Harry followed a very nervous-looking Ginny out of the compartment. As soon as he closed the door behind them, he spoke. "You know Ginny, I think you're right.. I think Ron and Hermione *do* fancy eachother!"
Ginny seemed to get over her embarrassment. "Of course they do," she replied, rolling her eyes. "It's so obvious! That's why I came to get you. I thought they could use some time alone. Maybe it'll be enough to get them together finally."
"Oh.. so, you didn't actually want to see me, then, did you?" Harry's face fell.
"Well, I.. I always want to see you, Harry." She blushed furiously as he looked at her.
Harry didn't say anything for a moment. He was busy considering what Ginny had said. He began to speak slowly, "Ginny.. do you think maybe Ron and Hermione aren't the only people who should be getting together today?"
She looked into his green eyes, which were focused intensely on hers. "Who else would you have in mind?"
He reached out and placed a hand on each of her arms, then gently lowered them until he was holding her hands. His hands were trembling, but he managed to lift up one of her hands and kissed it softly.
Ginny squeaked, and was unable to say anything coherent. But that didn't matter because soon their lips were pressed together and nothing else needed to be said.
*If you think Hermione should tell Ron who she fancies (as if it's not completely obvious anyway!), go to Chapter 8.
*If you think Hermione should not tell Ron who she fancies, go to Chapter 9.
