Day 16

It was still raining outside when Hermione awoke. She was so upset that they didn't get to go in the hot tub the night before. But she loved the run in the rain. Hermione got up, put a robe over her black nightgown and walked to the balcony sliding door. She pulled back the long drapes and stared out into the rain. Harry was waking up in the other room ((A/N slowly waking but it's the best I can do)) He silently got up and walked over to the door to Hermione's room.

He stood in silence watching her face light up with every streak of lighting that sparkled outside. She looked beautiful to him. Her hair had a slight wave to it because it was wet when she went to sleep, and her robe was cut off at her mid thigh with her black nightgown underneath. He walked over to her and put his arms gingerly around her waist, and kissed the exposed skin of her shoulder. As he kissed her a bolt of lighting shot in the air and lit up her face as she closed her hands around his arms that lay on her waist.

Meanwhile, Downstairs…

Mrs. Granger looked outside as the lighting struck, then back down at her newspaper. She turned to last weather section in the paper, and it said that the storm would clear up by late afternoon with mild winds. Then she looked down underneath the weather and saw an ad…

It read: Russian Ballet comes to England!

Order tickets now! We have very few left!

Today is the last day!

The show is tonight!

555-9685

"I like these wizards papers…much better then ours." She said. She picked up the phone and dialed the number in the paper.

"Yes, I would like two tickets please…balcony…yes that would be fine…the seats will be under Potter…nice day to you too." She said and hung up the phone. "The things I do for my little girl."

She got up and went over to the stairs. She opened her mouth to yell up to Hermione but thought that Harry might still be asleep and decided not to. She walked up the stairs and stopped at Hermione's doorway to see Harry with his arms around her, his chin no resting on her shoulder. She stood and watched for a few moments just smiling until she remembered what she had come upstairs for.

"Hermione dear," she said holding out the paper "I bought you and Harry tickets to the ballet tonight. I hope you don't mind." She said smiling as she saw how her daughters face lit up.

"Thank you." Harry said smiling somewhat.

"Mom you're the best!"

"I didn't know you liked ballet 'Mione." Harry said looking surprised.

"I love it… I used to take ballet for about 9 or 10 years…I had to quit when school started."

"Afraid of clowns…a horseback rider…a ballerina …is there anything you don't do?"

"Fly." She said sadly and simply.

'I can change that.' Harry thought to himself.

"Well, I'll leave you to decide what you are going to wear tonight." She said, walking out of the room.

Hermione went right over to her closet after pushing Harry out of the room. All he could hear through the door that she closed was her saying things like "What am I going to wear? Or Harry won't like that one." So he decided to get what he was going to wear and think of something that he could do to make Hermione fly.

Harry got out a quill, some ink and a piece of parchment, and began to form some sort of a plan.

Meanwhile, in Hermione's room…

A baby blue dress went flying across the room followed by a blue one, then by the black one she bought for her parent's office party.

"Nothing to wear!" she screamed. Then a pair of black strap less high heels went flying by. After the shoes landed she saw it. The dress she would wear.

"Perfect, I was looking for an excuse to wear this dress!" she yelled, turned around, but her smile faded when she saw her room. "Whoops. I think I got a little carried away." She said and started hanging things back up in her closet.

She sat down at her vanity and looked at her dress. It was a thin strapped dress. It went down to her mid thigh and it was a maroon. It was tight at the top and it got a little looser as it went down.

"Shoes, shoes, shoes!" she whispered as she looked at her closet. She walked over to her closet and got on her hands and knees and started going through her shoes. She found her red strapless sandals and figured that they would be perfect.

Back in Harry's Room: Harry looked out the window in his room and saw that the storm was slowing down. He got up and went over to the bookshelf that was in his room. He looked over the many books that were on it and smiled. "Hermione loves to read…and so do her parents, apparently." He looked down at the clock and saw that it said 1:00. He went downstairs to see what time the ballet started.

Harry discovered that the ballet started at 7:30 but he wanted to take Hermione out to eat first so he decided that he should tell her when she needed to be ready. If he didn't she would probably kill him. He walked up the stairs to find Hermione sitting in her closet putting a pair of red shoes on.

"Hermione, what are you doing?" he asked smiling.

"Trying to find a pair of shoes to match my dress."

"Well I just wanted to let you know that we will be leaving around six o'clock. I wanted to take you to dinner before the ballet starts." He said walking over and kneeling down beside her. He kissed her forehead and then he moved to her jaw and from there he gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

"Tease." She said,

"I thought you were supposed to be the tease." She opened her mouth to speak but he got up and walked out of the room.

Hermione began to get ready as did Harry. Harry got into the shower and Hermione tried to figure out what to do with her hair. She finally decided and finished getting ready.

Harry was ready and waiting in the living room at 5:45. Hermione was just doing some finishing touches to her make-up and putting on the necklace that Harry gave her. She looked beautiful to Harry as she was walking down the stairs. She was wearing the red dress with her matching red shoes and her hair was up in a loose bun with curls falling out and the necklace he gave her to top it off.

"You look wonderful." He said as she got off the stairs and walked over to him.

"Thank you, love." She said as she kissed him. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Sorry guys I am not going to write about the ballet…or the dinner I am going to skip to the part where they get home…but to make it up to you they are going to…just read it and you will see. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry and Hermione walked through the door at 10:00. Hermione was telling Harry how much she loved the ballet.

"Harry, did you see that women's turns? They were amazing." He just nodded and led her upstairs. They went into Harry's room and sat down on the bed.

He leaned over to her and started to kiss her neck. She just giggled and he moved to her shoulder then back to the sensitive spot on her neck. ((A/N: have any of you girls noticed that guys and I mean all guys know when and how to do that! Sorry back to the story))

She pulled away from him and got up. She walked silently to the door. Harry thought she was going to leave. But instead she closed the door. She walked back over and pushed him down on the bed and straddled her legs over top of him. Then she started kissing him. Hermione and Harry wound up falling asleep sometime that night but neither of them knew when. They were in bliss when they fell asleep
