Chapter 2: Something New

It was the last day of the term and Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all heading to leave Hogwarts. They had an 'eventful' year if you say. Harry found out that someone from Azkaban was out to kill him, that the person that wanted to kill him was his Godfather. He also saved his life and cast a protronous stag which was something only a very powerful wizard could do. Yup one eventful year.

"Wow, can you believe that we're done already?" Ron asked.

"I know it just went by didn't it?" Harry said sarcastially "You know, if you exclude the whole 'I've got a godfather, helping out a hippogriffe, going back in time, you know the stuff that made this year exciting," Harry said wearing his trademark lopsided grin.

Hermione ran up to her dorm while Harry was talking and was now coming downstairs with her things.

"Ok! Well thats all of it. You boys ready?" Hermione said, she glanced over at Harry and Ron who were sitting in the common room playing Wizard's chess.

wow Harry looks hot..gah Granger youre thinking like that again!

"My things are still up in my room, I'll get it as soon as i whoop Harry's arse," Ron said grinning.

"Har Har, Ron I will win one of these days" Harry said.

"Yeah, the day I marry Loony Lovegood," Ron said rolling his eyes.

"Honestly! Harry be a good boy and go get your things from upstairs," she said while sitting in an arm chair by Harry.

"Aw, cmon 'Mione I might actually have a chance," Harry said pouting.

With the next move Ron made he won. So they got up and left to go get their things.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron were on Hogwarts Express talking when all of a sudden Draco Malfoy came in.

"Look it's Potty and his Mudblood, oh and can't forget his pet Weasel," Draco said while Crabbe and Goyle were laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world.

"Get out Malfoy,"Harry and Hermione said.

"What? Did I strike a nerve?" Malfoy said while showing off his trademark Malfoy smirk.

"I..said..get..OUT!" Harry said yelling the last word.

"Fine, wouldn't want to be in here with you anyways." With that Malfoy and his puppets left.

The trio were at King's Cross looking around the crowd for any signs of their parents.

"RON! GINNY! HERE OVER HERE!" Mrs. Weasley shouted.

She ran up to them and gave Ron and Ginny one of her famous hugs. She saw Harry and Herimone breifly looking at eachother and look away blushing. Odd, oh well it was bound to happen, Mrs. Weasley thought. She than gave Harry and Hermione hugs.

"Mrs..Weasley...I...hard...breath...please" Harry barely managed to say.

She loosened her grip on him and let him go.

"Sorry, you truly are too skinny for your own good" Mrs. Weasley said.

"Oh look! It's my parents! I'll see you later Harry!" Hermione said and gave harry a hug and ran off to her parents. (Must have been the effects of the potion.)

Harry grinned she likes hugging people this year..maybe she'll -woah stop right there Potter don't even THINK ABOUT IT Harry spotted his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia in a corner looking like there was a plague going around. Harry walked towards them.

"Boy, what took you so long? Next time tell you girlfriend to leave earlier." Vernon said while slamming Harry's things into the trunk of their new Jaguar. ''And, don't get anything on my new seats."

Harry snorted and rolled his eyes. The car ride was loud with Petunia laughing like a hyena and Vernon accusing Harry of moving too much around the seats.

When they arrived Dudly was no where to be found. I bet he's somewhere hiding eating, probably going to grow another chin or two, Harry chuckled at his thoughts.

"Go up to your room, don't expect us to help," Vernon said before he went to the kitchen.

Here goes another great summer in the Dursley house Harry thought picking up his things and Hedwig and heading upstairs.

One week and 6 days later...

Only one more day until Hermione was going to Portkey to the Dursley's and she could not help but think why Dubledore wanted her to spend the summer with him. She quickly got rid of those thoughts and new ones came flying in, what is he going to look like? Will he be any taller? He can't be it's only been a little while, I wonder if his lips are really that soft. I can't wait to hug him again.

With a grin Hermione went to bed with wonderful dreams of Harry.

The Next Day -12P.M.-

"Ok dear you will call us as soon as you reach Harry's home right?" Hermiones mother, Stephanie Granger said.

"Yes dear you should atleast owl us, or call us, or even mail us to let us know," Hermione's dad, Jake, said.

