A/N: Ok I've changed the rating back to PG-13. The R rating was for the last chapter and the rest of the story won't really have any scenes like that. It will all be more like this chapter. Which I'm giving a hard PG-13 after this there shouldn't be another chapter like this for some time. I hope you all like this chapter and don't forget to review!

Chapter 10
Sometimes you just shouldn't ask questions
Harry woke to find his arms empty, of the warmth of Hermione and all the candles blown out. He could hear the shower running from the open bathroom door. After putting on his glasses, he got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, not bothering to put on his boxers seeing as it was only himself and Hermione in the house. He could see her standing in the shower with water running over her body taking the suds from the shampoo with it. Harry walked over and opened the shower door.
"Care for some company?" Harry could see Hermione jumped a little when he spoke.
Hermione glanced over her shoulder at him. "As long as it's yours."
Harry put his glasses on the counter as Hermione pulled him into the shower with her. The water soaked his body as he looked at Hermione, whose hair was longer due to the weight of the water. Hermione ran her hand down Harry's chest following a stream of water, then slid her arm around his body pulling him close. Harry, in turn, put is arms around her shoulders and placed his chin where her neck and shoulder met. They stood like that letting the water fall over them like rain for what seemed to be an hour before Hermione pulled away.
"Let's get out of here." Hermione reached around Harry and turned off the water before grabbing his hand and leading him out of the shower.
"Where are we going?" Harry asked her as tiny beads of water ran down her bare body.
"You'll see." Hermione grabbed a bottle off the counter and then stopped Harry from grabbing a towel with a swat on the hand.
They walked out of the bedroom and down the hall dripping water on the carpet as they went. Hermione pulled Harry into her parents bedroom and then into the bathroom. She let go of his hand and walked up the few steps that lead to a huge bathtub. Hermione turned on the water and then dumped the contents of the bottle into the tub which released a lavender scent into the air.
After the tub filled a bit with water and bubbles Hermione turned, grabbed Harry's hand and lead him up the steps into tub with her. As if reading Hermione's mind, Harry stepped into the tub and sat down, Hermione promptly followed sitting down in his lap and leaned back on his chest. Hermione picked up Harry's hand and intertwined her fingers with his.
"Harry, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Well I just wanted to know if."
"If what?"
"If I was your first?" Hermione spoke so softly that Harry barley heard her and he didn't really know how to answer her.
"Of course you are. Why would you think you weren't?"
"Because you're Harry Potter and girls throw themselves at you. So I figured that maybe you took one of them up on their offer."
"You have a good point but you have to know that I would never take them up on their offers. Ok now I have a question for you."
"Oh yeah what is it?"
"Was I yours?"
"HARRY! You horrible prat!" Hermione screeched as she laughed at Harry ridicules question.
"What? You asked me plus you did date Krum."
Hermione rolled her eye's before answering. "Fine yes you were. Ok I've got another question for you. How many girls have you kissed?"
"And why would you want to know that?"
"Just curious."
"Curiosity killed the cat."
"Mischief brought it back. Now tell me."
"Ok three including you."
"Ok who were the other two, even though I know who one of them is?"
"My first kiss was with a girl named was Megan I was nine, but I don't think that really counts because she did it as a dare and then well there was Cho, you were there after that one. How about you?"
"Well three. Victor, you, and…" Hermione said the last name so quietly that Harry couldn't hear her.
"Who was the last person I couldn't hear you."
"Why does it matter?"
"I told you mine it's only fair."
"It was Ron."
Hermione could feel Harry's body go tense underneath her.
"Weasley?"
"Yeah."
"W-when?? How? Why didn't Ron tell me? He tells me everything and I mean everything most of the time he tells me too much." Harry had sat up which made Hermione move to the other side of the tub and looked at her hands.
"Well it happened last summer when we were staying at the Order before you got there. One day when Ron and I were cleaning and he kissed me. I knew he had feelings but I never thought he'd do anything about it. After he kissed me I told him it wouldn't work. And then when you finally got there I knew I was meant to be with you that's why I was so happy to see you. But you were so angry about everything I knew that you weren't ready for my feelings so I waited. And when I kissed you at the Dursley's that morning it was good very good." Hermione couldn't bear to look at Harry so she slid under the water to give him a minute to think. But no sooner was she under did she feel Harry's arms pulling her back above the water.
"Hey were did you go?" Harry asked as he pushed her hair out of her face and wiped the bubbles off her eyes.
"I thought you'd need a minute to think."
"And why would I need a minute to think?"
"Because you're mad at me because I let Ron kiss me."
"Hermione look at me." Harry pulled Hermione into his lap so she was looking at him.
"I'm not mad. Ok a little weirded out that Ron kissed you and you are now kissing me." Harry stuck his tongue out and shivered which made Hermione laugh. "But I do have one question who's the better kisser me or Ron?"
Hermione laughed harder and threw her arms around his neck.
