Chapter 2: Hermione's House



Harry put Hedwig in her cage and went down stairs with Dumbledore. He threw a pinch of flu powder into the fire place, picked up his trunk and Hedwig and said Hermione's house. He was spinning fast with his elbows tucked in. One minute later he arrived at Hermione's house. When he stepped out of the fire place he noticed Hermione was crying. He walked over to her and asked her what was wrong. She stopped crying long enough for Harry to hear what she was saying. She said "Harry my parents have been killed by Voldemort". Harry didn't think this was the best time to tell her his feelings so he gave her a big hug. After he had done so Dumbledore aperated in front of Harry and told them to be quiet. They were and then they heard an upstairs window open and close for no reason. They sat very still. Then he appeared. Harry and Hermione screamed and flipped over the couch. Harry had Hermione in a tight squeeze to protect her from whatever it was. Dumbledore walked calmly around the couch and explained what it was "it was only peeves" he said in a highly amused voice at the sight of Harry and Hermione who were squeezing each other tightly. When they heard Dumbledore speak they felt extremely embarrassed at their behavior. They let go of each other almost instantly. Hermione showed Harry to his room and while he was unpacking he asked Hermione what she had wanted to tell him. She sat down and gestured for Harry to do the same. He looked at her quizzically. She said "Harry I, I, I, ------- I love you". Harry was looking very stunned at these words then said "I love you too". After he said this they started kissing a lot. 10 minutes later Dumbledore walked into the room with something in his hand. He asked Harry if he was done unpacking. He was so Dumbledore gave him the package. Harry opened it rather quickly and was surprised at what he saw. There was a necklace that said Lily Evans, and there was a chain that said James Potter. Harry looked at Dumbledore with tears in his eyes. Dumbledore said that he was supposed to give the necklace to the person he loved, and he was to keep the chain. He instantly gave the necklace to Hermione. She slipped it over her head and kissed Harry. When they pulled apart Hermione's necklace said Hermione Granger instead of Lily Evans. Harry's necklace said Harry Potter instead of James Potter. (Not that it makes much difference LOL)
