~*Harry Potter and Practical Magic*~
Chapter 15 – The Long Kiss Goodbye
"I'm really proud of all of you." Hermione said, sitting up in her hospital bed. "The W.A.R.Ts (A/N: okay, yeah, I changed it again! But Emily (Emili Potter) came up with a BETTER name "Wandless Assessment Revision Tests". Pretty cool, eh? Okay anyways, thanks for the brilliant idea Emily!) Are in a week, and you all have been studying so hard."
After the ordeal in the Attic, Harry carried Hermione to the infirmary. She was still pretty week from all of the events that took place up there. Madame Pomfrey immediately put her to bed and gave her a sleeping potion and dreamless potion. It was now 3 days since that dreadful night, and Hermione was back to her bubbly self.
Harry, Ron, Samantha, Isabella, and Draco came to visit her. Harry sat beside Hermione, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her temple. Draco and Samantha sat at the foot of her bed, while Isabella and Ron pulled up some chairs next to the bed.
"Well, studying really hasn't been the same without you there, Hermione." Ron inquired. Hermione smiled.
"That's so sweet, Ron." She said. Ron nodded his head.
"I mean, Samantha's good at yelling at us, but it's just not the same when you do it." He added, and began to laugh when he saw Hermione's face began to get red with anger.
"Whoa…Clam down, Mione," Harry said, holding his girlfriend back. "We don't need Ron to be in the hospital too." Hermione looked up at Harry and nodded, she then looked back at Ron and mouthed 'you are so dead' she then noticed Draco rummaging through her candy.
"DRACO! Stop it!" she said, and Draco removed his hand from the candy so fast it made everyone's head's spin. "Honestly, is this all I'm good for? Candy and making sure you get your homework done?" she asked. Harry smiled, and shook his head.
"You good for other things too…" he said, with a sly smile. Hermione blushed, then playfully smacked him.
"Harry! You little devil." She said, giving his arm a squeeze.
"So Hermione, are when are you going to be outta here?" Samantha asked. Hermione sighed, and shrugged.
"Well, I'M hoping on getting out of here by tomorrow. But, Madame Pomfrey is being huffy, and saying a couple more days." She replied. "We shall see about that." Then there was a knock at the door. Everyone looked at Hermione, who shrugged.
"Come in!" she shouted.
The door slowly opened, and Professor Dumbledore entered, followed by three women. One was young looking tall woman, with long red hair, bright blue eyes, and a pale complexion. The other two were much older looking, one had long curly brown hair, with brown eyes; and the other had long blondish/brownish hair, with light brown eyes. You couldn't really tell because they were squinty.
"Mom! Aunt Frances! Aunt Jet!" Samantha and Isabella shouted, running to their family members. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Draco just sat there, watching the scene before them. Harry took a long look at Gillian, she looked familiar, but he could not place her.
"Girls…" Gillian said, kneeling down to embrace them better. When they were done hugging, Gillian stood up.
"Mom, what are you and the aunts doing here?" Isabella asked. Gillian smiled.
"Well, Professor Dumbledore contacted us about what happened here a few nights ago. And we would like to talk to, your friend, Hermione." Gillian said, looking in Hermione's direction and smiling.
"And," Frances said. "We are also here to lecture you about using the craft without adult supervision." with a frown on her face. Jet nodded in agreement. Samantha and Isabella groaned.
"But first," Dumbledore said. "We would like to talk to Miss Granger, and Mr. Potter alone." He said.
Ron and Draco got the hint and told Harry and Hermione that they would be back later. They then walked over to the group by the door.
"Do we have to stay, too?" Samantha asked her mom.
"No. We will come find you later." Gillian said. Samantha nodded, and took hold of Draco's hand, while Isabella took hold of Ron's, and they left the room.
"Looks like we'll be talking to them about other things too," Jet joked with Gillian, while all of them walked over to Hermione's bed. Gillian held out her hand to Hermione.
"It's nice to meet you, Hermione." She said. Hermione smiled, and shook Gillian's hand.
"I've always wanted to meet you and your family. I was so happy when I learned that your daughters would be attending this school. It's such an honor to meet you and the Aunts." Hermione said. Gillian and the Aunts laughed, then turned to Harry.
"And you must be the Harry Potter. I cannot tell you how much it means to us to finally meet you. And not just because of the Voldemort thing." She said, holding her hand out to him. Harry blushed, and shook it. However; why did it mean so much to meet him?
"I don't understand…" he said. Gillian smiled.
"Your mother, was mine and my sister's cousin."
Harry and Hermione looked at Gillian as if she were crazy. How could that possibly be?
"But-How-What? I don't understand." Harry said, honestly confused. Gillian smiled, and sat down at the end of the bed.
"Well, your Great Grandmother, Victoria Michael's, married Logan Wildwood, and had 2 daughters; Julie-Ann Wildwood, and Mary-Sue Wildwood. Unfortunately, the Owens curse was still around, and Logan died when Juliann and Mary-Sue turned six.
Julie-Ann was your grandmother. She married Anthony Evan's; a young British man, and had two daughters, Lily and Petunia Evans. Your grandfather died when the girls were 12. Mary-Sue Owens was Sally's and Mine's mother. She married Rick Parnell. And had us. Our father died when we were about four or five. Our mother died a few years later."
"But I thought that my mum was the first witch in the family?" Harry asked.
"Sadly, Julie-Ann was a squib. Only Mary-Sue was able to do magic. Feeling like an outcast, when she turned 18, and graduated from an American high school, she moved to England where she met Anthony. And kept her life and the parts about her family being witch's a secret.
Then Lily and Petunia were born. Didn't you ever wonder why Lily's hair was red, and Petunia's was brown?" Harry thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"No, I haven't. But when you walked into the room, you looked familiar. But now that I think about it, you do look like my mom." He said. Gillian smiled.
"Anyways, when Julie-Ann got a letter from Hogwarts saying that Lily was accepted, she was so happy that her daughter was a witch. Yet, she was saddened to learn that Petunia was a squib, just like herself. Then a year later, Julie-Ann heard the deathwatch beetle, and Anthony was killed in a horrific car accident 2 days later.
At school, Lily met James, fell in love, got married, and had you; the first Owens man. So you see, Harry, your famous in more than one way."
'Great' Harry thought to himself.
