Chapter Four: Reuniting

They stared at each other for several more minutes. Each one waiting for the other one to say something. Neither of them knew what to say.
One part of Hermione wanted to jump out and hug Harry and never let go, but the other part gave angry memories about the past.
Harry couldn't believe his eyes. His best friend, that he hadn't spoken to in three years, was standing right in front of him. He didn't know what to say. He didn't even know if Hermione wanted to speak to him.
Hermione's eyes detached off Harry's eyes and onto his forehead. She looked upon the scar. The scar, she thought. She remembered how much pain it had caused. She remembered the constant burst of anguish Harry would have because of that lighting bolt scar. A small tear escaped from her eyes.
Harry hesitated and then raised his hand to Hermione's cheek and brushed off the tears. Hermione breathed in an intake of air, as Harry touched her. "Hello, Hermione," he said softly.
Hermione shook her head. "No, no," Hermione said backing away from Harry. "This can't be happening." She walked over to her car, not taking her eyes off Harry. She opened the door and got inside, still muttering to herself. "No, it can't be H-Ha-- that boy. It just can't be. For all I know H-H-- that boy could be dead." She turned the engine, but nothing happened. She tried again, and again, and again. "NO!" Hermione said pounding on the stirring wheel. She, once again, jammed the key into the ignition and turned it. "Come on, baby, please!"
"Aunt Hermione!" Allie finally said. Hermione looked at her. "It's not going to work!"
"No, Allie," Hermione said. She sounded hysterical. "it has to work!"
Harry looked over at the scene that Hermione was making. He was sure that she knew that he was there, she just didn't want to admit it.
"Aunt Hermy!" Thomas said. "It's not working! Maybe you should ask Mr. Potter for help."
Hermione turned to face him. "Listen, Thomas, we don't need his help!" She pointed to Harry. "Who ever he is, we don't need him." Allie and Thomas gaped at their hysterical Aunt. Hermione looked at her worried niece and nephew. "Look," she said calming down a bit, "we can do this, okay? It can't get worse then this!"
It did. Dark clouds formed in the sky. A loud thunderous nosie filled the grounds, and heavy rain drops fell on their heads.
Allie and Thomas looked at Hermione. "Now what?" Thomas asked.
"Okay, okay," Hermione said, "don't panic!"
Harry looked up at the dark sky. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. He looked back at Hermione and the others. If Hermione didn't want anything to do with him, he would, at least, help her get the top of her car up.
"Hermione!" Harry called. Hermione hesitated and then finally looked Harry's way. "We have to get your top up!"
"No, it's okay, really," Hermione called, not looking at him, "a little rain never hurt anyone!" (A/N: Wow! Hermione really doesn't want to talk to Harry!)
A bright light filled the sky, followed by thunder, and, soon, it was raining cats and dogs.
"Yeah, but a lot can kill you!" Harry called back. He quickly walked over to the back of the car and started to pull on the top. Hermione, Allie and Thomas quickly got out of the car and helped Harry.
It was no use. Even with Harry's muscles, the top was stuck in there good.
"Mr. Potter!" Thomas called. "This isn't working!"
Harry looked around to abandoned road. "Over there!" He pointed to a huge tree. "We can push it under the tree, so it won't get messed up!"
Harry, Hermione, Allie, and Thomas pushed the convertible towards the tree. Harry's muscles really came in handy.(A/N: Gotta love those muscles!) They finally got the car under the tree.
Hermione, Allie, and Thomas gasped for air. They leaned against the car, drenched in rain. "Now what?" Hermione asked breathlessly.
"We go in my car." Harry said. They looked at Harry's 350Z.(A/N: For those who don't know, 350Zs are really small sport cars, they only fit two people comfortably.) "C'mon!"
Hermione, Allie and Thomas followed Harry to his car. Allie and Thomas squeezed through the front seats and slid into the back. Harry got into the driver's seat and Hermione got into the seat next to the driver's.

All of them were drenched in rain, and all of them were breathing heavily.
"Everyone alright?" Harry asked. They nodded. He looked at Hermione who was determined to look at the rain pouring outside. Harry and Hermione tried calling for help, but their phones were dead.
"Aunt Hermy?" Thomas asked. "When are we going to go home?"
Hermione turned around to face him. "I'm sorry, Thomas, but we aren't going to make it home tonight."
"But, I'm really tried!" he protested.
"Er...well, I guess you can rest here for now...is that okay, Har-- with you?" Hermione added looking at Harry. He nodded.
Thomas quickly dozed off. Allie looked at Harry and then Hermione. A smirk formed on her face. She was going to find out what was going on between Harry and Hermione if it was the last thing she did. "Well, I guess, I'm going to...er...rest too." Allie said resting her head on the seat, and closing her eyes, leaving Harry and Hermione the only ones awake.
"Er...nice kids," Harry said.
"Yeah," Hermione said, "they are."
"They're your niece and nephew?"
"Yeah," Hermione said again, "Allie and Thomas Blake."
"Oh," Harry said, nodding his head, "okay."
There was the biggest awkward silence between them. If they gave out awards for the most awkwardest awkward silence, this would definitely top. Hermione looked out the front window, spacing out for a few minutes, which seemed like hours.
"Er...maybe there's something better on another channel," Harry joked.
"Huh? Oh, yeah," Hermione said, coming back to Earth.
Harry looked at her, his palms sweating like crazy. He hesitated, and then started. "Hermione, I-I'm sorry."
She looked at him, unaware of what to say. She smiled weakly. "Sorry?" she said, finally speaking directly to him. "Do you think 'sorry' will fix the pain and suffering you caused me?" Harry looked away. The last thing he wanted to do was to make Hermione suffer. "Well, do you?!" Hermione was almost screaming.
"Listen," Harry snapped. Allie, who was still awake, listened carefully. "I only said I hated you, because I wanted to protect you!" Hermione's eyes wandered around Harry's face.
"What?"
"I wanted to protect you and Ron!" Harry said. "Voldemort could burst in here right now and just kill you, because he knows that I care for you and Ron! I didn't want to you to get hurt!"
"Well," Hermione said, "I guess you failed, because you did hurt us! We might not have hurt physically, but we hurt more than ever mentally. Besides, V-Voldemort is dead."
Harry shook his head. "There are so many other ways in which he can come back. Why do you think I work my ass off, being an Auror?" Hermione was on the verge of tears. "I didn't want you to go though what happened during 7th year."
"Harry what-- "
"He touched you!" Harry yelled. Thomas made slight movement and then calmed down. "He touched you and Ron. How dare he?! That's when I knew, I had to get rid of you, so you wouldn't have to go though that again." He looked at Hermione, who was crying like a baby. He waited for her to answer back, but she didn't. Harry's nostrils flared. He had to get out of the car.
"I'm going to find a place where we can stay. Now that the rain has sort of died down," Harry said. Hermione looked out the window, she had no idea if Harry was looking at the same rainy day as she was, because it was raining harder than ever. "You stay here-- "
"No, Harry!" Hermione called, grabbing his arm and pulling him back to his seat. Harry looked at her unsure of what she wanted. "P-Please don't leave me again." She looked into his eyes, tears still streaming down her face.
Harry and Hermione embraced each other, Hermione crying into Harry's shoulder.
A small tear flowed down Allie's cheek. She had an idea. A brilliant idea. But, it would take some time and lots of thinking. She smiled into the seat. She was going to play a game, a game called Matchmaker.
