Hey guys! It's the sequel! I appreciate all reviews and trust me, Ashlee isn't a Mary Sue. I just had bad wording in the first author's note okay? Anyway, Another thing I didn't mean I don't like Hermione in general. I love her! I meant I didn't like her in my story. To clear that up as well. Well, here we go. The first chapter is of course the intro. A little bit about her summer and a letter or two. Then there is the reuniting and if I keep going I'll give everything away. :)

Disclaimer: Nothing in this story belongs to me except for Ashlee and a select few original scenes. Yes some characters are a little OOC but I think it helps the story. Especially with our favourite Gryffindor team.

Year Two everybody!

Dear Harry,

Everyone is so worried about you! We've passed the point of formalities. Are your Aunt and Uncle keeping everything away from you? I'd hope so, and it's not just you ignoring everyone. Which I'm certain isn't what's happening. I hope you got all your homework done. Even Ron has! I've been helping him over letters to impress his family that he can do it alone.

Harry, if you get this please right back! Everyone is expecting you at the burrow soon. We're going to have such a nice time. Nice food, the twins will definitely be enough entertainment until school, and of course getting homework done. I've finished but I'm going to assume you haven't.

We miss you.

Ashlee.

I gave the letter to my darling owl, Isis, and let her fly away to Privet drive. Before I even had the chance to stand up another owl flew into my room and dropped a letter. I recognized Errol instantly and he sat there calmly.. I smiled and gave him a friendly scratch on the top of the head.

"Hey little guy, are you thirsty?" I asked sweetly holding out my hand for him to jump onto which he did.

I lead him over to Isis' cage and set him in it without closing the door to let him have some water. I made my way back to my desk and looked at the envelope. It read to Ashlee Longbottom.

Dear Ashlee,

I'm writing to you to tell you what I did last night. I had to rescue Harry. I took my dad's flying car and flew to Privet drive to get Harry because I knew something was wrong. This will be quick because I need to catch up with Harry but he says he hasn't gotten any letters. Weird, anyway, see you soon!

Ron

Errol soon flew away through the window and I walked downstairs to have dinner with Gran and Neville. She had made Hawaiian pizza for dinner and cheese cake for desert. Gran talked about safety when it comes to practising magic and always staying focused on our studies. Neville and I smiled and nodded and could only hope that's all we had to focus on this year. She knew what had happened and was proud of us but apparently us going threw near death experiences gets her a little worried.

"Now, your trunks are ready to go. I've packed your wands, robes, some clothes, all your silly Gilderoy books and of course your new spell book." She smiled sadly. "Another year of school for my two favourite wizards. Last thing you guys need to worry about is your homework. After dinner show me that you've got it done and then put it into your trunks. I don't want you forgetting it Neville."

I laughed as she accused Neville and then stood up to cut everyone a piece of cheesecake.

I laid in bed reading Year Of The Yeti by Gilderoy Lockhart trying to get a jump start on the school year. Even if we don't start with this one I can earn Gryffindor some points by answer questions on the yeti. Good intentions or not we don't need one hundred and fifty points lost again and we most definitely don't need Slytherin decorations again. I heard footsteps in the hallway followed by a hesitant knock on my door. I got up and quickly made my way to the door opening it to see my awkward brothers face at the door.

"Are you okay Neville?" I asked opening my door more for him to come in.

"I'm nervous. Are we going to have a repeat of last year?" Neville asked with an unreadable look on his face.

"Of course not, Quirrell is dead now. Remember?" I asked sitting down on my wooden desk chair.

"I know, but are we going to get involved with something we shouldn't?" Neville asked playing with the bottom of his shirt.

"You know what Neville? Probably." I said handing him the letter that Ron sent me. "Ron's already broken magical rules and we have to back them always so.."

"School hasn't even started yet." Neville complained reading the letter over.

"Well, tomorrow it does, so get your butt into bed. We're going to see everyone again!" I smiled climbing into bed happily.

"Alright, goodnight." Neville said quickly leaving the room.

Before I knew it we were on platform nine and three quarters. Neville and I made our way onto the train looking for our friends. Over the summer I had seen them but not that often. I had gone to a soccer game with Dean and I went to Diagon Alley to complete my mandatory school list with Lavender. We looked down the isle but soon enough we just sat in a chamber that was empty hoping to meet up with them at school. We just sat in silence until three familiar faces popped in the window. Lavender, Dean and Seamus were making funny faces at us before throwing the door open dramatically. Seamus sat himself down right beside me and Dean made himself comfortable next to Neville. Lavender just stood at the door smiling.

"I've missed you." Seamus said directly to me.

