It took everything ounce of focus I had to write this chapter. I apologize that it is short, but it was all I was able to write. My mind has been everywhere but here. That's the problem with being a new homeowner. Adulting is hard.

The morning sun shined into the bedroom awaking the blonde woman in the bed. Stirring lightly, she felt a body beside her. Seeing the jet black-haired man next to her as she turned to face him, the memories of last night came flooding back. Running her fingers thru his hair, she couldn't believe that she was now dating Harry Potter. If her younger self could see her now, she didn't think that she would believe it. The two never talked more than a couple of times during school and that was only because of Snape pairing up Gryffindors and Slytherins together for projects.

They talked about everything they could last night, along with a bunch of kissing. Talking about his past relationship and how much it wasn't right for him. And how he couldn't see that until he was out of the relationship. About how Daphne hadn't been in a relationship that lasted longer than two months because she couldn't let anyone or anything hold her back from her dream. Or they turned out to be gay. Which made Harry laugh just thinking about the situations she was in when they told her. But of course not after he promised her he was completely straight. And she did not mind the way he showed her.

Daphne brought up her childhood and the adventures her parents would take her and Astoria on when they were young. And why she chose to move to New York after Hogwarts, even with all the other places she had visited.

Harry told her of his life at Hogwarts and why it was truly his home no matter what happened to him during those years. Confirming the rumors that surrounded him. He even showed her his scars that he got during the Triwizard Tournament. At least the ones that weren't from Voldemort's second rise.

The stirring coming from Harry made Daphne nervous. She was never good with relationships and he just got out of a very big one. What if he woke up and changed his mind? They have only been hanging around each other for a couple of months. He was supposed to be out of New York by now.

"Hey, you." Harry's raspy voice whispered as his green eyes found Daphne's blue. All the doubtful thoughts disappeared from Daphne's mind.

"Morning." She whispered right back. Feeling Harry's arms wrap around her body, pulling her closer. She stole a quick kiss from him in return. "How'd you sleep?"

"Mmm very well." Nuzzling his nose into her cheek, "Better than I have in months. And I think it has something to do with a certain someone."

Letting out a small happy sigh, "I can't believe that this is actually real."

"I know. Me either." Kissing the top of her head, he could finally feel happy. Being here in this bed with Daphne made him feel more relaxed and better than ever before. This trip was to find himself, but he didn't realize it was going to happen with someone else. And he couldn't be happier. "I don't want to leave this bed just to make sure."

Snuggling into his chest, she agreed "then let's stay."

"Daphne Greengrass where have you been?!" Tracey exclaimed as Daphne walked through the door of their apartment the next morning. Daphne was never the one not to come home after a date. No matter how successful. "I have been worried sick! Your bed was still made, your clothes weren't put in the laundry, coffee wasn't made. What happened?"

"I was with Harry." Daphne nonchalantly mentioned as she walked to her bedroom.

"Harry?" Following her best friend to the bedroom, Tracey took a seat on the bed as Daphne began to get ready for the day. "I don't understand."

A large smile grew on her lips when she thought about last night and morning. A lot had happened and her relationship with Harry took the next step. "Remember when you first met Harry and you told me that I should wake up in his arms? Well, I did that."

"Oh my god! Daph! Are you two together now? How did it happen? What happened on your date that you ended up in the arms of Harry? I need to know every detail. Do not leave anything out."

"Well, after I finished yelling at him for not telling me that he and Weaslette broke up we actually talked. He explained why it was hard for him to talk about it at first, but when he met me he would forget about her. He was only supposed to stay in New York for a couple of days."

"But he wanted to see if something could happen between the two of you." Tracey adding, knowing very well of Harry's crush on Daphne. "Weaslette is his ex right?"

"Yes. Sorry, it is charming nickname us Slytherins gave Ginny Weasley. Really it was Draco who came up with it, but details for another time." Changing from her outfit from the night before into a fresh sweater and jeans. "And another time will be when I am back from my day with Harry."

"First date?"

Shrugging her shoulders with a small smile on her face, "I guess something like that. I mean we don't really need to go on that get to know you date. But we are going to spend the rest of the day together."

"As boyfriend and girlfriend." The teasing tone of Tracey's voice followed her to the kitchen, where she poured herself a fresh cup of coffee. "So is he a good lay?"

Giving her a best friend a scolding look, but she also knew that Tracey wouldn't let it go if she didn't give her an answer. "Yes."

"Oh my god, seriously? That is so unlike you and I am oh so proud."

"Shut up. Now let me drink my coffee, I haven't gotten that much sleep."

"Gee I wonder why," Tracey said as she dodged an apple being thrown at her. And luckily for her, there was a knock on the door. "You brought coffee? Enough for me even? Aww, Harry, you shouldn't have."

"Hi, Tracey," Harry said handing her one of the travel cups. "I also brought some donuts."

"Yeah, Daph has to keep you around." Taking the pink box of pastries away from him. "She's in the kitchen."

Nodding his head, he walked into the kitchen to find Daphne's back to him. Setting down the coffee, he wrapped his arms around the girl. "I missed you."

Letting out a light scream, Daphne turned to face Harry "Don't do that, you jerk. You scared me half to death!"

"Sorry, but I had to do it." He said kissing the top of her head, trying to hide his goofy smile that was growing on his face. "You ready to go?"

"With you? I'm ready to do anything."
