Chapter 4

Lily and James had been ecstatic that Harry was head boy and that their daughter was now a prefect. To celebrate they had taken them out to dinner at a fancy restaurant in Diagon alley. And they told them both they could have a reward for their achievements when they went to get their school supplies. It was now a week until they returned to Hogwarts and it had felt like a lifetime to Harry.

Harry was stood in the kitchen sipping a cold glass of orange juice while waiting anxiously for a knock at the door. His mind wandered back to two days ago when he had woken to hear a soft hoot at his window looking at the clock it had read 6.30 am. Who would be writing to him at this time of the morning? Getting sleepily out of his warm bed he strode across to the window where the minute he took the letter from the bird it flew off. Harry was a bit shocked usually owls stayed for a rest and a drink when they had delivered something. Harry figured that it had been waiting a long time so shut the window and went and sat on his bed. Opening the letter he read

Dear Harry

Guess what I'm head girl isn't it amazing I wonder who will be head boy?

Well what I was writing for was to say that I really miss you I haven't done anything all summer and although we have been writing to each other it hasn't been the same so I wanted to ask if you wanted to meet up in Diagon alley on Friday morning to get our school supplies and spend the day together before going back to mine and having a movie night? I have also sent Ron a letter asking him if he would like to join us.

Anyway please send me a reply back as soon as you can and let me know.

Love

Hermione

Harry had asked him mother if he could go and she agreed but she said she would like to take Maggie and Dylan to get their stuff as well and then she would give him some money for him to buy himself something as the reward for becoming head boy.

Harry had wrote back to Hermione telling her that he could and that if she wanted to that she meet him at his place and they could floo to the Leaky Cauldron where they could meet Ron. Hermione had accepted and had said that Ron was going to floo there as well and that she would be at his at 10am sharp.

This is where we found Harry now he was waiting for Hermione to turn up, he was so excited he could hardly contain it and he watched nervously as the clock ticked to 9.50 am.

The clock in their kitchen took forever to tick the minutes away well it seemed that way to Harry he had even gone into their front room to check the time on the clock before returning to the kitchen to carry on watching the seconds tick by. As the second had past the twelve and the clock started to chime 10 o'clock the doorbell rang. Wow that was absolute perfect timing he thought. He just loved how organised Hermione was.

Opening the door almost took Harry's breath away as standing on the front step stood Hermione she was dressed in a elegant pale blue dress that ended just above the knee and pale blue slip on shoes to match she also had a blue ribbon tied like a headband around her loosely curled hair that was cascading down her back and slightly over her shoulders. Harry must have been staring because Lily appeared seconds later telling Harry to stop being so rude and to shut his mouth because he was going to soak the welcome mat with drool if he didn't and let the poor girl in. Harry complied although as Hermione entered they both had the same shade of bright pink across their faces.

Harry's POV

OMG she looks absolutely gorgeous I can't believe she is stood on my door step and looking that good.

God, how am I supposed to control myself around her when she looks so stunning?

Oh no my mum is so embarrassing how am I going to be able to look Her in the eye now that my mum has made a comment like stop drooling on the welcome mat?

Hermione's POV

Wow he looks so handsome. I can't believe it has taken me six years to realise it.

Why is he looking at me like that? Is it because he has never seen me in a dress before?

Oh no his mum must have caught me checking him out how embarrassing.

Lily's POV

Oh I think Harry is in love and I don't blame him she is really pretty why hasn't he brought her round before? And she obviously likes him too I mean just look at her checking him out.

I guess I should say something to get him to let her in before it gets too late to go to Diagon alley.

Harry showed Hermione into their living room and she sat on their very comfy sofa.

"Um how long have we got till we meet Ron?" Harry asked her while sitting on the sofa next to her.

"Well he sent me a letter this morning he said to tell you he couldn't meet us until 12 noon so I guess we have got some time to kill" she explained.

"Well in that case would you like a drink?" he offered

"Oh yes please" she said "have you got and pineapple juice?"

"Yep we sure have I won't be long. Make yourself at home" he said before going back into the kitchen and making her a drink.
