Love Sweet Love
Chapter 1
*~Harry~*
I sat alone on my bed the month after the last term of my sixth year ended. Uncle Vernon never makes me work anymore, he found out that my godfather was a convicted murderer, he just never found out he's been dead since fifth year. I always knew it was my fault; I should have helped him earlier.
At the beginning of sixth year I realized I had a huge crush on my best friend, Hermione. She just has so much inner beauty that many people don't see. I think I have fallen in love with her, not a good thing if she doesn't feel the same way. All of a sudden Hedwig, my owl flew threw my window. "What do you have there girl?" I asked stroking her wing. I took the letter tied around her foot.
'Dear Harry
Can you come stay with me for the rest of the summer? I know you usually stay with Ron but I just miss you so much! Owl me back as soon as you ask that wretched family of yours if you can come. If they don't let you, they have me to deal with. If you can come, can we pick you up tomorrow late afternoon? My family and I will be visiting my cousin's new co-workers family. There house is really close to yours so we can pick you up after if it's ok with you. Take care of yourself Harry.
With much love Hermione'
"UNCLE VERNON" I yelled after completely reading the letter.
"What in bloody hell do you want boy?" Uncle Vernon snarled when he came into my room.
"Can I please go stay at my friend's house for the rest of the summer?" I asked politely.
"Another one of those bloody fool mates of yours, what's his name?" Vernon spit.
"HER name is Hermione!" I told him.
"She is a she is she?"
"Yes."
"So now you have a girlfriend?" Uncle Vernon laughed hysterically.
"No." I turned a deep red, "just a good friend."
*~Hermione~*
I hope Harry can come I have liked him for as long as I can remember. All of a sudden Hedwig tapped on my window. I got up and let her in then took the letter. 'Oh I hope this is good news' I thought.
'Dear Hermione
I would love to come! I asked my uncle and he said the sooner I got out of his house the better. Late tomorrow afternoon sounds fine as long as I can see you again soon! I miss you too. See you tomorrow.
With Love, Harry'
"YES!" I shrieked.
My dad came running up the stairs and into my room.
"What is it sweetheart?" He asked panting.
"Harry can come!" I told him smiling widely.
"Ah so you like this Harry chap eh?" Daddy asked.
I blushed a deep crimson.
"I'll take that as a yes, now get to sleep we have to wake up very early to drive all the way to surrey tomorrow morning."
"Yes daddy." I stood up so I could kiss his cheek. "Goodnight, love you."
"Love you too princess." He turned off my light and shut the door.
"I love Harry." I whispered before falling into a deep sleep.
*~*~*
Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep
"Shut up!" I slammed my fist down on my alarm clock then remembered, I get to see Harry today! I crawled out of bed and looked in the mirror. I realized how much stile I have developed this past year. I finally filled out in the right places and my hair tamed itself. I stared at my reflection. I am now five foot two (sorry I'm no good at the metric system, forgive me! I think it's somewhere around 1.5 and 1.6 M), shortest and skinniest in my year. My hair is about waist length and is part brown but is sun-bleached to a honey blonde and is now loose curls. I am wearing blue pj Capri's and a white lacy spaghetti strap shirt that shows my belly button and my tan stomach.
I ran into my bathroom and brushed my teeth. Then I turned on the shower and made it really warm as the air-conditioning in my house makes it freezing. I shed my close and stepped in. I washed up quickly and hoped out and put on my pink tube top showing my tan shoulders. Then I put on my sort of short jean skirt and sort of high shoes, though I'm still short with them. I brushed my long hair and decided to leave it down.
"HERMIONE!" My mum called from downstairs, "We are leaving honey!"
"Coming!" I yelled grabbing my pink purse and running downstairs.
*~Harry~*
"Today, you are going to be the butler, boy." Uncle Vernon spat in my face. 'Why is he making me work again.' I thought.
"Why what's going on?" I asked, hoping these people leave before Hermione comes.
"Some of my co-workers family is coming today for a brunch, they want to meet us." Vernon explained.
"Here." Aunt Petunia shoved one of Dudley's old suit in my face. "Put this on." She grabbed my shoulder then pushed me towards the stairs to go up to my room. "And don't mess things up this time!" She growled then stomped away.
*~*~*
Ding Dong
"Get the door boy."
I ran to the front door and opened it.
"Welcome to the Dur-" I began to recite. "Hermione?"
"Harry!" She shrieked.
We both gave each other a huge hug.
"I've missed you so much Harry." She told me.
"I've missed you too." I responded.
