A New Beginning Chp.3 The Hammock

"So what's this surprise you have planned Mr. Potter" Hermione said to Harry teasingly.

"Wouldn't you like to know" said Harry giving Hermione a taste of her own medicine.

"Yes Mr. Potter I would"

"Well I guess you'll just have to wait Ms. Granger" said Harry not letting his guard down one bit.

"Fine Harry I guess that means you don't love me"

"Now Ms. Granger you of all people should know that's not true" Harry said as he moved over closer to Hermione.

Two days later, Sunday night, Harry reached over and pulled Hermione close to him as they sat there together as a couple and a couple that had much potential.

"Okay Ms. Granger now I'm going to have to blind fold you with something so." Harry said as he took off his shirt and tied it around Hermione's eyes so she couldn't see.

Harry took her out her back door and into the night in her back yard. It was pitch black outside and he took off the blind fold and left it on the ground. He ran away leaving Hermione standing at the top of her back yard in the pitch black night.

"Harry where are you?"

"Come and find me Ms. Granger"

"Harry this isn't funny" but she just couldn't help but laugh.

Hermione ran around her backyard trying to find Harry. As she came around the corner of her old swing set she ran into something but it wasn't anything that was normally outside. It was Harry but Hermione didn't know that so she ran her fingers up from where her hands had landed. Then she came to his face and she realized it was Harry. Harry reached out with his hands and pulled her lips to his. Once again their mouths opened and their tongues were free to roam the others mouth. This time was different, it had more meaning, and Hermione's hands weren't hanging off of Harry's neck like they were last time this time they were running up and down his back and his chest. Harry was doing the same for Hermione but she had her shirt on. Harry broke of the long kiss and took Hermione's hand and lead her over to the middle of the yard where he had strung a hammock. As he sat down on the hammock he puller Hermione in it with him and laid her on top. They went right back where they had been before they were in the hammock. But this time Hermione was acting very much unlike herself. She took Harry's hand and put it up her shirt allowing him to run his hands along her like she was to him. Then Hermione and Harry stopped and just laid there together in the hammock. They would kiss every once in a while but mostly laid and enjoyed the view of the stars, together.

"Harry"

"What Hermione?"

"Tonight, was really nice.thanks"

"Anytime.Ms. Granger"

"So.not to bring anything bad up but.Harry we can't keep this from Ron. I just feel bad."

"I do to Hermione but I don't want to hurt him"

"I think he'll understand Harry"

"I hope so.we can tell him on the train ride"

"Yeah.at least I wont feel so guilty anymore, I mean he's our best friend Hermione"

"I know that's why I wanted to tell him Harry"

The next morning Harry and Hermione woke-up still in the hammock with Hermione laying on top of Harry. It was 7:30 the next morning and they weren't tired despite the fact that they had gone to bed at 4 in the morning. They had two days left of summer vacation and they didn't think it could get any better than last night. That morning at breakfast Harry and Hermione got owls from Parvati. The letter read:

Dear Harry and Hermione,



Hey! Ron told me that Harry was spending the rest of the time here so I figured I would just write one letter. Your invited to my 17th birthday party. It will last until Wednesday morning, my parents rented a bus so you can bring all your junk for school and we're all going to catch the train together. The party starts as soon as you get here and since your at Hermione's I wont worry about sending you floo powder. Hope to see you two soon.

From,

Parvati

Harry and Hermione set off to collect all their stuff to go to Parvati's 17th birthday party at her huge house. Parvati's parents had a lot of money and they showed it. Her house was four stories and the top story was hers but for tonight her parents let her use the bottom two stories and they had put a spell on it so they couldn't hear any sounds coming from the stories bellow. She had a pool with everything, the picnic tables, grill, and best of all plenty of places for getting good sun. Harry and Hermione were done getting ready so they put all of their luggage in and shouted Parvati's, and did the same for both of them. They arrived at Parvati's house in less than 5minutes. Harry and Hermione had both agreed they had to tell Ron as soon as he got here. They both wondered what Ron would say and hoped he wouldn't care.

"Hey Harry, Hermione.How are you?" yelled Parvati from across the hall.

"We're great said Harry and Hermione" the two were still holding hands from when they left Hermione's house.

"Are you two a couple now?" asked Parvati looking at the twos hands.

"Yea! But you can't tell Ron we haven't told him yet" said Harry turning and smiling at Hermione.

"Good I'm so glad, I wondered how long it would take you two. Would you mind if I asked you a favor?"

"No go ahead Parvati, I mean it's your birthday we'll do whatever you want" said Hermione waiting for Parvati to ask her favor.

"Well, I'm two rooms short and will you two share a room?" asked Parvati

"No problem" Harry said almost sounding excited.

"I can put a cot in there if you want"

"Don't worry about it Parvati, Harry won't cause any trouble" said Hermione.

"And just how do you know that Ms. Granger?" asked Harry teasingly.

"Okay you two well I don't care what you do but you two can go pick a room, everyone that's here already is just putting their stuff away" Parvati said looking at the two and knowing they would go far in their relationship " Oh! And before you leave I want you to meet my cousin her names Abby. She's 16 but, she is going to go to Hogwarts this year and she's in our year, she turns 17 in December.

"Hi Abby" Harry and Hermione said together.

"Parvati have Ron and Jason gotten here yet" Harry asked hoping the answer was yes.

"Yea! They just got here so you'll have to find which room there in"

Hermione and Harry found a room and Harry playfully pinned Hermione on the bed and kissed her lightly on the lips. Hermione kissed him back but she decided this wasn't going to be just a kiss so she turned it into a full blown snog. Then Hermione cut it off and looked up at Harry.

"We can finish this later tonight Mr. Potter" said Hermione in a playfully teasing voice.
