Hermione awoke early the next morning and found herself curled up next to Harry. Sometime during the night he had taken off his shirt and for the first time Hermione had a closer look at the scars that were on his body. It pained her to see them, but at the same time they fascinated her. She gently placed a finger across on of them, and moved her hand to trace the scar.

Harry moved under her touch. She glanced up to see that he was still asleep, and again she began to trace the scars. She continued tracing the scars on his chest, and then moved up his arms, until she reached his face. There where no new scars here, just the small lighting shaped one he had always had. She moved her hand up to his forehead and brushed a few stray hairs off of his face. She moved her fingers in a circle around the scar before she moved her fingers slowly onto the scar and began tracing the shape.

Harry moaned in his sleep and shifted his body so that he now faced Hermione. The two were now nose to nose. Hermione smiled and ran her hands through his hair. Harry's eyes began to flutter open. He couldn't make out the person in front of him at first, it was just a blurry blob, but once the figure smiled at him he remembered who was sharing a bed with him.

"Morning love," he whispered and placed a small kiss on her lips.

Hermione's smile widened as her hands moved from his hair down to his chest. She felt Harry's muscles tighten, but then quickly relaxed. "Morning," she said and snuggled in closer to him.

"Have you been up long?" Harry asked enjoying the sensations Hermione was causing with her caressing strokes across his chest.

"Maybe twenty minutes," she said and placed an open mouth kiss on his shoulder, letting her teeth drag slightly across his flesh.

"What have you been doing for twenty minutes? Looking at me?" he asked and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her snugly up against him.

"More or less," she said casually as she wrapped her arms around him and let her hands wander across his back, feelings the scar where the dark mark was. "I'm surprised you didn't wake up earlier,"

"I was pretty tired," he said looking deep into her eyes.

"I guess so," she said licking her lips.

Harry took one hand and ran it through her hair, letting it rest at the nape of her neck and pulled her face closer to his. He placed his lips firmly onto hers. Hermione moaned and opened her mouth to his. Their tongues instantly began to battle. Hands began to wander over each others bodies. Harry rolled thier bodes so Hermione was now pinned on the bed. Harry broke his lips away from hers and moved to the delicate skin on her neck, then down to her collarbone. Hermione gasps in pleasure at the feelings of Harry, but she knew that if they did not stop soon she wouldn't be able to stop.

"Harry . . . " she gasped as his hand moved under her shirt and rested on her flat stomach. "We can't do this yet," she said and grabbed his hand from her stomach.

"What?" he asked and placed small kisses all over her face.

"It can't go any farther than this," she said looking into his eyes. Never had she seen so much passion in them.

Harry looked at her for a long time. He wanted nothing more than to make love to her, but he could tell there was something he wasn't remembering about their past. He rolled off Hermione and laid on his back staring up at the ceiling, trying to remember what he was missing.

"I don't mean to upset you Harry. I want to be with you, but . . . "

"We can't," he said trying not to sound upset.

"Right. When we where still in school Remus told us about your parents . . . about how they would have wanted you to wait until you where married,"

"I don't remember that,"

Hermione moved closer to him, wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his chest. "It's okay that you don't Harry. You will someday," she said and placed a kiss on his chest.

"I wish I could. I hate not knowing,"

"I know. I hate it too, but it will happen someday,"

Harry ran his hands through her hair and down her back. "So what are we going to do today?"

"I don't know, I was thinking of going to Hogwarts, or maybe the Weasley's," Hermione said smiling up at him. "Or going shopping,"

"I told you I have to get a job first. Maybe Dudley could use some help,"

"I told you before you don't have to worry about money,"

"I am not going to let you pay for it,"

"I know that, you are. You are a very wealthy wizard. Your parents and Sirius left you a large amount of money. Enough where neither of would have to work again, if we wanted to,"

"Then why have you?"

"I needed to keep busy,"

"And you're not the type to sit around and do nothing," Harry said with a smile and kissed the top of her head.

"Right, and neither are you," Hermione said and kissed his chest. "So how about we go shopping, get you some new clothes, and tomorrow we go to Hogwarts,"

"No, how about we go shopping for a few hours, then we stop over at the Weasley's, maybe stay over. Then we go to Hogwarts,"

"Sounds good," she said and leaned up and gave him a firm kiss.

After a long snog session the two parted and got dressed for the day, and pack a bag of clothes for several days. Hermione sent an owl to the Weasley's letting them know they would be there later today, and was hoping to take advantage of two of their empty beds.

