All It Takes

Hermione returned to her house with a frown on her face as she was questioning the current events that just took place. Should she of let him move in with her? Did she do the right thing?

When she got into her apartment, unsure of what to do, a certain letter crossed her mind. She closed the door behind her and hung her coat on the stand whilst glancing at the unsealed letter that lay upon her desk. She stared at the off-white paper for far too long, "You aren't actually considering this are you?" She spoke a loud as she had a mental debate in her mind.

Well... you do miss Harry and Ron a lot.

But no, you promised yourself to not go back there.

But... they do have really good food.

Hermione, no! You are not going back to Hogwarts.

She shook her head and headed into her bathroom, she needed a nice long bath to get over this stupid Hogwarts letter.

By Wednesday evening Hermione had still not decided if she would go back to Hogwarts or not and she had to decide quickly as she needed to buy a dress and still hadn't spoken to Andrew since the awkward incident.

He is probably still mad. Hermione thought to herself.

Just then, she heard a knock at her door. She placed her coffee on the desk and opened to door to see...

"Andrew." She said as she crossed her arms over her chest. He didn't look to good. He had bags under his eyes and smelt of alcohol and sweat.

"Hey..." He said. Quickly, the tension in the air became incredibly awkward before Hermione broke it.

"Do you want something?" She asked. He started to fiddle with the end of his moss green jumper that was messily on top of his white, stained, polo shirt.

"I- I just came to apologise. I'm really sorry darling, I just thought we were ready for that next stage in out relationship ." He sounded sincere and Hermione knew it would be stupid to fall out over something so small as this. She opened the door further and took his hand that was occupied with his jumper to hold it in hers.

"It's ok. I just think we are moving far too fast, you know?" He nodded in response. "Would you like to come in?" Hermione lightly guided his hand inside her apartment but he stayed completely still. She gave him a what-are-you-doing look and waited for him to explain himself.

"I-I'm n-not done yet..."

Hermione was now on her 2nd tub of mint ice cream and her eyes were still as puffy as the tub before.

"What a git!" She shouted with rage as she burst into tears on the sofa. She snatched the TV remote and changed the show. She eventually settled on a romcom and to no surprise, when they lived happily ever after in the end... Niagara falls was brought to her living room in tears.

After finishing a couple more movies, once she thought she had ran out of tears, she fell asleep on the couch.

"I-I'm n-not done yet..." Andrew confessed. Hermione gave him an inquisitive look. She let go of his hand and recrossed her arms over her chest again.

"Well, what is it?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow. Somewhere deep inside her, she knew what was coming but just hoped she was wrong.

She wasn't.

"Well. Y-you see... when I left the shop I was... I was angry. A- and I might of gone to the pub. And I-I might of had one too many d-drinks and woken up w-with a s-s-stranger... a g-girl stranger t-to b-b-b-be exact." She froze. She didn't know what to do nor say. She stepped back and slammed the door in his face. As the bang echoed in her ear, she woke up.

Startled, she checked the time, "7am. Great." She looked around the room at all the empty tubs of ice cream and chocolate wrappers and... that stupid letter. She came up with one more argument to go.

I guess dancing would work all this food off...
