Ok this is the next part, I don't really think I'm doing myself justice with the romantic side of the story; I need some help, any idea? Tell me when you review, and if I do use one I will personally credit that person! Thanks a lot, Oh by the way I just remembered I don't know Harry Potter I only own this plot, don't sue me for the love of god I'm only 15.
Harry was looking foreword to his OWL results, which incidentally were due any day now. When Hermione was not attending to Amara's needs, she too was sitting, rocking back and forth with worry. But it was "obvious that she would ace them" as Harry has said to Ron, when Ron questioned her sanity after she had almost fell off her set every single time an owl flew through the window.
It was 11.00 in the morning on July 30th, and Amara was lying quietly in her crib, yawning every now and again. Harry was playing wizards chess with Ron and Hermione was sipping pumpkin juice and reading the daily prophet. When Minerva McGonagall walked briskly in. Hermione leapt up, spilling Pumpkin juice down her front. Harry handed her a tea towel. Whilst Hermione thanked him looking highly embarrassed. Professor McGonagall just pursed her lips together tightly. "These, are your OWL results, now, I am sure you all achieved your goals" she glared at Harry and Ron before continuing. "The instructions will be in your letters. Along with career suggestions and the suchlike. Now I must be on my way. Good Luck Miss Granger, Mr Potter. Mr Weasley." And without another word she swept like a hawk from the room. Harry Ron and Hermione just stared at each other before ripping the letters ?articleID11244

Harry looked up smiling broadly. Hermione was jumping up and down and Ron look mildly pleased with himself. They had done well enough then
"How many did you guys get then, it's nine over here!" said Harry happily
"Eight, I got an O in Defence thanks to you mate" said Ron smirking
"Twelve!" shrieked Hermione and she swooped upon Harry and kissed him on the cheek. Harry blushed deeply and shifted his weight from foot to foot.
It was July 31st and Harry's birthday. There was a huge celebration going on in the drawing room at Grimmauld Place. It was Harry's first Birthday party, and they had surprised him with a mountain of presents and cake. Harry had almost cried out when he saw everyone celebrating him, and this time, Harry thought they were celebrating him for who he was and not his title of 'boy who lived'
With Amara carefully tucked away in bed. Hermione had a different purpose in mind for
tonight. Hermione wanted a 'more than just friends' dance with Harry.
Harry was beaming. Fred and George had just pulled a prank on Snape (who looked apsolutley repulsded to be here, but he was on Dumbledore's orders) Harry hadn't seen Hermione all evening. She had put AMra to bed and then according to Ginny locked herself in their bedroom and had being saying she was getting ready for over four hours. Since this was a wizarding party evveryone was in their dress robes, Ron looked very nice in a low tinted orange dress robe, he was talking to Tonks and Ginny over by the window.
Harry was just think ing about going to get Hermione when someone swung the door to the drawing room open. It was Hermione. And she looked spectacular, her hair was tied in a gorgeous knot at the back of her hair and she seemed to float when she walked into the room. Her dress robes were sky blue and fitted her curves very well. Harry's eyes widened, he had only ever seen Hermione dressed like this once. Hermione walked over to Harry and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Happy Birthday Harry" she said, very aware that all young eyes were upon her. Harry just stuttered a thank you. Hermione knitted her eyevrows together. "I'm bored Harry. You want to dance with me" she looked down at the floor as she said this, her Gryffindor courage was pretty much used up, But Harry being the gentlemen he is, took her hand and said "You know i'm not very good. Right?"

Hermione's head shot up.' No way did he just accept' she thought to herself. She had
seriously thought he would laugh at her and just walk away, 'but then again' she thought. 'I
don't think that he understands what I want from this.. This is just a friendly dance to
him.... Just friends.'
Harry was leading Hermione over to the Magical Artistry Song Player (MASP for short) The song playing had just finished, Harry's confidence was failing slightly now, and he stumbled over his long wizard robes and blushed deeply. Hermione looked in a state of complete awe, nether realized that a five people were watching them, and the number was growing. As the new song started Hermione instantly recognized it. It was a song by the Rasmus, called In the Shadows. She had heard Harry humming it under his breath a few times before, and she knew it was his favorite song. Harry's hand grazed her hip ad joined with it; he smiled shyly as Hermione put her hands around his neck. And as they looked into each others eyes something sparked. They moved together, without a care, they flowed to the music like one. Together and forever. They didn't notice the gradual mist shrouding them. But they did hear Amara's scream and it slammed them back into reality. Too late for them, they were already gone.
Please think about What I rambled on about at the beginning and also, If your unfamiliar with the rasmus, I don't know whether they have been releasing songs in America. If you want to listen to it search it in google and its the first one, linking dosn't work on here otherwise I would be showing you myself.
