A/N Hey everyone, Just to remind everyone the start of this story is not where we are at right now. Hermione is just thinking about what happened between Harry and her in the past, the present is 2002. Sorry about in spelling errors in the last chapter, I am a horrible speller and was very anxious to post the first part. This will often be the case. I am also looking for a beta reader who can help me to find these problems so if anyone is interested please email me at Tahsa2003@aol.com. At the end will be a list of people who reviewed. My thanks to them and anyone else who reviewed after I write the second part!!!
"remember the good times that we had
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
wanna feel your warmth upon me,
I wanna be the one..."I will Remeber you Sarah McLachlan
Chapter 2: Will you Remeber me...
"Oh, my god Harry." Hermione whispered as she broke away from Draco. "Oh great gods what have I done?"
"You didn't do anything to be ashamed of." Draco said feeling a bit bad for what he did but the rest of him thought he loved this woman.
Hermione had gotten up this time and decided to follow Harry.
"Listen I gotta go, please be gone in fifteen minutes." Hermione pleaded
"Fine, listen I'm sorr-"
"Just get going." and with that Hermione was out the door. Knowing that Harry never took the elevator she took it and reached the bottom before him.
"I don't want to talk to you right now." Harry said
"Harry it wasn't what it looked liked. I swear I wasn't kissing him."
"Oh really then could you please explain what I saw because it looked like two adults kissing each other. " Harry said hysterically
"I didn't start it. He gave me a kiss to try and calm me down." Hermione
"Maybe you two should go up stairs." Ron suggested and without realizing it they both went up stairs. When they got to the flat, Harry went in saw Draco still in the living room with a shit eating grin on his face.
Harry stormed to Draco and started thrashing him senseless it took Ron, who was very strong from MISTA training, and Hermione to pull him off.
"Get the hell out of my house." Harry screamed
"I'll get out if Hermione wants me to leave. If not then I stay." Draco said calmly
"Just get out Draco." Hermione said
"Come on Draco I'll show you to the street." Ron said as the two left and it was just Harry and Hermione in the room. It seemed like a century before anyone said anything. Hermione knew now why people were intimidated by him, his eyes were so open yet blank at the same time. They showed his extreme anger, while masking the hurt that she knew was there.
"Harry he kissed me, I was hyperventilating and he gave me a kiss to cal-"
"To calm you down? Oh, is that the new medical technique I thought that you were suppose to start breathing in a bag. Or put your head between your legs. But if that's what Dr. Draco Malfoy says then it's okay." Harry said going to the room.
"What are you doing. Harry I love you, please what the hell are you doing."
"I'm moving out." Harry said as he tore clothes out of his dresser. He was stuffing clothes in his bag.
"Why, you pay for rent." Hermione said
"Oh don't worry I pay for the rest of this month's rent." Harry said while zipping up his suitcase.
"Do you honestly think that is my problem. My problem is you moving out becuase of Draco. I love you, you can't leave me."
"Well I loved you too, but I wasn't the one who kissed someone else." Harry said with a tear falling down his face as he walked out the door.
**********************************************************************************************
May 2002
Hermione finally got to 23rd cafe' were she was suppose to meet Ron. Hermione and Ron had agreed that Harry and Ron should live together and Hermione should find her own apartment. So they met to keep up on each other's life.
"So how's work?" Ron asked
"Oh, same as always. Guess who got a promotion." Hermione said with her eyes cocked in delight.
"Really, well that is good news. Meanwhile I'm stuck at the same rank for the past year while Harry's been roaming the world trying to investigate the source of the latest attacks on wizards and muggles." Ron said knowing that he was being a bit naughty by opening the subject of Harry up.
Hermione had dated a few men in the past year all of which had been on the rebound. She knew this and so did Ron, but Harry couldn't be convinced this. He figured that Hermione never loved him and that was that.
"When is he coming home?" Hermione asked
"Oh probably within the month." Ron said.
"Hmm, well how are you and Miranda doing?" Hermione asked looking quiet preoccupied.
"You know he loves you still." Ron said.
"He couldn't possibly forgive me for what I did. Besides I don't know if what we had was love or something we did out of obligation."
"Obligation?" Ron asked
"Yes. Everyone thought we should get together so why not get together for everyone." Hermione said wanting to believe this, because it would at least explain why she would kiss someone else while dating her true love.
"Whatever Herm, you just wait. So what shall we have today for lunch..."
**********************************************************************************************
Hermione got back to her office and began sorting through the paperwork that was all over her desk. Since it was a Monday, she had notes from Sunday and began to read through them looking for tips.
"My Aunt was abducted by space aliens...." "Oh Please,"Hermione thought to herself. She looked through many more until she came upon one in particular that interested her.
"What if I told you Harry Potter still has relatives that are alive? If you would like to meet please call at 555-1212. "
Hermione had heard many '"Harry Potter Myths"' before but this one was the most vague of all. Most of the time they went on and on about who they were, and where they were hiding his relatives. This one made her wonder.
She looked through the rest and realized it was a fairly slow day. Maybe she could just give that one a call, after, she had time to waste.
After the fall of Voldemort, wizards had decided that they liked the convinience of telephones. However, they coined the phrase,"fellytone" and since then that is what the wizard telephones have been called. She picked up the fellytone and began to dial the number.
"Hello?" a voice answered on the other line.
"Hello, my name is Hermione Granger and I work for The New York Wizard Times. I received an anonymous tip from this number." Hermione explained
"Yes, I knew you would call."
"What can you tell me about Harry Potter..." Hermione asked
**********************************************************************************************
Harry didn't like the letters he was getting from MISTA they seemed more and more urgent. He was worried about the new uprising. It seemed that Voldemort had an heir ready to succeed him if the time came. Of course MISTA had tried to round up everyone they could that was formally associated with deatheaters. In fact that was the purpose of Harry's trip the past year. Harry had been at MISTA for a little over 3 years and was a department chief, which meant that he really didn't have to take on minute tasks like this, but Harry needed the distraction.
