Chapter Nine: Harry's first word

Hermione was so wrapped up in everything that she completely forgot about the dance she and Harry were going to throw for all of Hogwarts. They had thought this up in there third week here as head boy and girl. She decided that she needed to go and see Harry about it and to ask if he still wanted to do it since they had asked Dumbledore for a week from tomorrow.

She walked to the door separating there room and knocked on it. She really didn't want to do this but she also really did. Harry had not talked to her since she had blown up at him and Alex yesterday. The door opened and there stood Harry shirtless.

"Oh….Never mind" Hermione said turning around

"No come in….we haven't really talked in ages" Harry said

"You sure…I mean.." Hermione asked

"Hermione…she's not here she's in her own dorm…with the flavor of the month" Harry said

"Oh…Im sorry" Hermione looked at the ground. "Im…Really sorry"

"Don't be… what can happen will if there's a good enough reason" Harry said walking back into his room and taking a shirt out of his dresser and put it on. Hermione walked in noticing all of the pictures of Alex Harry once had where gone and were replaced with pictures of her, Ron and him.

"What I wanted to ask you was that….do you still want to put on the dance we thought about a while ago?"

"Sure who don't we get started planning it when I get back from seeing my dad?" Harry asked

"sounds like a plan to me" Hermione said walking back into her room

"Ill come and get you when Im back" Harry said

"Hey, Harry what's up?" James asked standing next to lily in the defense against the dark arts classroom.

"how come you're here" Harry asked them

"Dumbledore needed a new dada …."

"No why are you here?" Harry asked pointing to the ground

"Oh I knew you'd ask us that" said James looking at the floor choosing to answer his question "Your not A baby anymore Harry you should be told the truth"

"Get to the point" Harry said wondering what he ment. He sat down in a desk in front of him and Lily

" Well you know how lily put the charm on you before Voldermort killed her don't you…" James saw Harry nod and he added "I don't know how much Albus has told you"

"well its like the charm had a bigger affect on us or something…no one really has figured it out yet…Harry as far as we know there has been no record of anyone coming back from the dead an any other form then a ghostly one" Lily said sitting next to him "as soon as you killed Voldermort James and I were in the same place we died, alive…how no one knows"

"weird…but isn't everything these days" Harry laughed "James can I ask you something?"

"Sure…" James answered

"Do you reget changing your secret keeper from Sirius to Peter?" Harry asked

"Harry…I know this will be hard to understand but oddly enough no…" James said

"Why" Harry asked "It killed you and Lily and it put me through hell"

"Ill tell you if you do me a favor" James persuaded

"what's that?" Harry asked

"call us mom and dad, we never got to hear it, your first word was Quiddich" James looked the happiest Harry had ever seen him

"ok Dad" Harry loved the way that word felt coming out of his mouth a tear slid down his cheek as he got up and hugged them "You have no idea how much I've wanted to do this" he stood hugging them for well over 2 minutes before James decided it was time to let go

"Ok well…why did I not regret changing secret keepers?" James thought for a second "well its hard to understand really but it made me think you know…people you thought would never stab you in the back can and will if they have the right things persuaded to them. You know what I mean Harry"

"yeah actually I do" He thought of what Alex did to him and laughed in his mind…there was really only one girl for him and he'd have to do whatever he could to get her.

"But you also have to know Harry" Lily said "This also taught you a lesson too, being famous isn't everything….if this had not happened to you… you may have been one of those fame hungry people who don't know what its like"

Harry knocked on Hermione's door "hey you in there?"

"yeah come on in" Hermione said

Harry came into her room and looked at her. She looked so content sitting on her bed in a mini skirt and tank top reading a book.

"so are we going to plan in here or in my room?" Harry asked

"witch ever you prefer " Hermione said

"ok" Harry said sitting at her desk "here it is"

"so what do you want the theme of the dance to be ?" Hermione asked

" umm you got any ideas?" Harry asked

"a few…maybe a muggle theme…no magic allowed…or" Hermione suggested

"wait" Harry said "does that include muggle music and clothing?"

"yeah I think it would be really something cool too" Hermione sad

"yeah I really like it" Harry said "original and different"

Harry posted the dance poster in front of the great hall on the bulletin board.

Acoustic #3

They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
'Cause she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
'Cause the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying
Nothing changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But your falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
'Cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all the screaming
You're not listening anyway
