Yay! Background info and don't worry…it will be DHr soon enough..AND I rewrote the first chapter, and there is a flashback scene that you just might want to read! You dont HAVE to, but I think it will help with the understanding of the story!

Thanks to charmed piper for the charming idea! I love it, and I hope I can make it work.

HERMIONE AND HARRY

"Seamus! Stop!" Hermione giggled, trying to dodge his lips and hands, which were traveling down her body on their own accord, licking her and tickling her. She was so glad that seventh year finals were over, so she could finally spend time with her boyfriend of two years.

"Stop what?" Seamus murmured without taking his eyes away from Hermione's pale shoulders. She felt him smirk against her chest.

"Stop tickling me!" Hermione was laughing so hard her eyes were starting to water, and in desperation to get away from Seamus, she had curled herself up in a tight ball, holding her knees in her arms. "Seamus!"

"What?" Seamus whispered. "Stop being so noisy, the whole damn world can hear you laughing your head off in my room."

Hermione pouted, trying not to laugh anymore. "Seamus! I told you I was ticklish."

"I know." Seamus smirked, leaning up on his elbows, his well-toned chest leaning against her stomach. "That's why I'm doing it."

"Get off, Seamus!" Hermione playfully pushed Seamus, who rolled off the bed and ended up on the floor, rubbing his head as if he had hit it on the ground.

"Oww…Hermione!" Seamus glared at her playfully.

Hermione laughed. That was what she loved about him. Not only was he bloody good looking, he was also playful and friendly, the exact opposite of herself, and she needed him to keep herself sane. She rolled her eyes and played along. "Sorry Seamus! Where does it hurt, huh?"

Seamus lay back on the floor. "Here." He pointed at his head.

Hermione laughed. "How can I make it feel better?"

"Kiss it." Seamus said slyly.

Hermione sighed. "Alright." And kneeling next to him on the ground, she pecked him on the head. "Better?"

"Yea, but now my tummy hurts." Seamus pouted, but Hermione could see the playful glint in his eyes. She bent down and kissed his stomach. "Better?"

"A little bit, but now my neck hurts!" Seamus grabbed his neck as if it was really hurting him. "It needs a kiss too!"

Hermione rolled her eyes playful, kissing him at the nape of his neck. "OKAY?"

"No. Now this hurts." Seamus pointed at his mouth.

"Really?" Hermione raised her eyebrows. "Well then I guess I will have to kiss it too, huh?"

Seamus nodded, raising his head from the cold stone floor. Hermione giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck and swinging herself on top of him. She snuggled against him, feeling his arms come around her. She was happy, she wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here.

"Hermione? My lips still hurt." Seamus smirked.

Then it was Hermione's turn to smirk. "Really?" She raised her head, capturing Seamus's lips in a soft kiss. "Better?"

"A little, it still hurts a-"Before he could tell Hermione what he wanted, she had already read his mind, and their tongues were fiercely battling in a struggle for dominance.

Little did they know that this snogfest would lead up to so much more than just kissing and caressing…or that it would lead up to the creation of another perfect little human being.

And little did Hermione know that this would be the last time she would see Seamus…alive.

Seamus was one of the million casualties in the battle. His strength and intelligence did little to save him from the onslaught of the deatheaters.

"No, Seamus. No, this can't be true. Seamus!" Hermione cried in anguish, throwing herself at the body, which lay in the hospital wing. "Come back, Seamus, I need you…"

"Hermione?" Hermione turned around to find her friends Harry and Ron, standing uncomfortably behind her.

"OH Harry, Ron." Hermione threw herself into the embrace of her two best friends.

"Shhh it's alright, Hermione. We're here for you." Ron gently stroked her hair.

When Hermione found out she was pregnant, a month after the defeat of Voldemort and her graduation from Hogwarts, she was devastated. She didn't know how she was going to support both herself and her child without Seamus; thoughts which brought tears to her eyes.

How she wished and wished that he was back here with her to help her take care of their child…

Of course her parents had wanted to support her, promising that they would take care of their only daughter and grandchild, but she knew that it was only a mask, and really, they were quite disappointed in her conceiving a child before she was married.

However, she soon threw the self-pity behind herself, and strove to become a self-sufficient woman. At first, she worked three jobs, a part time job at the ministry filing papers and waitressing at the Three Broomsticks during the week and working as a nurse on weekends at St. Mungo's hospital. The three jobs didn't pay much of course, but it was just enough to get her by and provide the rent for a small apartment she lived in herself.

When Jamie was born, Hermione had to cut back to 2 job, quitting her job at Three Broomsticks so she could stay home with her daughter. She also started taking classes at a nearby British University, learning about accounting and numbers, hoping that she could get a more respectable job at the ministry.

As for Jamie, she grew up with a lot of love, and became the most endearing little girl. From the moment of her birth, Harry acted as Jamie's surrogate father, doing everything a father would do with his only daughter: taking her to the parks, rocking her to sleep, but alwaysfalling asleep himself as well, buying her her first magical creature, the list was endless. He was always there to comfort her when she came home crying about wanting to know who her father was. And as always, he would tell her that his father had died a brave man, fighting with the Order against Voldemort.

As selfless as always, Harry cared for Hermione and Jamie more than he cared about himself, visiting them almost daily after his Auror training, and constantly doting Jamie and spoiling her with presents of books, gadgets and various types of candies from honeyduke. He also couldn't resist throwing in a nice surprise from Fred and George's shop once in a while.

Some part of Harry always wished that one day Hermione would forget the pain of losing Seamus and maybe, just maybe, they could get married and give Jamie the complete family she needed. But he also recognized that Seamus was Hermione's first love, and he knew from experience that one never really forgets his or her first love.

Even so, he pitched in as much effort with Jamie's education as he could, paying the tuition for her to attend a muggle private school during her years before Hogwarts although Hermione refused profusely. In the end, she had only agreed because Harry had threatened to enroll Jamie in a neighborhood public school which was notorious for it's gangs and rowdy students.

In time, Hermione was back on her own two feet, working a well-paying job at the Ministry and earning enough to provide a comfortable living style for herself and her daughter and enough to purchase a modest home in the London suburbs.

Harry, being the good friend and surrogate father he was, continued to keep in touch with his best friend and favorite 'daughter,' all the while rising in rank as an Auror.

They had the perfect lives, that is, until the arrival of Draco Malfoy.
