Life
Harry was lying in bed. Tomorrow would be Hermione's birthday. He hoped she liked his gift. What was he worrying about? Of course she will like it you git a voice in the back of his head said. Then his thoughts returned to the rest of the summer between the third and fourth grade. He himself had spent a lot of time learning to cloud his mind so Hermione wouldn't pick something up he didn't want her to know. The rest of the time, that he wasn't doing anything else, he spent trying to figure out just what the angel had done to him. He could make people feel better just by smiling at them. He could heal cuts and slashes with just a pass of his hand over the wound.
***********************************************************************
Harry was floating on an old broom Sirius had given him. Flying always helped him think. Right now he was floating five feet off the ground. Mike and Kate had started 'going out' so while they were spending time together Harry and Hermione were free to do any magical thing Sirius would allow them to do. Harry personally could wait to turn fourteen, which is when Sirius offered to teach him to become an animagi. Hermione showed interest in the offer also so Sirius would teach them both when they were old enough.
Harry was floating, balancing with his back to the broom facing the sky, when Hermione came out to tell him something. She was excited, and therefore, Harry knew what she wanted to tell him before she even made it out of the door.
"Harry!" she cried, "Harry, I found this really."
"That's really cool Hermione" Harry said slightly amused. "To bad we can't use spells yet."
"I mentally shouted again, didn't I?" said Hermione looking slightly less excited.
"Yeah, but it is a quick way to pass information," said Harry smiling.
Hermione laughed "Yeah, that's true."
"I hope Remus visits again," said Harry. Remus had left a week after the fourth grade had started for them.
"Yeah, me too" she replied, "I'm running out of books and he had some really good ones."
"You read through Sirius' collection twice, you know, you should take a break," said Harry.
"Oh, and what do you suggest I do?" she asked slyly.
Harry grinned, straightened himself on the broom, scooped Hermione up, and was off flying high above the ground. "Harry, put me down this instant!" Hermione screeched. This was not what she had in mind "What if any muggles see us."
Harry, after ten minuets of Hermione pleads to land, landed right where he had taken off. Hermione was mad at him for a few hours after that. He eventually said he was sorry, with his fingers crossed behind his back of course, and she became happy again.
***********************************************************************
Harry was reading a muggle book, labeled The Sword of Shannara. He was thinking how useful that sword, that could show the truth about anything, would be. Then he thought of some potions he had read about. They would make the drinker unable to lie, and the stronger ones would make them spill out their deepest secrets.
While he was in mid-thought Hermione burst in his room. He was surprised her mind hadn't spilled the fact that she was coming to talk to him. She smiled at him. "Seeeeeee," she said proudly, "I told you I would learn to hold my thoughts."
Harry smiled at her, "I was wondering when you would figure it out," he said slyly. She looked very upset. "Sorry, I actually am very surprised" he said quickly, and in a very nervous tone. She smiled again, half grinning.
"Are you, The Harry Potter, afraid of my, little Hermione Granger's, wraith" she said slightly amused.
"Oh yes, certainly," replied Harry smiling "little Hermione has her vicious side, and that can be worse than a death eater any day."
"Harry!" She screeched stuttering with anger, making Harry flinch "h- how d-dare y-y-you!"
"Sorry Hermione," Harry said very sincerely. Then he smiled again "just trying to make a point. If you could have seen you face, well you would have been thinking the same thing I am right now."
"Oh, and what's that," she asked, still a little harsh, but with curiosity in her voice. Since he had his mind clouded she couldn't read it.
Harry got up and made his way to the door and said, very quickly before sprinting down stairs, "Run." She chased after him, leaping on him from several steps up.
"Got ya!" She yelled, and to aggravate him even more she pinned down, bent down less than two inches from his face, so she was looking right into those bright, emerald eyes, and.
Stared to tickle him. Sirius heard Harry begging for Hermione to stop doing something. He peeked in the living room that the stairs opened up to. He saw Hermione had Harry pinned down and was tickling him. He was starting to retaliate however and soon they were both laughing hard. They stopped soon and just laid on the floor next to each other. They looked as though they were having a conversation, without speaking. Sirius thought this weird but then another thought popped into to his head. He smiled; they reminded him of a couple friends he had once.
