A week had passed and Hermione's parents had no clue about their London adventure. Harry's birthday was two days away.
"So Harry what do you wan to do for your birthday?" Hermione asked sitting next to him at the kitchen table for dinner.
"I don't know, I've never had anyone actually do something for me on my birthday."
"Well, not this year! You re going to be fifteen, we have to celebrate!" Sleep on it, I'm sure you will think of something that you want to do."
"Okay. I will think of something and tell you tomorrow." Harry told her.
"What do you two plan on doing for the rest of the summer?" Mrs. Granger asked.
"We should be getting our school lists soon." Hermione said. "So we will be going to Diagon Ally for some school shopping soon!"
"Our letters usually come a few days after my birthday." Harry announced.
"Well, just let us know when they get here and we will take you to get you school things." Mr. Granger informed them.
There was faint tapping noise at the kitchen window about the sink. A brown owl was waiting to be let in. It had an envelope attached to its leg. Hermione got up from the table and let the owl in. It flew to Harry and landed in his plate of food. The brown owl lifted its leg for Harry to remove the letter from it.
"It's a letter from Ron!" Harry shouted.
Harry,
Hey Mate! Happy birthday! How's the summer at Hermione's going? I'm not sure when we're coming back. Dad is busy with Ministry "top secret" business. Hope to hear from you and Hermione soon!
Your friend,
Ron
P.S. Mum, Dad, Fred, George, and Ginny wanted to wish you a happy birthday!
"I wonder what Mr. Weasley is doing?" Harry said handing the letter to Hermione so she could read it.
"It can't be too bad, if it was I'm sure the whole family would not be have been able to go." Hermione reassured him.
The four went to the living room to watch television after dinner. Harry and Hermione were sitting on a long sofa, while her parents sat on a small two-person couch. They watched a movie about aliens trying to attack the planet. (A/N: No certain movie, just one about aliens attacking earth, you decide what alien movie it is, I personally like Men In Black.)
The movie was over at almost midnight. Mr. And Mrs. Granger went to bed. Hermione and Harry remained in the dimly lighted living room.
"Well, I do not think late night television is very interesting." Hermione stated. They had already flipped through the stations about four times and found nothing worth watching.
"I think you're right. I'm going to bed." Harry yawned.
"Yeah, me too."
Hermione turned the television off. They walked up the stairs, Hermione tailing behind Harry. "Harry has a nice butt, oh my gosh did I Just think that? NO! Stop! Hermione get it together! It's Harry, your best friend."
Harry stopped at the top of the stairs and waited for Hermione. When she got there he wrapped his arms around her and have he a goodnight hug. Hermione could not help but to look over Harry's shoulder and down to his butt. Harry did the same to Hermione. Neither one knowing what the other was looking at. He was about to lower his hand from her waist to her butt, instead caught himself before doing so.
"Goodnight Harry. Think about what you want to do for your birthday."
"Okay, I will. Goodnight Hermione."
They walked off into their own rooms and drifted off into sleep while thinking of each other.
Morning came and everyone in the house remained asleep. Mr. and Mrs. Granger were the first to wake up. Both crept quietly through the house quietly as the got ready for work. Harry woke up right before they were leaving.
"Oh, Harry did we wake you?" Mrs. Ganger asked.
"No, I usually wake up this early." Harry replied.
"Well, we're off to work, think about what you want to do for your birthday." Mrs. Granger told him heading for the front door.
"Goodbye Harry, see you this evening." Mr. Ganger said. Hermione's parents were now gone, he was now left in an empty house with a sleeping Hermione.
Harry went into the living room, situated himself on the couch, and turned on the television. The only thing on worth watching was re-runs of "Different Strokes." (A/N: I heart that show! Whatcha talkin bout Willis? LOL!) About fifteen minutes later Hermione had made her appearance in the living room still in her pajamas and sat next to Harry.
"Don't you look just lovely in your pajamas." Harry teased. "and the hair is just fabulous."
"Very funny Harry." Hermione gave him an evil eye. "So have you figured out what you want to do for your birthday yet?"
