Chapter Fourteen – Surprise

Everyone was startled by the sudden eruption of music throughout the school. The students were excited and the Professors, though amused, were trying to figure out where it was coming from.

Standing in the corridor, Ron had a vague idea of what was happening. Luna, Ginny and Lavender took a look around, trying to figure out what was going on. Neville, Seamus, and Draco looked quite scared. Suddenly a voice so familiar rang throughout the school.

"What day is it? And in what month, this clock never seemed so alive."

Everyone began to chatter excitedly. Hermione, halfway up the stairs, stopped dead in her tracks.

"I can't keep up, and I can't back down, I've been losing… So much time."

Just then, everyone figured it out. Just like Hermione, they knew very well who the voice belonged to.

"Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why… I can't keep my eyes off of you."

"Harry," everyone was whispering.

"I didn't know he could sing!"

"Harry Potter? Wow!"

"Ooh," Luna giggled. "He took my idea!"

"Aw…" everyone said.

"All of the things, that I want to say, just aren't… Coming out right. I'm tripping on words, you've got my head spinning, I don't know where to go from here."

Suddenly someone let out a shriek of excitement. "On the field! Someone's on the Quidditch field."

Everyone turned to exit the school, even the Professors. Hermione pushed through the crowd to catch up to Ron.

"What's going on?" she yelled over the noise.

"I don't know!" Ron replied.

Up on his broomstick, Harry watched as the entire school came out onto the field.

"Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to prove and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why… I can't keep my eyes off of you."

His eyes fell upon Hermione. He smiled. Everyone was climbing up their house tower to get a better look. They looked up at Harry but he wasn't alone. On another broom was Dean Thomas and he and Harry held up a blank banner. It was nearly sundown. Of course, they were all too surprised to care.

"There's something about you now, I can't quite figure out… Everything she does is beautiful… Everything she does is right…"

From the Gryffindor tower, Hermione looked up at him, tears in her eyes.

"He's crazy," she managed to choke.

"Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do—" he laughed. Nearly everyone was singing. –" Nothing to lose and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of—" smiling, he let them sing.

--"You and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to prove and it's you and me…"

Suddenly the banner began to glow brightly and soon it was flashing the words, "I love you Hermione!" Harry put a spell on the banner to keep his end afloat and flew down to Hermione. Everyone was still singing.

"And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you…" he took hold of her hand. "What day is it? And in what month, this clock never seemed so alive."

He smiled nervously. Everyone had suddenly become very quiet. Harry looked around. Ron and Lavender were staring at each other admirably, Ginny and Draco were locked in a passionate kiss and Seamus was wiping his tears away as Neville bawled his eyes out. He turned back to Hermione who was silently sobbing. He titled her face up to his and brushed her tears away softly.

"I'm sorry for everything Hermione," he said softly. "The last few days have been so horrible. I really am sorry."

"Hermione laughed through her tears. "Oh Harry!" she embraced him.

Harry returned her embrace, closing his eyes, savoring the moment. Around them, people were sniffling and wiping tears away.

"I've missed you so much," she whispered. She pulled back to look at him. "I love you too."

Harry smiled and right there in front of everyone, he kissed her. Everyone exploded with cheers and applause. Up on his broom, Dean pointed his wand upwards and fireworks filled the dark sky.

Harry held Hermione close and vowed to himself to never mess up the greatest thing he had. After their kiss, they watched the fireworks, both never feeling as happy as they were feeling then.

Harry looked at Ron and mouthed the words; "thank you" for he'd just realized that it just goes to show that a few simple words can go a very long way.
