Soon after Harry was out of the shower Hermione took her turn. After she was dressed she walked into the kitchen and was surprised to see Harry cooking breakfast.

"I didn't know you could cook." she said sitting down next to Ron.

"I don't like to, but I can." he said flipping the omelet he was cooking over. "I had to cook every morning when I lived with the Dursleys."

"Oh, well you don't have to." Hermione said.

"Shh!" Ron said. "You won't say that once you've tasted his cooking, its bloody brilliant. Better than anything we had at Hogwarts."

"Really?" Hermione said getting rather excited about the breakfast. If Ron thought it was good it must really be.

"Its nothing special." Harry said placing a plate of bacon and sausages on the table. He saw Ron's eyes grow wide as he set the pate down. "Don't even think about it Ron. You will have to wait just a few more minutes."

"Aww come on Harry! Just that small piece of bacon." he said pointing to one.

"No." Harry said returning with a pot a tea and a plate of toast. "The omelets are almost done."

Hermione giggled as she watched Ron squirm in his seat. But couldn't help not wanting to snag a piece of bacon as well, it all smelt so good and she was rather hungry. She turned her eyes away from the plate and watched Harry adding things to the frying pan. He turned around and handed Ron his omelet then went back to work. She saw him add various vegetables and different types of cheese. Her eyes grew wide with anticipation as she saw him pick up a small silver bottle and sprinkle it on top of the omelet.

"What was that?" she asked him.

Harry turned around and smiled. "That is my secret." he said and turned back to the omelet.

"Don't try to get it out of him. He won't say. Mums been trying to find out what is is for two years." Ron said in-between bites of his omelet. "Harry this is fantastic. I wish you would cook more."

Harry shrugged his shoulders as he set a plate in front of Hermione and one in front of him. He poured her some tea and added some honey in her cup before pouring him some and adding honey and milk.

Hermione smiled at him and took her first bite of the omelet. She closed her eyes as she enjoyed the taste in her mouth.

Ron watched the interaction between his two best friends and smiled at them. He couldn't believe he was just now seeing how they act between each other. It was obvious they both have feelings for each other and he for one was glad that soon they would be together.



"Merlin, I've never had anything this good before" Hermione said putting another bite in her mouth

Harry smiled as he watched her enjoy the omelet. She carefully placed each bite it her mouth and savored the flavor of it before she would slowly chew it.

"Why is it that I've never had one of these before?" she asked him "Or anything else of yours. This is absolutely fantastic."

"You had some of him pumpkin pie last year at Christmas." Ron said pilling some bacon and sausages onto him plate.

"That was yours?"

"Yeah."

"That was the best pie I've ever had. Harry you really are an amazing cook."

Harry felt the heat rise in his face and he immediacy looked down at his plate.

"You should try his Shepards pie. I have to say its better than mum's." Ron said taking his plate to the kitchen sink. "Don't ever tell her I said that."

Harry and Hermione laughed just as a big gray owl flew through the kitchen window and landed next to Hermione. She untied the parchment and gave the owl a piece of bacon before it flew out the window.

Hermione stared at the piece of parchment. She was scared to open it. What if they didn't write a retraction? What if there was more picture of them?

Hermione was brought out of though of questions when she felt Harry squeezed her shoulder. "It will be okay Hermione." he said and picked up the parchment and unrolled it. He scanned the article and placed in down on the table in front of Hermione.

Hermione quickly read the article and looked up at Harry and smiled.

"I can't believe she quitting the paper." she said.

"I know. At least we won't have to worry about her after Saturday." he said with a smile.

"I know. It will all be over soon and we can have our lives back." she siad not trying to sound to excited, because she knew that Harry was nowe going to go back to his flat with Ron and she would only see him a few times a week.

"This is great! Harry are you going to move back tonight? Mr. Lovegood did say it should be okay."

