A/N: HOLA AMIGOS !
THANKS FOR FOLLOWING THE STORY :D
THAT'S THE LEAST I CAN SAY ACTUALLY :P
SCHOOL STARTS AGAIN IN TWO DAYS -_-
ANYWAY I'LL DEAL WITH THAT …. SO HERE'S CHAPTER 3 ;)
DISCLAIMER: I NEVER AND NEVER WILL OWN HARRY POTTER AND ITS CHARACTERS ….
"Yes Harry. Love." Luna smiled at him and got up." Would you like to have some tea?"
"Yeah." Harry answered. Love was the key to break each and every problem he faced. Love defeated Voldemort, love of friends and families made him stronger and now his love for Hermione was the solution to their connected dreams. But from what Luna said, they die if the feeling of love was one sided. What did she mean by that?!
"There you go Harry." Said Luna, handing him a cup of tea.
"Thanks." He said before the two sipped their tea in silence.
"So you mean, my love for Hermione is the key to solution." He asked.
Luna nodded." You must make sure that the feelings are mutual."
"The feeling is mutual Luna. I love Hermione as my very own sister and she loves me like her brother-"
"You still don't get it Harry." Luna cut him off." The feeling should be genuine. Not platonic."
Harry looked into her cool blue eyes. Their; his and Hermione's love for each other was nothing more than that of siblings. But from what Luna said, this only happened to soul mates. And the problem was pretty strong. The question was, would he be able to love Hermione more than a friend; a sister? Sure she was the girl he treasured the most and who meant everything to him. Was there something which he couldn't see and others could?
"But Luna, I love her like my very own sister." Harry said lamely.
"Then try to see Hermione like you see other girls you're interested in." Luna said." That's the only way left. Once you see what I do, you'll know what to do."
"But she's with Draco-"
"If Draco can turn in his Malfoy charm, you can turn on your charm too." Luna chuckled." And Hermione adores you. Surely she'll see something. You never know."
"Then what about Ginny and I -"
"That's your decision to be with her or break up. I can't say anything on that."
Harry nodded as he finished his tea.
"Thanks Luna. I'll try what you asked me to. That was actually a help in a way. "He smiled at her.
"Not a problem." Luna waved her hand lazily." If you need help, I'm here. Ron's here too. And you know that."
"Thanks again. And I guess, I should get going. Ginny has asked me to meet her in the Leaky Cauldron and I'm running late."
"That's alright. Goodbye then!"
"Goodbye!"
With that, Harry apparated directly into the wizarding pub in Diagon Alley. He sat by the bar, when Tom, the manager of the pub came over.
"Hello there Mr. Potter." He wished." How can I help you today?"
"All I want is a Butterbeer." Harry answered." If that's not much."
"One Butterbeer coming up!" The bartender said when a petite ginger sat next to him.
"Hi Harry!" Ginny wished him with a kiss on his cheek.
"Hey there Ginny!" Harry smiled at her and then looked at Tom." Make it two Butterbeers!"
"Coming up!" Was the reply he got.
"Anyway Harry-" Ginny started", I think you should know why I called you here-"
"I'm sorry Ginny, but I want us to break up." Harry said firmly.
'Wait, why the hell did I say that!?'
Instead of frowning, Ginny nodded and smiled at him." You read my mind."
Harry gaped at her." What-!?"
"I wanted us to break up too."
"Oh." Was all he could say. Harry knew why his instincts asked him to do that. All the reasons pointed to one person; Hermione.
'But why-'
"You know, I felt something was missing between us." Ginny continued." And I no longer saw you like I used to. It's not like you aren't perfect Harry. Hell, nobody's perfect. It's just that-"
"I understand." Harry said lamely as the bartender served their order." My reason is the same."
Well, Harry did feel that he and Ginny were growing apart lately. She was busy with Quidditch and world tours while Harry was busy with his role as Head Auror. Little did they get time for each other and their feuds kept on happening on every second day. So Harry had eventually decided to call it off with Ginny. And now, he had a second reason as well.
"Harry-" Ginny's voice got him back to present." Is something bothering you?"
Harry sighed and nodded." There is another reason actually. You know about my dreams being connected to Hermione's right?!"
"Yeah. What about it?!"
"I went to Luna and she gave me a solution. And it was about me falling in love with Hermione-"
"You have already fallen for her Harry but you don't see it." Ginny chuckled.
Harry merely rolled his eyes and shook his head." Not you too!"
"I'm serious!" Ginny exclaimed." The way you look at her. The was you're so protective about her-"
"I'm protective about you as well-"
"That's different. And it's pretty obvious that you acre about her. It's just that- how can't you see it?!
Harry shrugged his shoulders." I wonder what I can't see." He muttered.
"You'll see it pretty soon. I'm sure." Ginny patted his shoulder as the two spent the rest of the day as friends.
"Thanks for keeping me occupied." Hermione smiled at Draco as he apparated her back to her apartment. It was almost half past nine in the night and there was no sign of Harry's presence.
"Not a problem." Draco chuckled." I love spending time with you."
The brunette blushed when her boyfriend cupped her cheek with his hand and kissed her softly. Their lips moved in harmony for moments, when Hermione decided to break away.
"Are you coming over for Ron's birthday tomorrow?" She asked.
Draco frowned." I'm really sorry love. But I promised mother that I would spend the day with her."
Hermione managed to give him a small smile." That's alright. I'll go anyway."
Her boyfriend smiled and gave a peck on her forehead." Goodnight."
"Goodnight." She wished him back as Draco apparated in front of her eyes.
Hermione sighed and looked around, Harry wasn't back yet. Where was he? It was when she realized that Ginny was in town and he had a date with her. That didn't bother her much. She sat on the couch, waiting for him and she never knew when sleep welcomed her.
Harry apparated into the apartment and called out for Hermione. It was when he heard a groggy reply from the couch.
"Yes Harry?!" Hermione mumbled." How was your date?"
Harry just stared at her and walked over to the couch. Sitting next to her, he said" Ginny and I broke up."
His friend intently looked at him with her lovely brown eyes and asked"How? Why-"
"It was a mutual thought." Harry answered simply." We were growing apart these days. So we thought of ending it up."
"Hmm..." Hermione moaned and settled her head on his lap. Harry smiled and stroked her hair.
"That's good actually." Hermione said." It's better than breaking each other's heart."
"I agree." He said when silence welcomed them. Harry was glad that Hermione forgot to ask him about his visit to Luna's and the key to their cure. But-
"What did Luna say Harry? About our problem?"
'Damn. Now should I tell her that we both had to fall in love with each other?'
"She is still working on it." Harry said quickly." I mean she said that the solution is right in front of our eyes and we can't see it."
'Well that's partially true.'
"Did she tell anything about it?" Hermione asked.
"Nope. That's the only clue she could give."
'You're the biggest liar Potter!'
"Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"Take me to bed."
Harry smiled as he lifted Hermione in a bridal style and took her to bed. Tucking her like her did the night before and giving a peck on her forehead, he asked "Do you want me to stay?"
"It's fine. Thanks." Was the groggy reply he got." I'll get into your bed if I have a nightmare I don't appreciate."
"Okay then. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
