Harry and Hermione piled their things in Hermione's car and got in.
They chatted for a while and stopped to look at the crowds passing by.
They finally reached a gated house with bricks all around. The house had blue panels and shutters and seemed to be about 2 stories.
There was a small garden behind the house and a grove of trees in front of the house.
Hermione knocked on the door which was opened by her mom who wore a happy expression to see both of them.
" Oh you must be Harry!" Mrs. Granger said taking Harry's hand in hers and showing him inside.
After she closed the door Harry had a first look of Hermione's house. It was really cozy with a fire place and ornaments for decoration and awards up. Photos were visible on the walls. There were many plants also.
" If you need anything I am in the kitchen cooking dinner. Hermione an owl came for you. Your father will be coming in a short while", she said and with one smile she left into the kitchen
There was a silence, " So do you want me to show you your room?"
" Sure!" Harry said and they both started up the flights of steps.
Hermione led Harry down corridors after corridors, until she reached a door and she pushed it open revealing a rather large room with blue walls and linen curtains.
" It's nice", Harry said.
" There is a balcony over here too", Hermione said.
Hermione tried to open the door after pushing the curtains aside yet it wouldn't budge. " It's stuck!" hermione yelled exhausted. She was putting all her energy which was wasted trying to open the door.
Soon enough Harry came to help her and the door was opened revealing a beautiful view of a leak surrounded by beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers.
Harry just gaped and Hermione giggled.
" It's beautiful!" Harry said mesmerized by the beauty in front of him.
" Yeah it is!" Hermione said. " Harry do you want to go to my room and find something to do?"
" Sure! What about that letter your mom said you received?" Harry asked.
" OH!" Hermione gasped and ran from the room with a panting Harry behind her.
Harry reached her room and opened the door to find a beautiful room with purple walls. it also had a balcony. He saw Hermione tearing a letter. He also saw Hedwig with a letter. She was gone for about 2 days. Harry grabbed Hedwig's letter which was from Hogwarts. He opened it and read it. He could almost scream with joy! Harry Potter was made a prefect!
" Hermione I am a prefect!" Harry yelled.
" Me too!" Hermione shouted back.
They both jumped into an embrace and were so happy.
Harry and Hermione played chess until Hermione's mom shouted, "Hermione, Harry come down for dinner!"
They came down stairs laughing.
When Harry met Mr. Granger he thought somebody very proper who would tell him to fix his hair. Yet he was something he never expected. He was a suited man but was very free-talking with Harry. Instead of shaking hands he patted Harry's back.
" Hello, you must be the Harry Potter Hermione always talks about", he said grinning broadly turning to Hermione who was blushing furiously.
" Nice to meet you Mr. Granger", Harry said.
" You are a handsome fellow, isn't he Kathryn?" Mr. Granger asked turning to his wife who had come in.
" Oh yes he is a gem", Mrs. Granger said.
Harry blushed a bit as they laughed.
" HMM, humble too", Mr. Granger said.
Mrs. Granger had set up the table which seemed to be piled with food. Salads and Chicken Pasta, Casserole, a rice Pilafs and a plate of delicious looking ribs.
" Let's eat", Mr. Granger said and raised up his wine glass for a toast.
" To our guest", Mr. Granger said softly.
They ate chatting here and then.
Hermione cleared her throat. She got everyone's attention.
" Harry and I have an announcement to make. Harry would you like to do the honors?" Hermione nodded her head knowingly at Harry and he understood.
The Grangers turned their heads towards Harry.
" Hermione and I have become prefects!" Harry boomed happily into the silence.
Mr. and Mrs. Grangers got up and congratulated both of them by hugging them on their accomplishments.
" I wonder if Ron will be a prefect..
no only one boy and girl from each house", Harry sighed then he was happy because he knew he should be content on this happy moment.
The Grangers had received him openly as a family member.
" Now I think we should all watch a movie and eat the dessert I have made then go to bed", Mrs. Granger beamed happily at Harry and Hermione and almost skipped to the kitchen retrieving a huge mouthwatering choc late cake topped with whip cream and icing.
It said- " Welcome Harry"
Harry was almost sure he had tears in his eyes. he wiped them away and looked up at the Grangers. Now he had a family to trust in.
Harry Potter for once in his life was happy for being who he was and he sat happily with the Grangers, this is how his parents would have wanted him, happy.
They watched Three Stooges that made them laugh so much that Hermione's cake spilt on Harry's shirt.
" Harry I am so sorry", Hermione said over and over, she got a napkin and started to rub the part which she dropped the sweet on which was his chest. "It won't come off", Hermione started to get frustrated and started to rub harder which caused Harry to yelp and 'oww'.
" Sorry Harry", Hermione said sheepishly.
" Hermione, is it not coming off", Mrs. Granger peered over to them from the kitchen.
" No mum", Hermione said worriedly.
" Harry take off your shirt and put it into the washing machine."
Harry was flustered. Why were they taking a shirt so seriously- it was just a shirt! The a word came up to his head...............women!
He pulled his shirt off and followed Hermione to the laundry room.
When Harry pulled his shirt off to revealing a muscular abdomen and strong biceps.
Hermione just stared at his broad shoulders. His muscles flexed as he pulled it off.
Hermione was shocked by him that she couldn't stop staring all the way to the Laundry room.
Harry put his shirt in the machine and Hermione put some detergent and turned it on. Harry turned to Hermione.
" Let's go", Harry said softly.
Hermione led Harry back upstairs. She was heading for her room with Harry following closely behind.
She turned abruptly as she reached her door to Harry.
He didn't have a shirt on which made a shiver run down her spine.
" Hermione this was the best night of my life! Thank you. I have never been welcomed anywhere like this besides your family and Ron's." Harry said with a tear rolling down his cheek.
Hermione came up to him and wiped his tear away with her hand and kissed hi cheek softly.
Warmth flooded through Harry as she did so.
Hermione could feel his soft skin against her lips and she moved away.
" Good night Harry", Hermione said and went into her room.
" Goodnight Hermione", Harry said rather drowsily and went to the door across her room and opened it. He sat on his bed thinking over the day's events. He had been welcomed in the Granger's house as a son. He drifted off into a peaceful sleep amongst his thoughts. Harry Potter for a rare time in his life felt happy and content and most of all he felt loved.
They chatted for a while and stopped to look at the crowds passing by.
