Previously In Harry's True Love….

"Yes they did," She said angrily. "Kira if you want him so bad why don't you go in there and get him?"

"Because I don't like him like that. I actually like one of his best friends. I think you know him or heard of him by now," Kira said as she turned towards her. "His name is Ryan, Ryan Adams.


"Looking for me?" Harry said from behind her and Hermione surprised whipped around to see Harry fully dressed sitting down in a chair.

"Harry?"

"What not what you were expecting?" He said as he stood up and walked over to her. "Wouldn't go in there if I were you. Unless you want to see Ron naked?"


"Am I interrupting something?"

"No you're fine I was just…never mind." Harry said then stood up. Hermione got up from the bed and slowly walked out with them both looking at her. Once she was out of the room she ran the rest of the way down stairs not looking back.

"So I'm not interrupting something huh. You two looked like you weren't going to stop." Ron said as he walked past him and sat down on a chair.


"What?" Kira asked. "Why are you staring at me?"

"Why are you staring at me?"

"That's not fair I asked you first."

"So sue me." Harry joked then sat back down. Before another fight broke out between them Ryan picked up Kira and walked out of the room. When they were out of sight and hearing distances he set her down.

"Why did you do that?" She asked fixing her dress.

"Didn't want a fight to start." Ryan said as he looked her up and down but she didn't seem to notice.

"Whatever." She said then started to leave.

"Kira wait," He said then she turned around. "I want to talk to you."

"Okay what about?" she asked as she walked back over towards him.

And now here is the new chapter

Chapter 9 "Surprise, Surprise"

"Well are you going to say something or are you just going to stand there all day?" Kira said since he had said nothing. "Fine then." She said once she got no reply and then walked out of the room and joined her friends.

"What was that all about?" Ron said as he saw Kira come in the room.

"Nothing he said he wanted to talk but all he did was stand there." She said then sat down next to Hermione and Seamus.

"Oh. So tell me Kira where did you get that lovely dress? It's just beautiful." Ron said as he stood up and walked over towards Ryan.

"Why would I tell you unless you want one for yourself?" she said then laughed at him along with Rachel and Hermione.

"Yeah I really think that you would look great in it Ron." Hermione said laughing harder.

"Shut up Herms." Ron said then she stopped laughing.

"You shut up Ronald…and stop calling me Herms I hate that name."

Hermione said then stood up. "Does anyone want anything while I'm in the kitchen?"

"Sure something to drink would be nice." Ginny said and pretty much everyone said the same thing.

"Here I'll come with you." Kira said then stood up and followed her out of the room.

"So all Ryan did was stand there." Hermione asked as Kira was taking out some glasses.

"Yeah…I don't know what's wrong with me though because when ever he's around me I can't talk right or do anything with out messing up."

"Kira you like him that's what." Hermione said as she was filling up some of the glasses with ice tea.

"Yeah I know I do…do you ever feel like that?"

"Not telling."

"Come on Hermione your suppose to be helping me."

"Fine but you promises you wont tell anyone."

"I promise."

"I only get that feeling when Harry is around or near me." She said looking at Kira.

"Really?" she asked surprised. "You like him don't you?"

"Well yeah he's a great guy." Hermione said then Harry walked in the kitchen.

"Who's a great guy?" He said as he walked over to the counter by them.

"No one." Hermione said as she put the last glass one the tray.

"Uh huh." Harry said then picked up the tray. "Thought you two would be in here killing each other." He said then walked out of the room with both of them following him.

"Well thank you Harry." Kira said looking at Hermione.

"No problem." He said as he set the tray down on the table.

"Thank you guys you're so nice." Ron said as he grabbed a glass.

"Harry, can I talk to you for a minute?" Hermione asked him.

"Sure." He said then they started to leave the room. "What's up?"

"I'm just wondering if Luptin or someone called about some information about the report I filed."

"Yeah they did but it's nothing you should worry about Mione. No matter what your safe." Harry said as he came up to her. "I won't let him touch you."

"Okay but was it anything important?"

"Nothing you need to worry about." Harry lied and then kissed her. "So what were you and Kira talking about?"

"Nothing that concerns you." Hermione said as he wrapped his hands around her waist.

"Okay then." Harry said then paused. "Hermione this thing between us…what do you want to do about it?"

"Well after everything is over with Viktor, I would like more then anything to be with you." She said then looked into his eyes.

"How about starting off by being my girlfriend?" Harry suggested.

"I'd like that." She said then smiled at him and he smiled back.

"So Hermione, what would you say about joining me to dinner tonight around seven?"

"Sure I'd love that." She said smiling. "We should probably get back."

