This first bit goes on in their 7^th year at Hogwarts!!!
Chapter 1:
Harry and Hermione walked across the dewy moon lit grass, staring at the silky lake.
"Hermione?" Harry asked unsurely.
"Yes Harry?" Hermione looked into his nervous emerald eyes.
"I need to tell you some thing," he looked back out on to the lake "some thing important. It's been bugging me for a while now."
"Spit it out Harry."
"Hermione, I think I love you." This took her by surprise.
"B-but Harry, you know I'm going out with Ron." Harry stared blankly out in to the night sky.
"I'm sorry Hermione, but it's been torturing me for months and seeing you with Ron makes me feel so angry." He sighed, "I want us to be together."
"Harry I promise if Ron and I ever split up you will be the first person I will run to." Hermione saw a tear fall down his pale face.
***** 10 years later *****
"Hermione! Why didn't you tell me?" Ron shouted, he was furious with her.
"Because Ron, I knew you'd act like this!"
"She's my daughter too!"
"I know but my parents don't exactly get much chance to see her because of you taking the car so often!"
"Then apperate!"
"No way! I am not going to do that with our girl, it's too dangerous!"
"It's not dangerous and what about Floo powder, eh?"
"Well if you came to see my parents more often or remembered anything, you'd realise that they don't have a fireplace and they are muggles!"
"Muggles or not they know about Floo powder!"
"Yes they know about Floo powder but they have other ways of heating their home!"
"I expect that you've forgotten about port keys then?"
"Ron of course I haven't forgotten about port keys, but they're dangerous too!"
"Oh yeah? How?"
"What if some one broke into the house and touched it without knowing what it was? They would end up in my parent's house! That would cause havoc with the Ministry!"
"Look Hermione I'm going to visit Fred, I'll be back in a few days. When I come back I expect my daughter to be here, got that? You can be such a selfish bitch some times you know that Hermione?" and with that he stalked out of the room. Hermione burst into tears at the sound of the front door slamming.
The phone rang, Ron had bought one when he had realised how they worked. She walked over slowly and picked up the receiver.
"Hello?" she asked quietly sniffing.
"Hermione is that you or is it Lily?" Harry's voice came from the other end.
"It's Hermione." She wiped away a stray tear.
"What's the matter Herm?"
"It's nothing." Hermione lied.
"That's it, something is wrong and I'm coming over. You're usually chatting away by now." She tried to disagree but Harry had already hung up. Slowly she put down the receiver `Oh no, this is the last thing I need.' She groaned inwardly, just then there was a knock at the door, it couldn't be Harry it was far too quick, then she remembered were she was, in the magic world!
"Hermione tell me what's up, I can tell you've been crying, you're face is all blotchy." Harry sat on the sofa lightly as Hermione sat beside him.
"Thanks." She sighed. Harry looked just the same as he had done in their seventh year. His black messy mop of hair and shiny emerald eyes still the same and in spite of everything he still wore the same black-rimmed glasses. Twenty-seven and still acts as if he is in Hogwarts up to mischief, only now he was being serious. He looks and acts so much like Sirius apart from his serious streak (sorry but serious and Sirius sound so weird in the same sentence!!!).
"What's up? And where on earth is Ron?" Hermione looked downwards and into the beige carpet. "Ah, I'll make a cup of tea." Harry got up and made the tea quickly in the kitchen. When he returned he found Hermione in tears shaking on the sofa. Putting down the two freshly steaming cups, he situated his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into a friendly embrace, trying desperately to calm the weeping lady.
Eventually Hermione calmed down enough to explain to Harry what had happened with Ron.
This story struck a memory at the back of his mind.
A memory of a promise, a promise made years ago. Hermione, by the lake at Hogwarts, had made this promise.
OK? Tell me what you think and I might consider putting up another chapter!! This is going to be a romance, I think?!