"But then, Voldemort killed your parents. And you were sent to live with Petunia and her hellish family-Ow!" Gillian yelled, Frances pinched her arm. "What was that for?"
"Don't talk about your family that way," Frances said. Harry and Hermione giggled silently. Hermione then thought of something.
"But wait…Do you sometimes wonder if the Owens curse had anything to do with the death of James?" she asked. Harry thought that, that was a really good question. Gillian and the aunts sighed, and nodded.
"Yes, we sometimes wonder if the the curse had anything to do with it. But, were not positive." Jet said. Harry looked down; all of this was just too much for him, yet something else sparked his interest.
"Miss Gillian? How come I wasn't allowed to live with any of you?" He asked.
"Perhaps I can explain that." Dumbledore said. "Harry... Gillian, Sally, and the aunts were all in America. You had a life planned, here, in England. And you needed to be away from the Witch and Wizard world, and since Petunia's family had nothing to do with it, you were put with them. And, your parents wanted you to be able to go to Hogwarts when you were able. And, getting you here from America would have had great difficulty."
Harry nodded in understandment. He just wished that he was informed of all of this when he found out he was a Wizard; The first Owens Wizard.
"That's also how you were able to save this young girls life. Only Owens family members can use the Blood Bonding with a loved one." Frances informed. Harry looked shocked.
"Samantha didn't tell me that-Wait, Isabella and Samantha knew?" he asked. Gillian smiled, and nodded.
"Why couldn't you anyone tell me sooner?" He asked.
"Because, we hoped that you wouldn't have had to deal with all of this. We had no idea that Voldemort knew you were of Owens blood. And to keep you safe, I wanted to move to England to keep an eye on you. My husband at the time refused to move, so we divorced; which ended up being a good thing. But that's beside the point.
We then moved here, and the Aunts contacted Dumbledore to get the girls into Hogwarts. We never dreamed that he would use Hermione to get to you." Gillian said.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other, and Harry took hold of Hermione's hand, and held it tightly.
"Is that why I was having those dreams?" Hermione asked quietly. Harry looked at her, confused.
"Yes," Gillian said. "Just like I had horrible dreams when Jimmy possessed me." Hermione nodded in understandment.
"Miss Granger," Dumbledore said. "Could you tell us about these dreams?" he asked. Hermione bit her lip, she didn't want to think about the dreams, but she needed to tell someone.
"I was sitting in the attic, and Harry was dead in front of me. Then, the door opens and Voldemort walks in with Wormtail and says that I killed him, and that Wormtail would now get a body back.
Then you, Samantha, Ron, Minister Fudge, Snape, and Mcgonagall come in, and Fudge has me arrested. Then were at trail, and everyone testifies against me, and they find me guilty, and say that there going to perform the Dementor's Kiss on me, then the Dementor removes his…hood…and it's," tears began to fall freely down her face. "Harry, and he say's 'How about one last kiss…Mione?" She finishes, unable to speak anymore.
Harry felt his heart breaking. Why didn't she tell him any of this? He quickly wrapped his arms around her, and let her cry onto into his chest.
"I'm…So…Sorry, Harry," she says, lifting up her face. "I didn't want to tell you, because I was afraid of what everyone might think, and I just wanted to handle it myself." She sobbed. Harry smiled at her.
"It's okay, Mione. I understand. I know you're an independent person, and that's one of the reason's I love you." He said, kissing the top of her head.
"Thank-you, Harry." She said, then turned back to Gillian, the Aunts, and Dumbledore.
"Sorry about that," she said, blushing and wiping away her tears. Jet smiled.
"That's quite alright, dear. We know the emotional stress on a teenage girl."
"Especially if that girl is someone like Samantha." Frances joked. Harry and Hermione laughed. Gillian then stood up from the bed.
"We'll continue this conversation later. We have a couple of Owens girls to talk to." She said, then began walking towards the door.
Harry very quickly jumped off the bed, and rushed over to her. He then faced her, and wrapped his arms around her. Gillian smiled, and wrapped hers around him.
"I'm sorry for everything you've been through, Harry. But, I'm sure Lily and James are so very proud of you." She said, then lifted his chin up.
"You remind me so much of them, I wish I was there to have seen you grow up," she said. Harry smiled, and removed his arms from around her.
"Miss Gillian?" he asked.
"Yes, Harry?"
"Can I call you Aunt Gillian?" Gillian smiled, and nodded. Harry hugged her once more, then went back over to Hermione, who embraced him. Gillian, the Aunts, and Dumbledore then left the two lovebirds alone.
"Are you sure you're not mad at me, Harry?" Hermione asked. Harry chuckled.
"Of course I'm not mad at you, Mione." He replied. A wicked smile grew upon Hermione's face.
"Can you convince me?" she asked. Harry returned her wicked smiled, and moved closer to her face.
"I'm sure I can think of something," he said, before meeting his lips with hers.
The next evening, after a battle with Madame Pomfrey, Hermione was let out of the hospital wing. She met up with her friends at dinner in the Great Hall. Everyone was glad to see her, but Harry was the most excited.
After Dumbledore said a few words, the food appeared, and everyone began to eat.
"So what did your mom and the aunts have to say?" Hermione asked Samantha, who shrugged.
"They was upset that we didn't contact us, but was glad that we did the spell correctly." Hermione smiled, then looked at Harry.
"You must be very happy, Harry, to have a big family now." She said. Harry smiled, and put his arm around her.
"Even if I didn't have this family, Hermione, you are all I need." He said, giving her a kiss. He heard Ron groan.
"Please, Harry, I'm trying to eat." He said, shoving a spoonful of mash potatoes into his mouth. Isabella rolled her eyes.
"Oh be quite, Ron." She said, giving Ron a kiss on the cheek. The group giggled.
"Is your mum and the Aunts still here?" Hermione asked Samantha, who nodded.
"Yes, there staying in the Gryiffindor Tower. They want to make sure we did everything right, and nothing happens to you. I told them that we did everything just fine, but would they listen? OH noooo." Samantha said. Hermione giggled, and took a sip of her pumpkin juice.
After dinner, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Isabella, and Samantha all retreated to the common room; to find Gillian, the Aunts, and a few other sitting on the couch reading some of the spell books.
"You know, the American books are so much different then the books here." Gillian said. Harry looked around, and noticed that no one else was in the common room.
"Aunt Gillian, where is everyone?" he asked.
