Chapter 4 Hermione

I woke up at 7 and went downstairs to cook breakfast for the Dursley's. I was really excited about seeing Hermione since I figured out that I have feelings for my best friend.

I hummed a tune as I made breakfast. A smile graces my lips as I thought of Hermione. I haven't seen her for three weeks and I missed her.

I wonder if she changed or how much she has changed.

I heard footsteps coming down the stairs knowing who it was I quickly put the food on the table put coffee in Uncle Vernon's and Aunt Petunia's cups.

I didn't know what Dudley wanted so I put out orange juice out on the table. I grabbed my plate from the table as the Dursley's filed in. Vernon nodded his approval at the choice of food and eagerly dig in. I awkwardly stand their waiting to be dismissed.

"You may go on up now." Vernon growled. I nodded and quickly went upstairs to my room. I finished my breakfast in 10 minutes and looked around the room to see if I had anything left out that needs to put in my trunk.

I notice Hedwig sitting on her perch and went over to her. I sat down in my chair and patted her. "We're going to Mione's house today Hed." I said smiling at her. She hooted in response. I shook my head laughing at her happiness.

Around 11 I went downstairs with my plate and around 12 I grabbed my trunk and Hedwig's cage as I eagerly waited for 1 to come. Uncle Vernon left for work and Dudley left to go to a friend's. Finally 1 rolled around and the doorbell ring announcing Hermione's arrival.

Aunt Petunia came in and said "Well answer it boy." I nodded and went to answer the door. I opened the door and gasped at the sight of Hermione. She quickly grabbed me in a tight hug.

"Oh Harry I'm so glad to see you." She squealed in delight. "Um… Hermione… Can't… Breathe… I said in between gasp of breathe. She quickly let go blushing. "I'm so sorry Harry, didn't mean to." She said shyly. I waved my hand dismissively and said "Don't worry about next time just don't hug so hard." She laughed at that and hit me on the arm. I rubbed it and tried to glare but failed miserably.

My aunt coughed to get our attention. We looked her way and I said "We'll be going now, Aunt Petunia." She nodded her head and walked away without saying goodbye.

I sighed and picked up my trunk and Hermione grabbed Hedwig's caged. I followed her to wear a red convertible sat smugly on the street. My jaws dropped at the site of the car.

"Only you Hermione." I said shaking my head in amusement as we walked to the car. "And what's that suppose to mean Harry James Potter." Hermione said glaring at me.

I winced at the use of my full name and quickly replied "Nothing Mione… I didn't mean it, it was just a joke; honest." I said holding up my arms in defense, which caused my trunk to follow on my foot, which led to pain.

I started holding my foot in pain and continue to say "Ow" over and over again while Hermione just laughed.

We finally got into the car 10 minutes later and drove off from Private Drive.

We idly talked about school, homework, and anything else that came to mind while listening to music as well. We finally drove into the Granger resident about 4 and I gasped at the sight of the Victorian Building.

Hermione looked at me in concern, waved a hand in front of my face. I blinked rapidly and said "Your house is beautiful Hermione. She beamed at me and I knew that I had said the right thing. "Thanks Harry, your really the only person from Hogwarts that has seen my house in full form." She said while getting out of the car.

I followed her as she opened the backseat of the car.

I heaved my trunk out of the car while she grabbed Hedwig's cage. Hermione was talking rapidly as we approach the door to house.

"Oh your so going to love her Harry, we can do so much…" She trailed off as we came to the door.

I glance at and smile as I thought of how beautiful she looks and how it would be like to kiss her. I shook my head at those thoughts and said to myself 'cut it out she's your best friend and doesn't feel that way about you.

I cleared my thoughts of Hermione and paid attention as we enter her house which I might add is truly fascinating on the inside. We met her parents on the way up the stairs and they introduced themselves as Dan and Emma.

"You must be Harry Potter, we heard so much about you from our little Hermione." Dan said shaking my head. "Daddd…" Hermione said blushing. "Oh quit it Dan, stop embarrassing your daughter." Emma said slapping Dan on the shoulder.

"Women you got to love 'em." Dan said smiling. I nodded in agreement. Both women look at the boys in exasperation. "Yes sir, you do because without them we'd be useless." I said winking at Dan. Dan laughed.

"My word this boy is humorous, thank god." Dan said dramatically sighing. Both women laughed at that. "Well Hermione dear why don't you show Harry the house and dinner will be ready at 6 okay."

Hermione nodded and dragged me away from her parents before they say something embarrassing. Once we were out of earshot Hermione broke the silence by saying "Sorry about them, there always like that." I waved the comment away by saying "Don't worry about it, I thought your father was cool, very humorous guy reminds me of Fred and George." I said smiling at her.

She nodded and that's how it went.

We were both silent occasionally Hermione would say which room is which and when we came to my room she gesture me to go in and said "You can unpack if you want dinner should be done in 20 minutes, mom will call us down when it's done.

I nodded and said "Alright see at dinner then." She nodded and said "My room is two doors down if you wondering." She left after that. I watch her until she disappeared into her room. I went into my room and put my stuff and Hedwig's cage on the desk. I quickly finished with 5 minutes to spare.

I sat idly waiting for Mrs. Granger to call us down for dinner when I thought about the letter Mrs. Weasley sent me earlier and my good mood instantly diminished, but as I sat there I made a vow to never do anything the order wanted and to listen to what my heart and mind tell me to do.

I distantly heard mine and Hermione's name being called and I stood up with determination to get through the summer in every way possible without screwing up my and Mione's friendship I thought as I caught up to Hermione as she was walking down the stairs to the kitchen.

Dinner was mostly silently, but we made idle conversation regarding what we were going to do when the Grangers leave in the morning. It was around 10 when we all retired to bed after talking about nonsense and whatnot.

I walked Hermione to her bedroom and said "Goodnight." She walked over to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek and mutters a "Goodnight." And hurriedly went to her room and closes the door shut. I stare after her astonish, I gingerly touch the cheek she kiss and with a smile I walk to my room without knowing that tonight was going to be one hell of night.
