A/N: Hello! Love to all my reviewers! I love to put cliffhangers! Because I love to keep you all in suspense. Ha! I am so evil.

Warning, there is some sexual content in this chapter, and I have made some changes from the book into my fanfictional world.

Sorry for the long update. I found out that a certain sister has been keeping me from writing. How dare she!



OK back to the story.

Chapter 14: Midnight Flight.


Harry POV

I took Hermione's hand in mine as we walked down and out the 2 front doors of the Great Hall.

"Harry, were going to miss dinner." Hermione said behind me.

"Don't worry about it." I said after her.

We walked out of the front door and out onto the Hogwarts grounds. The grass swept against our feet as we continued walking out into the open. The air was cool as the sun began to set leaving the sky in a red and orange painting. The fresh air blew in through my hair, pulling it back in the wind.

"Harry will you please tell me where we are going?" Hermione asked.

"You will see when we get there." I said.

I led her to the Quidditch pitch and stopped in the middle of the field. Hermione turned to look at me with a puzzled face.

"Harry, what on earth are we doing here? You know I can't fly a broom and have no ability whatsoever in Quidditch." She said.

I didn't answer her. Instead I fumbled inside my robes and pulled out what looked like a miniature broom. I laid it on my hand grabbed my wand with my other. "Engordio." I muttered and the small broomstick that once laid in my hand turned into my firebolt.

"Harry," Hermione started.

I mounted my broomstick and ushered Hermione to get on behind me.

"Harry," Hermione said again.

"Common Hermione, my Firebolt isn't going to bite you."

"Harry you know I hate flying." Hermione finally managed.

"Common Hermione, you know that I won't hurt you or let you fall off." I said.

"But Harry," Hermione started again.

"Common 'Mione. For me? Please." I was now begging her.

"Well, alright, but don't go so fast." Hermione gave in and got on.

I felt her hands slip around my waist and her head fell against my shoulder. I kicked hard off the ground and soared into the air. Hermione clung onto me and I heard her say under her breath "Just don't look down. Don't look down." Laughed to myself and flied forward over the castle roof. I looked down at all the student hurrying inside the castle for dinner.

We soared over the trees of the forbidden forest but Hermione still clung onto me refusing to look around. I pulled up higher than ever so that Hogwarts looked like a small house. I went higher and touched the wet clouds.

"Ok Harry what is the point of this?" Hermione shouted from behind me.

"Don't worry, ok?" I assured her.

"Ok." Hermione said, but she still didn't loosen her grip on me.

I started to descend down back to the ground, but I didn't go to the Quidditch pitch. I headed towards the roof of the castle. I landed on a small landing on top of the charms classroom. Hermione still didn't let go of me once me feet hit the floor.

"Hermione, you can let go of me now." I said.

Hermione's eyes fluttered open and she looked around at where we were. "Oh." She jumped. Slowly she swung her leg over the broomstick and stood on the roof of Hogwart's. I didn't shrink my broom back inside my robes; instead I swung it over my shoulder and led Hermione around a corner of the roof.

Hermione let out another startled "oh!" once she was surround with loud cheers of "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HERMIONE!"

Ron, Lavender, Parvati, Paige (Hermione's Leprechaun), Sean (Ron's), and Amber (mine.) There was a huge blanket spread out and Lavender had managed to find a charm spelling 'Happy Birthday Hermione' I color changing words above everyone's heads. On the blanket, a large spread of food and drinks were spread out.

I pushed Hermione towards everyone who hadn't said anything but just put her hands over her mouth which had a smile underneath it.

"So much for hanging out with Sean and Amber huh?" Paige said.

"You guys!" Hermione bursted out. "Thank you so much, but you didn't have to do this."

"You don't have to thank us, it was Harry who planned the whole thing."

Hermione looked over at me and just smiled. I saw her lips mouth the words 'thank you'. I sat down next to Ron and the 3 leprechauns who were devouring mashed potatoes.

"Great job mate." Ron said next to me. "Where did you take her flying, we saw you guys go above the castle."

"Yeah, I took her above the forbidden forest and above the clouds a little, but she didn't open her eyes. She just clung onto me." I said.

"Ah, don't let it get you down." Ron said.

"It didn't, not for later." I said. "Have any problems getting up here?"

"Naw, everyone was ok except the three little guys, Sean almost fell off the broom so Paige grabbed him and he held on for dear life until we got on the roof." Ron answered. "Wait, what do you have planned for later?"

