Chapter Six: Auror Training Begins
As Ron rushed out of the room, Harry realized for the first time, Hermoine liked him! He liked her! Wow! Suddenly, the door opened slowly. Standing there, was a red eyed Hermoine.
"H-H-Harry?" stammered Hermoine.
"Hello, Hermoine," he said, "You know, you don't have to stand by the door, I won't bite! Really!"
"Oh Harry!" said Hermoine, rushing to his side. Harry held open his arm and Hermoine went into them. As Harry held her, he knew he wanted to be with her forever. He smelled her sweet scent, and took her face in his hands.
"Hermoine, I've been wanting to talk to you." Said Harry.
"About what?" asked Hermoine, pulling away from his gentle touch.
"Well, ever since the end of the school year, I've been having these feelings, feelings I can't explain. We have always been best friends, but suddenly I feel as if I want more. I've been wanting to tell you, but I was scared because I didn't know how you would feel when I would you."
"Oh Harry, I've been having the same feelings for you!" exclaimed Hermoine.
"When I'm around you, Hermoine, I want to be with you forever!"
"Harry James Potter! I love you!" said Hermoine, who went to be beside him again. As Harry's arms opened, Hermoine went, and as they embraced, they knew they wanted to be together forever.
A week after Harry's defeat of Lord Voldemort, Harry was allowed to return to the Weasley's.
That night, Mrs. Weasley cooked up a huge dinner, celebrating the defeat of Voldemort, and Harry's return. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley both insisted on sitting on either side of Harry, so Hermoine sat across from him instead. Somehow, Hermoine noticed, Harry's feet always seemed to find hers, which she didn't mind at all.
"So, Harry, how was fighting Voldemort?" asked Arthur Weasley.
"Well, I don't really remember it," lied Harry, who didn't want to talk about it.
"Well then, how was quidditch practice?" asked Ron.
"It was great! Angus told me I was the best Seeker he had ever seen." Said Harry.
"Wow! You met Angus Chamberlain!" said Ron, in complete awe.
After dinner, Ron, Ginny, Harry, and Hermoine all went upstairs. They all sat in Ron's room, and talked for quite a while.
"Hermoine," said Ron, "We have our first Auror training in a week."
"Ok, thanks, Ron." Said Hermoine.
"That's when I'll go back to quidditch then," said Harry, "But now Hermoine and I are going to go on a walk, if that's alright with you."
"Oh, of course, Mate," said Ron as he winked at Harry. Harry and Hermoine got up, and headed outside.
Once outside, Harry said, "Sorry about that, but Ron was going to talk my ear off!"
"Oh, that's perfectly ok, I've been wanting some time alone with you." Said Hermoine. They walked in silence for a while, until they came to a tree. Harry sat, leaning up against it, and motioned for Hermoine to sit beside him. As she sat, Harry grasped her hand.
"Hermoine, what are your plans for your life?"
"Oh, Harry, I don't know!" said Hermoine.
"Not exact, just in general."
"Well, I suppose after Auror training, I'll move out of Ron's and into my own place. Then, hopefully, get a full time job as an Auror and settle down, have a family."
"I see. Have you ever considered who you will marry?" asked Harry.
"Well, a little," said Hermoine, blushing.
"Would it be so bad if it was me?" asked Harry, smiling.
"Oh, no, that would be wonderful!" exclaimed Hermoine as she flung her arms around him. Harry hugged back, then cradled her face in his hands. They leaned forward for their first kiss. It was gentle at first, but soon, Hermoine parted her lips, and their tongues met for the first time. Soon, Harry kissed harder, and the kiss became more passionate. He learned every curve, every corner, and every crevice of her mouth. Harry began kissing along her jaw line, nibbled on her ears, then headed for her neck. Hermoine let out a slight moan, loving it all.
Soon, it grew dark, forcing them back inside. They emerged in Ron's room, to find it only occupied by Ron. "Ginny went to bed, because, in case you didn't notice, you were gone for two hours!"
"Nope, didn't notice a thing," laughed Harry.
"Hey, you guys, I was thinking.Do you want to share a room?" asked Ron, smiling, "We are adults, so I don't see why you couldn't."
"Only if you're comfortable with it, Hermoine." Said Harry, his eyes full of concern.
"Well, we are adults, so yes, let's share a room!" said Hermoine, excitedly. They all went to Hermoine's room, to gather her things. Since Harry had a big bed, they didn't need to move her bed. After everything was moved, Ron said good night and headed for bed. As Harry and Hermoine got into bed, Harry said,
"We don't have to do anything until you are ready, Hermoine. If you're not comfortable, we won' do it." It was then, on that night, that Hermoine knew for sure she wanted to be with Harry for the rest of her life with Harry Potter. They held each other close for the rest of the night, just like they would do for the rest of their lives.
The next week went by like clockwork, very sweet clockwork, for Hermoine. She had never been happier in her life. She woke up in Harry's arms, spent all day with him, and fell back to sleep in his arms.
Soon, the morning came when Ron and Hermoine had to go to Auror training, and Harry had to go to quidditch practice. "I'll miss you!" said Harry, sweeping Hermoine into his arms, for one last passionate kiss.
"Oh, come on, you two!" said Ron, smiling as he rolled his eyes, "We have to go!"
"I love you!" said Hermoine. Then Poof! She was gone.
As they arrived, they were greeted by a number of older wizards.
The day went very well. They were learning advanced Transfiguration, and of course, Defense Against the Dark Arts.
They arrived back at the Burrow, tired, but excited. They had learned a lot, and were excited to learn more.
At the end of the week, when Harry got home, she and Ron told him all about it. "Wow," said Harry, "I can't wait until my training starts!"
When Harry and Hermoine climbed into bed that night, Harry held her close.
"Training may be good, but nothing is as good as this." Hermoine said. Harry silently agreed as they drifted off to sleep.
As Ron rushed out of the room, Harry realized for the first time, Hermoine liked him! He liked her! Wow! Suddenly, the door opened slowly. Standing there, was a red eyed Hermoine.
"H-H-Harry?" stammered Hermoine.
