Harry was
awoken due to a prodding of his shoulder. �Go away. Need to sleep.� The
prodding continued and with a grunt Harry reached out for his glasses, finding a hand instead. Opening his eyes he found
himself looking into Hermione�s beautiful cinnamon eyes. He smiled sleepily and
mouthed, �Morning love. Hermione
blushed slightly before placing his glasses on his face. It was then he
realized that there were others in the room, and Harry looked up finding a
banner above his head saying, Happy
Birthday Harry.

Harry�s face was tinged slightly
pink, but instead of stammering he decided to do something a little bold and
pulled Hermione into his lap and the two shared another heated kiss. When they
came up for air Hermione was as red as he had ever seen her, and he just pulled
her closer as the others in the room either chuckled or went as red as her.
Then, the twins plopped the cake, candles lit, in front of him. Harry couldn�t
help the tears rolling down his face as the group broken into a somewhat out of
tuned Birthday song.

When the song ended everyone looked
to find Hermione holding an overly emotional
Harry. �T-Thank you.� Everyone around him was looking at him with
such concern that he started to laugh.
�Sorry,� he said looking up at them, �it�s just that I�ve never had a birthday
party before.� The expressions ranged from understanding, to shock, and, from
Hermione, rage. He pulled her closer to him and whispered, �it�s
all right �Mione. Don�t think of them,� before kissing on the cheek. She shook
herself and nodded leaning back into Harry, relaxing.

Harry looked around at those that
had gathered. He saw Ron, Luna, Bill, Charley, Fred, George, Percy, Ginny,
Draco, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley of course, but there also was Remus, Tonks, Moody,
Professor McGonagall, and, his blood temperature dropped a few degrees,
Professor Dumbledore. Harry had never quite forgiven Dumbledore for what he
went through fifth year and for not telling him of the prophecy. Professor
Snape, to the surprise of most of those there, was present and even had a gift.
It was then Harry remembered when he had, rather forcefully, changed Snape�s
attitude toward him.

Flashback

Harry got off the ground for, surprisingly, the second time that night.
�You�ll have to do better than that Potter; especially if you ever hope to face
the Dark Lord again.� Harry gave him a venomous glare before smirking, an
intriguing idea coming into his mind. �Alright on three Potter one�two�three�Liglimens!�

Once again Harry�s memories were
racing past him, but even as Snape seemed about to release and berate him Harry
latched onto the wizard�s mind. Harry began force feeding Snape his very worst
memories, and to his satisfaction Snape�s face was tinged with green. Snape
tried to disengage his mind from Harry but to
no effect as more images of punching sessions, being locked in the cupboard
under the stairs, beatings, Harry�s emotion as the kids around him had made fun
of his clothing and broken glasses went through his mind, etc. Finally, Harry
released Snape�s mind, but not before conjuring a bin. The potions master
promptly emptied himself into said bin.

Once he had regained his composure
he looked over at Harry. For once his look was not hateful of loathsome but
empathetic. �It seems that you and I had more in common than I thought
Pot-Harry. I�m sorry that I judged you so harshly and for the way that I have
treated you. Can you forgive me for acting like an overgrown child rather than
a teacher?�

Harry was to shaken by what Snape
had just said to say anything and just nodded his head.

(A/N: Just so you know there is implied as well as admitted
child abuse in this flashback, but I will not state anything more for my own
mental health. I absolutely hate the thought of child abuse. I have a low
tolerance for anything remotely like abuse, rape, and the like on how much it
takes to piss me off. Please use your imagination to come up with you own
thoughts on what else those bastards did to him.)

End Flashback

�

From that day on Snape did his best
to be more civil with Harry. Harry in turn made sure that he and his friends
treated him with respect. Eventually, the two had formed an uneasy friendship.

As Harry blew out the candles only
one wish was on his mind. I wish that I
will survive this war to give Hermione the future she deserves.

