Chapter 2:
Hermione awoke to someone shaking her.

"'Mione, wake up. It's just a dream." A voice told her. Hermione opened her eyes to see a pair of emerald green ones staring back at her. "'Mione, are you alright?" Harry questioned her. "What happened?"

"It was just a dream, that's all." Hermione told her concerned boyfriend as she tried to shake the image of him lying dead before her from her mind.

"Wanta talk about it?" Harry asked brushing a curly lock of chestnut hair away from her face.

"No, I'm fine." She replied, Harry eyed her suspiciously. "Really Harry, I'm fine, see." Hermione said before placing her lips upon his. She slid her arms up his lean, muscular back and then locked them around his neck bringing him closer. Hermione remembered where it had all started.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was the beginning of their 6th year and Hermione was a starry-eyed teenager, completely in love with her best friend, Harry Potter. The only problem was that she didn't know how he felt about her but there was only one way to find out. Harry felt the exact same way.

One day in early September Hermione and Harry were sitting together in the Common Room of the Griffyndor house waiting on Ron to finish getting ready for dinner.

"I swear, he takes longer than any girl I know." Hermione told Harry. Harry just shook his head.

"Hermione, can we talk? Harry asked quietly.

"Sure Harry, what's up?" Hermione asked while she tried to stay as calm as possible. She didn't know what Harry was going to say but it made her heart beat faster every second.

"Well, I, um. um. I like you." Harry stammered when he said this.

"What?" Hermione hadn't been expecting this but was very happy that he said something.

"Um, Hermione I like you." Harry said again more clearly.

"Really?" Hermione questioned. Harry nodded. "Well, I like you too. I like you a lot." Hermione said blushing deeply.

"Really?" Harry questioned in disbelief. "You like me?"

"I've liked you for a long time Harry. I just couldn't ever tell you."

"How long?" Harry said grinning slightly.

"Since 4th year but I thought you didn't like me, so I decided to date other people."

"I thought the same thing." Harry said smiling. "Hermione, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

"I would love too, Harry." Hermione said giving him a bright smile. Harry leaned in a kissed her. It was the most wonderful thing she had ever felt. Harry's kiss was amazing. When the two broke apart Hermione looked Harry into his eyes and asked him, "This won't affect our friendship will it? I wouldn't ever want to lose what I have with you."

"I know, me neither, but I have a feeling that this will be a lasting relationship." Harry smiled at her.

"Me too." Hermione said and then she drew him in for another kiss and she pulled away suddenly. "What about Ron? Do you think he'll be angry? I mean how would he feel about me dating his best friend."

"Well, he'll either accept it or be angry. We'll hope for the best." Hermione nodded and gave Harry a smile. Harry kissed her again, but before they had gotten very far they heard a noise from behind.

"Um hum!" Ron coughed and cleared his throat loudly. Harry and Hermione broke apart suddenly.

"Ron!" Hermione said as her cheeks became tinged with a deep red. "We were just waiting on you. You take forever you know." Harry nodded but wouldn't look his friend in the face.

"What's going on here?" Ron asked eyeing his two best friends suspiciously.

"Um.uh." Hermione rambled, trying to think up an excuse for kissing Harry.

"We were kissing, I asked Hermione out." Harry said with complete confidence. Ron looked from Harry to Hermione and then back to Harry then he let out a giant grin and whooped.

"Well, its about bloody time!" He yelled. This was not the reaction Hermione and Harry had been expecting but they were happy with his acceptance.

"You mean you're okay with.us?" Hermione asked motioning to her and Harry.

"Herm! Are you kidding!? Dean and I had this bet going on to see how long it would take you two to get together." Harry stared at him open mouthed.

"Come on, don't tell me you guys thought I would be mad!" Ron laughed loudly at this thought.

"Well actually, we thought you would be, based on how you acted when I started dating other people after you and I broke up." Hermione said. Ron laughed again.

"Hermione! I was mad because I knew how much the two of you liked each other and both of you chose to ignore your feelings. I get 15 galleons now! Thanks a lot guys!"

"You mean you could tell?" Harry asked.

"Come on, Harry, try as obvious as the sky is blue! But I'm just happy you two finally admitted it! Come on, let's go to breakfast, I'm hungry." Ron walked out of the portrait hole towards the Great Hall leaving Harry and Hermione in a reverie.

"Did he just say it was okay?" Hermione asked still a little shocked.

"I think so. Shall we go to breakfast, Ms. Granger?" Harry said extending his arm to her.

"Certainly Mr. Potter." Hermione took his arm and the two headed towards the Great Hall for their first breakfast as a couple.

Hermione was brought back to reality when Harry's lips left hers.

"Hey!" She whined.

"What?" Harry said grinning as he got of her bed and started searching for his clothes among the ones on the floor.

"Where do you think you're going." Hermione questioned.

"I've got to get back up to the dormitories and find Ron." Harry told her as he pulled his pants on. "I promised him I would help him with the Astronomy homework from last night but seeing that we got a little carried away last night I didn't get a chance too." Harry said grinning as he kneeled down on the floor next to Hermione who was propping herself up on her elbow.

"Come on Harry, Ron doesn't need your help, wouldn't you rather stay here with me?" Hermione asked him batting her eyelashes and giving him a sly smile.

"I would love to stay here with you." Harry replied. "But I promised Ron."

"Haaarrry." Hermione whined falling back onto the pillow.

"I promised." Harry told his girlfriend despite her desperate pleas. "But I'll see you at breakfast." He said kissing her cheek and moving towards the door.

"Why must you be so loyal!" Hermione replied.

"Hey! Loyalty is a good quality." Harry said walking to the door.

"Get out of here." Hermione said throwing a pillow at him. She tried to sound angry but instead she ended up laughing.

"I love you." Harry said ducking the pillow and opening the door.

"I love you too." Hermione replied smiling. Harry then left her room to go and find Ron.

Hermione looked at the alarm clock on her bedside table, it read 6:00 am. The dream had woken them up early so Hermione lied back on her bed and tried to fall asleep once more, but her thoughts continued to drift off to her and Harry's relationship. She thought back to the long line of boyfriends she had had before she realized her love for Harry. First there had been Ron in their 5th year, that didn't last long, two weeks to be exact. Ron and Hermione realized right off that they could never be more than just friends so they broke it off early. After Ron had come Chris Hart and she had dated him for a month. Hermione broke up with him because he was a bad kisser. Then there had been Jess Green. He had turned out to be a jerk after the first month and a half. After Jess there was Harrison O'Neal, who was a 6th year at the time, and they had dated 3 months but they broke up because he cheated on her with Cho. Hermione had been really upset over Harrison and that's when Harry came. He comforted her just like a best friend should have and at that time it hit her. She was head over heels, madly in love with her best friend, Harry Potter. She went the whole summer without dating anyone, then 6th year began and they had confessed their love for each other only 2 weeks into it. Until a few weeks ago everything had been going great and she loved Harry with all her heart and soul. She wanted to marry him. She wanted to be his forever, but the reoccurring dream, in which Harry always died, was giving her second thoughts.

'Harry can take care of himself. I have nothing to worry about.' Hermione told herself but she still could not completely shake the thought from her head.

Hermione then got of bed to ready herself for the upcoming day.
