Hey y'all! I just made this story so I hope you like it.
Feel free to add if you'd like.


HARRY POTTER AND THE PASSIONATE DESIRE



I have to stop this! Twenty year-old Hermione Granger thought to herself as she lay on her couch with a picture in her hands. Her eyes were full of tears and she was holding the picture close to her. I’m not a little girl anymore! This isn’t Hogwarts and I have to remember that. I have to remember that this is the REAL WORLD!
The picture that she held so dear to her and had cried over for the three years was of her and her best friend, Harry Potter. She had not seen or heard from him since that horrible day when they had to leave Hogwarts forever. He had not visited, called, or even written a letter to her in those miserable three years. Every night she lay on her couch by the fire, stared at her beloved portrait of her beloved friend, and cried herself to sleep. She had done this for three long and excruciating years.
She never really knew why she tortured herself like this. Maybe she thought that one day he would return to her and hold her in his arms. She knew she was being foolish. He had probably gotten a good job and forgotten all about her, and here she was, Hermione Granger, the girl who used to be so happy with all of her friends, now an adult, all alone, crying her eyes out over a a silly little photograph from three years ago.
So, obviously, tonight was no different.
Hermione had finished her dinner, taken the portrait, and sat down on the couch with it and a glass of wine. Her schedule never changed. She always finished dinner, fixed up an alcoholic drink, and sat on the couch, ready to drink and cry.
She wondered if he even thought about her. He had not told her what he had planned to do very much. Once or twice Harry had told Hermione and his other best friend, Ron Weasley, that he wanted to become an Auror at the Ministry of Magic.
Hermione had also figured the possibility of Harry and Ron becoming professional Quidditch players. In the good old days back at Hogwarts, Harry had played Seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch team and Ron had played Keeper. Hermione had actually wanted to be a Chaser in their seventh year, but she had never gotten around to signing up for it.
Maybe if I had remembered to sign up for the position of Chaser, then I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t be getting myself drunk on wine and crying over a stupid picture! Hermione thought to herself.
So tonight, she took her drink and picture and sat on the couch. She finished her drink and, by that time, was crying. She felt like such a baby, but she had always thought the same thing every night for the past three years: How could you leave me alone like that? I need you more than anything! Help me! I need you, Harry!
So when she finally dozed off, the picture slid out of her hands and fell on the floor.
She then had a weird dream. Hermione dreamed that she was on a broomstick and was about to fall off when a hand behind her grabbed her and pulled her back up. She turned around and she then saw him; Harry Potter was sitting on the broom with her. She could feel his warm breath on her neck. She felt his body press against hers. Her chocolate-brown eyes met his emerald green ones and she heard his sweet and passionate voice say softly in her ear, “Don’t worry, Hermione. I’ve got you. I’ll never let you go.”
She turned around and her lips passionately touched themselves against his. Hermione could actually feel his kiss and she never wanted him to let her go...
BUZZZZZZZZ!
The alarm clock went off and she woke up, startled. There was one odd thing about Hermione’s nightly schedule. Every night she fell asleep on the couch, but the next morning, she would find herself waking up in her bed.
Oh, well. Time to go to work!
Hermione had gotten a job two years ago as a bookkeeper at Flourish and Blotts bookstore on Diagon Alley.
When she got to work, she immediately started organizing the books on the shelf. Suddenly, her boss, Mrs. Owens, poked her head out of the manager’s office. “Miss Granger, could I talk to you for a minute?” she said.

If you read this story, could you PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE post an addition to it or a reply

Umm... it's nice, but this is the wrong part of the forum to post it up in...

You should post this over in the ficlets/cookies part of the H/Hr section. It's nice so far...

MOD NOTE: This is not in the correct forum. It's not a complete fic, so I cannot put it in the cookies forum. It is an incomplete fic and the author wants someone to continue it so I'm putting it in the Round Robin forum - enjoy taking turns at completing it.
--thereader

THank you for posting. I'll work on it more, but in the meantime, could you please keep posting?

