Author Notes: Thanks to everyone who reviewed.
m4x- Peter Pan-ish? Well that was so not what I was going for. -_-'' Super…well at least you liked the prequel to it…just b/c Harry has a sprite, who happens to be his friend, doesn't mean that he's going to jump up in green tights and fly…well he will fly (on a broomstick) but that doesn't mean he's going to wear green tights!
Isabella Grace- Let me just start out by saying - I think you are the best reviewer in the world! You always know what to say to make me feel better from what some reviewers say!! And I swear you are in my mind! You know that? I'm glad you like Spree but don't worry I won't let Harry forget about 'Mione! This chapter should be to you're liking!!
moonlight and midnight- I'm working on the Harry/ Hermione thing! This chapter is going to be a bit of a romantic chapter okay?? I hope that it makes up for the lack of H/H in the last chapter
thefly- Updating as requested^^.
Hermione Alanna Granger- Lol^^ Yay another Spree liker!! I'm glad!!
Canadian Crow- reminds you of someone you know? Well that's good^^.
Angel- I wouldn't forget my favourite couple THAT easily!!! Don't worry H/H is coming back!
Ducksrule- Not withdrawal!!! Don't worry! I have the remedy RIGHT here! This has got to be one of the FLUFFIEST things I've written!! So take a deep breath and read on.
Leah- A real H/H shipper huh? Me too^^ but I have to admit I do read other stories too but I'm a H/H through and through.
elf-princess- Everyone's entitled to their own opinion…but why do you think that spree only being seen by Harry is making the story insane?? I won't hurt you…I just want to know because I want to make the story better…
HrryPttrFreak87- I'm glad you're enjoying it^^
Alright well then. That's that for reviewers. I have to admit the 'comments' that I got before for the last chapter were a bit...well disconcerting. But I decided that people are entitled to their own comments and I'm just going to try and make it work for everyone.

Chapter 2
Dedicated to Isabella Grace
For being the best reviewer ever!!
Harry stretched and looked over at Hermione who was sitting across the table.
"Something wrong Harry?" Hermione asked, looking up and seeing her staring at him.
Harry's eyes seemed to be locked firmly on her lips, they were drawing him towards her and he certainly wasn't going to object. He leaned closer to her, stretching over the table.
"Harry what-" Hermione was cut off as his lips found the target. Her eyes fluttered shut and she returned the kiss.
"Aw get a room." Ron said, laughing at them.
Harry was practically climbing over the table to get to Hermione. Ron snorted and gave Harry a shove forward, which sent him sprawling and made him break the kiss.
Harry, blushing a little, drew back. Hermione laughed at the look on his face, "Well that was a little unexpected." she said.
Harry bit his lip as he sat back down in his seat, "It shouldn't be." he said finally, "We've been together for a while now...and I don't know I just feel like we haven't really had much time together lately."
Hermione nodded, "Yeah I know how you feel...but I mean, I understand. You've been so busy lately and of course you're studies come first!"
Ron shut his book with a bang, "How can anyone study so late at night?" Ron sighed.
Hermione gave him a stern look, "Ron! It's only 10pm. You can't possibly mean it that! We've got that potions exam tomorrow and you've hardly studied."
Ron sighed loudly and shook his head, "No I can't do it. I'll study tomorrow before school...this isn't getting me anywhere. I'm not going to remember any of this tomorrow anyway."
Hermione gave him a look that would have rivaled Professor McGonagalls glare, "Well if you're not even going to try I don't know why I bother! Are you going too Harry?" she asked, glaring at Harry now.
"Er...no not yet. I'm not really all that tired yet." Harry said.
Hermione gave him a bright smile, "Night Ron." she said cheerfully, looking back down at her book.
Ron shrugged at Harry, "Alright then. Night guys. See you later Harry."
"So Harry have you studied much for Potions?" Hermione asked casually.
Harry smiled, "Well...not really no. Not yet anyway. I was about to do that now."
"Harry! Harry!" Someone said.
Harry turned to look around, but seeing no one he raised an eyebrow and breathed, "Spree?"
Hermione stood up, "I'll be right back. I left a book I need for reference upstairs." she said.
Harry nodded, and when she was out of sight said again, "Spree?"
