Right Next to You

NOTE: I don’t own Harry Potter, if I did I would pair Harry and Hermione together<3. I was inspired by “Next 2 You” by Chris Brown ft. Justin Bieber to write this one shot. Please excuse my grammar, but I do try to proof read it the best I can, I hope you enjoy and I’ll continue to create more.

            It was Christmas Eve; Harry wanted this year to be the best Christmas ever. He went to Diagon Alley in search for the perfect gift for Hermione. He saw the perfect gift right through the book store window.

            Harry checked his watch, and realized he was going to be late as he purchased her gift.

            “Crap!” he said to himself rushing to meet Hermione at the Forest of Dean

            Hermione just finished making Christmas Eve dinner and was hoping Harry would hurry up, before dinner got cold. She stepped out of the tent in search for Harry. No sign of him.

            Hermione took in a deep breath and closed her brown eyes as she remembered the time Harry stole her heart, in this very forest. As she opened her eyes, Harry was staring at her smiling.

            “Harry, just in time I just finished cooking.” she said, as she walked over to give him a passionate kiss.

            “Just a little last minute shopping, sorry.” Harry apologized.

            “Harry I thought we agreed to buy each other equal amount of gifts?” scolding him.

            “Sorry Hermione, but this gift I couldn’t refuse to buy it”, he explained.

            Hermione couldn’t stay mad at him, so she leaned forward to kiss his cheek and whispered in his ear, “Thank you”.

            Soon after dinner, Harry couldn’t wait, for Hermione to open her gifts.

            So Harry took her hand and suggested, “This year instead of waking up in the morning why don’t we open our presents at midnight?”

            “I can’t say no.”, she replied with a smile.

            To kill time Harry and Hermione talked, danced for a little while, and just enjoyed each other’s company.

            “Five minutes till midnight.” Hermione warned Harry to get ready.

            They sorted the gifts and told each other which ones they wanted them to open first and last.

            Harry looked at his watch and kissed Hermione.

            “Merry Christmas, Hermione.”

            “Merry Christmas, Harry.” she replied.

            Harry opened his presents first. He got Lighting Thief 4000 broom.

            “Hermione, how did you…” Harry said in total shock.

            “You were bloody staring at every time we go shopping.” she answered.

            Harry also got three tickets to watch the quidditch world cup. So he, Ron, and Hermione could watch it together like good old times. Photo album filled with pictures of him and Hermione to show how much she adored every moment she spends with him. Last, she got him a green sweater with the letter “H”, where she learned how to knit from Mrs. Weasley.

            “Thank you, Hermione I love it,” he thanked her with a hug.

            Now it was Hermione’s turned. She had received A Book of Useful Charms, which she had been waiting ages to get her hands on. Diamond earrings to match the bracelet Harry gave her on her birthday. A muggle movie, Notebook- she had wanted to watch with Harry, but was unable due to the reconstruction after the war. Cookbooks full of muggle recipes, since Harry knew she loved to cook, read, and learn something new.

            As she stood up to thank Harry with a kiss, Harry pulled out her last gift. It was a little book shaped like a tiny box. As she opened the cover she then saw a huge diamond ring cut into the pages of the book. She looked back at Harry, as he kneels down on one knee holding her free hand.

            “Hermione Jean Granger… You got a smile that heaven can only make. You are my dream. There is nothing I won’t do; I’ll give up my life for you. Everything that I have is yours. You already have my heart. I promise you, you’ll never go cold or hungry. I’ll be there when your insecure, let you know that you’re always lovely. Because you’re the only thing I have right now. Nothing will ever come between us; I’ll be standing right next to you. If you had my children you would make my life complete. One day when the sky is falling, I’ll be standing right next to you. We’re made for one another. Just me and you. I know we’ll make it through. Will you marry me?” Harry asked.

            Lost for words, Hermione heart was touched by every word he spoke. Her eyes all watery. She stared at those beautiful green emerald eyes. Nodding her head.

            “Yes.” She said softly.

            Harry placed the ring on her finger. Harry wrapped his hands on her lovely waist lifting her up spinning her in a circle letting her down gently. Holding her close by her waist, pressing her body on his. Kissing her with every drop of love he got.

            He said while looking at her beautiful brown eyes, “Thank you Hermione for the best Christmas Ever and making me the happiest man alive.”
