Notes: // Lyrics //, * thoughts *, ~ Flashback (1st one is Harry's POV) ~
Pairing: Harry Potter and Hermione Granger
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione lay next to her best friend and lover just thinking about the past. They were both twenty-two, married and sharing a beautiful apartment just outside of Muggle London.
// Lying here with you
I watch you while you sleep //
* I remember how he proposed like it was yesterday. * She thought watching Harry sleeping next to her with a small smile on his lips. * He looks so happy. Much like he did when he proposed to me. *
// The dawn is closing in With every breath you breathe //
~ Harry sat on his broom watching and waiting for the Snitch to appear. He snuck a look at his girlfriend of three years sitting in the stands looking more beautiful than the day he'd realized he had feelings for her.
He came back to the game when he heard a whizzing sound of the bludger coming at him. Swiftly and expertly he dodged it. As he was heading downwards he saw a flicker of gold to his left. Taking a closer look he saw the Snitch by the Furious Falcons' Keeper. Taking a swift left he began his chase for the Snitch, weaving in and out of both teams as he neared to Snitch it shot straight up. Following it with a burst of speed he realized that the other Seeker wasn't anywhere in sight. The Snitch made a quick right and for a couple of moments then shot down. By this time the Seeker, Charles O'Connell, had joined the chase.
Seeing this Harry used everything he'd learned at Hogwarts to be the best Seeker of the two. After a while of chasing the Snitch Harry finally caught it, but not before almost falling off his broom. They'd won the game with 210 to 150. Seeing Hermione jumping up and down in her seat Harry nodded to his teammates.
They all remounted their brooms and began flying around. Before anyone noticed anything the sky read 'Hermione Granger will you marry me?'. Harry sat on his broom in front of her as she looked at him and then back at the sky.
"YES!" She cried happily. ~
// I can feel the change The change you made in me But will I ever see All the things you see in me //
* He's never looked at me in any other way except as his friend even though I tended to study way too much. I remember when he first said that he loved me. *
// When you say that I'm one of a kind Baby I don't see it but you believe that //
~ "Hermione Granger, I love you so much." Harry said as he held her close to him as they sat in front of the lake at Hogwarts. It was the end of their seventh year and they were graduating later that week.
"I love you to Harry." Hermione whispered causing her to lean into him more.
"You are my best friend you know that right?"
"I do."
"I just want you to know that you're so special to me and not because of what you are (the smartest girl at Hogwarts) but who you are. You're my Hermione Granger, best friend and lover." ~
// I'm so strong and true I promise you I'll try to be that kind of woman Because you love me like I am //
~ "You're my strength in times of hardships, trails and times of uncertainty. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been there for me during the good and bad, but I would like to continue having you in my life now and forever." Harry recited at their wedding. ~
// When it comes to love I may not know the rules //
~ "You are my friend, my true love and now you are to be my husband. I will be here to hold you up in times of hardships, as you will be there for me. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather spend the rest of my life with." Hermione vowed tears of happiness in her eyes. ~
// But there's one thing I know My heart belongs to you Just you //
* "You have my heart, soul and my mind." Her words echoed in her mind. *
// When you say that I'm one of a kind Baby I don't see it but you believe that I'm so strong and true I promise you I'll try to be that kind of woman Because you love me like I am //
Hermione snuggled up closer to her husband and began to fall asleep thinking, * I'll never understand what drew him to me, but I'm fortunate that he saw something inside of me. *
// You showed me You love me With a fire that burns deep inside //
Harry smiled as he felt his beautiful wife snuggled closer to him. * She's so passionate about things around her. I lover her so much and I'm glad that she choose me. *
// You love me just like I am I don't see it but you believe it I'm so strong and true I promise you //
~ Harry watched Hermione studying for the thousandth time that year and couldn't hide his grin. * I've got to tell her how I feel. * Harry then leaned over to his other best friend and said, "I'm going to do it."
"'bout bloody time mate." Ron laughed.
"Will you help me?" Harry asked not knowing the first thing to do. Sure he'd dated before but none of them were like Hermione. She was beautiful, intelligent, and passionate and he didn't know the first thing to do.
"Sure. We'll call it 'Winning Hermione'." Ron laughed moving a piece to call, "Checkmate." ~
// I'll try to be that kind of woman Because you love me like I am I am //
He pulled her into him even more as he placed a soft kiss on the top of her head. Not knowing that she was thinking the same thing.
// I'll never understand I don't think I'll ever Ever understand Why you love me Why you love me Just like I am //
* (S)He loves me just like I am. *
