Chocolate

*Written from Harry’s PoV…

Chocolate

I looked at her. She was bent over her homework, the quill scratching the surface with a slight sound that I could barely hear. There was a bar of chocolate by her.

Looking around surreptitiously, I realized there was no one else in the library. I inched closer to her, attempting to try and surprise her.

“Don’t even try it, Harry,” she said, not looking up.

I sighed. I hadn’t made one sound, yet she still knew I was there. It was like she had some sort of radar for me.

“Hey, Hermione,” I said, sitting down next to her.

She looked up at me, her eyes crossed. Hermione looked very tired.

“Come on, why don’t you take a break?” I asked her.

“Fine,” she said, throwing down the quill and sighing.

Preparing for our N.E.W.T.s was definitely taking a toll on Hermione. She was working in the library all the time, complaining that the common room was too loud. Ron and I had shrugged it off, but I had decided to come and visit her now. Ron was on a rendezvous with his girlfriend Luna.

I picked up the bar of chocolate. It looked very tasty. Hermione was watching me closely.

I licked it.

Hermione watched me with a sort of hunger in her eyes, whether for me or the chocolate I didn’t know. I continued licking it…slowly…ever so slowly.

I looked over at Hermione and she was positively drooling for the chocolate.

“Want some?” I asked, grinning.

She didn’t reply, but just grabbed it. I watched as she licked it right over the spot where I had.

Her licking made my pants tighten a bit. Desire burst through me. Hermione. I needed Hermione.

I grabbed the chocolate away from her. There was still dark smudges of it around her lips. I leaned forward and kissed her. It was our first kiss in nearly two weeks since she had disappeared to study night and day.

Her lips tasted of chocolate, but it was sweet, sweet as the rain that falls after a hot summer day. She put her arms around my neck and began swaying as we kissed.

I deepened the kiss by placing my tongue inside her. Our tongues began dueling, crashing in the web that was our mouths. I leaned her back against the table and we both landed on it, me on top of her.

“Oh Harry…” she murmured.

“Hermione…I can’t believe it’s been so long.”

“Mmmmm…..”

Hermione suddenly pulled back from me. I leaned back surprised. She smiled and grabbed the bar of chocolate. She took a gigantic bite out of it. I took the piece of chocolate back and took a bite myself. Before I could hand it back to her, she leaned forward and caught me in a kiss again.

It was the oddest thing I’d ever done. I was kissing her and trying to chew down the chocolate at the same time. But it was strangely satisfying.

When we had finally finished the chocolate bar, Hermione grinned at me and raised her finger and motioned for me to follow her.

I began following her in the familiar route to the Room of Requirement. Needless to say, I thought that what was coming up was going to be much better tasting than the chocolate.
