Hey guys and gals! Enjoy!
It was an early Saturday morning and everyone was awake. Mr. Granger was out fishing in the nearby lake, Harmony was still in her lilac nightgown playing in her room; while Hermione was sitting in living room with me still in her baby blue nightgown. I was sitting in the living room in my soft grey night pants and old Qudditch jersey; listening to Hermione lightly playing Brand New Key on our smoky colored piano. She was at peace. Her hands flow up and down the keys, lightly pressing them down. I got up from the couch than gently sat beside her, a small smile is painted onto her face.
"Hi," I said.
"Hi," she answers stopping to meet my eyes.
"What made dig out our song?" I wondered placing my arm around her waist pulling her closer.
"I was just thinking about what to play; it kind of just popped into my head," she cooed placing her head on my shoulder.
"I'm glad it did," I whispered kissing her forehead.
We sat there for a moment until Harmony came out of her room, holding from what it looked like some of Hermione's old sheet music. She ran up to the us and thrusted the paper into Hermione's hand.
"Mommy, can you teach me how to play this?" she asked eagerly.
I took one look at the music and read Love Somebody. This was the first song Hermione ever played in front of me. It was remarkable. Hermione helped Harmony onto the bench and placed her into front of her. She took Harmony's hands in hers and gently placed them on the keys.
"Love, you start at C than its goes C, E, G,G," Hermione said playing with Harmony's hands.
"Like this?" Harmony asked and tried by herself.
"Close," I said.
Harmony turned to me with wide eyes.
"You know how to play?" she questioned.
"Love, your mom taught me, right Herms?"
"True, very true, let's try only the first staff today ok?" Hermione said.
"Ok, but can you sing the rest?" Harmony pleaded.
"Sure," Hermione said brushing Harmony's curls out of her face.
"C, E, G, G, then D, E, F, right daddy?"
"You nailed treble clef now try bass clef," I cheered.
"C, E, G, G, then it goes F, E, D, nice?" she wondered.
"Love, just don't forget to hold the F at the end of the treble clef; and the D in the bass," Hermione reminded her.
"Why?" she asked.
"They both our half notes," I answered.
"Ok, mommy sing!" Harmony cheered.
"Alright love."
Hermione pulled the music closer to her, then began to play.
"Love some-bod-y, yes I do! Love some-bod-y, you know who! Love some-bod-y, Can you guess? You're the one I love the best. I love you." Hermione finished holding down the last note looking at me.
"Wow," Harmony said.
"Why?" Herms wondered.
"Mommy, you sound so pretty!" Harmony exclaimed turning to hug Hermione.
"Thanks love," Hermione said returning the hug but it soon turned into an embrace.
I walked up to look for my muggle camera then quietly snapped the picture; that displayed this beautiful moment between mother and daughter.
"Daddy! You can get in the hug too!" Harmony whined.
"Yeah, daddy hurry up," Hermione laughed.
I quickly got in the hug placing Harmony in the middle. Harmony was to busy giggling to notice the soft kiss I placed on Hermione's lips.
"Ice cream?" I offered.
"Yes!" both of them cheered.
"But we have to get dressed first," I chuckled.
Both of them groaned and shot me a dirty look. It was scary! It was like I was seeing doubles.
"Come on lady's, it's two scoop Saturday," I laughed.
"Since when?" Hermione questioned.
"Since, I promoted to Head Healer," I countered.
"You did!" Hermione cheered.
"Daddy got promoted, so happy dinner!" Harmony jumped up.
By that she met that we will be eating sandwiches or something simple for dinner; while watching movies until late. Also she has no bedtime tonight.
"Let's go!"
Hermione pulled up Harmony picked out an outfit then they dashed into our room. I followed shortly. Hermione passed Harmony a pale yellow shirt that had a brown puppy on it. Then quickly threw a light green shirt over her head. I looked over to see both girls pulling on faded blue jeans. Harmony had a problem buttoning then so she ushered over towards me.
"Daddy, can you help me?"
"Sure," I answered pulling an orange shirt over my head.
I fasten her jeans then she ushered back over to Hermione; who was slipping her feet into light grey flats. I pulled a pair of fair colored blue jeans over me, then slide my feet into my white trainers. Harmony jumped into her crispy white flats. Next stop was the hair.
Since Hermione cut her chestnut hair it wasn't that bad, it was a quick comb down. My hair was a wet brush it down then hope for the best type. Harmony had both problems. Hermione placed her on the counter and sadly brushed her hair.
"Done yet?" Harmony pleaded.
"Yes, sweetie."
She hopped down from the counter hugging Hermione and grating her a 'thanks'.
We apprated to Diagon Ally then went on a hunt for Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. We soon found the little shop; placed our orders then got a table. Harmony wanted all chocolate, Hermione asked for mint chocolate chip and black walnut; while I'm strictly a vanilla man. As we waited I notice Ginny walk in with Malfoy on her arm. Trying to avoid them I looked at the window.
"What's wrong?" Hermione asked looking up from her game with Harmony.
"Nothing," I lied.
