Harry turned to lie on his stomach, took his pillow and pressed it on his head, so he couldn’t hear anymore. He hadn’t been able to sleep for nights. Thoughts about Voldemort, Dumbledores death and Ginny had invaded his head. A few weeks (Harry had lost his count) with the Dursleys and he once again wanted to blow this stupid house up. “He’s not opening…”, said a voice which sounded like Rons. ‘Great.’, thought Harry. ‘Hearing voices once again, are we Potter? Welcome to the world of crazy people...again...’ “Let me try…”, another voice said, and once again a knock. ‘Oh yeah… no Ron without Hermione I guess… I really need some sleep. My mind’s playing games…’ He pulled his pillow closer and pressed his face into his mattress. He heard a deep breath…. and then nearly fell of his bed. “HARRY JAMES POTTER! OPEN THIS DOOR IMMEDIATELY OR I’LL HAVE TO BLOW IT UP!” Said boy, totally shocked, didn’t want to believe his ears. Why were they here? He got off his bed and turned the key. Suddenly, weight was attached to his shoulders. Hermione Granger hugged her best friend and pulled him close. “Oh Harry! Are you okay? Sorry for yelling. I was just so worried about you! And angry because Ron is driving me nuts again. How are you feeling? Are you eating properly? We thought you were running away on your own!” A little smile crawled onto Harrys face and he patted her back. “I’m alright Hermione.” Ron came in and closed the door. “Hey mate. Where are your wonderful hosts?” Harry chuckled and also pulled Ron into a quick hug. “Somewhere out. They said Dudley looked a little skinny so they decided to eat somewhere.” Hermione took a close look around the room. Harry cloths where lying everywhere, newspapers and books were plastering the floor and Hedwig’s cage stood in the corner under the window. “I’m sorry. If I had known that you two would come it would be a lot cleaner. By the way what are you two doing here?” He still couldn’t believe it. His two best friends visited him. The two gave him a confused look. “Picking you up, what else?” OoOoOoOoO At midnight, they had left Harrys cage. He had been in such a trance the last few weeks, that he nearly forgot his birthday. It was true, coming off age was the best thing ever. Tonight there would be a great birthday party at the burrow for him, a lot of presents were already stuffed on his bed, but Harry didn’t have the time to open them. Hermione and Ron had convinced him to go swimming with him. Since it was once of the last peaceful days they would spend together before they were leaving on their journey, he only nodded and went to the bathroom to change into his swim trunks. Meanwhile Hermione also went to change to Ginnys room, and Ron who had already changes searched for some towels and something to eat, so they wouldn’t have to come back for lunch. Harry came down a few moments later, ready to go. But he didn’t enter the room before checking it. Ron sighed. “Ginny’s with Luna for a few days. Don’t worry.” A sigh of relieve, and Harry set down on a chair. “It’s not like I don’t want to see her you know? It’s just-“ Ron shook his head. “Don’t explain it to me, I don’t want to know. You have your reasons.” The redhead sat down next to him and sighed. “We never went swimming before you know? We know each other so long and there are so many things we never did together.” “You’re right.”, said a voice coming from the door. The first thing Ron saw were sandy-brown sandals. He slowly looked up, only to find a brown miniskirt and a yellow top. He had never seen Hermione wearing such an outfit. It looked great on her. She had a large bag with her and took the towels Ron had searched for to put them in. “Ready?”, she asked and left for the garden. Harry stood up and whispered. “You’re drooling.”, before following Hermione. Ron violently shook his head (wiped his mouth just to make sure) and followed his two best friends short after. Harry had already caught up with Hermione. Smirking, he put an arm around her shoulders. “Say Hermione… When are you going to tell him?” The girl shot him a confused look. “Tell who what?” He only pulled her closer and said. “When are you going to tell Ron that you fancy him.” Not wanting to let Harry see how red she was, Hermione turned her head. “I don’t know what you’re talking about Harry…” But of course she knew. It seemed like everybody knew…except the object of her desire of course. Harry, wanting to comfort his best friend, smiled. “Oh come on Hermione, don’t give me that. Did you think I wouldn’t notice?” She knew that he would keep on asking, so she looked around, only to find Ron way behind them. She sighed. “I don’t know Harry. It’s not like he’ll feel the same… or even notice me. And you know about that whole Lavender fiasco last year…” Ron began to run, so they had to stop their little conversation, but before he could hear them, Harry gave her a supporting clap on her shoulder. “You sure he doesn’t like you? And here I thought you were the smartest witch I knew. Pay attention.” OoOoOoOoOo