**********************************************************************
'Christmas vacation, what a great time,' thought Harry. He was lying on the couch, gazing at the fire. He was just about to think that it wouldn't be today, when, poof, Remus appeared there. "There you are" said Harry, "I was beginning to think you weren't coming today."
"I would never miss a Christmas here," he said smiling "at home."
He stayed 'til the day after New Years, and helped Harry and Hermione learn more about magical creatures that he had encountered. When Mike and/or Kate heard these stories Remus treated them like, well, stories.
When he left school picked back up and Mike and Kate were no closer to knowing anything about the world in which Harry was famous.
**********************************************************************
Harry was sitting at the table, eating part of a soccer ball sized grapefruit, when Hermione's voice rang in his head. 'We, that is me, Mike, and Kate, are coming over.'
Harry looked around making sure everything was of muggle appearance, before letting the words, 'Okay, you all can come,' form in his mind. He hoped Hermione would pick them up.
'We'll be there soon,' He heard. Now he set off to finish another part of the gigantic grapefruit. He smiled as he thought, 'this will be an interesting day'. 'Yeah', he hadn't expected her to still be listening but he smiled again.
**********************************************************************
When they showed up, prank number one began. Hermione busted though the door, knowing that to spend more than a moment in the doorway would not be good. She ran into Harry giving him a hug before turning back to see, well, Mike and Kate walking through the door. 'Perfect' she thought.
"Yeah," said Harry as the trap was set off. They, Mike and Kate, (duh) were looking at each other smiling when it happened. A bucket of water tipped over, and splashed down onto them.
"Ahhhhh" was the first and only sound to come out of their mouths. Then the second prank began. Hermione rushed up to both of them and gave them towels. As they were about to say something else, two cans of shaving cream were manned by Harry. They were both covered, and glaring at Hermione and Harry, when the cans went dead.
"What" said Hermione innocently "all I did was give you towels. Harry set all this up." She turned around and grinned at Harry. Mike and Kate both took and put most of the shaving cream in the towels and made toward Harry, ready to cover him. He gave a quick glare and a look that said I'm going to get you for this, before turning and running through the kitchen and out the back door.
***********************************************************************
Later, after Harry was completely cover in the same substance he had been previously wielding, He sought out Hermione. He found her up in his room reading a muggle book. "Harry." she began. "I-I-I'm sooooo sorry," she said, trying to look sincere, but the hint of a smile on her face gave her away.
Harry just smiled, but when she looked in his eyes, she could tell she was in for it. "Hermione" he said, sounding calm, "There is, something I wish to give you." at that he smiled, very mischievously. She stood up slowly, looking around for an escape rout, when he did it. He rushed up and gave her a big hug. She would've hugged him back if he hadn't been covered in shaving cream.
"Harry, let me go!" she screeched, flailing around, and slipping out of his loose grip. She tried to run for the door but Harry tacked her and started to tickle her furiously. After a minute of begging Harry decided she'd had enough. "Harry!" she yelled "you are so inconsiderate, this is the shirt my grandma gave me, now look at it!"
"Calm down, come with me" he said putting his arm on her shoulder, only to be slapped.
"Don't you touch me Harry Potter!" She yelled.
"O-okay" he stuttered, feeling very unwelcome, in his own room. "Just follow me," He said, "Sirius can fix yer shirt." At this her eyes brightened, which he was happy about, but at the same time they filled with tears.
'I'm so sorry' she mentally said. 'So sorry.'
"It Okay," said Harry, who was now holding her, "I made a mistake."
'No' he heard 'you were just trying to have fun.'
"Sometimes though," said Harry, "There are more important things than fun." With this he led her down stairs. Sirius cleaned her and Harry up with a couple on quick spells, and sent them on their way. He saw that Hermione looked like she had been crying but it looked like Harry had calmed her down. So he didn't pry.
The rest of the day they spent playing more pranks on each other. April fools day was really fun sometimes.
************************************************************************
Harry decided to get some sleep. (I desperately need it) He rolled over giving his sleeping wife a peck on the cheek, before slipping of into dreamland.
************************************************************************
I haven't done a lot with them at school. Do you think I should? R&R and tell me whether or not I should. Thanks to all my reviewers including Miss Cleo. You're welcome coconut-ice agent h/h.