"Yeah I think your right." Harry said and then they started walking back with his left arm around her shoulders. When they walked in the room Rachel and Luna were the only ones who noticed them.

"So you said you were going out with Lindsay, right?" Ron asked still confused.

"Yes Ron, we already went over this five times." Rachel said as she stood up. "Ryan is going out with Lindsay…hi you two." She said as she walked over to them.

"What's wrong with Kira?" Harry asked as he noticed that she was sitting on the couch with her head down.

"Don't know really. She's been like that since Seamus brought up Lindsay." Rachel said as she looked at Kira.

"I'm sorry who?" Harry asked confused.

"Lindsay is Ryan's girlfriend." Rachel said then looked at them. "Don't worry Seamus was the only one who knew until he brought it up…and well she's been like that ever since." Rachel said as Hermione looked over at Kira and she thought it looked like she was crying. Hermione let go of Harry and went over to Kira then sat down next to her. Ron stopped talking as he saw Hermione put her arms around her. Having no clue what was going on the rest of them looked over at them as she let go of Kira.

"You okay honey?" She asked her as she pulled her brown hair back from her face, "Kira?" Hermione said slowly but still getting no reply.

"Hey what's wrong with her?" Harry asked as he came up behind Hermione. "Kira what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Harry asked nicely then turned around to face his friends. "Okay what did you guys do to her?"

"What do you mean what did we do to her, we did nothing." Ron said as he stood up. "I wasn't even talking to her that much."

"Ron, why do you have to be so dramatic?"

"Because it's fun, why do you have to be so over protective?" Ron said and then received a death glare from Harry. "Never mind you don't have to answer that."

"That's what I thought." Harry said then turned his attention back to Kira. "Are you okay sweetie?"

"Kira?" Hermione said since they had gotten no response. All Kira did was continue to cry, with silent tears coming down her face.

"It's only going to help us, if you tell us what's wrong?" Rachel said as she wrapped her arms around her shoulders, leaning forward from behind her. Kira did nothing but continue to cry with everyone watching. Ryan was standing on the other side of the room and then started to walk forward. "Kira please say something?" Rachel whispered in her ear. "Remember when we called Ron and told him that Ginny was going out with Ron and he started to scream at us?" she whispered in her ear and then they both started to laugh. "Come on what's wrong KK?" Rachel, practically begging her to talk. "Please."

"Come on Kira a good friend is one willing to help. Tell us what's bothering you?" Hermione said then Ryan crouched down in front of her trying to look into her eyes.

"Kira, are you going to tell us what's wrong?" He asked in a soothing voice. "Were only going to help you sweetie, not hurt you." He said only making her cry harder since he never called her that before. "Here come with me." Ryan said as he stood up grabbing her hands and forced her up. He then put his left arm around her shoulders and started to walk out of the room with Kira in his chest. Once they reached the stairs he picked her up and she wrapped her arms around his neck so she wouldn't fall, and then leaned forward. Ryan started walking up the stairs with out knowing that he was the reason she was crying. Once he reached one of many guest rooms he laid her down on the bed and sat down next to her. "This has to do with me doesn't it?" He asked looking at her. "Kira do you like me more then a friend?"

"Why do you care you have Lindsay." She said barely above a whisper but he heard her loud and clear.

"Kira listen to me Lindsay is a great person I'll tell you that…but your different okay. Your not like any other girl." He said as he put his left arm on the other side of her body so he was leaning forward.

"How am I different?" She whispered but a little louder this time.

"Kira you don't usually act like this that's for sure. But you are different because you never let what others say bother you, you never put anyone down, your always cheerful no matter what happens. Your smarter then anyone else I know including Hermione." He started to tell her. "And you dress how you want to dress not like how everyone else wants you to. You have a good personality, and I love your since of humor, and your also the most beautiful girl I have ever saw." He said looking her right in the eyes. After he said that her eyes grew really wide making him smile at her. "You are Kira…and I do admit that I have feeling towards you, it's just I don't want this to ruin our friendship if something does go wrong."

"What makes you think that it won't work?" Kira said in a normal voice.

"I never said that it wont work out I just don't want to lose our friendship because of it."

"Ryan what if it does though and what if something happens in a result of that, something good then what would you do?"

"But I'm with Lindsay now Kira." He said with sadness in his eyes.

"Okay…I understand." She said then turned on her side and closed her eyes. "I want to be alone, so can you please leave." She said in a trembling voice but Ryan didn't leave. He just laid down next to her, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek. He then put his head on her shoulder and whispered something into her ear. He then out of no where, started kissing her neck. At first she tried to push him off but realized that he actually wanted her so she turned towards him and kissed him on the lips. Go it felt so good and when she was least expecting it he had his tong in her mouth. She immediately closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him back. He turned them so she was on top of him since he didn't want to crush her. When they finally pulled apart he smiled at her and she smiled back. Ryan wrapped his arms around her and eventually she fell asleep with him right behind her.

