What Happened Next, Chapter 5
Hermione woke up to the sweet sent of Harry's cologne, she lay there watching him sleep. 'He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping. Like no one or nothing in the world could be able to affect him.' Though Hermione. It was funny how thinking of Harry in any single way would make Hermione smile. Hermione quietly got up and started making herself a glass of tea in the kitchen. Sometimes she would glance at Harry sleeping for one second and the next she would be paying attention to her tea. Lavender woke up to the sound of the crackling fire ashes in the fireplace. She smiled gallantly at Hermione and made her way up to the kitchen. "Good morning, luv" Said Lavender. (A/N: People in London always say 'luv' at the end of a sentence, its part of speaking 'cockney.' Don't worry Lav doesn't think of Mione in that way…you perves…. Just playing!) Hermione smiled and mouthed 'good morning' to Lavender. The girls sipped their tea quietly not wanting to wake the men up. "What time is it?" Whispered Lavender. "11:45, why?" Asked Hermione. Mione looked at her friend and noticed she had become as pale as Nearly Headless Nick. "What's the matter?" Asked Hermione in alarm. "I was supposed to meet Mark 45 minutes ago! He is going to be so upset with me!" Lavender spoke while getting her coat to leave. Hermione stopped her by taking her arm. "I'm sure he'll understand…" She said, but as Lavender shook her head, Mione understood that she wasn't the only one with boy friend problems. "Say bye to the guys for me!" With that Lavender ran out the door. Ron was the next one to wake up. "Hey Mione," He said kissing her on the cheek, "why did Lav leave?" He asked. Hermione didn't know what to say. "She…umm…had a date with Mark 45 minutes ago, so she left in a hurry five minutes ago." Ron flinched, "What's up with you?" She asked. Ron muttered 'nothing' but Hermione knew when something was up with Ron. You could see it in his eyes. 'As usual…Harry's the last one up' Thought Hermione as Harry stood up to say good morning. Harry kissed Hermione on the cheek and got a piece of toast. Hermione and Ron started laughing. "What?" Asked Harry. "You haven't changed Mr. Potter, you still wake up with your hair looking as if it were hit with lighting." Chuckled Hermione. Harry went up to her and his face was almost touching hers. "Well isn't that why I have this scar of a bolt of lightning?" He whispered to her. 'Wow those eyes…are incredible' thought Hermione. Ron noticed the bond between the two and the chemistry. He stood there smiling, watching his two friends stare at each other…lovingly.
Hermione had finally moved in with Harry and Ron. Everything was so perfect! She was so happy to have found her friends again; nothing could make her happier. Especially since Lavender had become a new member of their group. The four best friends were so happy, that they decided to throw a party, for it had now been 2 months since Hermione had moved back to London. Ron had decided to make it at his restaurant. "I'll close it for a night! It'll only be us four and I'll prepare us a real feast!" He said happily to the rest of the group. Hermione, Harry, and Lavender arrived at the restaurant at 8:00 pm sharp. It was decorated with the Gryffindor colors and in the middle of the restaurant was a photo album of their times at Hogwarts and now. "This is great Ron!" Exclaimed Harry to his friend. The two girls nodded and sat down at the table. Ron came out with a tray of cheese, bread, caviar, and seafood. (A/N: Some of my favorites!) "This is excused!" Said Lavender eating off the caviar happily. "Just us four" Said Harry. Lavender, Ron, Hermione, and Harry raised their glasses of Champagne to each other. (A/N: Cling!) Suddenly Hermione turned her head to the door. Someone was banging furiously at the door. "HERMIONE COME OUT HERE NOW!" Hermione's worst fear had come true. Jonathan was back! "I'll have to see what he wants." She said. Harry and Ron were behind her to protect her if Jonathan would try to hurt her. "Coming…" She said nervously. Hermione opened the door and before she could speak Jonathan pulled her out the door. Hermione fell hard to the floor, for the pull was quite hard and completely unexpected. "YOU BITCH! YOU BROKE UP WITH ME TO MOVE BACK TO THESE GEEKS?!" Yelled Jonathan pointing at Harry and Ron who were fuming by now. "WE'RE OVER! O-V-E-R! GET THAT THROUGH YOU'RE THICK HEAD!" Yelled back Hermione. She felt good being brave in front on Jonathan. Unfortunately for her Jonathan had gone completely mad. He got her up, held her wrists tightly and pressed his lips against hers. "A!" Said Hermione. She was trying to push him away bur he would just hold on tighter. After that what seemed forever kiss, Jonathan let go and slapped Hermione right across the face. 'That's it!" thought Harry. Harry hurried his way up to Jonathan and punched him right across the face and then in the stomach saying "No one hurts MY Hermione and gets away with it!" Jonathan was on the floor by now bleeding. The police came over and Hermione told them the whole story. The cops came around and took Jonathan away.
Hermione, Ron, and Harry went back inside. "Are you ok?!" Asked Lavender. Harry was badly beaten and Hermione had a red mark across her cheek. "We're going to go get the safety kit." Said Ron, as he took Lavender with him. Harry and hermione were now alone. "Thank you" said Hermione. "Ron would've done the same thing." Said Harry. Hermione held his chin up so she could be staring into his eyes. "I've never felt so terrified and safe in my whole life Harry. Just you being there made me stronger. Thank you." Harry looked back at her with that same truthful look in his eyes. "No one will ever be able to hurt you while I'm here. If anything ever happened to you I don't know what I would do. I love you."