"Ron, don't you remember what I told you in Defense against the Dark Arts?" I asked.

"Um, no?" Ron answered.

"God you pathetic." I shook my head.

"Common Harry, tell me!" Ron begged.

I just ignored Ron's begging and helped myself to dinner like everyone else.


Hermione's Surprise Party was better than I had planned. Everyone was having a good time laughing and joking around. Although it got a bit too serious when Ron thought it would be funny to hang Neville over the side of the castle. Lavender and Parvati were talking to themselves and sometimes spend to Hermione or me jabbering away.

A while later, everyone settled down as one by one, Hermione opened her presents. Ron gave Hermione a new set of Quills and Inks. Lavender and Parvati got her some new Dress Robes. ("Not that your old ones weren't bad or anything Hermione.") Amber, Paige, and Sean all got together and made a picture frame that held Hermione, Ron, Paige, Sean, Amber, and me in it. Neville on the other hand seemed to forget to bring his gift and said that he would give it to Hermione tomorrow in Herbology.

After about 2 hours of talking and laughing, Ron flew everyone down, Hermione and I however stayed up.

I grabbed my Firebolt again and we both got on. Hermione held onto me tight again and refused to look down, or open her eyes to that matter. I pulled around the back of the school and over the forest again.

"Hermione, will you please open your eyes?" I decided to ask.

"Harry, please don't make me." Hermione said behind me.

"Just once." I pleaded.

"Ok, but just for a minute." Hermione said.

I looked behind me as Hermione opened her eyes for the first time on my broom. She looked around She looked up at me and smiled.

"It isn't as bad as I thought it would be." Hermione smiled.

"I told you that you have nothing to worry about with me." I said.

Shortly I dived down to a small opening on the edge of the lake. I landed on the soft patch of grass and felt the air, brush up against my skin and fly though my hair.

"Now what are we doing here?" Hermione asked as I shrunk my Firebolt again and stick it inside my robes.

"Don't you know where we are?" I asked taking her hand in mine.

"Um, by the Great Lake?" Hermione answered.

I laughed to myself. "Close, this is where we were when Malfoy attacked me." I answered for her.

"It is?" Hermione looked around.

"Yeah." I said, pulling Hermione closer towards me.

"Harry," Hermione said in a soft voice.

"Hermione, I have something for you, your real birthday present." I said. I reached into my robes and pulled out a small box. I lifted the box open and inside, it revealed a small golden necklace. Hanging on the necklace was a small golden heart. On the front of the heart was a two heads. Hermione and mine's, underneath Hermione's it read breathless and under mine it read romantic. On the back of the necklace it read, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger.

"Harry, what is it?" Hermione asked at once who had her hands in front of her mouth.

"It's an Emo-Teller. It tells both of our emotions. So even though I am not with you, you'll be able to tell what I am feeling."

I pulled the necklace out of the box and walked behind Hermione and attached the necklace around her neck.

"Harry, I don't know what to say." Hermione managed.

"Well, for starters, a simple thank you would be nice, but I think that from your expression, it wouldn't cover it." I said.

Hermione just smiled at me. "Harry you know you didn't have to do this."

"Oh, but I had to. Because what would I be if I acted like my girlfriend didn't turn 16?" I said.

"You're right, I'm 16 now aren't I? And today I almost forgot my own birthday." Hermione laughed.

I just smiled down at her. "Well common 'Mione, we better get back to the Castle, it is getting late." I said.

I started to walk back towards the castle when I noticed Hermione wasn't following me. I turned back to look at her.

"'Mione, what is it?" I asked.

"The last time we were here, I remember that we got interrupted." Hermione said walking towards me.

"Yeah, damn Draco and that stupid bitch." I said softly.

"Well," Hermione said. She was nearly touching me now. Her head was tilted up so that she could still see me. Her eyes were sparkling against the reflection of the moon. Her hair was pulled back in the cool wind. Hermione looked like a fairy tale princess.

I bent forward and felt my lips touch hers. My eyelids seem to drop on their own. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her forward. I felt Hermione's arms slid around my neck, her soft skin against mine.

My lips parted and she let me gain entry to her mouth. I seemed to be moving on my own as my tongue slipped inside her mouth. I couldn't even begin to describe the feeling. It was like Hermione had cast a spell on me and I was on autopilot. I felt a special feeling run up and down my body.

Is this what Love felt like?


A/N: For Everyone's information if you didn't already know this, Hermione's birthday is on September 1st even though it never says it in the books.