When seven o'clock came Hermione walked downstairs and into the living room to see Harry wearing black genes and a blue long sleeve shirt that he had buttoned up most of the way leaving only three buttons undone. Hermione was wearing a silk pink dress that went down to her finger tips and a pair of white dress shoes. She had her hair up half way and was just standing there smiling at him.

"Wow…Hermione you look beautiful." Harry said coming up to her.

"Thanks Harry," She said smiling at him. "So where are we going?"

"You'll see when we get there…but there is one this I need you to do."

"What's that?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Yes Harry, I trust you."

"Then I'm going to put this on you but I will take it off once we get there I promises." Harry said as he started to put a blind fold around her eyes.

"Okay." Was all she said as he finished tying it. Once he was done he went in front of her.

"Can you see anything?" He asked waving his hands in front of her face.

"No why am I suppose to?"

"No." Harry said then grabbed her hand and started leading her towards the back of the house. Once they were both outside he took the blind fold off. "Open your eyes Hermione." Harry said and once she did she gasped. There was a table in the middle of his backyard with the food already there and flowers in the center along with two candle. Around the table there were lights and candles that lit up the backyard, and if you looked up at the sky you could see all of the stars including the moon which was only half way full.

"Harry this is beautiful." She said as they walked forwards. "…and this is your backyard?" she asked him.

"Yeah it is." He said as he pushed out her chair so she could sit down. Once she did he pushed it in a little then sat down on the other side facing her.

"Thank you." She said then smiled at him. "Your such a gentlemen Harry. There's not to many out there like you."

"Yeah I know, most men these days are jerks." Harry said reaching for the bottle of sham pain. Then pored it since he already had it opened. He gave her a glass then they banged them together for fun and said cheers. They both removed the pan or what ever it was that was covering the food, and put it on a cart that they had by them and then started to eat.

"Wow Harry this is great did you cook it?"

"Actually believe it or not yes." Harry said then she smiled at him. "So what did you think of today? Did you have fun?"

"Yes I did have fun and it was rather enjoyable." Hermione said then paused for a second. "I just hope that everything is all right with Kira."

"Yeah me too, haven't seen her since Ryan took her upstairs." Harry said while eating.

"Wonder what that was all about?" She said as she looked at him.

"I'm sure there fine and that Ryan is in there trying to comfort her as we speak." Harry said which made her feel better.

"Yeah I'm sure he is." She said going back to eating. "So am I good company?"

"No not really." He said and received a glare from her. "You are great company…and I have to say you are a really nice person."

"Really?" she asked still looking at him.

"Really, I really like you Hermione and…"

"What do you like about me?" She said cutting him off.

"Well one how you like to interrupt people." He said sarcastically.

"I'm serious Harry."

"I know, I was only kidding. Well let's see your smart, kind, caring, you love to help others, and you don't let other people that need help down." Harry started to say. "You have a great since of humor, better then mine I have to say." He said which made her laugh and he smiled at her.

"Well thank you Harry."

"No problem," He said. "So how about some dessert?"

"Sure what is it?"

"Cherry pie." He said then took away there plats and put the pie down in front of them.

"My favorite, how did you know?" she asked then started to eat it.

"Ron told me."

"Oh did he now…oh I'll just have to thank him later." She said then finished eating. Once they were all done Harry took the plates away and then vanished the tray away but waving his hand at it. "Shall we?" He asked holding out his arm. Hermione smiled then stood up and wrapped her arm around his as they began to walk towards the house.

"Thanks for tonight Harry. I really like it…and maybe we could do this again sometime."

"Yeah maybe we should." He said then smiled as she rested her head on his shoulder. When they walked in the house everyone either went home or picked a room and went to sleep because the house was empty. Wouldn't blame them since it was now ten thirty. Harry shut the door behind him and locked it. They both headed towards the living room and sat down on the couch with Hermione on his lap.

"Thanks again for dinner Harry, you really are a great cook." She said as she tilted her head up to look at him.

"Thanks." He said then kissed her. Once they finally broke apart, they just sat there in each others arms enjoying each others company. Harry wrapped his arms around her as she leaned back into his chest putting her legs up on the rest of the couch and closed her eyes. About five minutes later Harry fell asleep dreaming of Hermione. (A/N: I was going to stop there but I'll keep going.)

The next morning Harry woke up to find Luna and Ginny staring at him with big smiles on there faces.