"Dumbledore sent them all to the library. He said that someone was here to see you, and he didn't want anyone else to see him…or something like that."
"Because the outcome wouldn't be a good one." A voice said from behind them. They all spun around, and were face-to-face with none other, then Sirius Black. He didn't look filthy anymore, but he looked like a very sharp dressed man. Harry, Hermione, and Ron smiled, and ran to him like crazy. They all wrapped their arms around him.
"SIRUIS!" they exclaimed. Sirius began to laugh.
"Whoa, clam down you three." He said. They all backed away from him.
"What are you doing here? Are you free?" Harry asked. Sirius shook his head.
"I'm afraid not, Harry. I heard about what happened to Hermione, and I sent Dumbledore and Owl asking if I was welcomed to come and see if everything was okay." He replied. A sad expression played upon Harry's face.
"I'm sorry, Harry." He said. "Don't worry, I will be free one day." Harry nodded, and then Sirius pulled him into a hug. He then looked over to the couch and saw a face he hadn't seen in over 16 years. Gillian's. She smiled at him.
"Hold on a moment, Harry." He said, releasing him. He then walked passed him and over to Gillian, who stood up.
"Gillian Owens." He whispered.
"Sirius Black. You look great." She said. Sirius smiled, and hugged her.
"You look as beautiful as ever." He whispered into her ear. Everyone looked at them with confused looks.
"Mom?" Samantha said, Gillian and Sirius broke apart. "You know him?"
"Your have kids?" Sirius asked, looking at the two girls that looked like her. Gillian nodded.
"The only good thing I got out of my previous marriage." She said. "And yes, Sammi, I know him."
"But how?" Harry asked.
"Well, we met at James and Lily's wedding. We kept in contact for awhile, then the whole thing with the murder's happened. And I didn't hear from him again. But," she said, facing Sirius again. "I knew all the time he wasn't a murder. Sirius loved Lily and James like they were part of his family." Then she looked over at Harry, Hermione, and Ron. "Just like Ron thinks of Harry and Hermione are apart of his family." She said, smiling. She then turned to Hermione.
"Hermione, I've been thinking about the whole Wormtail ordeal, and I'm guessing that the whole plan was to have you," Gillian said, looking at Hermione. "Kill Harry, but when really, Wormtail killed him. But I wonder…"
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Well, how come Wormtail couldn't completely take over your body? Because it should have been very easy for Wormtail to posses you, and then when Harry would have arrived, killed him." she finished.
"But then how would have Samantha and the others seen me do it?" Hermione asked. Gillian shrugged.
"We may never know. Maybe the idea was to have you kill Harry when you all were doing the craft? Or maybe he was going to frame you like he did Sirius; Kill Harry, then leave you to take the downfall when everyone found out where you were." Gillian said. Harry and Hermione shuddered at the thought.
"But like I was saying, how come Wormtail couldn't completely posses you," she said, looking at Hermione, she then traveled down to her neck, and notice the star and moon pendent. She then smiled. "You must have been protected by something. A charm, or talisman, or…pendent."
Hermione gave her a quizzical look, then looked down at her necklace. She held it up to wear she could see it, then looked at Harry.
"I thought this was just a necklace?" she asked. Harry shrugged.
"So did I." He replied.
"Some of the smallest things, can have great powers…especially in a Witch Community." Frances said, getting a few chuckles from everyone. Sirius and Gillian then looked at each other again, and smiled.
"Well, I suppose I should get going. The other Gryiffindor's should be returning soon." He said, heading towards the door. Gillian quickly caught up to him.
"Sirius, wait." She said, grabbing his arm. He turned around and faced her. "Um…I would like to, see you sometime." She said. Sirius smiled, and cupped her cheek with his hand.
"I would like to see you too, Gillian…But I'm a convict, who escaped from Azkaban…" he said, brushing away her red bangs from her eyes.
"Well, you could stay with me in my apartment in Portsmouth…" (A/N: Yes, that is an actually place in England. My friend was born, and lived there for 7 years) she said. "I'm leaving tonight. No one will know your there." Sirius began to contemplate the idea; he looked over to Samantha and Isabella.
"Would you girls mind…if I stayed with you and your mum?" he asked. Samantha and Isabella looked at each other, and after a few moments they smiled, and shook their heads.
"We would like it if you would stay there." Samantha said.
"Yes, keep our mom company until we get outta school…Then Harry can come and stay with us, also!" Isabella exclaimed.
Harry's mouth dropped. Not once did he even think about being able to stay with Gillian and the twins…and now Sirius too!
"Do you mean it?" Harry asked to no one in particular.
"Well, why not? I mean, you know that we are all family, and Sirius is you godfather, so…" Gillian said. "But of course, we'll have to ask Dumbledore, but I don't see anything wrong with you coming to live with me and the girls." She said.
"I would like to live with you." Harry said, with the biggest smile on his face.
"Okay, well, we'll have to get a bigger place. But don't you worry, Harry, when you get off that train at Kings Cross, I will be there, with a big black dog," she said looking at Sirius. "To take you to a new home."
Harry then went over to Gillian and hugged her again.
"Thank-you, Aunt Gillian." He said, then walked back over to Hermione, and took her hand in his.
"Okay. Sirius, the Aunts, and I are going to head out now. I will Owl Dumbledore and the Dursleys and ask if you can come stay with us, Harry, and I will contact the girls as soon as I hear a response." Gillian said.
After everyone said their good-byes, Sirius transformed into his dog self, and left with the Aunts and Gillian. Everyone then headed up to bed.
The next 2 weeks came and went. Samantha and Isabella received a letter from Gillian saying that Harry was okayed to live with them, and that they would be moving into a 5 room house, (Gillian has a room, Sirius has a room, the twins share a room, and Harry has a room) with 2 bathrooms on the outskirts of Portsmouth. Everything would be ready by the time they all got out of school.
Gillian also mentioned that her and Sirius were getting along just "fine", and that whenever Gillian had company over or anything like that, Sirius would change into Snuffles, and just act like her watchdog.
Samantha also told Draco about Sirius, and after about 2 hours of convincing him that Sirius was innocent, Draco agreed to come over some time during the summer and stay with them for a week or two along with Hermione and Ron.
