"The dream becomes true"

After some days, Harry and Hermione exited from the hospital wing and returned to the lessons, noticing that now Ron was avoiding them, and, if they noticed that he was staring them, he reddened on the ears.Harry fought the urge of smiling, because he remembered him his behaviour for many months, so the same evening , when all the others went to their dorms and only he, Hermione and Ron were in the common room, he took her hand and they went to Ron, crossing the room; then Harry started: "Ron.listen to me.I know you'll suffer, but.really."; seeing him so in trouble, Hermione helped him: "I and Harry now are together, Ron.our relationship is over.actually it never really started."

Ron looked Harry with hatred then he said: "Had you to say it to her, didn't you, Harry? You couldn't avoid it.you could avoid destroying me."

"I had ask it to him, Ron.and don't accuse him.at least he demonstrated to be really in love with me.I'll never forget that he was ready to suicide for seeing me free.."

"Were you committing suicide?" Ron exclaimed, amazed; Harry reddened, then he told him all what was happened in the Voldemort's Headquarter; at the end, Ron, sadly, commented on: "Well, Hermione.you were right.he deserves your love.he demonstrated his love for you." then Ron shook Harry's hand and started going away, but Harry took his arm and said:

"Ron, listen to me.you have to know that we trust you, ok? It isn't important the fact that you were recruited.everyone could make a mistake."; Ron smiled feebly, then hugged them and said: "Well, now I leave you alone.surely you have something to say each other.or something to do." and went upstairs, in the dorm.

Harry and Hermione, while Ron was going, hugged, she kissed him quickly on the lips then she said: "Goodnight, my love!" and went to her dorm, leaving Harry there.

He decided to remain in the common room, on a couch near the fire, thinking on all the facts of the year until that moment, thinking he was a prat being so angry for Ron and Hermione in the past months.thinking so he fell asleep.

Next morning Hermione found him first and asked him if he wanted to go running with her.he looked her in her running clothes, and agreed; he went upstairs to get dressed properly, then they went to run together.

In a few days everyone knew about them, and everyone was happy for them, the same Ron seemed quite merry; one day, after the lunch, they went, taking each other's hand, for a walk near the lake and they were surprised seeing Draco and Cho on a bench, kissing.

Harry smiled, and Draco, seeing this, replied with a large smile, then he invited them to sit near them, and they started chatting all together.after a little, Harry wanted to go to Hagrid because he didn't see him from a long time, so he entered with Hermione in the well-known hut, where Hagrid offered them some tea, listened for the all story in all the details and at the end exclaimed: "For all the gargoyles, Harry, you really are the best!!" and all of them started laughing; at the dinner time they returned to the castle.

Through many lessons, with Harry's marks that didn't fell down despite of the less study, it arrived to the Easter Holidays, and as usual many students went home.in the Gryffindor tower Ron, Harry and Hermione laughed and joked as at the old times, as if that year with all its problems didn't existed.one day, however, Ron was alone with Harry and he told him: "Harry, I know it is silly, but .take care of her and make her happy."

"Be calm, Ron.she is in good hands.at least, I hope it." then he hugged him and they went in the library to do their homeworks.

The same evening, when everyone went to his dorm, Hermione said: "Harry, I think the moment is arrived" with a mischievous look; he understood but pretend to didn't understand and asked grinning: "Moment for what?"; she kissed him on his lips, then whispered: "For shagging."

"Yes, but.where?" he answered, and she showed him a couch saying: "We will be happy with this", then pulled him to herself, brushing his lips with hers; he opened his mouth over hers, searching her tongue with his, then went down on her neck, making her moan, also caressing her back.after a little, she started unbuttoning his shirt, and he did the same; he took off her blouse and started cupping her breasts through the bra, while she was exploring his chest with her hands; she took off his shirt, while he was undoing her bra, and then staring at her, half-naked in front of him; he started kissing and licking her breasts and her nipples; she moaned from her throat, making sounds which were making him insane.he went down, to her trousers and unbuttoned, unzipping the fly, and then discarding them; now she was only with her knickers, so she decided to go on, and discarded his, leaving him in boxers; then she took off her panties, and he his boxers, and they started to explore each other with their mouths, both of them moaning.thinking they could be doing this forever.

After some time, she took his penis, and brought him to her pussy: "Are you sure you want this?" Harry asked, and she answered "Of course.I was expecting this moment from months.", so he took her hips and started inserting it in her. she cried but said "Go on, Harry, go on." so he pushed until his dick wasn't completely in her, then he started moving faster, and she was near the top.

They arrived to the top together, but he managed in taking it off before spilling his seed into her, then he breathed very deeply, hugging her, who was also taking her breath, and said: "You like it didn't you?"

"Saying I liked it is saying very little." she answered grinning, then kissed him deeply again; he broke the kiss and said: "I love you, Hermione." "I love you too, Harry" she answered, then leaned her body on his, and after a little she fell asleep.

Next morning he woke up and started looking her, sleeping on him.after some minutes, however, he had to wake up her, to get dressed and go to their dorms, before anyone could come and find them naked in the common room; he kissed her and went to change his robes..

One day she, while they were walking, confided him: "Harry, do you remember this summer, to the Dursleys? "

"Yes, why?"

"Because there I wanted to ask you to be with me, but I was confused, because I knew Ron loved me too.and I loved him.so I decided to wait, to see who loved me more.then on the train he kissed me, and I accepted him.you did nothing to show your love.but when I saw your face, I knew that you also was in love with me.but I could do nothing.I couldn't broke with him one hour later we went together."

"Don't worry, you did the right thing.I made a mistake."

She looked around and grinning added: "However, you are a real playboy.I don't know if you noticed it, but all the Hogwarts female students wish they could be in my place."

He turned, hugged her, kissed her briefly, then answered: "But I want you with me, not other girls."
