*AU* Hermione Granger graduates from Beauxbatons and returns to England. She is offered a job in the Ministry of Magic and accepts. While on assignment, she has the (mis)fortune of meeting James Potter and Sirius Black. After some poking and prodding, the two manage to introduce her to Harry, James' son, in hopes they will hit it off. Will sparks fly? Not if their significant others have any say about it! **contains L/J too**
REWRITE:: Every once in a while, there are certain events that happen in your life that don't make immediate sense. But after a while, you finally wake up and can clearly see exactly what it is you've been missing...and it makes your life even better.
Harry Potter and Hermione Granger are best friends and housemates...and each is in love with the other, while neither knows of the other's feelings. Will they finally admit it to each other and get together, or will Harry's ex-girlfriend get her way?
One morning Harry awakens to his best friends yelling at each other. He finds Hermione crying in her room and tries to comfort her the best way he knows how. Why was she crying? What happens along the way? And what, if any, revelations will be made in the aftermath?
*the very first HP fic I ever wrote*; decidedly AU; based on the Dixie Chicks song of the same name. Hermione meets Harry just before he leaves for 'boot camp'. Will their newly discovered emotions overcome the distance? **Please don’t dismiss this fic just because you dislike the artists who sing the song, or disagree with their comments. Give it a chance; it may surprise you.** REVISED 11/6/03