MOD NOTE: Hey, we have a new story... Just to let everyone know, the Rules and Guidelines will able to this story as well. Please read them before posting. Have fun, can't wait to see where this story develops.

that was a great story please continue.

When she got to work, she immediately started organizing the books on the shelf. Suddenly, her boss, Mrs. Owens, poked her head out of the manager’s office. “Miss Granger, could I talk to you for a minute?” she said.

--------------------------------------------------

Hermione made her way to the manager's office right away.

"Come in dear," Mrs. Owens warm voice invited her in. "This letter came in this morning. I was wondering why it came here instead of your home," she added.

'This is my home, with all these books,' Hermione thought to herself.

Mrs. Owens gave her the letter.

Hermione saw the Hogwart's Seal and hastely opened the letter.

Dear Ms. Granger,

We are inviting you to a very private gathering in the Hogwarts Premises on the 31st of July. Along with this letter is a slip of old thread that you should tie on your finger and will serve as a Portkey on the day of the invitation. We are all eager to see you. We are waiting for your quick reply.


Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore
Hogwart's Headmaster

A smile broke into Hermione's face

---------------------

Please continue..... I know it is rather short but I wasn't even sure if this is what the starting author wanted to happen to her fic....

Thank you, and even though it wasn't what I had planned, I felt that yours was better. Good job, karenkate.you can email me your Ideas at sebwizard89@charter.net

Dark Sorcerer SEB and karenkate_kitty...please any of you continue...what happen next?....more!!

I can't post again i just posted.... i encourage someone elso to continue..... maybe Zanarkand should take a stab at this

I'll give this a go! I hope it's OK!



A smile broke into Hermione's face

"What is it Hermione?" Mrs. Owen asked seeing Hermione's smile
"Um..Nothing, just a letter froman old friend."
"Ah. Close friend?"
"No, not really, but I need tomorrow off." Hermione said hoping her boss would agree.
"It's a bit short notice, but since it's you. OK"
"Thank you!" Hermione said happily. "I'll make my hours up, I promise."
"Oh I wouldn't hear of it dear! You have tomorrow off as a thank you for helping me sort this place out."
"Are you sure? I mean, I could-"
"I'm positive. Now make sure you stay this happy. It's the happiest I've seen you in a long time." Mrs. Owen said fondly.
Visions of Harry popped into Hermione's mind.
She had to close her eyes to prevent her salty tears falling down her face.
*Well, being Happy didn't last long did it?* She thought concentrating on not letting her emotions take hold of her again.
"Hermione?" Mrs. Owen asked concerned "Are you OK?"
"Fine." She choked out looking away and hiding her face.
"Hermione. Are you crying?"
"No." She lied.
"C'mere." Mrs. Owen wrapped her arms around Hermione's small figure as Hermione let everything out....again.
*This is getting silly.* She thought while she cried.

yet another great R&R... but not if nobody posts!!! :furious:
come on... anyone... i can't write since i don't have any ideas.... as always... someone please continue!!!

This is getting silly She thought while she cried.

"Hermione, dear. What's wrong?" Mrs. Owens asked nervously.

Hermione sniffled, feeling another wave of sadness swamp her. "It's just--I'm just being silly."

Mrs. Owens held the sobbing woman at arms length and eyed her skeptically. "I've never said anything before, Hermione, since you've always been like this...but maybe you should look into therapy."

Hermione was taken aback, and gave her employer a puzzled look. "I appreciate the fact that you care, but really...I'm fine."

"There's no use in trying to hide it, Miss Granger. Somethings upsetting you, and you haven't got anyone to talk about it with?" Mrs. Owens confirmed.

Hermione stared at her. "This is a personal issue--"

"Is it a man?" Mrs. Owens interrupted, and Hermione's thoughts instinctively traveled to the photo of Harry.

"No,"

"Oh...a woman?" Mrs Owens guessed again.

"No.... Listen, I'll sort it all out on my day off. Is that okay?" Hermione tried, wiping her eyes and gathering her composure.

Mrs Owens looked her over once more. "Fine, but I don't want any sobbing when you get back."

