First Kiss Chapter one. Trying to work up the nerve!

Chapter 190

Chapter 190

The next few weeks were very quiet for Harry, Hermione and Draco as they resumed their classes and work, and were feeling as though they were definitely missing something in their lives.

“I wish I could have kept them,” Hermione said over dinner one night as they sat eating dinner.

“Kept who?”

The three jumped looking toward the door to see Ron who gave a smile to Harry and Hermione with a slight nod to Draco.

“Some baby kittens I had found,” Hermione said quickly Ron walked in sitting across from her.

“Oh, so why didn’t you, Crookshank probably would have loved the company,” Ron said while he piled the food up on a plate that Kreature brought to him immediately.

“Maybe but its not very fair to them since I’m back at my lessons I don’t have time to care for them,”

Ron nodded in understanding; Harry and Draco gave a sad smile to each other.

“I best be going, mom wanted me to help with Lisa-Annie, and to meet with that girl she has me set up with,” Draco smiled softly at Hermione wanting to kiss her but knowing it was not feasible with Ron sitting there.

“Oh well I’ll walk you to the door,” Hermione said politely.

“Tell your parents hello for me,”

“I will and thanks, you don’t need to walk me to the door I can find it,” Draco told her half heartily, since he really wanted her to walk with him.

“Don’t be silly what kind of host would I be if I didn’t walk you to the door,” Hermione said as she headed for the kitchen door.

“Have a good night Draco see ya at the Ministry tomorrow,”

“Night Potter see ya there,” Draco gave him a wave, “night Weasley,” Draco left through the kitchen door as Ron looked at him disgustedly.

“I can’t see why you let him come visit you?”

“It’s not so bad he’s a nicer guy now then he was in school,”

“So does Goyle come here?” Ron asked curiously.

“Nope I haven’t seen him since the battle at the school.” Harry grinned at him, “I did hear though that he too had an arranged marriage and is now married to the girl, I have no clue who; she is, but I found it rather funny,”

Ron goggled at him, “Your kidding the poor bloke is already married?”

“That’s what I’m told, we’ll need to find out if it’s true or not,”

Ron chuckled at this, “yeah it’ll be good practice for us,”

Harry nodded agreement, glad to keep Ron talking since he figured he knew what was keeping Hermione so long in saying good bye to Draco.

Harry hated to keep all these secrets from Ron but knew that Ron would never speak to either of them again and that was one thing he didn’t want, to lose Ron’s friendship.

Hermione came back in smiling and talking softly as though she had not been gone over thirty minutes saying good bye to someone at the door, which was a minute walk from the kitchen.

“Took you long enough, I was ready to send the search dogs after ya,” Ron told her with a chuckle.

“Sorry we remembered an assignment that he had to finished and asked if I had a few answers to it he could get, so he could turn it in.”
