All These Years
Re-Cap:
Ron seemed surprised, "Mione? Wow! You look excellent! I can't believe it! You look so hot! Even better then those pictures!"
Mrs. Weasley looked at him disapprovingly. Hermione just laughed, "It's nice to see you too, Ronald!"
Ginny just ran up and Gave her a hug. Then she noticed the bandages on her shoulder blade and back, "What are these, Mione?"
Hermione was about to answer when she saw...
Hermione was about to answer when she saw Harry. 'He looks so much stronger this year then last! He looks really hot too! Whoa, whoa, whoa wait back the hormones up! Did I just think that about Harry? My friend of 7 years?'
'-Well this is another year!'
-'Who asked you? Plus we have been friends for years I shouldn't think of him this way!'
-'Come on! Stop denying it! You know you're attracted to him! He's hot, he's got muscles, and not to mention he appears to be checking you out.'
-Yeah he's hot! But you're just my stupid conscious so why would I…… wait he is?'
Hermione looked and found that Harry too was checking her out and having a little battle with himself.
:Harry's POV:
Harry looked at the beautiful creature standing before him in the kitchen. He knew her from the pictures in the magazines. The pictures that Ron and the twins gawk at everyday.
But Harry noticed something different. He knew those eyes and that smile.
HERMIONE!
Harry looked her over again and again, 'WOW! This is Mione? She is turning into a hot woman! I might consider asking her out this year! Wait! What am I thinking? This is Hermione Granger. My best friend of 7 years. The bushy haired girl from London. You're just hormonally driven, Harry!'
-Right. Keep telling yourself that.
-And what exactly is that supposed to mean? I don't like Mione that way. It's just my hormones is all.
-Yeah , yeah, yeah you know you like her. Don't blame it on only your hormones. Blame it on your heart as well. You know that you had always had a crush on her but you just never acted. Why would now be any different?
-But now she is a hot and famous model. What would she want with me? All I can give her is pain and misery until I destroy Voldemort.
-Didn't you ever think that love could possible be a key defense against Voldemort?
-Is it?
-Well you're just going to have to take a risk and find out. I think you should stop checking her out now.
-And why is that?
-She noticed.
Harry stopped gawking at her beauty features and noticed that she was looking at him dead in the eye for what felt like hours. Even though in reality it had been 10 minutes.
The Weasley's just looked at the two in awe. They had always known that they were meant to be together. Well, all except Ron whom has been trying to get Hermione's attention for the past 3 years. Hermione never noticed.
Ginny smiled at her friends. Ron and the twins were checking out Hermione's body while Harry and Hermione were looking each other in the eye. Ginny could see their emotions. They were showing in their eyes.
She decided the break the silence, "Hermione, you never told me what those bandages were from."
Hermione broke her gaze from Harry and looked at Ginny, "Oh, These? Well, I just got two tattoos this afternoon before Dumbledore picked me up. The one on the small of my back is of tiger eyes and the one on my shoulder is of a broken heart with a dagger in it that states 'Blood Sucking, Heart Crushing, Ball Busting Bitch' around it."
Ginny was excited to see them but the look that Mrs. Weasley had on her face told everyone what she thought about it. She hated the idea of it.
Harry noticed and decided to change the subject, "So Hermione. How did you become a model?"
This topic brought Fred and George a step closer to her.
Hermione merely laughed, "Well, I was in America and a modeling agent saw me when I was in my bikini at the beach and I got recruited. I've posed for almost everything. Except for playboy and anything else that includes nudity. So don't worry Mrs. Weasley."
Molly was slightly worried but eased up a little. She smiled and left the room to tend to her business.
Hermione looked at Harry and everyone else in the room who were looking at her intent fully, "Well, since it's really sunny outside who would like to go tanning with me?"
After she said this every one of the guys shouted the same thing, "ME!"
Ginny laughed, "I will too Hermione."
Hermione smiled, "Goodie! Ok now me and Ginny will go and get changed and we'll meet you all down here in 15 minutes."
All of the guys (except Harry) had on really big smiles on their faces. They just wanted to see Hermione in a bikini.
The girls walked up to Ginny's room to change. When Ginny shut the door she started to shoot questions at Hermione, "Ok, Hermione how long have you been modeling? Are you excited to be Dumbledore's niece? Are you really the most powerful witch to exist? Did you really date the hot American singer Jesse McCartney? Do you like Harry? Do you like Ron? Who do you like? Did you miss us?"
Hermione was cracking up at this point, "Ok, ok, ok Ginny calm down one at a time. And to answer all of your questions: I've been modeling for 2 months; I am very excited to be Dumbledore's niece; they say I am the most powerful; yes, I dated Jesse; yes, I like Harry; I don't like Ron like that; I like Harry; and yes, I missed you all like crazy."