Hermione opened her mouth to say 'It's a deal.' but felt as if she'd be lying. Instead she slipped a small, "Okay," as she slipped out of the office.

She began to stock books again and kept sneaking thoughts of that Godforesaken picture. Maybe Dumbledore knows something about Harry... She let herself think guiltily. She glanced up at the clock. It was time for a break, and Hermione was glad too, because she need to go somewhere else if she was to have another good cry.







Okay, thats my contribution...I don't even know if anyone cares about this post anymore but whatever...enjoy.

yippee!! someone posted!!
great job, A_Falmouth_Falcon!!!
someone please continue!!!

HB

Thanks for these posts! I love how this has turned out!
Since I'm the original author, I'll post more to it.

She needed to go somewhere else if she was to have another good cry...



Even though she was supposed to be focused on books, Hermione was finding it extremely difficult to concentrate on anything but the reunion letter. I hope that Harry will be there! I really need to see him again! she thought.
The bell rang and when Hermione saw who had come in, she had to stop herself from squealing with delight; Ron Weasley had just walked in the door.
"Hermione?" he said. "Is it really you?"
"Yeah, it's me. See what I've gotten as a job?" she replied, gesturing to the shop.
"It's not that bad." replied Ron.
"What are you doing here?" she asked. "Did you come for a book?"
"Yeah, I did." Ron replied. "I was wondering if you had that book you wrote back in 6th year. The True Harry Potter."
"Why do you want that book?" she asked.
"Because I never read it. I thought it would be good to see what Harry's done in his life. After all, nobody knows Harry Potter better than you, Hermione."
"That's not exactly true, Ron, because if I knew everything about Harry, then I would know where he is now. I have not seen or heard from him in three years!"
"Do you have the book?" Ron asked, seeing that tears were starting to slide down Hermione's cheeks. "Maybe now isn't a good time to talk about Harry."
"Yeah, we have it." Hermione replied, quickly wiping away her tears and turning towards the shelf to find the book.
"Hermione, you do know that he's coming to the reunion, right?"
Just as she had grabbed the book, she spun around at his words. "He is? How do you know?"
"Because he told me on the fellytone."
"Telephone!"
"Oh yeah!"
"Wait, wait, wait! You've been communicating with Harry?" Hermione demanded.
"Yeah, he and I play for the United Kingdom Quidditch Team. He's the best and youngest Seeker that the U.K. team ever had. I play Keeper, by the way. They said I was the youngest Keeper the team ever had."
"WHY WASN'T I INFORMED ON ANY OF THIS?" Hermione yelled angrily. "YOU AND HARRY TAKE OFF TO PLAY QUIDDITCH AND LEAVE ME ALL ALONE FOR THREE YEARS WITHOUT SO MUCH AS OWLING ME ONCE!"
Ron was taken aback, for he had no idea that Hermione had suffered this much over the past three years.
Hermione couldn't believe that she was bursting out like this at her friend, especially in hearing range of her boss, but she didn't care. She was so furious at Ron and Harry right now that she didn't care about anything.
However, Mrs. Owens did. She opened the door and came out of her office, saying, "Miss Granger, what is all the yelling about?"
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Owens. It's just a small problem that-"
"I don't care, Miss Granger. You know it's against the rules to yell at your customers!"
"Mrs. Owens, I'm sorry. It'll never-"
"Hermione, I have an idea. What if I give you the rest of the day off?"
"Why?"
"Because of two reasons. One, you have really been upset lately, and two, I think you deserve it."
"Thank you, Mrs. Owens."
Hermione finished up what she had to do, grabbed her hat, and headed out of the shop.
"What was THAT about?" said a voice. Hermione looked to the left. Standing right under the sign was Ron.
"I have one request, Ron." she said firmly.
"Which is?" said Ron.
"I WANT TO SEE HARRY!" she snapped.
"Why are you so desperate to see Harry?" said Ron.
"Do you know what I've done every single night for three years?"
"No. I don't."
"I've sat on my couch and cried myself to sleep over Harry every night for THREE YEARS!"

