Harry ran through the barrier that led to Hogwarts Express. He waited by the train, hoping to see Ron and Hermione soon. But instead he saw Cho. "Cho! Over here!" He yelled. Cho looked at him, and left her cart by the wall. She walked towards Harry. "Hi." She said sweetly. Harry blushed a little bit, just realizing what he did. "H-hi. Cho. H-how are you?"
Cho smiled. "Fine. Oh, there's Chelsey. Got to run!" She ran off. Harry then saw Ron and Hermione come out of the barrier. "Ron, Hermione! Over here!" They saw him and ran up to him, hugging him tightly. "Come on! Let's go!" Ron said, pulling the both of them onto the train. They sat in their usual compartement at the back.
They talked about Hogwarts, Quidditch and the new year ahead of them. But then Malfoy stepped in. "Well, well. The same compartment and the same people." "Get out, Malfoy." Harry said. Draco put on his famous evil smirk. "Oh, watch out! Potter's threatening me! Ah!" He said sarcastically. Ron growled. "Get out now, or I'll hex you--" He stopped in his sentance, just noticing that Crabbe and Goyle weren't with Draco.
"You? Weasley? Haha! Yeah right. The only thing you could do was give me a bruise." He said. "Where are your friends?" Ron asked him in a teasing kind of voice. "What? What friends? Oh, you must mean Crabbe and Goyle. They went to Durmstrang. Anyway--" "Get out, Malfoy!" Hermione yelled.
"Make me." He said. "I'll make you, you little--" Ron stood up but then a blast of light came from behind Draco and he fell into their compartment. Behind him were Fred and George. They had their wands in their hands. "Thought we'd see what he was up to." Draco got up. "What do you think you're bloody doing?!" "Making sure an ugly face like yours doesn't go bothering people." Fred said.
Ron chuckled and so did Harry. Hermione just pushed Draco out of the compartment and locked the door. "Do you think we should change into our robes? We'll be arriving in a few hours." She asked. "Sure." Harry said. They all left to their appropriate washroom and changed. Harry finished first and then saw Cho. "Hey, Harry. Come on in and join me and my friends." She said.
Harry smiled. "Ok." He followed them into her compartment. He saw a bunch of fourth years, but he was only a third year. (A/N: This is just going to be a normal school year. No Sirius, no nothing.) "Harry, this is Chelsey, this is Rosey and...you know me." She said, introducing Harry. "Hi." He said.
"Wow, Cho, you actually got the famous Harry Potter into our compartment." Rosey said. "I was...er...kind of bored anyway." Harry said.
*
"Where's Harry?" Hermione asked Ron when he came into the compartment. "I don't know. Wasn't it your turn to watch him?" Ron asked. "He was changing with you." Hermione said, rolling her eyes. "I'm going to go look for Harry. Be back in a few." Ron said, leaving. He walked to every compartment and then finally found them. He knocked on their compartment door.
Harry opened it. "Oh. Hi, Ron." "What're you doing?! Me and Hermione were worried!" Ron said. "Oh, calm down. I was just here with Cho--" "Cho? That popular quidditch girl you like?" Ron asked. "Ssh! Keep your voice down. Uh, Cho, I got to go." Harry said. Cho and the girls waved at Harry and they left to their compartment.
"Harry, did you even think about us?" "Ron, listen. If I didn't talk talk to her, she might think I'm a loser!" Harry said. "A loser? Blimey, Harry! You're the boy who lived!" Ron said. "You found him!" Hermione burst out, when they came in. "So what if I'm the boy who lived?" Harry continued. Hermione sighed and decided to leave them to their conversation.
*
After their first week at Hogwarts, the trio decided to have a belate birthday party for Harry. "We're having it tomorrow, Harry. Don't forget now. Right after classes end at 4:00." Hermione said. Harry nodded and left to the library to do his homework. Hermione had already finished her homework.