"Ahem" Uncle Vernon growled. "Sorry about the butler he's erm, new."
"You wretched man, Harry's not your butler, he's your nephew." Hermione yelled in his face. I was surprised at how outraged she could get.
"You know this boy?" Uncle Vernon asked bewildered.
"Yes I know him, he's my best friend!" Hermione exclaimed. "Harry get your things, I'm getting you out of here right now!"
She followed me up the stairs to my room and grabbed my broom and Hedwig as I grabbed my heavy trunk. I was still to bewildered to speak. We walked down the stairs.
"Um, nice meeting you lot, bye Harry!" Dudley said stupidly as I walked out of the Dursley residence for the last time in my life (he's going into seventh year so he doesn't havta come back! Well except for that thing he learnt in fifth year but oh who cares!).
"Well that went well." Mrs. Granger said as we walked to the car.
"Oh I'm sorry I'm Harry, Harry Potter." I introduced myself.
"Sorry about that mum, I didn't mean to be so outraged it's just he's such a-"Hermione started.
"Horrible man." Mr. Granger finished, "I'm sorry you had to live like that for so long Harry, why if Mrs. Granger or myself would have known about that we would have gotten you out of there a heck of a lot sooner."
"Oh, I've learned to deal with it over the years." I said sadly, "It's not your problem anyway but thank you for the thought."
*~Hermione~*
I was so mad at Harry's uncle; I didn't know what got into me.
"You two should take a nap, it will make the ride feel shorter, plus you both look really tired." Daddy told us.
"Good idea Mr. Granger." Harry said smiling.
"'nite Harry." I said resting my head on his shoulder, we both fell asleep quickly.
*~*~*
"Chaz, they look like us when we first started dating at that age, how sweet." I heard mum say. I could feel Harry's arm around my waist and my head was still on his shoulder. I blinked and opened my eyes all the way.
"Harry, wake up, we're here." I told him, not wanting him to take his arm away. He smiled slightly and opened his eyes. He noticed where his arm was and pulled it away quickly. Turning his back to me he opened the car door and stepped out.
"Wow Hermione, I love your house." Harry said still standing right outside of the car. I looked up at my house. It didn't seem much to me, probably because I have lived here my whole life. It only has six bedrooms, and three bathrooms. Then there is the stuff that everyone seems to have; a kitchen, family room, dining room, living room, pallor, study, pool, pool house, then my favorite part, the library.
We walked into the foyer and I turned so I could lead Harry up the grand spiral staircase, my other favorite part of the house. "Here is your room, right across the hall from mine, my parent's room is downstairs. If you want we can go for a swim."
"Ok, sounds good!" Harry said enthusiastically.
"Alright then, go in your room and change into your swim suit so we can swim for a while." I told him walking towards my door.
"Hermione?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for letting me stay here I really appreciate it." He said in an adorable voice.
"Well thanks for coming." I walked in my room and closed my door, then I ran to my dresser to try to find my cutest bathing suit.
*~Harry~*
I stepped in my room and shut the door behind me. I looked around open mouthed. In the middle of the room against a wall with two windows on it was a huge four post king sized bed. Across from that was a dresser then there were other things around the room that most bedrooms have such as a desk and chair and a bookcase. I looked to my left and noticed a door. I opened it and saw my very own bathroom. "I could get used to this." I mumbled. I searched through my bag for my favorite green bathing suit that matches my eyes.
*~*~*
I knocked on Hermione's door and asked if she was ready yet. "Yeah, I'm coming Harry, one second." I stood and leaned against the wall next to her door. "Ready Harry?" She opened the door and I opened my mouth. She had on a skimpy two piece bathing suit showing off her abs and the rest of her skinny body. 'Man she is tan' I thought.
"You look very nice Hermione." She smiled at that.
"You do too Harry, I love how your bathing suit matches your eyes." (grr even though its Slytherins colors! I had to make it green though!) I blushed and smiled.
*~*~*
We swam around for awhile until we heard the doorbell ring. Her parents were out shopping so we had to get it.
"Oh hey Matt, hey Alex." Hermione said to a guy and a girl that looked about our age. "This is Harry, my friend from boarding school."
"Hey Harry nice to meet you, I'm Matt." A very tall very tan guy said to me.
"Hey, are you Hermione's boyfriend?" I asked not trying to sound upset, if he was.
"No," I perked up, "We are just neighbor's but Alex is my girlfriend."
"I have an idea!" Alex, a medium height girl with short blonde hair exclaimed.
