Summary: Hermione replys to Harry's letter and he ends up in a sticky situation

Letter Time



Hermione Granger had just sat down to her breakfast (tomato on toast and a bowel of fruit loops) when she heard a familiar flapping at the window. She glanced up and sure enough there was Hedwig. 'Harry's owl' she thought dreamily and her heart gave a slight leap of joy at the thought that Harry would want to write to her. She pulled open the kitchen window and Hedwig flew gratefully inside. Hermione greedily grabbed the letter and became so involved in it that she didn't even notice Hedwig starting on her toast.

After reading the letter several times, Hermione gave a slight yelp of joy. Harry wanted her to come and stay!! HARRY!! She was more excited than when she received her first A for a homework assignment. And that's not all he had signed it 'Love Harry' Hermione sighed and then blushed bright red at her own thoughts. 'He was just saying it to be nice, like the good friend he is' she thought sadly, 'he could never possibly think the same way about me as I do about him' But all that aside Hermione felt her summer had just became 10000000 times better.

Her mum and dad were at work but she was sure they wouldn't mind. After all they were simply thrilled she managed to make friends and that Hogwarts wasn't simply a disasterous repeat of her old school where she had been taunted mercilessly. Hermione then raced upstairs at record speed and grabbed a parchment and some ink. "Would you mind taking this back to Harry, Hedwig?" asked Hermione as she re-entered the kitchen. Hedwig gave her a look that simply said "I wasn't leaving without a reply anyway" Then she returned to Hermione's toast, as Hermione, breakfast forgotten sat down and began to attempt to write the perfect letter.

Just as she'd sent Hedwig on her way (after nearly 45mins worth of frantic letter writing) another sooty black owl flew through the still open window and dropped an official looking Hogwarts letter onto her lap. Hermione opened it eagerly (anything to do with school excited her) and gave a cry of triumph after reading it's contents. She then raced up to her room, with one thought on her mind 'things couldn't possibly get any better'

Back at Sirius' house and Harry's new home, our young Harry Potter was just waking up from what looked to be a very pleasant dream. He was smiling to himself and muttering inaudible words which mysteriously sounded a lot like 'Hermione' 'I' 'love' and 'you' When he finally did awake and came to his senses he looked around and sighed, 'I knew it was too good to be true' he mumbled burying himself back down into his covers trying desperately to get back into that marvalous world where he had the courage to tell Hermione how he felt, and the even better feeling that she echoed his sentiments.

Harry must have gone off into day-dream land because he never heard his door open, nor did he see a tall black haired man slip in. It was only when he was suddenly out of the blue pelted by water balloons did Harry realise what was going on. "What the.. Sirius!! What are you doing?" Harry yelled completely indignant "Sorry old chap but I thought I'd lost you for a moment" laughed Sirius casting a quick drying spell over Harry "I was calling you and calling you.. Well" he sighed "Whoever you were thinking of must be really something" Sirius baited hopeing Harry would react. He really was beginning to enjoy watching the flustered teenage boy make up excuses and lies. "What? No no I wasn't thinking about anyone.. er I mean thing imperticular" Harry stuttered and mumbled just as Sirius had hoped he would. "Well come on boy up you get it's lunch time already, and" Sirius added slyly "I think you have some mail" Harry's face changed immediately to an interested expression "Really who from?" Harry begged to know "Why I'm not all that sure who would this young lad be expecting mail from??" "Oh come off it Sirius is it from Herm.ah Hogwarts?" Harry asked mentally banging his head against a wall for his near slip up. "Well there is one from Hogwarts yes" Harry's face fell and this time he couldn't hide his disappointment, this was something Sirius observed with very much amusement. "There is another one also" Harry's face perked up slightly "Really who from?" Harry asked now he only hoped it was Hermione. "I believe it's from your good friend Miss Granger"

Harry was so elated that he forgot about his giant charade of not likeing Hermione and he raced out of his room. "They're both on the kitchen table" Sirius yelled after him. Although there was no need Harry was already down there and ripping into his Hogwarts letter. He wanted to save the best (Hermione's) till last. And also he thought if it's really bad news from Hogwarts anything Hermione has to say is bound to cheer me up.

Dear Mr Potter,

We here at Hogwarts are pleased to inform you that you have been made the 5th year Griffindor boy prefect for your year. Along with this great privilage also comes great responsibility, We believe you are up to it, hence why you were chosen, but we must ask you to seriously consider our offer before you accept. Please let us know of your decision no later than the 15th of August. We eagerly await your decision.

Sincerely Albus Dumbledore

'Well well' thought Harry 'that wasn't bad news at all, in fact it was brilliant. I wonder who the girls prefect is? I just bet it's Hermione, nobody could be more perfect. Now remembering Hermione he turned to her letter and saw the crisp envalope with his name printed neatly on the front. He carefully tore it open to reveal a clean, crisp sheet of parchment...

Dear Harry,

That's such brilliant news about Sirius, I'm so happy for him. And for you of course, now you really have a home to call your own!! I would be absolutely honoured and overjoyed to come and stay with you. Thank you so much for asking me. When should I come? Any time is good for me. I'm so excited about seeing you again. I wonder if you've changed much? I think I have but don't worry not too much! Well I hope to hear from you soon.

Love always Hermione xxxooo

Harry flushed redder than ever when he read the ending 'Love always' how sweet he thought just like Hermione is so sweet. He clearly didn't realise he had spoken aloud for he was more shocked than ever to hear someone behind him clear their throat and state "I knew you had feelings for the girl, go for it Harry you've got nothing to loose" Harry was stunned his mouth gaped for a moment mouthing soundlessly, he then was hit by the full impact of the shameful situation. He jumped up faster than he'd ever moved before and raced into his room.

He ran into the bathroom and began to kick things and hit things and hit himself, he wasn't sure why hr was over reacting so much but he supposed it was because it was the truth and he knew it. Harry kicked one of the bathroom tiles on his wall and before he could even register what was happening he was sucked into the hole he made and far, far away from his bathroom.
