Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter

We're finally back I thought as the train pulled up to Hogsmeade Station, after a long summer break. I stepped off and took a huge breath of fresh air. I looked like at the castle with a smile it felt like I was finally home. I mean I love my parents but at school I fit in all the fun times I've had here.

"Hermione! Move it" I looked behind me and saw Ginny standing behind me arms crossed with a scowl. I stepped aside and she pulled me towards the carriages.

"You won't BELIEVE what I'm about to tell you!" she shouted as soon as they sat down.

"You really won't" said Luna as she sat down next to us.

"What did Ron somehow get a girl to go out with him?" I asked

"Hermione be realistic Ron will never get a date, my news is so much more interesting. There's a new student coming to Hogwarts" Ginny exclaimed

"That's your big news?" I asked I'd known about the new guy for a month. Professor Dumbledore wanted me to show him around if he was in Gryffindor. "I've known that for a month Gin."

"WHAT" she whined "why didn't you tell me?"

"Cause Dumbledore told me to keep quiet" That made Ginny shut up. I looked at Luna who rolled her eyes. Ginny kept quiet the rest of the ride to the castle only speaking up once to ask if I knew his name. I told her no the just know the\at he is a 5th year like me, Ron, and Neville.

We walked though the doors of the castle and waved to a few people when Ginny couldn't keep quiet anymore.

"What are you doing for your birthday this year?"

"Same as last year renting a muggle hotel room and having the party/sleepover." I loved my birthday parties each year. Being a model student Professor Dumbledore lets me go away for one weekend near my birthday and have a party with my friends.

"Alright! That was so much fun last year" Ginny cried.

"Yeah it was a lot of fun last year" Luna said and I was never more grateful that she was normally very quiet.

We said goodbye to Luna and headed to the Gryffindor table and slid in next to Ron and Neville.

"Bout time you guys got here" Ron said

"Hi Ron how was your summer? Mine was great thanks for asking!" I said as Ginny roared with laughter.

"You guys know what a mean" he pouted. I laughed and said hi to Neville as Professor McGonagall came in with the 1st Years in tow. They sorting hat sang its song and we watched the sorting that started with Abbott, C.J. and ending with Wells, Summer. Ron picked up his fork and looked up at Dumbledore waiting for the man to make the announcements to eat.

"Welcome everyone old and new to another wonderful year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now before we start the feast we have one more student to sort. . ." Ron gave a loud groan at there being another student to sort "I hope all of you will welcome him with open arms and show him the ropes here at Hogwarts."

I couldn't believe it Ron groaned right when the Headmaster said the new kids' name. I turned to Ginny but she didn't look at me she looked up to the front where a black haired boy was sitting on the stool with the sorting hat on his head. There was no way I was going to get anything out of Ginny. The boy up front was a Romeo if I'd ever seen one with messy hair and bright green eyes.

"Gryffindor!" the hat yelled I'd have to show him around and I didn't even know his name.

"Finally!" Ron cried and started digging into the food that had suddenly appeared I shock off the feeling and dug in. Ginny pulled me into a conversation about Lavender Brown's newly dyed hair that I never noticed Mr. Romeo come up behind me.

"Excuse me!"

"A horrible , huh?" I said and turned around and saw him standing behind me with a smile.

"Are you Hermione Granger?" he asked

"Yes, can I help you with something?" I saw Ginny making an amazed face out of the corner of my eye.

"Yes you can," he sat down next to me "I need someone to show me around and the Headmaster suggested you." That was when I noticed I was wrong earlier. If before he looked like a Romeo up close he looked like a god.

"Sure can, but I don't think we met properly I'm Hermione Granger."

"Nice to meet you I'm Harry Potter" He said what a beautiful name I thought

"How do you do?" I asked

"Well how do you do?" he repeated with a handsome smile

"Very well thank you." And I introduced him to Ron, Neville, and Ginny. Harry and Ron started a conversation about sports and he didn't say a thing more to me all night till we were all back and the common room when he told me good night and I would lying to say that my stomach didn't flip flop at that.
