I havnt read da 6th book so anything dat is similar is a complete coincidence & im not using anything dat happened in da 6th book.
Voldemort's dead. I duno how or wen Harry defeated him but it wood hav been sum time in his 6th yr.
Also, I will not b riting wif da characters going 2 Hogwarts. Da heading says 'Event Filled Summer' & it will only b da summer holidays.
Lastly, da H/Hr coupling will not happen 'til da very end. Im still not even sure how they will get 2gether. Im riting it as I go. Any advice that u, my readers, can give me will b greatly appreciated

Story: Event-filled Summer
Chapter 2: Hermione's Visit
Hermione was laughing hysterically at Harry. Harry was just standing there looking dumb (A/N: By da way its bak 2 Harry/Normal POV), staring at the girl in front of him.
"H-Hermione?" he questioned dumbly, even though he knew it was her. She looked different though. She had straightened her hair and added blonde tips. She was taller, but so was Harry so it was hard to tell. Overall, she looked really good.
Hermione looked at Harry. As soon as she realized he wasn't joking, she stopped laughing. She was getting a bit worried about him now.
"Umm, Harry? Is everything Ok? Are you Ok?" she asked him slowly, thinking she might scare him. He looked very confused, and even a little scared.
Without warning, he grabbed her by the shoulders and slammed her against the garage door.
"Who. Are. You?" Harry interrogated.
"Harry, what…" but with the look Harry gave her she decided to answer him without question. "Hermione, Hermione Granger, your school friend."
"What school? Who is the Headmaster?"
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Professor Dumbledore." Hermione was worried about Harry, but she tried to hide it.
"Hagrid. Who is he? What pet did he hav in 1st year?"
"He had two pets Harry. Fang the bore-hound and Norbert the Dragon. He was a Norwegian Ridgeback."
"The other pet. The one that no-one knew about."
"Umm … Harry, I don't know what-" he cut her off "-the guard."
"Oh, you mean Fluffy don't you. Yes, Fluffy the 3-headed-dog. He guarded the Philosophers Stone. We had to get past Fluffy in our first year so you could fight Voldemort. Ron came with us. Do you remember Ron, Harry? He is also your best friend. Harry what is wrong with you? Why all the questions?" She said all this quickly before he added anything in. She was very worried about him. He wasn't ever like this.
Harry instantly released the grip he had on her. "Sorry Hermione. I guess I was just shocked to see you. I mean this is the first time you have come to Privet Drive to see me. You could have been anyone. You look really different. That's in a good way. I dunno, I guess I just thought you were an old Death Eater trying to get revenge on me or something and…" Harry just trailed off. He still didn't like talking bout how he defeated Voldemort. No one knew apart from himself and he liked it that way. A few people asked but he preferred to keep it to himself and didn't tell them anything.
"Oh. I'm sorry Harry. I didn't think of anything like that. I just came to see you. I thought it would be a bit different and … hang on … Harry, this is all new," she gestured around to the garden, "Please don't tell me the Dursley's made you do all this." She looked at him sorrowfully hoping that he hadn't done all this work.
"Err … does it matter if I did?" Harry didn't want to tell Hermione he had not only done the Dursley's but Mrs Figg's as well.
"Yes Harry, of course it matters, it means they are mistreating you. I mean, they had you painting … and … wait a minute … you were painting Harry. You threw me against wet paint didn't you." She was glaring at him.
"Err … well … it … it's only your jacket, so … you could … always take it off and … I dunno…" he didn't think Hermione would really notice or care.
"Potter this is a new jacket! You have just ruined my new jacket. If you think for one second that you –" but she didn't get to finished what would happen to him
"Hang on … since when do you care about how you look. You've never cared how you look when we're at school." He tried to subdue her anger on him.
"Harry, you are trying to change the subject. I can't believe that you actually did all of this." As she was looking around, she noticed Mrs Figg's yard and how it looked suspiciously similar. "Harry, now please don't tell me they made you do that too." She was now furious at the Dursleys and how they were treating him like a slave.
