A short one shot about Harry and Hermione's first private moment after the Battle of Hogwarts

Harry had just defeated Voldermort. There was a celebration feast at Hogwarts. Harry and Hermione really wanted a private moment together but all they had managed to get in was a hearty hug, during which Harry whispered, "Meet me at the Gryffindor Common Room while everyone's at the feast." Harry and Hermione started dating in their 6th year, but Harry ended their relationship after Dumbledore's death for her protection. However, she still went Hocrux hunting with him and they were only broken up in name as they couldn't help but have a few kissing sessions during their Hocrux hunt and never stopped being in love.

Harry slipped out during the feast and Hermione followed suit, a few minutes later. As she entered the Common Room, she found Harry waiting for her. They immediately threw themselves at each other in what was probably their most emotional hug. Harry led Hermione to sit on the couch. "Harry, don't you ever die on me again," Hermione said in tears. "Hermione, everything's alright now. I'm fine," Harry comforted her as he wiped her tears and held her in his arms. "I love you Harry," said Hermione as she caressed his cheek. "I love you too Hermione," said Harry and he pulled Hermione towards himself in another hug.

They let go and began kissing passionately. Harry's lips moved from Hermione's lips and made their way down her neck, as he tilted her down on the couch with himself on top of her. He unbuttoned the top button of her dress and kissed her collarbone. Their makeout session lasted for more than 10 minutes before they got up. The both had a few open buttons and Hermione had a few love bites on her neck and collarbone. They buttoned their clothes up.

"Harry, after what you've been through, I understand if you need some time and space away from everything and everyone," said Hermione, taking his hands in hers. "You're right Hermione, I do need time and space away from everything. But only for a little while. You know I love you and want to be you," said Harry, fully appreciative of how understanding Hermione was. Hermione nodded. "Harry, I'll wait for you, as long as you need," said Hermione. "Thanks Hermione," said Harry heartily, as he slightly caressed her cheek.

Hermione got up to leave, but Harry held her hand and sat her back down, taking both her hands in his. "Mione, I need some time and space away from everything, starting tomorrow. But right now, I really need you to stay with me," said Harry, gazing at her longingly. Hermione held his hand in agreement. Harry laid on Hermione's lap and slept like a baby in a very long time, her lap more comfortable to him than the softest pillow.
