Harry's Angel Chapter 9

Hermione sat in her chair contemplating Harry's letter in her mind. She had memorized the contents of it after the third time.

"Dear Hermione," it read,

"I don't know if I have said it as many times as Ron, but you truely are a genius. You should really be the one teaching here at Hogwarts, you know. I should have been on the pitch.

Anyway jokes apart, I am not sure I can explain everything in a letter even if I wanted to. I will say this however you are right for the most part. Ginny is back. Let's meet this weekend and we can talk about it. I am anxious to know what you have gathered.

Don't work too hard and take care of your health. Say 'hello' to Ron for me. See you soon

Love

Harry"

She sighed into her hands. It was getting a little uncomfortable in the mornings for her in her condition. The mediwitch had said it was normal, and so did the thousand books she had read so she wasn't too bothered about it. No, she was excited about becoming a mom. But now she had bigger trouble at hand. She didn't quite know what to do with Harry. She had replied to his letter right away, telling him that she would be meeting him on Saturday at the pub in Hogsmeade.

She had lied to Ron about the real reason she was coming to see Harry. He had assumed that she was having an anxiety symptom due to her pregnancy but Hermione had kept quiet and let him believe it, stopping herself from rolling her eyes at him. Recently all her desires had become as a result of the baby for Ron but she knew he loved her anyway so he let him have it.

She pursed her lips as she sipped on her hot chocolate that she had conjured. She urged for muggle drinks a lot more than she used to before. She smiled a little to herself, may be Ron was right after all, at least partially.

It wasn't like Harry to be late. Just as she was about to get up and order something to eat she saw Harry walk in the pub with a big smile on his face. She stood up as he reached her table to hug him. He was almost like a brother to her. His eyes were shining with mischief when they broke apart.

" Hermione, you look great!" he said taking the seat across from her. She knew he noticed the tiny bulge that had started forming, but she glowed with pride at the compliment.

" Thanks Harry you do too," she said taking his hand and squeezing it gently.

" Yea," he said smiling still " it has been quite nice for a while."

She smiled at him but raised her eyebrow before whispering softly. " Is she here?"

He nodded. " Let's go to my chambers. There are two many ears to guard around this place," he said chuckling at his own choice of words.

She nodded and stood up to follow him out the door. His quarter was much like she remembered, except for the few recent pictured that were taken in the ball. The furniture in the living room where they were, was made of rich oak like the staff room. There was a fire place across from her, with the magical fire gently burning. She noticed that instead of the curtains being drawn closed like previous times, the light was let through creating an effect that Hermione thought was lost to Harry. The room looked gorgeous. She eyed the pictures on the wall. There was a picture of the three of them laughing. She wiped her eyes. It seemed like yesterday they had taken the trip to Hogwarts on the boat. Her eyes shifted to a picture of Harry and Ginny. She was laughing and blowing him kisses, while Harry blushed slightly before kissing her back himself on the cheek. She smiled wistfully, she remembered the day vividly she had been watching them from the tower window.

" You know Ginny will kill me if I don't offer you a place to sit," Harry said pulling out a chair for her.

She laughed slightly as she sat down.

" So," he started, fidgeting slightly in his seat, running his fingers through his hair. Hermione knew it was a habit that came with stress.

" I want to say," she heard herself say before she made up her mind to speak. " I want to say 'Hi' to Ginny first if she is here," she said looking around for a sign of her friend.

Harry smiled slightly as if sharing an inside joke and nodded. " She says hi back and asked me to thank you for taking care of my bad habits."

She chuckled. It was just like Ginny to break the tension. " Harry and Ginny if you are listening, what has occurred here is a very rare phenomenon. This kind of thing happened just once before in the 18th century," she said getting to start what she had come here to say.

Harry nodded, though he looked like he was holding invisible Ginny's hand rather tightly from the grip Hermione could see in thin air. " What is it called?" he asked adding, " she is obviously not a ghost."

"No definitely not a ghost Harry, or we could see her as well. It's called the heart's bind. It happens when two people love each other so much but are separated due to harsh circumstances. I don't know what exactly as I couldn't get all the research done about the other side as there are only few who can give detail accounts as the rest are dead. In the case of separation due to death they are compelled to return to their lover but a force. This force gives them the ability to do almost anything with their lover, except for being seen by other people and letting the lover know too much about the other side," she finished.

" No offense Herm, but I sort of figured the last bit myself but I want to know how long will it last?" Harry asked in a barely audible whisper looking straight into her eyes with a silent plea.

She could feel her own eyes pricking and her heart choking up for him as she answered, " Till your heart is healed Harry."
