A/N- Ok here is the next chapter. Good news this is one of my favorite chapter that I'm just really proud of. Bad news it's the last chapter I have beta'd. I have a lot of this story written but not much beta'd. So I don't know when the next post will be so bear with me. Once I get the next few chapters back I'll post. On with the chapter.
Chapter 6
And everything changes
Harry woke the next morning to find Hermione still beside him with her head on his chest. He looked down to see if she was awake, carefully moved some hair and tucked it behind her ear. She was still asleep. Harry kissed her lightly on the top of her head and she opened her eyes and looked up at Harry.
"How did you sleep?"
"Fine since you got in the bed with me. You?"
"Oh fine. Harry do you think we could stay like this forever?"
Harry was taken back by what she just said. Was it possible that Hermione liked him back? He didn't know what to say. But then something inside of him told him to tell her the truth about it.
"Yeah I do."
Hermione looked up at him. It was what she was hoping he would say. She then pushed herself up and kissed Harry. Harry couldn't believe that Hermione was kissing him, but he put his hands on her waist and kissed back. Hermione's hair fell around them like a curtain putting them in their own little world away from everyone else. Hermione pulled away from Harry and stared into his eyes.
"We better get ready. My dad will be here soon."
"Yeah, okay."
Hermione got up, picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom to get ready. Harry watched her go then ran his hands through his hair, stopping half way through, and looking at the ceiling. Hermione had just kissed him and he kissed her back.
"Hey Harry, can you come here please?"
Harry got out of bed and walked out to the bathroom door where Hermione's head was sticking out. "You called?"
"Would it be okay if I used your toothbrush?"
"Oh yeah that's fine."
"Thanks."
Harry walked back to his room and put away the cot and picked out something to wear for the ride to Hermione's house. He had started to put the rest of his things in his trunk when he felt Hermione's arms around his waist.
"Bathroom is all yours."
"Great."
Harry walked slowly to the bathroom; he turned on the shower, took off his boxers and hopped in. After washing his hair Harry stepped out of the shower and grabbed two towels. He wrapped one around his waist and the other he threw on his head. Harry loved to take showers. It was the one thing that made him forget everything that was going on and he loved that feeling. He opened the door to the bathroom, threw the towel over his hair and started to shake it dry as he walked back to his room. Harry entered his room and shut the door with his foot like always. He stopped shaking his hair long enough to throw the towel around his waist to the floor, then went back to drying his hair.
"Ah Harry."
Harry stopped drying his hair and looked up to see Hermione sitting on his bed. She was staring at him with her mouth opened and her checks flushed. Harry quickly took the towel off his head and used it to cover himself. Harry then felt his face turn red.
"Sorry I forgot you were here."
"Oh thanks, I feel loved."
It was all Harry could do to stand there in the silence, and then Hermione spoke up.
"I didn't really see anything."
Harry could tell she was lying. Her face went from pink to red.
"Hermione, don't lie, you're as red as an apple."
"Well you've got nothing to be ashamed of." Hermione started to giggle though she didn't want to, but she couldn't help it. She just saw Harry Potter naked, one of her best friends and the Boy-Who-Lived.
"Oh just wait until I tell the girls at school that I saw Harry Potter naked." Hermione was now laughing so hard she fell over and Harry took that time to put on a pair of boxers.
"Oh no you wouldn't."
"And why not?"
Harry then walked over to Hermione and placed his hands on her knees and leaned in close to her face.
"Because you are one of my best friends and you would never do anything to hurt me. Plus, do you think the girls at our school will really believe that that is the real way you saw me naked?"
Hermione knew he was right and she hated it. But she couldn't help but notice how close Harry's face was to hers, how green his eyes were and how his breath was tickling her face. Hermione put her hands on Harry's face, started breathing heavier for some reason, and then leaned in and started to kiss him. Harry took his hands off Hermione's knees and placed them on either side of her thighs and Hermione took one hand off Harry's face and placed it on his side. Hermione lay down on the bed and pulled Harry down with her. Harry couldn't believe this was happening and neither could Hermione. Harry placed his hand on Hermione's waist and slid his hand under the bottom of her shirt. He then slid his hand up until he felt her ribs.
"Harry we should stop."
"Yeah we should."
But neither could. Harry moved his up hand up Hermione's side until he felt her bra. Hermione rolled and threw Harry on his back, then sat up and pulled off her shirt. Harry sat up with her and started kissing her again, and then he slipped his hands around her back to her bra clasp. He was getting ready to undo the clasp when they heard the doorbell ring.
"Oh my God Harry, that's my dad. We have to get dressed."
Hermione got up and put on her shirt, as Harry threw on a shirt and pants. He look over at Hermione who was now throwing his things into his trunk. Harry ran to the bathroom and got his things from there and threw them in the trunk.
"Harry, let Hedwig out so she can fly to my house."
"Okay, good thinking." Harry picked Hedwig up in her cage and carried her to the window.
"Hedwig, fly to Hermione's." Harry had to hit the cage a couple of times because Hedwig was asleep before she flew out. When Harry turn back around Hermione was closing the lid to his trunk.
"Here, I'll take the cage you take the trunk.'
Harry placed the cage on the floor and pick up his trunk and they headed to the stairs.
As they made their way down the stairs Harry could see Uncle Vernon talking to Mr. Granger. Harry knew this couldn't be good.
A/N- Ok I know it's going a little AU but I really like how it's going. And if anything it's only going to get more AU. Even though I don't think it's that bad. On just a side note, the towel part of this chapter actually happened to me and a friend of mine. When I had him read this he said he was going to kill me for telling. But no one will know it's him. I did change what happen with me though. My friend is gay so there was no snogging.
But I did think it fit in well with the story so I used it. So thanks again for all the reviews, I really do love reading almost most all of them, and I'll post again soon.
