The dream
The next morning Mr. and Mrs. Granger were walking down the stairs getting ready to leave for work.
"We need to talk to them about this, I mean especially with him staying here and in the room across from hers" Mr. Granger was telling his wife. Obviously he was not exactly thrilled about the fact that he had just hours ago walked in on a boy kissing his one and only daughter not to mention the fact that he was laying on top of her.
"Oh, just let them be for a little bit. They're just kids in love…don't ruin it" Mrs. Granger was smiling at her husband as they got to the bottom of the stairs.
He had stopped dead in his tracks and was staring into the living room "you see what I mean" he said to his wife pointing at the couch.
"Well, maybe a discussion couldn't hurt" he tried not to laugh at the situation. The truth was that she was very excited for her daughter knowing that she had had a crush on Harry for a long time now.
Harry and Hermione were still in the living room. They had fallen asleep on the couch together Harry's arms around her waist.
"Why don't you go warm up the car and Ill wake them up" She told her husband
After he had reluctantly left Mrs. Granger walked into the living room and quietly said "Hermione…Harry its time to wake up" finally reaching them she gently touched her daughters arm shaking her lightly until she started to stir " there you go love, up you get"
Hermione finally opened her eyes "hmmm?" she asked sitting up and looking around. Waking up and seeing that she was in the living room with Harry and her mother sitting in front of them
"Mum, ummm" Hermione started not quite sure what to say
"Don't worry you don't have to explain to me, but your father on the other hand isn't too happy, he wants to have a conversation with the two of you when we get home tonight" she told her daughter "ill try to calm him down a bit before me get home" she said as he left the room and walked out of the door.
"Great" Hermione thought to herself "a conversation". Putting that thought out of her brain figuring it wasn't for quite a while she turned to the matter at hand. How to best wake Harry up. Deciding on a plan she went into action.
She lay back down so that she was eye to eye with him. Leaning in she gently placed her lips on top of his. As this didn't do the trick she whispered "Harry, time to get up" never taking her lips off of his.
Slowly he stirred a smile crept on to his face. As the kiss came to an end he put his forehead on hers and whispered " Hi"
"Hi" she smiled "sleep well?" she asked
"Of Course… I got to hold you all night" he replied kissing her nose.
"Good answer" she said with a smile kissing him again.
"I like this" she said with a smile as their kiss ended leaning her forehead against his and wrapping her arms around him and pulling him close.
"I do too" he said hugging her back.
After sitting in each others arms for a while Hermione looked up and asked "What do you want to do today?"
"This" he said with a smile as he kissed her.
"I like that idea" she said into his mouth, and began to laugh as Harry slid his hands down her back and onto her waist.
"What?" he asked
"Nothing…nothing it just tickled a bit" she said regaining her composer
"Oh, sorry" he said kissing her "Won't let it happen again" he said in a mock serious voice
"Lets see that it doesn't" she said mirroring his tone trying not to laugh.
After awhile she and Harry got up and made breakfast then spent the rest of the day just laying around the house together talking and laughing. At about half past four Hermione remembered that her parents wanted to talk to them. "Harry, I almost forgot" she said sitting up on the couch to face him. She had been laying with her head in his lap as they talked. "My mum and dad want to have a talk with us when they get home. They came down this morning and saw us asleep on the couch still and I think it upset my dad"
Harry looked at her and got a little worried "What do you mean it upset him?" he asked
"Well, I've always been daddy's little girl and its probably just kinda hard for him to see with a boy." She said
"Ok well Ill just have to make him see that I love you and that you are perfectly safe with me" he said taking her hand and kissing it lightly
She smiled at him and whispered "I love you" as she layed her head on his shoulder and but her arms around him and pulled him close.
