Harry didn't take Sirius' words too serious. He, however, knew that the anniversary of their official dating was drawing nearer. He would change the subject every time Hermione talked about it. She was thinking about it almost everyday.
She'd ask herself things like 'One year? That's amazing. How did it last so long? Does he love me still? Am I still the only girl in his eyes?'
Hermione was not only worried about her anniversary, she was worried of what to give him.
Harry showed no sign of worrying about his anniversary. Even Ron was starting to get curious.
'Harry, what are you going to do on your anniversary?' he asked.
Harry was silent for a second then, 'Ron, who do you think would be a good captain?'
Harry kept changing the subject when people asked. But it was getting ever so close so he needn't stall no more.
Hermione woke up today and realized it was her and Harry's one year anniversary as a couple.
She was rather disappointed seeing Harry didn't greet last night or at least leave something by her bed. She sighed and got up. She got dressed and went to the Great Hall alone.
Everyone was back by now. All the students didn't have trouble in getting back aside from all the snow.
She sat next to Ron and Lavender. Harry was nowhere to be seen.
'Have you guys seen Harry?' she asked timidly.
Ron shook his head.
'Nope. Haven't seen him since yesterday.' said Lavender. Hermione breathed deeply once Ron and Lavender weren't looking at her anymore.
It was still a holiday so they didn't have classes yet. But it was still not hard to miss Harry when no one's seen him all day.
It was dinner time but Hermione didn't feel like eating. The whole school, however, felt otherwise. They were stuffing themselves. Probably because it was the last day the house elves would be cooking all the Christmas delicacies.
Hermione just stared at her empty plate. She looked out the door just to see if Harry would be coming to dinner. She saw not Harry but Hedwig.
Hermione went out to give her a treat. Hedwig suddenly took Hermione by her robes and pulled her.
'You want me to go with you?' she asked the snowy-white bird.
When she cooed, Hermione took it as a 'yes'.
Hedwig let go of her so she can fly better. Hermione had to run to catch up with her.
Strangely, Hedwig led her to the Fat Lady of Gryffindor Tower.
Hedwig perched herself on top of the painting. Hermione guessed she should go in. She sighed and told the Fat Lady the password. 'Pixie Wings.'
She entered it and the door closed behind her. Nothing really special. She thought for a second Harry remembered.
She was about to sigh when someone put their hands on her eyes as a blindfold.
'Harry?' she asked, hopefully.
No one answered.
'Harry, is that you?'
Still no answer.
She was starting to get a little freaked out now. The person walked forward a bit so that she would, too.
She had two choices, play along and find out who this person was, or just step on this person hard on her/his foot. She decided to play along; after all, this was pretty fun.in a very twisted way.
She walked where the person was taking her. Then the person stopped so did she. The person seemed to move. If Hermione's eyes could be seen, it'd be rolling right now.
She waited for the person to "release" her. The person did no such thing before the person kissed her.
'Alright, that's it.' she said when her mouth was free. 'I'm not playing along anymore.' and with that, she took the person's hand off her eyes and saw..
Hermione saw....
Harry!
Harry's amazing grin and brilliant green eyes. His smile wasn't mischievous; it made her heart skip a beat. She smiled embarrassingly as she had just scolded her boyfriend for kissing her.
He didn't seem to notice her embarrassment; his eyes were dead locked on hers as he held her cheek steady.
He said in the most rugged voice with bits of cuteness, 'Happy Anniversary, Hermione Granger.'
Hermione was all giddy inside but didn't show it. 'Happy Anniversary, Harry Potter.' she said finally, after much smiling and blushing.
Hermione took something out from her pocket and gave it to Harry. It was a watch with a chain (or pocket watch.) He opened it in front of her and it revealed their picture and the time, which was now 8:17pm.The picture had the two of them, it wasn't a muggle picture, it was a wizard's one. Harry was beaming at himself as he smiled with Hermione in the picture.
'I've always had it since I could remember. Well, of course after we got together. But I'd like you to have it. It kind of makes me think of my love for you.' she said.
Then she giggled at what she just said. 'Yeah, that was corny, way too.' she began but was cut off by Harry's finger on her lip.
'I love it.' he said, smiling gratefully.' Now here's my present.' he said as he pointed at a tree close by.
Hermione didn't notice she was outside.' How did we get outside?' she asked Harry.
'We didn't.'
'Then what's with the tree?'
'My present. It took me a whole week to do this. I asked the little fairies if they'd help me conjure up a nice green place on January.' he said.
Then it became clear to Hermione. They were in Gryffindor's hidden chamber.
Hermione smiled as she couldn't believe it.
'Now, fairies, if you please.' said Harry to the dark room.
Suddenly, light began to grow from the tree. It was a very beautiful sight. Fairies were flying here and there with their glimmering bodies, light coming from fireflies, both of which provided amazing scenery.
There was a sheet of cloth and a picnic basket on top of it. Hermione felt relieved to see food as she didn't really have much today.
There were flowers by the side. Hermione was surprised that Harry could come up with something so beautiful.
They sat down and ate muggle-style. The whole time Hermione was smiling.
Then when they finished, Harry and Hermione lied down on the sheet of clothing.
Actually, it seemed more like a blanket. Harry put his arm around her and she rested her head on his chest.
Harry saw Hermione's eyes closed and he kissed her lightly on her head. He Whispered, 'I love you.' in her ear, knowing she was awake.
She opened her eyes and looked at his emerald ones. She didn't need to say it; they both knew she loved him back.
Hermione might very well lose something tonight. And the strange thing was, she didn't mind as long as it was Harry.
But he, surprisingly, knew better and stopped there before he couldn't.
Hermione was happy either way.
The next day, Harry and Hermione woke up bright and early. They had classes now.
They went to the Great Hall for breakfast. As they sat, mail arrived by the hundreds of owls dropping letters, packages and Daily Prophets.
Hermione got her newspaper and her eyes widened with disbelief.
Harry saw this and went over to read it with her.
MUGGLES DIE AT HANDS OF EVIL WIZARDS
A muggle couple on Banyan Drive were killed by one of the Unforgivable curses, the worst one, Avada Kedavra.
The Ministry of Magic arrived too late at the scene to stop the dark wizard who did it.
There were no muggle witnesses but there was a paper fond on one of the bodies. It had the dark mark.
There are some rumors that state He-Who-Must-Be-Named is involved here. Some say it was one or more of his Deatheaters.
We don't know for sure now.
Will we find out when they strike again?
Dorothy Day
Harry remembered where Hermione lived, Banyan Drive.
Tears ran down her cheeks. The people could very well be her parents.
******** I love evil cliffys!!
