Harrione: After All This Time

"Detention"

"Harry James Potter" - The dry voice of an old man just sounded like the worst punishment Harry's ears could ever heard. The boy just stayed quiet as Filch started to curse everything and everyone in his fury. The wizard now was in front of Dumbledore in person, alone and lost in his own thoughts:
  "Leave us alone, Filch. I have to talk to Harry...in person" - Said Albus to the Squib, who just leaved the room, not before extending his hand to Harry, giving him a big piece of paper where was written: "DETENTION". A long text could be read below these words, but Harry sincerely had no patience to read any single word of it, waiting for Dumbledore to say something:
  "Please, take a sit, Harry" - Said the old man, with a simple smile at his lips, the bright blue eyes of the old wizard now staring into the green eyes of the boy who survived, Potter just sat at the chair and started to explain:
  "Dumbledore, i swear, i was just walking around the school, i couldn't sleep and i..i..."  - The silence remains inside Harry's mouth, deep in his heart, he knew he couldn't lie to someone like Dumbledore. No one could. Then the wizard just took a deep breathe, before asking:
  "What did you felt when you met Grindelwald?" - Asked Harry , trying not to look into the bright blue eyes who was certainly staring at him right now. Maybe he shouldn't have asked that, Harry was almost saying something to forget the embarrasing conversation when he saw the smile at Dumbledore's lips, who said in a calm voice:
  "I felt the true love. I was too young but...i remember that feeling, that feeling who invades us, when we can't imagine our own existence without that person and...it sometimes makes us sleepless" - He said, looking deeper into his eyes, before extend his hand and give back the detention paper in Harry's hand, without saying a single word. The chosen one smiled and said a quick "thank you" and leaved the room, walking at the death row until his penalty, thinking about Dumbledore's words, he just opened the library's door and get in, sitting on the chair, with his hands touching the wood of the table,  hearing noises of books falling down the shelves. Harry gets up and goes to the point he heard the noise and screamed as his head just beats a girl's forehead. Both of them fell down at the ground, the library was empty, he was extending his hand to the girl, who screamed:
  "Harry!!! Oh my God, what are you doing here? You should be training Quidditch right now, Wood's gonna kill you if your team lose for Slytherin again..." - Hermione said, receiving the paper by Potter's hand, she read it and started shaking her head as she took a seat at the chair, the hands on the table:
  "Harry James Potter, why the hell were you walking around the castle at midnight? You KNOW the rules, Harry, what are you thinking of?" - She rebuked him, crossing her arms up on her books pile, starting to read one of them, Harry just shakes his head and touches his own hair, kinda bored with that situation:
  "Mione, Dumbledore said something like "love makes us sleepless", when he gave me that detention and...i think he means i can't sleep because im...in love, i guess" - He said, blushing a bit, trying not to see Hermione's reaction, but she didn't look like surprised:
  "Harry, everyone knows you're in love with Ginny, why on Earth should it mean you can't sleep? It just makes no sense..." - She said, the wizard seemed to have no answers for that question, he just hold his head with the hand, looking into Hermione's eyes:
  "Ginevra...Weasley. Can't even remember the last time she smiled to me, im feeling like im a robot making things im programed to do..." - He said, taking a deep breathe, taking a look at Hermione's book:
  "By the way, how's things with Ron going? I can't see your rings, where's it?" - Harry asked, looking at her fingers. The witch just closed the books and opened both of her hands, slowly:
  "Ron is so...idiot. He doesn't like studying, he doesn't ask how i am, he doesn't care about...ugh, nothing. And im tired of dating a wall, im tired of his games...then im done, Harry, he doesn't even know im not wearing my "marriage ring" - She said, looking away to wipe out a tear who drop from her eyes, but she got surprised when she felt Harry's fingers touching her face. A simple gesture who made her smile, the students starter hugging, with their chin resting on their shoulders, a gesture of affection that have lasted for all day long.
