I was a bit confused…ok now for the story…

Harry and Hermione laughed as they walked up the deserted street of Privet Drive.

"That was so cool Hermione! I think me and Ron really have had a bad influence on you!" Harry said in a mock tone of seriousness. Hermione giggled. "When we met you in first year, none of us would have imagined you would have punched two boys in the face! In fact, none of us would have guessed we would have done all the stuff we did, but still." Hermione nodded.

"Come on, let's clean your face up. Is there anywhere private where I can fix it? We can't let muggles see us." she asked him

"Well, lets not go back to the Dursley's yet…" he said, thinking about where they could go. His nose was throbbing. "Lets just go down here" he pulled her down an empty side alley. She performed a complex spell and Harry's face was back to normal and the blood had gone from his face and clothes. "Thanks, I don't know what I would do with out you," he said as they walked back out into the street.

"Anytime Harry." She said, smiling at him.

H E R M I O N E P O V:

Harry smiled at me. My stomach flipped. Wow he is so pretty… well not pretty exactly…more handsome. I smiled back. We carried on walking down the road. I didn't know where we were going but I didn't really care.

"So, its your birthday in a week." I said

"Oh…yeah, I forgot!" he said

"You forgot? How can you forget your own birthday, Harry?" I asked him.

"I dunno, I suppose, just with all the things that have been going on…" he trailed off

"Well, it's a very special birthday. You will be of age to do magic outside of school!" she said

His eyes lit up. "Oh yeah…wow! How could I have forgotten that? Finally I will be able to do magic whenever I want!" he said enthusiastically and I nodded.

"And, you can really threaten the Dursley's!" I said. He grinned. We stopped walking.

"There are so many good things about this birthday!" he exclaimed. "All the magic stuff," he took a step towards me. "And, you'll be here, with me." He said softly. I had to lean against the brick wall behind me to stop myself falling over. Wow… I blushed, and I looked down at the floor, I didn't want him to see me going bright red; it wasn't the most attractive thing in the world. He took another step towards me. We were millimetres apart. Wow…I didn't feel uncomfortable, but I was panicking a bit. What if something happens between us and then he hates me forever! I looked up at him. We leaned closer together and as our lips softly met as a long piercing scream made us both jump apart. How can someone interrupt us again? I thought. (Selfishly I suppose) then I realised it could be important. But I still was annoyed that whoever it was interrupted.

"What was that?" I asked frantically as we looked around for the source of the noise.

"I don't know," he said slowly as he grabbed my hand "it came from over there." He pointed towards the direction of the park.

"Lets go then" I said as I started to walk towards it. But, Harry pulled me and back he looked worried. "What? "

"What if it's a trap?" he said

"A trap?" I repeated.

"Yeah, a trap." He said, his eyes were wide and he looked very apprehensive.

"Well, it could be, but we still have to go," I said firmly. "What if someone needs our help and we don't go and th-" but I was interrupted by another scream. "Well I'm going." I yanked my hand out of his grip and I started off in the direction of the park.

"Hermione wait!" came the sound of Harry's voice from somewhere behind me. I knew he wouldn't let me go alone. "I'm not going to let you go on your own." Hehe, see?

I smiled and waited for him to catch up. I held out my hand and he took it. We ran to the park. Another piercing scream cut through the air. We ran faster. When we got there it was silent. We looked around and there was no one there. Then all of a sudden, Dudley and his gang came out of the shadows, forming a circle around us. Oh crap. We were trapped. Harry was right…it is a trap…oh no…. I laughed nervously

"Not the best time to say ' I told you so'?" whispered Harry. I shot him a 'no-it-isnt-the-best-time-to-say-I-told-you-so-and-if-you-do-I-might-punch-you-really-really-hard'look.

"Its not funny Harry!" I whispered back as I saw everyone in the circle staring at us, not looking too happy. I was really scared. I looked around at the circle properly. I saw that Dudley was fuming and he looked like he could murder someone. All of his little (well not little, humongously big actually) friends were looking angry too. Almost all of them. I saw that one of the biggest of them was struggling to hold someone back. I tried to see who it was, but it was really dark. Then I saw, the person they were trying to hold back was…Ben.

"Well, if it isn't Potty and little Princess Hermione." He said. Somehow I didn't think he meant it as a compliment. " I see you two fell right into our trap…"

Hehe Yay! Please give me more ideas!

And reviews!

I love reviews soooooooooooooo much!

I luv u all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
