Harry had just finished his last bag of crisps, he took a butterbeer and drained it in one gulp and let out a big "burp". He thought back to a couple hours ago where the best party in the world had taken place. Prof. Dumbledore had transported him to the Weasleys and everyone had been there. The party had been awesome Mr. Weasley had gotten the weird sisters to play and there was dancing. Harry had enjoyed a dance with everyone who was a female and at the party. There were fireworks provided by the twins, spectacular shapes and images had filled the night for hours on end colorful and bright enough to alert neighbors for 50 miles and Harry had started to get worried but then George had told him that his birthday had come out on the fourth of July and everyone thought they were Americans celebrating (a.n.:oK that was totally cheesy but I had to come up with something). The food was amazing Mrs. Weasley had outdone herself this time and gone all out to ensure that no one would walk out with at least an extra couple pounds on them.
Harry had met up with Ron and Hermione at the party and they had seemed in a better mood because of the party. He took them aside into Ron's room.
----------------------------------------------------Flashback-------------------------------------------
"Harry oh my god it's great to see you, how are you?" squealed Hermione running up to him and pulling him into a giant hug.
"I'll be fine Hermione once you take this sleeper hold off me" came Harry's muffled voice from somewhere in Hermione's arms.
"Oops sorry Harry" said Hermione sheepishly dancing away from him "but seriously how are did you get all my letters?"
"Yeah got them all, got to tell you guy's they were a real lifesaver, so thanks for everything," said Harry in a grateful tone.
"Well you're not out of the woodworks yet Harry, you owe us an explanation I believe," said Hermione tapping her foot with her arms crossed.
"Listen guy's I owe you so much, it was because of you that I snapped out of that funk that Sirius's death had put over me. The thing is that I always had the hero complex but now it's different something's changed, and I shut you out so I wouldn't feel guilty if you got hurt" said Harry
"I'm sorry Harry but that's not your decision to make it's ours and believe me we will do what we think is best for your safety and ours" burst out Hermione.
"I understand that now Hermione, and you too Ron that I was wrong but let me tell you of the circumstances which led me to this decision, and don't think I made it lightly either it took me weeks of agonizing for me to make the final decision and it was a mistake and I want to tell you that I deeply regret the day of ever doubting your strength or your loyalty to me. I don't know what I'd do without my friend," said Harry
A half hour later Harry finished talking and there was a complete silence broken only by a small squeak from Hermione. Harry looked at Ron who kept eye contact for a moment then he broke it. Harry pretended it meant nothing but inside it hurt to see his best friend treat him like that after the whole explanation.
"So Harry did Dumbledore start your training?" asked Hermione
"No he left it up to me to take care of it" answered Harry
"What do you mean?" asked Hermione
"Well, I got a letter from Miranda remember her the girl who ratted out the D.A.? Anyway she was apparently very sorry about the whole affair and offered to help me in any way she could so I took her up on the offer and got her to talk to her mother so that if I practice magic she'll know it's me and not report it and –
"But Harry what's there to learn you don't have any books to teach you stuff?" asked Hermione anxiously.
"Here's the beauty of the plan" smiled Harry "I wrote a letter to Madam Pince and she sent me a load of books. You should have seen the amount of owls that came Uncle Vernon nearly had a fit but when warned of the fact that I could use magic he shut up pretty quickly" Harry grinned proudly "what do you guys think?" he asked
"Wow that's amazing you have been doing your homework. I bet you learned tons of new spells and me and Ron sit here all summer long trying to eavesdrop on what's happening, can you believe they still don't let us in on the meetings, but they do throw out details and Lupin fills in the blanks. So tell me Harry what's the most powerful spell you've mastered so far?" asked Hermione her words coming out in one big breath.
"Well I'm not to interested in me right now don't worry Hermione" said Harry hastily "I'll teach you guy's all I know and then we can form the D.A. again when we get back to school. In the meantime I still want to apologize once again to you guy's for sticking by me time after time and as a token of my appreciation I bought you guy's gift's for my lack of being there for you guy's" said Harry.
He took from his pocket two cases he gave one to Hermione and one to Ron.
"Go on open it it's not going to bite" said Harry smiling slightly.
