Hullo Everyone! I got two reviews but who cares, at least I got some! Well you all know that I don't own anything so what's with the hold up? (Looks out of car window and a heard of sheep go past) huh, go figure.

When Hermione reached the 3rd chapter in her Transfiguration book Caden came and knocked on her door.

"Hermione are you ready?" asked Caden.

"Yeah, hold on one second. I'll be down soon." Said Hermione putting her book down.

She heard Caden running down the steps and she walked over to her make-up mirror and found her everlasting lip-gloss she was going to put that over her chapstick. When she was done she met everyone down stairs.

"I'm sorry I took so long, I was reading." Said Hermione, heat rushing to her cheeks again.

Harry smiled and waited for her to go out until he closed the door. They walked over to a very big hill down the street from Harry's house. Hermione noticed that they had two sleds.

"Ok, Hermione you're on my team. Caden and Annabelle have their team. You see every year we have a race to the bottom. Alyssa stood at the bottom and waved a flag, now it's just us so we have teams. Here you get on first." Said Harry, holding the sled steady.

Hermione cautiously got on and held on to the leather ropes that were on the front. Harry climbed on and put his hands around her.

"Ok, dad ready!" Caden called, his cheeks pink with cold. Annabelle had a very red nose and she could barely move with all of the clothes she had on.

Harry gave the thumbs up and they pushed off. They cold wind cutting at their faces as they raced to the bottom. Harry continued to hold on, not letting go until their sled reached the bottom and flipped over.

Harry landed on top of Hermione and he looked straight into her eyes.

"Gosh Hermione, you are so beautiful!" said Harry, his face coming closer to hers.

His warm lips touched hers and she almost melted. Fireworks were going off in her head, she wrapped an arm around his neck and the other was playing with his hair. They had no idea where the kids were and at that moment they didn't care, they were too caught up in themselves. Harry licked her bottom lip, she smiled and allowed him inside. His tongue explored her mouth, going over every tooth and battling with her own. Finally they broke apart for air.

"Wow!" exclaimed Hermione.

"Well looks like I still have it." Said Harry, his cheeks pink with cold and heat all at once.

Caden and Annabelle who had been watching from afar came walking over in the thick snow.

"Is there anything that you would like to discuss before we carry on? Or am I going to have to tell grandma?" Caden asked, smirking.

"Don't even think about it mister." Said Hermione throwing a snow ball at his face.

"No fair, I wasn't ready." Said Caden, grabbing another ball and throwing it, missing Hermione but getting Harry in the chest.

Harry turned around and ran towards Caden and began throwing snow at him. Caden had just started a snow war. They played all afternoon until Annabelle's cheeks were too pink and she started crying. Hermione picked her up and took Harry's hand.

They walked back home and Harry started a fire while Hermione peeled Annie and herself out of their sweaters and boots.

"That's better now isn't it. Caden do you need any help?" asked Hermione.

"No, I think I got it. Dad can we have lunch now? I'm totally starving!" exclaimed Caden, sitting down next to Hermione and Annabelle.

"Sure thing. Hermione do you want to come and help me?" asked Harry, his eyes flashed with glee. Caden didn't notice.

Hermione got up and walked into the kitchen, where Harry locked the door.

"Do you like me, or do you just think I'm pretty?" asked Hermione.

"All of the above. I take it you feel the same way." Harry stated taking things out of the cabinet.

"Of course I do. I was so jealous of Alyssa, how she got you first and I didn't have the chance. I've always liked you. Why do you think I jumped at the chance to work at Hogwarts? It was so that I could be closer to you." Said Hermione.

Harry took Hermione in his arms and kissed her softly.

"I know it's soon to have another girlfriend right after Alyssa's death, but I can't help it. I want to be with you more than anything." Harry whispered and he kissed Hermione again, but this time more passion and feeling.

"We should start making lunch." Said Hermione, not wanting to stop but she had to.

"Alright. How about we make, goulash." Said Harry, getting out a big pot.

