Potter, Be Mine

Hogsmeade Part 2

Harry's Point of View 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I walked over to Hermione and Ron's table. They were laughing while drinking Butter Beer. I really loved these two. They make such a nice couple. 

" Oh, hey Harry." Hermione said, looking up at me.

" Hey. I just wanted to ask your guys opinion on something."

" Ya sure. What is it" asked Hermione. 

" Well, it's kind of embarrassing." I admitted.  

" Oh, come off it! For Dumbeldore's sake, we have known you for eight years! We are all best friends in vase you haven't noticed." Ron chimed in, taking a sip of his Butter Beer. Hermione and I looked at him.

" For Dumbledor's sake?" asked Hermione, trying hard not to laugh. But I couldn't hold it in. I burst out laughing and soon Hermione joined in. 

" What? I'm unique!" Ron defended. But not even he could say that last part wasn't funny. He laughed too. 

" Well, anyways, what is it Harry? You can trust us." Hermione said. 

" Umm...OK. Well..." I trailed off. But I really needed their opinion on this. So, before I could lose the courage once again, I blurted out, " I want to kiss Katie." I looked at the floor, my face turning as red as Ron's hair. 

" Blimey Harry!" Ron said in disbelief.

" Wow. Harry... Wow." Hermione said looking away.

" Well? I don't know what to do. I mean, I really like Katie. But I don't know if that's too far for now. Hell, I don't even know if she actually does like me back. I always have these thoughts that she is only pretending because she feels bad for me or something."

" Aww... Harry! That's so cute." Hermione said with a look of sympathy on her face. 

" Oh, shut up." I said.

" No, really Harry! I can tell you now that girls love it when guys actually show their feelings." I went pink and Hermione went on. " We really do! That's so sweet! And you could do with some lessons from Harry here." she said, glaring at Ron. 

" Thanks a lot Harry. I'll never hear the end of this now. And, I thought you already kissed Katie." Ron said. 

" Ya, I have. But that was different. This one has to mean something real. I mean, the other one was nice too, but... Anyways, what should I do?"

" Well I can tell you that she is not pretending. Sometimes she won't even stop talking about how amazing you are. It gets quite annoying, actually. But she is happy so I put up wit it." I went pink. Hermione continued to look at me admiringly and shooting Ron murder glares. Ron took this as a joke.

" How often does Katie have to put with you not shutting up about how amazing I am?" Ron asked, only half kidding.

" Oh, well there has been quite a few times. Oh, wait. Sorry, I meant to say never." I snorted and Hermione chuckled at her own joke. 

" Oh, sure. I'll just have to ask Katie myself!" 

" Guys, seriously! What do I do?" I asked, now getting anxious. 

" I say go for it. Not much of a difference if you ask me." Ron said.

" Well, there is one. I kinda...maybe....want to make-out" I said, turning even redder than all the Weasley's hair combined.