On a certain sunny day in the library, where Harry, Hermione, Ron, Isabella, Samantha and Draco were studying for the W.A.R.Ts
"Wouldn't it be so cute if mom and Sirius got married?" Isabella asked with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"It would, but not now. I think that mom really wants to take things slow with Sirius, so that she doesn't make any mistakes. But I do believe that mom thinks that Sirius is the one. You know how mom is, she thinks that destiny brought her and Sirius back together." Samantha said, rolling her eyes.
"I think it's so romantic," Isabella said, with a sigh. Samantha snorted, and looked at Ron.
"How can you stand her?" she asked. Ron smiled.
"She's a good kisser," he said like it was a question he was asked everyday. "And, because she's funny, and sweet." Draco groaned.
"Can we please stop talking about all this lovey dovey stuff…I'm beginning to get a headache." He said, rubbing his head. Samantha laughed, and kissed him on the temple.
"There, does that make you feel better?" she asked. Draco smirked.
"No, but I know somewhere else you could kiss…" he said. Samantha opened her eyes in shock, and everyone made 'ewww' noises.
"DRACO! Your such a pervert!" Samantha shouted, playfully hitting him. He then wrapped his arm around her.
"Yeah, and I'm bad to the bone." He whispered seductively into her ear. Samantha giggled.
"That sounds like a song cue," she joked. Draco looked confused.
"What?" he asked.
"You've never heard of a song called "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood?" she asked. Draco shook his head.
"I've never heard muggle music before…except for at the Yule Ball." He said.
"Well, we've GOT to change that. You're going to LOOOOOVE muggle music. You're probably going to be a Rock and Rap guy." She said.
"Okay, Okay…Enough of the chit-chat. We really need to get back to studying. The W.A.R.Ts are tomorrow!" Hermione said, and everyone went back to reading.
The next day, all the 6th years from the Gryiffindor house sat outside of the Great Hall, waiting for the 6th year Hufflepuffs to get done with the W.A.R.Ts, which were being taken inside the Great Hall.
"So how are they going to do the grading on the W.A.R.Ts?" Ron asked Hermione.
"I think that they are going to do like a 20 over 20 type of thing of each of the things that they have you do. Kind of how they would do for an eye test. Then they're going to add them all up." She replied.
"Herm, I'm so nervous. I'm going to fail with flying colors." Ron said, wiping his forehead. Isabella hugged Ron.
"Ron, you've studied so hard! Don't worry, you'll do fine." She said, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks Issy." He said, embracing her.
Harry smiled at the scene, and walked over to Hermione; who was talking to Samantha bout something. Hermione noticed him coming, and smiled at him. He smiled, back then gave her a hug.
"What was that for?" she asked. Harry shrugged.
"It just felt…right." He said, then the doors to the Great Hall opened, and the 6th year Hufflepuffs emerged.
After the Hufflepuffs were out of sight, Professor Mcgonagall stepped out of the Great Hall.
"Gryiffindor's, please follow me." She said. And with a deep breath, everyone followed her into the Great Hall.
About an hour later, the 6th year Gryiffindor's walked out of the Great hall wiping their foreheads, and fanning their faces. Saying how hard that was, or how simple it was to make a cup of pumpkin juice to come to you buy using your mind.
"Samantha, that book you got me for Christmas really helped. Some of the things we did in there weren't in ANY of the books in the library." Hermione said. Samantha smiled and shrugged.
"School's sometimes do that too you. Tell you to study all of these books, then they have totally different procedures." She replied.
"So when do we get the results back?" Ron asked, scratching his neck.
"Matthew and Cho (A/N Head boy and Head girl) said at the Prefects meeting that the results would be owled to you within a few days." And thought then struck him. "Hey, The last Quidditch game is in 1 week, lets go out a practice for about an hour." He suggested. Ron, Isabella, and Samantha nodded.
"Okay, I'll go and find Ginny, Seamus, and Parvati." Harry said, giving a Hermione and quick kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you later, Mione." He said, before dashing down the corridor. She smiled, then turned back to the rest of the group.
"Well, as long as your going to do that, I'm going to go and find Draco. Maybe he'll play a round of Wizards Chest with me." She said, before walking in the other direction.
"Herm?" Samantha said, walking up to her. Hermione turned around.
"Yes?" she asked.
"If your heading towards the library, can you check out the 1975 version of 'Hogwarts: A History' for me?" she asked. Hermione smiled, and nodded.
"Not a problem." She said.
"Okay, we'll see you later Herms!" Samantha said, walking back to Ron and Isabella. Hermione then went to search Draco out. She later found him already in the Library.
A weeks later on June 7th, the last Quidditch Match of the year was taking place at 12:00pm; Gryiffindor vs. Slytherin.
Harry literally rolled out of bed at 7:00 in the morning with a loud 'thud' that woke up Hermione who was sleeping next to him.
"Harry?" she called out. Harry looked up at her from the floor.
"I'm here, Hermione." He said, with a yawn.
"What are you doing down there?" she asked, laying her head back down on the pillow. Harry smirked.
"Well Hermione, it is a one person bed, and once in awhile one of those people WILL fall off." He said, standing up, and picking up his glasses from the nightstand. He then sat down next to her. She yawned, and he began to stroke her hair. She sighed.
"I'm *yawn* sorry, Harry." He smiled.
"That's quite alright," he said. "Well, I might as well stay up. I don't think I'm going to get back to sleep."
"Why not?" Hermione asked, opening her eyes again and looking up at him.
"Because, this is my first year being a captain and having the pressure of winning the cup." He said. Hermione smiled, and brought her hand up to his back, and began to rub it.
"Don't worry, Harry. With the team that you have, you'll knock those Slytherin's to the ground…even if one of them is your semi-friend." Hermione joked.
Harry smiled, and nodded. "Your right. Well, I'm going to get ready and get breakfast. Do you want to join me?" he asked. Hermione yawned and shook her head.
"I've got a reservation in dreamland. I'll just see you at the game." She said, closing her eyes again. Harry chuckled and leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"I'll just close the curtains." He said, getting off the bed. He heard a sound coming from Hermione, but just ignored it thinking it was just a 'okay'.
Harry quickly took a shower, got dressed, and left the boys dormitory. He decided to just let Hermione sleep in there, knowing that the others knew that she was in there.
After he ate breakfast, he grabbed his Cometblaster and flew for awhile then around 11:00 am, 1 hour until the game he went to the locker room and waited for his team mates, who all arrived at 11:30am.
