*Hermione's POV*

I woke up the next morning like usual but something felt different. My pillow was... breathing?! Pillows don't breath! I cautiously opened one eye and saw that my 'pillow' was in fact Paul's chest! My head was resting on his chest and my right arm was resting across his stomach whilst both of his arms were wrapped securely around my waist. How in the name of Merlin did we end up in this position?! Then I remembered how we had fallen asleep against each other. Should I try and get free? No, I'll end up waking him. Besides I'm quite comfy.

I sighed to myself, I mean he's good looking, strong, funny and I've only known him for a few days and I had to admit that being in this position was actually rather warm and comfy, I've never slept that well in ages and I just realised that for the first time in a while I didn't wake up from a terrible nightmare. I mentally shook those thoughts from my head as I felt Paul move slightly. I sighed in relief when I saw that his eyes were still closed.

"Morning." Said Paul, his voice rugged from sleep. His eyes were still closed but I could see the smirk that was forming on his lips.

"Morning." I whispered back. I could feel myself beginning to blush now.

"Comfy?" He asked grinning.

"Slightly." I lied, I was in fact incredibly comfy, the comfiest I've been in ages.

"If you were only 'slightly' comfy then why didn't you move or go up to your bed?" He asked still grinning.

"I would've but you had quite a strong hold on me, in fact you still do." I said indicating to his arms that were still wrapped securely around my waist.

"Oh. Sorry." He said. He began to release his hold on me as he began to blush from embarrassment but I grabbed his arm stopping him from letting go.

"No don't move. I'm comfy." I said before I could stop myself. He grinned and tightened his hold on me again.

"I thought you said you were only 'slightly' comfy?" Asked Paul smirking.

"I lied. So what?" I replied smiling.

"If it helps that was the best night sleep I've had in ages." Said Paul.

"Me too. Normally I wake up screaming from a nightmare but this morning I didn't." I said. Wow, since when did I tell anyone about my nightmares?!

"What are they about?" Asked Paul as he looked down at me worriedly.

"The wizarding war. I've watched so many people I grew up with die. But the main nightmare I have is when I got tortured by a witch called Bellatrix Lestrange. She used the torturing curse on me and also used a cursed dagger to carve jagged scars into my skin. I still have all of the scars and because the dagger was cursed the scars will never disappear. But the worst part was when she... when she killed my parents in front of me." I said struggling with the last part. A single tear rolled down my cheek and just when I was about to look away so Paul couldn't see me cry he reached up and turned my face to look at his. He wiped the tears away with his thumbs and pulled me in for a hug. I smiled as I hugged him back tightly.

"Listen 'Mione, I know that you've been through a hell of a lot especially for someone so young. And I know that there's nothing I can do or say to bring your friends and family back but I just want you to know that if you ever need to talk or if you just need a hug or shoulder to cry on I'm always here for you." Said Paul.

"Thank you, Paul. I'm so glad that I met you, you're the best." I said as I kissed his cheek before hugging him again.

*Paul's POV*

"Thank you, Paul. I'm so glad that I met you, you're the best." Said Hermione. She pulled back from the hug and kissed my cheek before hugging me again. I couldn't help but grin. SHE KISSED ME! Well, it was only on the cheek... but still!!!!

"I'm going to go and get dressed. If you go in the kitchen, Kreacher should be making breakfast." Said Hermione.

"Okay." I replied. She gently climbed off of me and walked out of the room. I smiled to myself before I stood up and walked out of the living room and into the kitchen where Hermione's house elf, Kreacher, was placing two plates of sausage, bacon, eggs, tomatoes and toast on to the table.

"Here you go sir." Said Kreacher as he indicated to o n e of the plates that looked as though it had a lot more food on it than the other. I guess Hermione told him about a shapeshifters appetite.

"Thanks Kreacher." I said as I sat down and began to tuck in to the delicious food. Seriously this food is wonderful. I need to get a house elf if they cook like this all the time.

"Good morning Kreacher." Said Hermione as she walked in and sat down opposite me.

"Good morning Mistress! Would you like a calming potion for your nightmare?" Asked Kreacher.

