"No, that's not what I meant..." he trailed off a bit. "I wish you realized how much I care about you and how I actually quite fancy you but can't admit it because if I do, Ron would never speak to me again...And for the record, I think you deserve better than him. He might be my best mate, but Hermione, you mean much more to me than he does and I would hate to see you getting hurt."
There was a very long and awkward pause, and I don't think Harry had even realized he was talking out loud.
"Harry...you're with Ginny." I finally said
"So? Do you think I want to be?" He asked "I'm only with her still because if I break up with her, it would kill her. And she's still grieving Fred...I just need to be with her right now."
"Right now?" I questioned "Then what about later?"
"Well, I would like to be with you." He said and the way he did made the choice seem completely obvious that it made my heart melt "There was a point where I liked Ginny...but I can't see myself growing old with her, do you know what I mean? Personality wise, we don't click."
"Like the way we do?" I said causing him to look up at me
Now, I had read more than enough books and seen plenty of muggle TV shows to know what would happen next. And sure enough...
He crashed his lips onto mine, so suddenly that I had nearly fallen backwards by surprise but he wrapped his arm around my waist which stopped my fall.
"Harry." I said pulling back "We should talk in the morning. It's way past our curfew and we really should try and sleep since our first day of classes are tomorrow."
"Classes? What are you talking about." He asked
"Get some sleep, Harry. You've had quite a night but hopefully you'll better in the morning."
He simply nodded and kissed my fore head before standing up and turning to his dorm. "Goodnight, Hermione." He said
"Good night, Harry."
