Something There (Chapter One)
One
You all know me.... I'm Harry Potter's best friend, along with Ron of course. I'm twenty-six years old. Harry and I have been friends since our first day at Hogwarts. It was pretty embarrassing, why we met, how we met. Neville lost his toad, and I agreed to help him find him. From day one, I have always thought that Harry Potter was charming.
I know, I know.... crazy right?? After all, I always seemed to be up in his face about everything. But know that I come to think about it.... I only did that because I liked him. I know.... stupid. But he's indescribable.... adventurous, brilliant, handsome, charming, brave. All the things that I would love to be, however, I'm not. I'm just a bookworm. I'm a girl with a crush.... an unbelievable crush, which is so unlikely to happen.
Currently, I'm living in my flat in London.... well actually I'm living with Harry.... but just as friends.... there's nothing between us.... at least not yet. Hopefully something will happen. I'm a physiatrist, and I work with children. It's not what I wanted to do when I was a child growing up, however, I'm happy where I am now. Harry, well, you know Harry.... he's still the same kind of person. He's currently working in the Defense section of the Ministry of Magic, everyone thought that he was the right person for the job, you know, him being the Boy-Who- Lived.... or rather the Most-Gorgeous-Guy-Who-Lived.... at least that's what I think. Ron is somewhere, I'm not really positive of the location, however, I know that he is happy. Right now he's dating.... oh shit.... what's her name?? Oh yeah! Susan Bones. We've all known her from school. Hufflepuff, that's the house she was sorted into. All I remember was that we had a blast. Harry, he's been with so many girls, I can't even count. The last bird was some twenty-nine year old lady called Jess. I hated her. She was always stuck up and prissy about everything. Harry got so sick and tired of it, he told her that she should stop screwing him and go and fuck herself. That was the funniest thing I can remember Harry saying to one of his ex-girlfriends. Hopefully, I won't be an ex. I just want to be his forever. As perfect as could be.
::Present Time::
I sat in the kitchen, reading the Daily Prophet, sipping a cup of hot coffee. It was six thirty in the morning, and I just heard Harry awaken. 'He'll be down any second,' I thought, a smile playing on my face. I know for a fact that he wakes up every day at six twenty-eight every morning, and gets to bed at eleven nineteen every night.... no exceptions! Sure enough, Harry walked down, not wearing his glasses, his hair even more messy than usual, wearing a thin navy tee shirt and red checkered boxers. I was used to seeing him like this, for that's what he always wears to bed, if at all anything. When he had some whore in his bed, he was usually dressed before six o'clock showing her to the door. But if I was in his bed, I would give him the sex that he had dreamed about. And we wouldn't wake until at least noon the next day, due to our late night pleasures. However, none of that will happen for me. It's not going to happen. Although I love him with all of my heart, I only dream.
"Good morning, Harry," I said, looking up to meet his eyes.
"How are you this morning??" He asked,, trying to hide a yawn.
"I'm all right. You seem really.... crushed.... for some reason," I said, knowing that I was right for not only the first time.
"Well, if you consider crushed as tired, girlfriendless, worn, torn, sore, then yes, you'd be correct," said Harry, sitting down in a chair next to me.
"Hey, I'm really sorry about that Jess girl," I said, not meaning it at all.
"Don't be.... she's a bitch, I hated her from the start. She's probably got Ron already," said Harry. I knew that he was joking about Ron, however, I wouldn't be surprised if Jess the Priss already had another boyfriend. "So what are you doing today??" I asked, uncertain of what we should talk about.
"Well, I don't really know what's going to happen today, I know that you're going into the 'office' or what ever you call it. Sorry Hermione but you know I'm not good with the big words like you are," said Harry.
"I know.... it's all right. I don't care. Yeah, I'm going in today. And I get to help a little boy who has been starting fights in school. And I also get to talk to a fourteen-year-old girl about what she is going through right now. Her mother died when she was eight. Her father can't give her the advice that mothers can," I said.
"Well, Miss I'm-So-Mother-Like, once a Potter family has been started, I'll be able to talk to my daughter and give her advise," said Harry. I loved it when he was serious, yet sounded funny and the same time.
"All right, Mr. I'm-Gonna-Act-Like-A-Second-Mother-To-My-Daughter, I believe you," I said, trying to think up of a good name for him.
"That's a good thing that you do. How are you going to raise up your children?" Harry asked.
"Well, if I had a boy, I would want him to be like his father, and if a girl was brought into the family.... I would want her to be like me, studious, boy-crazy...."
