Hermione stared at Harry and Draco as the two men kissed. She tried to not feel uncomfortable, but she was. Don't get her wrong. She wasn't uncomfortable with two men together, or even Harry and Draco together. In fact, she found the picture they made to be quite sexy.

What she was uncomfortable with was her inclusion.

Her eyes left them and moved to the floor, and she swallowed.

She hadn't noticed that Harry and Draco had stopped their activities or were paying attention to her until Harry asked, "Hermione? Aren't you going to join us?"

Hermione looked up and she must have looked like a deer caught in headlights because Harry broke away from the blond's embrace and slowly moved to her.

"Hermione? What's wrong?" Harry asked, green eyes intent on hers as his voice shook slightly.

She wondered what he was thinking to make his voice tremble like that.

Draco might not be the most sensitive, but even he sensed her whirling emotions because while Harry sat on her left side, Draco sat on her right side. "Hermione? What is it?" he asked in his steady voice. Between Harry and Draco, Hermione instinctively knew Draco was the rock.

She took a deep breath. She knew she had to tell them what she was feeling or the three of them would never be able to move forward. She had to fix how she felt, and the only way to do it was to talk about it.

"I'm not sure if I belong with the two of you," she quietly confessed. She closed her eyes and waited for their reactions.

"That's crazy," Harry blurted without thinking.

Hermione opened her eyes. "It is?"

Harry rested a hand on hers. "Of course. I love you. I've always loved you."

"You love Draco, though," Hermione pointed out.

"What? I'm not allowed to love two people? Because I do. My love for Draco has nothing to do with my love for you."

"Why do you love me?" Hermione had to ask. She didn't see what Harry saw when he looked at her.

Harry grinned. "That's easy. You're pretty, smart, brave, and loyal. When I couldn't trust anyone else, I always knew I could trust you. I can't imagine my life without you."

Her heart warmed, and she believed his words. That only left one other person. She turned to the third person in their group who had remained silent during Harry and Hermione's heart-to-heart. "Draco? Are you okay with me worming my way into your relationship with Harry? I mean, you can't be happy with what Harry wants."

Draco's grey eyes narrowed. "Why do you think it's something that only Harry wants? I'll admit that I'm not in love with you yet, but I know I will fall in love given time, and I'm already physically attracted to you. I want you with us just as much as Harry does. It always felt like something was missing between Harry and me, and I think you might be able to fill the gaping hole."

She blushed at his heartfelt words. She still had doubts that this would work—maybe she was too logical for her own good—but at least she now knew she was wanted by the both of them.

"Will you be with us, Hermione?" Harry asked.

"Truly be with us?" Draco elaborated.

She simply nodded and closed her eyes when both of them kissed her on the cheek. When they each took a hand, she allowed herself to just go with it and see what might happen in the future.
