Chapter Nine: O.W.L `s and Kisses
The day of the return of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years return had come and gone. As expected, there weren't any Slytherin making their return. Classes were resuming, and for the sixth years, they were finding out what classes they would be taking, and obtaining their O.W.L results.
"Sorry about the delay on your O.W.L results. We were busy taking care of some -er… other problems. But we have your results here and we'll call you up one at a time to collect them." Said Dumbledore.
After everyone had been called up, Dumbledore announced, "After you have read through your results, we would like you to bring up the second piece of parchment up here with the classes you would like to take."
Once everyone had collected their results, they were given 5 minutes to check over them. Harry's results read:
Charms: O O
DADA: O O**
Transfiguration: O O
Potions: E O
Divination: P P
Astronomy: E A
History of Magic: A *
Herbology: E O
Care of Magical Creatures: A E
Key: * N/A ** bonus point
Comment: On behalf of the examiners and staff of Hogwarts, I would like to congratulate you at you astounding performance in the test. I would also like to add that your father received much the same score, although he is much more proficient in Transfiguration.
Best wishes,
Griselda Marchbanks
Harry was a bit disappointed that he couldn't become an Auror with his results in Potions, but glad that he still received good results.
"Great work, Harry. Although you could've done better in Herbology." Said Hermione, fighting the urge to nibble at his bottom lip.
"T-Thanks, `Mione. I wouldn't have done as well if it wasn't for you." Said Harry, gazing at her lips. "How did you do?"
"I-I got all O's." said Hermione, leaning forward.
"Great!" Harry said before capturing her lips in a kiss that contained all their botted up emotions. The kiss became more heated as they continued. Harry ran his tongue along Hermione's bottom lip, seeking permission. She opened her mouth in response, moaning at the feeling of Harry's tongue, lazily dancing with her own. They broke apart for the need of oxygen, only to find the entire Great Hall staring at them
They all broke out in applause, happy for the couple. Although there were a few disgruntled people who were hoping for a chance at one of the two, they still clapped to show their support. Harry and Hermione rushed out holding hands, while trying to hide their blushing faces. They headed up to the room of requirement, hoping to seek some time alone. When they opened the door, they were shocked to find Ginny and Luna Lovegood, already using it to study. Ginny was first to look up, her eye's shooting down to their joined hands. A smile grew on her face as she ran up to them, and hugged them.
"I'm so glad you two are happy again! I'll leave so you can talk, come one Luna." Said Ginny, releasing them from the hug.
Luna got up with her study material, hugged Harry and Hermione giving them her congratulations and left with Ginny. Just as Harry and Hermione were about to kiss, Ron ran in with a huge grin on his face.
"Hey guy's. You left before I could congratulate you." Started Ron. "I think it's great that you're back together. Plus, I was tired of your bad mood Harry."
"Er … Ron, Hermione and I kinda wanted to talk about it all," said Harry. Noticing Ron nod, but stay in the doorway, he added. "By ourselves."
Realization dawned on Ron's face. He nodded, said his congratulations again, and left. Harry and Hermione were left in an awkward silence.
"So … do you - er - forgive me?" asked Harry, breaking the silence.
Hermione seemed to take her time, before answering. "Well, I think your heart was in the right place. But you still shouldn't have taken the decision away from me. But more importantly, I love you, and you love me. That's all that matters. I forgive you." Finished Hermione.
Harry was ecstatic. "Does this mean I can kiss you again?" he asked.
Hermione pushed her lips up against his in response. Harry loved the feeling of his lips gently massaging hers. But he wanted more. He felt like he couldn't get close enough to her. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip, seeking entrance. She opened her mouth and moaned at the sensations Harry kisses were causing. She felt like her entire body was on fire
Harry broke the kiss and began lightly trailing kisses along her jaw line before gently nibbling at her earlobe. He began to unbutton her blouse, but stopped before he went too far and looked into Hermione's eyes asking silently his first look at the soft mounds that remained, just out of his reach. She nodded and proceeded to help Harry unbutton the remaining buttons on her blouse.
The only thing covering her breasts now was the sheerest of bra material. Harry could already feel himself hardening, and he hadn't even seen them yet.
But for the purpose of keeping this story's rating at PG13, I can't go into details about what happened after that. But I can say that I'm sorry this chapter was so short, and I promise to make the next few chapters longer. (By the way, that last paragraph was an Authors Note)
Disclaimer: I just checked and I still don't own Harry Potter, but I did realize I have the body of a god. Unfortunately, that god is Buddha.
