Chapter One

July 1998

The witch realtor took Harry and Hermione around the three bedroom flat in Wizard London. It was a little big, especially for the two of them, but they both wanted something in London since both were working in the area, him at the Ministry and her over at Flourish & Blotts. \"It\'s quite charming, especially for a couple such as yourselves,\" the witch said. Both chuckled as they turned around.

\"We\'re not a couple,\" they both said at the same time.

\"Could\'ve fooled me,\" the witch said.

\"Ms. Granger can\'t hold down a flat on her own, and asked me if I wanted to be her roommate,\" Harry explained. The witch smiled still not believing him.

\"Well, the third bedroom could be used as a guest room or a nursery when you decide to have children.\"

\"We\'re not a couple,\" Hermione said, \"We\'re just roommates.\"

\"That\'s what they all say,\" the realtor said. She showed them the kitchen, living room, extra room that could be study and the bedrooms. The only downfall was that the flat only had one bathroom, joining the two master bedrooms. They would have to share.

\"We could develop a time share for it,\" Harry suggested. Hermione laughed hitting him in the gut.

\"I should remind you that you two are not my only customers for this flat,\" she said, \"If you want it, you have to decide now.\" Harry looked over at Hermione who went into the kitchen.

\"What do you say, Mia?\" he asked calling her by her nickname. Hermione looked like she was in deep thought before she smiled over at Harry. \"We\'ll take it,\" he said.

\"Wonderful!\" the witch said, \"Not many can say they sold a flat to Harry Potter and his girlfriend.\" Harry groaned.

\"She is not my girlfriend. She\'s just a friend who happens to a girl,\" he said, \"Everything is just platonic between us.\"

\"That\'s what they all say,\" she said, \"I\'ll go start the paperwork.\" The realtor left them alone in the kitchen to go get the paperwork from outside.

\"Why doesn\'t anybody believe that we\'re not together?\" he asked.

\"I don\'t know,\" Hermione said, \"Maybe we should get together, and say the hell the with it.\" Harry chuckled as he walked into the kitchen that had a bar like counter to it.

\"Are you sure you want to live with me?\"

\"Harry, you\'re my best friend,\" she said, \"Besides, it would be alot better than living with Ron. He\'s the one with a girlfriend, not you.\"

\"Oh, thanks,\" he said sarcastically, \"You just picked me because my love and sex life sucks.\"

\"You don\'t have a sex life, Harry,\" she said, \"You\'re a virgin.\" Hermione pecked Harry on the cheek, and walked out of the kitchen.

The flat was officially theirs by the end of the day, and they immediately started moving in. When they could. Harry was one of the best Aurors in the Ministry, and was busy at catching the Deatheaters that had gotten away from the Final Battle. Hermione had become a supervisor at Flourish & Blotts in Diagon Alley. Although they both had weekends off, it took them over a month to move all their stuff into the flat, and another to unpack it. Mrs. Weasley was there to help as always, as was Ron, but they weren\'t sure when he would show up as he was now first Keeper of the Chudley Canons.

By the time they were both settled, Harry was off on a five day assignment to Italy with his Auror partner, and Hermione was left alone most nights. It was on the fourth night she cracked, and invited some of her friends from Hogwarts the next day to come on over. Ginny Weasley, the Patil twins, Lavender Brown, Susan Bones, Hannah Abbot and Luna Lovegood, all members of the unofficial Harry Potter fan club that was still going on after school. They were all extremely jealous of Hermione, sharing a flat with Harry Potter.

\"I am so jealous of you, Hermione,\" Lavender said, \"Sharing an entire flat with Harry.\"

\"Oh, don\'t tell me you still have a crush on him, Lav,\" Hermione said, \"That\'s so fifth year.\"

\"Where\'s the extra bathroom?\" Susan asked looking around.

\"There\'s only one,\" Hermione said, \"Harry and I have to share.\" She regretted saying that when she heard numerous gasps.

\"You share a bathroom with Harry Potter?\" Parvati asked.

\"Mione, you have to tell us,\" Ginny said, \"How big is he?\"

\"Oh, my God, you guys are terrible!\" Hermione shouted, \"Harry is my best friend. I would never stoop that low.\"

\"You mean, you never walked in on him?\" Hannah asked.

\"No!\"

\"Well, you spent two months together ...\"

\"That was moving in and unpacking,\" Hermione said, \"We still had our old places, and we did eventually get settled in, he left for Italy on assignment.\"

\"Well, gee, I thought this was going to be a fun party,\" Padma said. They all laughed as the sound of the doorbell rang out. Hermione got up from her seat, and went over to the door. She opened it up to reveal a very tired looking Harry.

\"I am too tired to look for my bloody key,\" he said. He went to pick up his bag, but she picked it up for him. \"Thanks,\" he muttered. The girls held their breath when Harry came into view. \"Oh, I didn\'t realize you were having a party, Mia.\" The giggled when he called her \'Mia\'. They always teased her when he called her that in school. She was the only one he had a nickname for.