"Harry!" Spree said appearing suddenly beside him, slightly out of breath, "Sorry I've been gone for so long! There was this thing going on at home...ANYWAY I'm reaaaaaaaally sorry." she said.
Harry smiled, "That's alright."
Spree flopped down in a pile beside his quill, "Phew! I didn't realise how fast time had gone. It seemed really short and then I realised how long I was gone and I thought you might worry."
Harry bit his lip, "I was a little worried." he admitted, "But that's alright now."
Spree sat up, "So! Have you asked her yet?"
Harry shook his head and looked to where he could hear Hermione coming downstairs, "No I was just going to."
"I'll leave you two alone." Spree said, winking and disappearing quickly.
"Got it!" Hermione said, plomping down again, "Nearly woke Ginny up though. And you know how she gets if you wake her up!"
They laughed at this. Ginny was well known for her lack of tolerance to anyone who woke her up before 7am or after she fell asleep at night. Anyone who dared to usually didn't walk away in one piece.
"I tripped over something on the floor and went crashing into the door." Hermione explained.
Harry grinned, "Hey I was wondering...do you want to go and sit outside for a little while. Just on the balcony I mean. I could use a bit of a break." he said.
Hermione nodded, "Okay."
Harry stood up and extended his hand to her, blushing a little Hermione took it and he gently guided her around the table to him. Harry pulled her towards the door leading to the balcony, not letting go of her hand.
"It's so beautiful tonight." Hermione breathed happily, looking up at the stars which seemed to be glowing brightly tonight.
Harry nodded, but his attention wasn't on the sky or the stars. but was fixed firmly on Hermione's eyes, "Hermione..." Harry said taking her other hand in his grasp as well and pulling her to face him.
"Yes?" she asked, her voice quiet and light, with a touch of excitement.
"Hermione you are the most beautiful person I know. Everyday your beauty astounds me and everyday I love you more. I keep thinking that when I wake up that my love for you will just stop growing and everyday it amazes me that I love you more." Harry said, resting his forehead against hers.
Hermione felt her eyes filling a little, not with sadness but with happiness, "Harry I-" she started but was quieted by Harry placing his hand over her mouth.
"I'm not finished love. There's a reason for this talk of ours. I feel like you've known me forever. You know almost everything there is to know about me."
"I should think so. I'm your best friend!" Hermione interrupted.
Harry smiled, "And so much more. There are only a few things that you don't know about me and I'd tell you every one of them except now is not the time. But what it is the time for is...Hermione...I know a lot of people think we're too young for this...and I know that I'm not ready for more than what we have but...but everyday I can't help but feel even more under your spell...and I want to give you this." Harry said pulling a small box out of his pocket.
Hermione gave him an inquisitive look and gasped as she opened it. Inside was a small gold bracelet, each little link was in the shape of a heart and at the top was a large heart that had 'Together Forever' written in cursive through it.
"Hermione...this bracelet I want it to symbolise our love for each other. For my love for you...we're far too young to be engaged or anything of that sort...but I know, deep down, that we'll be together forever and nothing will ever change that." Harry said, his voice serious and his eyes brimming with raw emotion.
"Harry it's gorgeous!" Hermione said, "I love it. And I love you."
Harry smiled and gently closed the clasp of the bracelet, letting it rest against her wrist, "And I love you." he said, "We haven't spent nearly enough time together and it's killing me. I want to be with you forever."
Harry gently moved his head down to place a soft kiss on her lips which Hermione, wrapping her arms around his neck, returned. A whistle coming from behind them made them draw back blushing. Pressed up against the glass doors to the balcony was Seamus, Dean, Ron, Neville, Lavender, Parvati and numerous other Gryffindors, save Ginny as no one wanted to wake her up.
Harry and Hermione both blushed but just smiled and kept their arms wrapped around each other.
"Were you there the whole time?" Harry asked, a little more than embarrassed at getting caught just when he was sharing his emotions.
"The WHOLE time." Ron said with a wink.
Hermione blushed and gently turned so Harry's arms went around her waist. Harry smiled and gently put a kiss on the top of her head.
"And here I was thinking you just wanted me to get a good sleep." Ron teased, "But you just wanted to get rid of me!"