"Oy! There's the captain!" Ron exclaimed, walking over to his locker and pulling out his Quidditch gear. "Why didn't you wait for us?" Harry just shrugged.
"I woke up around 7:00, and I didn't think any of you wanted to be up THAT early." he said.
"Well," he heard Samantha say. He turned around to face her as she threw on her scarlet robe. "You still could have waited for us and we all could have had a quick practice." she said.
"No use in crying over spilt milk, Sam." Parvati said, putting her hair into a ponytail. Samantha snorted.
"Who's crying?" she asked angrily. Everyone looked taken back.
"Whoa, Sam, what's the matter?" Ginny asked, putting a hand on her friend's shoulder. Samantha sighed.
"I'm just a little nervous about playing against Draco...I don't like being in competition with my boyfriend." she said, sitting down on one of the bench's.
"Sammi, its just one game. Once Landon's wrists heals, you won't have to worry about this anymore." Isabella said.
"Whatever, let's just get this over with." Samantha said. "Have a speech for us, Harry?" she asked sweetly. Harry nodded, and everyone sat down the bench next to Samantha and looked up at Harry who was standing in front of them. Harry cleared his throat.
"Okay, this is the last game of the year. And, even though it may have been a long and hard year, I must say that though all the hard work, early practices, and some of the horrible weather we've had, I still had a wicked time, and I hope that you all did to. I couldn't have asked for a better, hard working team. And thanks for making MY job so much easier by being so cooperative. And even if we DON'T win the cup," he said picking up his bag.
"I got all of these made for you," he said, taking out 6 small trophies that had a golden person standing with a broom, getting ready to mount it, on white plaque that had their names on it and their position. He even had one for Landon and Samantha. (Whose says " stand-in Chaser) Everyone looked at them with either pride in their eyes or tears, and smiled.
"No matter what, you'll all be winner's too me." he said. And without any notice, Samantha, Isabella, Ginny, and Parvati all ran up to him and hugged him.
"This is the most sweetest thing you've ever done for us, Harry!" Parvati cried through her tears.
"You're the best captain ever!" Ginny squealed. Harry laughed, and began to push them away.
"Okay, okay." he said. "Now, let's go and win that cup!" he said, putting his hand out, and the rest of the team put their hands over his.
"GO GRYIFFINDORS!" they all shouted, throwing their hands into the air. They all then grabbed their brooms and rushed out of the room, and just when Harry was about to walk out of the room, Hermione stepped out in front of him.
"HERMIONE!" he exclaimed, pulling her into the locker room. "Your not supposed to be here," Hermione giggled.
"I'm also not supposed to go into the boys dormitory, and does that stop me?" she then threw her arms around his neck. "Besides, can't I give my boyfriend a good luck kiss?" she asked, giving him a seductive look. Harry just returned her smile, and brought his head down to meet her lips. Hermione pulled away a few seconds later. Harry whimpered,
"Why'd ya do that for?" he asked. Hermione giggled, removing her arms from around his neck, and stepped back a bit and took his hands in hers.
"Don't worry, Hero, if you win there will be a 'congratulations' kiss..." she teased. Harry grinned, and wrapped his arms around her.
"With an offer like that, I'll make sure we'll win." he said. Hermione giggled, and kissed his cheek.
"You'd better get going, Hero, otherwise they're going to start the game without you." she said. Harry quickly let her go and ran towards the doorway, when he quickly turned around.
"You'll be watching, Right? In the same spot?" he asked hopefully. Hermione smiled, and nodded.
"Right next to Hagrid." she said. Harry smiled, and ran down the corridor where he saw his teammates waiting. Samantha looked like she was about to loose her breakfast.
"Nervous?" he asked her. Samantha looked up at him.
"No...Not at all," she said with a cracky voice. She then turned her head and looked at him "You?" Harry thought for a moment.
"Yes." he said. Samantha just looked ahead of her, and nodded.
"So am I." she said. Then the doors opened, and they saw the bright sun shinning down on the field, and heard the applause, and cheers coming from the stands which were a few stories taller then them.
They walked out onto the field and saw that the Slytherin's, dressed in their Quidditch robes, and were already in the middle of the field with Madame Hooch standing in front of them. When the Gryiffindor's finally reached them, Harry and Draco took their places in front of their teams.
"Potter, Malfoy...Please shake hands," Madame Hooch said, holding her whistle up to her mouth. Harry and Draco shook hands roughly. Even if they were on each other's, almost, good side egos and pride still got in the way.
"Please mount your brooms...And I want a clean match...On my whistle...3-2-1!" Madame Hooch blew on her whistle, and the two teams kicked off of the ground and rose into the air. Harry immediately began to zoom around the Quidditch Field looking for that little golden ball. Lavender Brown began the commentary.
"And there they go. This is Harry Potter's AND Draco Malfoy's first Quidditch Cup match, being two new captains! And even though Harry didn't pick my cousin, Katrina Crane to be on the team I-"
"Lavender, please! We don't need another Lee Jordan. Just stick to what's going on in the game? Is that so hard?" Professor Mcgonagall asked, with her lips pursed.
"Alright, Alright," Lavender said, rolling her eyes. "Isabella has the Quaffle, and is heading towards the hoop-WHOA! That was a close hit! But thank-fully, Ron Weasly, Isabella's boyfriend knocked that budger right out of the way, and SMACK into Blasie Zambini's bleach-blonde BIMBO head!" Lavender exclaimed.
"Lavender, Lavender..." Mcgonagall said, covering her eyes.
Harry had to chuckle at Lavender's commentary, she was just as good as Lee. Suddenly, Draco flew up next to him.
"I wouldn't be laughing if I were you, Potter. Just because my girlfriend is on YOUR team, doesn't mean I'm going to cut you any slack." Draco spat. Harry just shook his head, and laughed.
"I don't think you'll have to be the one worrying about cutting slack, Malfoy...Especially since YOUR girlfriend, and MY stand in chaser, just scored!" Harry said.
"And Samantha Owens, who is currently dating the Slytherin's captain, Draco Malfoy, makes the first score of the game! 10 points to Gryiffindor!" Lavender exclaimed, followed by the applause from the Gryiffindor supporters.
