Just So You Know, Hermione

HP/HG

Disclaimer: I do not own the mighty Harry Potter or the fabulous Hermione Granger or any other bothersome, yet hilarious trouble making friends. Although, I do own Carson, yippee... Hope you enjoy reading the story though…. And no, I do not own Jesse McCartney's song Just So You Know, either.

Chapter 1:

"Well Gin, tonight's the night." I said while buttoning my vest. "Yep, I just can't believe you're moving Harry." I know it looks bad now the great Harry Potter moving away from his friends and family, but I have to. I'm an Auror now and they need me in a different location, they put me in France. And tonight's my going away party and the night I tell Hermione I love her. "Alright Harry, are you ready to go?" I tried to smooth my hair down one last time, but gave up and said "I'm ready." And with that we were in Ginny's car on the way to the party. My car is waiting for me at my new house and lately I've been staying with Ginny, so just letting you know. We finally got to the club and found a spot to park. Ginny parked the car and we made our way into the club. Surprisingly, Draco let us use his club for the party. Wasn't that nice of him? Oh, there's my girl….. And she's with Blaise. Great D=

And here she comes now…"Harry! You look great, how are you?" She gave me a hug and I answered "Hey Hermione, I doing great actually. How about you?" She grabbed two drinks from a passing waiter and handed me one of them, I nodded in thanks and she said "I'm doing great." "That's good." We both smiled and began to mingle with the others. Most of them were old schoolmates like Dean, Seamus, Luna, Neville, etc. They were sad to see me go, but wished me luck otherwise.

I just checked my watch and it's 8 o' clock, which means karaoke. "Hey guys! Is everyone having a good time?" Ginny's voice echoed and the crowd responded in a cheerful manner. "Well good, we're gonna be singing karaoke so if you haven't signed up yet and still want to, you can. First up is, well me: Ginny Weasley with *Love Story*." And of course when Ginny finished her song everyone applauded, Draco even bought her a drink. And if I'm right I'm up next. Oh boy….

"Okay up next is our party boy Harry Potter with *Just So You Know* I got off of my barstool and took the stage, you have no idea how nervous I was at the moment. "Hey guys, before I sing I'd like to dedicate this song to Miss Hermione Granger." I couldn't see her, but I could tell she blushed at my words. And so I began to sing,

"I shouldn't love you, but I want to I just can't turn away I shouldn't see you, but I can't move I can't look away and I don't know how to be fine when I'm not 'cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop just so you know this feeling's taking control of me and I can't help it I won't sit around I can't let him win now thought you should know I've tried my best to let go of you, but I don't want to I just gotta say it all before just so you know it's getting hard to be around you there's so much I can't say do you want me to hide the feelings and look the other way and I don't know how to be fine when I'm not 'cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop just so you know this feeling's taking control of me and I can't help it I won't sit around I can't let him win now thought you should know I've tried my best to let go of you, but I don't want to I just gotta say it all before I go just so you you know this emptiness is killing me I'm wondering why I waited so long looking back I realized it was always there just never spoken I've been waiting here, been waiting here just so you know this feeling's taking control of me and I can't help it I won't sit around I can't let him win now thought you should know I've tried my best to let go of you but I don't want to just gotta say it all before I go just o you know…"

The music ended a few seconds later and the whole crow applauded; it really felt good because for once they weren't applauding because I defeated a Dark Wizard, they were applauding because I sang a song for the girl I love ^_^ After the crowd stopped applauding I stepped off the stage and started to look for Hermione. And there she is at the bar, "You were great onstage, Harry." I smiled and said "Thanks Hermione." And I need to talk to you about something. Is it alright if we go upstairs, Malfoy?" He gave a sly grin and stated, "Of course Potter, here's the key." And he handed it to me, "Thanks." And with that Hermione and I walked upstairs to the loft/hideaway, I guess you could call it.

"So, what'd you want to talk to me about, Harry?" I was so damn nervous, what if she rejects me? What if she leaves and we never speak again? …Here goes… I clear my throat and say "I love you, Hermione. I realized it in second year when you were petrified; I thought I lost you, but I used to sit with you and talk to you, stoking your hand." She leaned over and gave me a hug and asked "So, is that why you sang that particular song earlier? Seeing as you're moving soon…" I nodded "I'm glad you told me, Harry because I love you too." Wait! Did I hear the right words? Am I imaging this? AM I ON SOMETHING? Before I could even make sure my head was on straight Hermione kissed me. You know for her being nothing but my best friend for all these years, she's a great kisser ;) By the end of that last thought we released and I sat there staring into her wonderful brown eyes. She was practically sitting on my lap at this point, "Hermione?" She looked up. "Yeah Harry?" "Would you like to come to France with me?" Her whole face lit up like a Hogwart's Christmas tree, "As in, to live with you in France?" "Yeah, why not?" "Oh, Harry I'd love too!" I kissed her once more, but this time on the forehead. "You know Hermione; you took this a lot better than I expected you to." We were holding hands, "Well Harry, you're my best friend, how could I not love you?"

We were downstairs; again so I tossed Draco the key and put an arm around Hermione, we look great together. I wasn't really paying attention to anything, but Hermione especially when we were slow dancing. She had her hands on the back of my neck and her head on my chest, while I had my hands on the small of her back and my head resting on hers. When the song ended it looked like a spotlight dance for Hermione and I. For once I didn't mind the attention. And when I leaned down to kiss her, I heard nothing but wolf whistles. When we finally released Ron and the rest of the old gang ran up to us and congratulated us. Hermione was dragged off by the girls, so to speak heh heh. As for us guys we got a round of drinks and a booth, what surprised me is that Malfoy joined us. "So Potter, are you gonna bang her?" Blaise wondered. "Well of course he's going to, aren't you Harry?" Ron inquired. I put my hands up in protest and stated "Now, wait a second guys we just started going out; I'm gonna be nice and wait a while to have sex with her." And here's where Neville speaks up, "But Harry, what about that guy Hermione was seeing, Carson? Aren't they still together?" Great, that just killed my parade. "Shit, I forgot about him, I don't know if she is or not…"

So, Ron grabbed a napkin and Seamus fished out a sharpie from his pocket and they handed me the two items. "No, way guys. I'm not writing it, make Dean write it." Dean was surprised at that and raised "Why do I have to write it, she's your girlfriend?" "Because you have better handwriting than I do." Dean shook his head and answered "But Malfoy has even better handwriting than me." "Huh? Why are you guys talking about me?" "We were discussing your handwriting, Malfoy." "Oh, and byt the way quit calling me Malfoy. I prefer my first name now that we're out of school. And now Ron butts in, "Fine then, quit calling Harry and I by our surnames as well." Then I picked in, "Who's going to write this damn letter?" "Why don't we all write a piece of it?" Neville proposed. "Okay I get to insult Carson, Harry gets to say "I love you" over and over again and tell her she's wonderful, Draco can do the logical thinking, and Dean and Seamus; you guys can add your two cents wherever you see fit to do so." Ron said to us all, distributing the parts of the letter to us. "Alright, mate who starts the letter? Seamus asked, wondering. "I think Harry, after all." Neville pointed out. "Good thinking Neville; here's the sharpie and napkin, Harry." "Thanks Ron, but I'm going to turn the napkin into parchment, but I'll keep the sharpie." I said to him.