"Well, kinda." Harry tried lamely
"What do you mean 'kinda' Harry? It is a very simple question. You answer either yes or a no. There is no 'kindas'. She was now seething with anger.
"Well … it is a kinda. I mean I did some of it. Mrs Figg actually hired someone else to do most of it. She is a Squib you know? It hasn't been too bad this summer. Actually, I get to go shopping with her, and she has been paying me and everything. I have bought myself a few things. The Dursley's don't think she is paying me as much as she is, so I can't buy anything that I want. Yer, for once I've been having a half decent time, even if the Dursley's treat me like dirt."
"Oh," was all Hermione said. She looked disappointed
"Well if I knew that was how you would react I guess I should have said that I was having a horrible time and wanted to be anywhere but here and that it was the worst summer I've ever had in my life," Harry joked.
"Oh, no Harry that isn't what I meant," Hermione started obviously not noticing that Harry wasn't serious. "I came here with a reason actually. Umm, Harry my parents and I were speaking and we decided that you could stay with us for the holidays. But if you don't want to I completely understand." She finished lamely.
"What? Are you for real? You mean I could actually get away from this place and stay with you? Awesome! This is the best news I've had." This raised Hermione mood considerably. "Well when can I stay. Hang on … how did you get to this conclusion? I mean normally you tell me it is safest to stay with the Dursley's just put up with them. What has changed now?"
"My parents and I decided that this wasn't exactly the best place for you to stay after all. I mean, they treat you like a slave."
"That's 'cause they do treat me like a slave," Harry mumbled under his breath. Unfortunately, Hermione heard him.
"Harry, what these people are doing to you isn't right. If it were anyone else, you would've been treated with love and respect. Trust me. Not all family's are like the Dursley's. That's why its better if you aren't with them."
"Well gee. I could have told you that the Dursleys isn't the best place for me to stay. Wait! Brainwave, I do tell you that this isn't the best place for me to stay. Every year. As soon as we get off the Hogwarts express. I always tell you how my life would be so much better if I didn't have to go with the Dursley's But you know what? I've grown to live with it. I finaly realized that I've got no hope of getting me way. Dumbledore will always make sure of that. 'You have to stay safe Harry'. Well I would be safer without the Dursley's. I haven't got Voldemort after me anymore so I didn't see why he made me come back. I could have gone anywhere, but no! I had to stay here and paint a bloody door and design a stupid garden!" Harry was fuming now. He was turning red with rage.
"Harry, please don't get angry. I'm sorry I asked. I just thought…" She didn't know exactly what she thought. Harry would always over react. She was kinda asking for it, showing up unexpected like she did.
"What did you think Hermione?" Harry asked, coldly
"I don't know!" she threw her hand in the air in frustration. "I guess I thought that you would be happy to be ably to get away from here, I thought that you would like to have fun and do something interesting over the holidays, and you know what Harry, I thought you would be happy to see me. I guess not. I'm sorry for wasting yours and my time." And with that, she abruptly turned, and started to walk off.
Harry just stared at her. 'Far out. I'm so stupid. She didn't deserve that. She didn't do anything wrong. Look now she's walking away. Stop her Potter, what are you an idiot?'
"Hermione, wait." Harry called, as he ran over to her. " I'm sorry. You didn't deserve that. I was just totally shocked by the fact that you showed up. I mean what would you do if I just showed up at your place." She just stood there looking at him
"Did you want to come inside? No one else is home so we wont be interrupted. We can talk there."
She smiled, "Sure Harry. We can talk inside," she smiled at him and they both walked over to the Dursley's house.
A/N: O.K. I edited da end of this. I need evry1 2 remind me not to write at nite. I really screwed up da ending, lol. Nxt chap is just Harry having a kinda make-ova. Mrs Figg thought it would b a nice idea. I dont c how its important but wateva.
