Chapter 21: Life is Tragic
Hermione took the brown package Ginny had given her to the kitchen, placing it on top of the counter;
There she saw the cookies she and her mother had made few hours ago
There was something next to the cookies, she took it and it was a note from her mother and father
Mione Dear, your father and I have to go to town, some problems in the dental clinic, but I placed the cookies for you and James to eat for snacks, will be home in a few hours
Love you dear,
Mum XOX
After reading it she took the plate of cookies upstairs to share with Harry or better yet James,
she laughed at the fact that her mother kept calling him James instead of Harry, it was cute but can get a bit too awkward sometimes
Finally making it to Harry's room, "Harry, would you like to have cookies with me? Mum and I baked a fresh batch…" she explained as she knocked on his door
He opened the door,
"Yeah sure…" he agreed taking the plate off her hands and headed back downstairs,
Which made Hermione wonder why he started acting a bit weird but shook the feeling knowing it was only her imagination again, following him downstairs
She saw him take a sit on the couch, while she took a sit next to him
"These are great…" Harry complimented as munching some cookies down
"Yeah…isn't it? It's an old family recipe…" she added taking a piece
"So is it really okay for you that I showed up unexpectedly? I know you told me to leave you alone…but…" Harry said not being to continue all of a sudden
Hermione felt guilty, yes, she had told him to just leave her alone, and that must have hurt him a lot,
And now he was here right before her eyes after she had told him to leave her alone, it wasn't actually the most polite thing to say but here he was
"Harry I'm sorry…I shouldn't have said those things, it was wrong…"
"That's okay Mione…I don't need any apology…really…"
"Believe me Harry…I do…I've been a real asshole the whole year…" she said with a little laugh
"Yeah you were…" he said teasingly with a smirk on his face
"You didn't have to agree that fast you know…" she said sarcastically as they laughed
"Hello guys! How were the cookies?" Mrs. Granger came in, finally arriving with
Mr. Granger bringing in Christmas ornaments
"They were great Mrs. Granger…" Harry complimented standing up from the couch, helping Mr. Granger with the ornaments
"Yeah…they were great…" Hermione added kissing her mum on the cheek
"Thank you James…it's great to have another man around the house for once…"
Mr. Granger said winking at Hermione which made her laugh a bit
"Oh and James I need the extra help I can get…help me get the other decorations out of the storage room would you?" Mr. Granger asked looking at Harry
"Of course Mr. Granger…" Harry replied
"Dad…" Hermione said signaling him that it wasn't a good idea; Harry after all was they're guest
"Nonsense! James is a strong young man! He can handle it! Right James?" Mr. Granger added slapping Harry's arm
"Right! It's okay Mione…I'd like to help around while am here anyway…I don't want to be a burden while am here…" Harry added smiling at her
"Okay then…follow me…" Mr. Granger said as he and Harry headed upstairs
"James is really a nice boy don't you think so dear?" Mrs. Granger asked her smiling
"Yeah he is…but what is that suppose to mean mum?" she asked looking at her mum uncomfortably
"Nothing…I just think he's really nice…" Mrs. Granger added as she headed to the kitchen,
She sat back down on the couch when Harry and Mr. Granger came down bringing large boxes filled with Christmas lights, ornaments and such
They started decorating the living room, when they finished setting up the Christmas tree; she took the star and started climbing the ladder which was a bit unstable as she climbed it
She had a hard time trying to reach the top of the tree, she stretched her hands even further to reach the top, Harry realized she was about to fall, the ladder fell on the ground
As he ran to catch her, and he did just in time, placing her on the couch Mr. Granger saw what happened "Sweet heart are you okay?" he asked her concerned
"Yes…dad…am okay…" she replied relieved that she had avoided almost falling from off the Christmas tree, if it wasn't for Harry
She noticed he was holding his arm with his other hand, looking hurt,
She came closer to him "Harry are you hurt?" she asked taking his hand off his arm for her to see
"No…it's just a little scratch…."he replied with a bit of pain
"Harry! You're bleeding!" Hermione said in a bit of panic, he got hurt with something sharp when he had saved her from the fall,
"I'll get the first aid kit…" Mrs. Granger said running upstairs
Hermione removed his shirt for her to see the wound a little bit better while she placed some medicine on it, it stung him but he was able to take the pain
As she finished, she placed a cast over it,
"Harry…thank you…" Hermione said kissing him on the cheek, she was thankful that Harry had did that for her, even if he got hurt in doing so
