The Time of Our Lives Chapter 2: In his Bed

A/N: Hi guys! Welcome back to The Time of Our Lives. Thanks so much for all the awesome feedback you've been giving me. I really appreciate it.

Please enjoy!


Stepping behind the screen Dumbledore continued, "Why, it's our very own Mr Harry Potter."

"H H Harry has one too?" Stammered Hermione

"Yes. On his stomach. Just like yours actually" Dumbledore says stepping around the screen.

"OUT!" Screams Madame Pomfrey, "Stupify!"

Hermione heard a noise that sounded a lot like a very elderly gentleman falling over backwards. Then she heard a voice that she had know for most of her memorable life.

"I'll get him" Harry said, "In this bed over here?"

"That would be lovely." She heard Pomfrey reply, "Then I want to look at the mark."

"Ok" Harry said, "That shouldn't be a problem."

"If you wouldn't mind." She said, "I'd like a side by side comparison."

Hermione's heart dropped. She didn't have anything covering her upper regions. Harry couldn't see her like this. It would ruin the friendship. Anyway, she thought, he knows where it, he wouldn't agree to it.

"Ok then." She heard Harry say.

"Shit." She muttered.

"Language." Madame Pomfrey reminded her as she entered, "You may have heard, I'm going to do a side by side comparison. So you'll need to stand up next to Harry. Is that ok?"

"Will he be able to see me?" Hermione asked

"I'm afraid so." Madame Pomfrey said, "On the plus side you can see his chest as well."

"Brilliant" she said sarcastically.

From behind her she heard Harry walk to the screened area. She instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around her chest.

"Ok Harry, I'd like you to stand next to miss Granger facing me. Hermione you can face away from me." Madame Pomfrey said, "Try not to look at each other, I don't want to have to deal with any complaints about broken friendships."

Even still, Hermione could feel Harry's eyes on her, her cheeks flushed red and she kept her eyes forwards.

''Hermione love?" Madame Pomfrey said softly, "I'm going to need you to drop your arms.

"No," Hermione argued, "I can't."

"Do you want me to close my eyes?" Harry offered

"That would help." Hermione said.

"My eyes are closed." Harry claimed.

"Are they?"

"Yes. His eyes are closed" Madame Pomfrey assured her.

Hermione dropped her arms to her side.

"Thank you deary." Madame Pomfrey said

Hermione closed her eyes and wished she was somewhere else.


Hermione woke up with a start, realising that she had no idea where she was.

"Shh," She heard a soft voice say, "You passed out. Madame Pomfrey told me to take you back to your dorm."

"Harry?" She asked

"Yes." He said, "Its me."

"Why are you still in my dorm?" She moved into a sitting position, "Where are you?"

"I couldn't get into your dorm." He told her, "I had to put you in my bed."

Feeling slightly worried, she asked, "Where are you sleeping?"

"I'm lying at the end of the bed." Came the reply.

"Why?" She demanded, "You could have just put me on a sofa in the common room."

"No way." He retorted, "You're my best friend, I can't put you on a sofa. Especially with Ron roaming about."

"Why?" She questioned, "What's going on with Ron?"

"Well, lets just say, he's become a little murderous." He said slowly, "He was talking about killing you."

"What?" She cried

"No one could find him. So I couldn't leave you in case he comes for you." He said, "I haven't heard anything yet."

"Haven't you been asleep?" She challenged.

"No." He said quickly, "I couldn't risk it."

"What was he like?" She asked

"People think he's under a spell." He assured her, "He wouldn't act like this normally"

"Hopefully" She said

"I'll keep a lookout." He said, "You should get some sleep."

"I just feel so guilty with you at the end of the bed."

"Honestly, Its fine." He said firmly, "You should get some sleep."

"Harry, do I have my shirt on?" She asked

"Yes," He laughed, "Madame Pomfrey made me not open my eyes until she had put your shirt back on you. I didn't see anything, just like you asked."

"You could come and sleep up here?" She asked

"I won't go to sleep, just in case, though." He returned

"If you put your arms around me, you could go to sleep." She argued, "Otherwise I don't think I'll be able to get to sleep."

Almost immediately she felt strong arms wrap around her and Harry lay behind her. She moved herself backwards so their bodies were pressed tightly together.

"Try to get some sleep" Harry Breathed

"Thank you Harry. For everything" She whispered before falling asleep.

"Anything for you." He whispered once she had fallen asleep, "Anything."


Hermione woke and felt steady breathing on her face. She opened her eyes and saw Harry laying in front of her, she had clearly rolled over during the night. They had moved so close to each other that Hermione could feel his lips pressed onto her forehead. And her legs were entwined with his. She felt the happiest she had ever felt.

"Morning." Harry whispered

"Morning," She replied, "How did you sleep?"

"Better than ever before." He answered

"I know, me too." She was surprised that Harry had had a decent night's sleep, "I've never woken up feeling like this."

"Really happy." They said at the same time.

Hermione looked up into Harry's face and felt like something had washed over her, like a wave of relief. It was like all the bad stuff in her life was gone and replaced with Harry.

"I think I had better go." Hermione whispered.

"Do you want to go?" He asked softly

"Do you want me to go?" She asked smiling

Harry moved himself so he was looking straight into her eyes.

"Harry?" She sighed

He pulled her body closer to him and she wrapped her legs tighter around his, flattening her body against his.

"Harry." She said again.

Their lips brushed against each other and Hermione felt sparks up and down her spine.

"Hermione." He breathed on to her lips.

She licked her lips slightly, wetting both of their lips. At the same time, they both lurched forwards and their lips met. Their hands searching over each others backs they stayed in this position, kissing and exploring each others mouths, for a long while.
