Umm… not much to say, just hope you enjoy! I just have had a lot of ideas tonight, so I guess I'm just trying to get ahead in case I won't be able to update soon.

Chapter Seven:

Hermione pulled into her driveway and she and Harry unloaded their things from the car and walked up the path to the cream colored house. She then turned to Harry, "Remember, they don't know EVERYTHING."

"What do you think I am?" Harry joked, "a muggle?" The both laughed and walked inside the house. They found Ron and Izzy sitting on the couch watching a trashy soap opera and snacking on potato chips.

"Well," Hermione started, "I see you found the one cupboard of my parents failed attempts and my life saver." She laughed and turned to Harry, "My parents are always trying to change their eating habits and be total health food junkies—as you can see…" she pointed to the many candy wrappers and bowl of chips, "doesn't work entirely." They all laughed.

"Ok," Ron started and clicked off the TV.

"Ron!" Izzy shouted. "We were just about to find out if the baby's mother was the sister of Julie the lounge singer who got knocked up and then turned lesbian with her fiancé's sister's best friend or the new girl who came to town who is best friends with the governor and the sister of the police chief and got drunk one night with his son and then felt sick every morning after that and it just came out that governor is really the police chief's son and so his wife tried to murder her but then found out that she was pregnant so she was given double long sentence in jail because she killed the new girl and almost killed the baby-- maybe the baby who's mother we don't know-- if it's the dead chick's or the lesbian! And now we'll never know!" (A/N: Don't ask me if that made any sense, total randomness and besides… it's a soap opera! Haha)

They all stared at her. Finally Ron spoke, "Wow," he turned back to Harry and Hermione, "so as I was saying, we should get started."

"Right," Harry and Hermione said together. They all went to get their backpacks and start on the assignments.

With all of each others' help, they were finished within about 45 minutes. "Awesome," Hermione said as she threw pencil down and began picking up her binder and math book. She went over to a storage cupboard by the TV and opened it. "Okay, so what'll it be?"

They all sat there in awe at the massive amount of movies she had. Every shelf was completely full. "Holy shit, Hermione!" Izzy said in amazement, "I don't remember you having that many before!"

Hermione laughed, "Oh, I know," She said, "but as a surprise my parents went and found a deal and got a ton of all my favorites and classics. They knew how much I was missing them." She smiled and looked at Harry.

"Hmm…" Izzy said getting up to go over the case of movies. "What have we got here?" She ran her index finger across the lines of DVDs. "Oooo!" She suddenly squealed with delight, "Pirates!" Hermione flashed a huge smile.

"No!" Ron and Harry yelled simultaneously.

Izzy and Hermione both looked as though they had just been punched in the stomach. "Why?" Hermione pouted.

"I have no desire to see both of you go totally crazy over pretty boy who doesn't know how to keep his shirt buttoned up and a fifty year old man wearing eyeliner and walking like a gay guy." Ron spat out.

Harry chuckled, "Well put, dude."

Even the girls had to laugh at this. "Ok, ok. Fine you win this one." Hermione said in defeat.

"It's ok, Hermione." Izzy patted her on the back, "they're just jealous because we get twice the eye candy while they have to settle for only one hot chick and we get two drop dead sexy men." The girls giggled and went back to looking at the movie selection.

Ron then noticed one, "hey, I could go for Fast and the Furious."

"Hey, me too." Harry agreed. Izzy turned around and yet again gave them the raised eyebrow look.

"Well OF COURSE you would!" she said, "fast, easy and luxurious. And that's just the CARS." Hermione grinned at her friend.

"Ok, you guys get that one," Harry laughed.

"All right, I got it." Hermione stated decisively, "This is the final option." She pulled out the Moulin Rouge.

"Totally!" Izzy squealed.

"Eeehh…" Ron hesitated, "Oh I guess it's ok for me."

"Well, I guess I'm gonna have to go with the majority anyway," Harry said.

