Chapter Ten

I felt warm arms wrap around me and I leaned into the masculine figure that had just snuck up behind me.
"Hey Kyle." I smiled.
"Hey beautiful." He whispered in my ear as he leaned down and kissed me on the cheek. Happiness rushed through me and my cheeks flushed. Me and Kyle had been dating for two weeks now and I couldn't be happier except for the daunting feeling hanging over me, anticipating the moment where he brings up meeting Ron and Harry again. I had managed to avoid it for two weeks now but I knew it was going to come up in a conversation at some point.
"What are you thinking?" He broke my train of thoughts.
"What? Oh nothing." I dismissed him. He turned me round and looked me in the eye seizing my shoulders.
"Hermione..." He trailed off.  I diverted my eyes but he grasped my chin and tugged me so I had to look at him. I gave a short smile.
"Just how happy you make me feel." A flash of something indecipherable crossed his eyes but disappeared as quickly as it appeared. He smiled back and pressed his soft lips against mine.
"Me too." He grabbed my hand and dragged me down the corridor.
"So, I was thinking we could go out later." He wondered. I grinned.
"Oh really?" I asked looking up at him. "Where?"
"Honeydukes?" he questioned but I didn't have any choice anyway unless we stayed at Hogwarts and testing the possibility of Ron seeing us, I stayed away from that idea.
"Sounds good."
"Cool well I have free periods for the rest of the day after lunch..."
"Me too, wanna go at lunch?"
"Definitely." He kissed me on the cheek and I left for my next lesson, already counting down the minutes.

I sighed as I ventured down the corridor. I had been excited all day since that morning, i know i had spent just over two weeks with him but i still feel excited when i get to see him. Except this excitement surging through me all day had also been distracting me from my work so I hadn't been so attentive as I usually am. My negative thoughts abruptly dispersed when Kyle came into view. His becoming figure strolled down an abandoned corridor and I crept up behind him as quietly I could. I was surprised that he hadn't heard me because I didn't exactly have the best footing in the world, but he seemed engrossed in his own world.
"Boo!" I bounced on his back but I was bewildered when he swiftly spun around grabbed me by the throat and pushed me up into the concrete wall behind us, smacking my head into it. The anger shone out of his eyes and I couldn't breathe, I just froze, shocked.
"Kyle?" I choked out, tears building up. His eyes flashed with recognition and surprise and his face twisted with regret. I couldn't believe what had just happened, Kyle, my beautiful loving boyfriend, had just turned into another kind of creature, an angry creature. He let go immediately and stepped away. I rubbed at my neck in pain and found a sudden interest in floor below us, backing against the wall.
"Hermione." He reached out to touch me but I flinched away.
"Hermione stop that! I'm sorry I didn't know it was you." I slowly looked up again and as soon I saw his perfect eyes, I melted and fell in love all over again.
"It's okay" I said quietly. He pulls me into a hug and I let him, squeezing my eyes shut as the tears went away.
"Come on, let's go to honeydukes."

I tried to warm up my hands by rubbing them and the snow fell down around me. I looked up at Kyle as we walk down the street. He looked like an angel, the pure white snow behind him. I smiled as happiness filled me and he smiled back. He grabbed my hand and enclosed it in his hands blowing on it. I leaned into him and he wrapped an arm round me. We carried on walking till we were making our way across a snow-covered field. I swung our hands like a little kid and he gave a low chuckle. I felt weightless and all my worries go away whenever I spend time with him. I didn't know I could be that happy. I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice the rock in front of me and, catching my foot on it, I fell straight over. Hanging onto Kyle I pulled him over too and we fell into the snow. We laughed and I chucked snow in his face. He gasped, his face dripping. I squealed and started to run away but I wasn't quick enough because he tugged me down. The air around us suddenly changed and his face leaned into mine. I bit my lip and looked down at his plump pink ones the anticipation overpowering. All of sudden he pulled away and slammed a handful of snow right in my face.
"Oh my god! Kyle!" He laughed and ran away. I quickly got up and jumped on his back and he ran across the field with me as we laughed.

"Hey guys" I sung as I entered the Gryffindor common room.
"Woah, what made you so happy?" Ron questioned.
"Am I not allowed to be happy?"
"No. I hate school." Harry moaned as he crossed his arms. I sat on his lap and pinched his cheeks.
"Aw is Harry wawwy sad?" I pouted. He scowled and slapped my hand away.
"Yes. It was not a good day." I laughed and took a seat next to Harry, opposite to Ron.
"Where have you been recently Hermione?" Ron questioned.
"What do you mean?"
"Well Harry and I tried to find you at lunch but we couldn't and that's not the only time either."
"Sorry guys, I've just been caught up with school work recently." I sighed taking my tie off and unbuttoning my top button. I had to get changed again when I got home otherwise Harry or Ron would suspect something. I know that sounds really bad but I just don't want to see Ron hurt.
"How have you been? I haven't seen you in ages?" Ron asked. I shrugged.
"Okay I guess, yo-" Harry interrupted me.
"What's that?" He asked in a demanding tone. I turned to him.
"What's what?"
"That." He tugged at my collar.
"What is it?" I felt around on my neck.
"There's bruises on your throat Hermione." My tummy does summersaults. It must have been Kyle from earlier.
"What?" Ron snapped and leaned forward peering at my neck.
"Oh, it's nothing." I dismissed, pulling up my collar again.
"That isn't nothing Hermione." Harry told me.
"Who did it?" Ron raised his voice.
"Hermione, what happened?" I stood up from the table.
"Nothing! Nothing happened, okay? Just drop it!" Ron and Harry looked up at me, shocked as I walked away up the dormitory stairs.

"Hermione?" Kyle questioned as I sat in his arms on my bed.
"Hmm?" I felt his warm breath on my neck as he spoke.
"Can we tell Ron and Harry now?" I tensed up, this amazing day was turning into a catastrophe.
"I mean, it's like your embarrassed by our relationship or something..." He trailed off.
"No of course not Kyle."
"Then what?" At that moment I gave up, I was sick of keeping him from them and lying to them all the time and if Ron doesn't like it then, tough he's got to learn to accept it. I turned around.
"Ya know what? Let's do it." I grabbed his hand and pulled him off my bed. I led him down the corridor and pushed open Harry and Ron's door. They looked up.
"Hey Hermione, I'm sorry about earlier it's just-" Harry started.
"It's fine." I interrupted Harry. " I have something to tell you two."
"What is it Hermione?" Ron asked. "Who's this?" He looked at Kyle and then down to our holding hands. I swallowed hard and in the spur of the moment, I burst out with it.
"This is Kyle. My boyfriend." I told them. They just sat there, gaping. Ron got up and pulled the door open violently.
"I hope you two will be happy." He snarled and my heart broke.
"Ron" I called out for him but he had already left. I turned back to Harry in desperation, who gave a small smile and shrugged.
That was when I knew I should have savoured all the moments with Ron because I knew I would never get him back.
