Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling. I'm just trying to practise my English here ;)

Hermione Granger sat in her favourite chair with a huge book on her laps. She was moving her eyes across the lines trying her best not to lose her focus, but the harder she tried the more difficult it became. Eventually, she gave up. She took her eyes off her book and looked across the room. They were sitting right there immersed in their own world, all happy and fluffy.

'Can you please stop using this book in front of me?' Hermione asked, clearly irritated. Harry shut the potion book up and looked at her angry face.

'Can you please stop shouting at me when you are mad at someone else?' He snapped back not even looking at her.

'I am far from being mad!' She said putting her book aside and forcing him to look at her.

'Oh, please you have your emotions written all over your face.'

'And since when you are so thoughtful that you can see it so clearly?'

'Just stop looking at them every five seconds so maybe it won't be so obvious to me or everybody else in this room!'

'I'm not looking at anybody!'

'Right, you are staring.' He admitted with painful grimace on his face.

'Maybe, I'm but they should stop doing it in front of everybody, it's disgusting!' She admitted hotly.

'If you wouldn't be so wrap up about your feeling towards Ron you could see that the only person who cares about their behaviour is you!'

'I have no feelings for Ron!' She blushed furiously.

'Merlin, Hermione. How stupid do you think I am? Aren't they a reason for all of this McLaggen nonsense?'

'Oh, I have to admit it wasn't my brightest idea but give me a break I'm not used to such stupid games.'

'Just keep it simple! You know, what? You used a fish when you definitely should have used a shark' He said thoughtfully.

'Use a shark?' She snorted. 'Is this even a legit phrase? And who do you think the shark is?'

'I am.'

'What?' She looked at him not sure what he was talking about.

'Oh, come on. If you want to catch Ron's attention you should make out with me.'

'Harry, are you listening to yourself?'

'Just think for a while.' He started, apparently very excited with his new idea. 'He tends to be jealous about my life, it's bullshit of course, because my life is nothing more than a mess but if he thought I got you, he would want you instantly.'

'He had never wanted Cho for the record.'

'Yes, but he had never fancied her and as far as I'm concerned he fancies you but he's too stubborn to admit it.' He said not discouraged by doubt in her voice.

'And you think kissing you in public can change that?'

'Isn't it worth trying? You snogged McLaggen, you can as well snog me.'

'You realize that you just insulted me?' She asked still a bit ashamed of her previous behaviour.

'Oh, come on, you are the good girl, I know that, you know that.'

'Maybe I'm but I'm not a good kisser' She said, her chicks turning red instantly.

'When I last kissed a girl, she cried.' He said, laughing. 'I bet you can't beat that!'

'I feel like it's a very stupid idea. You are my best friend for God's sake how could I kiss you?'

'Just forget it's me. You can imagine it's Ron.' She frowned her brows. She didn't like his idea at all. 'Or Leonardo DiCaprio.'

'Leonardo DiCaprio?' She tried to laugh but she was a bit too nervous. 'Harry, come on we should just forget about this stupid idea.'

'Ok, whatever' He said shrugging. 'Just you know... erm... It's not like I'm trying to force you to kiss me. It was just for you and Ron' He added after a while not sure if she fully understood his intentions.

She just nodded, glancing one more time across the room. For a mere second she was sure Ron was looking at her too. He was smiling at her, wasn't he?

'Wait, it can sound stupid but if it works maybe it's worth trying.' She decided suddenly and moved toward him on the couch. They were now sitting arm to arm.

She looked at him not sure what she supposed to do next. Should she just touch his lips with hers? Should it look romantic or maybe even passionate to catch Ron's attention? Should she feel anything at all? She noticed that Harry lost his excited look and seemed to be very nervous. Nervousness. She felt it too. Her palms became sweaty. Her heart beat unlikely fast. She was sure her eyes were shining with panic.

Suddenly she felt warm touch on her right cheek. Harry put a strain of her hair behind her ear and slowly moved his face toward hers. Beyond everything else she was confused. Should she stop it? But before she did anything, Harry closed the distance between them. His lips on hers felt just warm and soft. She had thousands of thought speeding across her mind but before she managed to silence all of them it was over.

If she had any doubts about Ron's reaction, all of them had been gone in a second as he emerged in front of them almost instantly.

'Can you stop being such a drama queen?' He said angrily looking at Hermione with disbelief.

'What?' She asked, not fully aware of what was happening right in front of her.

'First you snogged McLaggen on that stupid party and now you forced Harry into kissing you in the middle of the very crowded common room. What are you trying to prove to me?'

'And why on Earth do you think it has anything to do with you?'

'Come on, you are just so jealous of me and Lavender that you are doing everything to get my attention. You can't really accept that I'm happy and you are a single.'

'I don't care about you and your little...'

'Hermione!' Harry put his hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her down.

'And if you have to know, I'm not a single any more. I'm with Harry now.'

'Oh, please' He said, bursting out laughing. 'I don't see Harry here is going to back up your made up story, right mate?'

'Actually, we are kind of together now... erm... we just need some more time to figure it out.'

'Blimey, you are covering for her.' He said, shaking his head. 'Or you just support her stupid idea of sabotaging my relationship. Either way I'm sick of it!'

Hermione looked at Harry with panic in her eyes. What's just happened?
