'NOT LEAVE HIM ALONE! CEDRIC RUN! IT'S HIM CEDRIC RUN!' Harry screamed

A flash of green light and Cedric's body dropped to the ground as the little man who just killed him laughed.

Then suddenly the scene changed. A pale, snake-looking man slowly got up from the ground and inspected his new body. After a few seconds he walked over to the dead body on the other side of the graveyard.

'NOOOO! LEAVE HIM ALONE! DON'T TOUCH HIM! DON'T!' Harry yelled.

Then suddenly Cedric's body disappeared and Hermione stood at the place he just disappeared. Harry saw Voldemort turning around to face her and raising his wand.

'NOOOO NOT HER! KILL ME, KILL ME INSTEAD! NOT HERMIONE, NOT HERMIONE!

OOOOOOOOOO

"Harry I'm right here, I'm right here for you," Hermione said. She was on her knees beside the couch she had fell from when Harry's nightmare had started. One hand was holding his while the other hand was placed on Harry's forehead.

"Please Harry wake up," Hermione said while she tried to hold on to Harry's hand while he was moving around, all over the couch. "Please Harry, please."

And suddenly, without any warning, Harry snapped his eyes open.

Before he could do anything, Hermione softly pulled the crying and sweating Harry in to her arms. She was crying herself, but that didn't matter now. She softly laid Harry's head on her chest and wrapped her arms around him, just like she had done yesterday. It just felt so natural.

OOOOOOOOOO

Slowly Harry calmed down and realized he was in the arms of his best friend. He had been so scared to lose her. He quickly grabbed his glasses from the floor and put them on his nose. The first thing he saw as he looked up was Hermione's face with tears on it.

"Oh no I'm so sorry," Harry whispered softly, still a little out of breath.

"It's okay Harry," Hermione whispered back. "You have nothing to be sorry about, I'm just glad you're awake now," she added and rested her head against Harry's.

"Thank you, Hermine," Harry said after a short silence. "For everything that you're doing for me."

Hermione just smiled at Harry and held him a bit tighter for a few moments.

"Let's get changed and go down to eat before the rest of the castle awakes," Hermione said as she slowly released Harry and got up from her spot on the floor next to the couch. "I can't believe I'm still wearing my dress," she said and looked down at the slightly rippled dress.

Harry looked at the dress as well. "You look beautiful 'mione," Harry blurted out and his cheeks got red instantly.

Hermione's cheeks got a light blush on it as well. "Thank you Harry, that's sweet of you," she said after a few seconds of slightly awkward silence.

OOOOOOOOOO

After both Harry and Hermione had changed, they both got back to the common room. Together they left the Gryffindor tower to get breakfast.

"You know Harry, I was thinking," Hermione said as they were almost down at the hall. "Maybe you should rearrange your summer plans."

Harry stopped walking and so did Hermione. "What do you mean?" Harry asked slightly confused.

"Well I know that normally you would go to the Dursley's for the summer, mainly because Dumbledore wants it but-'' Hermione said but Harry cut her off.

"I don't care what Dumbledore wants anymore," Harry said softly. Hermione could clearly hear the anger in his voice, not directed at her but at the headmaster of Hogwarts.

"Well I wanted to ask if you maybe wanted to stay at my place for the summe instead," Hermione said as she took Harry's hand to give him some comfort.

Harry felt his mouth fall open when Hermione said this. Was this really happening right now?

"I yes!," Harry stuttered. "I mean that would be amazing 'mione, really oh my god." Harry was smiling like an idiot by now. Just the thought of not having to spend the summer at the Dursley's was brilliant!

Hermione also had a small smile on her face when she saw how happy he looked right now. "Well I didn't have the chance to ask my mum and dad, but I'm sure they'll be okay with it," Hermione said. "I'll explain them what happened and that I want to keep an eye on you this summer."

"I don't want to cause any inconvenience," Harry said quickly. "Really I wouldn't want to cause your family any trouble."