"Great!" exclaimed Hermione as she put the DVD in the player. The rest took this opportunity to take the couch. Hermione turned around and saw this. "Oh, thanks guys!" she joked, "I love you too!"

"We wouldn't expect anything less, Mione." Ron said with a mouth full of chips. Hermione went and plopped on the floor in front of Izzy who was in the middle. The movie started and already the girls were drooling over Ewan McGregor's voice.

"God, it's just so sexy." Izzy said in awe while she reached down and started playing with Hermione's hair. First she just fluffed it up and then piled up into a mess on top of her best friend's head.

"Oh," Harry noticed this, "now THAT is sexy." He laughed looking at the top of Hermione's head.

Izzy giggled, "I know." And she let it fall down and started running her fingers through it and playing around.

"What is it with girls and hair?!" Ron asked.

"It is just a mystery of life," Hermione simply stated, "just like why do guys not know how to put down the toilet seat?" They all laughed and she continued, "Now if you wouldn't mind, I am trying to watch a movie!" With that they followed the story as Christian and his new theater troop arrived at the Moulin Rouge.

It came to the part when Christian was to meet Satine in the Elephant, one of Hermione's favorite scenes in the whole movie. Then Christian suddenly burst out into song.

My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
Hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

For the first time in her many times watching this movie, she listened to this song in a whole different way. Hermione went to resituate herself and found herself accidentally putting her hand on Harry's foot. She quickly glanced up at him for a moment and they sat there staring into each other's eyes as if they were both thinking that this song was absolutely true for them.

Hermione abruptly broke the contact and got up, "I'm gonna go get something to drink. Uuumm… anybody else want something?"

"Nah, I'm good," Ron said, returning his eyes back to the screen.

"Yea, me too." Izzy said, not even looking at Hermione, "Thanks anyway."

"I think I'll just get myself one too." Harry stated, getting up from the couch and followed Hermione into the kitchen. When he caught up to her she had already gotten a glass and started filling it with water. Harry watched her intently as he went and took a glass for himself also. He walked up to her by the sink. "Hermione," he said quietly.

She looked up at him her chocolate caramel eyes starting to fill up with tears. "Oh, no, Hermione, what's wrong?" Harry asked, setting both glasses down and pulling her into a hug. "What is it? Don't cry. Everything will be OK."

"No, no, it's not that, I'm fine," Hermione spoke quietly into Harry's shoulder. "I just, I don't know what's happened today. It seemed such an ordinary day but everything is so different, I'm scared."

"I know, I know you are." Harry gave her a quick squeeze and pushed her away slightly, still holding on to her waist. He raised his hand to wipe the tear running down her face. "Everything will be ok though, I promise." He bent down and placed a kiss on her forehead. Hermione leaned in again to give him another hug.

"Thank you, Harry." She said quietly, "Thank you."

"I just want you to know though," Harry began, "I have never felt so happy in my life than in that moment looking at you listening to those words. They couldn't have been more perfect." Hermione was still holding on to him tightly. "Because they are absolutely true, I've had such a weird life, one I wish I could change so many things in it. But I believe that every event leads to another. If I changed anything that's happened in my past, that would risk ever meeting you. Just this one day has changed my whole out look on life. I'm scared too Hermione," he closed his eyes and kissed the top of her head again, "I'm scared this is all just a dream, that it's too good to be true, that I'm going to wake up in the nightmare what I call life."

Hermione pulled back and looked up at him to see a single tear emerging from his right eye. She brought her hand up to wipe it off, however instead of removing her hand afterward as Harry did, she slid it to the back of his head and pulled his lips towards hers. She wasn't sure how he would take this, but was pleasantly surprised when he kissed her back. Their lips were pressed hard together and then Hermione felt it become wetter. He was begging entry to explore her mouth. She parted her lips and the kiss became very passionate. After what seemed like a lifetime they parted. They just gazed into each other's eyes until Hermione smiled and broke the silence.

"How wonderful life is, now you're in the world"
