Hermione's Girl Crush

Part 32: Secret Place

Hermione waited across the hall of Lilith. She watched as the students passed. The large mass of people making their way to their classes slowly began to thin as she waited.

 It was well into her next class before Lilith left the classroom, the halls at this point almost completely empty. Lilith had her satchel slung over her shoulder. She closed the door to the classroom rather softly as she approached Hermione with a smile, 

"There better be a good reason for me to skipping class right now," Hermione gave a smirk as she 'complained' to Lilith. Lilith let out a little chuckle, 

"Trust me, it's worth it." Her tone as hushed as she looked down at Hermione,  just inches apart from each other.  Lilith held out a hand. With little hesitation Hermione took it and was soon dragged by Lilith down the halls of the castle. 

Lilith lead the both of them through the twisting corridors for what seemed like hours to Hermione. They didnt speak a word to each other as they walked the halls.

Lilith stopped abruptly at an intersection of corridors and turned to Hermione grabbing her other hand, Hermine's face flushed red, 

"I have a little secret place I would like to show you," Lilith tried to hide her smile as she spoke, pulling Hermione through a plain looking door. 

On the other side of the door was a rather unamusing broom closet, 

"You kept me waiting and had me skip class for a broom closet!" Hermione was rather underwhelmed although, she quite enjoyed the idea of being in the small private place alone with Lilith, 

"Come now Hermione, you're smarter than to just see what's on the surface," Lilith gave a little smirk as she teased Hermione. Hermione flushed an even deeper shade of red as Lilith teased her. 

Lilith waited a moment just looking into Hermione's eyes before pulling on one of the hooks on the wall. The sound of heavy stone moving filled the small closet as the walls opened to show another whole room. 

Hermione stood in awe as Lilith gave an excited chuckle and pulled her into the room. It's wasn't a large room by any means but along the far wall were large windows looking out to the beautiful starry night sky. A mattress lay on the floor and some other half assed furniture was scattered about. Hermione looked up to a proud looking Lilith, 

"So...? What do you think?" The excitement built up in Lilith as she waited for Hermione to respond. Hermione shrugged, 

"It's alright," She tried desperately to hold back laughter as she watched Lilith's face drop, "I'm Kidding! It's freaking amazing!" Hermione playfully hit Lilith's arm. Lilith gave a sigh and a laugh and returned the small hit. 

Hermione let out another laugh as she grabbed Lilith's arm and pulled herself closer to the taller witch, 

"Show me more!" She tried to move the much larger girl with little success. Lilith regained her balance holding onto Hermione and with a little laugh showed her around the little observatory room.
