Disclaimer: As you know, I do not own Harry Potter. Disney owns the song or whatever you want to call it. It’s from the movie Pocahontas. That’s where I got this idea kinda. It doesn’t go with the movie or anything.

Summary: Picks up during 6th Year. Voldemort is gone. Will love flourish between Harry and Hermione or will it all come to an end?

Hermione Granger sat on the window seal, looking out to the Hogwarts grounds. She saw Harry and Ron down there playing quidditch. God how she hated flying. She was scared to death of it. There was only one thing that scared her even more… the fact that she had became so close with Harry. A slight breeze came across her face, it was as if the wind was whispering to her…

*~*Krah Krah na tu rah, you will understand.*~*

What would she understand? It was just so confusing. She got off the seal and walked out of the common room. She didn’t know where she was going to go, but she didn’t want to stay up there. She walked out to the gardens and sat down under a Cherry Blossom tree. “I didn’t know that they had Cherry Blossoms here…” She said aloud. “Yeah, they’re magical though so they won’t die.” a voice came from behind her. She turned around slowly and there he was…Harry…

*~*Listen with your heart. You will understand*~*

The wind picked up to a slow speed. The leaves and the blossoms swirled around them. She closed her eyes and sighed. If she listened with her heart, she would be in so much trouble. She didn’t want any more pain or hurt. She had just lost her parents in a car crash a few months ago. “Are you ok Hermione?” “Yeah, I’ll be ok I guess.” She stifled a cry. It was just too much. Harry came and put his arms around her. He layed his head on hers. She walked away from his arms. “You don’t want me Harry. I’m just a bookworm and a mudblood. What is there about me that is good?”

*~*Let it break upon you like a wave upon the sand.*~*

“Hermione, what is there about you I don’t love? And don’t talk about yourself like that.” He turned her around and looked deep into her chocolate-honey orbs. He kissed her deeply. “Hermione, you don’t you know long I have waited to do that. I love you and that’s never going to change, no matter what.” Harry kissed the tears that trailed down her soft, slightly blushed cheeks. “I love you too Harry. I just didn’t know what to think about it. I was so confused. I… I just… I was afraid. Why would someone like you, like or even love someone like me?” She sighed. Harry kissed her once again. He understood fully.

*~*Listen with your heart. You will understand.*~*

Hermione understanded perfectly. Your heart can’t help whom it loves. It’s just something that you feel when you’re around that person, when you cry to yourself wondering if they’re going to be ok. She was so scared when he fought Voldemort that one last time. She had been taken captive and held hostage. She was too blind then even to understand that he loved her then. In the end Harry came out on top. She was saved and that was the whole story. The world may have been safe, but her heart wasn’t.

She came back into the present day. She finally listened with her heart. She was in love. They walked back up to Gryffindor Tower and sat down. He played with her hair. “Can I braid it?” She blinked a couple of times. “That’s a switch. Everyone always wants me to do their hair.” He laughed some. “Ok, that’s a yes then.” He got up and ran up to his room, grabbing a comb. He sat back down and started to French braid her hair into pigtails. When he was finished, she looked so cute. He kissed her tenderly. She blushed. “Thanks.” “It looks great like that.” She laughed. This 6th year was going to be the best.

A Love Among Them

Chapter 2

By: *The Strawberryish One*

Disclaimer: Oh yeah, before I forget, JK’s chars belong to her and originals belong to me and my friends!

My Friend

My friend I hate to say this,

but our friendship just can’t last.

The time we’re shared together,

has fallen into the past.

I told you this would happen,

our friendship was bound to end.

Although I know you still care,

I don’t consider you a friend.

Please don’t try and argue,

but try to understand time changes people.

Our friendship has been lovely,

but you see it has to end.

For I look at you a different way,

I’m afraid I’ve fallen in love with you my friend.

Hermione looked about the Great Hall as she sat down to eat. Harry came and sat behind her, sliding his arm around he waist. They were officially a couple. He had asked her last night before she went to bed. She was so happy that he had asked her that she hadn’t slept a bit. She had guessed that the walls really had ears cause it seemed that this morning everyone knew, not that she minded, but people kept giving her dirty looks.

Harry has braided her hair again this morning and for once it wasn’t bushy. She laughed silently to herself. Professor Dumbledore stood up and looked about the hall. Everyone fell quiet as he clinked his spoon against his goblet. “As you know Halloween is at the end of this month and we will be having a ball. The head students and perfects will arrange it. That is all, you may go back to eating.” The hall was in an uproar of chaos over this ball. They were happy they were having one this year.