"Relax Harry, as I already said, my parents will be okay with it," Hermione said.

Harry nodded and when Hermione took his hand again he gave hers a little squeak to let her know he appreciated everything she was doing for her.

'Maybe today is going to be a good day. Or at least a slightly better day,' Harry thought to himself as he walked in to the Great Hall.

OOOOOOOOOO

Harry had finally managed to eat half a slice of his toast, the most he had eaten in days, when a large group of students arrived for breakfast. Harry immediately looked to Hermione, signing that he was uncomfortable.

"Let's get out of here," she whispered and took his hand. Without asking any questions or saying anything to the other students Hermione led him out of the Great Hall.

"Thanks 'mione," Harry murmured when he was convinced that they were alone.

Hermione gave him a quick hug. "It's alright Harry, it's what I'm here for," she said softly as she continued to lead him up the stairs.

"Where you going?" Harry asked after a few minutes of walking through the castle.

"You'll see," she said softly as she continued walking with Harry in her hand.

After a few more minutes of walking Harry realized Hermione was leading him up the stairs of the Astronomy tower. He gave her a questioning look but she just shrugged her shoulders.

"I just wanted to enjoy the view for the last time this year," she said as they finally reached the top of the tower.

"Wait what?" Harry asked. "What do you mean for the last time this year?"

"Didn't you know?" Hermione replied. "Because of the whole tournament stuff and what happened all students can go home a week early. The train leaves tomorrow morning at nine, I heard Parvati and Lavender chat about it."

"Oh, no I didn't know," Harry said.

Together Harry and Hermione said down at the edge of the tower and looked over the Hogwarts ground. The wind was blowing around their heads but after a flick with his wand, Harry stopped the wind from doing just that.

'He is such a great wizard, he sure has learned some spells and charms this past year,' Hermione thought to herself when she didn't knew what spell Harry had just used.

Together they sat there in silence. Both holding each other's hand and both once again in their own thougts.

OOOOOOOOOO

Again Harry's thought drifted off to his encounter with Voldemort a few days ago. However he felt safe with Hermione sitting next to him. Even if he would lose control over himself again, he knew she would be there for him.

"Hermione, do you mind if we go back to the tower?" Harry asked after they had spent the entire morning, and even a few hours more, on the tower.

Hermione shook her head. "I don't mind at all Harry, but why you want to go back?" She asked softly.

"Well I thought we could pack all of our stuff now, so we could come back here tonight to watch the night," Harry said quietly.

Hermione nodded her head. "That's a brilliant idea Harry," she said as she stood up from her place, her hand never leaving Harry's.

Together they walked all the way back to the Gryffindor tower.

"I'm always quick with packing," Hermione said. "So I'll come to your dorm after I finish?"

Harry agreed and they both walked up the stairs to their dorms. Harry already missed the warmth of Hermione's hand in his as he entered the empty dorm room.

Harry sat down on his bed and pulled the long-sleeve shirt he was wearing over his head. It was way too warm for that so he took a short-sleeved one from his trunk. When he had put that one on he looked down to his arms and he eyes immediately fell upon the scars that were on his right arm.

Harry couldn't even remember that the cuts he had made were this deep. Carefully he went over the stripes of dry blood. He also counted them, he wanted to know what the damage on his arm was.

Eleven. Eleven cuts Harry counted. Most of them were two or three inches long and were pretty deep. How could he have made so deep cuts with just a stone?

With a sigh Harry pulled the shirt of his body again and put the long-sleeve version back on to cover his cuts up. He then slowly got up from his place and started to pack his stuff.

OOOOOOOOOO

"Hey there,"' Hermione said softly as she entered the boys dorm. "How is packing going?"

"Eh it's okay," Harry replied as he crawled under the bed to take a book from the floor. "I just need to pack a few books, my potions stuff, Hedwig's stuff and these," He said, pointing at a pile of clothes on his bed.

