The story of Harry Potter belongs to J. K. Rowling and Supernatural belongs to Eric Kripke. I am in no way trying to claim that it is mine. This fan-fiction does not follow most of the plots of the previous Harry Potter books or Supernatural seasons.

It is set in Harry's 7th year at Hogwarts.

Sam is still in America with Jess. Since the story is mostly about Harry, I didn't want it to become too complicated, so I left Sam out.

Prologue

It was July 11th, and he would be arriving at the Burrow in 3 days time. He was already finished packing. Harry was truly ready to leave #4 Privet Drive. All summer long he has been shut up with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. It has been very agonizing.

He looked at his watch. Harry was surprised to see that it was 1:30 in the morning. He was very tired but he couldn't go to sleep. He has always had trouble sleeping; mostly because of his nightmares involving Voldemort. But this time it was because of something else. For some reason, he kept thinking about Hermione. He had not talked to her for what felt like forever and he really missed her.

Chapter 1 - At the Burrow

When Harry finally arrived at the Burrow, he was elated when he saw Ron and Hermione sitting in the living room talking to each other. He took in a small amount of breath when he noticed that Hermione looked particularly beautiful. She had a light, floaty, purple blouse on, with light purple buttons up the front. She wore a pair of blue jeans that wonderfully defined her beautiful long legs. Her long, soft, mocha brown hair was pulled back into a simple ponytail that let loose light tendrils of hair line her elegant, soft face. Although the clothes that she wore were casual, she had a sort of shining grace about her that made her glow. While Harry was admiring her gorgeous figure, she saw him standing there.

She squealed, "Harry! You're here!" and came running to hug him like she always did.

However, when she was hugging him tightly, Harry was feeling something different from the normal joy he felt in seeing her after an entire summer at the Dursley's. He felt a different kind of joy; something much deeper than friendship. He couldn't quite understand what was different between them, but he was determined to find out.

Ron's taller form came jogging up behind her.

"Harry! How's it going mate?" Ron exclaimed. He gave Harry a hug, too.

"Great! How about you?"

"Not bad… Fred and George tried to trick me into eating one of their new inventions yesterday."

Harry chuckled. "Hermione? How are you doing?" he inquired.

"I am rather well. I've been trying to study this year's new schoolbooks, but that has proved to be impossible with the racket Fred and George have been making, trying out all their new products."

"What? They haven't moved out and bought themselves a mansion from all the galleons they're making?" Harry said. Ron laughed.

"No." She said, smiling.

Harry was very happy to see his two best friends again, despite the strange new feelings he was feeling towards Hermione.

Harry woke up in a delightful mood the next morning. As usual, Ron was still sleeping. He looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 6:30am. He thought he might walk around a bit before things got busy. Harry didn't know that Hermione was also thinking the same thing and that she wanted to stop by to see him before she went on her morning stroll. He also didn't know that Hermione had quietly opened the door when he was getting dressed. She almost fainted when she saw Harry shirtless. He was really fit and had developed defined muscles. His ruffled morning hair, which she used to find unbecoming, now looked extremely sexy on him. What was going on? Why was she suddenly feeling this way about him? What had changed? When Harry put on his shirt and turned around to go, Hermione was still in shock and when he saw her, they were both quite flustered.

"Hermione!"

"Oh, Hi, Harry. I was just walking by and well...I'll be going now."

She started to leave, feeling extremely stupid, when she felt Harry's hand on her arm, stopping her.

"Hey, wait. Were you going to take a walk, 'cause I was, too."

"Yeah"

"Let's walk together. Might as well, since no one is going to be up for a couple of hours."

Feeling a little less ridiculous, Hermione continued down the stairs with Harry and they started to talk about what has been happening with each other recently.

"Really? You were made Head Girl? Congratulations!"

"Yeah, surprising, right?"

"Not really. You definitely deserve it." Hermione blushed. "Thanks."

It had been an hour and a half and they hadn't even realized it, until Harry noticed that it was quite bright outside.

"We better get back to the house. Mrs. Weasley will begin to make breakfast soon."

Hermione looked at the sky, "Yeah, I guess you're right."

"It's so good to see you again, Hermione. I really missed you." Harry smiled.

"I really missed you too, Harry."

They walked back to the house in blissful silence, each of them thinking about what was happening between them. When they arrived, Mrs. Weasley was already starting to cook breakfast.

"Hello, kids. What are you doing up so early?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Oh, we just decided to go for a walk before everything got busy." Hermione said.

"Ah well, since you two are already up, why don't you help me prepare breakfast."

"Alright."

So Harry got the eggs and Hermione got the sausage and they helped make breakfast for the Weasleys.

An hour later, Ron was the first to come bounding down the stairs.

"Good Morning!" Ron said, obviously in a good mood.

"Good morning, dear," said Mrs. Weasley.