I am asking if someone could please post to my story, "Harry Potter and the Passionate Desire," which is in the "Round Robin" Section


MOD NOTE: Originally posted in the H/H Fic Recs forum. Sorry, that section is for full-blown fics hosted in PK or elsewhere. ~gal-texter

Great Job, Dark Sorcerer SEB!!!
now i can really hear the "Passionate Desire" from Hermione
Ron was mean! (well, Harry too ) they didn't contact Hermione for Three whole years!!!
oh well..... it was really good!!!
Someone please continue!!!

HB

THanks for your opinion. By the way, obsessedharrypotterfan, they weren't being mean or ignoring her, they just had their own lives to attend to. They didn't know that she was suffering such pain and sorrow. Anyway, I LOVE how my story's turning out, thanks to all of you guys, please keep going.

p.s. by the way, if anyone here knows how to add stories in the Fan fiction section, please tell me on this forum

Keep up the good work, portkey friends!


- Dark Sorcerer SEB

This thing has such great potential (wow long word (lol)) that i dont want to ruin it, so i probably will wait a while to add a post, but then again i might come up with a good one in the next 10 minutes.
so anyways, this post may be a bit pointless, but i guess my point is you have a great idea and also a great story. so i guess its not pointless.

~~harrypotternut, confused and obsessed~~

ps: no i am not working on an addition, so please someone continue

"Do you know what I've done every single night for three years?"
"No. I don't."
"I've sat on my couch and cried myself to sleep over Harry every night for THREE YEARS!"



"And why have you been doing that all these years?" Ron asked.

"I can't believe you had to ask me that question. He was gone for the longest time. Well, you were gone too. Neither one of you have even tried to contact me. See if i'm still alive," she burst again. "I thought I lost Harry, I thought I lost him and I have shut myself here with all these books."

"I know we're wrong leaving you off getting on with our own lives and forgetting about you. I know we've been selfish. I have only seen Harry this season. I was surprised as you are when we saw each other for the first time. I'm really sorry Hermione but we can pick the pieces and be the best friends we were before. You just don't know how Harry been talking about meeting you again," said Ron as he tried to comfort his best friend.

"He wanted to see me too?" Hermione asked as dried away her tears. He wanted to see her too and she felt a tinge of happiness. She longed for him for the longest time and finally she'd see him again.

She smiled at her red-head best friend.

------------

I know it's a bit sloppy.... my part, that is... anyway.... i'm abit curious.... Hermione's working in diagon alley.... and i'm sure she has access with daily prophet being the wizard news paper. Unless the Quidditch season hasn't started and that people hadn't found out that Harry is playing Quidditch then wouldn't it be wrong that Hermione haven't found out about it yet.... thought i should tell yah SEB so you can explain that bit....otherwise it might seem awkward.....thought it might help...really great post you just made up there....

~Karen

She smiled at her red-head best friend.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" she said excitedly.
"Okay, but Hermione, it doesn't start for another 3 hours..." Ron said slowly, as if wondering if his best friend had changed so much no one would recognize her.
"Oh. Well, we can always talk to Dumbledore. Didn't you say Harry's coming?" she reminded him. "I would kind of like to see him as soon as possible, since it hasn't been possible in the last 5 years." She saw Ron roll his eyes but didn't care. Tonight, she would be seeing Harry, and why not get there early so as to see him more? What's the harm in that, anyway?
"Fine. I give up. Where is it again?"
"Oh, Ron." she said, and told him exactly how to Apparate there. She remembered back in their seventh, and last, year together he had had a lot of trouble Apparating correctly. "Well--here goes nothing." she said as she and Ron Apparated to the reunion.
"Hello, Ms. Granger and Mr. Weasley. I wasn't expecting you for three more hours. However,I would be glad to let you stay and help set up." Dumbledore, wizard genius, greeted them. They nodded and set right to work.
Somehow, the thought of seeing Harry kept the work less tedius and more interesting.
Suddenly, a small pop, like the kind wizards made when Apparating, issued from behind her.

I hope you can continue from this (and not make it extremely cliche) and I hope I haven't ruined the story...

Suddenly, a small pop, like the kind wizards made when Apparating, issued from behind her.

