1Later that day Hermione went to bathe in the tub. She had left Oliver to take a nap in her bedroom. She drew it full of hot water, and got in. She closed her eyes and laid her head back. She began to think, and realized this was the most content Hermione had been in a long time, two years in fact.
Hermione's thoughts were interrupted by the door to the bathroom opening. In walked Oliver who was clutching a towel around his waist. Oliver smiled, took the towel off and walked into the shower.
Hermione smiled guiltily and got out of the tub, wrapped a towel around her and left the bathroom.
As Hermione was looking for something to wear, she heard the bathroom door open, and she saw a dressed Oliver.
"Where did you get clothes from?" she asked.
"House Elf." Oliver said simply.
"Oh." Hermione said walking over to Oliver, she then gave him a peck on the lips. She then removed her towel and began to get dressed. After Hermione got dressed in jeans and a polo shirt, she grabbed her black robes. Oliver, who was wearing a black button up shirt that had 3/4 sleeves, and was also wearing jeans, grabbed his robes of deep red, he then took Hermione's hand, and led her out the door.
The two were walking down the stairs that led to Oliver's tower, when they noticed that students were beginning to look at them, puzzled. Oliver was still holding Hermione's hand. They gave the students polite smiles and they reached Oliver's tower.
When they got to Oliver's common room, they went over to the couch and sat down.
Oliver put his arm over Hermione's shoulders casually, and they began to talk.
A few hours later Hermione and Oliver got up to go to the Great Hall. It was time for dinner. When they go to the Great Hall, they took their seats at the staff table. Hermione noticed all the looks that students gave her and Oliver. When Hermione and Oliver had sat down, he had taken her hand and held it.
Oliver whispered, "the students looked shocked at the sight of us." Hermione agreed with him.
They began to eat and after an hour of talking and eating, Hermione and Oliver got up and headed to Oliver's.
This time the headed straight for the bedroom.
The next morning it was Oliver who woke up first. He carefully kissed Hermione on the forehead not wanting to wake her. He loved the way she looked while she slept, so peaceful and beautiful.
Oliver walked into his bathroom and began to shower. When Oliver finished showering, he put a towel around himself and walked into his bedroom expecting to find a sleeping Hermione, instead he found his bed unoccupied. Puzzled, he went downstairs to his common room, he didn't find her there, then he heard a noise coming from his kitchen. He turned to see Hermione holding a tray with two breakfasts on it.
Oliver began to laugh, and Hermione smiled, and they took their breakfasts up and ate in bed.
Hermione spent the day with Oliver. They played game after game of Wizarding Chess, one of the few things Hermione wasn't good at.
That night they decided to have a private dinner. Oliver cooked lamb chops and he and Hermione ate at the table in the kitchen.
Hermione did not stay that night. They had classes to teach the following day. Instead Oliver walked Hermione to her tower, gave her a kiss and said good bye to her at the bottom of the stairs.
Hermione went to sleep that night missing Oliver, wishing he was lying right next to her.
