"Hermione? Are you okay?"

Hermione Granger, her eyes all puffy, looked up from her reading in the library to find her best friend, Susan Bones of Hufflepuff.

"Hi Susie, I'm fine, really, it's just, ugh," Hermione trailed off.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Susan as she sat down next to her best friend.

"I'm so confused, Susie, what am I going to do?"

Susan placed an arm around her best friend. Hermione cried into her shoulder.

"Love sucks, doesn't it?" asked Susie. "Who's the guy?" Hermione went into full detail, about before the Quiddich game, the kissing and everything.

"You kissed Harry AND Ron?" whispered Susan. "Whoa."

"Well, I only kissed Ron on the cheek, but I kissed Harry smack-dab on the lips!" wailed Hermione. "I'm so confused, what am I to do?" Hermione put her hands in her head.

"Who do you love, Ron, or Harry?" asked Susan.

"I love both of them, but, I don't know..." said Hermione quietly.

"Let your heart be your guide, and if your heart tells you Harry, then tell him. Same with Ron." Hermione smiled at her best friend.

"Thanks Susie."

"Welcome Mione."

Hermione took a deep breath. There he was, sitting, studying for his owls. God, he was gorgeous. Those beautiful eyes, that unruly hair, it made her want to touch him all over. She walked towards him and sat down next to him on the red Gryffindor couch.

"Hey Mione," he said as she sat nest to him. He grinned.

"Hi, listen, there's something I have to tell you."

"So do I," he said.

"Well, tell me before I tell you," said Hermione.

"No, you first."

"Alright, I-, err well, that is," began Hermione

"What Mione?"

"I love you." There, she said it. And quickly too.

He grinned and sighed. "Mione, I love you too."

"OH HARRY!" she cried and she hugged him as hard as she could. Harry, grinning like the Cheshire cat, leaned down and kissed her full on the lips. Hermione returned the kiss, and they melted together on the couch, never wanting to let go.

"So, does this mean you're over with Cho?" asked Hermione, as they broke apart.

"Actually, I was planning on breaking up with her tomorrow anyways," said Harry, his green eyes twinkling.

"Good, or I would have hurt you. Oh, by the way, I'm breaking up with Viktor. I couldn't stand him asking about the two of us anymore. And how are we going to tell Ron?"

"Oh man, I hadn't thought about that," said Harry.

"Perhaps when you break up with Cho, we'll tell him why."

"Good idea," said Harry. And they kissed again, disappearing out of sight from everything else.

"Well?" Ron said finally, looking up at Harry. "How was it?"
Harry considered for a moment.

"Wet," he said truthfully... "Because she was crying," Harry continued heavily.

"Oh," said Ron, his smile fading slightly. "Are you that bad at kissing?"

"Dunno," said Harry, who hadn't considered this, and immediately felt rather worried. "Maybe I am."

"Of course you're not," said Hermione absently, still scribbling away at her letter.

"How do you know?" said Ron in a sharp voice.

Oh shit, I did not just say that...

thought Hermione as she looked at Harry.

""Well, I suppose it could have been worse," said Hermione. "Are you going to see her again?"

"I'll have to, won't I? I mean, we've got D.A. meetings, haven't we?"

"You know what I mean," said Hermione impatiently. Ron just stared at them as they said nothing.

"I'm off to bed," she said a few minutes later. She kissed Harry on the cheek, and to make it look like it was friendly, kissed Ron on the cheek too and marched up the stairs.

This is going to be harder than we thought it was going to be,

thought Hermione.

"Bye guys," said Ron as he and the Weasleys disappeared from the platform. Harry, Hermione, the Dursleys, Lupin, Tonks, and Moody were the only ones left.

"Are you coming boy?" asked Vernon.

"Yes Uncle Vernon, hang on a minute," said harry. He walked with Hermione to greet her parents and he kissed her on the lips.

"It's going to be a difficult summer," said Hermione, "but we'll manage."

"If you want Harry," said Paul Granger, "we'll have Hermione owl Dumbledore to se if you'd like to come to our house for the summer."

"That'd be great!" said Harry. "You know where I'll be," he said to Hermione.

"I know," said Hermione, "I love you."

Harry grinned. "I love you too." He kissed her again and returned to his uncle, grinning at the others. Lupin grinned, Tonks winked, and Moody gave him a nod as he grabbed his things and walked away from the station.

Hermione sighed and Mia Granger put a hand on her shoulder.

"So, have you told the red head about you two yet?" asked Mia.

"No, we're afraid to." Hermione sighed.

"Is Harry a good kisser?" asked Mia.

"MOM!" she cried. Mia laughed. Hermione looked at her mother, while her father just chuckled.

"No Mom, he's not."

Mia raised an eyebrow. "But you guys just..."

"I know, but I meant to say something else."

"What was that dear?"

"He's a Great Kisser."