"Boy-crazy?? Hermione, that's not one of your traits. You're studious, I'll give you that," said Harry.
"Oh, I'm boy-crazy.... In fact, I am crazy about one certain boy right now," said I, a smile now upon my face.
"Oh, and who might this boy be??" asked Harry, his voice a little higher than usual.
"That.... I can't tell you. For you'll have to figure out yourself," I said playfully. I stood up from the table, and stretched my arms. "I guess I'll see you later then," I said, walking out of the room.
"All right. I'll see you when you get back!" Harry called. I put on my clogs, grabbed my car-keys, picked up my notebook (along with a pen), and threw my wool jacket over my shoulders. Within ten minutes, I was in the office building, setting up for the day. I just relaxed for an hour or so, watching the news on the television set in the waiting room, the beginning of my daily routine. After that, I walked downstairs to the local cafe for breakfast, where I normally had a large coffee and an egg, cheese, and bacon sandwich. Finally, at eight thirty, I walked back upstairs, just returning before my first 'patient' arrived. He was about nineteen years old, obsessed with girls, and a bit Goth. He always wore black to the meetings we have, a skull necklace around his neck. Jeremy (that's the boy's name) was pretty much a normal kid, other than that. He goes to school, has a lot of friends, enjoys going to the cinema, playing football (a.k.a. soccer). He's what I would consider a normal kid.
Next came Samantha, the fourteen-year-old I was talking to Harry about. She has been coming to me ever since her mother died six years ago, and comes once a month. She's a really nice girl, and she reminds me of myself when I was her age. She's not the happiest of people, however, she's not the most lonesome person either.
After Samantha, I had an hour break for lunch, where I normally just ate downstairs, with my friend (well, neighbor, actually) who I've known all of my life. Her name's Shannyn, and we just normally talk about stuff. She doesn't know about me being a witch though, so it's a little hard to keep it in. Today I ordered a regular garden salad and a Diet Coke, which is what I normally get. With another fifteen minutes left of my break I decided to call Harry, just to see what he had been up to all morning. Unfortunately, he didn't answer. 'Probably in the shower,' I thought. Even thinking about Harry in the shower makes me horny, and makes me want to be there with him, screaming his name in between thrusts of pleasure. God I am such a pervert! I can't stop thinking about him, ever. I always ask myself how I can get his attention, and the only result is changing everything about me, which won't help at all.
The next child I saw was Brett, a troubled eight year old, who continuously starts fistfights in school. He's been suspended a few times, and was on the brink of getting expelled. However, his mother comes to me and tells me the updates, and in the past few weeks, he has been more calm and less violet. This visit wasn't any different than the rest, he just told me about the kids who kept annoying him, and how he just walked away like I told him to.... see people are starting to thank me because I am, in a way, leading them towards a better life.
After Brett, cam Sara, a six year old who is having trouble with her older brother, who supposedly keeps picking on her, causing her to punch, kick, and hit him back. She's ADD, so she's on a medication. Sarah is naturally the most adorable little girl I've met in my entire life. She's been more confident than I'll ever be. And I'm really glad that I've met her.
Finally, I got to head home. It may not be a very long day, but I love it. When I got home, Harry was there, asleep on the couch. Apparently he had been reading a book, which was laying on the floor beside him. I decided not to wake him, instead, I went upstairs to soak in a long hot bath. I wanted Harry to be there with me so badly, I wanted to call his name over and over until I reached my peak. However, that would never happen.... he's Harry Potter, I'm a nobody, I can only dream. About forty-five minutes later, I emerged from the bathroom, a towel draped upon me, I walked across the hall to my room and quickly dressed. I scurried downstairs and found Harry still asleep. I decided to start dinner, since it was already six thirty. Nothing special was going to be made.... just pasta with meatballs and a salad. It was a quick dinner that could be made in less than twenty minutes. Harry awoke five minutes before it was done.
"How long have you been home for??" he asked as he walked into the kitchen.
"About an hour," I said, "Why??"
"Jeez, I was out for about two hours then...." said Harry. "Smells good in here."
"Thank you! It's just pasta," I said. I loved getting compliments, especially from Harry, I served Harry and myself, he complimented me again, and that is how dinner was spent. Nothing really happened.... which is a little boring. I just wished that Harry liked me a little bit.... okay, maybe a lot, but it's never going to happen. Just once I want to feel my lips upon his, our tongues deepening the kiss. Just once I want him to enter me and thrust again and again, causing me to call his name. I want to be the mother on his children, I want to go through the pain to bring his child into this world. I want him to love me, but it's never going to happen. I only dream.
