Why Didn't I See It?

Chapter 8~ More Secrets

"Well I will go call Anders and see if he wants to come with us. Harry are you going to come with me?" she said giving Harry an 'I need to talk to you alone' look. "And Sarah you can bring your things and get settled in." Harry walked in after Hermione followed by Sarah. He had no idea that Sarah was thinking exactly what he had been dreading, 'damn he's hot I wonder if he's with anyone, hope it's not Hermione, wouldn't want to ruin our relationship before it even started by crushing on her boyfriend.'

Hermione took Sarah up to her room while Harry waited downstairs for Hermione to see what she wanted to tell him. It was ten minutes before she came down wearing a blue Tommy Girl shirt and blue hip huggers, and her hair was in a ponytail. "Come in here." She said and lead him into the study.

"Did you notice something funny about the way Sarah was looking at me?" Harry asked.

"Yes that's Why I wanted to talk to you." Hermione started, "I wanted to tell you something."

"Yes."

"I wanted to tell you that I..."

"What Hermione just say it."

"Well Harry I don't want you to be freaked out but."

"Come on Hermione, you can tell me anything."

"I, I, I, Iloveyou!"

"What? English please and slow down."

"I love you."

"You do?!"

"I knew this would happen. You only like me as a friend right?"

"No Hermione. I love you to. I have since that first day on the train, I was just scared you didn't feel the same way!"

"You have? Oh Harry" she ran over to him and hugged him, Harry turned her face towards his and kissed her right on the lips. They were so soft and tender he thought.

"I've been wanting to do that for five long years!" he said quietly, for they had just heard Sarah calling from upstairs.

"I'll be up in a sec Sarah." Hermione called. When she turned back around Harry had a rose in his hand and was down on one knee!

"I just want to make it official," he started, " Hermione Naomi Granger will you be my girlfriend!!"

"Of course I will!" she said and kissed him on the cheek. "but we better get out of here before Sarah realizes we're here. Harry you know she fancies you. I can tell."

"Oh really I hadn't noticed." He said sarcastically. "well we just won't say anything unless she asks."

"Ok well I have to go see what she needs then call Anders and Caitlin." "Who's Caitlin?"

"Oh she's my best muggle friend, but don't worry you are still #1."

After Hermione called Caitlin and Anders. They all piled into the car with Harry in the drivers seat Hermione in the passenger seat and Sarah, Caitlin, and Anders in the back. Caitlin was a average height, girl with shoulder length brown hair and hazel eyes. Anders was a fairly tall boy who was defiantly a punk, he had black shaggy hair but you could tell that it was naturally blonde, he had blue eyes and was cute and totally adorable according to all the girls in the car even Hermione. He was wearing a black Zummies shirt and a pink checkered button down over it witch had patches pinned all over it the largest one on the back read "PUNKS NOT DEAD!!". Anders and Caitlin went to a school outside of Yorkshire. Little did Hermione know, they had a secret to tell her and decided that today was the day to tell her.

When they got to the movie theater Anders and Caitlin said in unison "Hermione can we talk to you for a minute?"

"Yeah sure. What's up?" she replied suspiciously.

"Come over here,"~Anders

"We wanted to tell you this before school starts"~Caitlin

"We are coming to your school."~Anders

"What, you can't I mean unless you are, but no you can't be, are you?"~Hermione.

They nodded their heads. At first Hermione was shocked but then she broke out into a smile and said "I knew it! I knew it all along!" and rushed over to give them both a big hug.

"Can we talk about magic in front of Harry and Sarah?" Anders asked.

"Duh, Anders! Harry is the boy who lived! You are so blonde!" they all broke out laughing when Caitlin said this cause Anders had blonde roots showing out under his black hair.

"Yeah and Sarah is a witch too!" added Hermione.

When she walked out from behind the corner she didn't believe her eyes. A tall red headed boy was getting out of a bright red sports car. He had sunglasses and a hat on so you could barley tell who it was. Until, "RON!!" Caitlin screamed as she ran over to him and jumped into his outstretched arms while he kissed her. But Hermione had her eyes on something else.
