What Happened Next, Chapter 4
Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Lavender had left the reunion and were now in the boys' car back to the flat. Hermione was on Harry's laps and Lavender was in the back. (A/N: it's a Porsche its small…lolz Hermione would've had room in the back but oh well!) Hermione felt sort of awkward being on Harry's lap. Though it was a good kind of awkward, and that worried her immensely. 'God her hair smells so good…coconut and daffodil's' thought Harry. Ron was driving and kept on looking back at Harry. Harry whom ofcourse noticed this mouthed 'what?' and Ron raised an eyebrow and then moved his eyes to look at where Harry's hand was. Harry hadn't noticed but his hand had wondered to Hermione's side thigh. Harry blushed as Ron laughed. "What's so funny?" Asked Hermione and Lavender. Ron just looked at both of the girls and sped up. They were almost home. "I have to stop at the restaurant for 10 minutes" said Ron stopping the car in front of his restaurant. Hermione, Harry, and Lavender went in to take a drink as Ron went back into the kitchen to see that everything was under control without him there. Leaving Benjamin in charge wasn't the smartest thing to do sometimes. "This is a really nice place." Said Hermione looking at the restaurant. It had wooden walls and wooden seats. Candle light dinners and red table clothes. "It looks like a good old American Tavern" started Hermione taking a sip of her drink. "Ron and I eat here a lot. I eat here a lot. It's my favorite restaurant in London." It was obvious that lots of people came here. It was completely packed and waiters and waitresses were running all over the place to make sure that everything was in order. Ron finally came out of the kitchen after 15 minutes. "Sorry it took so long. Benjamin had a little problem with the veal for table 6. Hey Vicky…" Said Ron turning around to be looking at a pretty black haired girl with blue eyes at the counter. "Can you make sure that Benjamin doesn't put the restaurant on fire while I'm gone?" Vicky nodded. "Anything for you Ron" She said smiling.
"ITS HUGE!" Said Hermione and Lavender in awe as they both entered the flat with great amazement. There was a huge wooden kitchen, a large dinning room, quite resembling the kitchen, and an enormous living room. It looked quite like a wooden cabin. In the middle of the living room was a huge fireplace. At the back of the living room was a set of twirling stairs that led to the rooms, and if you continued up the wooden swirl steps you would get to the attic, which was sort of a hang out movie room. Each room had their bathroom. Hermione and Harry settled in the living room as Lavender and Ron were making the hot chocolates for every one. "This place is amazing" Hermione whispered to her friend. (A/N: I wish to live in a wooden cabin or a huge apartment that looks like one! I am in love with hot chocolate and whipped cream! MMMMMMM!) Harry smiled at her and pulled her closer to him. She could smell his cologne and felt as if she was in heaven, like it was mean to be when he was holding her. "Its yours too now Hermione." Said Harry. "Thank you, both" She told Harry, nestling her head onto his chest. The two were watching the fire crackle in the fireplace. "They look so cute together" whispered Lavender to Ron. She was looking at them from the opening from the kitchen that kind of made it look like a bar, there were stools on the other side to make it actually be a bar. Ron looked at Harry and Hermione and nodded. "We've missed her both Lav, but Harry, the day Hermione left for the US it looked like he was going to die. I know he loves her, he knows he loves her, but he's keeping it all to himself. Oh, I wish them to be together." Sighed Ron. "Don't you like Mione to Ron?" Asked Lavender. Ron chuckled "I used to. I thought she was the girl for me, actually. But the more I thought about it the more I realized that she was just my bestfriend and all those feelings I thought I was having were just nothing. It was just a crush." Lavender took a sip of her hot cocoa, "WOW! This is the best hot chocolate I have had in my life! You're a fantastic cook!" Ron blushed. "Thank you." Ron and Lavender headed out of the kitchen with the hot chocolates for everybody. "So Hermione, how's life in New York? Any one special in your life?" Asked Ron, trying to strike up a conversation. Hermione flinched and started feeling uneasy. Harry told Ron and Lavender about Jonathan and about how he abused Hermione sexually. "I'm so sorry Hun! Want me to kick his arse?" Asked Lav. Hermione stood up and went to the phone. Ten minutes later she came back with a smile on her face. "I dumped him!" Harry felt as if his heart had jumped 1000 ft. "How about you Lavender? Anyone special in your life?" Asked Hermione. Lavender nodded. "I've been seeing Mark Underhill, from Underhill & Co.? He's a lawyer, and we have been together for six months. I moved in with him 3 months ago and we're as happy as can be." Hermione was smiling and so was Harry. Ron's smile faded. 'Great! She has a boyfriend and their happy as can be! Just great…' Harry noticed Ron's displeasure and decided to ask him about it later. "How did Jonathan take it when you broke up with him?" Asked Harry. "He yelled at me and then he calmed down, a little. Going on about how 'This isn't over Hermi.' Well it is for me!" It was now 3 am and the four had talked about friendships, Hogwarts, love, work, future plans, and family. Hermione and Lavender fell asleep over the boys. To Harry's pleasure…Hermione had fallen asleep in his arms.