"Wow Harry it's beautiful" exclaimed Hermione "tough I assume they have magical powers".
The watches were dated back to the 18th century. Harry had bought them in an antique store. Ron's was a deep maroon and had runes all over the sides of the watch. Hemione's was a light pink and very delicate looking it also had the same mysterious runes inscribed around the watch. Harry watch was a deep gold with the same runes on the watch.
"Very good Hermione each of your watches is attached to each other and I have one of my own this way if you ever get into trouble or need to contact the other person you speak their name in front of the watch. In turn the recipient will feel a slight buzz to warn him of the contact ant the respective faces of the conversationalists will appear on the screen of the watches," said Harry.
"Where did you get the idea for the watches" asked Hermione curiously.
"Well it was a mixture of the mirror that my dad and Sirius used at school and your idea of the coins last year with the D.A. and then I got Lupin who was there to show me how to do it" said Harry.
"So Ron how's Fred and George's business doing?" asked Harry.
This was the first time that either of them had spoken directly to each other and Hermione held her breath in anticipation of Ron's answer.
"Business is doing well, well they bought me and Ginny new brooms" said Ron
"Really what type" asked Harry curiously.
"A Firebolt" said Ron in a quiet voice.
"Wow that's awesome Ron, and how could you call the Firebolt just a broom you should know better then that" chided Harry.
"Why think you got any riding skills left Harry," asked Ron with a mischievous smile.
"How 'bout a game then to see who's better. Do you think we could get a game together?" asked Harry.
"Oh yeah I'm sure of it, you know I think I heard dad mention once that mad eye used to play I think I'll go round some guys up" said Ron
"Yeah I'll come with you," said Harry
They were about to leave when Hermione called out softly "Harry can I talk to you for a second?"
"Um yeah sure" said Harry "I'll be down in a minute" he said to Ron.
"Aright see you in few" said Ron clattering down the stairs.
From then on Harry knew he had his old friends back. God did it felt good to belong.
"You know I didn't know if you had gotten through to him at first" said a quiet voice by Harry's elbow startling him out his reverie.
"Uh yeah I got a bit scared too there" Harry answered "so what's up Hermione?" he asked turning to face her. Harry got a mild shock, he saw before him a girl that he had never noticed before, this girl was very attractive now that her teeth were normal size and her hair was sleek and straight.
"Hello Harry, space in you look zonked out is something wrong?" asked Hermione.
"No not really I've just figured something out that's shocked me" said Harry.
"What is it?" asked Hermione in concern "are you ill" she put a hand to his forehead. Harry clasped her hand loosely and stepped closer to her and said,
"I'm in love with you Hermione I never noticed till now forgive me but I always knew there was something different about our relationship and I hope you feel the same way about me" said Harry in a whisper.
"Oh Harry this is my wildest dream come true" she jumped on him and wrapped her legs around his waist and brought her head real close to his so close that Harry could see every individual eyelash and said in a throaty whisper "Kiss Me" and Harry did.
That moment seemed to last forever and Harry felt at peace with himself, the world, and anyone and everyone Harry had ever known.
At that moment in time two things happened very far away in a distant place Voldermort roared with fury. The second thing that happened was that behind his drink a certain long white beard twitched violently and a pair of eyes twinkled behind half moon spectacles, and Prof. Dumbledore smiled though in relief or in readiness of another fight with the dark side no one knows.
Harry eventually broke the kiss but the air around the two seemed charged with some type of energy they each looked at one another and smiled shyly.
"What now?" asked Hermione hesitantly
"We wait and when it comes we will face it together," said Harry.
"Come on Harry we're all waiting what are you waiting for?" came a distant shout
Harry grabbed a broom took Hermione put her on it jumped on behind her and they took off through the window into a spectacular sunset with both of them screaming in delight.
---------------------------------End Of Flashback--------------------------------------------
Harry looked at the horizion and took a deepbreath of fresh air he knew that Voldermort was out there looking for, him plotting to kill him.Somehow though this information didn't bother Harry so much anymore as long as he had his friends and Hermione at his side he wasn't scared.It was as if he could hear Hagrid's rough voice in his mind 'what will come willcome all we can do is start preparing as best as you could' and that's what they were doing for make no mistake a war was coming.