"Oh." Harry said running his hands through his hair. " Well..... I...... planning on it, but I was thinking that since Hermione still has to stay in her flat for a few more days that I would as well. It would only be fair."

"Harry you don't have to do that. I am sure you have loads to do."

"I really don't. I was going to meet with Fred and George about the new store, but that can wait." he said trying not to sound to eager to stay. "But if you don't want me to stay I won't. I just though you may want some company."

Hermione smiled at him. How could she be so stupid and not want him to stay with her. " I would like for you to stay with me for a few more days, I just didn't think you would want to." she said as Crookshanks walked in to the kitchen and hissed at the three. "Besides you are better company than he is." she said looking down at the cat.

"I'll go over to the flat and pick up a few of your things Harry. Just give me a list of what you need." Ron said standing up and moving as far away from the cat as he could get.

"Thanks Ron. You don't mind that I stay here longer do you?"

Ron smiled. "No. Now why don't we go make a list of what you need so I can bring it by after the shop closes."

Harry and Ron left the kitchen and talked in to the spare room. Harry turned and looked at Ron.

"Why did we come in here?" he asked as Ron closed the room and placed and silencing charm on the room.

"I wanted to talk to you with Hermione hearing us." he said sitting on a chair near the window.

"About what?" he asked as he sat on the edge of the bed.

"You and Hermione."

"What about us?"

"Well this morning you said you where going to tell her you fancied her, and well I wanted to know when."

"Well I think I am tonight."

"Really? How?"

Harry laughed. "You are starting to sound like a girl!"

"I am not! I'm just curious."

"Well I don't know how. But I know if I don't tell her soon I'm going to explode."

Ron smiled. "I know what you mean. Before I asked Luna out I was the same way. I don't think I could of held in my feelings for her any longer than I did. Its a weird feelings."

"I've never felt this way about anyone before."

"Scary isn't it? To know that someone has such a huge effect on you, and that everything you do from now on will effect them as well."

"I've been through a lot Ron, you know that. I think this is the first time that I am truly scared. What if we do get in a relationship and it doesn't work? What if we can't be friends after its over?"

"What makes you think you two won't work out? I saw the way you two acted this morning. They way you made her tea for her, and the way you just knew she was scared about the article. You two are made for each other."

Harry gave him a nervous smile. "I know."

"Then forget about all your doubts. I will be back later tonight with some more clothes for you. Is there anything else you need?"

"Just one. In my room is a photo album its in my trunk all the way on the bottom. Could you bring that?"

Ron gave him a confused looked but agreed.

Soon after Ron left Hermione received a packages of several new books she was considering adding to the shop.

Hermione squealed with delight as she opened the box and took out the books one by one. Harry sat and watched with joy as he face lit up with each book she pulled out. When she was done taking to books out Harry noticed they where mostly children's books.

"Hermione why did you get some many children's books?"

" When I was younger my mum would take me to a book store around the corner from our house. I loved it there so much. I would go there every Saturday with her and soon I read all the books there. I use to ask the store owner when she was going to get new books, but she rarely did. I guess I just want there to be a lot of books for the kids."

"Makes sense." Harry said with a smile and grabbed one of the books and began reading it to her.

Hermione smiled as she listened to him read the book. It was a wonderful book about a lost kneazle who made friends with a niffler and a hippogriff. The story started out with he niffler and the hippogriff helping the kneazle find its home, but soon turned into their adventure on how they escaped an evil giant name Mort.

"That was a good story." Harry said closing the book and placing it next to Hermione.

"You really liked it?"

"I do. I hope you add it to your shop, I know Jamie would love it."

"I am. Its the first in a series of several. I don't know how many I will write."

" How many YOU will write?" Harry asked looking at Hermione.

Hermione looked up at him. "Did I say that?"

"Yes. Hermione did you write this?"

Hermione blushed. "I did."

"How come you didn't tell me?"