"What are you guys doing in my room?" Harry asked since he forgot that he didn't make it up there. "And what time is it?"

"Well Harry it is nine thirty in the morning and you aren't in your room. Your in the living room." Luna said as she sat down on the table.

"Oh." He said and then tried to get up but couldn't so he looked to his left and saw Hermione sleeping next to him. "Oh no wonder why. We both fell asleep sometime around ten forty and never mad it upstairs."

"Yes well we can see that, so how was the date?" Ginny asked him as Hermione woke up.

"Fantastic." Hermione said as she sat up.

"Good morning sleep head…and that's good to hear." Luna said as she stood up.

"Morning." Harry said then kissed her.

"Good morning." She said as he finally pulled away.

"Yeah you two need to get a room." Ginny said then stood up. "I'll be in the kitchen if anyone needs me or cares." She said then left with Luna behind her.

"Sleep well?" Harry asked as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him.

"Yes I did actually for once, you?"

"Was the best I slept in three weeks." He said then smiled at her. "Yes I did." He said then she kissed him so he couldn't say anything else.


When Kira woke up she felt a pair of arms around her waist. She carefully and quickly turned around to see Ryan looking at her.

"How long have you been awake?" Kira asked as he pulled her closer to him.

"About ten minutes." Ryan said then kissed her on the lips and she kissed him back. When they finally broke apart she smiled at him and he smiled back. "Just waiting for you to wake up." He said then let go of her and sat up.

"Oh." She said then sat up as well. "I think I'm gonna go downstairs and let everyone know that I'm alive." Kira said then stood up and Ryan stood up with her.

"I'll come with you." He said then grabbed her hand. She looked at him for a moment then started to walk downstairs with Ryan right at her side. "Looks like no one else is up." Ryan said then they walked in the living room to find Harry and Hermione kissing each other and it looked like they weren't going to stop. "Get a room!" Ryan yelled and then they both pulled apart and saw Ryan and Kira standing there. The only thing that surprised them though was that they were holding hands.

"So we hear." Harry said as they both came in and sat down.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Kira asked as she leaned back against the couch.

"It means that its not the first time today that we have been told that." Hermione said and Kira smiled at her. "So are you okay from yesterday Kira?" Hermione asked her.

Kira looked at Ryan and he looked at her the she said, "Yeah we talked about it yesterday and everything's fine." She said then Ryan smiled at her and she smiled back at him.

"Well that's good to hear because I was worried when you weren't saying anything yesterday. I thought something happened to a family member or something." Harry said which made her smile even bigger and then the radio came on and one of Hermione's and Kira's favorite songs came on. (A/N: It's called This I Swear by Nick Lachey)

You're there by my side
In every way
I know that you would not forsake me
I give you my life
Would not think twice
Your love is all I need believe me

I may not say it quite as much as I should
When I say I love you darling that means for good
So open up your heart and let me in
And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear

I'm wondering how I ever got by
Without you in my life to guide me
Where ever I go the one thing that's true
Is everything I do I do for you

I may not say it quite as much as I should
When I say I love you darling that means for good
So open up your heart and let me in
And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear

So whenever you get there
Just reach out for me
I'll never let you down my love

And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear

And I will love you 'til forever
Until death do us part we'll be together
So take my hand and hold on tight
And we'll get there
This I swear

When the song was over Harry said, "You know Kira I was really worried about you yesterday."

"Sorry didn't mean to make you guys worry about me like that."

"Yeah right." Harry said then they both started laughing.

"Hey what's so funny?" Rachel asked as she came in the room with Luna, Ginny, Ron and everyone else that stayed there last night.

"Something you wouldn't understand. It's something me and Kira do that you wont get." Harry said smiling at her.

"Yeah he knows how to cheer me up most of the time with it." Kira said and smiled back at him.

"Oh so how was the date?" Rachel asked as she sat down on the other couch across from them.

"Great everything went just fine." Harry said and then the phone rang.

"Hello Potter residents?" Ryan said as he picked up the phone.

"Yes can you put Hermione on the phone if she's there please?" The male voice said on the other end.

"Sure hold on." He said then held it out in front of him. "Hermione." He said then she took it.

"Potter residents." Harry said.

"What I always wanted to do that." Ryan said and everyone laughed.

"Whatever." Hermione said the put the phone to her ear. "Hello this is Hermione speaking?"

"Hermione." The voice said and then her eyes went really wide.

A/N: Sorry about the cliffhanger I didn't want to keep on writing because I been on this computer for about I don't know 5 hours typing and doing other things. It's fun though writing and reading is something I love doing for fun. Please update because the more reviews I get the faster the next chapter gets up.