"Hermione, are you all right??" Harry asked after seeing the dazed expression on my face.
"Wha- oh yeah, I'm all right.... just thinking a little bit," I answered, abruptly taken from my spacing-out moment.
"About what??" asked Harry, his voice apparently filled with curiosity.
"The boy."
"That's right.... you didn't tell me who the lucky guy is!! I really am very anxious to find out the mystery," said Harry.
"I'm never going to tell you.... well.... I might.... if you guess...." I said, a smile playing on the corners of my lips.
"Neville.... Ron.... Dean.... Seamus...."
I shook my head in response to all of the guesses. "No.... no.... no.... no...." I said. 'He's never going to guess,' I thought. "I'll tell you later.... I promise."
"Herm.... do you wanna see a movie??" Harry asked.
"Sure.... tonight??" I asked.
"Yeah, if that's all right and isn't a problem...."
"Okay.... it'll be fun," I said enthusiastically. "Wait.... did you say that the guy I like is lucky??" I asked.
I could tell that Harry thought back thirty seconds, and then he finally answered, "Yeah.... I did say that."
"Why??"
"Because he's really lucky," said Harry, repeating his statement over again.
"Why is he lucky though.... I want to know," I said, a smile on my face.... my heart pounding in my chest.
"You're smart, beautiful, talented.... that's why...."
"I am none of the above, Mr. Potter," I said in a matter-of-factly tone of voice.
"You're all of the above and more!! You're perfect!" said Harry.
"What?!" He liked me.... I knew it.
"I said that you are perfect...." said Harry again.
"That's all shit, Harry, it's one-hundred percent shit," I said, my hands on my hips.
"All right.... you don't have to believe me, but that guy will cherish you forever," said Harry, placing his dinner dish into the soapy sink.
'If only you knew,' I thought, starting to melt.
"Do you want to see the movie here, or go out??" asked Harry.
"Erm.... do you mind if we stay here?? I don't feel like going out tonight...." I answered, my eyes meeting his.
"I know what you mean.... sure, we can stay here!" said Harry, his voice filled with enthusiasm.
'This is why I'm so addicted to you,' I thought to myself. I could smell his luring scent from ten feet away, which made me want to tears the clothes from his perfect body, explore him with my fingertips, seduce him, make him make love to me, make him fulfill the pleasures I have longed for my entire life. I want him to love me.... but I only dream. "What movie shall we see??" I asked.
"Well, there's 'A Knight's Tale', 'Titanic', you know what there is...."
"You said 'Titanic' because you are in love with Kate Winslet's body!!" I said.
"That's not true...." said Harry, color rising on his cheeks.
"You know it is.... Personally, I want to see 'A Knight's Tale'. You know how I react to Heath Ledger (sp??)," I said.
"Deal," said Harry. He knew I loved the lovey-dovey romantic films, yet the only problem was, I can't help but imagine me and Harry in those places. I would love is so much, but it's never going to happen.... I only dream.
Finally, during one of the last 'Tournaments' in the movie, Jocelyn (sp??) enters Sir Will's (I'll just call him that!!) tent-like shelter, and they, naturally, get it on.... which really made me uncomfortable. Here's Harry, sitting to my left, about two inches away from me, and he's the guy that I'm in love with. I glance over at him, just in time to see him looking at me. I close my eyes and then listen to the moans of pleasure on the television set. I can't stand this, this is lust, and lust is what is bothering me about Harry Potter. Finally, the next scene came along, and I am glad it did, or else I might not have been able to stand it any longer.
And when the last scene came.... that was pure hell. I couldn't stand it.... here they are, making out in front of an entire 'stadium' of people!! So I just close my eyes again, and open them to the end credits.
"How was it.... seeing the movie for about the.... what would you say.... tenth time??" asked Harry.
"It was all right.... just a little 'disturbing', that's all...."
"Oh, you're boyfriend making out with that hot chick," said Harry.
"He's not the guy I like, Harry.... I like-" I cut myself off.
"Yes.... ....??" asked Harry.
"Nope, I'm not telling you.... not now.... I'm going to head up to bed, I know it's early but I'm tired. Good night," I said, bending over and kissing Harry on the cheek. I then exited the room and upstairs. I changed into my pajamas and then thought for a moment. I want to be Harry Potter's girl, I want him to be mine, I never want anything wrong to happen to our relationship, I want to make love to him.... but I only dream....
To Be Continued.... .... .... ....
