Chapter 2
How It All Happened
(Hermione is remembering…)
Harry Potter and I. Well, Harry is my best friend and I love him to death. I didn't think in the past that Harry would be as the romantic people say "my one true love". But Harry and I, we're like bread and butter, we go together in a perfect harmony. I can still remember the day our love unfurled; it was the most amazing day, beautiful day…
"HARRY JAMES POTTER!" I screamed, Harry opened a water bottle and poured the water over my head while my back was turned!
Harry laughed, it was his 16th birthday and the Weasleys thought that a party should be held at the Burrow. It was such a hot, beautiful day that we decided to have it in the front yard. Harry of course knew about it, it was to be a surprise, but nothing passes him. I've spent the majority of the summer at the Burrow with Ron. All he talked about was shagging and Lavender Brown. I just sat there and listened.
"C'mon Hermione, I thought you were burning up!" Harry said putting his hands on his hips.
"All I said was that I'm burning up, but it would be good to try and get a tan! Not that I'm burning up and someone should pour water on me to put me out, Harry!" I yelled backed at him. I turned away from him and sat on the grass with Ginny.
"I think he likes you Hermione," Ginny whispered.
"Who, Harry?" I said, I shook my hair to the side and tied it in a pony tail.
"Yeah, he's soooo into you, how can you not notice? The way he looks at you, I can't even put in words. Hermione, just, talk to him about it; see what he thinks about relationships. He might say something about you," Ginny smiled, she put her hand in my hand. "Go for it." She finished and stood up and walked over to play exploding snap with Fred and George.
Ginny left me confused the rest of the day. I've talked to Harry almost the whole day and didn't notice any different feelings he had towards me than being a good friend.
Later that night when all the Weasleys fell asleep, and the only people that were awake were Harry and I. Sitting by the armchair near the fireplace, I pulled out a book to pass the time, and I wasn't sleepy. Harry sat next to me on the loveseat, staring into the fire.
"Hermione," Harry started, still staring into the fire.
"Hmm?" I said still reading my book. He got up and stood in front of me. I looked up from my book. He took a deep breath and got on his knees in front of me.
"Harry, what," I began, but he stopped me from finishing.
"Hermione, listen to me, ok? I, I've liked you since first year, and that like grew to love. I love you Hermione." He said. His glasses where twinkling in the fire light. I refused to believe that his love was beyond friendship, what? Did he expect me to jump into his arms and tell him I've loved him forever?
"Well, I love you too, both you and Ron." I said, regretting it, Harry's whole face darkened.
"O- Ok, I understand." He croaked out. He started to get up. My brain was screaming. "Follow your heart Hermione!!! Do something!!! He's leaving!!! Damn it girl if you don't your heart will!!!" Before I knew it I grabbed Harry's face and kissed him. My whole body felt tingly. Harry froze for a second, then relaxed against me, he wrapped his arms around my waist, mine going around his neck, we were standing now. Harry smiled down at me.
"So, does this mean we can be together? I'd love that so much Hermione." Harry said through tears.
"Yes Harry, I love you, yes, I wanna be with you." I said, feeling slightly goofy about how my words came out. Harry wiped both our tears away. That night we went to separate beds, but in our hearts we were together.
The day before going to Kings Cross Station we went to Diagon Alley to get our school supplies. Harry and I went to get our books, more ingredients for Potions, and money from Gringotts to pay for all there stuff. Harry, Ron and I went to relax at an Ice Cream shop to talk. Harry and I explained to Ron about our relationship. He wasn't surprised.
"I knew it was gonna happen one way or the other." Ron said shrugging, he stood up to stretch, He's grown to be about 6'3 long pretty nose, long feet, and he even let his hair grow to his ears. He looked around and stared at me for a second then at Harry.
"You guys are gonna have some pretty babies!" he laughed. We all laughed together. Lavender Brown walked past, winking at Ron, as if he was her little secret. Ron excused himself and went to walk with Lavender.
Harry put his arm around me, I leaned into him, and he kissed the top of my head. I lifted my chin, expecting a kiss. He kissed me; his hands were in my hair now. He was giving me sweet, gentle kisses. I put my hands on his lap. Rubbing back and forth on his inner thighs, I could feel his erection, I stopped abruptly. I've never felt anything like that before.
"What's wrong Hermione?" he said confused. "Am I going to fast? I'm sorry..." he apologized.
"No, it's not you, well, it's just, I've never felt, a guy's erection before, it was a bit of a shock that I was turning you on." I stuttered.
"Oh. Well, I've never kissed a girl like I am with you." I blushed, he rubbed my cheek. "C'mon, let's go find Ron." Harry held my hand and we left the ice cream parlor.
