The rain didn't stop until dark.

Until then, Harry and Hermione took shelter at the Three Broomsticks.

"I didn't notice it was already 7 in the evening...are you hungry? You want something to eat?" Harry asks.

"I'm fine" Hermione replies "It's quite cold, though"

"Sorry you got wet" He mumbles.

Hermione raised a brow and smiles "What are you saying sorry for? It's not your fault it rained"

"I think the sky hates me...hehe" He chuckles weakly.

Hermione smiles. She stared at the window. The rain still didn't want to settle down.

"You sure are a weird person, Harry Potter..."

When the clouds finally tamed itself, Harry apparates Hermione home. At the doorstep, Hermione handed him a beige envelope.

"For you. Thanks for this day" She smiles.

"Y-You're welcome, Hermione" Harry replies, stuttering.

Hermione laughs "You're quite shy aren't you?"

"Sort of" Harry smiles.

"Well..." She offers her hand "...see you then"

Harry took her hand and shook it "See you, too"

"Good night"

"Good night"

Harry waved to her as she closes the door. He then apparates back to Privet Drive. As he walked, his smile was never wider.

His heart was full of adrenaline and he sprinted back to the Dursley's home, the envelope in his right hand.
