Harry bent over and spread the blanket on the grass. A cool breeze swept through the air as he checked his watch to see what time it was. Ginny would be down in a matter of minutes. He lit the candles he had brought down. Two minutes left. He paced around, for a while, where was she? One minute. Thirty seconds, ten, and sure enough, there was Ginny, coming down the stairs, leading the Hermione, who was blindfolded. Harry made his way over to her and took the young girl she was leading. "Thanks Gin." He said winking at her. Ginny gave him a thumb up as she ran up back to the castle. "Harry? Can you please explain to me why I'm blindfolded?" Harry took her hand and guided her to where he had the blanked laid out. "Seriously, Harry, what's going on?" "Shhh. You'll see in a second." He let go of her hand and walked behind her. He untied the blindfold from around her eyes and she gasped. She looked at the blanket and the candles, and the group of red roses sitting in the middle. "Happy Anniversary." He whispered in her ear. Hermione turned around and looked at him. "It's beautiful." She said. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held him close. Harry bent down and kissed her cheek. "Come and sit." He said, sitting on the blanket. Hermione sat in between his knees and he put his arms around her. The two looked up at the stars. "I can't believe it's already been a year." She said to him. "I can, it's been great." He said. A smile spread across her face. Harry kissed her neck gently. "Are you trying to seduce me?" She asked curiously. "Uh Huh. Is it working?" "Uh huh." Hermione turned around and kissed him. She couldn't believe it. She had been seeing Harry for a year now. He had dumped Cho, for her. Wow. They kissed each other for a while, when Harry pulled away. "One more surprise. Come here." He said, pulling her towards him. He put the blind fold back on and led her to the side of the lake. He pulled up a little boat he had strategically placed at the little dock and helped her in. He rowed the boat to the middle of the lake. "You can take the blindfold off again." Hermione took of the velvet blindfold and looked at where she was. The stars were clearer, and she could see all the animals and sea creatures under the glassy water. She was breath taken. She took one look at Harry, and kissed him. He brought her closer and she was soon sitting on the same bench as him. He pulled away and looked at her. The moonlight reflected off her porcelain skin, and her eyes shimmered from the reflection of the stars. "I love you Hermione." A big smile came across her face and she kissed him again. The two stretched out in the bottom of the boat, Hermione wrapped in Harry's arms. They sat together in silence for a while. "You're so beautiful." He said to her. "You're not so bad yourself." She grinned at him. He bent down and kissed her one last time before saying, "Come on, we had better get back in there." Harry rowed them back to shore and Hermione climbed out. She noticed the blanket and the candles were gone. The roses lay on the grass and Hermione picked them up. Harry tied the boat back up and took Hermione's hand. "Come under here." he said, pulling the invisibility cloak over their heads. He got out the map and pointed his want to it. "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." A picture of the castle appeared before him. Snape was in his office. Filch was on the third floor, Mrs. Norris on the fifth, Peeves was in the Transfiguration department and MacGonagall was on second. All else was clear. The two walked through the castle quietly, Harry checking the map every now and again to make sure they were okay to carry on. Once the two passed the painting (Fizzing Whizbees) into the common room, they took off the cloak. They flopped on the couch together, and Hermione laid her head down on Harry's knees.

"Thank you for tonight, it was wonderful." She said.

"Anytime." He replied. The two sat in silence for a while longer,
staring into the fire. "Rite, I'm going to bed." She said getting up.

"I'll see you in the morning."

She bent down and kissed Harry one last time before she went upstairs. When she got to her room, Hermione crept quietly over to her bed as not to wake anyone up. She put the flowers in a crystal vase, changed, and fell asleep with a big smile on her face.
