A/N- heyy :) not sure if i like this idea but here it is anyway
All characters obviously dont belong to me but to JK Rowling :)x
From the outside they look like any other normal couple but it doesn't take a genius to realise that when the boy-who-lived finally found love, it was anything but normal.
Harry had just been woken up by the thunder and sudden flashes of lightening from outside the window in the boy's dorm. This wouldn't have been a problem only getting back to sleep seemed impossible.
Padding down the steps barefoot, Harry paused to hear the shuffling of someone sitting in one of the common room chairs. And sure enough as he reached the bottom of the steps, he saw none other than Hermione sitting curled up in the chair nearest the fire with her face hidden against the chair.
Sitting there in her plaid pyjama bottoms and a tank top, with her curly hair falling out of its bobble, he had to say she looked younger than her age.
The helpless look in her eyes as she lifted her head startled him to say the least.
He'd never seen Hermione looking anything but confident and strong
"Hermione, what's wrong? Are you ok?"
"I... I'm fine Harry, just not to fond of thunder and lightening, stupid isn't it" and she gave out a nervous laugh only for another flash of lightening to startle her.
Silently laughing to himself he walked over to the chair she had settled herself in and curled up next to her. When the next flash of lightening came she turned and buried her face in his chest, and he didn't mind. Placing his arm carefully round her he realised that he felt very protective of her; he didn't want her to be scared and wanted to be the one that helped her.
At some point during the night they both feel asleep.
Ron found them the next morning with their legs intertwined, Hermione's head resting on Harry's chest whilst his arms cradled her.
They walked into the great hall holding hands that morning and to say everything fell silent would be the understatement of the year.
Had someone been looking at the old headmaster instead of at the new couple they might have seen the small smile playing across his lips and the knowing look in his eyes as he remembered Lily and James Potter.