Draco turned to Harry and snorted, he then flew back around to find the snitch, while Harry kept looking for it from where he was. After a few moments, Harry's attention was turned back to the game when he heard a cry from Ginny, and a loud "Oooooh" from the crowd. He then saw that Seamus was lying on the ground.
"CHEATER! HE DID THAT ON PURPOSE!" Lavender shouted. Harry quickly flew to where Isabella and Ron were.
"What happened?!" Harry shouted.
"Draco took a beater from one of the beaters and smacked a bludger at Seamus's head," Ron said with disgust. "Looks like some of Flint's old tricks rubbed off on him, eh?" Harry nodded.
"Guess so..." He trailed said. And a few moments later the game took place again, and Damien Valmont scored.
"Damien Valmont scores for Slytherin, leaving the score 10 to 10...COME ON GRYIFFINDORS! KICK THOSE SLIMEY SLYTHERIN A-" Lavender said.
"MISS BROWN! IF YOU DON'T STOP THAT THIS INSTENT, I WILL DO THE COMMENTARY!" Mcgonagall exclaimed.
Harry laughed again, then he looked over at Hermione, who noticed him looking at her and waved at him. He smiled and waved back, then his smile faded, and slowly began to stop waving.
He spotted it. The Golden Snitch just a few inches above Hermione's head. He started towards her, with amazing speed.
Just when he was about to her, he looked over to his side, and saw that Draco spotted it too and the race to the Snitch had begun.
Hermione looked terrified to see to Quidditch MALE seekers flying towards her at a very fast pace, without even LOOKING as to where they were going.
Just when they were about to reach her, the Snitch flew up higher, and Harry saw it and zoomed up to catch it. Draco just looked at him, then looked in front of him just in time to see Hermione duck, and him smacking right into Hagrid.
Harry was on the Snitch's tail, he just needed to get a few inches closer, and it would be his. He sped up just a little, and stretched out his arm. Not being able to reach it, he quickly threw his hand at it, and captured it.
And everything happened in a blur, and all the cheer's around him seemed to fade out, as he held the little golden ball in his hand.
"HARRY POTTER HAS THE SNITCH!" Lavender exclaimed, as all of the Gryiffindor supporter's cheers filled the air. Madame Hooch blew her whistle.
"Gryiffindor Wins! 160 Points!" she shouted.
Everyone then landed on the ground, and the rest of the Gryiffindor team member's dropped their brooms and rushed over to Harry, who was still in 'dreamland', and pounced on him nearly knocking him over.
"WE WON! HARRY!" Ron shouted, almost causing Harry to go deaf.
"The cup, Harry! We won the cup!" Ginny cried, jumping up and down.
"This is the greatest moment of my life!" Isabella said, wiping away a few stray tears.
Soon the Gryiffindor supporters ran across the field to congratulate the team. After a few high fives, back slaps, and hugs the entire Gryiffindor team was lifted high into the air and was borne towards the stands, where Dumbledore, the head boy and girl waited for the team.
Harry, Ron, Isabella, Samantha, and Ginny stood in front of the three, and with a big smile Professor Dumbledore handed Harry the Quidditch cup.
"Congratulations Harry, your parents would have been very proud." he said. Harry smiled, and bowed his head in thanks. Matthew and Cho then approached the team.
"Well done, Harry." Matthew said, shaking Harry's hand.
"Thanks." Harry said. Matthew smiled, and went to shake Isabella's hand. Cho then approached Harry. She gave him a friendly smile, which normally would have made Harry turn a dark shade of crimson...but just returned the smile.
"Congratulations Harry," Cho said, then gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Cedric would have wanted you to win. He would have been proud." Harry smiled.
"Thanks, Cho. I'm sure that he's proud of you also." Cho smiled, and went on to Isabella, giving her a kiss on the cheek also.
After all of the handshakes and kisses, Harry turned around to the crowd, lifted the trophy high above his head, and smiled as the crowd cheered and applauded. He then searched the crowd out for Hermione, who was laughing, and clapping along with Terry Boot.
Harry handed the trophy over to Ron, who held it like it was his most prized possession. He jumped off of the stand, and advanced towards Hermione.
Hermione spotted Harry coming towards her, she turned to Terry and said that she would see him later, and started running towards Harry. When she reached him, she jumped into his arms, and wrapped her legs around his waist. She then brought her head down, and met her lips with his in a most passionate kiss.
"Oh Harry! You won!" she shouted, hugging him tightly. Harry just smiled, and held onto her.
"If you hadn't caught my attention, I would never had seen the snitch," Harry said, setting Hermione back onto her feet. A thought then struck him. "Did you get hit by Malfoy?" Hermione shook her head.
"No, I didn't. But Hagrid did." Hermione laughed. She then looked at the stand and saw Ron and Ginny fighting over it. "That's a nice trophy you have there, Harry." Harry turned to look at the trophy, which was now in Samantha's hands, keeping it away from Ron and Ginny. He then turned back to Hermione, with a smile on his face.
"Mione, I don't need the trophy when I've got you." he said, leaning down and kissing her again. He then felt a hand on his shoulder. He broke the kiss with Hermione, and turned to face a giddy Ron.
"Come on, Harry! Party in the Gryiffindor tower!" he said, before running off with Isabella to get showered and changed (A/N: NOT together!). Harry faced Hermione again, and gave her another quick kiss,
"I'll see you at the party." he said. Hermione smiled.
"You betcha!" she said. And with that, Harry ran off towards the locker room.
At the party, the afterglow of the Gryiffindor victory still went head-on. Harry had never felt more alive, with Hermione as his girlfriend, having great friends, and now winning the Quidditch cup after his FIRST year of being Quidditch Captain.
"Hey, Potter." Harry heard from behind him. He turned around and looked at Draco and Samantha holding hands, and smiling.
"Yes, Malfoy?" Harry asked smugly.
"I just wanted to tell you, no hard feelings, and if I couldn't have won it, I'm glad you did and not some other annoying prat." Draco said, holding out his hand. Harry chuckled, and shook it.
"You got it, mate." Harry said. Draco and Samantha then walked off to go and get a butterbeer.
"Hey there, Hero." Harry heard Hermione say, behind him. He turned around and smiled.
"Why is it that everyone has to sneak up on me like that?" he asked have serious. Hermione shrugged, and put her arms around Harry's neck.
"So tell me, Harry, what do you do when you've realized that all of your dreams have come true?" she asked.
