Ron came home and kissed his wife. "So what's the important news?"
"You will have to ask Hermione. But guess what I found out?"
"What?"
Luna leaned in and whispered into his ear. "Hermione still loves Harry."
"That's great, I guess. But what about Harry and Ginny's relationship?"
Luna raised an eyebrow. "You will have to ask Hermione."
"Well, can you get Hermione and Raven, dinner is here."
Luna walked down the hall. "Yes dear."
Luna knocked on the door which red "Princess within"
"Raven, Hermione, dinner."
Hermione opened the door. She was wearing a tiara and many colored clips in her hair. Glitter was on each cheek and a bright pink lipstick was painted on her lips. Many plastic necklaces hung around her neck and pink plastic rings were on her pinkies. She had traded her trainers for a pair of plastic heels that only two toes could fit into, three if you want to squeeze.
Luna chuckled. "Oh you look gorgeous Princess Hermione."
"Where is your bathroom?"
"Down the hall to your left."
"Thanks."
Hermione kicked the shoes off and hurried toward the bathroom.
Luna looked for her daughter and found her wearing a ballet tutu and a tiara. She was putting lipstick on her cheek and glitter on her other cheek.
"Look at my beautiful princess."
Raven beamed.
"Let's go show Daddy."
Raven put down her makeup. "Okay."
Luna grabbed her daughters hand and they walked into the kitchen.
Ron set out the food and 3 plates for the adults and a child's plate for Raven. Luna rubbed her stomach. "Look at your princess Daddy."
Ron turned around to see a giggling Raven. "Wow, you are so beautiful. Did the little princess wash up for dinner?"
She eagerly shook her head no.
"Well run along now, princesses don't eat with dirty hands and faces."
She nodded before running toward the nearest bathroom. Hermione entered the room and Ron began to laugh. Hermione was not wearing the shoes or tiara and the makeup had been washed off. But the multicolored hair clips remained in her curly locks and the plastic jewelry remained in place.
"Shove it Ron. I was playing with Raven."
"I am laughing because it wasn't me this time."
Luna and Hermione looked at him and began to laugh.
"Let's sit down and eat." Ron sat down in his seat and began to serve to everyone."
"Daddy I am back, is this clean enough for a princess?" Raven held up her hands.
"Yup."
Raven sat in her seat and grabbed a piece of chicken that was already cut up for her.
"Princesses use forks." Luna smiled.
Raven grabbed her fork and continued eating.
"So, with out further adieu….what is this important thing you wanted to tell me?"
Hermione looked at Ron. "Harry and Ginny broke up today because Ginny confessed she had cheated on him. She picked the other guy over Harry."
Ron dropped his fork. "Ginny cheated on Harry…with who?"
Hermione moved some food around on her plate. "Draco Malfoy."
Luna dropped her fork this time. "I didn't know it was with Draco."
Ron looked angry. "How….can…Harry….Draco….no."
"Honey, there is nothing to do now but eat dinner."
"I was going to visit Harry later tonight. I think he will need some company to cheer him up."
Ron nodded. "Good idea. You should go after dinner."
"Where did Ginny go?" Luna poured Raven some milk.
"To the Malfoys."
Ron swallowed his food and then looked at Hermione. "I can not believe her."
Hermione put a forkful of salad into her mouth.
Ron shook his head. "I never thought…this is crazy!"
"Calm down Ronald." Luna continued eating.
"You're right, you're right. So Hermione, what day do you graduate? Maybe we can go."
"June 3."
"Mark it down Luna, we are going to be there." Hermione smiled.
"We should tell Harry to go." Luna smiled.
Hermione blushed.
"You should tell Harry when you go visit him tonight. Tell him you love him."
"I love Uncle Harry." Raven shouted.
Luna smiled. "It will make him feel better."
"Don't you think this is all happening a little too fast? He just found out about Ginny an hour ago."
"True. But you should anyway." Ron threw his wand into the air as if it were a baton. He was already done eating.
Hermione blushed. "I can't tell Harry now. I just came to town and just realized these feelings."
"It's alright. I have a feeling Harry likes you too."
"Hermione smiled. "You do?"
Ron nodded.
"I wanna see Uncle Harry."
"I know hun."
Raven got angry. "But I want to see Uncle Harry now!"
Luna looked at Raven. Raven folded her arms.
"Not now hun, you need a bath."
"I hate baths!"
"When I go see him I will tell him you said hi."
"Give him a kiss for me."
Hermione blushed. "You know you are very grown up for your age."
She smiled.
Hermione finished eating and looked at Ron.
"You should go. Harry needs you."
"Good luck."
Hermione smiled. "Thanks."
They smiled and waved goodbye.
Hermione then apparated to Harry's flat."
The living room was dark. Light from the kitchen poured onto the floor. Hermione walked toward the kitchen. Harry sat at the table. His forehead resting against the palm of his left hand. His right arm hung at his side. In his hand was a can of beer.
