Chapter 8:Dating
A few weeks later since harry saw hermione, harry was at work during his lunch break, he decided that he should go and see her.
International call center>
When harry arrived at the place where hermione worked at, he didn't really kno where she was, so he went over to the infromation desk to ask."Umm..miss, where can i find the Groundwood international call center?
"The twelfth floor, sir" answered the teller "Um.."before harry could say anything he saw hermione walking right behind him."Hermione! Hermione!" called harry and just when hermione got his attention, he slipped while he was going after her. "Harry! Are you alright?" asked Hermione, helping him up.
"I'm okay"
"What are you doing here?"asked hermione.
"Um..i was...nothing really..just came by"said harry.
"Oh..ok"
"Hermione, Have you had lunch yet?" asked harry Hermione started to smile when harry asked her if she had lunch yet, coz she was thinking maybe harry might want to have lunch together.
"Um..not yet. why?"Hermione asked calmly.
"Do you want to have lunch together? My treat."
"Sure"
Lunch>
"Actually this isn't my job permently. I really want to go to america and get at job there. I finshed my physical therpy, but i have to save up so i took this job instead," said hermione. "the starting slary was so big and my parents wouldn't let me leave,anyways. My mum would kill me if she finds out I plan to go to the states. She doesn't like americans. She's too patriotic"
"Why?" asked Harry.
Once Harry and Hermione sat down to eat, Hermione continued to tell her story. "Its been six months since we lasted talked to my mum. Before she even joined that movement when i was still young...my was vetern activist. She has been tear gased, she was jailed for illegal assembly,she's been hospitalized six times because of riots and she's been hit with a bat! You i never been to america, but i like there already. I'll show you the picture of my cousin's house there"
As hermione was searching for that picture, harry saw a picture frame containing a picture of a woman that came from hermione's bag, and wanted to kno who it was. "Is this your mum?" Hermione looked up at Harry and looked at the picture and answered quietly,"Yeah". Harry and Hermione were quiet for a moment, when harry asked hermione about all this stuff that had just came out of hermione huge bag. "Hermione, why do carry all this stuff with you"
"Well you'll never know when you'll need any of it!"hermione answered happliy. "If your head hurts.. i have paracetamol, anti-allgery and antacid. And if you need a pen" hermione took out a periwrickle bag containing colourful pens"take your pick, 24 colours!" Harry laughed when hermione showed him her 24 colour pen bag.(a/n: i kno this part is sort of stupid, but bear with me here.)
Back at the International call center>
After lunch, Hermione and harry headed back to the call center since hermione's lunch break was over. "Thanks for lunch,Harry. I hope it happens again." Thanked hermione. "Sure," said harry. "I mean since your your office is near, so why not"
"So near that you can walk over," she said. Harry looked at hermione with a weird look on his face,"You know where my office is?" He asked.
"Umm..didn't you say that it's very near?" asked hermione with a small laugh. "Ok...well i'm gonna go back. bye"
Just as hermione was about to go to the elevator harry shouted something to her. "Hermione! are you doing anything...on Saturday night"
'Did i just hear that!" thought hermione and she turned to face him. "I'm doing anything," she answered," Why?"
Saturday Night>
As Harry arrived at hermione's house, he took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell(a/n:i kno this part is sort of dumb..), once he rang the doorbell, hermione's dad answered the door. "umm..good evening sir," harry greeted politely. "Good evening." answered mr.granger "Please come in, Hermione should be ready in a few mintues." "Thank you" said harry as he entered the house.
While Harry was waiting for hermione, hermione's brother, her dad, and harry started to talk. "We don't have any province," said harry when hermione's dad asked him a question (a/n: i don't kno wat the question...so dont ask me wat the question was). "Every body has his own province," mr.granger replied. "Where did you come from"
"My mom..my mom's family is orginally from Hertfordshire." said harry.
"I see.." said hermione's brother. "Is she pro or anti-abortion?" asked mr.granger.
"huh"
"Is she for...family planning?" mr.granger asked again.
"Well...um..my family is very religious," replied harry. Before hermione's dad and brother begin to make harry feel unwelcome, Hermione came down the stairs in a hurry wearing a red top with a black skirt and her was very wavy. Everyone turned to see her come down the stairs calmly. "Look at yourself, you look like a hag," said hermione's brother drinking beer. Hermione gave him a wide-eyed look,"don't say that!" she whispered to him and pinched his nose so hard; Hermione turned towards harry and gave him a smile," So where are we going for dinner?"