Harry just smiled, and leaned his head foreword and kissed her.
On June 20th, the last full day at Hogwarts, the results for the W.A.R.Ts came in.
Harry was sitting alone down in the common room when Hedwig arrived with his letter. After Harry gave a treat to Hedwig, she quickly went back to the Owlery, and he sat back down on the couch. He tore open the letter, and read the parchment.
Name: Harry James Potter
Year: 6th
House: Gryiffindor
Promoted: Yes
W.A.R.TS RESULTS:
Mr. Potter,
We are please to inform you that you have passed all five areas' of Wandless Magic; leaving you with a score of 100 W.A.R.Ts.
Congratulations, Head Boy. The staff at Hogwarts wish's you have a good summer.
Minerva Mcgonagall
Deputy Headmistress
Harry felt a small smile creep onto his face. 'Me? Head boy?' he thought to himself. His thoughts were then interrupted by a loud scream coming from the girl's dormitory.
Harry was about to run up there and see what was wrong, but stopped when he saw Hermione running into the common room.
"HARRY! I'M HEAD GIRL! I'M HEAD GIRL!" she shrieked, throwing her arms around him. Harry almost fell backwards because of the sudden weight that slammed into him, but he regained his balance when he held onto her.
"Whoa there, Mione..." he said with a laugh.
"I...I just can't believe it," she said, removing her arms from around him, and looking at re-reading her letter; just to make sure it wasn't a typo or something. "I wonder who Head Boy is?" Harry smiled.
"Your standing in front of him," he said, gleefully. Hermione's eyes shot up to meet his. Her mouth slowly formed a smile.
"Are you joking?" she asked. Harry shook his head. Hermione then let out an excited squeal and embraced him again.
"Oh Harry! This is so fantastic!" she said, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Yes it is, Mione. But you know what would be even more fantastic?" Harry asked, once they broke from their hug. Hermione eyed him suspiciously.
"What would that be?" she asked. Harry smiled, and grabbed onto her hand.
"If WE went and got some breakfast, I'm starving!" he said, dragging her out of the room. Hermione rolled her eyes, and Harry heard Hermione something that sounded like 'boys and their stomachs'. He just chuckled, and continued to pull her towards the great hall.
When they got there, they noticed that Ron and Isabella were already there. They walked over to the table, and sat in their regular seats; together, across from Ron and Isabella.
"Issy, where is Samantha?" Hermione asked, noticing their long dark brown haired friend missing.
"Draco and her already ate. As to where they are now, I have no clue." she replied. Ron scoffed.
"Probably snogging in a broom closet-Ouch! Isabella! You've gotta stop doing that! You're going to break my ribs one of these days," he said, rubbing his now sore side.
Isabella made a puppy dog face, and kissed him on the cheek. "I'm sorry, Ronnikins. Do you want my muffin?" she asked, holding out her chocolate muffin. Ron's eyes lit up, and snatched it away.
"Thanks Issy!" he said, scarfing it down. Isabella laughed, then looked at her two friends who seemed to be in their own world.
"So...What were your results on the W.A.R.Ts?" she asked. "I got 89."
"I got 88," Ron said proudly. "Mum is going to be so chuffed."
"Harry and me both got 100...So you know what that means." She said, in a sing song voice, looking over at Harry. Ron and Isabella looked at each other, then at Harry and Hermione again with a confused expression.
"No, what?" they asked together. Harry and Hermione smiled, then looked at each other.
"Go on, Hermione." Harry said. Hermione turned back to her two red headed friends.
"Harry and I are Head Boy and Girl!" She exclaimed. Her eye's glittered when she spoke.
Ron and Isabella seemed shocked at first, but then relalized that this was actually WHAT they were expecting.
"Oh my gosh! You guys!" Isabella said, leaning over the table and hugging her friends. After she released them, Ron pounced them on.
"This was so...expecting." he teased, and let them go.
"Shut-up, Ron." Harry said, smiling. He then looked at his watch, and jumped out of his seat.
"Come on, you lot, were going to be late for class!" he said, grabbing a hold of Hermione's hand, and dragging her away. Ron and Isabella were not too far behind.
That night at dinner, much to Draco and Samantha's disappointment, Draco had to sit at the Slytherin table for the final dinner. After the food was eaten, and the drinks drinken (lol), Professor Dumbledore rose from his chair at the High Table. He picked up his glass and his fork and lightly tapped the side of the glass.
"Settle down, Settle down," he said, trying to get the students attention. Once they quieted down, he smiled and began to speak again.
"First of all, I would like to say that this was a most splendid year. Fun balls, Quidditch games, and not so fun tests. But now, it's time we award the house cup." Everyone started to cheer and clap. Dumbledore smiled, and rose his hand.
"To Hufflepuff...437 points," the Hufflepuffs began to cheer. "To Ravenclaw...463 points." the Ravenclaws began to clap. "To Slytherin..444 points," the Slytherins began to clap. "And to Gryiffindor...," he paused, and smiled in Harry's direction. "480 points." he finished, and the
The Gryiffindor table erupted with shouts, whoops, hollers, and clapping. Ron immediately pulled Isabella into an embrace, and kissed her. Draco came rushing over, and hugged Samantha; congratulating her. Harry and Hermione just smiled at each other, before wrapping their arms around each other and embraced in a sweet kiss.
The train ride to Kings Cross was enjoyable. Harry, Ron, and Draco all sat on the cabin floor and played Wizards Chest (3rd person not playing, gets to play winner), and after 5 times each trying to beat Ron, Harry and Draco gave up.
"Isabella, why don't you play Ron." Draco said, really meaning 'I want to sit next to Samantha, so move.' Isabella seemed to pick it up and moved down to the floor.
Ron smiled, and cracked his knuckles. "Beware, Issy, I'm a pro." Isabella grinned.
"I think I'll do pretty good," she said, and they begun their game.
Draco moved up next to Samantha, and laid his head down on her lap while she read "Medieval Times in England" and feel asleep.
Harry moved up next to Hermione who was reading "The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red". Harry tilted his head to read the title.
"Interesting," he said. Hermione lowered her book and looked at him.
"What's interesting?" she asked.
"Your book, the title." Harry replied. Hermione placed the book in her lap, and rested her head on Harry's shoulder, and Harry wrapped his arm around her.
