Later that night....
We just got back from dinner and we're enjoying the warmth of the fire. I was currently sitting on Harry's lap in the armchair. His arms are wrapped around me and i leaned my head is against his chest, it couldn't be anymore perfect.
"Do you know who that girl was sitting next to Ginny today?" Harry asks me
"Luna Lovegood. She is in ravenclaw. People say she is....kinda....strange? People call her Looney Lovegood. Her father owns the quibbler" I tell him trying not to sound too rude when describing her
"You mean that weird magazine that talks about mythical creatures?" He asks in a surprised tone
"Yep. People think she is off or something, but how can that be if she is in ravenclaw. Ravenclaws are naturally brilliant you know"
It has always puzzled me if Ravenclaw is where I should have been, but I'm glad where i ended up.
"I'm glad you weren't. Then you probably wouldn't have of met me. Besides ravenclaws are snobs, well only one Ravenclaw in particular" He says, I knew exactly who he was referring to
"That's sweet" I turned a bit on his lap so i could face him
I couldn't help getting lost in those gorgeous emerald eyes of his. I seem compelled to always loose myself. Slowly i leaned down and presses my lips to his. I felt his hands under my shirt as he started rubbing my waist. I grabbed his collar pulling him closer to me as his tongue suddenly slips into my mouth.
He then unattaches his lips from mine and began kissing my neck.
"Mmmm....Harry.....we should stop....people could walk in" I tell him breathlessly
"You started this you know" He says comically
"Yes. But i actually wanted to talk about something first"
Lately i have been doing research on the mind and about how Harry used to get visions from Voldemort. I read something about occlumency, and i thought why not try it? I think it would be fascinating to read each others minds and see each others memories.
"What is it?"
"If you would be willing....i want to practice occlumency with you"
"Really why? It's not like you need to look inside my mind. All you would see is yourself, since your always on my mind"
"As sweet as that may be, i think it will be a good skill to learn. What if another evil wizard tries to look inside your mind. Please Harry" I begged him
"When do you want to start?" He asks finally giving in
"Tomorrow night. I still need to go to the library tomorrow and find some more books. This is going to be great" I tell him
"Sure. Now it's late. Do you want to come up to my dorm and sleep there tonight? None of the guys will mind"
"Depends are we going to be sleeping?" I whispered
"Of course" He rolled eyes
I just laughed and got off his lap. I grabbed him hand and pulled him up the stairs towards his dorm. As i slowly opened the door i could tell all the guys were already sleeping.
"Perfect. Now let's get changed" I tell him
I got on his bed and i perform a privacy spell allowing the curtains to shut around us. I quickly stripped down the my underwear and bra eventually pulling one of Harry's jumpers over my head.
"You know I'm going to expect that back" He says before stripping to just his boxers
"Well your never going to get it" I teased
We both got underneath the blanket and promptly fell asleep holding each other.
The next morning....
I woke up to my face full of curls. I moved her hair out of my face and stared at her. She looked so peaceful while asleep.
I knew it was nearing time to get up since i could hear the boys right outside my bed. Before waking her i quickly placed a silencing spell on the bed ensuring they couldn't hear her getting up.
"Hermione? Love?" I whispered moving her shoulders a bit
"Mmmm. 5 more minutes" I heard her mumble
"We have to get up. It's almost time for breakfast and i need to take a shower" I tell her
She instantly sat up and stretches her arms.
"Can't we just stay in bed all day" She asks me
"As much as i would love to stay in bed with you. I'm not so sure how much the teachers would appreciate us skipping class. Besides didn't you want to go to the library today?"
"Yeah. I will just leave and meet you for breakfast" She says giving me a quick kiss
"Wait Hermione...." I tried to stop her from leaving but it was too late
"Well look who it is. Granger we had no idea you were staying in our dorm, I like your jumper. Well more like Harry's jumper" Dean says teasingly
"Well good morning to you as well. If you'll excuse me, i need to leave. Harry i will see you downstairs" She says rolling her eyes at Dean and Seamus
She quickly gathers her clothes and heads out the door. They were being so immature about this.
"Well potter you must be in a good mood today" Seamus says
"I didn't need to see that" Ron exclaims
"Sorry" But i really wasn't
An hour later....
After showering and teasing from most of the guys i finally went down to the great hall. As I'm walking i felt someone grab my shoulder.
"Hey Harry" Cho says sweetly
"Hi?"
"So i was up last night and decided to make cookies for some of my friends. I had one left over and i thought you might want one" She says handing me a cookie
I remembered what Hermione told me, not to accept any food from girls since they could have a love potion in them.
"No thank you. Now if you'll excuse me i have to meet Hermi...." Suddenly i felt her lips connect to mine, I instantly pushed her away.
"What the hell do you think your doing! I have a girlfriend!"
"Oh come on Harry. You know I'm prettier than Granger. You used to fancy me last year, i know you did" She says moving in closer to me
"Stay the hell away from me!" I told her before going to the great hall
How could I even look at Hermione knowing what just happened. I didn't even enjoy her kiss for a second. Sure at some point i thought about what it would be like to kiss her but not anymore. I'm in love with Hermione.
As i walked in i saw Hermione conversing with Ginny and Parvati. I quietly moved over and took a seat next to her.
"Harry are you okay? You seem out of sorts" Hermione asks
This is your time to confess to her, but i knew i shouldn't especially in front of all these people.
"Of course just thinking" I could tell she doesn't believe me but accepts my excuse
All through the rest of breakfast there was nothing but silence between us.
After classes....
Hermione's pov
There is something going on with Harry, i know there is. Why doesn't he just tell me what's on his mind? He also seems to avoid looking at me in classes, have I done something wrong?
Once my final class ended i quickly grabbed Harry hand and pulled him into a closet.
"Okay. What is going on with you? Ever since breakfast you have been avoiding me. Was it about this morning? Were the guys teasing you too much about me? " I asked him
"No....it's....just" He says nervously
"What!" I yelled finally tired of his nervous attitude
"Give me your wand. Just for a second" He tells me
Without question i handed him my wand. Why would he need my wand?
"Okay now i took this because what I'm about to tell you could make you upset and want to hex someone" He says quietly
I could feel my heart starting to beat out of my chest. What could have happened that would make me hex someone?
"Okay here it goes....Cho kissed me"
