Chapter 13- Come and Go
The next morning after their eventful night was absolutely bliss. Hermione woke up as the morning sunshine travel through the room welcoming them to a brand new day. Feeling tired and a bit sore from last night's activity, she yawned and thank God it was her day off. Stretching slightly trying her best not to wake the gorgeous man beside her. Feeling him stir, she smiled as he took an even tighter grip on her not allowing her to move away.
"Harry…" Hermione softly whisper in his ears and it resulted in a low groan. "You need to wake up now." She continues to say.
"No, no work today. Harry stay here with his Hermione." Harry replied quietly in a dorky tone. Hermione smiled at his silliness and decide to wake him up another way. She started at his ear and slowly kissed her way down to his jaw line and finally captured his lips with hers. She felt him respond to her actions and gave her entrance to his mouth. After about three minutes of sweet make outs Hermione pulled away abruptly.
"Hey…" Harry protested and Hermione was just smiling. "Fine, I'm up I'm up." Harry finally said as he pulled himself up into a sitting position. "Can I wake up like that every morning?" Harry asked cheekily.
"What makes you think you'll be waking up with me every morning?" Hermione shot back playfully.
"Ouch, now that was a direct hit to my ego." Harry said with a pouty face.
"Aw, quit being a baby." Hermione said as she started to get off the bed. However, Harry took this time and grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back down next to him. "HARRY! Let go! No fair!" Hermione started to yell.
"Life is never fair my darling." Harry whisper as he started to attack her weak spots with tickles. After about 10 minutes of playtime the two finally got up and got ready for the day.
The two walked down stairs hand in hand with the greatest smile of all time. Too happy to care they did not notice that Luna was staring at them with an 'I-know-what-you-did-last-night' look.
"Well good morning to you too." Luna spoke up as the couple sprang away from each other. "Why, you guys are a couple. It's not illegal to hold hands and be all goo-goo-ga-ga with each other. But please, leave it at a minimum while there are innocent people around." She finished as a matter of fact.
"Luna, I hope your not speaking of yourself, because you're the last person I consider 'innocent'" Hermione replied back.
"Very funny Hermione."
"Yes, indeed. I do find myself hilarious sometimes. Don't you?" Hermione said, every word dripping sarcasms. "Anywho, why are you here so early Luna?"
"Again, I do live here. But that's beside the point. Here's a package for you. It was sent to the office but you don't have work today so I thought I bring it up for you. There's no mention of who's it's from though." Luna mentioned.
"I wonder who it's from?" Hermione said while looking at the package quizzically.
"Open it and find out." Harry spoke up. "For some reason though, I don't think it's a Happy Birthday present" he finished.
"Yeah…" both girls said in unison.
Hermione slowly open the package that was wrapped in navy blue paper. Within there was a brown box with the word 'Open here' printed on top of it. Before going any further Hermione looked at Harry to see if you should go on. With a simple nod from Harry she went on and lifted the top off and found a letter.
"Read it out loud…" Luna told Hermione in which she did.
Hemyone,
I'm a friend, and I'm here to let you know the truth of a certain someone whom you consider a friend of even more. Harry Potter. He seems normal and might sweep you off your feet with his delightful charm but do not be fooled. He is lying to you. He will leave you like he did many others before you and cheat you with every thing you own including your heart. I know you might not believe what I am saying therefore with this letter I concluded it with piles of his shameful information to those he does not wish to reveal to. He is a powerful man so beware.
Sign,
Someone who has been there.
After reading this letter out loud Hermione turn to look and both Harry and Luna's bemused face. After about 2 minutes of alter silence, the room was filled with complete laughter.
"Oh. My. God." Luna breathe out, "I can't believe that little bitch actually wrote that. Very convincing if you ask me!" Luna finishes sarcastically.
"She even spelled my name wrong." Hermione said between laughs.
"Wow, that has to be the worst way to threaten someone that I know of." Harry utters.
"And Harry? You use to date this woman? What were you thinking?" Luna asked still laughing.
"Hey, she was okay back then." Harry tried to defend more of himself then Grace.
