Hermione's True Love

Chapter 2: Dream World

"Hermione Granger, will you marry me?"

"Of course I will. I've cared for you since the first time I saw you and there's no one else I'd rather be with. I love you with all my heart." Hermione said as she began to cry.

"Please don't cry Love. I'm here for you, I always have been and always will be."

Harry Potter took the love of his life into his arms and caressed her fair skin, assuring her that things would be all right….

BEEEEEP…BEEEEEP…BEEEEEP…BEEEEEP…BEEEEEP…BEEEEEP…BEEEEEP…BEEEEEP!!!!!

Hermione lay awake in her bed, remembering all to well the dream she had just had. She had been having the dream for as long as she could remember and it would always end at the same spot, Harry taking her in his arms, saying that he loved her. She longed for his touch, it seemed like every hour of everyday she needed it. She would tell him about her feelings this year. It was a promise she had made to herself a few years back.

She slowly got out of bed, not really regretting the abrupt end of the dream because she would be seeing Harry today anyway. After thinking for a few moments she decided not to say anything about her love to him today. It would be to strange if he rejected her feelings and she still had to face him daily.

Hermione stopped dead in her tracks. What if he does reject my feelings??? She thought; Then what do I do? I don't think I'd be able to function properly knowing that the only thing I love and care for doesn't share my feelings, not to mention my school work would probably suffer (A/N I just had to add that or it wouldn't be Hermione J)

She pushed these thoughts from her head. I'll cross that bridge if and hopefully not when I come to it, she thought. She continued to get ready, she only had a half hour before she had to leave, so she needed to hurry.

Later…

Harry's POV

Harry was kneeling before the woman he loved, a ring in one hand, and her hand in the other. He spoke to her softly but meaningfully.

"Hermione Granger, will you marry me?"

"Of course I will. I've cared for you since the first time I saw you and there's no one else I'd rather be with. I love you with all my heart." Hermione said as she began to cry.

Harry stood up and took her in his arms. He again spoke to her in hushed tones, trying to calm her. He said "Please don't cry Love. I'm here for you, I always have been and always will be…"

"Harry? Harry wake up, its almost eleven thirty. I've been here for a half hour and I just couldn't wait to talk to you anymore. Come on, its time to get up!"

"Don't worry…….I'm here…..Always will…be….." said a still sleeping Harry.

Hermione took a step back. "Is he having the same dream I'm having?? Does that mean??" She whispered.

Harry woke up, yawning and saying "I had that dream again, didn't I Ron….? Oh errr Hi Hermione, umm I'm sorry, I thought you were Ron…..H how have you been??"

"I've been fine Harry. Can I ask what your dream was about??" said Hermione, with a look of hope in her sparkling amber eyes…

Sorry to cut it so short after you haven't heard from me in a while, but I had no choice. I'm out of time for today. Enjoy and please leave me a review!!!! bai bai!!