Then, for once, he was showered
with gifts. Ron and Luna had gotten him a book on defensive spells, the twins
some of the �safer� merchandise from their store, and Draco and Ginny gave him
a book on wandless magic. Both Remus and Professor McGonagall
dropped their presents next to him saying to open them later. Professor Snape
gave him a book on healing Potions saying that with what�s a head they will
come in handy. The rest of the Weasleys gave him an assortment of different
outfits saying it was about time he stopped wearing what that overgrown oaf
outgrew. Professor Dumbledore gave him a book on healing spells. Still the gift
Hermione gave him was the one he found most endearing. While the others gave
him things to help him with his future, or to play pranks, she gave him
something simple and wonderful. It was a simple locket with a wizard picture of
the three of them taken in their sixth year on one side and a spot free for
another photo.

Immediately, he reached into his
pocket and pulled out his picture of Hermione, ignoring the surprised and
amused looks of those gathered, he shrank it to fit and placed it in the
locket. As he placed the chain about his neck he looked into Hermione�s
surprised face and said. �What? I told you that I struggling with my feelings
for a while and, well, I have the picture because I wanted to always have you
near me.� To this she leaned against his giving him a grateful look before
kissing his cheek. For once Ron kept quiet but felt a thumb cross under his eyes.
He looked over at his girlfriend, Luna, and saw that she had been wiping the
stray tear from his eyes. His having the �emotional range of a teaspoon� long
since gone, he seemed to have contracted a bad case of foot in mouth disease.

When Mrs. Weasley had asked if they
should continue the celebration down stairs everyone readily agreed. Harry
asked Hermione to remain with him for a moment. He began rummaging through his
trunk for some clothes and found a neatly wrapped package. �Bullocks!�

�You kiss me with that mouth do you Potter?� Hermione asked him in a shocked
tone while her eyes laughed at him.

�Sorry love, I just realized that I
forgot to send Neville his present.� He replied and watched her eyebrow arch in
a way that would have made Leonard Nimoy proud.
�Today�s his birthday too remember?� As the realization struck her she suddenly
enveloped him in a hug. �Uff, what was that for, not
that I mind or anything.�

�It�s for just being you.�

�Well I guess I�ll have to be me
more often. Hey,� said Harry as she playfully smacked his arm. �Love, will you
come with me to send this off?� She nodded and, after he was dressed, followed
him to the attic. �Hedwig where are you?� queried Harry toward the rafters, and
a beautiful snowy owl swooped down, landed on his shoulder and nipped his ear
affectionately. �Hi girl, will you do me a favor?� Hedwig just gave him a look
that said what do you think?

Harry just chuckled before asking,
�Can you take this to Neville for me?� She hooted, nipped him again and, as soon
as he finished tying the package to her, took flight to Neville�s home.

Draping an arm about Hermione�s
waist, Harry and Hermione set off to the kitchens. �What took you two so long?�
asked Ron as everyone looked at the couple.

�Sorry everyone, but I just
remembered that I forgot to send Neville his gift,� then, to their skeptical
looks, he said. �Before you go forming your own theories notice that neither of
us looks disheveled or heated in any way.� Hermione blushed, as most of the
others gaped or mimicked Hermione at what he had just said. The twins on the
other hand were rolling on the floor laughing their asses off. �Oh bloody hell
that came out wrong!� Harry stated simply still not blushing at this. The party
continued with further incident and for Harry it was one of the best days of
his life. It was just over his first trip to Hogwarts and way below Hermione�s
response to when he told her how he felt.

�

�Harry, where the heck have you
gone off to?� questioned one irate Hermione Granger. �You should be working on
your summer homework.� She had searched every room she could think of him
staying in, but she had, thus far, only found Ginny with Draco and a slightly
bemused Ron and Luna. Finally, she opened the door to the Black family�s
library. To her amazement she found him sitting there with his nose in a book,
no less.

