A/N: CHAPTER 7 !

AND GINNY'S COMEBACK! WITH A BIT OF SECRET …. WHAT CAN IT BE?

DISCLAIMER: I NEVER AND NEVER WILL OWN HARRY POTTER AND ITS CHARACTERS ….

I woke up on a breezy March morning to an empty bed as the aroma of vanilla filled up my senses. I smiled, shifting to the other side, which was still warm and cozy. Probably my wife woke up moments ago. I bury my face into her pillow, as I recall our life for the past one year. We were blessed with a baby girl almost ten months ago and his sweet little giggles, her cries and most of all, her loving me more than her mother made me love that little baby angel even more. She and my wife were my world; the family I always wished have. A small little world of mine.

I rub my eyes as I finally get up on my feet, giving out a huge yawn. I walk over to the kitchen and find my lovely wife making pancakes while my baby girl sat on her high chair and sipped the water from her sipper. I couldn't stop smiling at them, when my beloved's eyes met mine, as she gave me a huge smile.

"Finally daddy decided to wake up Lily." She laughed as I walked to her and gave her a soft morning kiss.

"And you decide to ditch me in the bed." I retorted when Lily cooed, spreading her arms, asking me to lift her up. Her behavior got a huge smile on my face, as I gathered my baby Lily in my arms and gave a kiss on her nose.

"Morning sunshine!" I cooed as her huge green eyes met mine out of curiousness. "Mummy hates your daddy for waking up late."

"Maybe because it's almost ten in the morning." My wife said, rolling her eyes as she flipped the pancake.

"Hermione, its Saturday!" I drawled and then made faces at my daughter in my arms." Isn't it baby?"

Lily's giggles filled up the kitchen as I bounced her in my arms and started trying out a little of some stunts with her which she enjoyed.

"Harry James Potter!" Hermione roared as I threw Lily in the air and caught her back." If anything happens to my baby girl, I swear-!"

"'Mione, Lily enjoys it."I said innocently and then made a face at my baby. "Doesn't she?"

Lilly gave out a huge smile and something which Hermione and I wanted to hear the most-

"Da-da!" The girl squealed." DA-DA!"

"That's my baby girl." I said, kissing on top of Lily's head as she snuggled into my embrace. And then, looking smugly at my wife, I said" See, she loves me more!"

Hermione chuckled, as she placed the last pancake on the plate and pulled me and Lily for a family hug. I held my favorite women closer to my warmth, when Hermione said" She's her daddy's girl. It was expected from her." Giving a small kiss on our daughter's cheek, she took Lily into her arms, and the mother daughter duo exchanged smiled.

"My clever little girl!" She said as Lily repeated 'Da-Da' again.

My wife laughed and looked at me."Enjoy this for the next eleven years."

"Why not more than that?" I asked her.

"Because, once she hits puberty, she will be coming to me for girl talks." she answered.

I scoffed a laugh and walked over to her." She may come to you for a girl talk. But she'll come to me for her relationship problems."

"How are you so sure?" My wife challenged.

I played along." Maybe because she is like her lovely mother who used to go to her daddy for such talks."

Hermione's jaw dropped as I laughed. Lily joined the laughter when I continued "Jean told me."

Hermione huffed at me." Okay, you win."

I smiled at my lovely wife, as I gave her a hug and said" I love you and Lily so much."

We remained in an embrace when a small 'Da-Da' was heard for the fourth time. Hermione chuckled and broke away from the embrace. Giving me a brief kiss, she said" We love you too and I love you loads."

Harry's eyes fluttered at his woman's soft fingers caressing his cheeks. He smiled and turned to face her, when his eyes met her chocolate brown ones. She was Hermione Granger; his best friend, fiancée and probably the girl he ever loved.

"I wouldn't mind if Lily is her daddy's girl." Hermione smiled at him, brushing his messy black locks off his face. Harry realized that they were curled up on their couch as the sun shone brightly in their living room.

"All I want is her to look like her mother." Harry said, kissing Hermione softly. Everything had changed between them after Hermione's confession and breakup with Draco almost a month and a half ago. The two friends had taken a level up the very last night and yet, Harry still couldn't believe that Hermione Granger was now his girlfriend. He had never in his life had imagined themselves to end up like this. But had started imagining a lot after learning about the cure to their dreams. Harry didn't want Hermione to love him as a burden; but as her Prince Charming she always wished to have.

Hermione broke away and giggled. "Slow down there Harry! We've just got together last night! Having babies is a long way to go!"

Harry chuckled, pulling Hermione onto his lap. "Like I don't know that. But 'Mione, I must ask you, are you happy that we are together?"

