleads quickly.

 My eyes tear up. That was the best kiss of my life and yet it only lasted a few seconds. But this is wrong! I can't do this. My head is in a panic. Hermione is still rambling off apologies as I stare into her eyes.  " I understand if you are confused or if I've overstepped and I promise I-" 

I grab her face and kiss her again. I can feel her smile against my lips as she kisses me back. Our bodies against each other, she guides me back onto the sofa and straddles me, barely pulling away for breath. Her tongue touches my bottom lip and we start French kissing. I pull back slightly once again. 

Hermione stares into my eyes, her hands still in my hair. She smiles at me. "

I've never kissed a girl before" I say "I shouldn't be" I continue. 

"Does it feel wrong?" she asks.

 "Nothing has ever felt more right" I respond and she giggles. 

"I've kissed some girls, I won't lie and It's not wrong Y/N, but none have ever felt as good as this." She says blushing. "oh Merlin, look at me!" she laughs awkwardly, "What am I doing? I'm being so forward. I just met you. I promise I'm not usually like this". She gets off from my lap and sits beside me. 

"I'd better go and get some sleep" I say, "I have classes tomorrow".  I awkwardly walk to my room, holding my elbows and leaving Hermione alone in the common room.  What an eventful day this has been...
