ATTENTION- I have been making the mistake several times now of continually putting up my next chapter twice. I know, I know. I will try to remember to wait for my chapter to be posted instead of putting it up again and again, so I apologize for this slight error and NEXT TIME I will try to think… Sorry. Now, on with the show, thank you for reviewing and not giving up on me. Hang in there please…

Also: Thank you all for giving me your reviews. I know I sometimes make mistakes but this is my first time at the whole fanfiction thing and I'm still getting used to it, please judge my story and not by how poorly my mistakes are… Thank you very much. ;)

Chapter 4-More Than Just Friends.

After a while now Harry was getting quite tired of Hermione beating him at video games and he could tell that she was getting tired of it too. So the two now headed outside to Hermione's underground pool, where they then got ready to jump in…

Hermione carelessly jumped in first, sending small trickles of water at Harry's feet.

"Come on Harry, what's wrong?," Hermione asked curiously.

" I just never learned how to swim and I'm still a bit rusty even though Ron tried to show me a few years back.," Harry replied.

"Just step in the shallow end Harry, you'll be alright," Hermione said softly.

Harry did as he was told and stepped in, feeling the small rushes of water coming towards him as Hermione moved closer.

Harry did have to admit to himself that Hermione looked beautiful in a bathing suit, with beautiful sparkling blue colors. And suddenly, Harry felt wonderful inside as Hermione moved her hand close to Harry's, as she began to guide him through the water.

Soon Hermione noticed Harry looking at her suspiciously and she began to ask him about it, hoping he would give in.

"Harry." She asked.

"Yes Mione?," He replied.

" What's wrong, what are you staring at.," She said calmly.

"Oh, um… I was just…I was thinking about Ron, just Ron.," He said rather nervously.

" Oh right, I Owled him and told him that you were staying over here until we go to Hogwarts, which is tomorrow, by the way Harry, you have dirt on your nose, did you know? It's right there…," Hermione said with her usual Hermione like voice.

Harry immediately began to laugh uncontrollably as he almost went under the water.

"Harry!" Hermione gasped as she tried to set him up. Harry quickly got to the surface though and didn't need much help.

"What may I ask is so funny Mr.Potter!," Hermione barked.

" I'm really sorry Herm, but you sounded so funny like that. I thought you only gave that to Ron." Harry chuckled as they both began to laugh remembering what Hermione had said on their first year on the Hogwarts Express.

Harry now had plenty of confidence to swim now,(not that he really needed any though) and he and Hermione continued to swim with each other in the calm, rolling water, chuckling and giggling about the funny things that had happened to each other the many wonderful years before.

Now it was beginning to get colder, as the evening soon came and Harry and Hermione were now inside; upstairs reading the letter Ron had sent to them while they were swimming earlier. Hermione began to read softly:

Dear Harry and Hermione,

I got your letter Hermione. Looks like Harry needed a break huh… Anyway Harry, I hope you are doing all right. We leave for Hogwarts tomorrow! Our owl is really tired now so I'll have to give her a break. How did you ever sneak out of your house Harry, Blimey! Uncle Vernon couldn't have let you just go. I suppose everything is ok though, so I'll see you tomorrow Harry!

Sancireley,

(Oh Merlin Harry I can't ever spell that right.)

Ron
