Stay With Me [PLEASE READ DESC.]

Harry

          Suddenly, I saw Hermione walk away slowly from Cormac. She looked around and saw me, she smiled and waved a bit. I did the same back. Neville walked up to me, "Want a drink, Harry?"
I shook my head as I overview his white tuxedo. He walked away asking others if they want any drinks. I turned my head to look at Hermione, who was sneaking behind the curtain. I followed her without anyone noticing.
"Hermione, did you take Cormac?"
"Yes. But I never knew he was so clingy. I mean, I didn't want to go with him as relationship wise, but as-oh gosh he's coming."
Hermione went into the hallway that led through the curtains. Cormac suddenly came in, "Have you seen Hermione?"
"No actually I think she went over there."
"Okay thanks."
I looked where Hermione was. She was staring out of the window into the dark sky. I went through the curtains to her. Instead of staring at the skies I was looking at Hermione's brown curly hair. She turned her head to look at me, "What, Harry? Is there something in my hair?"
"No, Hermione."
I took hold of her hands and I kissed her. Her arms were wrapped around my neck as the stars beamed against her dress. "I love you Hermione..."
"I love you too...Harry..."
It felt like this night would last forever if we continued. We pulled away and spent the rest of the night talking and laughing beside the clear window.
          The next morning, I ran straight to Hermione and kissed her cheek. She blushed and giggled a bit and I smiled as I ran to first class. Ron and Hermione still wouldn't talk to each other. But I decided, halfway to class, to walk with Hermione. As we talked we heard Lavender run to Ron and hugged him saying, "Hi Won-Won~!"
Hermione rolled her eyes and continued to talk and not bother to even speak about "Won-Won".
After our classes I went straight to the common room and looked at a calendar. It was soon Valentine's Day. A day where girls get to show their love for boys and boys show their love for girls. A day where everyone is happy, almost. I Hermione was doing her assignments and Ron was busy snogging with Lavender outside of the common room in front of The Fat Lady. She made disgusted noises and told them to get a room. And so did the other portraits. They both shrugged and continued. I walked over to Hermione. She was writing on parchment, but it wasn't her assignment. She noticed I was here and immediately covered it up with her arm. "What are you doing, Hermione?" I asked.
"N-nothing..."
"Are you sure...?"
"Um...yes...?"
"Hmmm...okay then."
I kissed her cheek and she smiled and kissed my cheek back. I remembered that I needed to go to Dumbledore for our lessons. I waved goodbye to Hermione and dodged Lavender and Ron. I went to Dumbledore's office and the swiveling stairs went upwards. I walked over to Dumbledore and saw his hand was still black and looked dead. "Hello, Harry. Are you ready to learn more about Voldemort?"
"Yes, sir."
We went to the Pensieve. He poured out a memory that flowed into the water like a leaf being dropped into it and then it rippled with dark smokes swaying around, revealing Dumbledore as a younger man. He looked for Tom Riddle. And when he found him Tom turned his head. "Who are you?"
The young Tom said. "I am Professor Dumbledore. And we have a place for you in our school."
"What kind of school?"
"Wizards and witches. They're all there."
"Are...are you a wizard too?"
"Yes."
"Prove it."
Dumbledore's eyes were still calm and gentle. He took out his wand and casually waved it, then he put it back into his robe. The cabinet was on fire. "Go in, Tom. I think there's something in there for you."
Tom Riddle walked hesitantly to the cabinet and pulled out a letter. He observed it. Then, he went back to his bed. "I can make animals do things without training them and I can make people be hurt if I want to."
"Sound like a wizard. If you join this school you will address all the teachers as Professor."
Dumbledore stood up and started to walk out the door.
"I can talk to snakes. Is that normal?"
Dumbledore stopped in his footsteps and mumbled, "No..."
I pulled my head out and looked at Dumbledore. He just slightly nodded. "You are going to meet me next week, Harry."
I nodded and started to walk to the spiral stairs. "Oh Harry. I forgot to ask. Are you and Hermione..."
"Oh, no Professor. We're just friends."
I lied.
"Oh, just making sure."
I continued to go down the stairs and back to Hermione.
