CHAPTER 2!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione was standing in front of the bathroom mirror when Harry came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. Hermione frowned.
"What's wrong?" he asked turning her around to face him.
"I look like a coconut." She replied stepping back to reveal a cinnamon dress robe her mother gave her for an early birthday gift.
"No you don't Hermione." Harry smiled.
"Yes I do."
"Then you are an extremely pretty coconut." He remarked grinning.
"Coconuts aren't pretty. They are big, round, fat. And just ugly."
"If that's what you think, then you are definitely not a coconut." Harry said turning Hermione around so she could see herself in the mirror. Hermione was quite petite and the robe hung gently around her slender form, hi-lighting her sparkling eyes; she was beautiful.
"I'm a coconut." Hermione said sighing. Harry burst out laughing.
"What? It's not funny!"
"Well a coconut is commonly known as a dumb person, and you are definitely NOT dumb, and you look nothing like a coconut and besides, if you are worried about not looking your best for Ron, he has seen you as a half cat. So I see no reason to be as critical of your looks when you look absolutely gorgeous."
Hermione smiled.
"There you go, smiling makes you look even prettier if that is possible, and I have never known you to be so concerned about your looks."
"I suppose it is just because I want to look my best, I mean it is my Birthday dinner."
"What makes you say that?" Harry said grinning, "Your Birthday isn't till tomorrow!"
"You remembered!" Hermione exclaimed in mock surprise, "and anyway Ron and Lavender wont be in town tomorrow, and that is why we are eating lunch together today."
"Oh!"
"Come on lets go, it is now a quarter till 12."
"Herm, you KNOW Ron isn't going to be there 15 minutes early, and it only takes a second to apparate there."
"But we need to get a good table."
"We have reservations."
"Okay, but at 10 till I am leaving with or without you."
Harry leaned forward and kissed his wife gently and she wrapped her arms around his neck automatically and became lost in the embrace.
"Have I told you I loved you today?" he asked when their lips parted.
Hermione smiled but it faded when she looked at the clock.
"HARRY!"
"Huh?"
"It's 3 till 12! I told you I hate when you kiss me like that!"
"I thought that was just because you aren't mad at me anymore." Harry said with a smile.
"And that I lose track of time, Let's go."
"All Right, All Right."
And with that the Potters vanished with a pop
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Harry, Hermione! Over here!" Ron called beckoning them over to the table where he and Lavender were sitting.
"Hey you guys, I hope you weren't waiting long." Hermione said hugging Lavender curtly and then tightly enveloping Ron in a friendly embrace and then Harry nodded at Lavender and ending up giving Ron a short hug.
"Actually…" Lavender began hastily.
"We just came a bit early, didn't want you to wait too long Herm." Ron finished flashing a glance at Lavender.
"How early Ron."
"It is good to see you Ron, it's been awhile." Harry said.
"Harry, you aren't gonna get him out of this one, How early?"
"Okay, just like 15 till 12… not that long." Ron said surrendering to the look Hermione was giving him.
The look that Hermione was giving Ron shifted to Harry instantly.
"What?" Harry said defensively
"When did I want to leave, Harry?"
"Umm... you did say something about 10 till?"
"Before that."
"Umm… sorry…my memory doesn't go back that far."
"15 minutes till 12, 15 till." Hermione groaned.
"Oh relax Herm, we really didn't have to wait long, and it did me good to be early for once."
Hermione laughed.
"Okay, I'm ready to order." Lavender said speaking up.
The trio all looked at her.
"Well, I'm not, too busy discussing a pointless matter." Harry commented.
"It was not pointless. But I wasn't able to look for anything either."
"Actually it was pointless… but I am ready, what else did I do for the long 15 minute wait." Ron chipped in.
Hermione and Harry both groaned.
"What? I understand why Hermione groaned, but I was helping you Harry."
"You said it was a long wait! And you brought it up again."
"It was not pointless! And you said it wasn't that long."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N – Sorry that they are getting sorta OOC, I am trying to make this time thing go away, but it just wont go, do you know how many times I tried to make it go bye-bye? It just keeps coming back… *sigh* - LOL – well back to the story….
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Just forget it!" Harry said, "Can we please just forget it?"
"Okay, I am starving anyway." Ron said
"Yea, and this is my birthday dinner." Hermione said smiling a little; it has been so long since the 3 of them were together.
"What makes you say it is your Birthday Dinner Herm?" Ron asked. Hermione plopped down in her chair while Harry and Ron exchanged laughs.
"Just kidding Herm!" Ron exclaimed, "I know your Birthday is tomorrow, and it is partly the reason we got together on this date…"
"If you three don't mind, I am hungry." Lavender spoke up, the trio had forgotten she was there.
"Yea, why don't we order first." Ron said.
"All right…" Harry said scanning over the menu.
-------------------------
After they ordered their food, the three friends started talking again."
"So… what was the other reason we got together on this date Ron?" Hermione asked taking a sip of water.
"Well… lavenderandiaregettingmarried." He mumbled.
"Really!?" Harry said deciphering Ron's mumble right away and dropping his glass.
"What?" Hermione asked obviously confused.
Ron cheeks turned nearly as red as his hair.
"That's great you guys! So when is it going to be?"
"Oh, in about a month." Lavender said speaking up.
"If you people don't mind, what in the world are you talking about?" Hermione asked
"When was this decided?" Harry continued, while they all ignored Hermione's requests to know what is going on, she was too busy trying to get them to tell her, than to listen and figure out what they were talking about.
"About a year ago…" Ron said, his face still bright red.
Hermione got up and left the table.
"And you didn't tell me?" Harry demanded playfully, "I am suppose to be your best friend!"
"Well, with all the fighting going on, and then your wedding coming up…" Ron began.
"Okay, okay I understand." Harry grinned, "Well that's great isn't Herm? That Ron and Lavender are finally getting hitched? Herm?"
"Where'd she go?" Ron asked.
"Did you see her leave Lavender?" Harry questioned concerned.
"Huh? Oh no, I was eating."
"I'm going to go look for her." Harry stated standing up.
"I'll help." Ron said and they left to find Hermione being faintly reminded of the time she ran away back in their 6th year. After the two wizards left only Lavender was left at the table helping her self to the trio's 'left overs'.
