"I was admiring you"

I discreetly put the Aegis onto my face. Seeing numbers that told me how I was doing with Hermione.

Hermione Granger

15% Chance for a date

Those numbers were so low. But it was slightly increased from last time. If I gave it a boost I could increase the chances.

I cleared my throat, because nothing was worse than a squeaky voice with these matters. I mean, it would make a lot more sense to just tell her the truth. That I was caught admiring her. Admiring her freckles, or the gentle curve of her brow as she focused on a problem. I mean, here I was still staring at her face, memorizing every detail of it, as she grew steadily less patient for my answer.

"Idius," said Hermione. I should give her an answer.

"You caught me admiring you," I said, "you have a really cute face." Hermione's face instantly changed color. And the words seemed stuck in her throat.

tttchhh

The door behind me closed, and I turned to see both Padma and Michael behind me. Hermione fumbled for an answer.

"Idius," said Hermione. Her hand covered part of her face. "You were admiring me. I mean, you have never tried talking to me, and before now I thought you hated me to be truthful." I did hate her only a few weeks ago honestly, but I was certain the hatred was mutual.

I didn't know how Padma was taking this.

"I don't know how to respond to be honest," said Hermione, "thank you." Hermione nearly tripped as she stepped away from the table.

"I don't know you yet Idius, You never have tried even talking to me. I don't even know if you are a good guy." Hermione began to leave the room. "I will talk to you later." She waved as she left, leaving me with my friends.

What did she mean 'I don't even know if you are a good guy.'
