"I thought you were about to punch me!" Harry exclaimed. "I don't disagree with you but are sure?"

"I really don't know, that was just the first conclusion that came to mind besides the fact that he wants to make you more miserable than you already are because your life sucks, I mean well never mind."

Hermione had a big red hand mark on her left cheek from Harry slapping her. Why did he slap me? She thought.

"Harry, open up please I'm really sorry that I hurt your feelings I never meant for that to happen and I'm sorry that it did." Hermione pleaded.

"Come in," he said

"I'm so sorry!" She said as she hugged him.

"I forgive you" Harry said

"you shouldn't after what I've said and I'm really sorry I don't know how to make it up to you." She said "Well maybe I do but that's for me only"

"what?"

"oh nothing just nothing don't worry your little head about it oh and when do you want to go to the burrow?"

"soon?"

"Ugh, make a date!"

"You, me and a café tomorrow at noon for lunch?"

" Sure." She said.

With that she went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she hopped out she heard frantic knocking.

"who is it?" she asked

"me hurry up! I need to use the toilet!" Harry said

"use the one downstairs!" she called at him.

"Vernon is dropping the kids off at the pool"

"excuse me?"

"HE'S USING IT AND I DON'T WANNA GO IN THERE FOR A LONG TIME!" He said.

"oh just hold on, let me change" She said

"what are you wearing!"

She locked the door "nothing for you to see!" she snapped at him.

"HURRY UP!" he said and started pounding at the door.

"I'm almost done!" she said

"what are you doing in there!"

"Leaving" she said as the door hit his face and he fell back.

"oh! Harry I'm so sorry! I-I didn't mean to!" Hermione said in fear of getting slapped again. He bolted up and charged to the bathroom. Hermione went into the guest room to read her book that she grabbed at her house.

The Orchids and Gumbo Poker Club

"I've often mused how a bird's life is not unlike our own" said Darcy. "full of flights and perchings"
"Is that so?" said William. "And what are you looking for tonight may I ask? A flight? Or a perch?"
"I don't know Mr. Chatelaine," said Darcy. "I think this bird is still making up her mind."

"Mione, Are you okay? You know it was an accident right? I'm not mad."

"yeah I'm okay I'm just reading."

"What are you reading?"

"The Orchids and Gumbo Poker Club." She stated

"oh, do you wanna go on a walk?"

"sure why not?" she answered.

They walked to the park and in the park going on the same river trail but didn't push each other in. They kept walking until the moon came out and Hermione climbed a tree and perched on a branch to just look at the moon and stars.

"why do you always look at the moon?" Harry asked.

"Because," Hermione started "it's a little piece of magic and destiny."

"Why?" Harry asked out of curiosity.

"Read." She stated flatly

"read what?"

"The stars. That one over there is Orion's belt."

"How do you read stars?"

"you read books silly"

"I think its time to go okay?"

"Okay"

Hermione jumped from her tree and back onto the dirt. They walked back to the Dursleys together in the moonlight and Hermione paused.

"what?" Harry asked

"This" Hermione said and kissed him softly on the lips. Then she continued to walk back to the Dursleys leaving Harry behind. Harry ran up to Hermione and blocked her way.

"Stop" she said

"wait" Harry said.

Harry kissed her this time and they walked back with their fingers laced together. They went to bed and thought of each other through the night. When Hermione got in bed she cried knowing her parents were gone and she cried knowing Harry wouldn't be her friend anymore.

Harry knocked on Hermione's door but she wasn't answering. "Hermione open up!" he said while continuing to knock on her door.
"Look around silly" Hermione said. She was sitting on the stairs watching him knock on her door.

"Hermione we need to talk."

"I know I ruined our friendship but don't worry I'll be out of here in no time" she said with a small sad smile as if to say 'don't bother I'll be fine'.

"No Hermione now I know how you feel and I feel the same way. I don't know how to describe it but I felt sparks." Harry said dimwittedly

Hermione ran over to him and hugged him then kissed him again.

"Do you, do you feel sparks now?" she asked in a pleading voice and her eyes still full with sadness over her parents but with a questioning look.

" yes" he said "willyougooutwithme?"

"yeah I think I, oh no!" She said "aaagh" she said in an annoyed tone.

"what?"

"Ron asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend and I told him I'd think about it."

"Tell him you already have a boyfriend."

"What if he wants to know who it is?"

"Tell him you don't want people to know."

"Okay, then I need to write Ron and tell him no."

Hermione went into the guest room and started writing Ron and adding a letter for Ginny, she had just gotten over her crush on Harry and now dated Seamus, or was it Dean? Ginny went through so many boyfriends it was hard to know which she was dating. She went to ask Harry to borrow Hedwig and she sent off the letters. She decided to go back in the guest room so she could cry for her parents. Though she was happy for the cell phone she still would never be happy that she had no parents and was, what seemed to her, an orphan.

Weeks passed and soon it was August first and time to leave for the burrow.

I think I can write again on Sunday and thanks for the reviews and please no flames. Fist fanfic.
