Life
He lay there on their bed just staring at her as she read. He had known her for a long time. Before Hogwarts, he knew her as his best and only friend. He and her would do everything together. The day he got the letter he was worried he wouldn't ever see her again, but she had got one to and they remained together. Over the years at Hogwarts they grew closer and started dating. They remained together, through thick and thin, and were now married.
He then tried to remember the first time they had meet. He remembered some time around first grade. Sirius, who was his legal guardian since his parents were killed, had let him go out to play by himself a bit. Sirius, not wanting Harry to be surrounded by other kids that knew of his fame, sent him to a muggle school. So Harry was just sitting on a swing when he saw a small girl with long, frizzy, brown hair sitting on a bench reading, what looked like to be a very long and complicated book. You know fifty pages with a picture here and there. He slowly walked over to her debating whether he should just leave, mostly because his cousin, who regrettably went to the same school, scared away anyone who wanted to be friends with him. He finally decided to talk to her. He sat down on the other side of the bench and slowly took a breath before saying, "hi, my name is Harry, who are you?"
She stopped reading and looked at him a second and replied "I'm Hermione." They shook hands and Harry asked her.
"What ya readin'?"
She smiled and said "Come and read it with me, it's very interesting."
"Okay" he replied, and for the next hour they sat there reading. After they finished they started talking about life in general. Harry told her about his parents dying and how he went to live with his godfather Sirius. He told her about his cousin and how he couldn't keep any friends. He didn't however mention anything about the wizarding world. She told him that she didn't have any friends either since she read so much and most other kids just wanted to play around not read. They talked for hours and finally Sirius showed up.
"Harry, come on you have got some work to do before dinner," Sirius said. Then he saw Harry was talking to a girl. "You can invite your new friend over some other time Harry."
Harry saw her quickly get out a piece of paper and a pencil and write something down. "I should get going to," she said, "invite me over some time." She gave him the paper and walked away while Harry walked the opposite way home.
Over the next year they had visited each other repeatedly and had grown a strong friendship. Then one day as they were walking home from school Harry's nightmare came true. His Dursley cousin spotted them together. "Hey!" He yelled as he ran, or rather speed walked over. "I don't remember giving anyone permission to even look at my disgraceful cousin," he bellowed.
"I don't remember needing permission" Hermione spat.
"Why you." they never found out what he was going to say because just as he stepped forward Harry quickly tripped him and they ran to Harry's house leaving a very confused and angry Dudley face first on the ground. By the time they got to the house they were laughing so hard they barely were able to open the door.
As they came in Sirius looked at them suspiciously. "What did you two do now?" he asked trying and failing not to smile and they tried to explain between giggles.
"Well, Dudley" Harry began, but then they erupted into laughter again.
Thinking of it as a lost cause, since Mr. Dursley would call him any time now to complain about what Harry did do to Dudley, he turned his attention back to the T.V.
As soon as Harry and Hermione had settled down and were discussing what had happened the phone rang. "Hello, may I ask who's calling?" said Sirius sincerely.
"You know who this is and why!" Said Mr.Dursley, with his voice rigid with angry.
"Why, hello" said Sirius enthusiastically, "I really have no idea what your talking about, does it concern Harry?"
"Yes, of course it concern th-that BOY!" said Mr. Dursley with a waver in his voice.
"Well then tell me what he did then," said a really amused Sirius.
Mr.Dursley went on to explain this entire story about Harry and 'that girl' ambushing Dudley. "Well I'll be sure to punish him for that," then Sirius quickly hung up. He looked at Harry and Hermione and said in a very sarcastic voice, "bad Harry, bad Hermione." Before retreating to the back lawn. They both burst with new laughter.
