Chapter 03.
Harry stood up after opening his eyes and realising he was sitting in a comfortable chair in a place he had no knowledge about.
He was standing in a room, it was quite a big room, the walls were filled with paintings, a large table with several chairs and a couch was to his right, and to his left was a huge desk, filled with parchments and quills, "Quills?" Harry thought, "Where the hell am I?" the desk also had several candles on it in different colours and it was a very dark brownish colour desk.
Harry was in the middle of investigating the candles and quills on the desk when he heard a noise behind him and he spun around quickly and almost lost his stance.
"Hello Harry, nice to see you again" Hermione said as she walked slowly towards him.
Harry was frozen on the spot, all his senses was completely out of order, except his sense of hearing and seeing.
The reason for Harry's reactions towards his best friend, was not that she was with him in his dreams, or that she spoke to him, no the reason was that she was only wearing bra and knickers, black to be exact, nothing more. Harry could not stop looking at how the silky smooth cotton lay over her nicely curved breast and how they moved when she walked towards him, you could almost make out her nipples behind the blackness, and Harry's eyes slowly went further down to her navel, just the sight of that gave him a shrill up and down his spine and his breath came out in shallow puffs.
He then looked into her eyes.
They had a twinkle he had never seen there before and he could not do anything other than stare and stare and stare.
"Do you like what you see?" She asked him with a very sexy smile, while walking closer and closer and…
"Blulbblalidkuiha" Harry said as he woke up, sweat running slowly down his forehead.
"What's wrong Mr.? Are you okay?" the driver asked as he overtook another car on the freeway.
"Sorry sir, I…I…I just fell asleep and had a weird dream", Harry explained while his breath became slow and even again.
Harry's insides were in turmoil, the dream was still so vivid in his mind. He could still remember how her breasts slowly moved when she breathed and he could almost imagine how it would be like to touch them.
"STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!" He screamed to himself in his mind, "She is my best friend"
"What was happening here?" Harry thought, "This is something totally new and very weird, yeah that's the word for it, weird….weird…but at the same time exciting" He could not stop a small smile escape his lips
"This is not what I need right now" he muttered, as he took out a parcel describing the different places to spend the night in the area of London, and came upon a Motel just 2 streets away from Grimmauld Place.
Harry then realised in a flash that maybe going to a place used by the Order would be quite stupid since his mission was to escape them all, he balled his fist and hit himself on the side of his head in frustration.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid" He whispered with each blow to his head.
"Is something wrong Mr.?" The driver asked with a frown.
"Sorry sir, but I have changed my mind" Harry told the driver his new destination and said that he would pay the same amount, so the cabdriver did not care and drove on to this new place.
It was a very dark place, the lights from the street did not penetrate the motel grounds and the fixtures on the motel were very dirty, so the place was almost in complete darkness, Harry was standing at the check in counter waiting for some help, he pressed the counter clock but there was still no answer. He then decided to walk out to the still waiting cab to find a new place when a person spoke behind him.
"Good evening Sir, how may I help you?" A young girl inquired.
Harry jumped in surprise and that made the girl giggle a little.
"I'm sorry if I scared you Sir, but I was watching a program on the telly and…" She trailed off.
"It's okay, I'm fine. I was wondering if you have a room available tonight?" He asked, dumping his trunk on the floor.
Looking around the office he noticed several old paintings on the wall, muggle ones of course, since Harry had come to know the wizard world paintings, the muggle ones never were quite as interesting anymore and he continued examining the room. In the corner stood a water dispenser, the ones made in cheap plastic, it was empty and looked like it was a long time ago someone could come up and lighten their thirst. Harry looked up at the girl as she opened a ledger.
The girl began to look through it and smiled at him, "Yes sir, we have a room, it's up on the first floor, and the price for one night is twelve pounds" She said
Harry dug into his pocket and withdrew several notes from it, "Here you go, this should be enough for a while, right?" He asked her with a shy smile, "She is quite sweet this girl" He thought.
She looked at them and gasped.
"But sir, there's got to be over 600 pounds here!" She said.
"I know, as I said I plan to stay here for a long time" Harry said with a wink.
"Aaah, I see…" She said with a smile, "Someone is running away I guess?"
"Something like that" Harry smiled back at her, and they walked up to his room.
"Nr. 34, sir, there is a soda machine down the hall if you want something to drink" The girl told him as he entered the room, "And there is a Burger King Restaurant just down the road to the left, so eating should not be a problem, if you want something other than fast food I think we have a place that serves Italian food, but it is quite expensive." She gave Harry a cute smile and he could not stop returning it.
The room was a small one, but still larger than what he was used to at the Dursleys, the walls were very grey and boring but to Harry it was still an improvement, so his good mood did not go away and he even had a television, so the time here should not be too boring he hoped.
"I'm sorry miss, I never did ask you your name?" Harry said.
"The name is Mary, Mary Talden. And you are?" she asked.
"Harry Potter" He said as he looked intensely in her eyes.
She did not seem to recognise him, so he held out his hand to shake hers.
"Pleased to meet you" They both said at the same time. They looked at each other in surprise and then burst out laughing.
"This is weird" Harry thought, "I am having a great time with this girl, and I haven't even known her for more than 10 minutes".
Mary smiled at him and turned around to go.
Something in Harry just clicked, he could almost feel it and then he did something he had only done one time in his life, and that did not work out to well, but his thoughts were far from Cho at this moment.
"Wait" Harry said as he walked over to her, "Erh…maybe…I...mean"
He was actually sweating now and just one minute ago he did not feel this nervous, but damn it he would say it.
"Would you like to go out with me sometime? like I mean on a date?" He asked her and could feel his face heat up.
"Sure" She said and walking out and closing the door quietly.
"What the hell??" Harry said as he just stood there in complete shock, "Did she just say yes?" He thought with a growing smile.
And then it hit him, he had a date with a girl, a real date with a girl, a real, real date with a girl, a real, real, real date with a girl. Harry's mind was stuck in repeat mode as he thought about what had just happened, this was something new to him, sure he had kind of dated Cho this spring but that had been with serious complications and he had also been occupied with thoughts on what Hermione wanted to tell him at the that meeting he had with her later on, besides he was well and true over that girl.
This was different, this was a girl he had just met, they did not know each other, she did not know is history, she did not know how famous he was, or even the fact that he was a wizard
After unpacking all his belongings he was so tired that he just collapsed on the bed in his clothes and fell into a deep sleep.
