Chapter 2
Harry gently squeezed Hermiones hand and smiled happily as she snuggled into him more. It was a beautiful day. No homework, Gryffindor was leading in the house cup competition by over 100 points and everything was going very well for everyone.
Ron glared at Harry, who couldn't see it as it was at his back, "How many oppertunities do they need?" he asked sounding very frustrated.
Lavender shook her head, "I don't know. We gave them throughout the WHOLE day and they still havent snogged in front of us yet. We gave them the opportunity in Potions and in Transfiguration and when we were in Care of Magical Creatures!" she said blowing a stray piece of hair away with her breath.
Parvati sighed and flopped down beside Lavender and Ron, "They'll never do it." she moaned.
Ron crossed his arms and thought hard, "I've got it!" he said, holding up his finger in a comical way, "We've got to get them to brush up against each other and THEN-" he broke off to start whispering quietly so only Lavender and Parvati could hear.
They nodded, giggling, "Oh yes! Let's do that!" Parvati squealed and began to fantasise about how they would go about this particual plan.
Meanwhile Harry was gently stroking Hermiones hand. A smile of content leasure floated across her face.
Harry leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I love you."
Hermione smiled and whispered back, "I love you too." she said, then added, "But I'd love you better if you just got over hugging me like I'm a soft toy." she teased.
Harry instantly stopped holding her and pouted, "I didn't know you felt that way. Well then...I won't." he said crossing his arms and getting a 'That-wasn't-very-nice' look on his face.
Hermione swung around so she was facing him, "Aw Harry. I was kidding. I LIKE it when you hold me and cuddle me. I was just teasing. Aw don't be a suk." she said.
At this last bit Harry launched a tickle-attack on her, "I'm not a suk!" he said tickling her mercilessly.
Hermione squealed and laughed hysterically, "Harry! Harry!!! Stop!!"
Harry paused for a moment, "Say it. Say I'm not a suk." he said.
Hermione shook her head defiantely, "No way! You're the biggest-AH!" she screamed as he launched his attack on her again.
"Say it!" he demanded.
Tears were practically rolling down her face, "Alright! ALRIGHT! You're not a suk!" she gasped.
Harry stopped tickling her, "That's better." he said flattening his palm against her stomach, both out of breath from the tussle.
Ron, Lavender and Parvati were all thinking about their plan to get them to snog in front of everyone they didn't even notice when Harry leaned down and gently kissed Hermione on the lips, just brushing his lips over hers to make her let out a little moan.
Harry drew back smiling, "Alright come on. Let's go for a walk." he said climbing off the couch and offering Hermione a hand which she accepted and was pulled to her feet swiftly, a bit too swiftly in fact. She was launched at Harry with such a force that it nearly sent him toppling backwards.
Laughing, Harry leaned down and gently kissed her again. Hand in hand Harry and Hermione quietly exited the common room.
"What's up with Ron?" Hermione asked confused, "He's been talking with Lavender and Parvati all the time now. And whenever he talks to us he seems...a little strange."
Harry nodded, his brow furrowed a little, "Maybe it's us. Maybe it's our relationship that's bothering him. I guess we're being a little forward about it. He might not like it." he said considering the fact.
Hermione sighed heavily, "Well maybe we should go easy on the kissing then. Just for the rest of the week. Give him time to get used to it. And if he doesn't by then? Well then it's his problem."
Harry nodded, "Right. We won't kiss until the end of the week."
"The whole week?" Hermione groaned.
"Well..." Harry added with a cheeky grin, "Not in public anyway." And with that he pulled her into the shadows and kissed her passionately.

Harry sat down beside Ron, "Hey." he said casually.
Ron looked up and looked around, "Where's Hermione?" he asked his voice just as casual.
"Oh she's coming." Harry said, "So uh...what have you been up to?" he asked.
Ron shrugged, "Oh you know..." 'Trying to get you idiots to snog in front the common room to no avail because you're bloody idiots' "Stuff."
Harry smiled as Hermione walked in, she moved to sit across from them but Ron quickly jumped up, "Here you can have my seat! I need to talk to Lavender anyway." Ron said quickly and sat opposite them.
Hermione and Harry exchanged confused looks but Hermione sat down anyway. Harry gently moved his leg so it brushed up against hers. Hermione blushed a little but pretended nothing had happened.
