Harry listened to her and nodded "I would've killed him if he had ever told your secret if you confided in him that would've made me angry." he said and smiled over at her "I feel very protective of you Hermione.. I just want you to know that." he sighed looking not so nervous anymore
He smiled back but raised an eyebrow at what she had said to him "So.. does that mean you.. do you like me to?" he asked her "Since I am not sure if I understand what you mean exactly.." he said trying to figure it out and he bit his lip, he wanted to hold her hand but his hand felt really sweaty. He also wasn't sure if she would like him holding her hand just yet.