Harry looked down to Hermione and whispered something in her ear. “Will you go with me?” She rolled her eyes at him. “Of course, who else would I go with besides my boyfriend?” He laughed. “Ok, we’re planning it, so it’s got to be a blast.” Hermione nodded. “I’m going to go see when the meeting is. I’ll be back.” She got up from the Gryffindor table and walked over to the Ravenclaw table.

She saw Natalie Jacob, the Head Girl, and went over to her. “Hey Nat? When is the meeting going to be?” Natalie looked up at Hermione. “Ummm… let me see.” She looked through her bag for her planner. She opened it up and was looking through it. “Tomorrow morning. Hold on, I’ll make an announcement and then we need to talk.”

Natalie stood up on the chair and whistled loudly. Everyone fell silent and looked towards the head girl. “Ok, listen up. Sorry this is short notice but the meeting for the ball is tomorrow morning at 7:00 am sharp. If our meeting runs past 8:00, which is when classes start, then you will be excused. If not, then you will go to your classes. Thank you!” Natalie sat back down and pushed James Duncan, her boyfriend and head boy, down so Hermione could take a seat. James looked at her and grinned. Nat rolled her eyes.

“Why can’t guys ever be serious for once?” “Cause only Sirius can be serious.” She started laughing. (A/N: Sirius is in this story! He lives on!) Hermione sat down, “It’s truth and what do you want to talk about?” Nat had that evil/ devilish gleam in her eyes. “What’s going on between you and Harry?” Hermione blushed and told her the story. “Awww! That’s soooo romantic!” Hermione laughed again.

The bell rang much to their distaste. “We’ll have to talk some more later.” “Ok.” Hermione got up and walked back to the Gryffindor table to get her bag. Harry was holding it, waiting for her. Hermione took it throwing it over her shoulder. “Thanks.” “No problem.” He took her hand, laced their fingers, and walked to D.A.D.A together. Remus was their teacher again. They finally got over the fact that he was a werewolf.

2 hours later they walked out. Harry kissed her and they headed different ways, Hermione to Arithmancy and Harry to Divination. She had no idea why he still had that class. They all knew she was a fraud… Hermione rushed to Arithmancy cause it was almost on the other side of the castle. She could talk to Nat in this class too. It was one of the few classes that are mixed.

She sat down in her seat just as the bell rang. Professor Vector carried on as she started to talk to Natalie. “Herm?” “Yeah?” she asked. “How do you know if you’re in love?” Hermione looked at her and grinned. “Well… your heart flutters, your stomach in knots, it hurts you to be away from him, you’d do anything to be with him…” She listed a few other things. “Why?” “I think I’m in love with James.” “It took you this long to figure that out?” “Does everyone know but me?” Nat asked.

Hermione smiled. “Seems so. But you guys have been going out for like 2 years almost.” “Yeah I know.” They continued talking for the rest of the class. Most of the conversation was about Harry and Hermione or Natalie and James. Then the rest was about anything and everybody else. The bell rang once again and they walked down to lunch together. Nat took her place at Ravenclaw and Hermione took her place next to Harry at Gryffindor.

The rest of the day went by slowly as can be. By the end of classes they were all tired of teachers. That night before Hermione went up to go to bed, Harry slipped a necklace on her. It was silver with a cherry blossom. The words on it were ‘Harry and Hermione Forever.’ She kissed him tenderly. “Thanks.” “It’s true Hermione. It always will be.” She smiled and kissed her again. “Good night. I love you.” “Good night and I love you too.”

She walked up to her room. She was alone again this year so she had a dorm all to herself. She changed into her pajamas and sat on her bed. She looked out the window and saw the brightest and only star. She did something she hadn’t done since she was liitle, she wished upon it.

“Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I make tonight… I wish for everything to go right for a change. I wish for there to be a real forever between Harry and I.” She layed down and fell asleep, dreaming of Harry.

Dreaming of You: Selena

Late at night when all the world is sleeping

I stay up and think of you

And I wish on a star that somewhere you are

Thinking of me too

Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight

Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you ever see me

And I wonder if you know I'm there

If you looked in my eyes

Would you see what's inside?

Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close

But so far all I have are dreams of you

So I wait for the day

And the courage to say how much I love you

Yes I do!

I'll be dreaming of you tonight

Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Corazón {Sweetheart}

I can't stop dreaming of you

No puedo dejar de pensar en ti {I can’t stop thinking of you}

I can't stop dreaming

Cómo te necesito {How I need you}

I can't stop dreaming of you

Mi amor, cómo te extraño {My Love, how I miss you}

Late at night when all the world is sleeping

I stay up and think of you

And I still can't believe

That you came up to me and said "I love you"

I love you too!

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight

Till tomorrow and for all of my life

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room dreaming of you endlessly

Dreaming of you tonight

Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room

I'll be dreaming of you tonight

Endlessly

And I'll be holding you tight

Dreaming...with you...tonight!
