Chapter 5 : Story Telling and a Plan

A/N: Ok I'm pretty sure that there will be cursing in all the following chapters. If you don't like it, you might want to leave.

A/N2: I'm having a bad case of writer's block so if this chapter sucks, oh well.

A/N3: Thanks for reviews.

Disclaimer : All I own is the plot. JKR owns everything else (even Davey Gudgeon). Blatant enough?

Finally it was lunchtime. Harry stuffed his face with chicken and mashed potatoes. He couldn't stop thinking about Hermione's problem. He also wanted to find out what happened to his mom. He was finished with his lunch and rushed to Gryffindor Tower. He gave the password and went to his room. After lots of anxiety, he was able to go to sleep.

"Good, no sign" Harry thought to himself. He considered knocking but then he thought, "This is my house too. No need to knock." He entered his parents abode. His mom was making lunch and his dad was reading the Daily Prophet. Harry stood there for a minute, savoring the moment. He never had this with the Dursleys.

His parents noticed him, said hi, and asked, "Want anything to eat?". It seemed so casual, as if this was a daily routine.

"No, I just had lunch. I was wondering about what happened to mom." Harry replied.

His parents had blank faces. They seemed to have a brain fart. Finally, Lily responded, "Oh yeah…You want to know what happened to me when I was in sixth year". Just the thought had sent her into fits of laughter.

"James, why don't you tell the story," Lily added.

Looking back with a playful grimace, he replied, "Alright, I'll tell the story".

He then added, "This all happened in sixth year. Your mom and I…well we hated each other. We were prefects and we couldn't stand each other".

Harry was astounded but his dad continued.

"Anyways some fellow in Slytherin sent an owl. What was his name again Lil?".

"Um, I think it was Davey something." Lily answered.

"Oh yeah, it was Davey Gudgeon. Well, he sent her a letter and wanted to meet her by the lake." Another burst of laughter came from Harry's mom.

With a big smile, James continued the story.

"Your mom was really desperate to not meet this guy. The fact of the matter was that he freaked all the girls away. She wanted to get the rejection part out of the way."

Harry glanced at his mom, who had an evil grin on her face. It looked identically to the one Harry had on when he took the picture of Ron with his pillow.

"Lily, you want to tell the rest of the story?" James asked.

She replied, "No way…it'll never get finished because I'll just keep on giggling."

James proceeded to give her the puppy eyes and still got a no.

"Oh well", James continued. "I always liked your mom. I thought she was so cute and I loved her eyes. I just never said anything. " With this confession, he blushed.

"Anyways after dinner she went to the lake. Davey was already there with a bouquet of flowers. He thought he had a chance with the hottest girl in school." Lily playfully hit him over the head and Harry urged him to continue.

"Ok well about ten minutes later, I thought enough was enough. I liked her and I wasn't about to let some Slytherin try to get her. Lil, why did we ever fight anyway?"

"Because I liked you too…and sometimes you acted like a total prat."

James stuck his tongue out at her and returned to his story by saying, "So I ran to the lake. I told her that there was an emergency. We ran from the Slytherin and your mom thanked me. And then I kissed her. And then I got a good right hook from your mom." James touched his chin and then asked if Lily could continue the story.

"Oh alright. I do owe you that much for hitting you so hard." Lily replied with a chuckle.

"Davey wouldn't leave me alone. He kept asking me out. I hated you dad more than anything…even though I thought he was gorgeous. After a couple of months, I thought that I should just face the guy and tell him that I might go out with him if hell froze over. So I go meet him in the dungeons. After five minutes of awkward silence, he still wouldn't say that he liked me. He finally just let me go."

"And I started to pursue her, " James added. "She couldn't beat the Potter charm". After saying this, James expected another smack on the head but nothing happened.

Lily sat down next to Harry and said, "Uh huh. And that's why it took us most of seventh year to work out our problems."

His parents laughed. They looked so happy. Harry couldn't see his parents hating each other.

After some more storytelling, Harry realized that it was getting late.

"Oh my god. It's probably almost dinner. I got to go mom. See ya later dad."

"Alright Harry…Come see us soon".

Harry was awake. He took a look at his watch and saw that is was only two.

"Good," he thought.

Harry rushed down the stairs of his dorm. Hermione wasn't in the common room.

"Well, if she's not here she's probably in the library," Harry muttered to himself.

With his plan in mind, he walked as quickly as he could. The last thing he needed was a detention or points from Gryffindor for running in the halls.

"Where are you going Potter," a vindictive voice said. The owner of this voice was none other than Professor Snape.

"To the library, I need to find Hermione." For once, Harry was telling him the truth. Snape, of course, thought he had other motives and took ten points from Gryffindor.

"So much for not getting any points off," Harry mumbled quietly.

"Another five points from Gryffindor" Snape yelled.

"Oh damn him." Harry thought.

At last he arrived to the library. He was being badgered by Madam Pince. After a quick scolding, he saw Hermione.

"Hermione, I've got an idea." Hermione looked up from the book she was reading.

She perked up and said, "Harry, you kick ass".

Harry briefly explained the story his mom and dad had told him. Hermione was looking fairly amused.

"The only thing is that you have to tell Ron. I don't want to be the hero in this one," Harry added quickly. Hermione's face fell.

"If we tell Ron, he'll kick Malfoy's ass all the way to Durmstrang. I don't want Ron expelled."

"Don't worry about it. I'll mention Malfoy likes for you. Then I'll tell him that your meeting him tonight. By the way, where are you guys meeting?".

"We're meeting by the Quidditch field," Hermione responded.

"I'll go with him and we'll say that McGonagall is mad as hell and wants to see you."

"Okay, lets do it," Hermione replied.

"After we get away from Malfoy, I'll leave you two love birds." Harry said this with a slight chuckle. With his Quidditch reflexes, he narrowly missed the book thrown at his head.

"Are you sure you want to do this…I mean, we can't turn back time unless you still have that Time-Turner."

"Yeah I'm sure of it." Hermione had a sparkle in her eye. She almost looked like she was day dreaming. We can all guess about who and what.

"Earth to Hermione…Anybody home?" Harry didn't get a response and muttered to himself, "They both need help. Stupid hormones."

He then saw Cho. She flashed a smile and Harry legs turned to jelly. He slumped back into a chair. He stared dreamily out of a window. A weird smile covered his face.

"Harry…oh jeez he saw Cho. And he says me and Ron have problems."

*End of Chapter Five*

A/N: That was pretty short but at least I'm writing. Again, sorry if that wasn't too great.

A/N2: There's a little button at the bottom left corner. Press it. It lets you review. That's your mission for the day.

A/N3: Okay this is the last one. Serious. Did Hermione kiss Harry in Goblet of Fire. I don't think so but I heard that she did. I'm just wondering…
