CHAPTER 1--> SUMMER

Summer, a time for friends and fun. Not in Hermione Granger's case. Hermione was lying in her bed with a cold. Her older sister, Sophia was downstairs cleaning up the kitchen (Sophia never went to Hogwarts and is 24, Hermione is 17). Since Hermione was sleeping, Sophia had ordered Mexican take-out for them from their favorite Mexican restaurant. All of the sudden, the doorbell rang. Sophia went to answer the door and her jaw dropped. "Harry?" she said. "Hey Soph, guess who your new delivery boy is," Harry said, almost laughing. Sophia gave Harry a hug (they obviously know each other through Hermione, duh!) and invited him inside.

"How have you been? We haven't seen you in a while."

"I've been okay," Harry said.

Just then he noticed his best friend was missing. "Sophie, where's Hermione?" he asked.

"Upstairs," she responded, "Hermione hasn't been feeling well, got a bit of a cold."

"Oh," Harry said.

"Since Hermione moved in with me, I'm all she's got. At least right now," she explained. Mark and Elizabeth Granger, Hermione and Sophia's parents, were killed by Voldemort in the beginning of Hermione's sixth year and moved in with Sophie. There was a brief pause then Sophia spoke.

"Harry," she started, "why don't you go up and see Hermione. She's barely gotten out of her room in the past two days. It'll do her a world of good to see you." Harry nodded and walked up the spiral staircase. When he got upstairs, he saw a door with a gold H on it and knocked, knowing it was Hermione's room.

"Come in," said a quiet voice. Harry opened the door and walked in.

"Harry?" Hermione said, surprised to see her best friend in her doorway.

"Hey Hermione. Sophie told me you have a cold."

"Not a cold, just an awful headache," Hermione said. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Mexican delivery boy," Harry said.

"Ah I see," Hermione said, laughing. "It's so good to see you," she said as she hugged him.

"It's good to see you too," Harry responded. "I should get going I suppose," Harry said. As he turned to leave Hermione's room, Hermione said, "Harry wait."

"Yeah?" he said.

"Why don't you stay for dinner? We've got plenty of food and it would be nice to have you here. Things get lonely here sometimes." Harry didn't need to be asked twice, "Sure I'd love to."

They ate dinner and had a great night just hanging out. Before Harry left, he told Hermione that he had a great night and kissed her cheek. After Harry left, Hermione was still blushing and ran to her room and jumped on her bed. She turned on her stereo and Kelly Clarkson's 'You Found Me' started playing, so Hermione started singing to it. Sophie heard it and knew her little sister was celebrating Harry coming. She knew Hermione had fancied Harry for a long time, since they met, to be more precise. She shook her head and smiled.