Harry was just arrived, and he said:

"Hermione! Ron! I'm here!"

they turned and saw him, grinning to them; Hermione couldn't help to run and hug him, and she just reached him, that Harry hugged her too, and whispered in her ear:

"You don't know how long I was desiring to see you!"

Ron smiled, then he went to them, and all together continued the work...

after some time, Ron had to exit the room, and Harry said her:

"You know, in those three years, I was trying to avoid you for one precise reason, that now I want to explain you..."






Please continue this! I hope I contributed in a good way!!

thanks, Harry 85. I really like how all of you made it turn out so far. Well, now it's my turn again and I'll provide Harry's explanation for you.

*********

"You know, in those three years, I was trying to avoid you for one precise reason. A reason that I now want and need to explain to you."


"Harry, I-"

"No, Hermione. Don't say anything. You can scream at me, attack me, do anything you wish, but I must have my say first."

Hermione knew it was no use to argue, so she nodded in agreement and remained silent.

"Believe me, Hermione, if I had had a choice about it, I would've picked the choice where we could be together, but I didn't have a choice."

"WHY?" Hermione suddenly burst out. "Why didn't you have a choice? Why couldn't you have stayed here with me?"

"Because, Hermione," Harry replied, looking more serious. "Staying with you would've cost me the one thing I would never let myself lose: your life."

Hermione stared up at her friend and realized he was about to tell her something VERY important!

**********

I have a request. Could you people please post your comments but not add to the story until I get a chance to finish Harry's explanation. I do, however, want you to post more comments on your opinion of the story so far. THanks.


*Dark Sorcerer SEB *

Dark Sorcerer SEB, I think, I read this story someplace before...I don't know it from Portkey. Or Fanfiction.net. Nice job..anyway.

Very good story everyone who posted it!

Not a one-liner

-Anto

Found another one!

Yeh, I agree, great!

SEB Yeah that's great I like it. I wonder why Harry couldn't see Hermione.

Anyway everyone this is a great story and I think I may make a contribution to it soon. Anyway great work everyone

Gems

Dont take too long to post your explanation!This going very well!and I want more!!

I agree keep it up SEB!!!!!!!

I can't wait for you to post something!

Anto

Good story but I find it hard to believe any explanation from Harry not seeing Hemrione after three years.
You've backed yourself into a corner I'm afraid! Hope you can find the way out, I'm sure you will though.

Cheers!

waaaaaaaaaaa I'm having a hard time understanding a few parts of the story well, only one actually what's 'Mione's job? A Librarian or a book shop clerk? 'Ey can i continue the next one? Can I? Huh?

Course you can Shenny.

As in ex-Mod of the RR, I want to inform you that in Round Robins, everyone can post their part---> this is what they're for.

Have fun!

Um Hi everyone I was wondering if SEB is going to come back and finish her secction like she said or not. I mean that post was made last year, I really think it is a little unfair on us others who want to write a part to have to wait for months for SEB to finish (sorry if that sounds mean I don't mean for it to be).

Personally I think that if you say something like that you really only have a week or so to finish it not months and months.

So sorry if it sounds mean or rude but I kindda think it's a little unfair.

What do you guys think?

Gems

I agree with you, I do think it is rude, but from her profile that was her last post to this fourm.

Hi guys, sorry I was gone so long, but my mom grounded me from the computer. Anyway, here's the long waited explanation:

*Hermione stared up at her friend and realized that he was about to tell her something VERY important!