"I though we would go into London and shop first, I don't know about going into Diagon Alley yet. To many people would notice you," Hermione said as she drove toward a shopping center. "You may get noticed here too. There are a lot of muggle-borns that shop here. You may want to put that hat on I threw in my bag,"

Harry reached into her bag and pulled out a tattered black hat. "You think this will help?" he asked putting it on.

"It may. We just have to be careful," she said as she found a parking space and got out of the car.

Harry walked to her side of the car, grabbed her hand and let her lead him into the stores. They shopped for two hours, and Harry was exhausted. He never thought Hermione would be the type of person to shop, but once you got her near a sale there was no stopping her.

Harry was fairly certain he had ever tried on more clothes then he had just then. Harry walked out of what he hoped would be the last store with an armful of bags while Hermione finished paying for the last few items she picked out for him. He found a near by bench an sat down to rest. He waited for several minutes before Hermione walked out with a smile on her face and several bags.

"That was fun," she said sitting down next to him.

Harry looked at her and gave her a long sided grin before he leaned over and rested his head on her shoulder. "Are we done yet? I don't know if I can even look at another piece article of clothing," he said looking up at her.

"We are," Hermione said looking back down at him. She smiled and bent down and brushed her lips against his.

Harry smiled against her lips and pulled her face closer to her, letting their lips firmly press together.

"Hermione?" a voice said behind them. "Hermione Granger?"

Hermione panicked. She knew that voice, she has not heard it in several years, but she could not forget that voice.

Hermione pulled away from Harry and gave him a panicked look. "Don't talk to her, she went to school with us. Try to keep your face hidden,"

Harry nodded his head and pulled his hat down. He was curious to know who the woman was, but knew that Hermione had her reasons for everything.

Hermione brushed hair out of her face and stood up from the bench and placed a smile on her face. "Cho? Is that really you? I haven't seen you since you graduated,"

"That is you Hermione," she said looking curiously at the man Hermione had been having a very public snog session with. "How have you been?"

Hermione stepped in front of Harry. "I'm good. Just doing some shopping,"

Cho raised an eyebrow. "Looks like a little more than shopping," she said trying to look past Hermione.

Hermione stepped in front of her and gave her a warning look. "I was just about to leave actually. Sorry I can't stay and catch up,"

"Don't be so rude Hermione. Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?"

"No," Hermione said glaring at her. Cho faked an expression of hurt. "No one knows I am dating anyone, so I want to keep in quiet,"

Cho smiled slightly. "Oh right. Weren't you engaged to Harry before he left you in the hospital?"

"He didn't leave me Cho," Hermione said as she balled her hands into a fist. "He was kidnapped,"

Cho smiled again and rolled her eyes. "If that's what you believe," Cho said flipping her hair over her shoulder. As she did so she managed to move her body just enough to see the profile of the man sitting on the bench. She knew who the man was. Her eyes grew wide and all color left her face. "I have to go," she said and quickly turned and walked away from the two.

Harry instantly stood up and wrapped his arms around Hermione and pulled her close to him. "It's okay love. She's' gone now,"

"Do you think she got a look at you? She seemed kind of weird at the end,"

"I don't know" he said running a hand down her hair. " I did get a look at her, she seems really familiar," he said pulling away from her slightly. "Are you okay?"

"I will be once we get out of here,"

Harry let go of Hermione and picked up all the bags. They quickly walked out of the shopping center and back to Hermione's car.

They were back in the car and on their way to The Burrow, Harry mind kept on thinking back to the girl at they had met. "Who was she?" Harry asked quietly as he took one of her hands in his.

"Cho Chang," Hermione said. "She was a year older than us,"

"She looks familiar. Not just because we went to school with her, but like I've seen her recently,"

Hermione looked over at Harry briefly. "What do you mean?"

"I don't know," Harry said running his hands over his face. "It's all jumbled up in my head. Maybe I am just imagining things,"

Hermione squeezed his hand and gave him a soft smile. "I am going to owl Dumbledore when we get to The Burrow. Just in case Cho did see you; he may be able to stop any rumors,"

"If you think it's a good idea,"

"Do you want her spreading rumor around about you?"

