"No?" he cooed and kissed her forehead. Hermione wanted to feel upset, but it did feel gratifying that he was openly affectionate. "I never thought for a moment you'd really like me." He whispered and she blinked at him shocked before he pulled at her guiding her out towards their duties just after lunch. She felt speechless, and felt hurt in a lot of ways. It wasn't that she hated him. He had apologized to her, and it felt good to have someone openly showing their affection. The few times just after the war she had tried with Ron he seemed embarrassed by it.
