Chapter 1- What Was That?!

Harry, Ron and Hermione were all in the common room looking through books on Defence Against The Dark Arts. It was their first day back at Hogwarts and they were already using the library to its full use. That was what Remus Lupin said. "Find Out all you can and then you'll be a real help to the Order."

Just 2 weeks ago, Harry, Ron and Hermione were made members of the Order of Phoenix, as were everybody who had a connection with the Order and was to be very helpful. So they had 1 month and 2 weeks to find out as much as they could till they was going to be tested by Dumbledore and Lupin.

"Oh I give up!" Ron said throwing down a thick book called 'Effective Counter Curses In 1456'. "I'll never remember this stuff! And I've still got to get Snape and Binn's essays done.

"Ron, it's still only the first day and you're having a moan about homework,' Harry said reading 'How To Charm The Enemy'.

"You've just got to take a break every 10 minutes until you feel like you can do more,' Hermione said coolly, practising her Patronous.

"That's alright for you to say!" Ron said putting things in his bag furiously. "You find homework a holiday that you can't wait to get started."

"Well maybe you'll learn to do your homework more and stop copying me all the time."

"Well I'm going to bed and get some sleep and tackle the essays in the morning. Night."

"Night," Harry and Hermione said together and Ron went up the Boys' staircase.

After about half an hour, the common room started to empty until there was only Harry and Hermione left in there.

"Hey Hermy," Harry said, "Can I do some spells on you and you do the counter curses?"

"Sure,' she replied putting down a leaflet that the Ministry of Magic had owl mailed to the entire wizarding world that summer. They both grabbed cushions and laid them in a corner just in case Hermione got the blast of the spell.

"Ready?" Harry said, pointing his wand carefully at Hermione.

"Yes," Hermione said her voice shaky. She knew that Harry had become more powerful since last year because of his latest meeting with Lord Voldemort and trying to avenge Sirius's death.

"Accio Wand!" Harry said. But Hermione was faster, she put a shield charm around herself so instead she had Harry's wand now in her hand. "Very nice!" Harry said, impressed.

"Thank you," Hermione said. "Now it's my turn!" Her and Harry swapped places.

"Rictusempra!" Harry got the blast of the spell and was lying on the floor, laughing his head off.

"Hermione- please- stop!" Harry said with the strength that he had left.

"Fine then, Finite," she said coolly and rushing over to Harry.

"Thank you,' Harry said breathless. He held onto Hermione for support as they walked over to the sofa. "You know, your spells are getting stronger."

"So are yours," Hermione said sitting down.

"They'll do for now. I can't wait until Dumbledore starts to teach us," Harry said relaxing.

"Yeah. I mean, he's the most powerful wizard except from Vol-." That's when Hermione cut off. She knew that Harry now despised the name of Voldemort ever since one of his death eaters, Bellatrix Lesrange, killed Sirius. They sat in silence for a couple of minutes, just thinking. Then, out of no-where:

"SMACK!" Hermione felt a pillow hit her straight in the face.

"OI!" she said. Then, without thinking, she hit Harry back, this time on the right arm.

This carried on for about 15 minutes. They stopped and Harry found himself on top of Hermione. He put his head so that their lips were touching and kissed her lightly, then opened his mouth and let her tongue enter. Once they had finished, Hermione started at Harry and then he got off.

"What just happened?" Hermione said, shaking with surprise.

"Well, let's see. We kissed," Harry said not looking at her.

" Why?"

"I dunno. I didn't plan it but it was nice," Harry said looking at her. He started to move towards her, his eyes glassy. He went to kiss her again, but she ran off and quickly muttered, "Bye".

Harry looked around."Shit."
