Disclaimer: I own Nothing
Harry walked down the hallway and into the kitchen, the children were still asleep but Hermione was awake. She had not gotten much sleep all night she was still emotional about her break up with jake.
"Hermione" Harry asked entering the kitchen where she was
"Yes Harry" Hermione answered
"Are you still upset?" Harry asked
She looked at him with suspicious eyes "yes why"
"I was just wondering" he said looking at her
"Fine what are you doing up so early" Hermione asked
"It's not that early" Harry answered
"So Harry what did you get me for Christmas" she asked a smile appearing on her rosy cheeks
"That I can't say" Harry returned the smile
"Please" Hermione pleaded
"No now what did you get me" Harry asked genuinely wanting to know
"It's a surprise" Hermione smiled at him
Harry looked at her she was smiling for the first time since her split with jake, it pleased him to see her happy.
"Hermione what did you or as they like to call him Santa get for the kids?" Harry asked forgetting the golden rule
"Children" Hermione said
"Oh sorry children" Harry replied
"Well Ella is getting her favourite muggle book and DVD and some hair clips and some wizarding surprises. She paused for a moment. "Harry is getting a gigantic art set , a lot of chocolate and wizarding surprises , James is getting a 'how to do everything your mother cant' book , Wesley's wizard wheezes bag of tricks and some muggle surprises and Lily is getting a pair of shoes a dressing table and a pretend make up set among other things" Hermione finished
"They're lucky," Harry, pointed out
"More like I can't afford anything better" Hermione sighed
"Look they'll love them" Harry assured her
"Well then what did you get them" Hermione asked wanting to know
"I got Lily a floating fairy which goes on the roof"
"Doesn't sound magical" Hermione pointed out as she wanted magic in her children's lives
"It is wait and see," Harry said sitting down opposite her
"What else"
"I am not telling" Harry said cheekily
"Oh ok" she smiled
"Hermione I mean it"
"Sure" she smiled
"I mean it" he smiled back
"Really" Hermione laughed
"Look I am not telling" Harry said getting sick of the game
"Why not" she smiled
"Maybe because I don't want to" Harry said
"Ok I'll drop it"
Their day proceeded as normal. Harry did his job of getting the children up much to the annoyance of them. By the end of him getting them dressed, it was nearly time for dinner, never mind breakfast or lunch. Harry took them to the park where he gave Hermione a break and a chance for himself to have fun with the children. By the end of the day, they were all exhausted and literally fell into their beds. Leaving Hermione and Harry to enjoy some much needed alone time together.
"I'm exhausted" Harry said flopping down onto the couch in the sitting room
"Yeah me too" Hermione laughed
"I'm gonna watch some relaxing television now if you don't mind" he said yawning and putting his feet up on one of three poufs strewn across the small space
"Yes me too" she said following suit
They sat there for an hour or so watching 'when good wizards go bad' it was a funny show but got boring after a while so they began to talk
"Harry" Hermione said looking at the t.v lazily
"Yes Hermione" Harry said not looking away from the t.v
"This is getting boring," Hermione said between yawns
"Yeah let's go to bed" Harry said, bursting out laughing when he realised what he had said
"Harry I'm not that in love with you" Hermione laughed
"You're not," Harry asked pretending to be offended
"Sorry no" she said going a slight shade of tomato
"Oh well" Harry laughed
"Anyway I am going up to my bed not to sleep with anyone," Harry said
"Yes me too" Hermione followed him up the stairs
"Hermione wanna stay with me tonight," Harry asked
"Yeas sure why not" Hermione smiled
"Harry can I ask you a very personal question" Hermione asked
"Sure" Harry smiled
"When and be honest with your answer was the last time you slept with anyone"
"Not since my first visit here" Harry smiled
"Ok" Hermione smiled
"And let me tell you something" Harry said
"What's that?" Hermione asked
"It feels weird," Harry said
"I'm sure it does"
"Hermione when was the last time you slept with someone and meant it," Harry asked
"You" was all she said before she walked into Harry's room leaving him stunned
