Sitting down on the soft red benches and looking at the off white small compartment brought back many memories for each of them Harry began thinking about the first day.
"A baby blue, red haired freckled face boy named Ron and a black haired green eyed boy named Harry were on soft red benches sitting in a small off white colored compartment with a big clear window that portrays what is outside. Above the window there is a long black net to hold all the heavy brown trunks. They were in the Hogwarts Express. They were both wearing muggle clothing. Harry was wearing a long sleeve dark blue shirt and blue denim jeans. Opposite him sat Ron wearing a orange hand me down shirt and holey blue denim jeans. They had been talking and had just introduced their self.
"Hi, I'm Ron Weasly said the red haired boy sitting across from Harry.
"I'm Harry Potter replied the black messed haired boy.
"Wow, really can I see your scar?" asked Ron
"Sure, said Harry as he lifted his small white left hand and pushed his black messy hair away, there it was the famous scar in the left corner of his head. It showed in a bright white lightening shape against his tan forehead. After letting his black hair fall back into place he continued chatting with Ron until the large brown compartment door slide open. There stood the most beautiful girl Ron had ever seen. She had shoulder length brown bush hair with deep chocolate brown eyes she was already wearing their dark blue floor length robes for school. The girl walked in and introduced herself.
"Hi, my name is Hermione Granger." Spoke Hermione confidently.
The flash back ended and Harry was again sitting in the off white colored compartment with his best friends Hermione and Ron. They had been so excited to return to Hogworts after the down fall of Lord Voldemort. Hermione couldn't wait to return she wanted to go the library and study for their exams W.E.F.S. They would be having this year. There had been no time to study so she would study extra hard this year. The last summer had been full of heartache and healing. Hermione then began thinking about last summer. Her mind wondered away.
The summer had begun with the loss of many fellow order member, teachers and friends. The war to end all war had kicked off the summer. Ron, Harry and Hermione had just returned from the long old hunt around the world to find seven horcruxes or pieces of his sole to destroy Lord Voldemort. Arriving back at the old magical castle they noticed that the War had all ready begun. Harry had said he needed to go into the deep dark forbidden forest to locate Voldemort and destroy him once and for all. While Ron and Hermione had joined the other teachers, students and order members in the gray old fashioned castle shooting spells left and right at the dark black-hooded death eaters.
The battle had been only a part of the grief there also had been many funerals they had attend for family and friends. While Hermione continued thinking about the intense battle of Hogworts Ron's mind returns to the funeral of a special person, his red haired funny older brother Fred.
On this particular day the golden yellow sun was shining high up in the crystal blue clear sky, there weren't any white fluffy clouds in the blue sky for miles upon miles. The brown tattered burrow had been cleaned inside out and was sparkling in the bright yellow sun light. In the big green grass covered yard held hundreds of black stiff chairs for Freds funeral .There was a big black stage facing the back hard chairs. During the Funeral Ron had gotten on the stage and spoke about his brother. Ron began.
"Fred was a great brother, He would always pick on me because I'm the youngest boy. He loved playing jocks on his friends and family. Fred and George had opened a Joke shop in Diagon Alley which had become very popular. He loved working with his brother. I will miss my brother dearly. I loved him. With that Ron stepped off the long black stairs and back to his seat.
Ron, Harry and Hermione sat quietly in their compartments reminiscing the past when the large brown compartment door opened and a tall thin brown haired guy walked in wearing a bright green shirt and blue jeans. He walked up to Ron then Hermione and handed them a white piece of parch -ment before exiting the compartment. Ron looked at Hermione and Harry they were both as surprised as he was. Slowly he opened the envelope with his large white hands and pulled the small white piece of paper out. It read:
Mr. Weasly
You have been chosen to be a Perfect this school year. Please report to the meeting compartment at the end of the train for a meeting immediately after receiving this letter.
Professor McGonagall
Ron looked up from his letter and smiled he began to speak.
"I just got excepted to be a Perfect "said Ron with a lot of enthusiasm.
"That's awesome" Ron replied Harry.
"Congrats Ron, I got in too". Spoke Hermione
"Well that's obvious Hermione you deserve to be a perfect. "Replied Ron.
Hermione just that their and her cheeks turned a shade of pink but no one noticed.
"Yeah that's good". Said Harry
"Well we better go" said Hermione
"Why" asked Harry
"We have a meeting about Perfect stuff" said Ron
"Okay" said Harry "see you guys later"
Ron and Hermione stood up and walked out the small compartment and down the hall. Harry was left all alone. He decided to stare out the big clear window.
