Chapter 2: Cute Couple
Weeks went by, Harry and Hermione were the cutest couple. Harry was so romantic and Hermione grew more relaxed and spontaneous. They would spend most of their lunch and dinner times in the library, doing anything but work. They went there so often, that Harry knew the library almost as well as Hermione, and that was saying something.

One night, down in the Library...
"Harry, do you ever wonder why noone has figured out where we are all the time?" Hermione kissed him on the cheek and then his upper lip.
"Yeah I do, but maybe people just don't pay any attention. Well at least I hope they don't. I mean, it would be odd, having people trying to spy on us. Don't you think?" Harry asked looking down at her, amused slightly at the thought.
"Yeah I suppose it would..." Hermione trailed off, quieting because she heard a noise nearby.
"Did you giggle, Hermione?"
"No, but I heard one." She looked up at Harry, slightly worried.
"Maybe someone really is spying on us!" Harry said in a sudden whisper. Harry's seriousness made Hermione giggle softly. The noise was made again...
"I'm serious! I'm going to go check it out. You stay here, I'll be back in a second." Whispered Harry, getting up from the floor and pulling his wand out of his pocket.
Hermione got up too, "Okay, don't be long." She said kissing him gently.
"I won't."
He walked out of their row and down the next. It was dark, so he muttered "Lumos!" to his wand, that was pointed out infront of him. It lit automatically, illuminating the row.
"Hello?" Harry whispered. He suddenly held his wand out further away from him and the light from it shone down on a very unusual scene. Parvati and Ron were making out in a corner.
"Parvati must've been the one who giggled," Harry thought.
Parvati suddenly gasped when the light was shone on her and Ron. They backed away from each other, quickly.
"Uh... Harry!" Ron was looking from Harry's surprised face, to Parvati's nervous one.
"Wow, sorry to interrupt your little 'thing' here..." Harry backed away, nearly toppling over a stack of books on the floor, doing a sort of weird move, and catching himself before he hit the ground. But as he did so, he banged into a nearby bookcase. "Ouch!"
"It's o-o-okay," Parvati stammered, she nudged Ron in the ribs with her elbow and he began to mutter, nodding vigorously.
"Right... Bye!" Harry waved, quickly backing out of the row, smartly dodging the books this time. He re-entered the next row and walked over to Hermione, sitting down beside her. "Guess what! Ron is with Parvati in the next row!" Harry was whispering as the giggling noises began again.
"Oh my! Really?" She looked amused, yet truly happy for him.
"So that's why he didn't mind when we went to the library. He was probably with Parvati doing the same thing we do..." Said Harry winking and grinning at Hermione. It was as if he had pieced a verbal word puzzle together suddenly.
"Anyway, where were we?!" Hermione whispered seductively in his ear, kissing him on the neck.

Hours later Harry and Hermione went up to the common room, doing homework. Well... Trying to do homework. They sat, in the two best armchairs by the fire.
"Grrrr... This is Hard!" Harry groaned, Hermione sitting beside him stroking Crookshanks, already finished her homework. He looked over at her sitting in the armchair, and wished he was over there, kissing her instead. He sighed, trying to concentrate on his homework. It was her fault, she was taunting him. He shook his head, trying to rid himself of the thought.
"Let me help, what is it?" She said soothingly, taking the book off of his lap. They ended up doing homework late into the night.
"So, you see Harry, in 1871 Goblin rebellion was at it's brink... Harry?" She looked over at Harry who was sound asleep.
"I knew he would doze off." She said quietly, sighing to herself. She pulled out her wand and magicked him into the air, thinking for a minute. "Should I take him to his dormitory, or mine?" She asked herself in her head. She decided to bring him to hers, it would take less explaining that way. "What if the boys wake up? Atleast if any of the girls do I can explain it to them without seeming awkward," she thought, shrugging slightly, an bringing him up the girls staircase. When they got into the room, she gently placed him on the bed, putting her wand away. She sat down on the edge of her bed, staring at him intently, watching him sleep. As she did, her love for him grew. She wanted to kiss him deeply and sleep in his arms, but she also wanted to let him rest. As if reading her thoughts he opened his eyes, whispering to her.
"Hermione, where are we?" Harry sat up.
"We're in my dormitory. Don't leave now, you'll wake them up." She whispered, pushing him back down gently. Her finger pointed towards the other sleeping girls. "Will I sleep on the floor?" She added in a whisper, getting up slightly.
"Don't be silly! I would never let you sleep on the floor! If anyone should, it should be me." Harry whispered back firmly.
"Oh, come off it Harry! Neither of us deserve to sleep on the floor," she whispered just as firm, not ready to budge.
Harry sighed, knowing she would never let him sleep on the floor, and nor would he let her... So he made a decision, "Come here then," he said smilingly. "You planned this, didn't you?" He added, chuckling softly in her ear.
"Okay, so maybe I did," she said quietly, leaning into his outstretched arms. She rested her head on his chest. "Oh! I almost forgot..." She paused, taking her wand out and muttering some well chosen words to it.
"What did you do?" Said Harry, amazed, he had never seen a spell like that before.
"Oh, I just made us invisible, while on this bed." Hermione said, as if it was nothing at all.
"Your so clever Hermione... And beautiful, smart, funny, loving and caring. Did I mention beautiful?" Harry grinned his lop-sided grin, yawning deeply.
Hermione smiled, blushing deeply. "Oh I'm sure I'm not all that," she whispered back, but it was like talking to a brick wall, for Harry's breathing patterns were slowing down and becoming rhythmic as sleep washed over him.
"I love you." She whispered to a sleeping Harry, not enough courage serged through her to say it to a concious one.
