A lot of things had changed over the summer holidays, for Harry and Hermione. Harry had been working out dramatically and had gotten a new very attractive haircut. His emerald eyes were greener than ever and he had every girl he walked past lusting after him. Hermione had been in Canada with her parents, she had also changed having her hair being straight; she had started becoming a women. School would start in just a few days, and she hadn't spoken, seen, or heard of her two best friends for months. Harry sat in his room, wondering why he hadn't heard from Hermione for months until a very familiar owl appeared at his window. It was the Wesley's bird, which was tapping at the glass window. Harry let the bird in and opened the note of parchment it was carrying.

Hey Harry,

Its Ron mate, how have you been?

I just arrived at the leaky cauldron about two days ago and guess who I bumped into,

Hermione she was in Canada and is extremely sorry that she couldn't send you a message as to where she has been.

Well we both miss you and want you to come here.

Okay well see you soon

Bye Ron.

Harry smiled he was happy that Hermione was safe; he and Ron had been worrying terribly about her. He packed his trunk and ran out of the house, making sure his Uncle, Aunt, and Cousin didn't see as they were out doing a spot of gardening. He walked through the streets wondering if either Ron or hermione had changed over the summer, as he didn't at all, he thought. Finally the Knight Bus had arrived and he told him his location to Stan.

He arrived there in no time; he grabbed his luggage and opened the large black doors to the Leaky cauldron. As he was opening it he bumped into a girl who seemed quite pretty to Harry. "Oh sorry, I didn't see where I was going" She said, "oh it's quite alright" Harry and the girl looked up at each other and stared at each for a small period of time. Harry's emerald eyes locked with the brown-eyed girl as they grinned at each other. "Hermione what are you doing?" The girl turned around to face a red haired boy. "Eh... I bumped into..." She started to stutter. "Harry?" The red haired boy said, bewildered. "Ron? Hi" Harry said. The brown haired girl turned and stared at him. "Harry, oh my how much you have changed" She said. Harry couldn't believe his eyes, it was Hermione he was about to ask for her name she had gotten so pretty. "Hermione, yes and how much you have changed too" he said they both realized his very deep voice that he had gotten over the summer. "Hey guys what about me, have I changed?" Ron said curiously. "Ha, Ron other than getting taller and more freckles your still the same Ron" Harry said. Hermione laughed and they both caught each others eyes and looked away.

"Well Harry we better show you, your room" Hermione led the way and Ron behind Harry, he couldn't believe that he was actually about to ask Hermione out, lucky Ron turned up. They finally reached a room that had the numbers 16 on it. "My age how cool" Harry smiled. They opened the doors to reveal a dark room with a very small window. "Very homey don't you agree" Ron said, Hermione and Harry both chuckled.

"Hermione!!" Oh guys I'll be right back, Mr. Wesley is calling me" She said and left the room. Harry watched the door close. "Wow how much has she changed" Harry said to Ron. Ron looked up "Who?" he said. "Hermione for god's sake she's very err... different" he said, Ron looked at him in a weird way, "Hey Ron I might just change my clothes I mean I have been in these since yesterday" Harry said. "Good idea mate I have to go help Ginny get her new owl from the pet shop so I'll be back soon ok" Ron smiled and left the room. Harry began to undress he first changed his pants then took his t-shirt off. Meanwhile Hermione was down the stairs with Mr. Wesley, She had just been told of the news of her report card, and Mr. Wesley sent her to give Harry his.

She ran up the stairs and opened up Harry's room door. To find Harry without a t-shirt on, she took a quick glance at his muscles that he had developed over the summer and started to stutter. He saw her and quickly chucked his t-shirt on. "Oh my... I... I'm so sorry...Harry...I should have knocked" She finally managed to get out. Harry laughed. And Hermione placed his report card on the table. Harry yelled for her, "Hermione wait" She opened the door slightly still having a very red face. "Yeah?" She said curious. "Its okay come in, I mean I already have my shirt on, lets compare" She smiled and took at deep breath to find Harry walking over to his bed and opening his envelope. She opened hers, and had a glance over it. "How's yours?" he asked. "Really good" She replied not wanting to look at him. I mean she had first of all felt attracted to him downstairs, and then she just saw him half naked. I mean it's her best friend. He looked at her and she had no choice but to look at him. "You know Hermione, I didn't even recognize you when I first saw you downstairs" Harry said still looking at her. She smiled, "Oh me either I thought you were just some boy" She said. Harry smiled, "you changed so much" Hermione laughed "Yeah so have you, but I hope mine was a good change" She said. He smiled "Yeah, it is a good change I mean you were pretty before but now wow you look great" He said starting to blush. "Thanks Harry to tell you the truth you've changed for the better too, I mean you are going to have so many girls chasing after you at Hogwarts" She said. Harry blushed. "But what if I only want one" he said, she looked at him and went bright red. Hermione just laughed, she didn't know what to say the Harry's remark. Harry edged closer, and so did she. They were millimeters from kissing when Ron walked in. They both pulled away at they pulled away at the speed of lightening.