"I don't know." she said with a sigh. "I guess I didn't want you to know that I wrote it until it was published. I was going to tell you when I found out, but I didn't."

Harry flipped the book open and looked the words the she had written and he smiled. "Its a wonderful book. Will you let me read it to the kids one day? Let me introduce the book to them."

Hermione beamed. "Of course. Why don't you read it on Saturday after the apology?"

"Perfect" Harry said as he looked down at the book again. He beamed with pride as he looked at. He was proud of Hermione for writing the book.

"Harry turn it to the first page." Hermione said sounding slightly nervous.

Harry did what she asked and gasped slightly but smiled.

' To Harry and Ron. Thank you for helping me find my way home'

"Is this book about us?" he asked starring at the inscription

" It is. I know I should of asked, but well I just wanted to write about our adventures. I'm sorry." she said.

Harry smiled at her and wrapped his arms around her. " Don't be sorry. I love the book and I know everyone who reads it will be as well."

"I hope people won't realize that it is about us, I think I changed it enough so they won't."

"I didn't know until I read who you dedicated it to. I have to ask, am I the niffler of the hippogriff?

Hermione giggled. " What do you think?"

"Hippogriff."

"Right." she said and grabbed another book and began reading it to him.

The two continued reading all afternoon until Ron joined them just after six. Harry immediately made Ron read the book Hermione wrote.

"I'm not much for reading kids books anymore but this is good. Are you going to add it your shop?"

"I am." Hermione said smiling.

Harry beamed at her. "Ron turn to the first page."

Ron did what he was told and looked rather confused. "Who wrote this? And why did they dedicated it to us Harry?" he asked.

" I did." Hermione said

"Really? Hermione I didn't know you wanted to write."

"I didn't either until a few months ago. I just woke up one morning and wanted to write."

"This is about us then?"

"Yes. Guess what one you are." Harry said with a smile.

"Well it would be nice to be the hippogriff but I know that its Harry. And Hermione has to the kneazle, so that leaves me to be the niffler." he said not sounding to happy about it.

"I'm sorry Ron. I had the hardest time trying to find what creature to make you. I eventually asked Hagrid what kind he though you would be."

"And he though I would be a niffler?"

"Well no, he said pixie. I just couldn't have you be one."

Harry laughed. "Sorry mate! I can't help it."

"I wouldn't laugh if I were you Harry. He though you would make a good leprechaun."

Ron began to laugh as well. " I can see it now! Harry the leprechaun! Giving out fake gold and dacing through the shamrocks!"

Harry frowned slightly and looked at Hermione. "What did he think you would be?"

Hermione looked down at the ground. " A Fwooper."

Ron and Harry both began to laugh. " Isn't that the bird the can drive people insane and can only be kept quite is by a silencing charm?" Ron asked

"Yes." Hermione said turning bright red.

"Its okay Hermione. So we aren't all the creatures we would want to be." Harry said placing his arm around her and pulling her tighly against him.

Ron gave him a look that silently asked 'have you told her yet?'

Harry noticed the look and shock his head 'no'.

ROn knew that it was time for him to leave " Well as much as I would love to stay around I have to get going. I am having dinner with Luna and her dad." he said handing Harry a bag of clothes.

"Thanks for bringing these over." Harry said as he set the bag down on the couch and walked over to the door with Ron.

" You two have a good night." he said and gave them a wink.

Harry laughed and closed the door.

He turned and walked over to Hermione who was now sitting on the floor near the bag Ron had left him. He walled up behind her and noticed she was holding a another book in her hands. He recognized the book, it was his. It was the album Hagrid had given him after first year.

" Harry is this yours?" she asked.

"Yes it is."

"It must of fallen out of your bag. It fell off the couch when Crookshanks jumped up." she said handing it to him.

Harry smiled and sat down on the floor next to her.

"I want to show you something." he said and opend the album.

Allright. there will be one more chapter. I hope you all enjoy it! Thank you for the reviews!!!
