Harry Potter awoke with a start as someone had viciously opened the curtains, sun pouring onto his face. Ron also awoke and grumbled a loud '5 more minutes mum' until he realized who it was.

"Hermione!" Ron shrieked in an oddly high-pitched voice and threw the covers over his head, Harry following suit. "We're NAKED!"

"Oh, honestly." She tutted. "It's just boxers, which are the same as swim trunks."

"OK… fine… so why have you so rudely woken us up?"

"Because it's Harry's birthday! And Mrs. Weasley said we are leaving for Hogsmeade in 30 minutes."

"30!"

"Well, she told me to wake you guys up an hour ago, but I decided to let you sleep in."

"Thanks, 'Mione." Harry said, finally entering the conversation. "Now could you… umm… leave so we can change?"

"Oh, yes… of course." She blushed "Just meet us downstairs."

Hermione started down the hall when someone calling her name made her stop.

"HERMIONE!" She turned and looked back the way she came.

Ron was sticking his sheet-covered head out the door. "Hermione… Harry needs shampoo…"

"Harry… needs… sham… poo?" she asked.

"YES! Now go." He said and then shut the door.

Hermione sighed and went to her room and got her own shampoo. A bold line stood out "MAKE YOUR HAIR STAY DOWN FLAT FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE!". She laughed and walked down the hall to the boy's room.

"Ron?" She said, knocking on the door. "Ron?" After a few moments she gave up waiting and opened the door. The room was filled with steam and the first thing she saw was Harry. He was bent over, looking through his trunk for something.

"Harry?" She said, unsure. He jumped and spun around, giving her a good look at him. He stood there in only a towel wrapped loosely around his waist, leaving the rest of his tan, toned, wet body for her to see.

(Jessica- that is my favorite line… I wrote it too… aren't I just the best? I love myself sometimes… but I love Tom more… djflkrwatlwer k Kaitlyn is getting mad, back to typing.)

"Hermione… what are you doing here?" for a moment she could only stand there, etching this memory into her brain, but then she realized that Harry had said something.

"Huh?"

"What… are… you doing here?"

"OH!" She held up the shampoo. "Ron told me you ran out of shampoo so I went and got mine." Harry took a few steps closer and took the bottle from her.

"Thanks." She could feel his warm breath on her lips.

"No… problem." She said slowly. Harry started to lean in when the door burst open.

"Harry! I found some shampoo!" Harry and Hermione jumped apart, blushes creeping across their cheeks.

"Uh… thanks Ron, but I already have some."

"What? From who?" Ron stood there, the excited look on his face starting to disappear and the sheet that he had wrapped around himself and over his head went slack.

"Hermione." Harry gestured to Hermione and Ron noticed her for the first time.

"Bloody hell!" Ron jumped and wrapped the sheet around him tighter. "Get out! This is an invasion of privacy, this is!" Hermione did as Ron said and left the room, she could hear Harry laughing.

As she was walking down the hall, for the second time that morning, she was stopped by Mrs. Weasley.

"Dumbledore is here to see you."

"What for?"

She gave he one of those you-know-what looks and pointed to a closed door. "He's in there."

XxXxXx

As Harry stepped out of the bathroom, all nice and smelling good (but with his hair still messy…), Ron was nowhere in sight. So he started his way downstairs by himself.

"There's no way!"

Harry stopped, and to the door at his left, could see Hermione yelling at Dumbledore just through the tiny crack.

"Miss Granger, I have to respect their wishes."

"NO! They can't do this to me! They don't know what situation I am in!"

"But they…"

"No. I am going to Hogwarts and no one can stop me!" Hermione yelled. "Today I am going to go out and enjoy Harry's birthday and then in a few days I am boarding the Hogwarts Express and there's nothing THEY can do about it."

"OK." Dumbledore nodded and stood up. "Let's just say this conversation never happened."

"Really?" Hermione smiled, relief rushing all over her.

"Yes. You are needed at Hogwarts, especially for Harry. I can't have you in some muggle high school."

"Thank you, sir. For everything you have done for me these past few weeks."

Dumbledore smiled, putting back his half-moon spectacles on his face. "I'm just sorry I never realized the situation sooner."

"Well, I think that I did a good job of covering it up."

