A/N: I know I know, I'm sooooooo sorry it's been ages since my last update but Uni is kicking my ass, if I can give a bit of advice, do not study architecture!. not to mention my nephew was born a few weeks ago, so I was busy with that and just life in general has been chaotic. Hopefully the chapters will start coming regularly, but if not, I apologize now. I love harry potter and the universe JKR created, but reality right now is more important so my story here and my story on harrypotterfanfiction are going to be going slowly as my time will mostly be spent on school. I'm sorry again guys, but I do hope you all understand.

'Hey Hermione, come and read this. I think we should start on cardio first, that way we can use the rest of the training to its full benefit because we won't get tired quickly' said Harry. Hermione made her way over to the book and read the book before agreeing with harry and motioning for him to place the tip of his wand on their choice.

Once Harry had chosen the option, the words of the book became clear and re-appeared as new instructions.

Cardio training.

Welcome to cardio, the following instructions must be followed to ensure full assistance in your training.

Before altering the room, make sure that you are stretched, if you do this after you have changed the room, your time will be lost and you will not achieve maximum use of the room.

Alter the numbers on the pillar to 2-0-1, this will change the room into the beginners cardio training room. Use 2-0-2 for intermediate and 2-0-3 for a more challenging cardio work-out.

Once the room has changed, use the book for different work-outs to increase your cardio and fitness.

Harry and Hermione stretched their bodies, ensuring their muscles were loose. Changing the pillar to match 2-0-1, they watched as the room transferred into a basic 400m track. Turning the page, Harry read the instructions for their work-out.

This work-out program will last an hour and should be done every day for 10 days before moving onto the next levels.

Start with 2 laps around the track, stretching again when finished.

The 12 minute run is exactly what it says. Run around the track for 12 minutes. It does not matter if you have to stop, but keep walking, push yourselves for twelve minutes.

Once completed, use the 100 m markings for quick sprints. Do 10 of these, walking back to the starting line after every sprint.

Run another 2 laps around the track, taking a 5 minute break after to control breathing.

Stretch again, making sure to pay focus to leg muscles.

For the last exercise, run as long as you can, walking does not count in this, if you have to stop then stop, but push yourself.

You should see a clock at the starting line, this clock will keep time and distance for you, keeping records for you in this book so you are able to see your progress.

Make sure to stretch after you have finished.

Begin

Harry and Hermione began the work-out, making sure they pushed themselves and followed the instructions. At the end of the work-out, both teens were completely out of breath and managed to get their breathing under control while stretching.

A few minutes after they had finished their stretches, the room changed back into its original form and the pillar went back to show 0-0-0.

On the sixth day of training, harry and Hermione had just finished their workout when the room changed back to its original form. Both teens were able to feel their stamina and fitness improving, checking their stats to see that they had both become faster in their running and were able to run for longer at a time.

On the tenth day, Harry and Hermione were finishing their last day of beginner's cardio, changing to the intermediate level the next day.

After the room had changed back to normal, harry quickly ran to the shower. After getting out and putting on a new change of clothes, he made his way to the kitchen whilst Hermione was showering. Over the past couple of days, harry had come to the conclusion that Hermione took about 20 minutes to shower. In the kitchen harry decided to try something and called out for dobby, a few seconds later, dobby the house elf appeared, not knowing that it was harry who had called due to his change in appearance, dobby snapped his fingers and harry was against the wall a few feet off the ground.

'Who is you and how do you know dobby's name' said the house elf while staring down the stranger.

'Dobby, it's me harry, I freed you from the Malfoy's in my first year with a sock hidden in an old diary' said harry as he tried to move his limbs.

With eyes wider than tennis balls, dobby released harry and quickly ran towards him, hugging harry around his legs.

'Dobby is sorry Harry Potter sir, Dobby does not be knowing who is calling him when he comes' said the house elf.

'It's alright Dobby, I'm proud of you. It's good that you are aware and prepared' said Harry while looking down at his little friend.

'Yes harry potter sir, thank you. What can dobby be doing for you harry potter sir' said dobby with a wide smile upon his face.

'First, you can just call me harry. Secondly, I really didn't think that you would have been able to get in here. And lastly I need your help. Hermione's in the shower at the moment and I want to prepare a late lunch as a surprise for her. I will do the cooking, but she's going to be coming out soon and I would really appreciate if you could set up a nice table that we can eat at.' Explained harry.