The brunette merely smiled at him and gave a kiss on his nose and said "I am more than happy Harry. You know I wanted this. And so did you. And I really don't regret us Harry. It's true that we've never even thought of each other more than a friend. Well, in my case, Ron – I dunno why that even happened. Then it was Draco. To be honest, he is a charming man. And you-you mean more than anyone else Harry. I am ready for our relationship. And I know it will be better than mine and Ron's or mine and Draco's. Harry-"

All Harry did was to kiss her. He felt her smiling into his lips as her lips moved in sync with his. Their snogging went on for moments, when Hermione broke away, as her cell rang. "Ginny?" she said in surprise. "When did she get a cell?"

"I got her one. And then saved her number in yours." Harry answered. "Answer her already!"

Hermione rolled her eyes as she got off Harry's lap and answered the call."Hey Gin! Morning!"

"Morning!" Ginny answered at the other end. "What are you up to?"

"Well-"Hermione started, as she walked to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. "I need to tell you something!"
"So do I!" The younger witch exclaimed. "Can we meet in Fortescue's ?"

"Yeah sure!" Hermione said with a smile. "Seeing it's just nine, can we meet by noon?"

"Sure. See you then!"

"See you. Bye!"

"Bye!"

Hermione cut the call and kept threw it on the couch. She forgot that Harry was still sitting over there and flinched as Harry exclaimed in pain.

"Ow!'Mione! "He said , rubbing his swollen knuckles. "See where you are throwing things!"

Hermione chuckled and sat next to Harry. Giving his hurt knuckles a rub, she kissed it."Sorry." she said. "Will keep that in mind. Okay."

Harry smiled, when she kissed his cheeks and got on her feet.

"Why did Ginny call you this early?"He asked.

"She wanted to meet me. That's all." Hermione said. "Harry, can you be a darling and work on the breakfast while I take a shower?" She asked.

"Sure. Anything for you." Harry answered as he darted to the kitchen to make a proper English breakfast for his girlfriend.

Hermione walked through the familiar streets of Diagon Alley as she saw the small Wizarding hub working in and out in its usual pace. It had been almost twelve years ever since she had first been here and had grown to love this place. She walked in Florean Fortesque's Ice Cream Parlor, where she found a certain ginger female, waiting for her.

"Hi Gin!"Hermione exclaimed as Ginny got up to give her a hug. "How are you doing. I haven't seen you in a month!"
"I've been doing well." Ginny smiled. "There are no international Quidditch matches for now. So I'm in England for the timing. What about you?"

"I've been really busy and confused lately." Hermione answered. "You see, Harry asked me out last night."

The redhead squealed and pulled Hermione for another hug. "OH my GOD! I knew it! Why didn't you guys get together earlier? Cut that! How did he ask you?"

Hermione gave her a shy smile. "Well-"she started. "Harry and I went for our movie night and he proposed it as a date. I quite enjoyed it. After we came back to our apartment, we weren't sleepy. So we decided-"

"Don't tell me that you guys had sex!" Ginny said loudly.

Hermione blushed crimson and looked around to check whether anyone had heard. Luckily, they were engaged in their very own business.

"Ginevra Weasley, get your mind out of the gutter! We didn't- have sex. But we saw another movie. And Harry picked my favorite. By the end of the movie, we got so involved and kissed. Then, he asked me out and I said yes." She finished.

"How romantic!" Ginny exaggerated a sigh. "I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks." Hermione smiled. "And you wanted to tell me something as well." she further prompted.

"Um,well-"Ginny stuttered", Draco Malfoy asked me out."

Hermione jaw almost touched the ground. Draco asked her out? "That's great news!" she said sincerely. "I-he's moved on. And I'm glad. You are so lucky Ginny! Really lucky!"

Now it was Ginny's turn to blush when Hermione continued "It's weird isn't it? We are dating our exes!"

"Sure it is."Ginny agreed.

"Well that's good news. For both of us." Hermione sighed. "Also, did I mention that Harry and I are getting dreams lately? And not nightmares?"

"Really?" the younger witch asked curiously. "What was it this time?"

"Well, Harry and I had a daughter and she spoke her first word-'Da-Da'."Hermione chuckled, when she noticed Ginny giving her an odd look. "What is wrong Gin?"

Ginny shook her head. "Nothing. I was just wondering." she smiled. "Do you mind if I drag you for shopping? I mean, I have a date tonight-"

"I wouldn't mind." the brunette said as she got up. "Let's go already!"

Ginny panted an excited smile on her face as she and Hermione went for her dress-hunt. She had decided to talk to Harry about the dream. Had he told Hermione the cause of it? Probably not. She knew that Harry wanted Hermione to fall in love with him and not because of the solution to their connected dreams. But if he didn't tell Hermione, they both would face a circumstance which they wouldn't appreciate. She had to talk to him before it was too late.
