Chapter 9
Authors note: Thanks for all the great reviews
Harry took Hermione outside to the front of Hogwarts. Harry told Hermione
to cover her eyes and lead her to the surprise. Hermione felt like they
were walking for hours, she had never been this far away from the castle.
They stop and he whispered an inaudible spell.
"Okay Hermione open your eyes." Harry said softly. As Hermione looked
around, she realized she didn't know where the hell they where.
"Harry where are we?" She asked looking around at the beautiful place.
"This is my secret place, well our secret place now. I come here when I am
down or stressed out. When I found this place, I didn't want anybody to
ever find this place. So I put a cover up spell. So when people see it,
they would just see the lake. It can't be found in any magical or muggle
map." He told Hermione
It was a beautiful place. Trees were all over and there was small pond. The
moon reflected off it and bounced out into the nearby trees. There was a
picnic blanket laid out on the plush, green grass. Harry conjured up
candles and lit them. There were two goblets and utensils already set.
Harry sat down on the grass and pulled Hermione down with him. She sat
herself down on Harry's lap and they watched the stars. They snogged for a
little bit until Harry heard Hermione stomach growl. Harry took her to the
picnic blanket and snapped his fingers. Two plates appeared, their goblets
had been filled up. They ate and talk about all sorts of stuff: school,
friends, what had happen with Ron. Hermione was shocked but happy Harry had
defended her once again.
"Harry I love that you defend me, but I don't want to see you get hurt.
Leave it to me. I will make sure that they don't mess with you or a
Malfoy." Hermione said as she grabbed his hand.
He looked at Hermione and sighed.
"I should be defending you, not the other way around."
"I know it won't be easy, but can you try." She said jokingly.
"Um. Hermione I wanted to give you something." Harry said very shyly.
"Oh you do, do you?" she said with a seductive smile
"No not that." Harry said rather quickly
Hermione raised her eyebrow at his comment.
"No, I mean I want to give you that too but I was kind of think more a line
with a gift." Harry said very nervously.
"I was just kidding. I knew what you meant Harry." She said jokingly
"Oh. Okay. Umm. I will be right back." Harry said as he arose to his feet.
Harry went to the tree behind them. Hermione heard him say some words to
the tree. He came back with a blue velvet box. He sat back down and turned
himself so he could be sitting right in front of her.
"Um. Um. Hermione I wanted to give you something. Dumbledore told me that
when the first Potter went to Hogwarts. He fell in love and bought her this
gift to declare his love to her. It been in my fathers family ever since.
It has been past down to my father who gave it to my mother. Who passed it
down to me, now I am giving it to you." Harry said sincerely
Harry open the velvet box and inside was a diamond necklace. The chain had
a pattern of red and white diamonds, in the middle was the biggest diamond
Hermione had ever seen. It was shaped into a red heart. A pattern of red
and white diamonds surrounded the heart. (It kind of like the Heart of the
Ocean in Titanic, but smaller)
Hermione was tears. She had never seen a more beautiful necklace. She knew
now that Harry and she were going to be together forever.
" I love you Hermione Malfoy. I will always love you." Harry said with a
tear coming down his cheek.
"I love you too Harry Potter." She said and flung herself into his arms.
She gave him a kiss but it was not a normal kiss. It was a kiss full of
love that Hermione and Harry felt for one another.
"That means you'll take it." Harry said chuckling
"Of course Harry." Hermione said as she leaned forward for another sweet
kiss.
Harry put on the necklace. A bright light had appeared and now the red
diamonds were no longer red but green. The heart was also green. Hermione
looked at the necklace and looked at back at Harry. He had a big smile on
his face.
"What just happened? Harry what going on" Hermione asked confused.
" I just forgot to tell you. Well since my mum was in Gryffindor the heart
and the diamond were scarlet. You're in Slytherin so the diamonds and heart
turned green. There is an enchantment spell on it. Whatever your love house
color is. The necklace will turn into that color." Harry said
"Oh! Oh, Harry it's beautiful. Thank you so much. I love it." Hermione said
excitedly.
They finished their dinner and laid on their backs they were so full.
Hermione couldn't stop looking at the necklace Harry gave her. It was the
nicest thing someone had ever given her. Harry giving her his mother
necklace meant that it was more than just puppy love but real love for one
another. Something that takes people a lifetime to find and here she was in
love with Harry. Harry not the boy-who-lived but the boy under all that
fame. The shy, caring, funny, untidy jet-black hair, emerald eyes, and
loving, handsome boy are what she fell in love with. She turned and cuddled
up with Harry.
"Harry can I ask you a question" Hermione asked curiously
"Sure" Harry said while rubbing her back
"Well it just that, well" Hermione said nervously
"What? You could ask me." Harry said concern
"When did you and Draco get our gift." Hermione asked
"Oh, well we got the gift about a month ago at Hogsmeade" Harry said
confidently
"A month ago! You went to Hogsmeade? How did you get there?" Hermione asked
curiously
"Hermione calm down! We went to Hogsmeade a month ago to make reservations.
The restaurant doesn't accept owls. We used my invisibility cloak I
inherited from my dad to get there." Harry said
"Wow Harry, how did you mange to keep it secret without me or Blaise
knowing." Hermione asked
"Well when you and Blaise went to patrol, Draco and I used the secret
passage to Hogsmeade and came back by the time you were done." Harry said
as he started playing with her hair.
"There is a secret passage to Hogsmeade! Where?" She asked as ran her
finger through his chest.
"Oh I will show you later, and some of the other secret passages." Harry as
seductively
"I can't wait." She said as she leaned to him and gave him a sweet peck on
his lips. She laid on his chest and was feeling very tired, it was a very
long day.
"Sweet dreams Hermione."
"I'm in one Harry. "
Hermione fell asleep on top of Harry. Before Harry fell asleep he told
himself, 'we fit Hermione. Always and forever.'