As soon as he saw her he closed and
hid the book. �Hi �Mione, what are you doing here?�

She gave him an intense stare
before replying, �I was looking for you to see if you needed any help on your
summer homework. I really didn�t expect to find you here and reading a book no
less. Would you mind telling me what that book was?�

The look she gave him took his
breath away and he, pulling the book from behind his back, replied, �Sorry love, you�ll have to help Ron with his, mine�s done.�
She raised an eyebrow skeptically and Harry chuckled
saying, �I�m not lying, you seemed to have
just gotten through this thick skull of mine. As for the book, come over here
and I�ll show you.� Hermione settled herself, happily, on his lap and he gently
place the book on her�s. The
book was Teaching with the Brain in Mind by Eric Jensen.

She gave him a disbelieving look
and he just shrugged. �I�ve decided that when this war is over I really don�t
want to work as an Auror. Ever since fifth year I�ve wondered if I should
teach. I already consider Hogwarts my home,� mostly because you�re there, he wanted to add but continued by
stating, �and I just want to make sure that the students that graduate after us
will have better teacher�s than Quirrel and Umbitch,
sorry �Mione just my temper flaring. Most importantly though there are two
reasons that I want to teach. First off, I enjoyed teaching the D.A. fifth year
and was so proud of their accomplishments. Then, there is the fact that my
schedule won�t be so erratic as to keep me from the woman I love.� As he said
this he pulled her closer. I wonder if
there are any teaching books on DADA in Diagon alley. I guess I�ll find out
tomorrow.

�

�Hey Hermione, Harry hurry up we�re
about to leave.� called Ron from the living room. Harry and Hermione came
bounding, hands clasped, down the stairs. In the living room stood Ron, Luna,
Ginny, Draco, Mrs. Weasley, Moody, and Lupin.

When the arrived to find everyone
in front of the fireplace Harry let out a groan and placed his glass safely
into one of his pockets. Hermione just laughed at his expression, and he gave
her a mock glare in return. �Let�s get this over with.� he said while the other
gave him a strange look. �Before you say it I may have passed the appearation
test but Hermione can�t appearate yet so I won�t.� he merely took a pinch of
the powder threw it into the flames and said �Diagon Alley� before disappearing
into the flames.

�Hermione he�s got it bad for you!�
stated Ron simply.

�Not half as bad as I for him,� she
replied grinning.

�

When they had all arrived in the
Leaky Cauldron Harry led, with Hermione by his side, the procession into Diagon
Alley. He could feel the stares that not only he and Hermione but also Draco
and Ginny were receiving. He leaned over and whispered, �Do you trust me my
love?�

She looked at him curiously before
replying, �with my life and my heart, why?�

�Because I want to know if you mind
making our relationship a bit public,� he answered. Seeing her eyes widen a
little in fear, a little in shock, but mostly in surprise he said, �It�s your
choice but I�m tired of the stories the papers release and more so of the
incorrect info. So, if you don�t mind, I would like to give these people
something to stare at besides my scar.� When she nodded telling him she was
willing he placed his lips firmly on hers. Without �meaning� to they had caused
the shoppers to halt and stare less shiftily at them, more than one mouth
dropping in astonishment.

The two easily got lost in the
other, ignoring those around them. It took Remus tapping their shoulders and
saying �Harry I think you accomplished your goal, whatever it was,� to break
the trance. Hermione blush a light pink as Harry laughed at the disruption they
had caused. The group continued on with their shopping. Ron and Ginny had
received brand new text books as well as brand new robes. While not as wealthy
as Harry or the Malfoys nobody would be calling them poor, again, anytime soon.

Ron even made the comment that new
robes were not all they were cracked up to be. �Honestly guys, they don�t have
that well worn feeling that my old robes do. Although, they
do fit better.� The group divided as they set off to buy their new dress
robes so that the members of the opposite gender could be surprised at what
they were going to wear. Draco�s robes were black trimmed in silver; Ron�s were
a deep fiery red trimmed in, much to Ron�s disgust, maroon. Harry�s robes were
emerald green trimmed in gold.

