AN: So I hate to say this guys but I think this is the hardest story for me to update. I have no idea why because I absolutely adore Harmony stories. It might get easier once I get past all the pain from the surgery but who knows. I've been thinking about starting another Harmony Fanfic and also a Remione Fanfic. I'm still working on some ideas for a good Nevmione Fanfic because I think Neville deserves a good story. If you like the idea of any of those just give a shout out. Once again anything you recognize is JK Rowling's anything you don't is mine.

Harry POV

Hermione was snoring softly next to me. Sometime during the night her icepack had come off and bruises were starting to form.

It was hard not to watch her. She looked so cute and innocent. As if she had never been through a war. I traced my fingers against her arm. She shuddered then relaxed against my side. I absolutely loved that she felt safe around me. The way she never guarded her words around me. She knew she could say anything to me without me judging her.

My fingers traced against the soft skin by Hermione's throat. Even in sleep her breathing quickened. One mark stood out on her neck that made me want to kill Bellatrix. It was the scar she had gotten after being tortured by her. That was probably one of the worst days of my life. I still had nightmares about her screams and her broken bleeding body. Hermione didn't know this but the Horcrux Ron and I had destroyed in the woods had turned into Hermione being tortured.

"Harry." I looked up to see Hermione's eyes watching me a little smile on her face.

"Hey Honey, how do you feel?" I asked brushing a curl out of her eyes. Her hand reached up and grabbed mine.

"I feel better." She mumbled holding my fingers against her cheek.

"Good." I whispered watching her chocolate brown eyes.

"Harry?" She mumbled looking up at me from under her eye lashes.

"Yeah?" I said scooting down so I could lay next to her. She slowly touched her fingertips to my cheek. A shiver raced down my spine and I threw caution to the wind.

Hermione's eyes widened as I leant closer to her and then fluttered shut as I pressed my lips against hers. A heavy breath wooshed out of her mouth and I pulled her against me. How had I never noticed, after all of our hugs, that our bodies fit perfectly together? My hands slid onto her waist and pulled her closer to me. My body was heating up quickly and the evidence of my desire was pressing against her side. She froze under my hands and pulled away, her cheeks flushed.

"Sorry," I whispered breathily.

"How long?" She asked wrapping her arms around my neck.

"How long what?" I asked, trailing my fingers up and down her spine. She shivered and let out a small sigh.

"How long have you liked me?" She asked looking up at me, her eyes sparkling.

"When Ron left during the hunt." I whispered watching her closely. Her eyes widened and a light flush spread across her cheeks. "How about you?"

"I've always liked you." I froze my eyes widening. Always?

"What about Ron?" I asked my voice slightly off.

"Its always been you, Harry." She whispered kissing my fingertips. "I've liked you ever since you saved me from the troll in our first year."

"Our first year?" I asked shocked.

"Yes and I've loved you since the skirmish at Malfoy Manor." My body froze and I looked at Hermione my eyes wide.

"But what about the kiss with Ron?" I asked, my voice thick with emotion.

"I thought you still loved Ginny and tried to see if anything could work between Ron and I." I blinked, my mouth slightly open in shock. "Obviously it was like kissing a brother... but kissing you?"

"Yeah?" I asked huskily.

"Its amazing..." She sighed, her minty breath fanning over my face. I leaned down and placed a kiss against Hermione's lower lip. She hummed and pulled me closer. "I love you Harry."

AN: Please Review! It helps so much more than you realize. When I get more reviews it makes it easier to update. So I have a feeling this fanfic won't be very long. Honestly I think it would be lucky to even end up only being twenty chapters because things are moving so fast. Then again maybe it will be longer we'll just have to wait and see.
