- Author's Note:
- Oh my gosh, I'm not even kidding, I opened my e-mail inbox today and was sooo surprised to see all the reviews. I'm happy that everyone likes it thus far. This one is rather short, sorry you guys, and if you can't tell by this chapter then you'll be able to tell by the next that I am obsessed with writing dialogue.
A knock came at the door of his office. Quickly, he looked up to see a face from the past walk through.
"Sorry to disturb you but, I'd like to talk about this 'mission.'"
"Okay, I haven't looked at it yet but I guess now is the best time to. What about it?"
"Well, read it first."
"I don't see any thing wrong with- WHAT THE HE--?! We have to do what?!"
"Yeah, that's what I said. I just got in from the office inNew York."
"So that's where you've been. Why's it been so long since we last talked?"
"Hmm...I don't know. Would it have to do with the fact that Moody is positively crazy?" He gave her a look of confusion. "What I'm saying is Moody sent me to America to get that office 'organized'. I think it's because he knew about this mission way ahead of time and wanted to see how we would react when we found out that we'd be partners."
"Well, it is weird. Not weird in a bad way just...Just in the way that I haven't seen you in three years, I'm just seeing you right now and all we can talk about is work."
"We are at work, and this is work related."
"But how is this going to affect our out of work lives?"
"Life beyond work...hmm...does that sound like me?"
"You mean you don't even have a boyfriend ?"
"No. Do you have a girlfriend?"
He hesitated for a while.
"No. Surprised?"
"In a way. So, you think that they're trying to set us up or something?"
"Um...I don't know."
"What are you so nervous about?"
"What?"
"You're not acting like yourself. What's wrong? Kneazle got your tongue?"
"No, it's just that, I haven't seen you for three years. You walk in here like you haven't been gone. It hasn't been the same around here without you."
"You mean you haven't been the same without me?"
Silence rang through the room. He'd been standing behind his desk since he read what it was exactly that they had to do. HE walked around the desk to go and face her.
"You've missed so much. Have you talked to anybody since you got here?"
"Nope," she shook her head, "Only you. How is everyone?"
"Well, Luna and Ron are having their second baby."
"Who would've known? How's Ginny?"
"Marrying against your families wishes does stuff to you."
"Married? To whom? No, not,"
"Malfoy," they chorused.
"Poor Ron. What about you though? How've you been? No offense love but, you look like you've been to Hell and back a couple of times."
"Well gee, thanks. I've missed you too. I've been okay, mostly worried about you though. Gosh, you could've at least sent me an owl."
"I know and I'm sorry that I didn't. Merlin Harry, I've missed you so much! Getting this assignment I about had a heart-attack reading it!"
"Well, I think Moody was tired of hearing my complaining."
"Wow, you missed me so much that you started whining to Moody? Either you have a death wish or you weren't thinking."
"He wouldn't hurt me. I'm too important to the division."
"Wow, your head's even grown."
"Ouch 'Mione, that stung."
"Wh-...What did you call me?"
"'Mione, what's wrong with that? I've called you that before."
"Nothing's wrong with it. It's just been three years since I've heard it. Merlin, I've missed you so much."
"You've got no idea."
"Harry, I have to ask. I know it was a long time ago, but I still have to know. When we were preparing to walk through the doors for training, do you remember what happened?"
"Of course I do!"
"Well, did you...I mean...ugh... Did you really mean what you said?"
"When I said 'I love you'? Of course, did you think I would say that to just anyone? Hermione, I said it because I meant it!"
"Good. Because, well, because I love you too. And I'm so glad that we've been chosen for this mission. I think some one with higher power has been working on us getting together."
"Was it as hard for you as it was for me?"
"What's that?"
"Being away from you so much, during training and then after that?"
"Probably," hesitation, "Harry, Do you want to do this?"
"Hermione, it's an assign-"
"No. I mean, do you love me enough to actually get married and have a family? Are you willing to do this for real?"
"Of course! Same for you though. Do you want to do this? Do you think you could set aside my stupid imperfections?"
"Harry, your only imperfection is, not trusting in yourself enough. Thinking everything is your fault. Not believing me when I say I love you."
"Only one? Hermione, I do believe you. Merlin. I've loved you since fifth year. Well, I started out adoring you in second year. If I had lost you then, I wouldn't be here now."
The only noise in the room was that of the two moving together and giving one another a sweet kiss on the lips.
"So, when are we going to get started?" Harry whispered into Hermione's hair.
Author notes: I have one request though, I am in DESPERATE need of a beta. If any one can help me out, please send me an owl. You really don't want to see me beg, it ain't pretty.