Ginny was amazed at how fast she had answered her questions. But didn't ask how she did, "Ok then. We should get changed."
Hermione put on her black and white tiger print bikini that showed off her belly ring, tattoos, and toned body perfectly.
Ginny wore a pink bikini to show off her tanned body as well.
Hermione pulled her hair back into a loose bun and slid on a pair of black sandals. She looked into the mirror and noticed that her 38 D cleavage was poking through the top of her bikini top. She knew that this would make the guys go crazy so she decided on a see through white swimsuit cover so she didn't make the guys have to go inside and take cold showers.
Hermione just laughed at the thought and pulled the cover over her head. Ginny came out of the bathroom with a pink cover as well. The two walked alongside one another and came down to the kitchen to find the guys in their swim trunks.
Hermione walked into the kitchen to be met by four sets of eyes watching her. She shrugged it off, "So, are you guys coming or not?"
She opened up the kitchen door and walked onto the lawn. She spread out her blanket and lifted off her cover. She laid out as Ginny came and sat next to her. The guys fought over who would lay at the other side of her.
Hermione was watching as Fred, George, and Ron were about to start a fist fight.
"Ok, you guys! Take a chill pill would you? We are just tanning! Give it a rest."
Hermione slid her head phones over her ears and closed her eyes for some well earned relaxation. Unaware that a pair of green eyes were watching her every move.
Ginny was laughing as Harry took the spot next to Hermione as the three boys continued to fight. But when they saw Harry was already there and laying out they just laid themselves out as close to Hermione as they could get. Hermione was dead to the world.
After about three hours Hermione woke up to the sounds of Ron's snoring. He snore so loud she could hear him through her head set. She looked around and saw Ginny at the right of her and…
'HARRY!' she shrieked to herself.
-Would you stop it already?
-Oh it's you again.
-Yeah it is me. Would you stop denying that you like him? I mean it is starting to get really sad.
-Yeah, but what if he doesn't like me that way.
-He does.
-And how do you know? Your just my conscious.
-I notice the signs that you don't.
-Which are?
-One, he can't stop staring at you; two, he gets nervous when around you; three, he keeps battling with himself whether to ask you out or not.
-Let me guess; like me?
-You got it.
-Maybe I should wait till he asks me.
-He won't any time soon.
-Ok, then I'll ask him when school resumes.
-No, you won't. You know you'll chicken out if you don't ask him soon.
-Ok fine you win.
-Good. I knew you'd listen to me.
-Oh, shove it would you?
At this point Harry was awake but Hermione didn't know that. He was listening as she quietly talked to herself.
"I can't ask him out! No, it's not my job. If he likes me like I think he does HE'LL ask me out."
Harry couldn't believe it. She liked him? When did this happen? This can't be! YES! SHE LIKES ME!
But wait! What if she's talking about Ron or one of the Twins? Oh, bloody hell!
-Just ask her you dumb wit. She'll say yes.
-And you know this how you stupid conscious?
-Just do it! Then I'll leave you alone.
-Deal.
Harry decided to make it look like he just woke up. He rolled around and stretched before opening his eyes.
Hermione noticed his movement and immediately shut her mouth.
'Did he notice? Please tell me he didn't!'
She looked over and saw him open his eyes, "Hey, Hermione. I guess we all fell asleep. Ironic huh?"
Hermione laughed. She thought she was safe, "Yeah. At least no one here actually burns. Or they'd be cooked right about now."
The two laughed quietly as to not wake the others. Harry looked into Hermione's eyes and found a sting of warmth and passion. He knew this was the right time to ask her, "Hey, Mione? I was wondering if you'd like to take a walk so we could talk about…… stuff."
Hermione blinked her eyes a few times. As if to get dirt out of her eye, "Sure Harry. But should we wake them up?"
Harry chuckled, "No. Because Ron, Fred, and George would be fighting over who gets to walk beside you or hold your hand or something."
This caused Hermione to break out in a bunch giggles. She knew he was right, "Ok, let's go then."
Harry and Hermione started walking when Harry decided to make a go to grab her hand. Little did he know she had the same idea. When they went to grab each others hands they bumped elbows.
"OW!"
"Sorry Harry/Hermione." They said in unison and laughed about it.
'Nice job, Mione!' she thought to herself.
'Good one, Harry!' he thought to himself.
They walked in silence. When they got to the little creek inside the woods around the Burrow, Harry decided now as the perfect time.
"Hermione?"
She looked into his addicting green eyes, "Yeah, Harry?"
He started fidgeting but said it as best he could,
"Mione all these years………………………"