"Boys," Hermione said playfully as she began folding Harry's clothes. "Here Harry you should put this one on instead of that warm thing you're wearing now," she added and handed him a shirt.

Harry was thinking of an excuse to tell he didn't have to put on the short sleeved shirt. After a few seconds he still hadn't found an excuse so he accepted the shirt. When he saw that Hermione was busy folding his clothes again he quickly changed shirts, carefully checking that Hermione couldn't see his arm.

After half an hour of packing, Harry was finished as well and sat together with Hermione on his bed. Hermione had, of course, a book in her lap and was reading while Harry was looking absently on the Marauders map. When he found the dot that said 'Ronald Weasley' his heart skipped a beat.

Harry missed Ron but on the other hand was Harry very angry with him. Not once since harry had returned from the maze with Cedric's dead body, not once, had Ron come to check on him. He felt betrayed.

'I mean look at Hermione and all that she has done for me ever since that night. She is a real friend, a friend that cares about me. Ron is just a self-centred git,' Harry thought to himself.

"Harry what you want to do for dinner?" Hermione asked him after a while. "Do you want to skip it?"

Harry looked confused for a moment before he replied as he had come up with an idea. "I got it covered," He said, not giving any further clue.

"Alright I guess," Hermione said slightly confused. "Does that mean we're not skipping dinner?"

"You'll see 'mione," Harry said with a little smirk on his face.

"Okay you dork, surprise me," Hermione said before giving Harry a smile.

OOOOOOOOOO

When It started to get dark outside Harry took Hermione's hand and together they walked out of the Gryffindor tower. Harry led Hermione back to the Astronomy tower where they were this morning. Harry quickly installed the anti-wind charms so they would not get cold.

"Okay Harry, you're going to tell me your plan for dinner now?" Hermione asked. "I'm a bit hungry to be honest."

"Alright then," Harry said before he turned around and called out Dobby's name.

Within a second the small house-elf appeared. "What can Dobby do for mister Harry potter sir?" the elf squeaked.

"Well Dobby, I wanted to ask if you would be able to bring us some dinner up here," Harry said, smiling at the elf's enthusiast reaction. "We don't really want to go to the Great Hall at the moment."

Dobby didn't reply but simply nodded his head before he disappeared, with a smile on his little face. The elf knew exactly what Harry needed right now.

"Oh my god that's such a good idea Harry," Hermione said as Harry sat down next to her. "I should have thought about that!"

Harry laughed for a few seconds. "You always think about everything, so it's alright 'mione," He said and he was happy to see her relax and smiling at him.

"I like it when you call me that," Hermione said softly. "It's the only real nickname that I like to be honest, I hate it when people call me Herm or Grangy or things like."

"Well 'mione it is then," Harry said and smiled at her reaction.

A few minutes later Dobby appeared again and with him were five other house-elves. All their little hands were loaded with plates of food and cans of water and pumpkin juice. The elves placed the food and drinks all around Harry and Hermione and disappeared again.

"Well that's dinner then I guess," Harry said and started laughing as he saw Hermione staring with her mouth open at all the food around her.

Harry and Hermione both started to eat and were amazed when they realized that Dobby had made sure to bring all of their favourite dishes to the Astronomy tower.

Harry really enjoyed having this dinner with Hermione. It felt personal, comfortable and most of all he felt safe with her.

After they both had eaten more than enough food Harry made it all disappear with his wand. All, except for a bowl with fruits that they both plucked from every now and then.

"Thank you for this dinner Harry, it was so lovely," Hermione said as she sat a bit closer and laid her head on his shoulder.

Harry smiled when her head touched his shouder. It fitted perfectly. Harry automatically put his arm around her and was happy when he heard Hermione making a sort of purring noise, like a cat who appreciates something.

"Can't we just sit here all night?" Harry said so quietly it was almost a whisper.

"We can Harry," Hermione replied softly. "I want to."

'in this moment I feel infinite,' Harry thought to himself.
