The Hogwarts Express pulls up and the awaiting kids start boarding. Harry, Ron and Hermione walk slowly towards the train not one looking back to Hogwarts. This year was by far the worst for the trio. Dumbledore died, he was killed by Snape of all people.

Once on the train they found a empty compartment. They were silent for awhile thinking of the past year and the next one to come. Hermione was frightened for her parents since she was "Harry Potters muggleborn best friend". Ron was thinking of his family how his dad worked for the ministry and all the rest of the weasley bunch. Harry was thinking of a plan.

After the train started moving and the people in the compartments around them were settled. Harry leaned forward " i'm not going back to the dursleys"

"What? Harry you have to remember what Dumbledore said?" Hermione says surprised.

"Where would you go mate?" Ron puts in sensing a plan.

"Dumbledores gone, Hermione. The one person no one though would be die, died. Who knows who will be next? We have to do something we have to start fighting back." He says sadly. " we cant come back next year. Hogwarts isn't safe anymore. I'm going to setup headquarters again. I'm going to get the order together and start fighting back."

Hermione and Ron sit there for a moment taking in what Harry told them. "it's the truth" Hermione thinks to herself, thinking of ways this plan could work.

"I'm in. now where shall we start?"

"Hermione are you sure?" Harry asks carefully.

"Positive." She says simply, looking over at ron waiting for him to answer.

"you know me mate, been following your crazy plans for years not about to stop now." He says after a moment.

"good now heres what we will do." He says leaning forward futher and explaining his plan in full.

By the time the train arrived at kings cross station the trio had most everything planned out. Harry was to go to the Dursleys for a couple of days, long enough to convince them that he would get a safe house together for them to move to.

Hermione would go home to do some research and see her parents for a few days. Then her and Harry would go to Grimmauld Place and start filling the order in and get the house cleaned a bit.

Ron would join them later after he filled in the Weasleys and while carrying on like normal for awhile before they would close the Burrow and move to Grimmauld.

Harry and Hemrione agreed to meet at Grimmald Place 5 days later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione was packing in her room all the things she thought they would need. She had had her clothes packed and ready to go since the day before but she kept having problems deciding which books she would need.

She knew Grimmauld Place had a library but she never got to look through it fully, so she didn't know what all they had. Finally she decided just to take everything she thought she would need, better to have more than not enough.

Sighing she went downstairs to talk to her parents, they weren't happy that she was leaving just 5 days after she got home. she was leaving tomorrow morning and figured she better spend her last night with her parents.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She apparated to a place just down the street from number 12. She walked to the house slowly looking around. She didn't see anyone suspicious, just a few people walking dogs or jogging. She reached the door and with a moments hesitation and a last look around she went in.

It hadn't changed a bit, a little more dust on everything but that about it. She was careful not to wake Mrs. Black as she made her way to the kitchen. She was a bit early so she thought she'd look around while she waited for Harry.

She was surprised when she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to find Harry already there. He was cleaning the kitchen table and counters and was obviously thinking pretty hard since he hadn't noticed her yet. After watching him for a moment she decided to make her presence known.

"Harry." She called, no answer he really was deep in thought.

"Harry!" she called louder finally getting his attention. He jumped when he heard her and then seeing who it was smiled and came forward to hug her.

"Hey didn't expect you so soon. How'd your parents take the news, I hope they weren't too mad." He said after pulling back from the hug.

"They didn't like it but they understood." She said simply, looking around.

"So Rons told the rest of the Weasleys and they are spreading the word around to the order members and I talked to Luna and Neville before we left Hogwarts, they will let the DA members know. Theres going to be a meeting on Friday for the order members, and another on Monday for the DA members. That gives us about a week to get this place cleaned up. " Harry says smiling.

"when are you going to let the order members know you plan on having a bunch of underaged wizards involved in everything.?" Hermione asks, thinking of how the three of them are going to have a hard time convincing the order members.

"I'm going to have a joint meeting the week after the initial meetings and let them battle it out." He says shrugging.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They spend the rest of the day cleaning. They got the kitchen, a bathroom and 3 of the bedrooms done. Hermione planned to get to the library the next day.

They each picked a clean bedroom and settled their stuff in. they made a small supper in the kitchen from the replentishing stores in the pantry. Then settled at the table with a cup of tea and talked of old times at Hogwarts and summers at the Burrow, neither brought up the future or what was to come. They would have to face that in the weeks to come. That night they thought of good things.

"I'm going to get some sleep now Harry, I'll see you in the morning." Hermione said rising to put her cup in the sink.

"ok I am too" He said standing up. They both made their way to the second floor landing. Hermione reached her door and instead of going in, turned and come face to face with Harry.

"goodnight" she said softly, catching his eyes. They were deep green and she felt herself beginning to stare. She looked away blushing, thankful it was dark.

"goodnight Hermione" he replied quietly. They were standing pretty close, close enough he could almost touch her. He slowly leaned forward and tilted her chin up so that she would make eye contact. She looked up at him wide eyed almost holding her breath.

what was she doing? She thought to herself. This is Harry my best friend, why am I all nervous all of the sudden.

"are you ok Hermione?" he asks concerned.

"yeah I'm fine, just a lot of thoughts running through my head. I'll be fine" she says quickly. "goodnight" she adds and goes into her room and shuts the door.

After a minute or two Harry went into his room across the hall.

She leaned against the closed door mentally kicking herself. How could she not have noticed that she was attracted to Harry? Well she was never really alone with him they were always with Ron or the rest of the Weasleys.

She changed into PJ pants and a tank top and got into bed. she knew she wasn't going to be able to sleep because she was bursting with thoughts and wished she could talk to Harry. She was thinking of the upcoming war and there plans and had all the questions and suggestions, but mostly she was thinking how she hadn't noticed how attractive Harry was.

So tell me what you think its only the beginning so it will get better, review please 
