3.- Good Morning In the Morning

Don't stop looking for love
It can be found
In the strangest places
Just when you've given up
Along comes a miracle
That turns your life around
So don't stop, looking for love

Don't stop looking for love

Boyzone

The next morning Harry woke up to the noise of someone trying to floo into the house but he was too sleepy to answer. So he let the WAM pick up the call for him.

Slowly he noticed three things: the first being that his head felt like it was about to split in two pieces… or more; the second was that he was naked under the sheets and last but not least that he was not alone in his bed.

Her brown hair was splayed over his chest covering her face, so he was unsure who this unexpected guest was. The last thing that he could remember was taking Hermione to an Irish Pub. He and Hermione had a great deal to drink, which resulted in the thumping headache he was now sporting. Which drove him to the next question, who is this girl and where is Hermione?

'Hermione is going to kill me. What if I left her alone and drunk at the pub?' Harry panicked as he started to move.

She noticed three things when she woke up the next morning: the first being that her head felt like it was about to split in two pieces… or more; the second was that she was naked under the sheets and last but not least that she was not in her own bed.

She didn't dare open her eyes afraid look at the man whose chest she was using as a pillow.

While Harry started to move she opened her mouth and said, "Don't please…"

"Oh my gods, Minnie?! What are you doing naked in my bed?" he asked stopping his movement

"Ohhh, don't yell at me, 'Arry. I don't know. I can't remember a thing," she sobbed holding her head, "It hurts."

Harry sat on the edge of the bed trying to avert his eyes from her naked body. "Listen, let's start this morning as civilized people," he paused, "we'll take a shower and then eat something. Later we'll figure out… all … this … stuff…what happened."

Ugh! Harry what have you done to me? I'm used to being the logical one. You are supposed to be the one who acts without thinking."

He smiled at her, "Okay. You take your shower first."

She kissed him on the cheek and made her way to the bathroom rubbing at her throbbing temple. "Thank you, Harry."

"Yeah. Thank me later after breakfast. I'm going to listen to the WAM and put the mail on the table." He thought that they were acting like a married couple and not just friends sharing a flat. Sleeping together, waking up naked and beside each other in the morning, and doing house work…

When Harry entered in the dinning room he saw that the WAM was almost on fire. He pressed the rewind key and as the WAM rewound he went to check the mail. There were a many letters, the Daily Prophet, The Quibbler and the Hogwarts Daily Ex-Press. The later was the new school newspaper being worked on by some of the fourth and sixth year students at Hogwarts. It mainly contained articles about teachers, classes, and Quidditch with the occasional report on Hogwarts alumni. The paper also carried a problems page initiated by Harry and Hermione about two years ago of which they were co-editors.

"This is Harry Potter's and Hermione Granger's WAM speaking. We are not at home just now or we are unable to answer at the minute. You know what to do - beep."

It wasn't original but they left it like that after testing it. The funny part was that Hermione said Harry's name and vice versa.

Molly Weasley's voice: "Harry? Are you there? Oh darn, I guess you are not! Please floo me back when you listen this message."

'Yeah. I'll get right on that' Harry thought sarcastically.

Emma Granger's voice: "Darling? I hate this damn Floo Network. I feel like my head is going to abandon my body; but it's the only way to contact to you. If you aren't at home, where have you gone? Your father and I are so worried, sweetie. We are leaving Grimmauld Place this afternoon and we are heading home. Please contact us luv, let us know you're all right or just apparate home I'll be waiting for you with a bowl of chocolate ice cream. I almost forgot, tell Harry I said hi and thank him for taking care of you. Bye."

Harry smiled; Dr. Granger was always so polite.

The next ten messages were hang-ups. Maybe they were from Molly too?

Harry's very, very drunk and incoherent voice: "Hi you two. Well, better WE two -I'm going to do it."

Harry didn't remember leaving this message. 'What was I going to do?'

Minerva McGonagall's very angry and demanding voice: "You two come to Hogwarts right now!"

George Weasley's voice: "You two are the best."

Fred Weasley's voice: "And they call us pranksters." (laughter)

Molly Weasley's voice (crying): "Poor little thing…you must have been so upset to do what you have done."

"What is going on?" Harry whispered to himself thoroughly confused.

"Harry!!" Hermione screamed.

"Coming!!" he answered.
