A/N: I hope you like my story. Umm...that's really it. Please read and review! Enjoy!
She was sitting on a beautiful beach barefoot in a strapless sundress looking at the waves crash upon the shore and feeling a beautiful breeze blowing her golden brown locks across her face. As she was sitting there she felt a warm breath on the back of her neck. She turned and there stood seventeen year old Harry Potter. He had changed very much over the past years. He was now about six feet tall with a nice body. His hair had relaxed, but only enough for it to help his appearance. The only thing about Harry that had not changed were those eyes. Those beautiful green pools that just stared at you and seemed to look deep into your soul. She looked into those green pools of wisdom and felt that he was reading her soul, just like she always felt. He showed her that beautiful smile and she returned it, she had never felt this way about anyone before. When she looked at Harry she felt giddy inside, like she could just stare at him forever and be happy.
"Hi Harry." Hermione said
"Hi Hermione." Harry replied
"How are you?" Hermione asked
"Fine. What about you Hermione?" Harry replied
"Very good actually." Hermione said
She turned to see the sun beginning to set behind the horizon. A pink glow was beginning to cover the sky.
"Hermione..." Harry whispered
"Yeah Harry." She whispered back.
"I love you." He whispered back.
"I love you too Harry." She replied.
He turned her around so that she faced him and began to kiss her softly. The kiss became deeper and more passionate. They separated and Harry began to reach into his pocket. He had a box in his hand and Hermione's eyes began to widen. Then he began to speak.
"Hermione, will you-"
Buzzzzzzzz
'Ugh' Hermione thought. 'Why does it have to be a dream?' 'Why can't it be real? Why oh Why can't it be real?'
Hermione was into her seventh year of Hogwarts. She was Head Girl, duh, and was still the top student in the school. Her best friends Harry Potter and Ron Weasley were probably waiting for her to come down for breakfast.
'Ha ha' Hermione thought 'Ron's probably whining to Harry that he's hungry and that Hermione could meet them in the Great Hall.' 'And Harry is probably saying "Ron she's our best friend. We have to wait. Come on Ron you can hold out a little longer."'
She soon was showered and dressed ready to go to breakfast. As usual she was dressed in her robes and scarlet and gold tie. Her hair was pulled back in the messy bun that she always wore with locks of hair streaming down her face. She walked down the stairs and greeted her friends who were, as she suspected waiting in the common room.
"Hi Harry. Hi Ron" Hermione said cheerfully
"Hi Hermione. How are you this morning?" Harry asked
"Fine How are you?" She replied
"Very good. But I don't think Ron can hold out that longer." Harry said with a chuckle
"No I don't think so." Hermione said.
"Come on Ron, let's go." Harry said "Ron?"
"Where'd he go?" Hermione asked
"Come on. He won't even let his friends say hello when it comes between him and his breakfast." Harry said
"No I don't think he will." Hermione replied
They laughed about it on their way to the Great Hall. Once they arrived they saw Ron scarfing scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon while piling more into his plate.
"Hi guys." He said in between piling more bacon and sausage into his plate.
"Ron, leave some for us if you don't mind!" Harry said
"Sorry 'Arry, 'Erm, I'm hungry." He said laughing at his own joke and spraying the people around him with bits and pieces of bacon and sausage. Harry and Hermione laughed and sat down in the vacant seats next to Ron. Everyone around him had moved. They didn't want to get sprayed, just in case something really funny happened.
Harry and Hermione began munching on toast and having a conversation.
"So Hermione, how's McGonagall's class treating you?" Harry asked
"Fine, actually I'm doing quite well. What about you?" Hermione replied
"Not so well. I'm having a problem with this new transfiguration thing." Harry said and sighed "Oh well. I guess ill just fail." And he laughed.
"Harry would you like me to tutor you?" Hermione asked with excitement
"Sure Herm. That would be great. How about tonight in the common room after everyone leaves? So it can be private." Harry replied
"Yeah. That's fine." Hermione replied
They all left the Great Hall heading to Charms. That day Professor Flitwick was teaching them about Sleeping Charms. Hermione wasn't really paying attention, she had read about them ages ago. She was thinking about the upcoming tutoring session with Harry.
'I'm going to be alone, in the common room, with Harry!' She couldn't contain herself. She was so happy. She could scream to the heavens, 'I'M GOING TO BE ALONE WITH HARRY POTTER." "I LOVE HIM!" Hermione just thought about the words that had just crossed her mind. I love him. She didn't know what that meant. She had never felt this way about anyone before, but was it love, she didn't know. She wouldn't know until the feeling was returned to her, but her thoughts would just have to wait. The bell rang and they all filed out of the classroom, Hermione following her friends, still thinking about those three words.
