"How am i supposed to stay underwater for an hour? And what was that about merpeople?" I started to panic inside

"Harry there are merpeople in black lake. You just have to avoid them and about the breathing underwater thing, i have no clue. We will have to ask someone like Moody"

"Okay" Her saying that makes me feel loads better

"So what do we do now?" She asks moving closer to me in the water

I met her in the middle and kissed her. She instantly responded by moving her legs around my sides allowing me between her thighs. I pressed her against the inside of the tub and pushed my tongue in between her lips.

"Harry calm down, I can feel how fast your heart is racing" She whispers

I kissed her once again moving my hand up slowly along her back. She suddenly moves her arms around my neck and stops kissing me.

"I love you you know that"

"I love you too, and Merlin you have no idea what you do to me" I tell her

"I think i have an idea" She says rubbing her hands along my arm

"Hermione....not that i don't enjoy being with you like this, but the perfects are going to be patrolling anytime now and i don't want to get caught" I told her stopping her hands, she moved back and looked at me sadly

"You're so responsible. I love you for it" She gives one last kiss allowing me to look at her one more time

We both got out of the bath and dried off. Once finished we walked hand in hand back to the common room. We walked inside and disconnected our hands. I saw most of the gryffindors hanging around playing wizard chess or studying. We both looked over at the couch but it seems to be taken up by people. There was only one chair left, Hermione saw me pondering what to do.

"I'm just going to go to my room and change" She explains, how did she know exactly what i was thinking?

I looked around to see a few looks but otherwise we were unnoticed. I went up to my room to see Ron sitting on his bed reading some book about quidditch. At first he didn't notice me but then he quickly stood up.

"Harry I'm so sorry! I never should have said those things about you and Hermione. Dean and Seamus brought me up to speed about last night. Please I'm so sorry. I was a drunken bloke who was just pissed at my mum"

"It's not me you owe an apology to. You said awful things about Hermione and what of Parvati? You barely payed attention to her, she was crushed. You need to go make things right" I tell him calmly, but inside i felt like hitting him

"I will i promise. But....Hermione needs to make things right with Ginny. I found her crying earlier because of her fight with Hermione. She wants to be friends again. All of us should be friends. We never should have stopped and i feel like i caused this" Ron explains in a pleading tone

"You need to tell Hermione that. She is downstairs"

Ron quickly walked out the door and made his way downtown. I really hoped Hermione forgives him, i missed my best friend.

I sat on my bed and just stared at the ceiling. I closed my eyes and brought myself back to earlier in the bathtub. Hermione looked beautiful. I can't believe out of every guy, she chose me. She could of had Viktor Krum but she chose me instead.

Hermione's pov

I was sitting on the couch reading a book trying to control my still wet hair. Just then i looked up to see Ron approch me.

"Can we talk?" He asks shyly

"You better be here to apologize, if not you might as well leave now"

"Hermione I'm so sorry about last night. I never should have said those things to you. Any guy will be lucky to date a girl like you. I was just mad that Harry never told me and how close you two have been lately....i was drunk and i was stupid. Please forgive me" He says sincerely

I am shocked a first. I never knew Ron to be so kind and sincere. He was drunk, so it wasn't completely his fault.

"Thank you" I stood up and give him a quick hug before sitting back down

"I'm glad were friends again. Now about you and Ginny...."

"Ron. We are not friends right now. Once Ginny comes to me and apologizes for this morning, i will easily forgive her and we can be friends again but until then i won't be talking to her" I told him not letting him finish talking

He looked disappointed at first but then walks back up to his room.

Harry's pov

As I laid there on my bed, i realized my hair is still wet so put my towel down and laid on it. I then heard the door open.

"Harry i think we're good again. We hugged and she forgave me. She said she wants us all to be friends again just like before. Although she doesn't want to have anything to do this Ginny" Ron says

I got up and gave him a quick hug causing him to laugh.

"Let's go. We need to head down for dinner" I tell him

We headed to the great hall and sat our usual spots. In an instant Ron grabs two plates full of food and begins shoving the food in his mouth. Hermione and I looked at him then at each other, i can tell we are both thinking the same thing. Just like old times.
