A.N : Hey! I'm back. I only wrote one chapter while I was on vacation
because I had horrible writer's block. So this chapter is kind of a in
between filling kind of thing ... which doesn't make a bit of sense.
Anyway, nothing important happens in this chapter but I found it sweet, so
read!! I was also dissapointed about the reviews. Only 2 in a whole week
... *Sniffle* Just for that, I'm not going to post the next chapter until
I get at least 5 reviews!! So start reading and REVIEW!!!!! But I do want
to thank those 2 who DID review!
HUGE hugs to:
Maxx77: Thanks so much!! I really appreciate that compliment .. it means a lot!
Angelfire: Thanks again!! I'm glad you like it!
Thanks again to both of you! You guys are the best!
Until the next chapter,
¥ AnGeLeYeS ¥
P.S. If any one could help me with italics I would really appreciate it! I know where to go but I don't know how to use it (and I feel like such an idiot for asking) so if any one knows how and can help me, e*mail me please!! Thanks!
Chapter 6 *A Burst Of Laughter*
"You really didn't have to cut your cruise short. I'm fine."
"Nonsense, dear. We were worried sick." Mrs. Granger said, smoothing back Hermione's hair away from her face.
"You're not mad at me, are you? I'm really sorry."
"Of coarse not!" Hermione's mother said in a surprised tone.
"Honey, there's nothing to be sorry about. It's not your fault there are losers out there that like to pick on innocent little girls." Mr. Granger added, taking Hermione's small hand in his own.
Hermione heaved a sigh of relief. At least I have them on my side. She thought, gratefully. Anthony would make sure her and her parents would argue all the time so she would run to him.
Those days are over, Hermione. She reminded herself. Anthony's out of your life forever.

"Lavender! What are you doing here!" Hermione cried, hugging her friend tightly.
Lavender Brown gave a small laugh, " I thought I'd come and see how my best friend is doing."
Ron, Ginny, Lavender, Sirius, Mr. and Mrs. Weasly, and the Grangers were all crowded into the small white hospital room. Harry was no where in sight.
"How are you feeling? You gave us quite a scare." Sirius said, warmly, hugging Hermione.
"I'm sorry, you guys." She said, an unexpected tear sliding down her cheek.
Right then, Harry walked in, bright flowers and a soft brown teddy bear in both hands. "Hermione!" He rushed over to her. "Why are you crying?" He asked, looking at her intently and wiping the tear away with his thumb.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Hermione. I didn't mean it like that." Sirius said, giving her an apologetic look.
"No. I'm sorry, Sirius. The tears just don't seem to want to stop." She tried at some humor but failed miserably. Everyone was giving her sympathetic looks. "Don't feel sorry for me. I'm fine, really. Just watch."
To prove she was all right, she swung her long legs over the bed and preceeded to get up but winced at her throbbing head. Harry saw this and latched on to her arm. "You can do this, 'Mione." She heard him whisper.
Hermione pushed herself off the bed and stood up so quickly she would have fell back if it weren't for Harry's tight grip on her arm. "See, I told you." She announced, proudly. Everyone clapped and hugged her. Why do they have to make a big deal out of everything? Hermione thought with a smile.
"Are those for me?" She asked Harry, who was still holding on to her arm, but instead of the strong hold, his touch was gentle. Hermione wished he would wrap his arms around her like he had done the night before.
"Yup." Harry gave her a bright smile that reached his emerald eyes and made them sparkle.
Hermione threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much, Harry." She said in a voice barely audible. Then she did something that shocked everyone in the room including herself.
She kissed him square on the lips.
Hermione pulled away and tried to ignore the surprised look on Harry's face (secretly hoping it was a good kind of surprise) and the slight smiles coming from everyone in the room; including the nurse who had come to tell them that visiting hour was over.
"You need your rest anyway." Ginny said, ushering everyone out.
"Yeah, come on you guys. Come on, Harry." Ron said, a smile still lingering on his face.
"Harry."
"Yes, Mr. Granger?"
"Thank you for saving our little girl. If you ever need a check-up or dental floss, come to my office and I'll give it to you for free." He told him with a light slap on the back.
If Hermione wasn't blushing furiously, she would have burst out in laughter.