"I agree." Dumbledore said. "And if you don't mine me asking… have you told anyone?"

"No." She sighed. "Only you, Mrs. Weasley, and Lupin know about it."

"Take your time." Dumbledore said, walking to the door. "Take your time."

Harry watched as his headmaster walked toward him, so he bolted, almost running into Ginny downstairs.

"Whoa… why is the birthday boy in such a rush?"

"Oh… I uh… thought I was late, everyone might leave without me."

"Why would we do that? Besides, we're waiting for Hermio… oh, there she is."

Harry turned around to see Hermione descending the steps, looking like her normal happy self.

"Sorry, guys." She apologized. "I got caught up in a letter I was writing."

Everyone seemed happy with her answer, but Harry gave her a weird look.

"What?" she asked, eying him suspiciously.

"N-nothing."

"Let's go dears!" Mrs. Weasley called. "We're traveling by floo. Harry, you go first."

Harry groaned as he grabbed a handful of powder. "Hogsmeade."

Thankfully, he made it to the correct place but was bombarded by Hermione's flying body. He caught her just in time before they both fell, but Ron rammed into both of them, creating a pile on the floor.

"Sorry guys." Ron said, helping his friends up. "Never really got a hang of the whole landing process."

"It's ok." Hermione said. "Harry broke my fall."

"Yeah, but the ground broke mine." He said rubbing his neck.

"Is everyone here?" Mrs. Weasley asked. She even counted heads to make sure.

"Yes."

An hour later, Harry, Hermione, and Ron were sitting at a table in the Three Broomsticks, enjoying there on the house birthday butterbeers.

"Can you believe I'm 16?" Harry ogled. "Never really thought I would make it this far."

"Harry, don't joke about that!" Hermione shrieked. "It's terrible."

"What makes you think I was joking?"

He left her pondering in her own thoughts as he downed the rest of his butterbeer. "Do you guys want to go over to Fred and George's shop? We don't have to meet Mrs. Weasley for another hour."

"Sure, sounds great." Ron said as he and his two best friends walked out the door. "I haven't seen them in at least 5 months."

"Why such a long time?"

"Well, I've been at school and they've been working really hard on some new products."

Harry was about to tell Ron that they should secretly test some items on Snape when Hermione cursed beside them.

"Oh my god. It's them."

Harry and Ron followed her gaze to see a man and woman with 3 children walking on the opposite side of the street.

"You guys have to hide me!"

"But wh…"

"Just do it!" Hermione yelled. She sat down on a bench and threw her hood on so that it covered her head and she covered her face with her hands and pretended to cry. Harry and Ron, clueless as to why she was doing this, rubbed her back as the couple from across the street walked over.

"Are you Harry Potter?" The woman asked.

"Yes." He said.

"So, you are best friends with Hermione Granger?"

"Uh… yeah." He answered, a confused expression across his face.

At the mention of Hermione's name, she bowed her head lower practically into Ron's lap.

"Do you know where she might be?"

"No." Harry sighed. "I haven't seen her since the last day of school."

"Oh." The woman said, and then she pointed to the girl in Ron's lap. "Who's that?"

"My sister." Ron quickly lied. "Her boyfriend just broke up with her, she hasn't stopped crying for 3 days!"

"Oh… terribly sorry dear. Thank you for your time."

And that was all. The lady and her family turned around and walked away without a second look back.

"She's gone." Harry said and Hermione slowly sat up, lifting off her hood. "Now do you mind telling me what in the hell that was about?"

"Oh… uh… well, do you remember when I said that I would talk when I was ready?"

"Yeah…"

"I'm not ready."

"Hermione!" Ron yelled. "Some perfectly nice looking family come looking for you and we lied without question! So you're just going to stand there and not tell us what it was about?"

Tears hung at the edge of her eyes as she stared at the ground. "I c-can't."

"Please." Harry pleaded. "Tell us what is making you se upset."

"You wouldn't understand."

"Make us understand!" Ron yelled.

Ignoring Ron, she turned to Harry. "Sorry to have ruined your birthday." And she took off down the street.

"Hermione wait!"

"No! I'm finding Mrs. Weasley and going back to the Burrow. Leave me alone and enjoy your day!"
