Harry and Hermione, It started with a kiss on the Cheek

Hey, this is my first attempt at a fan fic so go easy on me! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing related to Harry Potter or the books. I only own the plot. If I have used some one elses writing than am sorry, for I have most certainly not meant to do it on purpose.
Harry woke up early one morning on a fine summers day. The kind where kids run around and celebrate the fact that summer has finally come. Well for Harry, summer was the worst time of the year. He always dreaded the start of it, and couldn't wait till the end of it. Then, he would be back with his own kind, at Hogwarts. He would also be seeing Hermione, one of his best friends.

Harry had been arguing with himself for a week on whether or not he had feelings for Hermione. Well, he thought he did, but was trying to convince himself otherwise for some strange reason. He was fighting a loosing battle though. He couldn't get her out of his head, and finally decided that he did have feelings for her.

They were going into their 5th year at Hogwarts. They now had annual Halloween, Christmas, and end of school year dances. Would he ask Hermione to go with him? Or was he going to simply sit there at the party doing nothing?

He was also waiting for Hedwig, who would be bringing Harry Hermione's reply on whether or not they wanted to go to Diagon Ally on the 29th of August. He also expected some birthday presents, as his birthday was today. He looked at the clock. He had only 10 seconds until he would be fifth teen.

On cue, 10 seconds later 4 owls were coming toward his window. Harry hurriedly opened the window.

The first one, a tall barn owl, dropped off what was undoubtedly Harries school letters. It then left just as soon as it came.

The other 3 dropped their parcels off and all perched on Harries dresser. The first one he noticed was from Hagrid.

Harry, Hey Harry! How are you doing? I hope the muggles are treating you fairly. I can't tell you what I'm doing, but I can tell you everything's going well so far. I got you some sweets from Honeydukes for your birthday.

Hagrid

Harry set the package of Honeyduke's chocolate and the letter on his desk. The next letter was from Ron.

Hey Harry, Happy fifth teenth birthday! Guess what, you cant stay with us! That really stinks! Dumbledore sent us a letter as soon as we got home that you should be staying at Hermiones for the summer. She told me she'd mail you about it. Anyway, I think you'// like your present, considering you'll be quidditch captain. You are the only one on the team! Fred, George, and all the other players all graduated last year. Ron Harry opened the package Ron sent him. 'Quidittch Tactics and Plays for Captains'. He had completely forgotten that he was the only one left on the team! He saw to neat writing and knew this last one must be from Hermione.

Dear Harry, Hello! And happy fifth teenth birthday! Guess what, I got a letter from Dumbledore saying that you should stay at our house for the summer because it is no longer safe at the durslys or Rons. He said that no dementor would want to bother themselves with picking up a phone book, & that he made our house completely unplotable. Enjoy your present and your 8 week stay with my family and I!

Love, Hermione

Sure enough, he got a book. '10 most difficult potions to brew'. Harry didn't know why she would give him such a book, considering the ingredients that were probably required would either be in Snape's private stores; or you would have to be 18 or older to buy them. But he liked the book just as well. He scanned down the contents. The most difficult potion was on how to brew a piece of immortality.

Harry then went to his school one. Along with his school lists and reminders, he got a letter from Dumbledore. Harry, you must leave the Dursleys at once! It is not safe. I will be there tomorrow at noon to bring you to Hermione's. Be ready.

Harry then read the school letters.

Dear Mr. Potter, We are pleased to inform you that you have been elected as head boy! Also, since all of your fellow teammates on the Gryfindor team have graduated, you have automatically been appointed as team captain for the gryffindor quidditch team. The train leaves September 1st at noon on platform 9 and 3/4 . Have a safe holiday,

Deputy Headmistress, Minerva Magonagoul

Dear Mr. Potter, For this year's curriculum, you will be required: The standard book of spells Grade 5 Defense against the more nasty forms of the dark arts 2 sets of dress robes

Harry was ecstatic. He would be spending his entire summer at the Grangers. He had only been at the Dursley's for a week. He packed all his things, except the quidditch tactics book. Harry looked at the clock. 8 o'clock! Man, times flies when your having fun, he thought. He decided to put the book away too, and tell the Dursley's that he would be leaving at noon.

"Good!" Barked uncle Vernon. "The sooner you leave, the better!"

Harry found it a bit odd that his uncle would let him just like that, but he had a strong suspicion that it was because if his uncle told him no, Sirius would appear on the spot and curse them.

At noon, Dumbledore arrived in their living room.

"Ready, Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes' Harry replied.

"fathela" Harry said, and his trunk, with everything he owned, became feather light.

"I hope this doesn't bring back any bad memories, but we must travel by port-key" Dumbledore said.

Harry touched the port-key, while holding his trunk in one hand. An instant later, they were outside the Grangers. Harry couldn't wait to see Hermione, but he wasn't sure that her parents would be just as pleased.