Harry then said that he had
something he needed to do and asked Remus to come with him. Remus bemusedly
agreed and the two disappeared into the crowd. �Sorry Remus it�s just that I
needed to do something and knew that Moody wouldn�t have respected my privacy.�
At the look Remus gave him said, �Well this is a rather private thing that I
needed to do and I knew that you of all people would respect that.� Remus still
looked skeptical but nodded his head just the same. �Remus it�s just a private
matter that will reveal itself soon. It�s not dangerous if that�s what you�re
worried about or at least I hope it isn�t.� He suddenly looked frightened of
something, as if he were going to face a thousand Dementors.

The two stopped in front of what
appeared to be a small jewelry store and Harry stepped inside looking around.
Remus, so as not to intrude on Harry�s privacy, looked at the shop across the
street. After what seemed like hours, it had actually only been thirty minutes,
Harry emerged with a few bundles in his hands. He gave Harry a question glance
to which Harry replied with his own look that said you�ll find out later.

They made their way back to the
group at which point all the other teens began to pester him about the packages
he was carrying. He was not being liberal with this information and they kept
bothering him until a voice questioned, �Lost your way have you Potter?�

Harry whirled around and found
himself looking at a Death Eater�s mask, several of them in fact. �Ah Lucius Malfoy I wondered when you would finally break free
of Azkaban. Two years without the Dementors guarding
it I�m disappointed.� Harry�s voice oozed sarcasm as he practically spat the
words.

�Now, now Potter you say your
disappoint but you�re the one with the Mudb-� A
sickening crack was heard as the Death Eater�s legs shattered, and Lucius Malfoy ended up face down on the ground screaming in
agony.

Harry�s wand was now in his hand,
his eyes burning with indignation and hate, as he cried, �Stupefy, Impedimenta, Reducto,� one after
the other. The Death Eater�s were caught off guard as, unfortunately, those in
Harry�s group. Then, the curse began to fly back and forth like an extremely
violent tennis match. Draco had been taken out of the match after leaping in
front of a rather nasty Cruciatus curse aimed for
Ginny. Remus took down several of the Death Eater with stunning and body
binding curses only to be stunned by the one that he had missed. Mrs. Weasley
soon followed by a concerned and distracted Mr. Weasley as they were hit by no
less than four stunners. Tonks was handling herself by morphing into various
guises and confusing the already brain lacking individuals. Ron and Luna were
working in tandem; while on would cast a shielding charm the other would cast a
barrage of curses. The Death Eaters were losing and they knew it, and Harry and
his group began to press the attack.

Then time seemed to stop as a
pained voice yelled �Avada Kedavra,�
and a jet of green light appeared from one Lucius Malfoy�s wand; it was headed straight for Hermione!

�No,� screamed Harry as he lunged
toward the light and, if not for all the noise, would have heard the cracking
sound as Harry appeared in front of Hermione. The only thing that was on his
mind was I can�t lose. Not like this, I
love her to much for this to happen. These thoughts of love filled his very
being and, in the distance, a certain Dark Lord began to writhe in agony. Had
anyone been looking really been looking they would have seen a faint gold glow
emanating from Harry�s body just before the curse hit him in the chest. With
that strike all Harry saw was darkness.

(A/N): Before I start receiving
hate mail or reviews proclaiming that I�m the devil incarnate or something to
that effect please listen to what I have to say. First of all remember that the
description still says in progress and I have yet to reveal the title�s secret.
I would never end a promising story on its second chapter. On a happier note I
wonder if you have guessed what the packages are. Remember that it�s more than
two. I also plan, for you skeptics, to write another flashback or two
explaining Draco�s defection.

I also wanted to say thank you for
all the great reviews, and I want to make one thing clear. I am not, as you
will see in my profile, Excalibur or Anduril or a collaboration thereof. My
user name was derived from linking my two favorite swords, Excalibur and
Anduril. Sorry for any confusion this has caused and I hope you have enjoyed my
story so far. As for the book it was a real one chosen by myself at random.