A distraction from the thoughts of her smile, a smile that made his heart stop. A distraction from the woman who made him feel worthy of what life had given him. A distraction from the bitch that caused so much pain to his heart.
"Did I just call her a bitch?" Harry thought to himself. "That's not what she is and you know that." "That's just the problem." came another traitorous voice. "She isn't any of those things and it kills you not to have a reason for hating her."
Harry made up his mind, it was time for him to get back to New York and he apparated there in an instant. He stood in his office looking around at the place that looked the way it did the day he left. Well that wasn't counting the stack of papers on his desk, but the pictures in the room were reminiscent of that past he had run away from.
**********************************************************************************************
"That's great. Yes, how does 2:00 o'clock tomorrow sound?" Hermione asked the voice.
"That sounds fine for me Ms. Granger. At the fountain in Central Park, correct?" the voice confirmed
"That's right, if you'll excuse me I must go and prepare my notes." Hermione said as she hung up the fellytone.
Very few people new that in the inner bowels of the building was a top security file room. Hermione had only been down there once and that was her first day on her new job. She didn't get to look around. In it were files for many of the most infamous wizards in the history of the world. Actually you couldn't really call it all one room, it was more like a gymnasium with multiple sections for each wizard. Among the biggest were: Albus Dumbledore, Voldemort, and of course Harry Potter. Those three alone took up over half the room, while many others took little corners. If Harry knew about this place he would have skinned Hermione alive for encouraging it's use by other reporters.
Since Hermione was the head of investigative reporting, she had the code for the room and got in easily.
"Lumos." Hermione muttered.
The lights in the room turned on and Hermione just stared in awe. It was amazing. Next to Harry's files were his parents, they took up quiet an amount of space themselves. She was shocked to see that there was even an area for Ron and herself. She knew that they were considered THE THREE, but never had she realized that she and Ron were this important to wizard history.
"Hmm, I'll have to come back and look at that some other time." she thought to herself.
"Let's see family history on the Potter's." Hermione started flipping through pages and pages of articles about Harry and then she found something that interested her.
James Potter's New Son
James and Lily Potter, one of the most respected wizarding couples in the modern times, have just given birth to their first child. Harold James Potter was born at 12:00 AM on July, 31 1980. While the couple maintained the need for privacy, James' father, Harold Godric Potter the second, had this to say, "The kid is a regular chip of the Potter block."The family also commented that his tuition to Hogwarts is already well taken care of. If this is any of what the magical world has to look for then we can expect this much:
Harry will be a Gryffindor.
He will be the Seeker in Quidditch.
And if rumors are true, he will be the Heir to Gryffindor.
Hermione couldn't believe what she just read. The voice on the phone had been right in saying that Harry could be a Gryffindor heir. She knew she was onto the story that would bring her the Magicott, the wizarding world's award for best investigative reporting. "What about Harry?" her guilty mind plagued.
"Yes, what about Harry?" She said aloud as she pulled through more files hopping to find more on Harry's relatives.
***********************************************************************
"Oh, your back." Ron said, startled.
"Gee, Glad your back Harry." Harry said in an imatation of Ron,"Yup it's good to be back Ron." Harry answered back in his own voice.
"Did you have a nice trip?" Ron asked smirking at Harry for his imatation.
"Oh you know how it is, round up a couple of thugs, threaten Azkaban, and you always get a few who will sing like birds."
"Glad you had fun doing rookie work, meanwhile some of us were back here busting our arse's," Ron looked at Harry who seemed to be having trouble focusing."are you okay Harry?" he continued
"Yeah, Yeah I think I'm fine." Harry answered mono-tone as if not really paying attention.
"Okay, if you say so. I'm sure you read my letter about Salabaster. She's stepping up her attacks on muggl-" Ron looked at Harry who began to twitch as if under the Cruciatus Curse.
"Harry, What's wrong." Ron watched in horror as his friend's knees buckled. He collapsed onto the floor and was laying there perfectly still. Ron rushed down onto his knees and started shaking Harry who seemed to be unconscience.
"Harry wake up, wake up." Ron screamed into his ear and tried all sorts of tactics which didn't seem to be working. Ron grabbed out his portable fellytone and dialed the first number quickly.
"This is Sergent Ronald Weasly I am in Harry Potter's office and we need medi-wizards down hear quickly. The room number is 722E514." Ron hung his fellytone and turned it back on he dialed Hermione's fellytone number in her office.
"Shit, where the hell are you Hermione." At that moment Ron was startled to feel Harry's hands on his shirt, as he was dialing Hermione's portable fellytone. The phone started ringing and Ron was waiting.
"Harry thank the gods." Ron was relieved that his friend was coming out of whatever it was he was in.
"T-ttt-tell." Harry whispeared while gasping for a breathe of air that wasn't coming
"Harry you need to calm down and breathe." Ron instructed
"Ttell, 'hhermio thha I loh-ove heheher." Harry gasped before passing out.
Ron had almost forgotten about the fellytone at his ear,
"Hello?" Hermione asked
"Herm, it's me Ron. Listen something happened to Harry, he apparated back to MISTA and then I walked in his office, we got to talking and he started twitching and then passed out. I am going to send an agent to come and pick you up and bring you here, okay?"
"Ron, I don't think Harry wants me there." Hermione said, her heart hurting.
"Hermione he said something before, before he passed out. He told me to tell you, that he loved you." Ron said
"I'll be there." and with that Hermione dropped her fellytone as she slide to the floor. She couldn't help but start to cry.