"Mom, dad! I WILL, ok? I'll do all of it if I can get you off of my back!" Hermione said frustrated.

"Ok well I guess this is goodbye, I'll see you during the holidays" Hermione said. She brought out the old beaten up ring out of her pocket and put it on. Nothing. She waited for a few minutes. Still nothing.

"Do you think it was set for midnight?" Stephanie asked, Jake just nodded.

"I don't know I think I will just stay here with the ring on, so when it activates I can just Portkey there. I'll stay home today," Hermione said.

"Alright honey you can stay," her parents said and left.

XxX

Midnight...

Hermione was fast asleep on the couch, still wearing the ring, when all of a sudden she felt like she was being tossed around.

"AAHHH!" Hermione screamed.

Hermione landed face first on the Dursley's lawn. Hermione checked the address and saw that she landed directly in front of number 4.

Harry awoke with a startle. He heard someone scream and fall nearby.

"Oh no, don't tell me someone is here," Harry said getting up from his small bed. He surly wasn't expecting to see what he saw. Hermione laying face down in front of his yard (well not his) and getting up he ran down the steps avoiding the two steps that squeaked making sure that his Uncle or Aunt, or worse, Dudly, weren't awoken.

He rushed out of the door and helped Hermione up. "Hermione are you alright? What's wrong? Why are you here? It's midnight!" Harry whispered loudly.

"Huh, oh I don't know right now, my head hurts. Can you get me inside please?" Hermione asked.

Harry led Hermione up the steps, still making sure that they did not wake anyone up. Once they got up to Harry's room he brought Hermione onto his bed. He took an extra pillow from his bed and dropped it on the floor, there he lay staring at the ceiling fingers dug in his hair, ankles crossed just thinking. Why was Hermione here? Should I ask her? I wonder if she is sleeping right now. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice Hermione staring at him with awe. He looks so peaceful, should I talk to him?

It was a few minutes before any of them talked, Harry just lay there thinking while Hermione lay there staring at him. Harry was the first to speak.

"Mione...I don't mean to be rude, but why are you here?" Harry asked without trying to sound rude.

"Well...it's a long story, how about you er...come up on the bed and I'll tell you about it." Hermione said trying not to sound desperate. She really wanted to be close to Harry and she'd even lie about it to get closer.

"Erm...ok" Harry said getting up. He settled himself on the edge of the bed trying not to touch Hermione.

"Come closer,"she said. He scooted a little closer but that was it. She tried not to be disappointed, so instead she moved closer to Harry. Than she proceeded to tell Harry about Dumbledore wanting her to stay at his place this summer. She also told him about the portkey time mixup. He laughed at that part, after she was done she laid back down onto the bed and Harry made a move to get off but Hermione stopped him.

"Harry, no. Don't this bed is big enough for us. Sleep with me tonight, please?" Hermione pleaded. That potion was really taking a tole on her.

"Hermione...I don't know–ok I guess," He said after he saw the look on her face.

He got up on the bed, trying his best not to touch her in anyway. He finally found a comfortable position, Hermione instantly scooted by him and placed her arm on his chest. Harry looked surprised but didn't have the heart to tell Hermione to scoot away.

"Night, 'Mione." Harry said sleepily

"G'night Harry," Hermione said. The potion was effecting her again and she kissed him on the lips. To her surprise he started to kiss back, she licked his lips and asked permission to enter, and her let her. Within a few minutes his shirt and her pants were off. Apparently Harry was enjoying this just as much as her because they only broke apart when their brains were screaming for air. Near 3am they were laying on his bed naked with goofy grins on their faces as they were sleeping.

Oh they were in for something in the morning (later, in the morning.)

XxX

Later in the morning...

Harry awoke with some weight by his side, than he realized that it was Hermione, laying there, naked. Oh no! Hermione! Why did I do that? Our friendship is ruined! Oh no, oh no what should I do? Oh no, I'm dead.

He slipped his glasses on and slid out of the bed making sure not to wake Hermione. He slipped on his boxers and pajama pants and looked around for his shirt. When he found it he went down stairs hoping he could get his mind off Hermione for even a minute.