"You see, Hermione, it starts like this. Four years ago, back at Hogwarts, I had a serious crush on you and was on the verge of asking you out. However, there was one problem."
"What problem would that be, Harry James Potter?"
Harry simply said one word : "Voldemort."
Hermione looked confused.
"You see, Hermione, ever since this crush developed, I've had this uncontrollable urge to ask you to be my girlfriend whenever I'm around you. However, even now, I can't because if you and I got together, it would endanger your life."
Hermione STILL looked confused.
"You see, Hermione, Voldemort is still out there, alive and just as lethal as ever! I know him. To get to me, he puts the ones I care about in danger. I don't want you to get hurt because of me. I care about you too much to do that."
"Harry, forget about Voldemort!" Hermione suddenly cried. "If you love me, then say you love me! Don't hide your feelings because of a crazy, 73 year-old man!"
"Hermione! I can't!"
"Harry, if you're so desperate to protect me, then tell me how you truly feel about me. If Voldemort comes, then I'll fight alongside of you!"
It was only then that Harry realized that she was leaning in towards him.
"Hermione, I-"
"Shhh," she whispered softly. "Don't say anything, Harry. If you aren't brave enough to say it, then I will! I love you, Harry Potter!"
And before he could say anything more, she leaned in and closed the gap between them; Harry Potter and Hermione Granger were sharing their very first, romantic and passionate kiss of their lives...

Well, how was that? I hope that you all liked it. I'm probably not going to be on for a while so will you pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeee add to my story? Thanx!
- SEB

That was heaps good SEB thanks for finishing it. Sorry if I offended you by wanted to continue it I was just getting sick of waiting. I'm a rather impatient person.

Gemma

Finally...Good job I hope you can add more to the story soon. I hope you can get more parts to this story.

Wow! why doesn't anyone ever write these any more? It's realy good!!!! i can't write stuff like that. i wish i could.will someone ever finish it???!!!

ahhh wow , someone please continue !
i seriously need more, this is just too good to be true!

Okay I'll add something to it.

And before he could say anything more, she leaned in and closed the gap between them; Harry Potter and Hermione Granger were sharing their very first, romantic and passionate kiss of their lives...

After a minute Hermione broke away. "Harry, I can't live without you. My lifes been a mess since I lost you. You have no idea, Harry. I don't care if Voldemort comes after me. I'll fight with you. Just don't leave me again," Hermione told him.

"Hermione, I do know how bad it's been for you since I left. I've been watching you everyday. Didn't you ever wonder why you ended up in your bed when you feel asleep on the couch?" Harry asked her.

Hermione was startled by this, "that was you?" she asked.

Harry nodded. "It was the only way I could see you without putting your life in danger."

Hermione was about to say something but the others started to arrive at that moment.

****

Okay that's all I got. It's not all that great but at least we can try and get this story moving again.

Gemma

Great posts guys!
*Claps*

Maybe we can get it moving again huh?

~Bec, the oh-so-happy Mod.

I'll be here as well as TTW so expect to see me post stuff in here




M3

Cool good to hear people are willing to post additions. Hope we can get it moving again. I tried to link the earlier stuff into my addition.

Gemma

Great posts, SEB and Gems!

Thought this R&R was going to die, but I was wrong yet again!
I can see it coming alive now... but how will this story end?
It looks like it's going to be short.. but who knows? It may end up being super long!

Hope to see more parts!
I can't post, 'cause RL hates me!

HB

YAY MY TURN!!!!

"Hermione was about to say something but the others started to arrive at that moment."

"Hi!"

"Hi!"

"Hello!"

"Long time no see!"

"Hey there!"

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's you!"

Harry and Hermione were lost in the crowd of graduates, and were automatically seperated. Hermione had tears in her eyes anyway, so she just wanted to leave. But Harry had pushed past people to get to her and pulled her aside.

"Hermione, you don't understand," Harry began and then lowered his voice, "I do love you, but that cannot be shown until Voldemort is eliminated."

Hermione looked him in the eye and found her heart slowly crumbling. He did love her! He really did! But he would never be able to show it.

"But...What if...I mean...Harry. I love you so much. Voldemort knows that I don't care!" Hermione whispered to him truthfully.

Harry looked her in the eyes lovingly, and thought how much he loved her. It was too much stress for his small, not trained heart to handle! So, he ran away.

Hermione wanted to go after him, but that would be wrong, because he was supposed to go after her; like in all her books. Damn books! Hermione cried and ran from the reunion, towards refuge also known as books.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well...twasnt that bad, twas it?? Alright- I've contributed, so whos next??

Yay, someone posted, well done Musique!
Hopefully we can revive this thing *crosses fingers*