"What's that?" asked Hermione.

"It's soup that has beef, carrots, onions, potatoes, chicken, rice, and tomatoes. I learned it from Mrs. Weasley when I last visited her a long time ago." Said Harry, getting the ingredients.

Hermione stuck her wand into the pot and began to stir it around and a creamy substance began to fill the pot. She turned on the stove and began to stir. Harry cut up the foods and dropped them in.

"What should we get to drink? I don't have any butterbeer right now and we're out of milk because of this morning and Annabelle is allergic to orange juice." Said Harry.

"How about I go and get us some pumpkin juice? And then I can get more milk and more butterbeer. They sell that in a new store in Diagon Alley." Said Hermione, cleaning off her hands.

"Are you sure you want to go? I mean I wouldn't want you to get sick or something." Said Harry.

"Are you always this sweet or is it just because you know that I like you?" asked Hermione, going into the living room to put on her shoes.

"What did I do? I'm always like this. Are you going to torture me because you know that I like you?" Harry called after her.

Caden had bought Extendable Ears from Zonko's and listened to the whole thing in the kitchen and now there were things called google vision. It allowed you to see things that were behind closed doors, very much like Extendable Ears. He was smiling with joy at what they had done.

"No Harry, that's totally wrong. I'm not going to make you suffer and maybe I will. Bye, don' forget to check the stew." Said Hermione, kissing his cheek and walking out.

After she left, Harry stood there feeling dazed. He had totally forgot that he had children.

"Hello dad! We're still here you know." Said Caden, waving his arms about.

"Sorry kids. I'll go and check on lunch." Said Harry running into the kitchen.

Harry went into the kitchen and had to have a seat. Hermione was mind blowing.

'I'm sorry for loving her Alyssa. I'll always love you too.' Harry said to his heart where Alyssa was.

A bright light appeared and from that light came the minuet ghost of Annabelle. (Not too unusual, this is the magic world after all.)

"Alyssa?" asked a scared Harry.

"It's me darling. But I'm only here for a little while. I heard what you said and I'm happy that you like her." Said Alyssa.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, I knew you were lonely and the kids couldn't grow up without a mum and I knew how much Hermione liked you so I sent her to you."

"She makes me so happy again. But I can't..."

"It's ok to love her Harry. I love her for making you and my children happy. Just be happy, all will be better later. I love you and don't forget that." Said the Alyssa disappearing.

Harry heard a bubbly noise and turned to see the stew. He quickly ran over and stirred it. Hermione came back moments later with more than she set out to buy. Hermione had cookie mix, brownie mix, chocolate syrup, ice cream, milk, butterbeer, pumpkin juice and other stuff.

"Hermione what's all that stuff for?" asked Caden, playing with Annabelle.

"It's for having fun. Lunch is almost done ok sweetie." Said Hermione, going through the swinging kitchen doors.

(Kitchen)

"Ok, I got everything you asked for and some extra stuff. I forgot to tell you, during the Granger Christmas we make cookies or brownies and eat lots of ice cream!" said Hermione putting the stuff in the freezer and in the cabinets. And she walked over to Harry.

"You are one very strange person sometimes you know that, wonderful kisser, but strange." Said Harry, putting his arms around her waist.

"Why thank you very much. I shall try my hardest to keep up with my reputation." Hermione said smiling.

Finally it was time to eat lunch. Hermione had warmed some left over chicken noodle soup and rice for Annabelle since she only had 7 teeth.

"Come on Caden sweetheart, it's time to eat!" called Hermione, pouring some soup into three bowls.

Caden came whizzing in and plopped down at the table. Hermione noticed Annabelle wasn't with him and she went over to the living room to find her. Annabelle was playing with her alphabet blocks and trying to sing the words. Hermione picked her up and carried her to the kitchen.

"Minny ABC!" exclaimed Annie.

"Very good, with just a bit more practice I think you shall have that song memorized." Hermione said.