"What is it?" Hermione asked looking at her friend.
"Let's have a chicken fight!" She told us happily, "Me and Matt against you two."
I looked at Hermione questionably.
"Oh Harry, you don't know what a chicken fight is do you?" She asked sounding sympathetic.
I shook my head. Then Alex started to explain.
"Well first you make up two teams of two. Then in our case the guy on the team gets down in the water and lets the girl on the team climb on his shoulders. The guy stands up and holds onto the girls legs as the two girls from the opposing teams fight to try to knock the other one off the guy's shoulder. Whoever stays on longer wins! You get it?"
I nodded slowly.
"It's easy Harry, you'll understand better once we start to play." Hermione told me.
"Alright then, let's go!" I grabbed Hermione's wrist and ran with her to the pool.
*~*~*
"We win again!" Alex laughed as Hermione fell off my shoulders for the tenth time.
"Time out!" I called.
Hermione and I walked to the other side of the pool. "I'll try to hold on to your legs tighter." I told her.
"And I'll stop covering your eyes and pay attention to the actual fighting part." She said sincerely. I couldn't help but laugh. We went back to the other 'team'.
"You other chickens ready to fight now?" Alex laughed.
"HAHA funny." Hermione said sarcastically.
I bent down so Hermione could get on. She sat down on my shoulders, she's so light. I stood up and gripped her legs tightly. The two girls fought until Alex fell off of Matt's shoulders and went plunging into the water with a big splash! I took Hermione's hands in my own and helped her off of my shoulders.
"We won!" She shrieked.
We enveloped each other in a big hug. 'Wow, I like this' I thought.
"Well we better get going, we are having an early dinner at Alex's house, nice meeting you Harry." Matt said.
"Ok, nice meeting you too Matt, you as well Alex." I responded.
"Right back at ya Harry." Alex smiled. The two walked out hand in hand.
'I hope that can be Hermione and I someday' I thought. 'Oh you do-do head, just ask her out!'
"Hermione?" I said.
*~Hermione~*
"Yeah?" I answered. 'Oh I hope he will just ask me out one day'
"I-uh-I mean-erm-uh-do you-um-do you want to-uh-do you want to-make dinner for your parents together?" He asked.
'Why was that so hard to ask' I thought.
"That sounds like fun, lets get started!" I said enthusiastically. We walked into the kitchen.
"How about we make my special kind of chicken, pasta, with a mix of vegetables like yellow, red, and green peppers, squash, zucchini, and onions?" (mmm mouth watering!) Harry suggested.
"Wow that sounds awesome, when did you learn how to cook?" I asked.
"I actually enjoy cooking; it's fun to try new things. The Dursley's used to make me cook for them, that's how I learned." He explained.
"Alright, let's get to work then." I said opening the refrigerator.
*~*~*
"This is really good kids." My Dad said reaching for a second helping of dinner.
"Yes, I agree, it's healthy as well." Mum, the health-attic, because she's a dentist, stated.
"Thanks." Harry and I said at the same time we looked at each other and smiled.
*~*~*
"That was a great movie." Harry said later, before yawning. "But I'm so tired, I think I'll head up to bed."
"Me too, 'night Mum, Daddy." I agreed. I kissed both of my parents on the cheek and followed Harry up the stairs.
*~Harry~*
I sat on my big bed. 'Wow it's comfy' I thought. My door opened and Hermione walked through.
"I just wanted to say goodnight." She said smiling. She was wearing a pink silk nightgown that went down to right above her knee.
"Goodnight then." I said leaning down to kiss her cheek. She kissed my cheek as well, then walked out of my room.
*~*~*
"What?" I mumbled as I was being shaken awake. I opened my eyes and saw a crying Hermione next to me standing on the floor. I rubbed my eyes and sat up, pulling her off the floor and onto my bed next to me.
"'Mione what's wrong?" I asked, worried.
"I had a bad dream and-and-"She buried her head into my chest, sobbing.
"It's ok, don't worry, it was only a dream, your safe now." I stroked her hair with one hand and held her tightly to me with the other, "nothing bad is going to happen to anyone or anything." I reassured her.
We just sat like this for awhile.
"I'm sorry Harry." She said whipping some left over tears around her eyes.
"For what?" I smiled warmly at her.
"Can I stay with you for the rest of the night?" She asked.
"Of course." I pulled the covers snuggly over both of us and wrapped my arm around her, "See, your safe."
She rested her head on my chest and quickly fell asleep.
"You have no idea how much I love you." I whispered before falling asleep myself.
