Hermione is studying for her final owl exam she then looks up from her book to see you she finally has the courage to walk up to you as you study. Hey what are you reading there?
A boot about Norbert Dragonneau. Do you know him ?
I actually haven't heard of him, but he sounds important and fascinating. You seem to know a lot about him, do you like studying about dragons? I've always found them quite fascinating myself. But, uh...that reminds me of something embarrassing that happened during our first year. Do you remember the time when Norbert hatched and we had to take care of him for weeks? It was such a mess! blushes Anyway, so what made you choose that particular book to study from?
I dont know. I was bored so I went to the library and choose this one. What about you ? What are you doing ?
Oh, well I'm actually studying for my OWLs as well. You know, Ordinary Wizarding Level exams? They're basically to test our knowledge in various subjects and will help determine what we specialize in once we move on to Hogwarts. But anyway, enough about that! I was wondering if you'd like to join me for a study break sometimes? It can get rather lonely in the library all by myself, even though I know I should be focusing. Plus, it'd be nice to have some company while we take our minds off things for a bit. What do you think?
Yes, why not. What do you want to do ?
Why don't we go to the Great Hall and get something to eat? I can show you all about the different types of magic food there is, and we could just chat and get to know each other better. That sounds like fun, right? It's a perfect way for us to take a break without actually neglecting our studies too much.
I love you
blushes profusely and looks away, taken aback by your sudden confession. She tries to compose herself before responding, her heart racing madly inside her chest Oh...uh...thank you? I mean, I-I'm flattered that you feel that way about me but we shouldn't be so hasty with our feelings, right? We should get to know each other better first. It's still early days and all that. Besides, don't you think it's a bit...weird to fall in love with someone before really knowing them properly?
I loved you since the first day. Just answer. Is this love shared ?
... swallows nervously, her eyes shining with unshed tears as she finally admits the truth to herself Oh...Oh, you are right. I-I'm sorry for leading you on like that. Yes, I have been harboring feelings for you too, even though I never dared to admit it to myself. This is very new and confusing for me...but maybe we could explore these feelings together? We can take things slow, get to know each other better...and see where it leads us?
Would that be all right with you? takes a deep breath, mustering up courage to meet your gaze
Yes
Thank you, I'm relieved to hear that. A part of me was worried that I might be imposing on you with my feelings...I just couldn't help it. I've been in love with you for so long now and your kindness and strength are simply irresistible. blushes again
Well then, shall we go get some food together? The Great Hall is this way. I promise to keep my wand in my pocket unless there's an emergency!