Annabelle clapped her hands and waited to eat. Harry placed the bowl on her high chair table and she began to pick at it. He watched to see if she liked it and thank goodness she did. Hermione put down Caden and Harry's bowls and then she got hers.

Harry then noticed that they didn't have any cups.

"Accio cups." Said Harry and four cups came and rested at each place.

"Accio pumpkin juice." Hermione said and four pumpkin topped bottles came and rested at each place next to the cups.

Hermione poured Annie's for her and then she poured her own. She was right, she'd make a great mum.

"Thanks, dad thanks Hermione." Said Caden, happily eating his soup.

"No problem. After lunch, you can go over to Will's house. He came home from school last night." Said Harry, winking at Hermione who flushed pink.

"Wicked! I haven't seen Will since he went off to boarding school. And I can't tell him about Hogwarts right?" asked Caden.

"Right, no telling muggles about Hogwarts. And no using magic out of school, other wise you could get expelled." Said Hermione.

"Ok. Let me clean my bowl and cup and then put on my outside stuff and then I will go." Said Caden, getting up.

Annabelle clapped her hands again and flung her fork at the wall. Harry had to take her upstairs with a bottle for her afternoon nap. While he was up there, Hermione put the dishes into the dishwasher and then she went over to the couch and fluffed her hair and added more lip-gloss. Harry came down moments later.

"So what do you want to do? Caden's gone, Annie's asleep and well there's the fire and blankets and there's you and me." Harry said seductively.

Hermione motioned for him to come and sit next to her. He walked over happily.

"So are we officially boyfriend and girlfriend now?" asked Hermione.

"If you want to be." Said Harry, planting his lips on Hermione's and taking her in.

Harry licked her bottom lip and she let him in, he lined her teeth with his tongue and he pulled her into his lap. Hermione wrapped one arm around his back and the other lightly holding his head there. Harry started to stand and he picked Hermione up and wrapped her legs around his waist while he walked up the steps. Harry opened his room door to expose a white bed, red and goldenrod walls, red carpet, a big window with goldenrod curtains and two wardrobes.

Finally they pulled away for air. Hermione looked at Harry and smiled. They were still standing in the doorway, well rather Harry was standing because he was still holding Hermione.

"Your room is nice. Alyssa let you paint it your house colors?" asked Hermione as she slowly got down.

"Well the goldenrod is for both of our houses and the red is for mine. Why are you smiling?" asked Harry, looking at Hermione who couldn't stop smiling.

"I'm smiling because I've never been so happy in my entire life. You make me the most happiest person." Said Hermione, going over to Harry and giving him a hug.

"I haven't been this happy either in a year. What do you want to do now?" asked Harry, resting his chin on top of her head.

"We could watch a movie or we can make a cake or something." Said Hermione thoughtfully.

"How about we do both. While the cake is baking we can watch a movie." Said Harry.

"Great idea. Let's go!" exclaimed Hermione taking his hand and running down the steps.

(Kitchen 5 min later)

"Sweetheart pass me the sugar please." Said Hermione who was trying to stir the creamy batter.

"In a moment, I'm trying to figure out how much sugar to put in." said Harry, looking at the tiny black letters.

Hermione went over to help him and then used the cup herself, stirred for a few more moments and then put the batter into a circle pan. Harry did the same to his. They were making a two layered cake. When they were finished they cleaned up and went to go and sit on the couch. They picked to watch one of Caden's movies called 'Sherry Lotter'.

It's about this girl who lives her life until she's 11, the whole while she thinks she's a witch but actually she's only a Muggle and she has to go to the big school to learn how to be one, Vontrapp school of muggles and Muggle history. The movie was kind of boring so Harry and Hermione found something else to occupy themselves.

They played 'Wizards' chess. Harry was leading by a lot.

"Pawn to C3," Said Harry. "I believe that's check."

"Queen to H4." Said Hermione hoping that was a good move.

Her queen crushed Harry's knight.

