Hermione didn't think she was the type of girl to do this sort of thing, to lead up to something intimate so early on in a relationship. But this wasn't a normal situation, not the place they were in nor the relationship. She had loved him for so long she just hadn't realised. She wanted to wait for someone worth the intimacy, that she could trust completely, and Harry really was that. He was her best friend, the only person who had never really been disloyal other than in a normal argument. She responded to the kiss, her mind still turning as she continually thought this through. Even if she was going to let her heart decide what happened here, her brain couldn't shut off completely.
