Chapter 13: Chapter 13

I know the story is very, very, very short, but next chapter will be longer. I swear.

A/N: Many people asked me that 'Why not get Harry's parents from the Veil?" I mean after all I did bring Sirius back well to that my answer is that Harry's parents died and Sirius fell into the Veil which is completely different things. Things from the veil can be retrieved ad they are just lost in another dimensions where as Harry's parents died, they can't be gotten back. It goes against the nature.

Any more questions and you can ask me, I will try my best to make you understand.

Three weeks later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"One, two, and three... thirty six… thirty seven…" and Hermione collapsed on the floor and rolled over so she was facing the roof as she breathed heavily, gulping down air greedily.

"Sirius…enough for today." She gasped out, out of breathe. She saw Harry from the corner of her eye and saw that he too was lying on the ground breathing heavily but not complaining like she was.

"No, don't stop now a few more." Sirius said as she shook his head in negative.

Hermione pressed her lips in a thin line and knew better than argue about it."Uuhh! Okay." She said accepting his command and started doing her push ups again with Harry on her side.

"Forty nine… fifty ,you can stop now." Sirius said and walked away and with that Harry and Hermione collapsed on the floor. They had been exercising from at least two hours now; they were both woken up by Remus and Tonks, Sirius wasn't allowed to wake anyone up after the prank he had pulled on Harry. After the usual two miles run, Tonks had informed them that they would start with other exercises and muggle combating too, slowly building up their stamina. They had started on push ups, pull ups; they were taught how to pull a punch and kick on a dummy.

"That's enough." Remus said as Hermione and Harry were still lying on the floor.

"From tomorrow we start with Magic, learn as many spells as you can, we are going to start duelling from tomorrow." He said nodding at both of them and then went out of the room with Tonks and soon Sirius trailing behind him leaving them both alone with each other. The room they both were lying in was specially made for exercising and combating. The room was dark but had long windows in equal distances inviting the rays on sun it, lighting up the whole room with padded floor, so that even if someone fell on it, one wouldn't be badly hurt. The room was a perfect square. Bookshelves covered one of the walls of the room which was overflowing of thousands and thousands of books Defence Against the Dark Arts volumes, Spell Books, potion books, Old and Dangerous Dark Magic which was band years ago to be read by anyone. There also were many different kinds of Dark Detectors all around the room; they were spinning around in circles or making weird noises searching for evil. Cushions were scattered all over the floor which were to be used for practicing defensive spells. On the opposite side of the book shelved wall their hung swords with jewels imbedded, knives, sharpened glittered axes, bow and arrows… many muggle weapons infused with magic making them anything but muggle weapons. Near the third wall there were statues on which they were supposed to practice spells, they would could be controlled and made to fight back.

Harry turned his head and looked at Hermione whose breath now had slowed now, but was breathing heavily. She was sweaty, they both were. Her hair had come out of her bun. She was wearing a white shirt and shorts toady. Her white shirt stuck to her body like her second skin showing her amazing curves; making her more delicious to look at. Last three days they spending almost the whole time together and it mode made Harry harder to hold back his rapidly growing feelings towards her; even harder was keeping him in check around her. His hands itched to touch her, anything-her face, her hair, hand any physical contact would be like being in heaven and every time he did feel like that he had to remind him all the time about 'The talk' which Sirius gave him which was both horrifying and awkward. It did little to stop him though. He had hold his hands down when he would see her re-doing her not under controlled but still frizzy hair and it would come out in minutes again or her bite her lips when she was thinking or when she felt just hopeless. Her Lips, Oh! Her lips, they were magnificent. She licking her dry lips sends tingles in his bod-

"What are you thinking?" Hermione said quietly afraid of breaking the silence bringing Harry out of his fantasies.

"Yo- Nothing." He stuttered.

"Are feeling fine, Harry?"

"Yeah, don't worry about me."

"I'll always worry about you, Harry." Hermione replied with a small smile. Harry took her hand which was lying in-between them and moved a little closer to her, he toyed with her fingers in silence. He turned around and covered her body with his keeping very little space between them. He supported himself with his hand so he wasn't sleeping on her. Her eyes widened and she just looked at him in silence, three weeks of exercise and full stomach had done wonders to him. He no longer looked malnutrition, instead he looked just the opposite. His almost shoulder-length black/brown hair would be tied up in a short ponytail while they were doing their exercise. A strand of hair had slipped out from his tie. Hermione pushed the strand of his hair back and tucked it behind him hair.

"Harry." She said, staring at him.

"Hermione… for all the times you worried about me, for all the timed you fought for me, for all the times you cared about me, for all the time you helped me out, for all the times you spent nights after night in the library, for all the nights you have stayed awake at night thinking about me, for all the times you have scolded me and fought with me, for all the times you took care of me after I was injured or had a bad dream and for giving me a family, I…" Harry stopped and closed the distance between them and brushed his lips with her "For all the things Hermione."

Tell me how did you like the 'moment' between Harry and Hermione right before they kissed?
