Harry found them sitting by the fire in the common room talking.

"Hey everyone!" Harry said as he walked over, "You'll never believe what just happened."

"Harry? I thought you were in the hospital." Hermione said.

"I was but Emily took me out today," Instantly at the mention of her name Hermione and Ron's eyes darkened.

"What were you doing with her? Is she trying to steal you from us again?" Ron spat.

"Ron, don't say that." Then Hermione said under her breath, "Even if it is true."

"What did Emily do to you?"

"Isn't it obvious Harry? She is trying to take you away from us."

"First of all she is not trying to take me away from you! Secondly if you are angry at her why are you taking it out on me?" Harry paused for a moment before saying in a deathly calm voice, "You spent all you're time ignoring what I had to say and just heard what you wanted to hear. She helped me at my lowest point, and listened to me. That is all I ever wanted is for someone to listen to me, and not try to keep secrets."

By this time Hermione was almost sobbing. "Oh Harry! I'm so sorry. We were horrible to you. We should have listened to you instead of being jealous. Can you ever forgive us?"

"Yeah mate. We were being a couple of jealous gits. We sorry."

"Of course I forgive you. How could I not? You have been my best friends since I was 11." After he finished talking Hermione threw herself on him and started sobbing hysterically. "'Mione it's okay. Can you let go please! I still have to show you something."

"What are you showing us mate? It's not another one like her is it?"

"Ron!"

"I'm sorry, but she knows everything! She can answer you before you even ask a question."

"Don't worry Ron. We are going to my home, although she might be there."

"Wait a minute Harry did you say "my home" as in you live there-"

She was cut off by Ron. Who said warily, "As in the Dursleys?"

"You'll see." He gave a cheesy grin before saying, "Go down to the grounds. It's easier to leave from there. I'll meet you down there. I have to get something first."

"Harry are we apparating?" Harry just smiled again, "But Harry it's impossible."

"I know." With that he ran up the stairs to the boys dormitories.

"Wait Harry!"

"Come on Hermione. We have to trust him remember, and listen to him."

"Well Ronald, it is very difficult to listen to him when he doesn't say anything."

"Just come on!" Ron said as he pulled her through the portrait hole.

Harry jogged down the stairs with his trunk in his pocket before stopping by the fire.

"Hey Gin aren't you coming?"

She looked up at him like a deer caught in headlights. With a squeaky voice she said, "No. No. I better not. I-I Have a lot of home work to catch up on."

He gave her a disbelieving look before saying, "Right. This wouldn't have anything to do with my letter to you would it?"

"N-no. W-why would it?"

"Because I told you I was in love with you before I ran off not knowing whether I was going to die or not."

She sighed before saying, "Well what do you expect me to do. Run into your arms and confess my undying love for you?"

"No, but I was kind of hoping you would at least talk to me." She glared at him, "Look I'm sorry alright? The whole idea was stupid. I should have known you don't love me. Oh well I tried at least." He sighed, "Well I should go before Ron and Hermione come looking for me."

As he got up he heard her say, "I never said I wasn't in love with you."

He stared at her wide eyed as she got up and walked over to him. "Harry. I could never not love you." With that said she kissed him. It was soft and sweet.

It was Harry broke the kiss, "Do you want to come with us?"

"I thought you would never ask."
