Red Rose
"Hermione?" Nineteen year old Harry called gently through the door of Hermione's apartment, trying not to scare her as it was just past one' o'clock on Christmas morning.
"Harry!?" Hermione rushed to the door and pulled it open; she had just gotten up to get a glass of water, and was surprised when she heard her new boyfriend's voice at the door. Well not really new, they had been best friends for eight years, but they had only started dating a month ago.
Both Harry and Hermione had blushes on their faces when Hermione opened the door, in her rush to get to Harry; Hermione didn't notice she was only wearing a see-through night top and panties; no bra.
"Hermione you look great-sorry I mean I missed you, and you do look great, I'm not trying to be sexist or anything but--"
Hermione leaned forward and pressed her lips against his, cutting him off; before withdrawing quickly with her cheeks bright red, both Harry and herself had never really touched much, they were both shy in the physical area of their relationship, preferring to sit down and talk for hours.
"I missed you too." Hermione told him, which was true, she had just being dreaming about him, dreaming about Harry touching her in all different places, while she moaned his name; as Hermione was thinking about this her cheeks reddened even more.
"Merry Christmas." Harry smiled.
Hermione blinked. "Oh! Christmas!"
"I know it's early but I wanted to give you this." He held out a red rose for her to take.
She reached for the beautiful rose, and as her fingers touched it, the rose transformed into a dove, and the dove was holding a golden necklace, with a sparkling green stone in the middle, nearly the same colour as Harry's sparkling green eyes.
"Oh Harry." Hermione said, with her chocolate brown eyes wide. "It's beautiful."
Harry smiled. "Turn it over."
Hermione did, on the other side of the green stone were the words 'Hermione, You are my life.'
"Oh Harry!" Hermione pulled Harry in for another kiss, this one longer, with more passion.
Harry wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist, at the same time Hermione threw her arms around his shoulders.
The kiss seemed to last for hours, both of them forgetting about time altogether.
When they finally broke apart, both Harry and Hermione whispered together "Merry Christmas." Then they both started laughing, with their arms around each other.
"It's a shame that rose was just a spell, it was beautiful." Hermione smiled into Harry's shoulder.
"You're more beautiful than any rose I've ever seen." Harry whispered, kissing Hermione's forehead.
