Hermione waited until she heard Ginny’s steps travel up the stairs to their dormitory before she moved. Still in shock, she reached up and gently touched her fingers to her lips. The book that was on her lap tumbled to the floor, and she cringed. Hopefully Ginny hadn’t heard the noise. It wasn’t everyday that your best friend kissed you. Your best female friend nonetheless. Ginny really had a way of surprising Hermione whether she was pulling off a challenging move on her broom or apparently kissing her in the common room.

Hermione blushed a little, enjoying the warm sensation in her cheeks. Ginny had kissed her. She hugged her knees to her chest, book forgotten for once, and concentrated on figuring out what it all meant. Honestly, Hermione sighed at herself. She likes you. Obviously. Or else she wants to snog you randomly. Either way, it could turn out alright for the both of them.

Hermione jumped when the fire crackled and let out a giggle at her nervous behavior. Sure, it wasn’t a regular thing to be kissed by Ginny, but it was no reason to get bent out of shape either. Hermione stared into the flames, trying to picture the look on Ron’s face when she told him that she was dating his sister. She smirked into the dimly lit room before realizing that, like usual, she was getting ahead of herself.

It hadn’t been too long ago that Hermione had realized exactly which Weasley she had a crush on. She had been eating in the Great Hall one morning and just looked over at Ginny, who was crunching down on a piece of toast. Her heart had gotten stuck in her chest and she longed to brush the crumbs off the side of Ginny’s mouth. At the time, she had been thoroughly confused and managed to hide a rather untimely gasp by pretending to choke on her toast. This earned her a thump on the back from Ron and a sympathetic frown from Ginny. That had been a couple of months ago, and she’d been looking at Ginny differently ever since.

A plan; she needed a plan. Well, perhaps Ginny had a plan. She did kiss her in the common room after all. Though, it would have gone better had she been awake and not came to with Ginny’s warm lips pressed against her own. She nearly shouted, but quickly contained herself. Whatever she did, Hermione couldn’t rush into anything. She nodded to herself and bent down to pick up the book that was lying open on the rug. She smiled as she walked up to her room, perfectly content with giving the situation some thought. She’d watch Ginny for a few days to try and figure out what the other girl was thinking, and then she’d come up with some surprises of her own. That night, Hermione fell asleep with her fingers pressed against her lips, remembering how soft Ginny’s mouth had felt against hers. She woke up smiling.