Everyone laughed at Harry's expression of confusion and embarrassment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So it all went well then?" Spree asked.
Harry nodded, "It was perfect...until the others showed up. That was so embarrassing."
Spree giggled, "It sounds funny!"
Harry made a face, "So when can I tell Hermione about you?" he asked.
Spree hesitated, "Are you sure she'll believe you? Because I can only been seen if she believes." she said.
Harry nodded, "She will!"
Spree sighed, "If you really want to tell her it's up to you. She'll be able to see me from then on though and that means I can't help you with your homework anymore."
Harry smiled and put his hands behind his head, "Ah that's alright. You haven't really been doing it anymore just giving me helpful hints."
Spree nodded, "But I won't be able to do that. You know Hermione wouldn't approve."
Harry nodded, "That's a sacrifice I'll have to make," he said, over dramatically.
Spree shook her head in amusement, "Oh go to sleep lover boy," she said, pulling out her nail file.
"Do you carry that with you EVERYWHERE?" Harry asked watching her.
"Of course." Spree said.
Harry shook his head, "I don't understand why."
"And you never will because your a BOY."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey there." Hermione said smiling at Harry as he came down the stairs.
"G-morning honey." Harry said, rubbing sleep from his eyes.
"So what have you got planned for today?" Hermione asked, resting her head on her hands.
Harry yawned and sat down beside her planting a kiss on her cheek, "Oh well...um...I thought I'd try and do some more of my DADA assignment...it's a killer. And then I thought, if you weren't too busy, maybe we could go for a picnic?" Harry asked.
Hermione smiled, "I'd love that."
"Sucking up to her again?" Ron teased from his seat across the room, looking a little tired himself.
"I don't need to suck up." Harry said, cheekily, "I'm on cloud nine."
Ron rolled his eyes and many of the girls in the room awed loudly.
Hermione blushed slightly and gave him a small kiss on the lips, "You are so sweet." she said.
Harry smiled, as he noticed that the bracelet was still fixed around her wrist.
"I'll never take it off," she said, noting where his gaze was.
Harry smiled and gave her another kiss.
"It's too early for this!" Ron moaned throwing a cushion at them.
Harry laughed and gave Hermione another peck before standing up and saying, "Well I'm going to go have a short shower and then I guess I'll get stuck into that assignment...can't wait."
Hermione laughed and waved him away, "Go on then. I'll catch you later."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry let out a sigh as the hot water flowed over his body. Three guesses who his thoughts were on.
'Hermione...' Harry thought as he turned off the shower and grabbed his towel, which was hanging from a hook outside the shower and quickly wrapped it around his waist.
Harry shook his head, and watched with a little amusement as water went flying and splashed the mirror ("Watch it!")
Harry went up to the mirror and surveyed his hair as he quickly ran a comb through it in an attempt to get it to lie a little flatter.
"I've watched you try this everyday for years dear." The mirror said, it's voice amused, "And it never works."
Harry laughed, "I can still try can't I?" he asked as he gave up and got dressed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright so I decided on what two creatures I'm doing." Harry said sitting down beside Hermione.
"You mean you hadn't decided yet?" Hermione asked, her voice a little shrill.
Harry bit his lip, "Well...I couldn't decide. And I finally decided last night." he said.
Hermione sighed loudly, "Well what did you decide on then?"
Harry sat back in his chair, "I decided I'd do phoenixes and dragons." he said.
"Wow Harry...they're complicated. But I have to admit they're good. What's the connection you're using?" Hermione asked.
"They both can fly." Harry said a little sheepishly.
Hermione laughed loudly, "I'm sure you'll find SOMETHING more connectable than that but for now I guess it's good enough."
Harry winked at her, "Well I think I'll go grab some books on phoenixes and start collecting information on them."
Hermione gave patted his hand, "I'm sure it'll turn out great." she said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So Hermione are we still up for that picnic?" Harry asked a couple of hours later.
Hermione nodded, "Of course. If you still want to have one that is." she added.
"Of course I do love. I get to spend time with you and that's enough for me." Harry said nuzzling her neck a little.
Hermione giggled, "You're the sweetest person ever." She said.
Harry smiled and kissed her softly on the lips, "Only around you." he said, "I love you."