The next day Harry was starting to make his way to the common room for his party when Cho walked up to him. "Hey, Harry. Come join me and my friends in the trophy room. Stay for just a few minutes of chatting." "I'm sorry, but I kind of have to go somewhere." Harry said. "Oh, come on. Just a few minutes? It'll be fun." She said.
"Ok. Just a few minutes." Harry said and followed her. They started to chat....and chat....and chat. Cho used a spell to make music play. Harry and Cho started to dance together to rock music.
*
"Where's Harry?" Hermione asked Ron. "I don't know. You think he's off with Cho again?" Ron asked. "Probably. Come on, let's go check the trophy room." Hermione replied.
*
Everyone started to dance to the rock music. "This is great!" Harry yelled. Cho smiled. "Yeah." She yelled back. Harry stopped dancing when he saw Hermione and Ron enter the room. He ran off to them, leaving a hurt Cho. Hermione walked off, slightly crying. "Hermione!" Harry yelled. "Harry. What happened to you?" Ron asked. "Nothing." Harry replied.
"No, Hermione likes you, she really really likes you." Ron said. "Forget it, Harry. Go on in, and continue your party." He started to walk away. "Wait!" Harry yelled. "You know what? I-I've been waiting. Now I'm leaving." Ron said. He walked and away. Harry ran up to Ron and grabbed his shoulder. Ron moved his shoulder out of Harry's grip.
Harry stared at the floor while slowly and sadly walking back to the common room. Someone crashed into him. "Ow!" They both yelled. Harry stood up and groaned. He looked at the ground and saw Malfoy gathering his books and parchments. "Watch where you're going next time." Malfoy said as soon as he finished gathering his stuff.
Draco punched Harry in the shoulder and left to the dungeon. Harry reached the common room and Hermione and Ron were on the couch together, discussing how much Harry disappointed them. Percy walked up to Harry. "Well Harry, it seems that you're not a very good friend to Hermione OR my brother." He said.
Harry shoved Percy into the wall and walked to Hermione and Ron. "Harry, I know Ron told you I like you. I wanted to say that before, but when you sent me a letter of how babyish I was when I cried, you said I was like a six year old. Well, if dancing with a hot ravenclaw student is more important then your friends, then forget it.
Harry, you know I like you, and now that I know that you hate me and like Cho, I just want to say that loving you as a boy is really hard to loving you as a friend. Ditching your friends for some girl and toying with friendships just led me to one question to ask you. 'Now who's the six year old?' " Hermione then walked to the girls' bedroom, slightly crying.
The whole common room was listening to this and all Fred could say was "Ouch." Collin looked at Harry and threw his camera to the floor, breaking the silence. He walked to the boys' bedroom and started ripping his posters and pictures of Harry. Ron stood up. "I'm with her. And if it were my choice, I would ask Dumbledore to be re-sorted." Ron ran out of the common room, leaving all teh Gryffindors staring at Harry.
Oliver walked up to the quidditch team, except Harry and they whispered a few things. "Harry, the team wants you out." Oliver said. Harry gasped and just left to the bedroom. He jumped into bed and closed the four posters.
The next morning when he got up and went to brush his teeth, Ron too was brushing his teeeth. He spit out the toothpaste. "Oh, it's you." "Listen, Ron--" Harry couldn't say more. Ron rinsed his mouth and ran out. Harry sat down for breakfast and everybody sat far away from him. **That's it. I am still going to be Harry, but in a different way.** He thought.
After breakfast Harry told Cho that he couldn't stand her and he walked up to Malfoy. "Hey, Malfoy. You know during the first year you asked if I could become your friend?" Harry asked. "Yeeeahhh...." Draco said slowly. "Well, I accept." Harry said. Draco turned and faced Harry. "On one condition, you never be nice to your 'friends' again." Draco held out his hand waiting for Harry to shake.
Harry thought for a moment, **they treated me badly...** He shook Draco's hand.
