Left Behind

Chapter 6

Hermione's POV

            I knew he'd be sad once I said I had to leave. I'm sad too by the way, don't get me wrong! After managing finally with great difficulty to get out of Harry's tight embrace, I searched for my belongings and…eh hem my clothes of course! I quickly pulled them on while in the corner of my eye watched as Harry marveled at my body. He had that sexy smirk on again.

"You do know it's rude to stare Mr. Potter."

"It's only rude if you don't know them." Damn, he got me there. I simply laugh. Again more whining from Harry.

"Do you reeealy have to go?"

"Yes I reeealy have to go Harry." He looks down disappointed. After I'm finished zipping up my skirt I walk towards him and sit down on the bed.

"Come back over to my flat…err if you want that is…after your done with your meeting… please?" I smile.

"Of course Harry." Now it's his turn to dress. He grabs his boxers and puts them on quickly. I start to head out of his door, until suddenly he grabs my hand.

"Think of me today?" He says. Not an order but a request.

"Only if you'll think of me in return." He smiles. God I'll never get sick of that handsome smile.

"By the way, where is your flat located?" He questions. I laugh.

"Near Hogsmeade. Do you want the address?" He was practically on his knees begging the answer yes.

"Of course I want the address…I don't want to…I never want to lose you again." He says seriously. He kisses me on the forehead. "I love you so much."

"I love you too." I get lost in his eyes once again.

"So do I get that address now?" He jokes. I laugh

"Yes Harry you get that address." So I give in.

*********

After our long, torturous, and might I add dramatic departures, I quickly picked up the pace as I walked down Hogsmeade to get to The Three Broomsticks. Hoping beyond hope I wasn't too late, I decided to make up a lie if someone asked why I was late. Hmmm, how about I tell them my oven exploded? Too common? Too "as if"? Too lame? As I walked and thought, I didn't realize I would be so incredibly into my thoughts, that I noticed that none of the shops looked familiar at all. That's when it hit me. I passed it. I let out a long sigh, and turned around to the other direction.

 Right as I'm about to enter the pub, I take a deep breath and then proceed to casually saunter in. I look at the clock on the wall as I enter. It read 12:14. Damn that boy who lived.  Hoping no one noticed, I take my seat and proceed to chat among the other "new" teachers around my seat.  That's right Granger keep in smooth and cool. And that's just what I did.

*********

            I swear these little meetings get longer and longer. At around 3, when the meeting was finally over, I decided to head on home to change into some fresh clean clothes. Since you know, I had been wearing the same outfit for two days now. After I walk in, check my mail…hmmm all bills, take a shower, feed my cat…poor Crookshanks… I get a sudden outburst in the fireplace. And guess who it was?

"Sweetheart you there?" He says. Awww, he called me sweetheart.

"Yes, I just got home."

"Are you…coming back over here…?" He almost looks scared.

"I said yes before Harry, why would I change my mind?"

"Just making sure." He smiles

"Ok then, I'll see you soon alright?" He really cares about me.

"Ok, I love you."

"I love you too." I blow a kiss from the fire. His face disappears. I'm so in love with that boy…no wait, correction…I'm so in love with that MAN!

Harry's POV

            I knew she said yes before, but I just had to ask her again! I had to ask her if she was coming back over to my house. Thank Merlin she gave me her address or I would of died. Literally. I had to make sure I knew where she was staying. Ok, I'm being paranoid again. It's just that I don't want to lose her ever again. I'm afraid that she'll leave me, just like I left her. It's my fault, I know. Now I'm scared. It's already past 6 and that's technically tonight right? RIGHT? Maybe she's coming at 7? That's a "date" time. I think. You've never been on a date you twat. Oh right…  Perhaps, she's coming at 7:30ish? Possibly. Maybe she got stuck in floo traffic? Maybe…maybe…maybe I should calm down and relax.

Knock Knock

"Yessss." God I can be so lame at times. I open the door for her and see the most beautiful creature in the world.

"Hi." She says.

"Hi." I say below a whisper. I'm doing it again, thinking about naughty things.

"Aren't you going to ask how my day went?" she mocks.

"Yes, but I wanna do this first."

"Do wha-." She starts to say as my lips capture hers.

"Now, how was your day?" She's smiling like crazy. I did one good deed!

"Very dull and boring until I saw you."

"Really, same here."

"Ha-ha, not as bad as mine, I had to see Professor Snape again. You know he still taunts me about my bookwomishness."

"Really, that grease ball? He's still around?"

"Yeah, I saw him when I was helping out Professor Flitwick at Hogwarts, but he never spoke a word to me. Not until today."

"I love your bookwormishness." I say looking directly in her eyes.

"Thank you." She blushes.

"Soo, what do you wanna do tonight?"

"We can start by going to a movie and see where that goes." She states trying to look innocent. She's cute when she tries. But, there's a mischievous look in her eyes. Is that lust?

"Alright, I can handle that."

"Ok." She smiles. As I go to look for the paper for the movie times I turn around suddenly.

"Have I told you I love you today?"

"Yes, in my fire place." Her smile widens.

"I love you." I say again anyways.

"I love you too." I stand there for a second thinking about us. Suddenly the clock chimes once that it's half past the hour. I turn around out of her embrace and look through the paper a couple of times. We agree on seeing a romantic comedy. I look up at the clock again. It's a quarter to 7.

"We better go if we want to make that movie."

"Ok." She gives me a quick peck on the lips and we exit my apartment. I lock the door and we walk off into the sunset, hands entwined…

A/N- Look I wrote a chapter and it didn't take me three months to do it!! Isn't that exciting!! Hope you enjoyed it. If you didn't that's ok, I just wanted to get this chapter up and ready for your viewing. I know there wasn't really anything too exciting about it but alas. I don't really know when the next one will be up. I guarantee it won't take me three months…don't worry! See you later!