Restaurant>
"I've been wanting to come back here," said harry while they were eating."The food is so great here plus it's cheap." Hermione was trying to listen but was having a hard time using her chopsticks,'bloody chopsticks,' she thought. "you really are prepared for our date, huh?" asked harry looking at her.
Hermione looked at him and put down her chop sticks, "not really"
"You're fully dressed up," replied harry.
"Oh yes. So you wouldn't fail...to notice me," she said.
" You succed in you mission," said harry." I didn't fail to notice you at all."
After they eat dinner, harry and hermione went to a club to have a little fun."That's enough," said harry when he saw hermione drink alot. "Why"
"You've had too much," he answered.
"Oh come harry. That's not too much in our family," said Hermione." How about you? You're the one who's had too much! You already had 2 bottles, and you're looking flushed." After Hermione said those things, Harry began to put his hand on his face to check if is face was warm, but then all of sudden hermione grabbed harry by the shirt! "what!" said harry.
"Wait," said hermione.
"What are you doing"
"There!" said hermione who was holding a eyelash that came from harry."As they say, if you get an eyelash, you have to make a wish. hold on," Hermione closed her eyes and made a wish and then blew the eyelash; once hermione re-opened her eyes, harry too found an "eyelash" on hermione." you also have one"
"What did you wish for?" asked hermione.
"Secret," replied harry while removing hermione's hand off his shirt."Let's just drink"
"ok," was all hermione said.
After a few drinks and dancing, Harry took hermione home and they arrived at her house around 11-ish laughing and talking. "Just go to sleep, you drank too much." said harry escorting hermione to the door.
"how many times to i have to tell you i don't get drunk, okay?" respond hermione.
"I'll just call you," harry said.
"Next time, don't tell me just do it, okay," Once hermione was going to the door, she tripped, but just in time harry got her before she hit the floor. While in the arms of harry, hermione was looking at harry smiling,"Um..hermione..could you let go now?" asked harry while looking at hermione who was still holding on to him."Oh sorry harry. If you were thinking of doing something, just do it because i won't get mad," hermione said.
"You're one-of-kind aren't you"
"Of course, i'm truly different," respond hermione. As she closed her eyes, she made her lips stick out hoping that harry will kiss her, but harry was looking at her and was having second thoughts if he wanted to kiss her or not; Harry decided to just give her a kiss on her cheek. "Was that okay"
"Ok. A kiss for grandma," said hermione who was a bit disappointed.
"You know what, you should probably go inside, or else your dad and brother might think we're doing something we shouldn't," said harry.
"They also did that when they were young,"hermione said. "Okay then, you've been saying good-bye, but you wouldn't leave yet"
"Haha. Bye," said harry "Bye"
"Good night hermione"
"good night. mwah." said hermione blowing harry a kiss. As hermione was heading for the door harry was wondering what he should do next. he decided to kiss hermione right now, so he jumped over their gate and saw hermione going towards the door."Hermione! wait"
"yeah har--" before hemione could say another word, harry gave her a kiss goodnight on her lips. "Good night hermione,"said harry as he broke off the kiss and went back to his car.
'There are scienctific studies that prove that love is just caused by a chemical reaction. Is it only chemicals that make us feel this way?'
As harry was driving home, his phone began to ring and he check that he got a text message that came from hermione that said 'Plze drive safely; I hope that you are happy like me.)' Harry was happy when he saw her text message and went with a smile on his face.
'Is it just a natural reaction that every song you hear is written for your love story? Why all people who fall in love suddenly lose their senses and feel like they're walking in the clouds?'
back at hermione's house, hermione was walking slowly up to her door like she was walking on a cloud; as she was admiring the stars, her brother came to see if she was there." hey"
"David," said hermione (a/n:i decided to give her brother a name)
"What are you doing there?" he asked.
"Isn't life so beautiful?" she said dreamily.
"You've been drinking again haven't you," he said and went back inside the house.
'Days are marked with happy memories. Every moment becomes a chapter of a story full of love and meaning. Why suddenly in the name of love, you can do things you never thought you can do? Why do you suddenly have the patience? The guts? And most of all, why does it feel so happy? Indeed, Why does it feel so happy'
