18. We share the same initials (Well, we will someday)
"Hermione, have you ever realised that we share the same initials?" Hermione's eyes lingered on the book she's levitated to her eye level as if soaking in all the information she could get at the last moment before giving her full attention to her boyfriend who was lying at her lap. Finally, she tore her eyes away and looked down at him.
"No, we don't." She said simply. Harry, expecting a cry of revelation, was confused upon such an answer.
"Yes, we do." He said, knitting his eyebrows in confusion. 'How could she not see it?!'
"Nope, we don't."
"Yep, we do." Hermione laughed lightly at his stubbornness.
"OK, then. What is your full name?"
"Harry James Potter." Hermione nodded once.
"And mine?"
"Hermione Jean Granger." Harry smiled as if that proved everything.
"So, your initials are HJP, mine are HJG."
"Yup." Hermione sighed, rolling her eyes, she said,
"You know that that means they're different, right?"
"Yeah, but it's only one letter which is at the same time your last name, soooo…" Hermione looked at the hopeful expression on her boyfriend's face and fought really hard to keep a straight face.
"Soooo?" Harry looked up at her, trying to gauge if she's teasing him.
"Don't play with me, 'Mione. You know very well what that means." Hermione laughed and leaned down to kiss him.
"Of course, I know what that means but I think you're being a little presumptuous." Harry sat up suddenly.
"Presump-what? I don't know what that means but I hope that doesn't mean you are not going to marry me!" Hermione laughed again and grabbed his t-shirt, pulling him in for another kiss.
"I hope that was not a proposal, Harry. That's not the way to ask a woman for her hand in marriage." Harry pouted at her, crossing his arms while lying down in her lap. "And don't look at me like that. It's too adorable, I may, accidentally, say yes." Harry grinned up at her.
"Adorable, huh? I like it. Sooooo… When I ask the question you'll say yes, right?" Hermione grinned back at him, stroking his hair.
"It's a high possibility, yes." Harry poked her side playfully, making his girlfriend shriek. "Of course, I'll say yes, you daft git. Don't you know that I want to be with you for the rest of our lives." Harry's eyes softened.
"A guy wants to hear things like these from time to time, ego boosting, you know?" This time Hermione poked his side.
"Oh, I will boost your ego, don't worry." Harry wiggled his eyebrows.
"Can't wait..." After getting poked again, he continued, "…to share the same initials with you."
"Oh, Harry." Hermione sighed. "It would be a great line to use while proposing, it's too bad you wasted it here. Besides, I still think you're being a little presumptuous."
"That word again…" Harry sighed, "And what's that supposed to mean?" Hermione laughed softly upon seeing his pouty face.
"It means I may use my surname as well as yours. Hermione Jean Granger-Potter. Isn't it nice?" she said as she caressed his slightly stubbled cheek.
"Nice but too long." He said, taking her other hand between his. "And if you use it like that, we can't sign our letters with HJPx2" Hermione burst into laughter.
"Then Hermione Jean Potter, it is. How does that sound" Harry brought her hand to his lips, kissing her palm.
"Like music."
A/N: Just wanted to thank those who made some suggestions. I'll think about them and hopefully I'll be able to use them somewhere. Some of them already gave me some ideas! Thank you to everyone who takes time to leave a review and special thanks to JTReckless and the guest who suggested the pre-couple and OWL ones (hopefully you still continue reading the story)! If you have other ideas, please don't hesitate to tell me!
