Chapter1

Note# although I really wish I did, I own none of the characters. They are all created by the ever so wonderful JK Rowling. However along the course of the story a few small characters may be added which are figments of my imagination. Hope you enjoy

Two different personalities tied by one single knot-forbidden love

She never knew what attracted her to him in the first place...Was it that in a room filled with people talking; he could still command attention with his silent and slightly brooding attire. Was it how she clung on to every word he spoke or that his voice was something different than she had ever heard? But this was wrong wasn't it? He was her best friend today...7 years after the very first time she met him...7 years together as friends and nothing more. Harry loved her...She knew that...But she also knew that he never loved her enough to be hers. He was Ginny's...he had been ever since they were 12. Who was she to come between relationships that had completed 3 years? But still today when she was moving to Italy with him for 4 years why did she feel like she could leave the whole world behind for this one boy? As they stood in front of everyone saying their goodbyes she knew that this move would do her good. She needed it; it was not that she did not love her family, her friends or even the Weasleys. She just needed to stop being Hermoine Granger-bookworm and go out there and see the world for what it was. That was exactly the reason she took the 4 year job in the Italian Daily Prophet as chief editor. Little did she know that harry was assigned to Italy for four year as a final part of his auror completion. And being the best friends that they were he thought it would be perfectly normal for them to share an apartment during their stay. As he hugged Ginny goodbye she could see the pain in his eyes and even though he was not sobbing as loudly and dramatically as Ginny she knew how much this separation was going to hurt him. She herself hugged Ron and promised to keep in touch...they made it a point to try to remain best friends even after breaking up. A two year long relationship could not come between such a long friendships according to her. It was not that she did not love him anymore; she had spent some of the most beautiful moments of her life with him. They just grew apart...Two people who unconsciously kept trying to change each other one day realized that sometimes compatibility is as important as love is. But even when it ended Ron and her wished that some day they would manage to work things out...Maybe that was another reason why these four years away was good for her. Harry and Hermoine took back a step and finally looked at the people they loved before apparating out to Florence-Italy

"Ready for this herms?"

"As ready as ill ever be"

"Four years away from home...This is gonna be interesting"

'You don't know how interesting' she thought

"Good thing I have my best friend with me" He said

All she could do was smile in return. She would never let her unexplained feelings come in between their friendship she decided. If it was a friend Harry wanted then she would be the best friend there was to be.
