The Promise-11-All
It Seems Like Yesterday


Harry

-Damn- Harry thought -It's 10:30 a.m., 1 and a half hours till they arrive -If they arrive.- Harry kept pacing around his classroom when he remembered the next class started in 10 minutes. It was 7 year Gryffindors and Ravenclaws and they were going to learn the patronus charm.

The class began filing in 2 minutes before the bell rang.

"Good Morning class!" Harry looked around the room. These were his favorites. The only class that didn't know him when he began teaching. "Today we will be practicing a highly difficult charm. The Patronus Charm. The Patronus Charm drives away a Dementor. Now for example..." Harry pulled his wand out of his robes and pointed it to nowhere in particular. "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" suddenly a bright silver stag came out of the tip of his wand and ran across around the classroom and back to Harry where it vanished. The students all clapped. "Now you all won't conjure patronuses as well as that but you might get some wisps of smoke. What you need to do is think of an extremely happy memory and hold onto that. Then say the incantation, 'expecto patronum' If at least half the class get little wisps of smoke there will be a little surprise next class." The class immediately began working on making a little puff of smoke. -All I need to do is find a Bogart and hope that my worst fear is still a dementor.-

By the end of the class 9 of the 16 in the class got at least a little wisp of smoke. "A promise is a promise!" He flinched at what he said. "I'll see you next Wednesday with a surprise!" When they left Harry looked at the clock - 11:20, 40 minutes to go.- Harry had no more classes for the day so he went to his room to get changed.

Ron

-Should I leave now? I only have 40 minutes to go.- Ron was pacing in front of the fireplace wand in hand. "Ronnie dear, please stop pacing. Come and sit next to me and wait a little. Ron nodded and sat next to his wife. "I have a doctors appointment in a week will you be home?" Ron shrugged "I don't know...what's wrong? Are you sick?" Ron suddenly got worried. "Because if you are I'll stay home and help you get through it." Hannah was outraged. "Ronald August Weasly you stop making excuses and march your redheaded ass into that fireplace and save the worlds." With that she stood, lit the fire and picked up the flower pot with Floo powder in it. -Well it's always good to be 20 minute early.- He kissed his wife and took some floo powder, threw it in the fire saying, "Hogwarts; Headmasters office." When he disappeared Hannah sat on the couch. "The sooner you leave, the sooner you come back to me."

Hermione

As soon as she was finished dressing she ooked at herself in the full length mirror. She didn't say emotionless and the robe was a very interesting color. The neck line and sleeves were a deep gray. From her chest to her waist was a bright orange and the rest was a beautiful periwinkle blue. She nodded and looked at her hair. She put it in 2 French braids to keep it off her face. She looked at the clock, "Shit!!" she had ten minutes to get to Hogwarts. "Bye Sirius!" she yelled not waiting for a reply. She walked to the Hogsmead station where the horseless carriages used to be. She was glad to see they were still their. She got in one and to was the most nervracking 2 minutes of her life. She walked to the castle. -Here we go...- she thought as she opened the doors.

All

Harry was sitting on his chair starring at the clock. 11:59...12:00. He stood and walked out the door with his head down. Ron was walking that was also. Not looking where he was going. Hermione was nervous and kept looking around her when all of a sudden. BAM (of course you didn't see that coming now did you?) Harry go hit on both sides, Hermione slammed into someone, same with Ron. "Sorry." They all said at the same time. Hermione looked up to see who she ran into. Harry. Her robe suddenly turned purple with green around the bottom edge and around the bottom of the sleeves. No one noticed. Harry took a step back so he could look at them. "hi." They all said together again and it made them laugh nervously. Ron kept looking at Hermione. -She look's as beautiful as ever...SHUT UP ASSHOLE YOU GOT A WIFE!!- Harry noticed that they were still in the hall. "Come on, lets go into my office." They nodded and followed him in.

~*~Flashback*~*

It's been 2 months since their "accidental" kiss. Harry's been calling Hermione Mione, and Hermione's been calling Harry, Ree and Ron's been getting suspicious and jealous. Harry (a 7th year Prefect) had prefect duty. He just finished checking all the closets in the Charms corridor when Hermione (Head girl but who didn't know that?) walked up the corridor. Harry smiled, "Looking for someone Mione?" She smiled, "Yes infact I want to tell you something." He nodded , "just one more place to check. Tonight I'm supposed to check all the closets and towers for, as McGonagal called it, 'Improper displays of affection'." He grinned, "All I have to check is the tallest tower, remember it?" She smiled, "Like yesterday. Come on Ree, let's go I'll tell you when we get there." They started walking close enough for their shoulders to touch "accidentally". Unaware that there was someone following them.

By the time they got there, somehow they were holding hands. They dropped them quickly. Harry checked in all the usual places but nobody was there. "So, what's up?" Harry said casually. The last time she had to 'tell him something' she said she's fallen for his best friend. He didn't know if he could take something like that again. "You she there's this guy..." -Shit- was all he could think. "I think I've fallen for him...hard." He grinned trying not to show his emotions. "must have hurt." She glared, "Ha ha, very funny...anyway how do I tell him?" She looked at him intently -If he only knew it were him- "Well, just tell him. Be like 'I think I like you' I'm sure he feels the same." -what idiot would turn her down?- she smiled. "Ree?" "Hmmm?" "I...what I mean is...I think, no I KNOW that I like you."


Whew!!!! I know that that might not seem to long to you but it's freezing here in Cleveland and my fingers are frozen and hurting....that'll have to do. Next chapter the fight. Although I think it's the worst chapter in the whole story but...hey at least it will be here in a day or two...if I can remember
