Tidbits of Love

Scene Five: Background Information – And this is where they “make up”…hint hint…no ACTUAL smut though. Sorry people.

Harry came back to see Hermione curled up in a ball on the bed in their room.

Their room. That would sound so much nicer if it didn't mean that now they would have to talk. He absentmindedly wondered if Ron and Dawn were talking at this very moment. He couldn't tell, even though their room was right next door.

Harry went over to Hermione and kissed her forehead. She stirred, but didn't awaken, so Harry contented himself with just watching her sleep for a while. He lay down next to her, and was dozing off when he felt a lazy hand caress his cheek. He opened his eyes to reveal Hermione looking over at him, eyes tired, but full of want and need.

For him.

Harry reached over and kissed her gently. He wanted to tell her how sorry he was, how he would never turn away from her like this again, how happy he was that she had forgiven him, that nothing in his life made sense unless she was a part of it - but most of all, how much he loved her. "Are you sure you don't want to - "

"Shh...." Hermione said, shushing him with a kiss. "Act now. Talk later." She grinned, as if a thought had just occurred to her. "After all, actions speak louder then words."

Harry smiled. "Funny you should say that. Because I was just about to let you know how much you really mean to me." He swept her up into his arms. "And I didn't intend on saying a word."

She wrapped her arms around his waist and sighed. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"Then show me."

And he proceeded to do just that.
