"Really?" he asked, pleasantly surprised that she would agree at all. He knew she had been hurt by what had happened last time. He figured she would have wanted to guard her heart better (after all, Hermione was always the rational one), especially knowing that Harry was supposed to end up with Ginny, and she with Ron. It hurt to think of that, so Harry pushed it out of his mind.
"I'd be fine with taking it slow." He was more than fine with it. He was excellent. His hand went out on the couch cushion before he quickly pulled it back to rest on his knee. Harry smiled nervously at her. Holding her hand right away wasn't exactly moving slow, was it?
