Chapter 7- There you were



Hermione's POV again. This is not the last chapter but it is the one where they actually meet. If u skipped ahead 2 this chapter go back. U wont get it. Thanx 4 the reviews, keep them coming. I just realized that I actually must get more than about twenty hits daily. That's an awesome record for a gurl like me. Here it is. Don't skip this chapter pleez. It's quite long.



Okay, I'm done teaching them all unforgivable curses. Even though my "Professor Moody" from my fourth year was evil, I learned some important stuff. For example, just because something is bad, it doesn't mean that everyone should be "protected" from it. Because then everyone gets ignorant, and that's never good. I need them to know the curses and how to fight them, just in case a new Dark Lord starts to use them. I want my students to be aware and prepared.

But I can feel that we will find Harry one of these days. There was a full moon yesterday. Usually, when I look at the full moon, I just think of Professor Lupin.  He was the greatest Hogwarts professor.  Werewolves can be really nice.  If you think about it, he was the only one of the marauders who affected things but didn't get affected.  Like, he inspired all of the marauders to become animagi, right?  But when Peter Pettigrew started to be evil, Lupin wasn't affected.  He just mourned his friends and went on with his life.  That's amazing.

But now, I can feel that we will find Harry soon.  I know it.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A new day.  it is now the third.  Of April, of course.  I love the smell of April.  There are flowers everywhere.  We're here in the Great Hall, eating breakfast.  Well, I'm not exactly eating.  Nor am I listening to Ron, who's talking to me.

"Hermione?  Hello?  Are you feeling alright?  Are you listening to a word that I'm saying?"

"Huh?  What?  Oh, I'm sorry.  Just. . . daydreaming, I guess.  It's nothing, really." 

"Okay, Hermione, what is it.  I need to know.  You've been really distracted since Christmas break, and you didn't tell me where you went for that anyway.  What is going on?"  I could tell that I finally needed to let him know what I was doing.

"Well. . . I was thinking about. . . the tests I'm giving my students.  Do you think that they're too easy?  Or too harsh?  I couldn't tell."

"It's okay. Calm down, don't worry about it. So, where do you want to go to dinner tonight?" Shoot. I have dinner with him tonight. I forgot about that.

"Um, I don't really know. Anywhere's fine."

"Okay, then let's go check out that fancy new place in Hogsmeade."

Boo hoo. I feel so sorry for myself. I guess I'll just have to make Melissa and Alicia open the front door if anyone, namely Harry, comes. They love doing that. Well, actually, I don't know if they love it, but they take out some magazines and cards and things to do and sit there for hours. I just can't get that excited about it, seeing how I've done it for the last four years.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I got all dressed up and ready for dinner. It was six-thirty. I had pondered over what to wear for two hours before I settled on a shoomy sleeveless red dress and silver dangling earrings. I put glitter in my hair and on my face. I picked out the perfect handbag, and at fifteen minutes to seven, I was ready to go. I had a quarter of an hour to get Lissa and Licia over to the front door.

Soon they were there. Three minutes until seven. Alright. I'm Still waiting by the door. Waiting, watching, hoping. I seriously doubted that Harry would turn up in these three minutes if he hadn't shown up in five years, but still.

There was this giant pound on the door. Melissa and Alicia shrieked and ran to it. I laughed, just watching them there.

"It's okay, I'll open it." I walked over to the door, still giggling at Alicia, who was jumping around the room like a nervous schoolgirl. I flung open the door.

GOOD GOSH, THERE HE WAS.

Standing there, looking just as amazing as he had all the way back in our fifth year. He was smiling, standing there, looking all hopeful like. I started grinning.

Well, at least he made Alicia shut up, even if he didn't do anything else. She and Melissa just stood there, open-mouthed, this big "duh" look on their faces.

Harry and I hugged.

"Why didn't you come back before?" I asked.

"I'll tell you later- it's a really long story. Why are you so dressed up?" Right then, Ron came down the stairs.

Now I was the one with the big duh on her face. I was standing there, holding Harry, like I had wanted to for countless years, in fact, since I was eleven, and Ron had to come downstairs and ruin it all.

"Well, I just wanted to say hello again, and so I'll be leaving now." Harry walked toward the door.

There was no way I would lose him again. No way in the universe.

"Wait. Harry, you can't go, you just got here, okay?" I was trying to understand what in the world was going on here.

Oh, my gosh. Now I understood. He loved me. He had been hoping that I wasn't still with Ron. This really needed fixing, and I was caught in the middle.



CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!! I like to torture all of you, so I probably won't put up a new chapter for awhile. Then again, I put up new ones twice daily or so. So that means I won't until tomorrow. You got lucky. I'm addicted. R/R pleez. C u 2 moro.
