Chapter 3: Dreams & Announcements
Harry, trying to help Hermione steer the broom, was overtaken with emotions. Hermione's skin was so soft. Her hair smelled like fresh-picked cherries. He could have stayed there all day, but suddenly, Hermione spoke bringing back to Earth.
"There it is! The Borrow!" Hermione proclaimed. Harry helped Hermione glide softly to the ground. Harry and Hermione got off the broom. Harry looked longingly at the house before him, memories flooded into him. The cool nights they would sit outside, how Ms. Weasley would always fuss over him, & the constant running around. He remembered what he missed the most. His best friends and his 2nd loving family. These cheerful memories flooded back to his mind before stepping onto the threshold of the house.
Hermione knocked on the door smiling at Harry. She could tell that he was remembering his joyful past. She heard moving inside. Ms. Weasley abruptly opened the door and seized Harry. She whispered, "Great to have you back, dear." Harry just smiled.
As they walked into the kitchen, all the Weasley's were there, with the exception of Charlie & Bill. They all greeted Harry with a warm welcome. Hermione & Ron just stood together smiling. They were both happy to see their friend once more.
Dinner was delicious. Harry, Ron, & Hermione were talking happily. In the middle of dinner, Lavender showed up. Ron greeted her with a kiss. Harry, not having a clue as to what was going on, looked dumbfounded. Hermione leaned over to him. "They've been going steady for the past year!" Hermione whispered excitedly. Harry smiled. He always knew that Ron & Lavender would make a good couple.
After dinner they went outside for desert. Harry walked over to a chestnut tree & sat down alone thinking about his 6th year once more. Harry & Hermione were going out. For one month in fact! Then Harry heard the shocking news. His mother was alive! Lily came to greet him. She asked if Harry would come & live with in Ireland. It was the toughest decision he had to make. Leave his best friend & his girlfriend behind & live with his mother. This was the kind of thing Harry dreamed about, going to live with his mother. So a week later, he left the only world he had ever known to go to a far off place. This made Harry scared, but he had to do it. Harry heard a noise behind him. It was Hermione. She came over & sat beside him. "Are you okay?" Hermione asked him.
"Yeah! Just thinking about our 6th year." Harry replied. Hermione's smile faded a little.
"Oh." She said looking down at the ground.
"I'm sorry, Hermione. It's just." Harry started but Hermione cut in.
"Don't be sorry! It was your mother! You did the right thing!" Hermione said uncertainly.
"But I left my best friend..& my girlfriend behind." He put his hand on top of hers. "I know it was my mother, but I left the people I loved! I wondered EVERY SINGLE NIGHT if I did the right thing." Harry looked into her eyes. She looked into his. They moved ever so close. Their noses were almost toughing. They were about to kiss when Ron said, "Excuse me! EXCUSE ME!!!!" Harry & Hermione stood up abruptly. Every one else silenced. "I have some exciting news!" He said smiling at Lavender & holding her hand. "Lavender & I are engaged!"