"So when do you think Ron, Draco and me can come and visit you three?" Hermione asked.
"Aunt Gillian said that you three can come during the week of my birthday. So, you should arrive there on Monday since my birthday is on Wednesday." he said. "What else are you planning on doing this summer?"
"Mum and Dad want to take me to Monte Carlo in Italy, then go to Cannes France for the summer long Film Festival." Hermione said.
"Sounds like fun." Harry said, yawning.
"Maybe I can convince them to let me take a friend. It would be most boring if I had to go to all these fun places without someone my age to have fun with."
"Yeah, maybe..." Harry said, before resting his head on Hermione's, and drifting off into a sweet slumber.
Harry woke up to the whistle of the train. He lifted his head of Hermione's, and looked down and saw that she was fast asleep. She looked like a baby. He then looked around and saw that Ron and Isabella were sleeping on either side of the Wizard Chest board. His eyes then drifted off to Samantha and Draco; Draco was still asleep, while Samantha was still reading her book.
"Is it that great, Sam?" Harry asked. Samantha looked and him and smiled.
"I see that your awake." she said, laying her book down beside her.
"Think we should wake the other's now?" Harry asked, looking at Hermione. Samantha nodded.
"I figure we should." Samantha said, and began to shake Draco awake, while kicking Isabella in the back.
"Ouch! SAMANTHA!" Isabella squealed.
Harry chuckled softly, and began to whisper in Hermione's ear.
"Hermione, darling, were here." he said. He then looked down at Hermione's face and watched as her eyes fluttered open. She moved forward a little, and stretched her arms.
"I spect we should gather our things then, "Hermione said sadly, and began to put her things away.
The trio, the twins, and Draco walked through the barrier of Platform Nine and three quarters. Draco spotted his butler, Alexander. He turned to Samantha, and put a cup her cheek with his hand. He smiled warmly at her.
"I'll see you in July Sam," he said giving her a quick kiss. "I love you."
Samantha smiled back. "I love you too, Draco." she said. Draco then looked at the trio and Isabella.
"I'll see you all this summer," he said with a smirk, before walking off. Ron shook his head, and looked at Samantha.
"I still don't see WHAT you see in him." He said. Ginny then appeared behind him, and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Mom's waiting for us over there, Ron." she said. Ron nodded, and told Ginny he'd be there after he said goodbye to Harry, Hermione, Isabella, and Samantha. Ginny nodded, said goodbye to them, and went over to her mother.
"Bye Harry." Ron said, giving Harry a high-five. " Thank-god we don't have to deal with the Dursley's anymore." he said. Harry laughed, and nodded in agreement. He then turned to Hermione, gave her a hug, and said goodbye. He said and did the same thing to Samantha, before pulling Isabella into his arms, and hugging her.
"I love ya, Issy. I'll see you in a few weeks."
"You had better, Ronald." she said, before giving him a kiss. He then waved to them as he walked over to his family.
"There's my mum!" Hermione said, pointing to her mom who was smiling and waving at her. Samantha then looked through the crowd of people, and spotted her mom, who was accompanied by a large black dog.
"And there's ours." Samnatha said, mainly to Isabella. "And looks like she brought Snuffles along too, Harry." she said.
Harry then looked at Samantha and Isabella as if telling them he wanted to say goodbye to Hermione in private. Samantha said her good-bye's first.
"Well, Herm, I guess we'll see you around Harry's birthday. " Isabella said, giving Hermione a quick kiss on the cheek.
"You betcha," Hermione replied. Samantha then stepped up, and gave Hermione a hug.
"I'm so glad that we've become great friends, Hermi. It's nice to have someone who loves school and books as much as I do. And I'm very happy you got the title of Head Girl." she said.
"Thanks, Sammi. I'm so glad that we became friends also." Hermione replied, letting her best girlfriend go. Hermione then looked over at Harry, who smiled.
"We'll, we'll be seeing ya, Hermione," Samantha said. "Harry, just come over there when your done."
"I will." Harry replied, and Hermione and himself watched the girls walked towards Gillian. They then faced each other.
"Well, I guess this is it." Hermione said, sadly as a tear rolled down her cheek. Harry smiled, and wiped it away.
"Hey, Hey now...None of that. It's only for a few weeks, Mione. And we'll be owling each other everyday." Harry said. Hermione sighed, and hung her head.
"It won't be the same." she said softly. Harry lifted her chin up with the side of his index finger, and looked deeply into her eyes.
"Mione..." Harry said, with a smile. Hermione didn't say anything for a few seconds, then smiled.
"Everyday?" she asked. Harry nodded, and slowly began to lean his head down to hers.
"Everyday."
"Promise?" Hermione said, closing her eyes.
"I promise." Harry said, before meeting his lips with hers. Though not admitting it, he was just as depressed as her, but he was the man and had to be strong for both of them. He kissed her with all the passion and emotions that would make up for the few weeks that they would be apart, and when they finally broke, it felt as if time had passed them by.
Harry slowly moved away from Hermione's sweet lips, and watched her eyes slowly flutter open. She looked like she was in a daze, and he chuckled at her expression. He then pulled her into a tight embrace. And closed his eyes; the tears he had been suppressing where beginning to fall from his emerald eyes. He kissed the side of her head.
"I love you, Hermione." he said. He heard a sob from her.
"I love you too, Harry. I'm going to miss you so much." she whimpered.
"I'm going to miss you as well, don't you doubt that." he said, pulling away from her, and looking into her tear filled eyes. She then looked over Harry's shoulder and saw her mom there, with a smile on her face and a hand on her chest; looking as if she were going to cry herself. Hermione giggled.
"Well, I think I should get going." she said giving him another hug.
"I'll see you in a few weeks," Harry said. Hermione smiled, and nodded.
"on July 28th. Goodbye, Harry!" she said, running off towards her mom, then adding a very loud "I LOVE YOU!" he smiled, and shouted back,
"I LOVE YOU TOO!"
Harry then looked towards Gillian, Sirius, Samantha, and Isabella. They were all smiling at him.
"Come on, Harry!" Isabella yelled, waving her hands towards them. Harry's smile broadened, and took of running towards his new family.
Even with Voldemort still on the loose, it looked like a bright new future to Harry James Potter. And no matter what obstacles him and his friends would face... The love of his family, friends, and especially Hermione, nothing can stand in his way.
~*The End*~
