A little idea developed into this story, it's been several years since i've written anything about the potterverse but this one had to be told . Haven't even read HBP and DH for that matter, hp stopped being interesting with the release of HBP for me, but never lost interest in the fanfiction part of HP, especially H/Hr.
No profit, no responsibility, just pure fun. Non-betaed so please forgive errors. Hope you enjoy this. Review if you wish, I'm just pleased you found this story and read it .
A hug to remember
She had to make him understand, to make him see that she meant what she had just said, that she really did have very strong feelings for him.
Seeing his eyes loose the sparkle she always noticed when he was in a good mood or looking at her was almost as gutwrenching as imagining him being dead at the hands of Voldemort, and lord knows that she had imagined that so many times and always felt the same hollow feeling of despair and loss.
"Harry please!, don't you see?, I AM serious, i…oh god please don't leave me now, not when I show you my soul!", Hermione was at her last breath and thoughts on what to do to so Harry would see that she was serious, as serious as she had ever been with anything, to open his eyes and see the girl in front of him, telling him that she thought he was the one for her.
She should have known that living without love and care from the darn Dursleys would have made him crippled in that particular department of feelings and she was really having a hard time getting her point across.
Hermione had never been lacking ideas when she stumbled upon a problem that needed a clever and intelligent solution, she would say or write whatever needed to be said or written down and then move on to the next problem that needed to be solved. This problem was different because it involved her feelings for her best friend and hopefully his feelings for her also.
But since the subject of her immediate problem was about to walk away from her, her mind told her the most ridiculous thing to do and the intelligent part of her had only negative thoughts about the idea, but her heart took over, and commanded her body into actions.
Looking back she could only imagine what thoughts ran through Harry's mind when he was tackled from behind with Hermione's body in a reverse hug, she took a good hold on him and dug her fingers into the front of his robes to get a good grip if he indeed would try to struggle free.
Harry almost fell over and had to steady himself and Hermione by catching hold of the door out of the Gryffindor common room.
Everywhere in the room people stopped writing essays, stopped reading, stopped talking about everyday events, stopped breathing and sat perfectly still, all eyes on the latest development with Harry and Hermione.
Ron was about to make his rook take out Dean's queen in the latest game of wizard chess but he never made it. Lavender was reading her copy of the Daily Prophet but never finished the article and Ginny was in the middle of a chat with Neville when she saw his eyes become very large by the actions at the door, she herself sucked in a large breath of air and almost didn't exhale from sheer shock.
Those were the reactions of the people in the room of the forever named hug event.
"Hermione what are yo..", Harry said, but never finished the words because Hermione took a even greater hold on him by locking her legs around his hip, the surprise of that action and the apparent strength of her body was enough to render him speechless.
"I want you to understand that I like you Harry!", Hermione almost screamed into his back, "I hate it when you try to walk away if someone is trying to make you feel loved!", she was shaking violently now and the silence in the room told her that she had the undivided attention of everyone present, she couldn't care less at the moment since all her focus was on the boy she had completely engulfed in her hug.
"If the only way I can get through that big skull of yours, is to hold you tight until you understand, then better prepare to have me coming everywhere you go, when you go to eat, I will be there holding you, when you go to bed, I will be laying beside you holding you!", that last part of what she mumbled into his back made her blush violently into his robes and she could only imagine that Harry himself was pretty red all over his head, but it was worth it if she could convince him.
Harry tried to turn around to get a good look at Hermione, but instead he found himself facing all of his friends, well almost since his best friend was locked tight onto his back. In the span of three seconds before he turned around once more he managed to get a good look at the faces of the different people present and the look of pure anger and jealousy on both Ginny and Ron's faces made his stomach turn. Oh boy did he notice that look.
"Hermione please get off me!", he said with rising voice. "NO!", Hermione responded and squashed Harry even more. He was becoming quite agitated with the situation and wanted nothing more than to escape this place and the audience and solve this thing fast one way or the other, so he finally pushed the door open and struggled to get out since Hermione never once let go of him.
Once out of the common room Harry turned left and began walking as good as was possible with Hermione on his back, intent on finding a private place.
"The requirement room", he mumbled to himself, and noticed that Hermione was nodding into his back to agree with him, he sighed greatly and stumbled on to the hidden door, Hermione in tow.