"It wouldn't be a rumor about me being back Hermione. We are going to have to let people know that I am back. I can't hide forever,"

"I know Harry, but I just don't think it would be a good idea to tell the work you are back until you remember everything," Hermione said glancing at him. He was staring out the window watching the passing scenery. "I am going to let Dumbledore know, just incase," she said firmly.

The two rode in silence for the rest of the ride. Neither mad at the other, just thinking about what had happen earlier that day. Harry still couldn't get the feeling about Cho out of his mind. Hermione was nervous about what Cho would do if she did see Harry.

Hermione turned the car sharply at the next turn and began driving down the lane to the Burrow. Harry leaned forward in his seat, nearly hitting his head on the windshield as he saw the Burrow for the first time in several years. Hermione stopped the car in front of the house and looked over at Harry. He was already climbing out of the car, with a huge grin on his face.

"They're here!" Ginny called from the garden. There was a loud commotion coming from the Burrow followed by all the Weasley's running out of the front door.

"Harry!" Mrs. Weasley called and pulled him into a hug. "How are you dear?"

"I'm fine Molly," he said trying to ease away from her embrace.

"I'm sorry dear," she said sensing his discomfort and pulled out of the hug.

"No it's okay, I need to get use to it again," he said with a smile.

Mrs. Weasley beamed up at Harry and ushered him into the house. Harry was mesmerized by the house. He knew he had seen it before, but he didn't remember any of it. He walked around the first floor slowly taking it all in. He stopped at Mrs. Weasley's clock, he looked at all the faces on it. He noticed there where a few he had not yet met, and wouldn't. He noticed one that was on undetermined, it was Percy's. He looked closely at the face, he recognized it. It was the face from the memory of the Halloween Ball, but again he got a feeling that he has seen if recently. He ignored the feeling and joined the rest of the group, who where all seated around a large table, waiting for him to join them so they could begin the feast Mrs. Weasley had prepared.

After a large dinner, and an even larger dessert Harry was ready for bed.

"Harry you will be in with Ron tonight, Hermione is already up with Ginny in her room," Mrs. Weasley said with a smile. "It's just like when you where all in school," she said getting a little misty eyed.

"Here come the waterworks!" Ron said running up the stairs.

"Thank you for dinner Molly, and for the bed to sleep in," Harry said with a smile and hugged her.

"Any time," she said and pushed Harry away, "Now off to bed,"

Harry walked up the stairs slowly, looking at the pictures. He finally made it up to Ron's room and heard and saw him fast asleep. Harry smiled and crawled into bed, he soon found himself fast asleep.

"Harry?" Hermione whispered shaking him slightly.

"No!" he yelled.

"Harry get up! It's just a dream!" Ron called to him.

Harry's arm flung out and hit Ron in the shoulder. "Get away from me!" he yelled again.

"Harry!" Hermione said urgently. "It's okay, Ron and I are here. We won't hurt you," she said knowing that Harry was dreaming about his time away. "Ron's we need to get him up!"

"Harry!" he yelled and shoved his friend hard. This did not help any, it just made Harry panic more and screamed loudly.

Hermione glared at Ron, then turned back to Harry. She climbed into bed next to him and pulled him close to her body. Harry tired to pull away from her, but she held on tightly. She ran her hands though his hair and whispered soothing words to him. Harry whimpered a few more times, then calmed down.

"What do you think that was about?" Ron asked sitting on the edge of his bed.

"I don't know," she said looking down at Harry. His eyes were fluttering open.

"Harry?" she whispered and kissed his forehead.

"Mione?"

"You were having a bad dream," she said running her hand through his hair. "I came to help you, so did Ron,"

He looked over at Ron, who was staring back at him. "Are you okay mate? I haven't seen you like that in a long time,"

"I will be," he said pulling Hermione closer to him. "Stay here tonight," he whispered into her ear. "I don't want to be alone,"

"Ron's here,"

"I know, but it's not the same. I need you next to me,"

Hermione smiled. "You need both of us right now. You always have,"

"Do you want me to leave you two alone?" Ron asked looking even sicker than he did after he threw up slugs in first year.

"No," Hermione said. "We are just going to go back to sleep now,"

"Mum won't like you being in here," Ron said crawling back into bed.

"We slept in the same bed at school, and I don't see what the difference is," Hermione said as Harry wrapped his arms around her. "Besides we are adults now, and she can't stop up. And besides it is not like we will do anything with you here Ron,"

"I know that, but mum doesn't,"

"Just shut up and get some sleep," Harry said as he closed his eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep.