"You shouldn't have done that my love because see now I have the right to check your queen with my pawn." Said Harry a triumphant smile on his face.

Harry's pawn moved in front of her queen and Harry simply said, "Check mate."

The queen dropped her deadly septar. And the game was over.

"You think you're so perfect now right?" asked Hermione a smile on her face.

"Well of course I'm perfect. I have a son and a daughter, I play quidditch, I've been married, look at my house and I have the most beautiful girlfriend ever." Said Harry, pulling Hermione into his lap.

"Is that so?" asked Hermione.

"Yes that's so." Said Harry, giving Hermione a small kiss right when Caden walked in with Will.

Harry winced and looked around. Hermione smiled and stood up.

"Hi Caden." Said Hermione, trying to fix her hair and clothes.

"Hi Hermione. This is my friend Will, he goes to Smeltings and only comes home for the holidays." Said Caden, happily.

"Hi Will nice to meet you." Hermione said, extending her hand.

"And Will this is Hermione Granger, she teaches at my school and she's my dad's new girlfriend." Said Caden. Hermione blushed.

"Hullo. Hi Mr. Potter, sorry about Alyssa." Said Will.

"Hi Will. And guys if you go upstairs please try to keep the noise down because (baby cries). Never mind she's awake." Said Harry going up the steps.

"Your dad and I made a cake after you left, it's still in the oven though. When it's done do you guys want to help decorate it?" asked Hermione, picking up the chess pieces exposing her cleavage.

"Um, sure Ms. Granger." Said Will not being able to take his eyes away.

"No, please call me Hermione. You don't have to be so formal." Said Hermione putting the pieces away as Harry walked down the steps with Annabelle.

"Will this is my baby sister Annabelle. She just turned one a week ago." Said Caden, happily.

"She's cute, but that odor isn't." said Will holding his nose.

"I'll change her. I'll be back guys." Said Hermione taking Annabelle and kissing Harry softly.

Caden was so happy. They were actually kissing, now he needed to get his dad to love her and then he would have a mom and she'd have Harry and the kids. Caden and Will ran into his room, somewhere on the other side of the house. A few seconds after Harry heard a door close loud music filled the house. Hermione came back with Annabelle all nice and clean.

"Daddy yah poo poo." Said Annabelle, extending her arms to him.

Harry took her and sat down on the floor and watched her crawl all over. Then she came back and went over to Hermione. They both went over to sit next to Harry.

"Isn't she the sweetest baby you've ever seen?" asked Harry as Annabelle turned her head and her blond curls bounced.

"She is adorable. If I have a daughter I hope she looks like Annabelle but with darker hair. I like the blond but I'd be interesting to see a different color." Hermione said, putting hair behind her ear.

Harry smiled at her and she smiled back and then three bells rung. One was the cake, second the front door, and third the phone. Harry ran to the phone and Hermione used her wand to take the cake out and then she ran to the door.

"Hello." Greeted Hermione.

"Hi. Is this the residence of the Potter's?" asked a Short skinny lady with silver braces.

"Yes this is the right house. How can I help you?" asked Hermione.

"I have a package here for, Harry, Caden and Annabelle."

"I'll take them." Said Hermione, signing a paper and then taking the packages and putting them in the living room.

Harry was still on the phone talking to Sue, Alyssa's mom.

"Yes mum, we got the parcels. Thank you, yes we'll send you both one too. And I'll send you pictures as soon as I can. Yeah, bye mum." Said Harry hanging up the phone.

"You did get them right babe?" asked Harry as Hermione walked over.

"Of course I did baby. I'll go get the boys, they said they wanted to help decorate the cake. Caden's room is the one with the dark blue door right?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah."

Hermione walked away, she walked perfect almost like a model on the catwalk for a fashion shoot. Harry loved the way her hair swished side to side. Alyssa's did that too, but not so much swish. Harry was slowly falling in love with Hermione, but he didn't know it yet.