They stayed like that until her parents came home. When her father walked in her walked over to them and said " I think its time we had a little talk guys"
He wasn't angry like Harry thought he might be, but just seemed like he wanted to let them know a few things. He sat for a few moments trying to decide what to tell them, then began "Now I know you guys have started dating and its new and you can get ratter …erm.. excited…"
"Daddy!" Hermione blushed
"Now let me finish sweetie" he said "I just mean that I want you guys to be careful you don't have to rush into anything, your young and you have along time to figure out what you want to do. So all I ask is that you guys just take you time getting to …know one another before you rush in to …..anything." he finished now really looking either one of them in the eye
"Daddy… were not just some stupid teenagers" Hermione said "We are both responsible adults, well we both will be soon. And believe me we wont do anything irresponsible, I promise" she finished looking up at her father
"Yes, sir I promise too. I don't just want to be with Hermione for that, I really love her sir, so I just want you to know that I'm not going to do anything to hurt her" Harry said
Mr. Granger smiled at the boy sitting in front of him and for the first time since he found out about the two of them he was happy for them. Something about the way that Harry told him he loved his daughter to him that it was true and that he could trust this young man with his daughter
The rest of the talk went a lot better Harry thought. They talked together all four of them then one on one with each of her parents. They set up rules for the rest of the summer and went over to Hermione's horror proper "safety" and the consequences of not being safe. But after all of that they had dinner and really enjoyed the rest of the evening.
After dinner and a few board games Harry turned to Hermione and said "I'm pretty tired I think I'm going to head up to bed"
"Ok, Goodnight" she said stepping forward and kissing him
After a few minutes when the kiss came to an end he smiled and said "goodnight. I love you"
"I love you too" she smiled with one last kiss
As he walked up the stairs she smiled to herself. That was the first time he had said he loved her just because he felt like saying it not because he had to explain him self or anything like that but just because he wanted to. After helping her parents clean up a little she went up to take a shower before going to be.
Hermione turned off the water and reached out and grabbed her robe. She walked over to the mirror and wiped the fog off, she brushed her hair, changed into her pajamas
and walked out of the bathroom.
While in the hall she heard some noises coming from Harry's room. As she got closed she head him scream "NO,"
Worrying she ran in to his room to find him tangled in the sheets sweating and wrestling around in his sleep "No! stop it !" he screamed
"Harry" Hermione said loudly trying to wake him up but it didn't work she tried again, nothing. Moving forward to the bed she trying lightly shaking him awake. "Harry wake up" she said louder this time
When that didn't work she sat on his bed grabbed both his shoulders in her hands and shook him until he woke up "Harry come on now wake up" she said as he finally woke up.
His eyes shot open and the look on his face made Hermione's heart stop for a moment. He looked terrified around the room trying to pull him self out of the dream. As soon as he had completely woken up he broke into a cold sweat and began to shiver.
"Harry what's the matter?" Hermione asked now scared
"Its him…" was all he could get out at the moment
He looked so scared all she could think of was comforting him some how. She reached forward and pull him to her in a tight hug. " its ok its over now" she said rubbing his back. They stayed like that for a little while until she felt him calm down.
"hey are you ok?" she asked " what was your dream about?"
"its him. He… he found out about Dumbledore's plan and got really mad at his death eaters for letting Dumbledore learn so much. He as torturing someone but I couldn't tell who it was." He finished with a shaky voice.
She kissed his cheek and tried her best to smile at him " well it was probably just a dream"
"No," he said almost automatically " it felt so real"
" ok" she said looking at him " then we'll send an owl to Dumbledore tomorrow and let him know what happened"
"yeah that sounds good" he said taking a breath
"Ok get some sleep" she said kissing him lightly on the forehead . when she moved to get up she felt his hand close around her arm.
"Hermione, will you stay with me?" he asked. He didn't look at her but she could tell that he was still shaken up about his dream.
"Of course" she said taking his hand in hers and laying down next to him.he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. She kissed him soflty on the lips and whispered "now, get some rest". They both stayed up for a while longer but neither said anything else. They fell asleep once again in each others arms.