Swimming, normally was an easy task for Ron, but not today. Not when a certain distraction named Hermione Granger was wearing such a cute brown bikini, decorated with an Hawaii-flower pattern in white. It was of course not showing too much, but it certainly stressed out that Hermione was indeed a girl…no woman . Harry took him by surprise and ducked his head again under the water. “Gotcha!” Ron came up to the surface again. “Don’t stare at her like that Ron. You’re being way too obvious you know?” Ron, with a shocked expression, looked back to Hermione. She was going out of the pound now, fetching a towel and dried her hair. “I don’t know what you mean.”, he mumbled and once again was ducked by Harry. ‘Honestly. How can the two of them be so blind?’, Harry thought and also decided that he had been in the water long enough for the moment. Ron followed. Hermione was sitting on a blanket under the big oak tree, drying her hair with her wand. She had a towel around her shoulders, but seeing that Harry approached, she quickly fetched her bag and closed it. ‘What’s up with her?’, he thought, but didn’t ask her. Taking a seat next to her, he grabbed a towel and searched for his glasses. “Here.”, said Hermione and gave him his glasses back. “Oh Ron! Sit next to me. We have to do the final touch.” Ron grinned, sitting next to her. “Final touch? Of what?”, asked Harry, confused. Hermione only grinned, opened her bag once again and fetched an instant camera. “Okay. I hope this works. We’re going to make a few photos Harry.” He only smiled. “Since when do you two like to make photo sessions? And with a muggle camera?” Hermione didn’t answer. She took the camera and stood up. The two boys were watching her. And then, without being warned, she took a photo of Ron and Harry. “HEY!”, Ron shouted, surprised about the flash of the camera. Hermione was pulling out the photo and laughed. “Oh it’s perfect!”, she said and showed it to her friends. Fortunately they weren’t looking that bad. “Give me that Hermione.”, Harry said and snatched the camera out of her hands, pulling her down into his lap. “Revenge!”, he yelled and took a photograph of him and his best friend. She had laughed, because Harry had tickled her. The photo looked kind of awkward, but it was just like a photo should be. Savouring a moment of joy. Hermione, collecting all her courage, asked Ron if he wanted to try to take a photo too. She sat down behind him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and smiled into the camera. Ron did his best not to blush. “Just push the little button Ron.”, she said and kept on smiling. It was actually a lot of fun, taking photos. Ron wondered why they weren’t moving and Hermione explained that it was like that because muggles didn’t know how to make them move. Finally they took a photo of all of them together, Hermione in the middle with Ron and Harry hugging her. “I think that’s the best one.”, she said after looking at the photo carefully. “What do you think Ron?” He only smiled and then nodded. “The perfect final touch I would say.” Harry, still confused, got a little angry. “Hey! I don’t like being left out you know?” Hermione giggled and once again reached for her bag. “Harry.”, she took a deep breath before pulling out what looked like an album to him. “Ron and I have been thinking a lot, because we didn’t know what to get you as a present. Then we thought of the photo album you have, with pictures of your parents in it, and Ron said that it is one of your treasures. So we…kind of made one of our own for you…” Ron smiled and took the album out of her hands. He knew that she was near tears. Why did girls get so emotional all the time? “Happy Birthday Harry.”, he said and gave the album to him. Harry slowly took the album and felt the green fabric in his hands. He didn’t dare to say a word. He opened the album and found a 2 little texts on the first page. Dear Harry, it said in Hermiones neat and beautiful handwriting. Happy Birthday! This is a little journey into our past, and I want you to know that these pictures show the most wonderful moments in my life, because I could spend them with you and Ron. I really hope you think so too. Whenever you feel sad, discouraged or just nostalgic, look into this album. It will make you feel better. Hope you never forget us. Love – Hermione… Harry was fighting back tears. ‘Great Potter. You’re supposed to be a man damnit! Don’t get emotional here.’ The next text was from Ron. Yo Mate. Harry had to chuckle. You know I’m not good in stuff like that. Feelings and things are to be discussed with girls. It was Hermiones idea to make a photo album for you, and I think it was a great idea. (But who am I kidding? all her ideas are great.) Well I just hope you like it and don’t cry over it or something. Just promise me to not forget about us okay? Happy Birthday – Ron… In the middle of these two texts, there was a picture of Ron and Hermione, and it seemed quite new. It was a magic-photo, and it seemed that they were bickering over who should take the photo. But once the picture noticed that someone looked at it, the two persons were winking and smiling at him. He turned the page and saw the words Our first year – our journey begins once again written in Hermiones handwriting, and right beside it, was a little spinning harp. Hermione had reached for her wand and tapped the little harp. It was spinning faster and faster, and suddenly a song was heard. It was a song Harry didn’t know, but he liked it. The first picture he saw was the troll. They had cut the picture out of the Daily Prophet. Once again a little text. The beginning of our friendship… There were a lot of magical pictures of Ron and Harry playing Chess, Hermione reading her books and so on. A photograph of the Gryffindor-rooms and everything they had seen in the past 6 years. The album went on with a lot of photos from Christmas-parties, Ron and Hermione constantly bickering, the Hogwarts Express, the photo of the Weasleys in Egypt, Hagrid and…Cedric, Sirius and Dumbledore. It was full of memories and songs they had heard together and reminded them of their time together. He got to the last pages, but they were empty. Harry went back to the last side with text. The days we will remember… “The final touch.”, said Hermione and put in some of the photos they had just made, and once again tipped on the little harp. A summer song was played. They all set there in silence, listening to the song, everybody with there own thoughts. Suddenly, Harry reached for Hermione and pulled her into a bone crushing hug. He was crying. “T-That’s the most wonderful thing…”, he couldn’t speak any further, but Ron and Hermione knew what he meant. She returned his hug. “I’m glad you like it.”, she said. “The last few pages are for the time after our little hunt.” Harry let go of Hermione and hugged Ron as well. “Thank you so much…”, he whispered and let go after a few moments. Just when he thought the two of them couldn’t see, he wiped away his tears. Ron didn’t know what to say, the silence was a little awkward. So he just stood up, ran for the pond and jumped right into it. Hermione sighed. “Honestly…We should go back! The party is staring soon.” She stood up and packed up her things. Harry, who was still in thought of what to do, smirked. He had an idea. The last pages in his photo album should be filled with photos of his two best friends being a couple. “Hermione, I’ll go ahead okay? I…want to be alone for a while, before the party starts.” The girl turned around and gave him a warm smile. “Okay…I’ll try to get Ron out of this pond.” And there she went. OoOoOoOoOoOo Harry had left and Hermione was now alone, standing on the quay, searching for Ron. She couldn’t see him. “Ron?! Come out! We have to go ba-AAAAAAH!” Suddenly a strong hand pulled her into the pond. Ron had appeared on the surface out of nowhere and took her by surprise. Gasping for air and totally shocked, Hermione swam to the surface. “RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY!” Ron had to shut his ears, because he was swimming right next to her. “I can hear you Hermione! Come on it was just a joke!” She smirked and ducked his head under water. ‘HAH! Serves him right.’ They had a little battle under water, forgetting about the party and that it was just the two of them. But all of a sudden, Hermione let out a scream and wrapped her arms around Rons neck, pressing against him in fear. Ron blushed at least 7 different shapes of red. Not knowing what to do with his hands, he just placed them on her waist. “W-what’s wrong Hermione?” Her voice was a little squeaky. “Something touched my leg! Eeeeeew! Something slimy touched my…” Then she seemed to notice the close proximity they were in. Ron could feel Hermiones wet swimsuit and her…’Oh my god…her breasts’ against his chest, their hearts beating fast. And then, out of instinct, Hermione kissed him. She didn’t want to waste time anymore. It wasn’t like first kissed normally were. She had kissed him with so much passion and need, and she felt only more encouraged when his lips were eagerly responding to hers. His hands were running circles on her back… They kissed just like they bickered. Nobody wanted to give in. And as we all know, the fights of Ron and Hermione can be very long…. OoOoOoOoOoOoO When they came to the party, they were way too late. Harry saw the slight shade of pink on Hermiones cheeks, but everyone else was looking onto their hands. They were walking their way, hand in hand, Ron had a really big smile on his face, while Hermione seemed to be a little embarrassed. The newfound couple stood still for a while, being watched by the crowd celebrating Harrys birthday. “Finally…”, they all sighed, and continued to talk with Harry. Rons smile only grew wider. “Told you they would react like that.” Hermione only smirked. “Oh shut up.” There was a flash of the instant camera, and Harry took out his photo album to fix a new picture into it. This is really a day to remember. OoOoOoOoOoOoO Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
