Disclaimer: I own nothing as always.

Author's Note: Ok I have had some people tell me that they are getting a little bored with doing the day by day thing, So if you guys want me to start them at Hogwarts after this chapter tell me and I will go by majority. But I you want me to finish out the month then tell me. I will do what you guys want me to. Everyone who reads this story and likes it needs to review and tell me what they want cause I don't want to do something that not everybody had a say in. But keep in mind I wrote this to be pointless fluff.

A special note: I want to thank my beta reader Shelly. She is so amazing! Thank you so much Shelly!

(ah ha ha ha... shelly has an oh so special story she would like to share with the author! this short story is titled: "How I found Your FanFic." heehee ;-)

If it hadn't been for a friend of mine I never would have been able to beta this most wonderful story! *everyone goes awww* Anyway, this certain friend has the most awful habit of calling me up on the phone and not shutting up! The conversation went somewhat like the following:

*after 30 looong minutes)

Shelly: *sigh*

Friend: Are you *BORED*? *gasp*

Shelly: Er...

Friend: Would you like me to read you a bed time story?

Shelly: Er... Fine.

Friend: This is a little graphic, you know... I don't think you can handle it... Shelly: *grins* Bring it on, (name withheld for protection of *innocent*) *friend continues to read me Month at 'Mione's"

So she decided to go read the rest of the story on her own! YAAAY! But I think her friend deserves a little recognition for all that *non* effort, don't you? ;-) she would totally flip if she saw some sort of little recognization to her in your story, she loves your story to pieces!

~Cheers~ -The Beta-

And another special note: The idea of where they go today was given to me by Gora. Thank you so much!

Also I am in the process of writing a new fic. This fic is not the one called December, December is just a one chapter fic! I hope you all read them both!

Kisses!

Day 17

Hermione awoke very startled. She realized that she wasn't in her own bed. She also realized that she was only wearing her black undergarments.

She looked over to where her arm was draped. It was draped over a bare, well built chest. As memories of last night came flooding back to her she couldn't remember what exactly they had done. (beta says - ooooh ;-)

Harry began to stir.

She sat up and pulled the blanket over her.

"Morning love." he said with a smile as he sat up to kiss her softly.

"Harry..." Hermione started after the parted.

"Don't worry 'Mione." he said sweetly, knowing what she was going to say.

"Good." she said, and pushed him back down onto the bed and kissed him long and hard.

She got up and simply said, "I am going to go take my shower now." And walked away.

But before she went out the door she heard Harry say "Tease!"

Hermione went into her room first, put her bathrobe on, walked to the bathroom and started to run the water.

As Harry sat on the bed and wondered what had made them stop last night, he heard the water start up. He realized that she would be coming back in for a while and decided to think of something that they could do today. He thought about it and decided that he wanted to take Hermione somewhere where she could have fun.

He knew she loved horses but she didn't know what other animals she liked. "That's it!" he said to no one "I'll take her to the zoo."

After Hermione got out of the shower, she dried her face and body off and put on her robe. Then she wrapped the towel around her hair, and began to dry it. When she was finished she decided that she wanted to braid her hair today. She parted her hair and braided two pigtails that hung right over her shoulders.

"There." She said and walked over to the door and opened it to be greeted by Harry's face.

"I thought of something we could do today." He said, grinning, obviously pleased that he thought of something they could do.

"Oh yeah? And what might that be, lover boy?" she asked, teasing him some more.

"Well, I thought I would take you to the zoo. I don't know what other animals you like, and what better way to find out then to go to a zoo?" he asked. "

There is no better way, I guess!" she said, laughing. "When do you want to go?" she asked, stepping out of the bathroom and quickly kissing him on the lips. He followed her as she walked into his room and then into hers.

"Whenever you are ready, love." he said simply.

"Ok, then give me a few minutes and we can leave after we get something to eat." She closed the door and started to change. She put on a simple pair of jeans. They were low rise with a black belt that said 'I like boys' over and over again. Her shirt said " Do you believe in love at first sight? Or do I have to walk by again?". She did her makeup and then she was ready. She walked into Harry's room to see him standing by the window. She went over and took his hand.