"Wow, I never thought I'd see you making breakfast, Harry. It's like you've become a girl like Hermione." Ron smirked.

"Just because he's kind and likes to help, doesn't make him a girl, Ronald." Hermione snapped.

"Oh, look who 'Mione has a crush on."

"I do not have a crush on Harry!" Hermione turned the color of a radish.

"Settle down you two and set the table." Mrs. Weasley said sternly.

Harry was glad she did. But now Harry had something to think about. What did Ron mean by what he said? And why did Hermione act the way she did when he said it? Harry suddenly realized, maybe he was starting to like Hermione as more than a friend. This couldn't be happening. This new development could ruin their friendship. Harry was knocked out of his stupor when the rest of the Weasley clan came down for breakfast.

The rest of the month was pretty much the same. He and Hermione would take a walk together in the morning and help Mrs. Weasley cook breakfast when they got back.

On the morning of his 17th birthday, the Weasleys and Hermione quietly crowded inside Harry's room while he was sleeping. Hermione was carrying Harry's birthday cake in her arms with the candles lit and everyone else put their presents for him on Ron's bed. Mr. Weasley whispered, "One, two, three…" and on three, everyone began singing the Happy Birthday song. When Harry woke up, he sat up in his white T-shirt and smiled widely at the people he loved who were singing to him. When everyone was done, they all clapped and Hermione gave him his cake and said "Happy Birthday, Harry!" When she gave him his cake, Hermione slipped him a note that she had in her hand. Harry took it and reminded himself to read it later.

"Make a wish, Harry!" Ginny urged.

Harry thought for a moment and while he thought about his wish, he blew out all the candles in one breath. A great applause followed.

"Open mine first!" Ron said excitedly.

He gave Harry his present and Harry opened it to find a Hogwarts themed chess set, with Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff chess pieces in the base.

"Thanks, Ron!" Harry said.

"No problem, mate."

A lot of presents later, and an exploding Slytherin snake from the twins, Mrs. Weasley told everyone to get dressed and come down for breakfast. Once everyone was out of the room, Harry and Ron got dressed more quickly than usual, due to the fact that they were very much awake from all the excitement. When they were dressed and ready to go down, Harry told Ron to go ahead because he had something to do. When Ron had left, Harry pulled out the note that Hermione gave him. It read:

"Harry. Meet me down at the big sycamore tree at 8:00 tonight. I want to show you something."

This was very strange. What could she possibly want to show him? Nevertheless, he would go to meet her at 8:00 like she asked.

Most of the day was ordinary, except that the twins kept trying to play pranks on Harry to celebrate his birthday. At 7:45 that night, he told Ron that he needed to take a walk and went outside to meet Hermione at 8:00. The sun was about to set, but it was still daylight. When he got to the big sycamore tree, he saw Hermione dressed in a lovely. plain summer dress with her hair curled and pinned up in a loose bun. She looked absolutely gorgeous. She was gazing up at the sky when she noticed that Harry was staring at her.

"Harry! You came." Hermione said joyfully.

Harry just nodded because he was a bit speechless from her appearance.

"Harry, what are you staring at?" Hermione asked self-consciously.

Harry waited a moment and then said, "You're beautiful."

Hermione turned pink and smiled. "Oh, well, thank you, Harry. I just wanted to dress for the occasion."

Returning to the present Harry asked, "Yeah, what is that exactly? What are we doing here?"

"Come with me."

She started to climb the sycamore tree and, not knowing where this was going, Harry followed her. She stopped about halfway up at a good place for two people to sit. She sat down on a branch, facing the sun, and patted the spot next to her, signaling Harry to sit there. He sat down and looked at her expectantly, not knowing what to do next.

"Now look at that." She pointed to the sunset. "Isn't it beautiful?"

They sat looking at the sunset, with it's purple, orange and pink streaks in the clouds.

"Happy Birthday, Harry." she whispered.

Then, ever so gently, she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. Harry resisted the urge to grab her and just kiss here right then and there.

"Than…thank you."

The rest of August was rather ordinary. They did some chores around the house and Ron and Hermione bickered on like usual. However, that one little thing was always in the back of Harry and Hermione's minds.

On September 1st they waved goodbye on the Hogwarts Express and sat down in a compartment with Ginny, Neville, and Luna. Some major things had happened with their two non-Weasley friends. Apparently they are a couple now.

"It makes complete sense." Hermione stated. "You guys are perfect for each other. Congratulations!"

"Thank you. I knew it would happen. The nargles told me it would." Luna said dreamily.

Neville smiled at his girlfriend. Ron was about to comment when Hermione kicked him under the table. Ron shot a look at Hermione, which she ignored. Harry loved it when she did that.

"Well, I'm glad you two are happy." Harry said to Neville and Luna.

Hermione smiled at him when he said that. She had really come to appreciate that Harry was very nice to everyone, no matter how strange they were. She had come to love that about him.