Dobby did not answer but instead, quickly ran out the kitchen excited to be doing something for harry. Giving out a chuckle, harry took out his wand and summoned a 3 course meal that would keep them full until morning as it was only 4:30 in the afternoon inside the trunk. Making sure that all was good, harry quickly changed his outfit into a tuxedo and walked out to see how dobby was doing.

Leaving the kitchen, harry walked into the most amazing room he had ever seen. Dobby had changed the giant space into a small and cozy room, resembling that of a private booth in a restaurant.

'Wow dobby, this is amazing. I don't know what else to say, you did a great job. Could you do me another favor and wait in the kitchen, I think you can be a second surprise for Hermione' said harry while still admiring the room. Dobby gave a quick nod and made his way into the kitchen waiting for further instructions.

Harry stood outside the door to Hermione's room, waiting for her to exit. Quickly taking out his wand, harry transfigured his bow tie into a rose and decided to just loosen his top button.

Hermione opened the door and before she could tie her hair up, was frozen in shock as she saw harry and the room. After a few seconds, Hermione placed her hands in front of her mouth as she had no words. Harry handed Hermione the rose and guided her towards the table where they would be eating. Hermione was still in shock as she sat down and watched harry walk towards the kitchen, open the door and waited as if someone would walk out. To Hermione's surprise, again, she saw as dobby the house elf slowly made himself visible and as he saw the smile on Hermione's face, ran towards her, hugging her seated form placing his head on her lap.

'Miss Hermione, dobby has missed you' said dobby, Hermione hugged him back and smiled up at harry who now had the world's biggest grin spreading across his face.

Hermione looked down at dobby and replied, 'I missed you to dobby, and it's so nice to see you. How did you get here'?

Dobby took a step back from Hermione and answered with a confused look, 'dobby popped Miss Hermione granger ma'am, how else is us house elves supposed to comes and goes'.

Harry gave a small chuckle and placed a hand on the confused house elf's shoulder, 'I think what Hermione meant was how you were able to get into the time trunk when we are going at a faster time than the outside world'.

Dobby's ears dropped, 'I is so sorry miss Hermione, I was not understanding the question. House elves is able to pop anywhere, it does not affect house elves when time is being changed and wards and other protections does not stop us. If a house elf is being summoned he or she must go. If that is being all, dobby is getting your starters so Harry Potter sir, and Miss Hermione Granger is able to eat togethers' and with that, dobby left the two teens to sit down and relax.

Hermione took hold of Harry's hand before he went to sit down. 'Harry, what is this. How were you able to pull this off?'. Smiling, harry squeezed her hand and went to his seat, 'while you were showering, I called for dobby but didn't know if it would work and all of a sudden he showed up. He didn't recognize me so he subdued me before I told him it was me. I asked him to do the table while I did the food and to tell you the truth, I was as surprised as you were when I saw this place.'

Hermione smiled and took her wand out, changing her jeans and t-shirt into a little black dress, taking her hair down, she let it fall down her back.

'There, at least we are dressed appropriately now. I heard what you said, yet it doesn't explain why.'

Harry took both her hands in his, 'I know that we have kissed a few times and you couldn't help yourself so you had to check me out in the shower the other day, but I wanted to do this right, so Hermione granger, welcome to our first date.'

Hermione smiled and chuckled at Harry's mention of the shower incident, yet at the mention of the first date, she truly smiled.

Dobby walked out with the first course of starters, and cleared the table when the dish was finished. This continued through the meal as course after course was brought out. Harry and Hermione talked about the training and the time they had left to which Hermione noted that she would have to plan wisely so that harry could control his powers before the year was up and they had to leave. The night was enjoyed by both teens and at the end of their date, after thanking dobby and promising him that they would make sure to summon him again, harry stood up and walked towards Hermione, extending his hand to her harry helped her out her chair. 'Thank-you for a wonderful evening, may I walk you to your house, or room in this case', Hermione couldn't help but laugh at harry and his chivalry combined with a bit of a performance. Joining in, Hermione stated 'why thank-you kind sir, that would be most appreciated'.

When they reached the door, harry took Hermione's hands into his and brought them up to his chest, pulling her closer to him. I don't want to ruin this night, but I've wanted to ask you this for a while. ' are we going out, as in boyfriend and girlfriend, because we kissed and I always assumed that after the third kiss or so it was automatically established, but I'm not sure and I don't want to…' before harry could continue his very long question, Hermione stood on her toes and pulled harry down for a kiss.

'You talk too much, and yes harry, I would safely assume that we are going out. Goodnight.' And with a final kiss, Hermione slipped into her room leaving harry whistling a happy tune to his room. Both harry and Hermione went to bed that night with huge grins permanently etched on their faces.