When the compartment door slowly started to open and a person came through.
While Ron and Hermione walked down the long thin hallways of the train. They finally reached the meeting room and Ron reached out a large white hand and opened the brown compartment door for Hermione then walked inside himself. Inside, the room was full of eight students two from each house. They all sat on the red long benches waiting for the meeting to start. Hermione and Ron found two empty seats in the corner and occupied them. The room was the same as all the other compartments. It too was a off-white color on the walls, red long benches and a big window. Just then Professor McGonagall turned around and faced the students. She wore a long dark green cloak that touched the light brown wood floor. She began to speak.
"Welcome Students as you all know you are here because you have been nominated as the new Perfects for this school year. With this job comes responsibility like guarding the corridors a half an hour after the curfew to make sure no one sneaks out".
At this she turned and looked at Ron and Hermione for a quick second no one seemed to notice. But Rons ears turned a slight pink color and Hermione just blushed a little.
" You will all help the first years in your houses get use to the school and help guide them to classes. Here are your badges. You have a special job and need to show a good example for the other students." Said McGongall. She moved over to each student and handed them a square silver patch that pinned to their robes.
" Return to your compartments and when we arrive at Hogworts help the first years" stated McGongall.
Ron and Hermione got up from the benches and headed for the compartment door. The rest of the students had the same idea. The small room was completely crowed with boys and girls pushing to get through the brown wooden compartment door. Finally Ron and Hermione reached the door and headed out.
In the mean time Ginny had appeared in the small compartment that Ron and Hermione had abandoned Harry in. She had her dark blue long school robes on already. Her long red beautiful hair gracefully laid about her shoulders and her light blue eyes looked happily at Harrys bright green ones. Ginny walked in to the compartment and took a seat across from a shocked tan faced harry.
" Hi" she said
" Hi replied Harry
" How was your summer? Ginny asked
Aunt and Uncle did their own thing. I was in my room thinking about the War and the past events. What about you? Harry replied.
" Well we have been trying to get through the loss of Fred. Ron and I played a little bit of qwidditch in the big green back yard" answered Ginny. There is something else that I came in here for
Well in your sixth year we started dating and then when you had to go fight Voldemort you broke it off. Well I was wondering … um.. if there was still …. If u still .. u know ….like me. " asked Ginney . She barely finshed speaking when Harry got up from his seat and walked across the small compartment and kissed Ginny softly on her small pink lips. She returned the kiss with the same passion and love. They broke off and Harry asked.
" Will you be my girlfriend again?" nervously asked Harry
" yes, I would love to." Replied Ginny as she wrapped her long thin arms around his shoulders for a hug. He responded by putting his long strong arms around her small waist.
Ron and Hermione were walking back down the small thin hallways of the train when out of no where Lavender popped up.
" Hey Won-Won" spoke Lavender
" Hi Lavender How are you? asked Ron politely
" Im fine, Do you want to come to my compartment?."
" sure . said Ron As Ron was being pulled away from Hermione by the small hand of lavender brown. Hermione just continued down the hall to return to Harry. When she arrived Ginny and Harry were talking in the compartment. The door opened and each looked up and said " hi" to Hermione as she walked in. Ginny noticed the trouble look on her face.
Feeling the need to express her concern she revealed her thoughts. She began " Well its Ron, Lavender came up to us as we were walking down the hallway and stole Ron away." Said Hermione. " I don't know its weird ever time I see Ron I get these butterflies in my stomach but when I see him with lavender I feel like attacking her with birds." Confessed Hermione.
"Oh my gosh Hermione you know what this means… You like Ron this is great." Replied Ginny
Confused Hermione asked. "How this great Ron is has a girlfriend and he could never like me. He doesn't even notice me." Said Hermione
"That's it Hermione he does like you he always has. When he comes home from breaks you are all he talks about. Mostly its about the fights but still."
"Wow this is great, but what about Lavender? Asked Hermione
"Why don't you go and tell him how you feel! Said Harry
"That's a great idea! But he is with Lavender now. Spoke Hermione.
"wait till you are in the common room Harry and ill send everyone away so you guys can talk." Replied Ginny
In a different compartment was Lavender and Ron. Ron had decided that he didn't want to date Lavender any more but couldn't seem to find the words. They were sitting in a compartment side by side Lavender was holding Rons big tan hand in her small white one. Several minutes of silence had come between them. Ron decided to break it.