"No thank you Kreacher. I didn't actually have a nightmare last night." Replied Hermione as she glanced at me briefly causing me to smile.

"That's good news Mistress! Kreacher is happy for Mistress." Said Kreacher. "By the way, Mr Harry Potter told me to tell you that he is going to visit you tomorrow morning at ten o'clock instead of this evening."

"Okay thank you, Kreacher." Said Hermione as she smiled at the elf.

"Do you need anything else, Mistress?" Asked Kreacher.

"No thank you, Kreacher." Replied Hermione. Kreacher bowed before disappearing with a 'crack'.

"I really need to get a house elf for myself." I said as I smiled at Hermione.

"Yeah, I've had Kreacher for just over a year now. He used to belong to Harry's godfather, Sirius, but Harry and Sirius both insisted that I bring Kreacher here with me." Said Hermione.

"Wow, at least you have lots of people looking out for you." I said.

"Yeah but they all live in England. That's why I'm glad to have people like you, Chloe and the rest of the pack here." Said Hermione.

"Thanks. I'm really glad you moved here, well apart from nearly getting killed twice." I replied.

"I'm glad I moved here as well." Said Hermione as she looked at me whilst smiling slightly. Her smile made my heart literally jump in my chest and I couldn't help but smile back at her.

"So, are you doing anything today?" I asked.

"Well, I can't visit Chloe because we aren't allowed to visit her today and I'm not seeing Harry until tomorrow. So I have no plans today, why do you ask?" Replied Hermione.

"Well, I wanted to know if you'd want to hang out with me today?" I asked.

"And do what exactly?" Replied Hermione.

"Well, I know how much you love running, so we could go for a run in the woods or on the beach?" I asked. "And later Emily, Sam's fionce, has invited us to a barbeque at her house."

"I'd love to. I just have to go and get changed into my jogging stuff." She replied smiling sweetly at me.

"Great! I'll wait for you in the living room." I said.

"Okay, I'll be back in a few minutes." Said Hermione before she stood up and quickly left the room. I couldn't help but grin at the thought of spending the whole day with my beautiful imprint. I realised that I still had to come up with a way of telling her that she's my imprint. I guess I'd just tell her when the time feels right.

I walked into the living room and after a minute Hermione walked in. She was wearing a pair of black running shorts, a grey t-shirt and some running shoes. Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail and her wand was sticking out of her pocket. I couldn't help but let my eyes linger on her long, smooth legs before I snapped out of it and smiled at her.

"You ready to go?" She asked.

"Yeah let's go." I said.

We walked out of the front door and walked straight over to the forest path.

"Do you want to go through the forest to the beach?" I asked.

"Yeah sure." She replied smiling before she began to jog into the forest. I grinned at her before I began following.

We ran through the forest having a great conversation about Hermione's childhood and about Hogwarts she also asked me a lot of questions about myself and I answered them in as much detail as I could. I wanted her to know everything about me just as I wanted to know everything about her.

We finally made it to the beach and slowed down so we were walking. Hermione stopped suddenly and sat down on the sand. I sat down next to her and smiled when she leaned against my shoulder. I suddenly felt the urge to go into the water. Smirking, I jumped up and grabbed Hermione's hand and pulled her towards the water with me.

"No. No. No. You are not going to get me soaked!" She said whilst smiling widely as she tried to pull away. I grinned evily and in one swift movement I wrapped one arm around her waist whilst I slid my other arm under her legs and lifted her off of the ground with ease.

She shrieked and began struggling as I began walking into the water until the water reached my waist.

"Don't you dare!" She warned. I grinned widely before I dropped her into the water. As soon as she emerged from under the water she immediately began to glare at me before she began to splash me like crazy. I laughed and began to splash her back. She began to walk into the shallower water but I soon realised that she was slowly trying to get back on the dry sand. I went up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her backwards. She struggled free and pushed me backwards playfully but I ended up falling backwards into the water, pulling Hermione down with me. She landed on top of me and we began laughing like crazy. I looked up at her and I suddenly felt myself leaning forwards as she did the same. I kissed her. It was very brief but I felt like I was on fire (in a good way of course). She pulled back and smiled down at me just as I grinned up at her.