"Come on, lets go!" She dragged him down stairs to find her mother and father sitting at the table. They sat with them and ate. Then Hermione said.

"Mom, Harry and I are going to the zoo today. We'll see you later."

"Ok dears…have fun." She said with a bright smile. They left the house at about 11:00. When they finally got there it was about 12:00. Hermione found a parking spot and they got out of the car and walked into the zoo.

Hermione looked around to see the surroundings as Harry paid their way in. She saw the old gothic gates with the words ZOO spelled out in big letters while the elephants trunks went up to the letters. She saw little children running around with peanuts falling from their hands as they ran. She saw couples sitting on the benches looking at the animals. And every once in a while she saw a couple walking by her hand in hand, talking or just smiling at each other. Hermione saw the flowers that were planted all around the park that sent a sweet aroma of lilacs in the air. She heard some of the animals and saw some of them from where she stood.

"Hermione." Harry said, snapping her out of her trance. "Come on sweetheart." He said holding out his hand to her. She gladly took it and they walked into the zoo.

She smiled, the sweet scent of lilacs once again but stronger this time. As they walked away from the flowers the smell still lingered in her nose.

"Ok." said Hermione. She looked up and saw a white panther. "Look Harry, it's a white panther." She pointed to it and seemed excited. They walked past some of the other exhibits and came to the reptile house.

"Hermione, do you want to go into the reptile house?" Harry asked unsure if she would want to.

"Of course Harry, you can't go to the zoo and not see the reptiles." she said smiling. Not because of the reptiles, but because of the little snogging session they had behind the lion cage. Harry brought Hermione's hand to his lips and kissed it lightly. They walked into the reptile house. Harry loved reptiles. Partly because he could speak to them. Harry saw the snake.

He dragged Hermione over to it and began to hiss ((well, hissing to Hermione anyway he was really talking though)). Hermione was dying to know what he was saying to the snake. Harry stopped and the snake began. Then Harry hissed one long hiss and pulled Hermione out of the dark reptile house.

"What did you say?" Hermione asked dying to know.

"Just a little normal chit chat between your wonder boy and a snake." he said laughing.

"Oh really? And talking to a snake is perfectly normal?"

"Oh yes everybody is doing it these days. You really should try it sweetheart." They heard a little giggle from behind them.

They turned to see a little girl with blonde hair and huge brown eyes. She had her long shoulder length hair in two tight French braids. She had on a green sweater and a pair of blue jeans.

"Well hello there Hun!" said Hermione friendly.

"Hi!" she said shyly, and giggled again.

"What is so funny dear?" came a voice from behind them. It was her mother, they guessed. She also had blonde hair but hers was down. She looked no more then 23. She had brown eyes and was also wearing a green sweater and jeans.

"He called her sweetheart," she said laughing, "Just like daddy calls you…right mommy?" she asked.

"That's right dear." She said and picked up her daughter. "I'm so sorry." She said softly so her daughter couldn't hear.

"Not a problem." Harry said smiling. They walked some more and decided they should be getting back.

They didn't really want to go to the house yet because it was a beautiful night. The air had a bit of a mist to it. The dew was already on the ground. The sun was not set all the way. And Hermione's hand was in the hand of the boy she loved.

She looked to see where they were walking and realized where they were. They were walking through the park. She could hear nothing but the faint sound of their feet hitting the stone path. She looked up at Harry, her Harry, and saw him staring out into space.

"What's the matter Harry?"

"Nothing, it's just that the month is ending so fast. I want it to be like this forever." he said, smiling at the thought of them being together forever. And he caught her smiling as well.

"I love you Harry." she said, stopping and kissing him as the mist floated around them.

"I love you too." He said as they parted and headed home. Sorry about the wait. But please please please remember to put your vote in your review! Love you all. friendly-mione