" Lavender there has been something that I have been wanting to say to you for awhile. Our relationship is not working. We don't have much in common at all and I want more than just a girl to snog with in a relationship. So its over. Good bye." Said Ron
"why are you leaving me?" asked Lavender
"Because there is someone else that I care about that needs me. Replied Ron
"You will pay for this Ron. You wait and see." Shouted Lavender as Ron exited the compartment and headed for the one he and his friends had occupied earlier. Finally arriving at the compartment Ron opened the brown wood door and saw Hermione, Harry and Ginny talking. Ron came in and sat next to Hermione. Ginny immediately stopped talking to Hermione and whispered something softly into Harrys ear then quickly exited the room. Harry followed at her heels like a puppy. Once the compartment door slid close silence fell upon the room. Ron finally began to speak.
"So uh…Hermione looking forward to the school year? "Ron asked
" Yes, Ronald I am!" Hermione stated.
"That's great!!" replied Ron
"Yeah why don't u go snog your girlfriend Ronald I bet its more fun than talking to me." Said Hermione
Rons ears instantly turned red at the tips Hermione had turned around and now was staring out the cold clear window. Full of anger Ron yelled at Hermione
"Y would you even say that we have been best friends forever ?" asked Ron.
"Obviously, snogging Lavender had become a important part of your life. Why waste time talking to me when u could be with lavender." Shouted Hermione
"Well fine if that's the way u want it to be ill leave." Said Ron as he turned his back to Hermione and quickly headed out the compartment door. Harry and Ginny saw Ron leave. Worried expression etched their faces.
"Ill go talk to Ron" said harry
"Yeah and I will talk to Hermione" replied Ginny as she leaned in a kissed Harrys soft pink lips. He responded with the same amount of passion and love. After several minutes had passed they finally broke apart and went to their separate destinations. Ginny opened the compartment door and found Hermione sitting on the red benches with her knees up to her chest and her long white arms wrapped around them staring out the clear, rainy window. Ginny walked into the compartment and sat next to Hermione. She looked up at Ginny tear coming down her beautiful white face. Ginny wrapped her arms around Hermione and held her for a couple minutes. Then decided to ask her what had happened
"Hermione what happened between u and Ron?" Asked Ginny conserned for her friend.
"Well Ron came in and we started talking about school. Then Lavender Brown came in to the subject and we both got angry ."Replied Hermione.
" Oh" said Ginny "Why are u crying though"
"Because Ron and I are always fighting and I cant stand it." Said Hermione.
"Im sorry Hermione "said Ginny
"Me too. He always seems to know how to make me cry." Said Hermione
Harry walked down the long hallway and looked into every compartment. Each were full of eager students talking with their friends about their summers and the battle of Hogworts. As Harry walked by some students would stare at him while others said "Hi Harry" Finally Harry found Ron in the last compartment all alone. Harry walked in and returned around to look at him.
"Hey Ron what happened between you and Hermione?" Harry asked
"Well after are meeting Lavender came up to me and dragged me away from Hermione. She looked angry at me. Then when I came to talk to her u and Ginny left and we started talking about school and Lavender came up she yelled at me saying y spend time with me why don't u go snog lavender." Said Ron
"Ouch man Im sorry" stated Harry
"Yeah, I ended it with Lavender ." said Ron
"That's great man! "Said Harry
"Yeah but what about Hermione." Stated Ron
"U like her don't u." asked harry
"How did u know ".replied Ron
"Its obvious that u both like each other." Said harry
"Oh should I tell her. I don't want to ruin are friendship or anything" asked Ron
"Yeah u should." Answered Harry
"I don't know stated" Ron
"Y don't u go talk to her now." Offered harry
"She's mad at me I don't want another bird attack ill wait till after the feast." Replied Ron
"Good idea man." Replied harry.
Further down the long noisy hall of the Hogwarts Express, Ginny and Hermione were having the same conversation.
"That's true." Replied Ginny.
"Hermione u know that Ron feels the same way about you!" replied Ginny
"What no he has lavender?" Asked Hermione
"Trust me he does you should talk to him." Stated Ginny
"Okay I will after the feast." Replied Hermione
Yes, thought Ginny they are going to finally get together. They looked out the clear class window and spotted the old, stony castle Hermione thought this is the year everything will change.