"I've missed you too." Neville said sarcastically and everyone laughed.

"Why are you just standing there Lavender?" I chuckled at my odd friend. "There's plenty of room."

"I know, just being visible for the missing three. Ron sent you guys letters too right? About how Harry had bars on his windows?" Lavender explained looking down the isle.

"Yeah, he broke wizarding rules just to save him." Seamus said and it reminded me how much I had missed his accent.

"Where are they anyway? It's 10:59, and we all know when the train leaves." Dean said checking his watch.

"Hey guys!" Parvati said popping up behind Lavender. "I knew you'd all be together, I figured I'd leave Padma to find my other family." She laughed squishing beside Dean.

Lavender sat beside me as the train started to move. We all chatted about our summer and what we did but we couldn't help but be worried about the boys. They had a habit of getting into trouble.

"Gran always assumes I'll forget something, like my homework." Neville whined from his spot in the room.

"Well, did you remember your homework?" Dean asked stretching his arms out.

"Dang it!" Neville shouted jumping out. "I think I forgot my homework!" He yelled looking at me.

"I knew you would. I grabbed it off your desk and put it in my trunk." I calmed him easily.

"Oh, thanks." He said cheerfully sitting down with relief written all over his face.

I got lost in thought when Lavender started talking about courses and Neville started whining about Defence Against The Dark Arts. I began to think about all we've been threw together. Trolls, three headed dogs, la life or death chess game, and deadly riddles. All of those things were conquered by us, the first year going on second year students of Gryffindor. I remembered how mad Seamus got at me for not listening to him when he said not to do anything dangerous. I never wanted that to happen again, so I guess I'll just have to keep up my end of the deal. If I'm about to do anything dangerous with my troublesome boys, Seamus comes too.

"Hey," I heard someone snap and I lost my train of thought. "Welcome back to earth. We're here." Seamus said laughing and holding out his hand for me to pull myself up.

"Funny." I grabbed his hand and blushed when he kept holding onto it after I stood up.

Seamus blushed when he realized that he was still holding my hand and let go quickly. Mumbling sorry and walking beside me. We followed our friends to the castle and I kept looking around for Harry and Ron.

"They'll be at the welcome back feast." Seamus whispered grabbing my sleeve and pulling me along.

But they weren't. Harry and Ron were absent from the feast as well. I looked all down the Gryffindor table and clapped when someone new was sorted in and clapped extra loud for Ginny, Ron's little sister. I got up from my spot on the table and moved down beside Ginny.

"Hey, you remember me from summer right?" I asked her resting my elbow on the table and leaning my cheek against my fist.

"Yeah, you told me all about your journey threw the trapdoor." Ginny smiled remembering.

"Yeah! I was just wondering, have you seen Ron and Harry? I know Harry was with you and Ron was too for obvious reasons but they weren't on the train and they're not here." I said pointing down the table.

"They were with us at the train station." She said confused. "But I never did see them on platform nine and three quarters. "We were really late. I just sat down on the train as it was leaving."

"Okay, thanks Ginny. I'll talk to you later." I said going back to my friends at the table. "I think they missed the train! Ginny said they were late and she just made it but she never saw them get on the train!" I managed to get out before Dumbledore stood up to speak.

After the ceremony and food Parvati and I agreed to go look for the two seemingly elusive boys. We talked as we walked to the Gryffindor tower hoping they'd be in the common room, laughing about how they'd been following us all night. We started up the steps when I saw them standing by the portrait. Parvati and I ran up the steps to them and while I grab Ron's shoulder Parvati grabbed Harry's.

"They're you are!" I said relieved. "There are rumours going all around that you guys flew in that car of your dads here."

"We did. We did fly in my dads car here." Ron said facing us with a bloody eyebrow.

"Why would you do that?" Parvati asked rubbing her temples calmly.

"Wattlebird." I said making the portrait open and I walked through first and the others following my lead.

"We didn't have a choice. The barrier closed and we didn't have time to waste. It was an impulse." Harry said.

Almost everyone in Gryffindor was clouding the common room. Parvati and I just shuffled threw the crowd and up to the second year girls dorm. Lavender sat waiting for us on the edge of her bed. She stood up as soon as we stepped in.

"Well?" She asked looking at us.

"They flew here in that stupid car." I flopped onto my bad and closed my eyes. "All the rumours are true."

"How much do you want to bet your boyfriend Seamus is gushing about it in their dorm." Parvati joked throwing a flavoured bean at me.

"He's not my boyfriend!" I yelled at them letting the bean hit me and bounce onto the floor.

"Okay Crazy." Lavender said turning the light out.
