How could he have been so stupid? Harry thought to himself as he apparated to his flat. He had just confessed his love to Hermione and best of all she was in love with him in return. Not just that, but he was snogging the most unbelievable woman in the world! Things were going great until he opened his mouth and inserted his big foot! Harry was jealous and she knew it. But instead of admitting how idiotic he was and accepting Hermione's explanation, he had to go and ruin the best thing in his life. He was sure of it. Harry grabbed the nearest glass and threw it against the wall, shattering it into hundreds of pieces. Shit!

Hermione sat on her couch not believing what had just happened. She and Harry had finally admitted that they were in love with and now that had just had such a row that she had thrown him out of her flat. She was miserable, but she also had her pride. Once again, she hadn't done anything wrong and Harry Potter was accusing her of not caring for him. She had had enough! Hermione loved Harry, but until Harry realized that fully and trusted that, they did not have a future together.

The next morning Harry owled Ron for a chat about the previous night's events. Ron apparated over and listened as Harry spilled his heart out about what he had done.

"Wow, you really did it this time didn't you mate?"

"Yeah, I know that. I didn't need you to remind me. What I do need is to know how do I fix this Ron? Holding her last night and kissing her just felt unreal. It was amazing! Now, I probably screwed things up for good, but really I have got to try to make this right."

"Ok, first you need to apologize for being a complete prat." Ron started.

"I know, but I don't even think that she's willing to hear me apologize right now. I've never seen Hermione this mad at me."

"Then you have to make her listen."

"How do you suggest I do that?" Harry asked.

"You have to do something so romantic that Hermione has to listen. There was one time when Luna and I first started dating that I botched things up pretty badly. I was so sure she was done with me. But as I was talking to Bill, he reminded me that if I really wanted to be with Luna, then I couldn't give up. He gave me a few ideas on how to make it up to her and well, obviously, it worked. She was so taken back by what I did, that she forgot what she was even mad at me for."

"Sounds great, but this is Hermione we are talking about. She's not your normal girl."

"Like Luna is?" Ron interrupted.

"True" Harry conceded, "But for this to work for me, it has got to be big. It's going to take something so amazing to get her to forget what I said."

"Well" Ron asked, "Is she worth it to you?"

"She is worth more to me than life itself. Without Hermione in my life, what is there?"

"Ok then, lets get thinking."

It had been over two days and Harry had still not owled Hermione with an apology. There was no way that she was going to be the first one to say I'm sorry. If Harry wanted any sort of relationship with her, then he needed to be the first on to say it. But since he had not even tried to contact her, she was finally feeling that maybe things would never be right for her and Harry. Leaning back in her chair at her desk, she had just closed her eyes when her assistant Sarah knocked on her door.

"Yes?"

"This just came for you Hermione?'

"Thanks."

Hermione opened the letter and read:

Hermione,

I know that I have been awful, but please let me try to make it up to you. Meet me at the Leaky Caldron at 6:00 tonight. I promise that it will be worth it.

Love Harry

Should she go? Part of her wanted to toss the letter in the trash but the other part of her couldn't wait for tonight. She decided to take a chance and go, but whatever it was had better be good. Harry had a lot of explaining to do.