\"I got lonely with an empty flat,\" Hermione said.

\"Oh, Mia, I didn\'t mean to leave so suddenly,\" Harry said.

\"It\'s nothing, Harry.\" Harry chuckled before walking towards the back.

\"I\'d love to stay and chat about our Hogwarts days,\" he said turning around, but stumbled on his own feet. If Hermione hadn\'t caught him he probably would\'ve been on the floor.

\"Harry, you\'re wasted,\" she said.

\"Am not,\" he said, \"I know when I\'m wasted.\" He paused for a moment to think before coming to a conclusion. \"I\'m wasted.\" The girls giggled as Hermione dropped Harry\'s bag, and walked him to his bedroom. \"Mia, there\'s no need to walk me to my room.\"

\"I\'ll walk him,\" Luna offered.

\"Sit down, I\'ll do it,\" Ginny said, \"I was his girlfriend once after all.\"

\"I\'m doing it,\" Hermione said sternly, \"Everybody can just go.\"

\"Go?\" Hannah asked. Hermione ignored her as she carried Harry into his bedroom.

\"Why did you go get yourself hammered Harry?\"

\"To celebrate the capture of Crabbe, Sr.\"

\"Congratulations,\" she said dropping him onto his bed. She started to undo his shoes when he pulled his feet back.

\"I can undress myself.\" He groaned before falling onto the bed.

\"Right,\" she said. She heard giggling behind her, and she turned to see the girls peeking into Harry\'s room. \"All right, that\'s it.\" She headed to the door, and closed it. The girls moaned their disappointments, and Hermione went back to undressing Harry. She pulled his shoes off before going for the belt securing Harry\'s pants. She pulled them down trying not to do the same with his boxers, and tossed them to the floor. Harry tried to roll over, but she straddle his waist preventing him from doing so. She grabbed his shirt at the hem, and pulled up.

\"I love you, Hermione,\" he said, \"You\'re such a good friend.\"

\"I know, Harry,\" she said, \" I love you, too.\" Harry rolled over on his stomach, and Hermione pulled a blanket over him. \"Good night.\" She kissed him on the head hearing a soft spoken \'Good night\' from him before she left the room. The girls were still there. \"Didn\'t I tell you to go home?\" she asked.

\"We thought you were joking,\" Padma said.

\"Out!\"

\"She\'s not joking,\" Ginny said.

\"Harry\'s going to be hung over tomorrow, and he doesn\'t need half of his unofficial fan club here.\"

\"We\'re going,\" Lavender said. Hermione watched them gather their things before shooing them out of the flat. Harry was going to need someone who cared about him, not someone who just wanted to get into his pants.

Morning came too quick for Harry. His head was pounding when the bright sun woke him up. \"Aw, bloody hell,\" he cursed as he slowly sat up in bed. \"This is the last time I get drunk,\" he said. He was hoping things would stay quiet, but it wasn\'t his day. Hermione came into the room from the bathroom.

\"Good morning,\" she said cheerfully with a smile.

\"Ah, cheerful person at two o\'clock.\" Harry groaned as he put the blanket on top of him. Hermione pulled it off, and sat on the bed.

\"This is what happens when you get drunk, Harry,\" she said softly, \"Hangover potion.\" Harry gladly took it, and swallowed it in one gulp.

\"Thanks,\" he muttered. He went to go back into the bed, but Hermione pulled him out of bed. \"Mia, stop.\"

\"You need a shower, go.\" She pushed him into the bathroom, and went to the kitchen. Harry walked into the bathroom, and stripped down to his skin. He stepped into the shower, and the water turned on to his liking. He stood under the warm water as the Hangover potion started working.

\"Oh, thank Merlin for that potion.\" He washed his hair, and used his body wash to wash his tired body. He moaned in pleasure as his hand gripped on his semi hard cock. He closed his eyes as he pumped it slowly. He gasped out leaning his head against the shower wall. Suddenly, he moaned a name he thought he would never moan in a situation like this. \"Mia.\" He came in a strangled moan, and the evidence of his hand job went down the drain. \"Oh, shit,\" he whispered.

\"Harry?\" Harry panicked, and turned off the shower. He stepped out of the shower just as Hermione walked into the bathroom. It was only a few seconds, but Hermione got a good look at her friend\'s \"equipment\". Harry gasped grabbing his towel, and shielding himself from the woman he just wanked off to. \"I just came in to see if you\'re all right.\"

\"I\'m fine,\" he said.

\"Okay, I\'m going to make breakfast.\"

\"Sounds good.\" Hermione smiled before leaving the bathroom, closing the door. \'My best friend just saw me naked,\' he thought, \'Right after I just wanked off to her.\' Harry groaned when he felt himself getting hard at just the mere thought of Hermione again. He was starting to feel those sexual feelings he was trying to put away come back. Little did he know they would come at full force during the two years he would live with her.
