Harry's sleep could not have been better; for once instead of having a nightmare he had had a dream. However for him it was over way to soon. He wished he could stay in the dream but the feelings soon, too soon went away and reality hit him like a brick.

In his dream he had come across a girl roughly his age and she had cared for him, something no one had ever done to him before. The girl had come across friendly and kind something that made his heart swell. Finally after his thoughts about his dream was interrupted by a throbbing headache he opened his eyes.

"Where am I? Wait...am I inside?! How could this be? Nah I must still be dreaming." Harry thought not being able to focus with his throbbing head.

He hastily shut his eyes willing for his headache to stop. Within a while it calmed to the point where he felt comfortable opening his eyes. Within minutes he was scared he was in a room upon something undeniably firm but soft and he was in a household with a design he had never seen before. He was most definitely not in the Dursleys. Taking in his surroundings he took note of the furniture in the room.

There was a small T.V in the corner opposite to one of the oak doors and looking across he seen a wall filled with mahogany bookshelves the rest of the wars were filled with bright green wallpaper. In addition there were two armchairs and two couches one of them which he was upon. Trying to identify what he was upon was difficult especially considering he didn't have his glasses. He finnaly decided he was upon a human, a girl. He wanted to say thank you but she was asleep. He tried to get out of her embrace but she was clutching on to him to tightly to get out of it without waking her up so he just snuggled up to her and slowly fell back asleep.

When Hermione woke up she was curious of the time, her eyes were still puffy from the crying that had took place that morning. Shifting slightly to see the clock on the mantelpiece without waking him up, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. "I've missed lunch, at least the boy is still asleep think he needs it. He's snuggled up to me as well bless him."

At the end of this thought she went for a book on the coffee table beside her, moving her chest which the boy was lying on causing him to be moved. Yet again he woke, he groaned as it had felt so nice in her embrace and turned to face her and said, "Hello why am I here? I am not supposed to darken any doorstep again."

Hermione started crying at how this boy had been injured and been abandoned on purpose she just didn't like it and when the boy noticed she was crying he started himself which made Hermione just do it even more. It would be obvious to anyone but themselves that the feelings for these two were deep for each other and when she could not take it anymore so she said calmingly, "You can stay here with us with me, Hermione, stop crying please." she hadn't even noticed that her parents had been watching from the doorway since both of them had woke.

"Hermione, I'm a freak and worthless there's no point keeping me here no one likes me or ever will I'm a freak." And tried to leave the sofa which he succeeded in as Hermione had lost her embrace from shock but he failed to get past the doorway as Hermione grabbed him and firmly placed him in her lap and said, "Harry I like you with all my heart. Now please stop being so stubborn, how are you a freak."

"Because I am it's why I live under the stairs in a cupboard it's why I do all the chores it's why no one like me." Harry answered.

Hermione's parents could feel the raw love power their daughter was emanating for this boy it was pure love and Hermione shouted so that teh whole of England could hear, "YOU WILL NEVER SLEEP IN CUPBOARD AGAIN do you understand you will never do chores again and finally I LIKE YOU do you understand." with her heart wanting to say love instead to like but not having the courage.

Harry gulped and nodded.

"I'm sorry for shouting, now look there are my parents Dan and Emma." noticing the figures in the kitchen doorway

"Hello Dan and Emma."Harry said slowly unsure.

"Hello honey, I don't think we catched you're name?" Emma asked kindly.

"its Harry."

Dan curious upon how the boy came here upon the state he did, asked, "Harry where did you live before Hermione found you?"

"Pivert drive #4" Harry said painfully now trying to lean further back into Hermione's chest.

"Harry its ok there not going to hurt you." Hermione whispered into his ear softly noticing this gesture and she wrapped her arms round him.

After a bit of comfortable silence Dan asked, "Who wants tea?" itching to get into the kitchen so he could use the phone.

"Yes please." everyone said but Harry.

"No thank you." Harry said.

"Why not Harry you mustn't have eaten since what two days ago?" Hermione said.

"I'm a freak I don't deserve more than one meal a week."

Hermione turned Harry's head to hers and shouted "YOU ARE NOT A FREAK HARRY."

"But I am."Harry said quietly.

"Sorry to interrupt but whose having tea after all you both missed lunch?"Dan asked.

"Everyone, but can I eat mine here with Harry please?"Hermione replied.

"It's bad for you, are you sure?"Emma asked.

"Well I don't think Harry would sit at the table so I am sure otherwise he won't eat" Hermione replied logically.

Harry muttered, "but I don't need any food I'm a fre-"

"Say that once more Harry and you'll be sorry, you will eat at least once everyday"

Harry fell silent and yet again snuggled up on Hermione's chest who still was holding him on her lap and the parents left the room to dish up.

After tea was made, everyone sat down either at their respective places.

Harry and Hermione were given their food which was chips and chicken which Harry just ignored it, he wanted it but he knew he thought he wasn't allowed."This is just a test made by this family to see how much food I need." and just closed his eyes wanting to go to sleep but Hermione kept stopping him and when she finished hers and she noticed Harry hadn't even started she picked up the cutlery herself and fed him though he did it very reluctantly.

Luckily she was very patient otherwise she would be ether crying or shouting or both. Once everyone was finished Dan and Emma came into the room to see a boy sleeping and a very satisfied smile on their daughter and they asked "what happened?"

Hermione said simply "I fed Harry then he fell asleep."

"I bet you he hasn't slept in days properly."Dan said

"I agree but what are we going to do with him?" Emma agreed

"Mum can we adopt him? I don't like the idea of taking him back to that house"

"We'll try dear but for now let's all go to bed or shall we watch a film?"

"Bed please but how am I going to get Harry off me he's clinging?"

"Try being gentle."

"Ok"

Hermione tilted Harry sideways so he was lying in her arms rather than her chest and stood up and went upstairs and went to the left of her room which was the guest bedroom and placed harry on the bed and got him off her by slowly

Releasing each finger one by one he groaned loudly when she left him but fell quiet once again eventually. Once Hermione was in bed she had a feeling that she needed to watch over Harry, to be with him but she pushed the feeling aside and tried to sleep.
