Harry was walking up to the front door of a white normal muggle apartment where his best friend, Hermione, lives. He couldn't stand having to live with the Dursley's for another month, and Hermione had asked him to come and live with her in her new apartment that where she lives with her older sister Jenny.
Harry knocked twice before someone answered. Jenny opened the door. "Hey, Harry right?"
"Hi you must be Jenny." He said hesitating.
"Yeah, come on in," she said opening the door wider. "here let me help you this must be heav-'
"Harry!" came a soft soothing voice Harry knew too well. "Hey." She went over to where Harry stood and gave him a big hug. "You meet my sister Jenny?" she asked.
"Yeah I did", "Nice meeting you" he said to Jenny.
"You too." She said then turned to talk to Hermione. "Great so I'll see you guys again in two week."
"Oh? Where are you going?" he asked calmly.
"I need to just go out of town for a couple of weeks, business trip." Said Jenny. "Anyways," she said as she picked up her bags. "see you guys soon k'? Don't get into any trouble."
"We won't" Harry and Hermione said in unison. After that Jenny left.
"Come, I'll show you where you'll be sleeping." Said Hermione leading Harry around the apartment showing him around. "Here's the kitchen and the living room." She said then went down a short hallway "This is Jenny's room." She said pointing at a door to the right. Then walked down a little more. "That will be your room and this is my room right here." She said and pointed to the room with an open door on which there was a big sign that said 'Princess Is In'
"Great then" said Harry. "I'll just drop my bags here"
"Ok. You hungry." she asked.
"Not really."
"Come on, I'll order pizza."
Harry nodded slightly
"Good."
After a box of pizza and two movies Harry and Hermione were getting really tired and decided to go to bed. Hermione couldn't sleep, or at least she didn't feel like going to bed. She was sitting in her room on her bed with an emerald green comforter, cross-legged with a big pink pillow at her feet. She had nothing better to do so she was doing her nails while listening to her cd player. She heard a light knock on her door. "Come in" she said softly. "Sorry did I wake you"
"No I.. I couldn't fall asleep, thought I heard you awake." Harry went over to the arm-chair at the corner of Hermione's room. "God, it's nice to get away from the wizarding world for a change."
"Yeah it is, but don't get get used to it we're going to school in a couple of weeks remamber."
"Yeah I know. You like living in the muggle world?"
"Yep," she said and then looked up at Harry "I like to call it the Real world, it's kind of hard fitting in with two different places at once you know what I mean?"
Harry ndded as he looked around her room. It was a typical 15 year old girl's room. Her walls were light periwinkle blue, and here window had orange and pink short drapes flowing from it. On here wooden night stand was a mirror five of six candles and a couple of picture frames. He could see her open closet door and her bookshelf. On her desk there was a computer. He was sure more than ever of asking her one question, "Herm… do you ever wish you could go back?" He began and with that he got her full attention.
"What do you mean?" she asked confused.
"I mean, do you ever wish that you weren't a witch…That you could live in the real world the whole time…. Be part of only one place where you don't need magic to get through life?" after those word Harry was stading right next to Hermione's bed she was now looking at him in the eyes thinking in her head trying to carefully pick the words. And then she finally said.
"Honestly?….." she looked around her room then shutting her eyes and then look back at Harry. After a long pause she said "……..all the time."
Harry could see there was a single tear on her cheek. He suddenly wished he'd never asked that question. Then quickly said " Oh god Hermione, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to…."
"It's alright.. Do you?"
Harry stood there for a moment then slowly sat on the bed and nodded. "Of course" he said softly. "All my life I've lived in this one environment where kids grew up went to school, went to college, got jobs, moved to a small town and started a family. Where people learned about how the universe works and the way life is. And then all of the sudden I find out that I belong to a completely different world. A world of magic." Harry finished now looking straight at Hermione.
"If you could go back….Would you?"
"I…I don't know"
Hermione was on the verge of tears
"Oh, Hermione please don't cry, I didn't mean to bring this up I sorry I did"
"No….Don't be."
"I had no idea you felt that way."
"I guess it's just remorse. It'll pass"
"Maybe"
Hermione was now crying. Harry slowly embraced her "Shh. It's okay Herm. Don't cry." He kissed her softly on the head then she slowly pulled away looking deep into his eyes trying to break into a smile. He slowly leaned in and she knew what he wanted to go he needed her and she needed him at this moment. He moved in closer and brushed his lips over hers lightly and softly running his fingers through her hair moving it away from her face. Pushing her gently onto he back and kissing her neck and then went back to her mouth slowly kissing her now his tongue had a mind of it's own as it explored her mouth. Then her hand was in his hair and he was kissing her neck again then she slowly pulled away and so did he "Harry..." She looked deeper in his eyes and he knew what she was going to say, "please, just not tonight"
"You're right… we shouldn't" he got up to leave, but Hermione stopped him.
"Wait, stay here please. I don't wanna be alone." Harry nodded and laid next to her on her bed facing her and slowly running his hand over hers.
Harry knocked twice before someone answered. Jenny opened the door. "Hey, Harry right?"
"Hi you must be Jenny." He said hesitating.
