This part is a songfic to Hanging by A Moment by Life House. I absolutely love this song. This part leads off right when the last part ended.

Harry looked down at Hermione and smiled. She smiled back.

"God, I'd forgotten what you looked like when you smile."

He reached down and gently brought her chin up. He gave her a chaste, butterfly kiss.

She shivered under his touch.

He reached for her again, kissing her softly at first, then more passionately. His hand tangled in her hair, and every second of that kiss sent fire through her body.

Their rings sparked and that eerie music began to play once again. He pulled away from her slowly, and they were both breathless.

"Care to dance, mademoiselle?"

"Certainly" she said, accepting his outstretch hand.

"I'm kinda bored with this music, aren't you? I mean, they should have better, for the boy who lived and his girlfriend who died but is alive again, don't you think?"

Hermione laughed. "Quite true. This is despicable!"

Harry concentrated hard, and the eerie music stopped and a familiar muggle song began to play.

"I love this song..." She whispered in his ear.

*Desperate for changing, starving for truth*
*Closer to where I started, chasing after you*

He held her close, and they swayed in time with the music.

*I'm falling even more in love with you*
*Letting go of all I've held onto*
*I'm standing here until you made me move*
*I'm hanging by a moment here with you*

"Harry, I-"

"Shh..." Harry hushed her.

But it didn't matter. He already knew what she would say. She said it everytime she kissed him, hugged him, or even looked at him.

*Forgetting all I'm lacking, completely incomplete*
*I'll take your invitation, you take all of me*

She looked up at him.

"What was it like, all those days I was gone."

"It was a living hell, Herm. Seriously. I- I might have fooled a few people into thinking that I'd be okay, but- I wasn't. And I wouldn't have been. I was falling apart without you. I didn't know whether I was coming or going, and couldn't think straight. All I knew was... you were gone. And I didn't know how much longer I could last."

Tears were running down her cheeks. "Harry, I- I watched it all from up there. I hated it. I hated seeing you and Ron... crying, falling apart, and I couldn't do anything. And Lily had watched you all your life up there... and I don't know how she could do harry. I couldn't... and it was so scary, I couldn't remember anything... And then I watched... and saw you... I couldn't stop crying and-"

"Shh.. Herm, please don't cry..."

*I'm falling even more in love with you*
*Letting go of all I've held onto*
*I'm standing here until you made me move*
*I'm hanging by a moment here with you*

She wiped her tears on his robe, settling her head into the crook of his neck. She felt his pulse beating softly against her cheek. It was comforting, and she dried her tears as Harry gently swayed her.

*I'm living for the only thing I know*
*I'm running and not quite sure where to go*
*I don't know what I'm diving into*
*I'm hanging by a moment here with you*

"Herm, I hate to see you like this. Please, stop crying..."

"I'm scared Harry. He's back... He's coming after you Harry... What if he takes you from me...? What if...He killed me once, he can kill me again. It's only a matter of time before he-"

"Hermi, look at me. Look me in the eye. I will not let him touch you again. I swear upon my own grave. I swear it, he won't hurt you. I'll die before that happens... but right now... it doesn't matter. I love you... and I swear no harm will come to you... You're here... and that's enough motivation for me to kill three hundred Voldemorts. That's what you do to me... You make me feel like the King of the World..."

*There is nothing else to lose there is nothing else to find*
*There is nothing in the world that could change my mind*
*There is nothing else*

"Harry, promise me, whatever else happens, we'll always be. What ever we are, friends, lovers... we'll just be. Together. Promise me I won't lose you like I did Des..."

"I promise... as long as you promise to be my Queen of the World."

"Okay... Do I get a crown?"

"You already have a halo, what do you need a crown for?"

"Kiss me..." She said simply.

He did, pulling her close. The kiss was deep, but it wasn't just a kiss. They were tasting, drinking of each other, holding on in anyway possible. Feeding off each other.

They fell onto the couch, still kissing. Hermione felt Harry slip off her robe. She didn't bother to object, regardless of the slumbering Desiree in the corner. He pulled her closer to him, sending a wave of shivers down her spine.

He affected her this way all the time.

*Desperate for changing, starving for truth*
*Closer to where I started, chasing after you*

She lay against him, breathing heavily. She clasped his hand tightly, sticky with sweat. She ran her finger up and down his bare chest, tracing the pattern of his tight muscles. He once again had his hand in her hair twirling it, playing with it.

"Harry, one more promise..."

"What?"

"Promise me you'll never stop being Harry..."

He looked puzzled.

"It's just, I had this dream and- oh never mind. I just want-"

"Things to stay the same."

"I want to be with you."

*I'm falling even more in love with you*
*Letting go of all I've held onto*
*I'm standing here until you made me move*
*I'm hanging by a moment here with you*

"I love you..."

"I know."

And they lay in comfortable silence, just enjoying each other as Desiree slept on... In Gwynedd's Den.


Awwww.... Wasn't that sweet! No that wasn't the last part, a lot more stuff to happen yet!
