He softly touched her bottom lip with his finger then straightened up. “The more you ignore me, the closer I get.”

“What’s that cryptic statement supposed to mean?” Hermione was subconsciously running her fingers over the same spot he had touched.

“You’re a smart girl. Let me know when you figure it out.” She tried very hard not to admire his backside as he left her sitting there befuddled.

Two weeks had passed since the incident in the library. Two weeks with no Blaise, she missed the smarmy git. She found no joy in going to the library because he was no longer there.

“You miss him don’t you?” Ginny asked as she sat down beside her friend at dinnertime.

“Miss who?” Hermione inquired innocently.

“You know who. The one you are always staring at during mealtimes.” Ginny gestured towards the Slytherin table.

Hermione hung her head and started pushing her peas around her plate. “Maybe I do,” she mumbled.

“Well according to a reliable source he’s been very irritable lately. Something or someone has him upset.” Ginny smiled to herself as she watched this bit of news sink in.

“Hermione I’ve never seen you back down easily before. If you want something you usually go after it. That’s what I did. Do you think I stood by patiently waiting for Draco to admit his feelings for me?” Ginny laughed.

Hermione looked up to catch Blaise staring at her. He quickly looked away. Ginny was right, if Hermione wanted something she’d have to go after it.

She stood up and strode across the Great Hall quickly before she had a chance to lose her courage. As she approached Blaise he stood up and faced her. She grabbed his robes and pulled him to her. Before he could react she had her hand behind his head, tangled in his hair and was pulling his lips down to meet hers. When he returned the kiss with much enthusiasm she sighed into his mouth and relaxed.

He reluctantly pulled his lips away from hers and placed his forehead against hers. “I had begun to lose hope in your intelligence,” he whispered.

They smiled at each other and left the stunned population of the Great Hall behind them as they walked out hand in hand.