"Harry James Potter, don't lie to me," she said sternly.
"It's just Ginny and Malfoy," I mumbled.
Hermione looked around until she spotted them then frowned.
"Don't let them ruin your time," she said placing her hand over mine.
"I won't," I told her looking deep into her cocoa eyes.
"Good," she smiled leaning in and kissing me.
"Yucky!" Harmony exclaimed.
"Hush you," Hermione and I laughed.
We began talking and answering any off the wall questions from Harmony asked us. She could as questions for hours and hours, thank Merlin the ice cream came so she couldn't. I looked over to my right to catch Ginny and Malfoy walking towards us. Harmony had ice cream all around her mouth, Hermione was trying so hard to get it but couldn't help but laugh; I soon joined in.
"Oh look it's Scar-Head and the Know-it-all," Malfoy snarled.
"Good afternoon to you to Malfoy," I grumbled.
"Gin, looks like they made a little hellion," he chuckled.
"Don't insult my daughter, Malfoy," I told him seriously.
"Get lost Malfoy! We aren't in school anymore, the name calling really?" Hermione exclaimed.
"Mudblood, still doing all the work it see," he slithered.
I noticed Hermione was looking at Ginny, hoping for a little defense but saw nothing.
"You know, I think it's time to go," I said.
"Daddy, can we stay a little longer," Harmony pleaded.
"You know what, sure," I told her taking my spoon and scooping up some of Hermione's.
"Know-it-all, Scar-Head, and little hellion, leave now!" Malfoy ordered.
"NO!" Ginny yelled.
All of our heads snapped toward her direction.
"Draco, they can stay. Hell, so am I," she said sternly.
"Lovebug, why?" Malfoy asked.
"I miss my best friend. I haven't seen Hermione in what five or six years, ok? I miss her. I read her section in the Daily Prophet everyday, not for just fun. I wish I could go back a side with you two. But I can't. Hell, Draco maybe we both should make amends," Gin rushed out with tears in her eyes.
I looked over at Hermione who also had tears eyes.
"Love, get up real quick," Hermione ushered to Harmony.
Hermione got up and Ginny threw herself to Hermione pulled her into a tight embrace. Then both held each other tears coming from both of them. Both shoulders stained with one of another's tears.
"I miss you too," Hermione choked out.
"I'm so sorry, Hermione," Ginny cried out.
Harmony turned towards me with a confuse look on her face. She then took her hand a wiped my tears away. Wait! I'm crying? It's true I was. Hermione was so heartbroken when Ginny didn't side with us, took her years to get over the fact that she lost her best friend. Harmony leaped down from the chair then walked over to were the girls stood.
"Mommy, why are you crying?" Harmony asked sounding worried.
Hermione crouched to look at Harmony, "I'm just really happy."
"Ok, can I get a hug too?" she wondered.
We let out a laugh than Hermione pulled Harmony into a tight hug.
"Love, you can always get a hug," Hermione laughed.
"All this sappy stuff is making me feel weird, Gin can we go," Malfoy pleaded.
"Drake, sure. I'll owl you or visit. Don't you leave near Bill and Fleur?" she asked.
We simply nodded. Once they left I looked over at Hermione and it looked like she was glowing. Once we finished, we went to Flourish and Blotts for some books then headed home.
Once home, Hermione and I just made simple ham and cheese sandwiches with the assistants of Harmony. We gathered in the living room then started watching old muggle princess movies. As we watched the Beauty and Beast I notice Hermione lean into Harmony's ear and whisper something causing them both to erupt in giggles.
"What's funny?" I asked.
"Daddy, I had no idea you were in a movie!" Harmony bursted with laughter.
"I'm not in a movie," I said.
"Oh look you're own t.v. now!" she laughed as the Beast appeared with Belle.
"Oi! Hey you two!" I exclaimed tickling them her.
"Stop! Stop! I give!" she pleaded.
As we continued the marathon of kids movie, I slowly notice Harmony drift into sleep; leaning onto me.
"Guess it's bedtime?" I yawned.
"Darn it! She's going to miss the rest of Toy Story 2," Hermione frowned.
"I swear sometimes I wondered whose the little kid," I chuckled.
"Just move her into our room tonight," she said ignoring my comment.
I nod, scoop my princess in my arms then head to our room. When I reached then room I laid her on the bed, then removed her shoes, and clothes. Hermione walked in and handed me one of her old Gryffindor shirt; I gently slide it over Harmony's head then placed her in center of the bed. Or in her case 'her spot'.
I took off my shirt and shot it in the hamper; soon copied the motion with my pants but missed.
"Zero points," Hermione laughed pulling her soft pink nightgown over head.
"Oh noo," I chuckled pulling her into a tight embrace.
We just stood there for a moment enjoying this. I leaned down kissed her forehead.
"Thanks," I whispered in her ear.
"For what, love?"
"For Harmony, our unborn child, being my wife, best friend, and for just being there," I told her looking deep into her brown orbs.
Instead of responding with words, she responded with her lips. We got into bed snuggling close to Harmony entwining our hands.
Can someone make me a cover for this story please?