"Uh huh, but it's ok Harry. You did a great job spotting my Hermione here." Luna said as she slaps Hermione's backside.
"Hey! Would you quit doing that Luna? Or at least wait until Harry is not here." Hermione said giving Luna a wink that caused Luna to choke on her orange juice.
"Wow, one night and you changed Hermione into someone totally different! Good job! I like you already." Luna uttered giving Harry a thumbs up.
"I know, it was hard but I got her…" Harry continues the conversation.
"Excuse me? Who got whom may I ask? I believe I was the one who got you in the sho-" Hermione said before cut off by Luna.
"Wait, hold on stop right there! As much as I want to hear about your sexual activities last night, please spare me the juicy details as it is still early morning and I would like to keep my breakfast in my stomach and not on this new Abercrombie & Fitch outfit I just got." Luna spatted out in one go.
"Suit yourself." Hermione said as she cuddled into Harry's arm. "Anyways, want to go out for a drink? My treat." Hermione asked, as she was feeling completely joyous today.
"I'm up for a free drink any day." Luna said as she got up and got her purse. "Come on now slow pokes. Did all the sex wear you out?" Luna said teasingly.
(At Jily's)
"One caramel latte please…" Harry ordered as the three took a seat at a near by table.
"So what are your plans today?" Hermione asked Luna.
"Ihaveadatewithnevulle" Luna muttered so fast no one heard it.
"What was that?" Harry asked.
"I have a date with Neville." Luna said louder turning a bit pink.
"Really? I never knew Ms. Lovegood here take dates. Oh, and are you blushing Luna?" Hermione said teasingly because now was her chance to get back at Luna for this morning.
"So what? Neville seem to be a great guy and I want to change my style around a bit and no I'm not blushing it's just a bit hot in here." Luna replied.
"Neville is a great guy. I've known him since I was eleven. Shy bloke but when you get to know him he's such a sweetheart. Fantastic dancer by the way." Harry mentioned as a matter of fact.
The three friends were talking happily for about half an hour when a unwanted person arrived. Ron. Hermione say Harry's reaction and gave his hand a light squeeze to let him know it's ok. He turned and smiled at her however, Luna was staring confused to the sudden change of mood.
"Harry, mate" Ron said loudly as he came in and took a seat next to Harry. Harry was trying very hard not to punch Ron at that very moment.
"Hello Ron." Harry said coldly then taking a sip of his drink.
"Who is this, ah you must be the girl Harry was obsessed over. Dr. Granger I believe?" Ron asked as he say Hermione and reached his hands out to shake her hand but all she did was give him a slight smile but refuse to take his hand. His then put his hand down, confused. "Uh, well…Harry where were you last night? I didn't see you at all. I heard you brought Dr. Granger here to the party as your girlfriend. Should have introduce her to me Harry." Ron said still oblivious to the fact that Harry knows what he had done years ago. Harry's patience level was drawing thin and he couldn't take it anymore so he exploded.
"Why Ron? Tell me, why would I want to introduce her to you? So you can go fuck her like you did Grace? Tell me Ron, is that why?" Harry said angrily.
"Harry, calm down…" Hermione whisper as she tried to calm him down. On the other hand Ron was shocked by the outburst and the fact that Harry knew about his dirty little secret.
"Harry, I'm sorry…I-I didn't" Ron said but Harry cut him off.
"No! Don't you dare say you didn't mean it. You meant to do it and I bet you enjoyed it while it last too didn't you? You disgust me Ron and I thought you were by best mate. Well tells me how wrong I am." Harry exclaimed. "I tried Ron, I tried to see it as if it was nothing and we can still be friends like before but oh how wrong I was. Every time I see you or talk to you it's as if I can see you laughing at me saying that you did my girl." Harry said slowly as his rage was calming down and a speck of tear can be seem at the corner of his eyes.
"Harry…" Ron started
"Just leave Ron. From this day on I'm no longer your best mate and you're no longer mine." Harry said as he got up and walked away heading towards his office. Ron didn't know what to do so he just got up and left and for the next year and a half Ron was never seen around here again.