"No, but I'm sure that you could help me think of something. What do you usually do for your birthday?"
"When I was little I would have sleepovers with all my school friends. Now, my parents usually take me some place special."
"Sleepover?"
"Yeah, its when you have all your friends spend the night and you stay up late doing all sorts of girlish things."
"Oh, okay." Harry did not quite understand the 'girlish things' part, but thought he was better off not asking.
"Harry I know where you would like to go! It's the happiest place on earth!"
"Where?"
"Disneyland! I went a few years ago, I know you will like it!" (A/N: yea, I know there isn't a Disneyland in England, but there is if I say there is!)
"I've always wanted to go there. The Dursleys went to the one in the United States for vacation one year and I was not allowed to go. (A/N: It was Disney World, not Disney land that they went to) This is going to be so much fun! Thanks for the idea Hermione!"
"No problem, I thought you might like the happiest place on earth."
Harry was filled with excitement for the rest of the day. He could not wait to go to Disneyland. Being able to go with Hermione mad it that much even better and exciting.
When Hermione's parents came home from work they shared their plans with them for Harry's birthday. They had arranged to take off of work for day of Harry's birthday. Everything was set. They would go to London the next day and go to Disneyland to celebrate Harry's fifteenth birthday.
Everyone went to bed that night filled with excitement and anticipation of the following day. Hermione was fast asleep when her bladder woke her up at 1:27 A.M.
"Why must I have to pee in the middle of the night?" Hermione questioned herself.
She got out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom. When she finished and made her way back to bed, but stopped in the hall between her room and Harry's. She heard him moving about and mumbling something. She could not make out what he was saying, so she moved closer and was standing in his doorway.
"Hermione! NO! Don't take her! I love her. No Please, take me instead!" Harry mumbled low enough so only Hermione could hear him. "NO! Hermione I love you, NO Voldemort! Kill me, not her!"
Hermione could not believe what she was hearing come out of Harry's mouth. "Does he really like me as more than a friend?" She quickly erased the thought and woke up Harry.
"Harry, wake up, you're having a nightmare." Hermione shook Harry and sat next to him on his bed. Harry immediately woke up gasping for breath and sweating.
"Hermione! You're okay!" Harry grabbed her and hugged her tightly, not wanted to let go of her body.
"Harry, it was just a dream, chill out."
"Hermione it was horrible, Vole- I mean he-who-must-not-be-named was trying to kill you and I could not stop him." Harry finally let go of Hermione. "How did you know I was having a nightmare?"
"I had to pee, on my way back to bed I heard you mumbling something about he-who-must-not-be-named, and I knew I had to wake you up." "I do not want him to know exactly what I heard him say." Hermione thought. "Are you going to be okay?"
"I think I will, thanks for waking me. It was just a dream, but it seemed so real, I felt so helpless. He was trying to kill you and I could not do a damn think to stop him. I do not want to loose you Hermione."
"Oh my gosh, he really does like me." Hermione thought. "Do you want me to stay with you until you fall back to sleep?" She asked kindly.
"It would be nice, but I don't want you to fall asleep and your parents find us in the same bed again. Don't worry I will be okay now that I know you are safe.
On the inside all Hermione could think is "awww," but managed to tell Harry goodnight. "Okay, goodnight Harry, happy birthday." She then did something totally unexpected to Harry. She have him a kiss, not like the sweet peck on the cheek, but right on the lips.
"G-g-goodn-night." was all he could manage to let out. "Hermione just kissed me, what did I do to get that? I never thought she would like me. Am I dreaming?" Harry had hundreds of thoughts racing through head. Before he could ask her Hermione what the kiss was for she was gone.
"I can't believe I just did that. This is definitely going to be an interesting birthday!" Hermione thought while lying in bed. She and Harry both feel asleep think of the same thing, the kiss that just shared.
I am going to try and get the next chapter up before I leave for vacation. Not sure if I will though. Maybe if I get a bunch of reviews I will. Well, hope you like the story so far! Please Review!
