Finding love where it has always been.
Chapter 7 Letters again – Part one
The next day when Harry awoke the first thing he saw was Hermione fast asleep on the sofa opposite his and Crookshanks at her feet. He looked over at her and realized, he's now more confused than ever. Since he now remembered and understood their bond, he's not sure he loves her. Or he loves her, she is his friend, but he's not in love with her. If that makes sense at all.
He needed to get out of there. He could not face her now, not until he knew and understood his feelings towards her completely, without any doubt. He quickly searched for a pen and some paper and scribbled a note that read;
Hermione I'm sorry I could not stay, but I needed to get out of here. I need to clear my head, rearrange my thoughts and take a breather. Sorry again I could not stay! Harry PS Don't be concerned about me, I'll be fine. You just make sure you and your parents are alright.
When he finished writing the note, he folded it up and put it in her hand. With that he walked over to the fireplace, reached into his pocket and pulled out the floo powder. He took a hand full, threw it in the fire, stepped forward and said, "Dursley's home".
Harry felt the familiar tuck at his stomach then he started to spin. Round and round and round and round. Then at last he was spit out of the Dursley's fireplace. "Where were you boy?! Your poor Aunt was worried sick about you!" his uncle shouted. "Not now I don't want to talk about it." Was all that Harry said as he walked up the stairs to his bedroom. "You come back here!" shouted uncle Vernon.
Harry ignored him and just kept walking. When he reached his bedroom door, he opened it, walked straight to his bed and collapsed onto it. That's when he noticed the letters. There was a new one. One from Ron and the one from Hermione he hadn't read yet.
Harry sat up and took Hermione's letter in his hand and just stared at it. Then he remembered. He had written to Hermione to ask if she still wanted to move in with him. He actually convinced himself not to move in, in the letter. He told her about Ron who would not always be there and that it would just be them alone most of the time. He told her about the dangers there would be to live with him, since He Who Must Not Be Named is still out there as well as some of his followers. But secretly he did not care about any of that. She was the best friend he had ever had and he was not letting something as simple as Ron not being there ruin their chances of moving in together and becoming even closer. She is his best friend for God's sake and Ron as well. He wants to live with both of them but somehow he knows he won't be able to.
Harry Potter had made up his mind, he was going to read the letter and see what his fate will be. Will he be destined to live alone or with the two people he cared most for?
Harry took one more look at the unopened letter and started unfolding it. He couldn't help but smile at her poor handwriting. She had obviously written it very fast. He took a deep breath and started to read;
Dear Harry
I am fine and you? What is all this talk about us not moving in together anymore? Of cause I still want to move in with you! Just because Ron won't be there everyday doesn't mean I won't still move in with you. I mean you won't even be there everyday and neither will I. And Harry if I minded the danger I wouldn't still be friends with you and you know that.
Just one thing Harry. Don't you want us to move in together? Cause if you don't I'll understand. It really did sound in your letter as if you didn't want to live with me and Ron. And no offense towards Ron I really don't want to live with just Ron. You know how much we fight! Harry no matter what you decide I am still moving into that apartment and I hope you and Ron will be there as well.
OK of to another subject. Since the holidays just started my mom and I were wondering if you would like to come and stay with us for a few days. My parents really want to get to know you a little better before we actually moved in together. And yes I know you have been at my house a lot already but please if not for my mom, do it for me. Just humor them. I am their only child and believe it or not they do worry about me and you.
Please let me know if and when you are coming so we can get the extra room ready for you. And if you like we can even ask Ron to come with. Hope to see you soon!
Love Hermione
Harry was ecstatic. They were all moving in together. That is if Ron's letter said the same as Hermione's. Harry smiled to himself and refolded the letter. He put it on the bed and then picked up Ron's letter. "Harry dear, its dinner time, come down and eat." Harry's aunt called from the bottom of the stairs. "You to Dudley dear." "Coming aunt Petunia." Harry called back. He put the letter back on his bed, stood up and walked to the door. As he stepped outside his room he quickly shut his door just incase Dudley might wander past his room and see the letters on his bed. Harry walked down the stairs and into the kitchen sat own and began to eat. He was going to have to read Ron's letter later.
