A/N: Kai, sorry about the inconvenience of this but I'm going to try and get the chapters back up as quickly as possible. I deleted the original because I read through it and got a bit frustrated at how fast they fell in love and some mistakes I made that moosed it up. But I know a lot of people liked it, and therefore I was a bit of a moose for deleting it. Must not let some reviews get to me this time . So, if you review and you're not liking how fast they fall in love, please don't bother mentioning it, cos i already know. Please keep in mind that this was my first story, and therefore does not reflect my best writing ability. Please don't review if you hate it because it makes me sad and frustrated and unhappy with myself. Especially one of the last ones that included the words: You haven't got the writing ability to make a good story or make it work. Epic Fail.
It seriously hurts my feelings.
And i'm also naffed off because i've now lost the around 60 reviews i had on the original . man, i annoy myself sometimes.
But enough of my stupidly long rambling, i hope you enjoy and remember, i don't own anything apart from the plot. XD

Chapter 1

Hermione groaned as the small bird flew in circles round her head. It was tweeting as if it thought it was an alarm clock, which was the point. She groped around on the bedside table for her wand, found it, and pointed it at the bird and whispered, "Silencio."

It immediately shut its beak and perched itself on the headboard, peering down at Hermione suspiciously as if to say, "You gonna get up then?"

She sat up and swivelled round to sit on the edge of the bed, running a hand through her hair, she yawned sleepily. The bird looked satisfied as Hermione stood up and wandered down to the common room.

Hermione sauntered down the stone steps into the cosily lit room. The fire was crackling happily and all the paintings were still in a state of slumber. She curled herself up in the biggest armchair and enjoyed the soft warmth emitting from the flames.

Just as she closed her eyes to mull over some thoughts, Hermione heard lazy footsteps on the stairs and looked round the chair to see who the intruder was.

She identified the scruffy, bright ginger hair and the knitted sweater, "Oh, Ron."

"Huh, that's the greeting I get is it?" said Ron hurtfully.

"Oh, sorry. Hello Ronald, how are you this fine morning?" Hermione replied, a smirk playing across her lips.

He landed on the sofa in front of the fire.

"Hmph, alright I s'pose."

"Well there must be something terribly wrong Ronald."

"What makes you think that?" asked Ron.

"Have you seen the time? It's bad for you to be up this early!"

"Oh, shush Hermione; I couldn't get back to sleep after Pidwigeon started screeching."

"I'm sorry." She put on a solemn face which eventually broke into a giggle.

Ron smiled sarcastically, "Keep laughing while you can, you're gonna be the one who has to cope with me later when I get grumpy."

Hermione immediately stopped her jokes as she remembered how bad Ron could get when he was grumpy.

After a moments silence, Hermione declared that she had to go and get dressed ready for breakfast and that Ron should too, at which point they both climbed the stairs and parted ways at the top.

A while later Hermione met Ron in the Great Hall. He'd managed to raise Harry from his bed and bring him along too. They sat opposite Ginny, Fred and George at the Gryffindor table. The twins were busily discussing experimental new ingredients for the Skiving Snackboxes, while Ginny was engrossed in a book.

Ginny looked up as the three sat down.

"Hi, Harry!" She greeted him with a slight smile, "Hi Ron, Hermione."

"Hi!" they replied one after the other.

"Hi!" said Fred and George in unison, before going back to their previous discussion.

Over breakfast, they all talked about their upcoming day. Hermione, Harry and Ron had Potions first, then Transfiguration, Charms, followed by double Herbology after lunch. Ginny had Herbology first, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, Charms and Magical Creatures.

Hermione, Harry and Ron dawdled on their way to Potions, none of them wanted to go anywhere near Professor Snape and his greasy locks.

"Hey, I just need to go to the toilet," said Harry as he stopped by the lavatories.

"Yeah, alright, see you there mate," replied Ron.

Hermione and Ron made the rest of the journey quietly, on the odd occasion muttering something to each other about the day and what to expect in Potions. Groaning audibly as they drew close to the doorway, they looked at each other and reluctantly entered.
