RECAP
But how long is too long to wait for that one person who holds your heart?
It's been seven years and three months since that fate-full day and yet I still find myself unconsciously, unknowingly waiting…
END RECAP
My name is Harry James Potter and I found my self falling for my best friend, I guess it was all the little things she did for me over the years, but I never actually thanked her for it until that day, it's been about 7 years and 3 months since I saw her holding back her tears as she watched me walk thru the veil, but what she doesn't know is that I've returned.
FLASHBACK
"I'll come back." I said to her on that day 7 years ago.
"I know." She said and somehow I knew that she was the one.
END FLASHBACK
So here I am, I kept my promise to her, but will she forgive me for being gone for so long? Dumbledore says that she will, but I'm a little afraid that when she sees me she'll hex me to next week and back again. (and for good reason too, she's the smartest witch in Hogwarts since my mom.)
It's kind of ironic really, I mean my dad fell for a muggle-born witch who (for give me for saying this) was a know-it-all, it figures that I fell for a muggle-born witch who is a know-it-all. I guess it runs in the genes.
Dumbledore has just come back, I think he wants me to go over to her apartment and surprise her, but what do you say to a person when you've been gone for 7 years? And what happens when she's moved on and is married and has children? I just hope I'm not about to make the biggest mistake of my life.
"Are you ready Harry?" Dumbledore asked me.
I really don't know if I'd ever be ready, but instead of saying that I said "Yes, I'm ready Professor."
"Please Harry call me Albus, as I am no longer your teacher." Dumbledore said then added "Well then let us be off."
Dumbledore stepped in to the fire place. "Hermione Granger!" he called out then disappeared with a green flame.
A few seconds latter he landed in Hermione Granger's apartment.
Hermione waked into her study hearing the whoosh of someone arriving, which was unexpected.
"Professor Dumbledore!" she exclaimed in surprise.
"Please Hermione, call me Albus." Dumbledore said.
"I'm sorry Albus, but I wasn't expecting you to come." She said
"Well, I should have warned you I was coming over I suppose." Albus said.
"Well what brings you all the way out here?" she asked.
"Actually, it's about…" Albus started but never finished as another whoosh came from the fireplace.
"H…Ha… Harry?" She asked stunned.
He grinned at her "The one and only."
She stared at him in shock, then she fainted.
A/N: I'm going to be evil and end it here, I think I will do ONE more chapter, but I'm not sure yet. R&R please.
