Someone Worth Living For- Chapter Two
~*~~*~
Harry was the last to wake up the next morning. The sun was already high in the sky when Harry dragged himself downstairs to the kitchen. Ron and Hermione were sitting at the kitchen table.
"Morning Harry!" both of them exclaimed in unison. "Morning Guys!" Harry muttered back before pulling out a wooden chair. Harry realized he was famished, and quickly reached for the bowl full of cheesy grits. As the three were chatting, Sirius walked in and made an announcement.
"Okay. I have to go to a meeting, so I'll be gone for the day. I'll put a wall around the house. So, ya'll will be safe. Have fun, and I'll be back tonight." With that said, he apparated.
"Wow! A whole day to ourselves!" shouted Ron. Hermione giggled; Ron had grits hanging from his chin. After he wiped his face, he asked, "Harry, what happened last night? You scared me; you woke up screaming. Was it about Voldemort?"
"Yes, Ron," Harry replied. "It was horrible. Hermione was..." Hermione interrupted him.
"I really don't want to hear the gruesome details of the dream. Let's play a game of Exploding Snaps!"
The boys agreed and they started playing. After a noisy and exciting game, Ron excused himself and went upstairs, leaving Harry and Hermione alone.
"Harry?"
"Yes, Hermione?"
"Well...I just wanted to thank you for, well, rescuing me. I thought I wasn't going to make it out of that cave. You were so brave, Harry. But how did you know I was there in the first place?"
"It was a feeling, a connection I guess. I woke up in the middle of the night, sensed where you were, and went there. I guess it was the bracelet."
Hermione got up from the chair and sat down next to Harry. "I'm glad you did sense where I was. Otherwise, I might not be..." she trailed off, unable to finish. Tears started to form. Harry put his arm around her and brought her close to him, her head leaning on his arm. "Don't even think those thoughts, Hermi. It doesn't matter what could have happened, because now it won't happen. Don' worry, I'll protect you."
Hermione just lay there in silence. Harry comforted her by rubbing her shoulder. After a while, Ron came marching down. He looked at the two sitting on the couch and smiled. *It's about time,* Ron thought.
~*~~*~
The rest off the day the trio just relaxed and watched scary movies. When things jumped out, Hermione buried her face on Harry's shoulder in fear. As the credits of the final movie were ending, Sirius walked through the door.
"How was your day?" Sirius asked the very freaked out teens. Ron gave him a brief synopsis of the afternoon. Hermione decided to start dinner. Harry challenged Ron to a game of Wizard's Chess. Even though it was a pretty even match, Ron pulled off the win.
"Who's the greatest player of all times?" Ron asked. "RON!" he hollered, replying to himself. Hermione smiled at him and called everyone to dinner.
"Wow, Hermi, this is wonderful. Where'd you learn how to cook like this?" Ron asked as he reached for seconds.
"Oh, my mom taught me how. This is a simple recipe; muggles eat it everyday," she answered him.
When the bowls were licked clean, and the table was cleared, the trio decided to go up to their rooms and write some letters. Hermione started writing one to her mother, assuring her that she was alright. Harry and Ron wrote Mrs. Weasley and Ginny, Ron's little sister, telling her that they had found Hermione. After the letters were complete, Harry tied Hermione's to Hedwig and his to Pig and sent them out the window into the cool night sky.
Hermione left to go to the bathroom to freshen up. Just as Harry lay down on his comfy twin bed, Ron came over and bounced on it.
"Man, Harry, I didn't know you were that serious with Hermione. I mean, I thought you liked her, but not THAT much. Why don't you tell me these things. Maybe then I won't be in the dark when the time comes around." Harry smiled. He knew Ron was just teasing him.
"Well, personally I thought it was pretty obvious," Harry replied jokingly. Hermione joined them in the room, and they began chatting about school and classes. After a while, Harry stood. "I need to get a bit of fresh air. I'll be back in a second." Harry opened the bedroom door, stepped out into the hall, and quietly closed it behind him. After a few minutes, Ron nudged Hermione, implying that she follow him. Getting the clue, Hermione exited the room and went outside on the back porch. She spotted Harry leaning against the railing and walked over to him.
"Look at the moon, Harry. Isn't it beautiful?"
"Not as beautiful as your eyes."
"Oh, Harry..."
Hermione leaned close to Harry, and he placed his arm around her and drew her close. For a while, they just stood next to each other in silence. Finally, Harry spoke.
"Hermi?"
"Yea?"
"I don't want this moment to end."
"Me neither. Standing in your arms makes me feel safe, like nothing can happen to me." She looked up into his emerald green eyes. He looked back into soft amber eyes. Then, he slowly moved his lips to hers, and kissed her. Suddenly, a movement in the nearby bushes causes them both to break away. Hermione's face turns pale in fear. Harry puts his arms around her, comforting her, as they hear footsteps coming toward them.