"So Ron. Did you finish the divination homework?" Harry asked leaning over and helping himself to scrambled eggs and bacon. {AN: mmm scrambled eggs...wah! sorry im obsessed right now!!}
Ron nodded, "Yeah...with a bit of help from Lavender and Parvati. They're really good at that sort of stuff. I have no idea if it's true but well you know." he whispered the last part so Lavender couldn't hear.
Harry laughed, "Yeah. I had to get Hermi- uh I mean I had to read over it a couple of times to see how many times I died."
Ron laughed, "So uh...well we'll see you later Hermione." he said standing up.
Hermione smiled, "Yeah see you." she said.
Harry paused before just smiling at her and walking over to Ron. Ron smacked him hard around the head.
"What??" Harry asked rubbing the spot confused. He hadn't wanted to kiss Hermione in case it had offended Ron and he was being hit anyway.
"You didn't give her a goodbye kiss!" he said sounding completely put out.
Hermione tried not to laugh at the look on Harrys face. One of utmost confusion and frustration.
"Oh uh. Bye Hermione." he said blowing her a kiss quickly.
She smiled and and waved. Ginny sat down beside her.
"What's so funny?" Ginny asked confused.
Hermione shook her head, "Just...aw nothing. It's nothing." she said finally and gulped down her breakfast quickly so she wouldn't be late for Arithmacy {AN: I HATE Arithmacy!! How could she like it??}

Ron and Harry sat down at their usual table in the stuffy tower. Professor Trewlawny came out of the mists of perfumes and smoke.
"Ah yes my dears. Today we are going to work on love for the month." she said smiling at everyone.
Ron grinned happily and Lavender and Parvati, 'This is perfect!' he thought.
Harry smiled a little awkwardly, 'What if she says something to me about Hermione and Ron gets upset? I don't understand..and my head still hurts.'
"Now my dears look into the crystals in front of you and choose out whichever one it is that catches your interest." she said gesturing to the bowls of crystals in front of each of them.
"You go first." Ron said.
Harry smiled a little awkwardly and looked into the bowl. There were pink ones, black ones, grey ones, there were green ones and yellow ones and purple ones. But none of them caught Harrys eye like the little one at the bottom. It's colour was a stunning ice blue that looked as if it was frozen. Harry picked it out.
"Er this one I guess." Harry said a little reluctantly, "Now you pick."
Ron picked up a clear one, "I'll choose this one. I wonder what colour Hermione would choose. Probably one the colour of your eyes." he hinted.
Harry blushed a little but ignored him. Professor Trelawny came to stop at their table.
"Let me see my dear." she said holding her hand out to examine Harrys.
Harry reluctantly gave it to her.
"Ah. My my. Now how did THIS get in here? It's certainly not supposed to be. But ah well this is quite a suprise Mr.Potter." Professor Trelawny said studying the crystal carefully, "This is a phoenix stone!"
"A phoenix stone." Harry repeated sounding a little fed up.
"Yes! The phoenix stone is a stone of true love. It protects whoever it bonds to and I've never seen this one before. They are VERY expensive." she said finally.
Harry blushed a little, "Oh..er shall I choose again then?" he asked after a minute.
Professor Trelawny nodded reluctantly, "Chose from the basket on my table dear. I'll put take this." she said closing her hand around it and moving to look at Rons.
Harry moved to the front of the classroom and looked into the bowl of crystals, once again there were crystals of all sizes and colours and then...in the corner. There was a small ice blue crystal...another phoenix stone. Harry raised an eyebrow and pulled it out.
"Er...professor I found another one." he said, his voice sounding a little choked.
She spun around, "Another one??" she gasped and put her hand into her pocket, pulling out nothing, "Where did the other one go?" she asked searching her pockets.
She took the phoenix stone from Harry carefully, "Well...that's the same one." she said slowly watching Harry carefully.
"It-it is?" Harry asked, afraid he was going to be punished.
"Well done!" Professor Trelawny said happily, "I wasn't going to let you keep it...but well you seem to have 'bonded' to it."
She went on to explain how the phoenix stone bonds to people but Harry wasn't listening he was simply staring at her blankly.
"So...I can keep this?" he asked.
She nodded, "I said that."
"Er...thanks." he said sitting down beside Ron, still a little confused but none the less happy.
"So Harry...going to give it to Hermione?" Ron teased.
