God she's so beautiful, how come we didn't get together before now? What a waste of 7 years.

Ron was staring at his new girlfriend hermione while she read through Hogwarts: A history for what he thought must be nearing the 500th time.

"Ron," Hermione interrupted his thoughts " Don't stare at me while I read, you know it puts me off"

Ron just smiled and continued to stare.

They were sitting in the gryffindor common room once again. Professor McGonagall (the new headmistress) had let all the students who wanted to come back and repeat the year just been, again. Hermione of course signed up at once, Ron did so only to be with her and harry missed the castle so much that he couldn't say no, and also returned. Ginny was now in the same year as harry as she did end up attending most of the previous year.

Just as Hermione opened her mouth to scold Ron again the portrait of the fat lady opened and Harry, Ginny and Neville climbed into the room. Harry and Ginny with big grins on their faces, And Neville looking like he wished he could crawl under a rock and stay there till the upcoming conversation ended.

"What are you guys so happy about?" Hermione asked, marking her page and putting down her book.

"Guess what we just found Neville and Luna doing in the room of requirement" Ginny asked

Ron smiled, "So you to finally got together then did you?" he asked

Neville seemed to have found his voice at last and glancing at hermione said, "Like you can talk." Ron turned pink and to change the subject said "hang on … if you two," he pointed at harry and Ginny " Found them in there, erm kissing or what ever they were doing, you must have…" his voice trailed off into nothingness, and it was Ginny's turn to go pink.

Harry Cleared his throat and said very loudly "Its 12, Lunch" Right on cue Ron's stomach growled and he hastily got out of his seat and lead the way to the portrait hole.

After lunch they had herbology with Ravenclaw, they usually had it with Hufflepuff but McGonagall had moved things around this year so that Gryffindor had less classes with Slytheryn. They were in greenhouse 5 repotting on hypno-lilies, lilies that when you weren't paying enough attention to what you were doing hypnotized into doing stupid things. They were 3 to a tray, and it was taking them longer than Professor Sprout would have liked to decide who would go on each tray, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Neville and Luna all being in the same class. They were taking so long that Professor sprout finally came over to them and said, "Hurry up! Hurry up! Look, girls together, boys together. Now that wasn't so bad now was it!" and walked away looking slightly harassed.

Halfway through the lesson Luna started looking a bit dreamy, well more dreamy than usual. She stood up slowly and drifted over to the other side of the room, blew in someone's ear, clucked like a chicken and skipped around the greenhouse twice singing a strange lullaby that no one had ever heard before and sounded like it was in some other language. She than sat back down where she was before and looked confused as to why everyone was laughing at her. Harry was smiling and trying hard not to laugh, Ron was rolling around on the floor with tears running down his cheeks and Neville had a look on his face that was halfway between pain and amusement. Even Professor Sprout was laughing. Ginny however was not, she was smiling, yes but she was telling Luna what had happened. When she finished everyone was silent, How would she react? She looked around the greenhouse and let out a great scream of laughter, "Clucked like a chicken!" Neville looked like he might faint.
