Standard Disclaimers Apply!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hermione woke up with a huge grin on her face. She looked over to Harry and saw that he was already awake. "Hey, what are you doing up?" she asked.

"Nothing. Just thinking." he replied.

"You know, you surprise me." she said while covering herself with the red satin sheets and snuggling up to his side.

"How so?" he replied while running his hands through her hair.

"Before, when ever someone got hurt, you would always blame yourself and be depressed. But now, it's like you've made peace with this situation. You're calm now and serene. I guess I am just wondering what happened to make you this way." she stated.

"Well, after being in a cave for two months, love I've had a long time to think about it. The first few days there were hard. I was so disgusted with myself, Hermione. I couldn't believe what I had done. Then, I just started thinking about how I could never come back here and that the world would be better off without me. Merlin, Hermione I tried to kill myself!" he looked away ashamedly.

She tilted his chin so he could look at her. "What stopped you?" she asked softly.

"You did." he replied just as softly. "Your voice appeared in my head and it stopped me. You made me realize that I could make it through and that I was strong. You helped me so much, love, even though you didn't know it." he said looking at her with his eyes full of love.

"I'm glad that I was able to help." she replied before giving him a passionate kiss. It was a kiss to remind his that she loved him with all of her heart. That she always and will always love him no matter what.

After the need for oxygen became noticeable, they broke the kiss. "I love you." he said.

"I love you too, Harry." she said and smiled.

"So, how's everyone doing?" he said while running his hands up and down her arms.

"Hmm let's see. Oh! Ron's getting married!" she replied excitedly.

"Really? He finally got enough courage to pop the question?" he asked surprised.

"Yeah he did. Oh Harry, Lavender's gone mad! She showed me a picture of the bridesmaid's dresses, and they're absolutely horrid!" she said completely mortified.

"You're a bridesmaid?" he asked shocked. After she nodded her head, he said "But why? I mean you know that I love you but Lavender hates you! Why would she choose you as a bridesmaid?"

"Not just a bridesmaid but the bloody maid-of-honor!" she shrieked.

"Obviously Ron had something to do with this, love." he said.

"Harry, I'm not joking about the dress! I'm going to look like a big ball of cotton candy!" she said before burying her face in her hands.

"You're going to look beautiful, love." he said. "So, how are Remus and Tonks?" he said quickly while changing the subject.

"Tonks is pregnant!" she said happily.

"That's great, love."

"I know. She's so happy, Harry."

"I'm happy for her too. 'Mione love, how did everyone react to what I did?" he asked looking down.

Hermione sighed and she sat on her knees holding the covers with one hand. "Harry, it does it really matter? Just forget about it." she tried to reason with him. She didn't want to say it. Her reaction was nothing compared to Mrs. Weasley's. Poor Molly, she wouldn't stop crying for a week.

"'Mione, I need to know. Please." he pleaded with her.

"Harry, can we please just enjoy being here, please? Let's just enjoy this moment."

"Fine." he didn't want to fight with her. Not when they were so happy. He would ask her another time. This was far from over.

She got up and took the coves with her while making her way to the bathroom. "Hey, where're you going?" he asked.

"I'm going to take a shower." she replied.

"Great! I'll join you." and he followed her into the bathroom.

After they both came out of the bathroom, and dressed, they made their way into the kitchen. When they arrived, Hermione saw Draco's owl with a note tied to its leg. She went to the owl,, got the note, and offered it some water. It happily accepted and stayed where it was; it was clearly waiting for a reply.

Hermione,

Tonight we all go to your place remember? What should Ginny and I bring? What time should we be there? Remember: Lavender is coming so try to get something that she might like too so that this time, we won't hear her complaining throughout the entire movie. Honestly, the bitch can't shut up!

I spoke to Tonks today. She and Remus won't be able to make it. They are going to have dinner at her parent's house. If we are going to watch a movie, PLEASE pick something that isn't a chick flick! Action is good too you know.

Draco

Hermione couldn't believe that she had forgotten. The second Friday of the month, they all got together and played games or even watched a movie. It was the one time that they took time out of their busy lives and all hung out. She wrote a quick reply on the back of the note.

Draco,

Be here at seven. Bring firewhisky, the strongest kind. Maybe if Lavender is drunk enough, she'll pass out. (Just kidding, but bring it anyway.) Don't worry, this time I got an action movie.

Hermione

"Hey, what did Draco want?" he asked.

"They're coming over. It's the second Friday of the month." she said. Then it hit her. Two Aurors are coming to her house where she's harboring a fugitive. 'Fuck!' she thought.

"Harry! You've got to hide! They can't see you! I'm so stupid!" she continued rambling and muttering obscenities while pacing around the kitchen. Harry grabbed her hands and made her face him.

"Hermione, calm down! It's only twelve in the afternoon. I don't have to hide yet. They won't find me. I'll hide in your bedroom closet. Just calm down." he let go of her wrist and hugged her. She buried her face in his chest.

"I just- I can't lose you Harry. Not when I just got you." she said.

"You won't. I'll always be here, love." he replied.

He didn't know that he was wrong.

Again, I'm sooooooooooooooooooo srry that this took so long. Expect the next chapter on friday or saturday. Please Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