"Harry."
Harry looked up. "Hermione…"
"If you don't want me here I will leave…"
"Hermione….did you play princess with Raven?"
Hermione reached up and touched her hair which was still filled with the clips. She blushed. "Yes. Before I forget, Raven wanted me to give you something."
Hermione slowly walked over to Harry and cautiously leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.
Harry laughed. "Sweet girl."
"I know isn't she?"
Hermione sat down next to him,
"I came to be with you. I thought you might want some company."
"No it's all right. I am fine. It's just a breakup."
"Just a breakup?"
"Yeah, I can handle it."
"Can I stay anyway then? I have not seen you in 5 years."
"Sure. I can't believe it has been that long."
"I have been so busy recently with training that I have not been able to do anything else."
"I've missed you Hermione."
Hermione quickly looked up at him. His emerald eyes seemed to dance when she looked into them. "I have missed you too."
"So how's your love life been? Are you single?"
"I went on a few dates but nothing serious."
Harry hit his forehead. "I am such a bad host. Would you like something to drink? Beer, tea, water?"
"Beer's fine."
Harry made a beer levitate to the table.
"Thanks."
"No problem. You look great Hermione."
"You look pretty good yourself."

After a few drinks both were talking freely. Harry moved some hair out of Hermione's face.
"Did anyone tell you, you were beautiful?"
"Yes. A raven haired boy with green eyes used to tell me everyday back in our 7th year of Hogwarts."
"Someone needs to tell you more often."
Hermione giggled. "I don't look beautiful now, with Raven's hair clips in my hair."
Hermione began to take them out and put them onto the table.
"I think you do."
Hermione blushed.
"Hey 'mione. Want to have a sleepover, like old times?"
"I would love to, but I do no have any clothes to sleep in."
"You can borrow mine."
"Thanks."
"What are best mates for?" He grinned.
Hermione's heart sank a bit. "Right….we are best mates."
Harry kissed her cheek. "Let me get you some clothes."
Hermione nodded.
As soon as he left she pulled the rest of the clips out and smoothed her hair with her hands. The plastic necklaces came off one by one onto the table. I almost do feel like a princess today. Harry came back in with a gray t-shirts that said "Quidditch World Cup Champion."
Hermione smiled.
He also gave her a pair of shorts to wear.
"I hope they aren't too big."
"They will do. Thanks."
Harry smiled. "You can change in my bed room."
Hermione nodded and followed his finger which showed her which door to go to.
The door closed behind her when she walked into the room. A mirror sat in a corner of the dimly lit room.
Hermione quickly changed and then looked at herself in the mirror. She placed her hands on her hips. "I do look beautiful today." She carefully examined the person before her. "I feel pretty." She began to giggle.
I feel pretty,
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
Hermione spun around in a circle.
And I pity, any girl who isn't me today
Hermione went over to Harry's closet and pulled out an old hat and put it on.
I feel charming
Oh so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
She placed one hand on her chest and her other went into the air. Her eyes looked at her small hand as she smiled.
And so pretty that I hardly can believe I'm real
She looked at herself in the mirror and pulled the rim over her eyes.
See the pretty girl in the mirror there
Who can that attractive girl be?
She threw the hat off her head and onto Harry's bed.
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me
Hermione danced by herself then fell on Harry's bed. She laid on her back giggling.
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved by a pretty wonderful boy!
She got off the edge and skipped over to the window and stuck her head out. Harry conveniently had a fire escape so she climbed out on to it and looked at the people walking on a nearby street.
I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee
Should be organized to honor me
A group of teenage girls stop under Hermione. They intently listened to her song.
Girls: La, la, la, la….
Hermione noticed them and smiled.
I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign!
Girls: La, la, la, la, la
Hermione leaned over the railing and pointed out toward the neighboring building.
See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
The girls look where she was pointing.
Girls: What mirror where?
Hermione spun in a circle and sat on the window still.
Who can that attractive girl be?
Girls looked at each other still confused.
Girls: Which? What? Where? Whom?
Hermione leaned her head in her hands.
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me
The girls smiled at her.
Girls: Such a pretty me!
Hermione got up and quickly climbed down the stairs to the girls.
All: I feel stunning and entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
The girls began to giggle. Hermione noticed what she was wearing and began walking toward the latter. Harry walked out on the fire escape.
"Hermione, what's going on? I heard singing."
Hermione giggled. "We were just having a bit of fun."
The girls looked up at Harry and each gave a girly sigh.
"Lucky…"
"No wonder she was singing."
"I wish he was my boyfriend."
"I hope I break out into song when I find my soul mate."
Hermione walked over to him blushing he smiled and cupped her chin with his hands.
"I love you Hermione, I always have."
He then leaned down and kissed her passionately.
The girls squealed with joy when Hermione pulled away from the kiss to say. "I love you too Harry."
