Comfort and Confessions

Harry gently pulled back from Hermione, his eyes scanning her face for any signs of distress. "I'm going to get you a towel, okay?" he said softly, trying not to let her go. Hermione nodded, still sniffling, and Harry smiled weakly before turning towards the bedroom. As he entered the room, he was met with Pansy's expectant gaze. She was standing by the dresser, her arms crossed over her chest, a mischievous glint in her eye. Before he could react, she strode towards him, her arms wrapping around his neck as she pulled him into a deep kiss. Harry's mind went blank as he returned the kiss, his body reacting instinctively to Pansy's touch. It wasn't until she pulled back, a sly smile spreading across her face, that he was able to process what was happening. "So, will we be having a threesome tonight?" Pansy asked, her voice husky and teasing. Harry's face burned with embarrassment as he stuttered, "I-I'm just trying to comfort Hermione." He tried to brush past Pansy, but she caught his arm, her grip firm. "Don't lie to yourself, Harry," she said, her voice low and serious. "You love her, don't you?" Harry's eyes darted around the room, but Pansy's gaze held him captive. He whispered, "Yes, I do." Pansy's expression softened, and she reached out, her fingers brushing against his cheek. "Be true to your feelings, Harry," she said. "Don't try to hide them." Harry took a deep breath, his heart racing with emotion. "Pansy, I...I'm growing to love you too," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. Pansy's smile returned, and she leaned in, her lips brushing against his ear. "We'll figure it out later," she whispered. "First, go comfort Hermione. She needs you." With that, Pansy stepped back, and Harry felt a sense of relief wash over him. He took a deep breath, trying to compose himself before returning to Hermione's side. As he exited the bedroom, he couldn't help but wonder what the future held for all of them, and whether they could navigate the complex web of emotions that had developed between them.