XxX

Harry went downstairs and heard something unusual, a pop and a whoosh as if someone were using...magic.

"Wow I must be losing my mind," Harry said scratching his head.

There he found Petunia with a wand doing magic. Harry could only stare at her, after he realized that he was staring for about 5min with his mouth hanging open he decided to talk.

"You're a witch?!" Harry almost shouted.

"Um...this isn't what it looks like" Petunia tried sounding as innocent as she could by shoving the wand into her apron.

"No, tell me. Are you a witch?" Harry said in a dangerously clam voice that made Petunia wince.

"Ok, I am-BUT you can't tell anyone I don't want them to know." Petunia said.

"Ok..but then why were you always talking about my mother being a freak?" Harry asked curiously.

"She...she was always better than me...in potions she'd always the potion perfect while I was always missed one ingredient. She always beat me, I was always second place to Lillian Evans."Petunia said.

"Oh..well that not good enough for me but I'll let it go right now, I won't tell anyone if you tell Uncle Vernon to do one thing for me. One thing that I want and he's got to do it no matter what." Harry said in a stern voice.

"Ok...if he doesn't I'll do it, whatever it is, just don't tell anyone about me being a witch." Petunia said, and with that she started to magically cook breakfast.

Harry looked at her and wondering if he should ask her about Hermione right now or not. He decided to put it off for another 10min or so. Until then he just helped his new found witch Aunt Petunia.

After he and Petunia made breakfast he decided to test the waters and tell them about Hermione.

"Aunt Petunia?"

"Yes, Harry?"

"Uh, I've got a..er..friend over. Can she stay for the rest of the summer?"

"A GIRL? Harry, I'm sorry but no. Your uncle would never allow that."

"Too bad. Remember you guys owe me one, so do it or I'll tell everyone." Harry said with a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"Fine...I'll tell him." Petunia said defeated.

XxX

Once everyone (excluding Hermione) were in the dining room when Petunia told him that Hermione was going to stay for the summer. Vernon for his part did exactly what Harry thought he would do. Yell until his face turned blue, Dudly just sat there watching TV like nothing was happening, Harry just smirked in his mind. At around 10AM everything finally settled down and Hermione came downstairs.

She wore a yellow tanktop and fitting jeans. Harry stood there avoiding her.

"Hey," She said getting into the room.

No answer.

"Harry?" she said snapping her fingers in front of his face.

"Huh, oh yea...erm fine I guess. Just a lot on my mind," he said trying not to make it too obvious.

"Oh, you mean about, well, last night?" She asked nervously.

"Yeah, actually about last night. I don't know what happened I mean, one minute you're telling me about how you got here and the next we're naked and having sex? 'Mione we are only 13," Harry said.

"I–I don't really know either, I just had the sudden urge to snog you senseless and than, things just escalated, I'm really sorry. We can just act as if nothing happened." Hermione said in an almost sad voice.

"No, it's okay. I mean it was only once, it's not like were going to do it everyday and get you pregnant at 13," Harry said trying to lighten the mood.

"Hah, yeah I can just imagine the headlines 'Potter father at 13? What do you think of the boy-who-lived now?'" Hermione said smiling. Harry laughed.

They spent the rest of the day playing games, avoiding the Dursley's and going on a random walk to the park. They spent the whole day just having fun and enjoying being best friends, forgetting what had happened just the night before.

Dumbledore's office...

The headmaster of Hogwarts witchcraft and wizardy sat in his chair, eating a lemon biscuit, looking at a mirror. It was no ordinary mirror, it was a special mirror that when you poured a potion on to it, it would glow every time the potion was at its strongest. On his mirror it would glow when Hermione began to lust after Harry, and it would glow extremely bright when she became pregnant. All a sudden the mirror started to glow with such intense light that Dumbledore had to shield his eyes. After the glow subsided he gave a very evil smile that would give Voldermort a run for his money.

"Perfect. Now all I've got to do is wait for them to have a huge fight, she will never talk to him again. He is left alone with Weasley and I'll kill Potter. Only a few months until I become the strongest and most famous wizard ever." Albus said smiling that evil smile of his.