"Well I'm still kissing you so does that answer your question." Hermione leaned in and kissed Harry as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Harry pulled her closer to him as they kissed each other harder. Hermione leaned back into the tub and pulled Harry on top of her which made some water splash out of the tub.
"Make love to me Harry again and again and again until we can't do it anymore ok."
"As you wish, I love you so much, I hope you know that."
"I do and I love you too." Hermione put her hand on the back of Harry's head and pulled him into a lip bruising kiss.
---------------
When they finally finished half the water that had been in the tub was now on the floor.
"Harry," Hermione murmured into his neck. "I don't know about you but I'm starving."
"Me too, well we have burned a lot of energy today and we only had bananas for breakfast."
"True. Hmm I want to go get something to eat but I happen to love where I am."
"Why don't we go and get something to eat and then if you want go back to your room."
"Potter you read my mind."
Harry slowly pushed himself off Hermione and then leaned down and pulled her up so she was standing with him in the tub. Harry watched as the bubbles that had clung to her skin when she stood up slowly make their way back to the tub. Harry couldn't help but kiss her hard and passionately.
"Harry if you keep this up we'll never make it downstairs ohhh." Harry was now kissing her neck and down onto her shoulders.
Hermione finally found the will to push herself away and grabbed Harry's hand and lead him out of the tub, careful not to slip on the large amount of water on the floor. She then grabbed a towel from the closet and put it on Harry's head, shaking his hair dry before doing the same to hers. She then grabbed two more towels and handed one to Harry which he wrapped around his waist and the other she used to wrap around her body. Hermione threw a few more towels on the floor to sop up the water, then re-grabbed Harry's hand and lead him into the hall.
"So what do you want to eat?" Hermione asked as they made their way down stairs.
"I don't really care, what do you want?"
"Well mum and dad left money for food we can order pizza if you want."
"Yeah let's do that. I can always eat pizza."
"Ok what do you want on it?" They had made it the kitchen and she was dialing the number when she asked.
"Meat!" Harry threw his arms around Hermione's waist and started to kiss her neck.
"Harry I'm trying to - oh. Hello yes I'm placing an order for delivery. My number is 555-7309. Yes that's my address. We'd like a medium all meat pizza."
"Get a large." Harry lifted from Hermione's neck for a moment the started to kiss her shoulder.
"Can we make that a large please? Thank you. How long? See you then thank you." Hermione hung up the phone and placed it on the counter. "We have thirty minutes before the pizza gets here. Take me." And with that Hermione pulled the towel off Harry's waist and pushed him on the floor in one swift motion, and then jumped on top of him on the floor.
Ding Dong
"Harry where's my towel?"
"Right here." Harry handed Hermione the towel and watched as she wrapped it around her body and as she walked to the door.
"Hello."
"Hello. Hermione is that you?'
"Jim? Hi it's been a long time."
"Yeah when I saw this order I thought it might be you. You've grown up."
"Well I was thirteen the last time you saw me. Oh." Hermione had just realized she was standing in front of him in only a towel.
"Hey Hermione it helps if you have the money to pay for the pizza. What's wrong?"
Harry could tell she was blushing and he saw the guy at the door straighten up.
"Ah Harry this is Jim we use to go to school together."
Harry stuck out his hand and shook Jim's hand, which had a rather strong grip.
"Nice to meet ya Harry, how do you and Hermione know each other?"
"We go to school together."
"Well I have to get back to work It was really nice to see you again Hermione, good to meet you Harry." Jim handed Harry the pizza and he handed Jim the money.
"Bye." Hermione shut the door and leaned up against it.
"Hey what's the matter?"
"That was Jim."
"Yes that's how it seems."
"No Harry you don't understand. Jim was in completely in love with me in school. When I came back one summer he wanted us to be boyfriend and girlfriend but I said no. And then he comes here and sees me in a towel and then you came out in a towel."
"How old were you when this happened?"
"Thirteen."
"Hermione honey." Harry had to stop talking for a moment to suppress his laughter. "I think, well hope, that he's gotten over you."
"So what in five years you'll be over me?"
"Yeah as long as it's in bed."
"Ah as cheesy as that was thank you and I hope so too." Hermione felt Harry move her hair and kiss the back of the neck. "Let's eat."
"Ok." Harry and Hermione walked into the kitchen and set everything up on the counter and then sat down and ate. When they finished eating there were only three slices left.
"Let's clean up and then go back upstairs." Hermione was about pick up her glass when Harry took her hand.
"Lets skip the clean up and head upstairs, we can clean up tomorrow." Harry pulled her to him and started kissing her while they walked toward the stairs.
"How can I say no to this?" Hermione started kissing Harry again as they started up the stairs. Half way up Hermione ran her hand down Harry's chest then down to towel and released it from his waist. And when they reached the hallway did the same to her towel. Right before they walked into her room Harry scooped Hermione up in his arms.
"Oh Harry."
Harry carried Hermione through her room and lightly placed her on her bed and then crawled on top of her.
