Chapter 1
"Hermione! Hey Hermione!" Harry called through the crowd.
It was September first, the day that they would be back in Hogwarts. Platform 9 3/4 was crowded as students walked through and went on the Hogwarts express.
"Hermione!" Harry called again.
This time the bushy, brown-haired girl turned around to see who called her. She surveyed the crowd and saw him.
"Harry!" Hermione squealed, waving at him.
"Hey," Harry said, bringing Hermione to his arms. "How have you been?"
"Great," Hermione replied, grinning. "You?"
"I'm fine. Where's Ron?" Harry asked.
"I don't know," Hermione said, shrugging. "Maybe he's already on the train." They began to walk towards the express, pushing their carts in front of them. "How was your summer?"
"It was great!" Harry said enthusiastically. "I was hoping you'd come over to Ron's. You really missed a lot."
"Really? Like what?"
Harry stopped walking and held both of Hermione's hands. She waited expectantly.
"What is it, Harry?"
"Ginny's my girlfriend, Hermione," Harry said with a big smile.
Hermione bit her lip and forced a smile. "That's wonderful, Harry! I'm happy for you."
"It's great, isn't it?" Harry said, carrying both his and Hermione's trunk in the train. "I was stupid not to have noticed her before. I couldn't believe that the right woman was in front of me all along."
Hermione looked away. "How did it happen?"
They found a compartment and sat down in front of each other. Harry sighed happily.
"I don't know really," Harry said. "It just did. It's as if we're meant to be."
Hermione managed a smile. "What did Ron say?"
"He was very happy. He threatened me about hurting Ginny, but he was okay with it," Harry said. "Oh, he'd been wanting to see you all summer."
"Ron?"
"Yeah," Harry said, shrugging. "I don't know. I think he was sick of seeing me and Ginny together the whole time."
Hermione chuckled. She looked out of the window. She hoped Ron would get here soon. She wanted to talk to someone about this. Shortly, Ron arrived, grinning.
"Hey mates!" Ron said.
"Ron!" Hermione immediately stood up and hugged him. Ron hugged her back. They stayed like this for a while, until Harry cleared his throat.
"Hey bro-in-law!" Ron said to Harry, patting his back.
Hermione cringed. Was it going to be like this from now on? She didn't think she'd be able to stand it.
"Where's Ginny?" Harry asked.
"Still outside, I think," Ron said. "Mum is still talking to her."
"Well, I'd better go and get her," Harry said. "See you guys later." Harry left the compartment and slid the door shut.
Ron and Hermione didn't say anything for a while.
"So... Harry and Ginny..." Hermione began.
"I know. It's great, isn't it?" Ron said.
"I was thinking along the lines of surprising or shocking," Hermione told him.
"Why is it shocking?" Ron asked curiously.
Hermione shrugged. "I don't know. The fact that it's taken Harry six years to notice Ginny. I mean, we're in our last year and suddenly Harry realizes that Ginny is the right woman for her? What happened to him and Cho?"
"Broke up the first day of summer. Didn't he tell you?"
"I assumed he was too ecstatic at being in love with Ginny," Hermione said dryly.
Ron sat down beside Hermione and put an arm around her shoulders. "What's up with you? Is something wrong?"
Hermione leaned her head on Ron's shoulder and closed her eyes. "I don't know, Ron. Maybe I'm just confused."
"Confused about what?" Ron asked, kissing her head.
"About my feelings for Harry," Hermione whispered.
Ron removed his arm around her and looked at her. "Excuse me? What?"
Hermione looked down. "I know. I just found out."
"Found out what exactly?" Ron asked, holding his breath.
Hermione met Ron's eyes and took a deep breath. "I think I've fallen for Harry, Ron."
