Tidbits of Love

Scene Three: Background Information – This is Harry and Hermione’s First Time- not smutty, but kinda fluffy actually ;P

3:00 AM

Hermione was awakened by a soft kiss on her lips. She was still sitting in the Common Room with a book in her lap.

"Mmm..." She opened her eyes. "This is a very pleasant way to be awakened."

"I thought so." He went to pull her to her feet. "C'mon."

"What?"

"I have a surprise for you." He yanked her up.

"Harry, it's three in the morning and I'm in my pajamas."

"I know, but I want to show you something."

'You weren't so anxious when we were in my room earlier.' Hermione thought. They were alone, kissing like there was no tomorrow, but it hadn't gone any farther, even though she desperately wanted it to. She loved him - what was it going to take for him to see that? He said it once but - she wanted to her it again.

Grumbling, Hermione climbed with Harry under the Invisibility Cloak. "This had better be worth it, Potter."

Harry grinned mischievously. "Oh believe me Granger, it is."

The trip through the hallways with Harry was both silent and very uneventful. She kept glancing at him and he had that same goofy smile plastered on his face.

When they reached what Hermione recognized as the Astronomy Tower, Harry crept up behind Hermione and covered her eyes.

"What are you - "

"Shh." The sound if his whisper made her tingle all over. The feeling was only personified as he kissed her neck slowly and deliberately. Hermione melted in his arms.

"Alohomora," Harry muttered and then whispered, right next to her ear, "Take ten steps and then keep your eyes closed." She nodded.

"One, two, three." He whispered. Harry's hands were still over her eyes. She was finding it increasingly difficult to count with the feeling of his breath on her neck.

"Eight, nine, ten."

Harry stepped away, and Hermione couldn't help but be disappointed. He must have opened a window, because she felt a cool breeze in the room. She suddenly realized how warm the room was - or was that just her?

"Okay." Harry said. "Open your eyes."

Hermione opened her eyes slowly and had to bite back a gasp.

The room was full of small, lit candles. She looked out the window and saw the lake in the moonlight. It was absolutely beautiful.

"Well?"

Hermione faced him. "It's perfect." She said smiling.

"Perfect for what, exactly?" Harry said, putting his hands around his waist.

Hermione stood on her tiptoes and gently kissed his earlobe, sending shivers down his spine. She whispered, "Something like this," and pulled his mouth to hers.

They didn't waste any time. In a matter of minutes, Harry's tee shirt was on the ground and Hermione's sweatshirt was gone, leaving her in a camisole, and him topless.

Hermione pulled back for just a second and looked into his eyes. She kissed him and said, "I love you."

Harry kissed her. "I love you too."

That was all the confirmation she needed.

They kissed again, this time a little more driven then before, and...you can decide how the scene plays out.

6:00 AM

Hermione awoke contentedly curled in Harry's arms. The sun was just coming up and she wrapped her robes around her as she went over to the window. She felt Harry come up behind her and wrap his arms around her waist. She leaned back into him. He kissed the top of her head.

"We should go down to breakfast." Hermione said sighing.

Harry turned her around. "In a little while." He kissed her, slowly and thoroughly, putting his whole self into it. Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned into the kiss.

This, in her eyes, was absolutely perfect.

~* This is the next day, but I thought it was funny, so I put it in… *~

"Harry, your girlfriend wants you."

Harry was yanked out of the stupor he had fallen into and glanced around for Hermione. Sirius laughed. "Oh, that was great - the same trick worked on your father." He was still laughing.

"Shut up Sirius."

Sirius wiped the tears from his eyes and cleared his throat. "So, how are things between you and Hermione?"

"I love her." He said honestly.

"Ah, yes. Love. I knew you did. The way you two were always giving each other googly eyes all the time - and don't deny it. It's like your father and your mother all over again. And Prongs denied it too."

Harry grumbled something under his breath. "Sirius, stop torturing the boy, really," Remus said smiling. "Harry, Dumbledore wants to see you, Hermione and Ron."

Harry nodded and walked off.

"Bye lover!" Sirus called across the room. Hermione glowered at him and Harry hid his face in his hands. Ron and Dawn couldn't stop laughing.
