A/N: Thank all of you so much for reading 'On the Other Hand' and now reading 'Flying Forward'! I loved all of your reviews so much; it made me so happy and excited to start the sequel as fast as I could! I don't think that I will write super long chapters and I think that the longest might be 2,000. I would love to write long chapters but I just don't have the time to do so. I will write a semi-long chapter for this one so that you know what is going on here. I hope that you enjoy this sequel to 'On the Other Hand'. I'm also thinking of getting a beta for this story, if you would like to beta for my story please tell me so in the review box, of which I am hoping you will be pressing and reviewing already. Well I want you to enjoy please, and review! Thanks again!

Hermione P.O.V

The summer was leaving Hermione to fast, she felt as if the air were pushing her along without her consent. She wanted to stay forever in the wonderful summer that she had the summer of her Fourth year. She was 15 years old now and would be starting back for school soon with her steady boyfriend Draco. She and Draco had spent most of the summer together, and she had many laughs when he came to visit her at her adopted Muggle family and their muggle appliances. They had even been contacted by Dumbledore to go to the headquarters of The Order of the Phoenix. It was really Sirius's house but he didn't mind all the company that was brought because of that. But in a few short days Harry would be here, then two days after that, they would be on their way to school.

Draco's parents had been inducted into the Order and were spies for them. They brought back information on Voldemort's plans along with her Professor, Professor Snape. Hermione didn't think that a lot of the Order trusted Draco's parents for awhile, that was until one of the times that Lucius Malfoy and Remus went out on one of their missions and Draco's father ended up saving Remus. Hermione didn't know the specific details and neither did any of the other 'children'. Of course, not even Fred and George knew and they were of age!

Hermione had spent most of her time at Headquarters with Ginny and Lavender, all of them avoiding Mrs. Weasley as often as they could so that they wouldn't have to go and clean the rest of the house. Their room was spotless because Hermione couldn't stand the thought of sleeping in something so dirty. She was surprised when she saw that Kreacher, Sirius' house elf did nothing but mutter about his dead mistress and take the Black family heirlooms. Of course, she didn't think that he should be there to begin with and there were times when he would be quite awful to her. He would call her Mudblood and just be down right dreadful.

Even though there was sure to be darkness to follow Hermione's great happiness, she couldn't help but only see the happy things around her at the moment. Her life just seemed to full to the brim with happy thoughts, and even the dark moments wouldn't bring her down. She felt as if she were flying forward into something that she wasn't sure that she would like. Because even underneath all her bubbly happiness, there was still a deep, dark fear that very soon, something bad was going to happen. Suddenly she felt a pair of warm arms encircle her waist.

"Hello Beautiful," Draco said spinning her around and giving her a kiss. She smiled into the kiss. Draco didn't stay at Headquarters like he did but he would visit almost everyday to see her.

"Hey yourself Handsome," Hermione replied happily. They were both smiling and Hermione decided that she was hungry for some lunch. "Would you like some lunch, I'm just on my way down there myself."

"No, thank you. I'm not hungry right now, but I will accompany a pretty lady downstairs. Then hopefully she would be so kind as to come visit with me?" Draco said. It had been a two weeks since she had been to the manor to visit, and she would love to go and see the beautiful place. Her aunt Bellatrix had moved out and it was believed that Draco was trying to bring Hermione to Voldemort's side in the war. That was the way to keep up appearances for the Malfoys.

"That sounds wonderful!" Hermione said excited at the prospect of being able to roam Draco's grounds without fear of someone else overhearing what they had to say.

"Great, let's get you fed and then we'll be off. We'll have to use the floo network though, I hope you don't mind."

"It'll be perfectly fine." Hermione said, then the door to the girl's room flew open to expose Ginny standing there.

"Harry's here. Dementors attacked him along with his cousin. He's being held for trial tomorrow, the Order's now having a meeting if you two would like to come and listen." Ginny said out of breath. Hermione looked at Draco with panic in her eyes and then quickly followed Ginny out of the door, Draco following along behind them. They made it to the staircase and Fred, George, Lavender, Ron, and Harry were already standing and listening to an expendable ear. Hermione quickly went up to him and gave him a hug.

"Glad you're here Harry," Hermione whispered before trying to hear what the Order was saying, but it was all fuzzy and they couldn't hear real well. Suddenly the line went dead like a telephone line would. "They must have put up protective charms around the room so we couldn't overhear what they were saying. I know that they put up more since last time but I wouldn't have thought that they would have broken your ears guys." Hermione said to Fred and George. They nodded looking at the ear.

They had continued their Owl Ordering system with their address from an untraceable address. They were continuously trying out their new products.

"We'll just have to fix them right up won't we Georgy?" Fred said looking at George who nodded.

"Might as well get a move on, there won't be anything interesting until they come out of the meeting and we might be able to hear some snippets of good information." George said and they made their way back up to the room that they shared.

"You'll be sleeping with me mate, our room is the one up on the next floor to the right." Ron said to Harry and everyone started to split up. Depite the fact that she wanted to go with Draco back to his house, she wanted to learn about Harry's encounter. Draco seemed to realize that and just went with her when she followed the boys and Ginny and Lavender up the stairs to the boy's room.

There wasn't much room in there for them to fit comfortably so they were all rather squished together while Harry retold his story.

"It's horrible that you have to go to the trial tomorrow, they can't convict you though. I've read about it and you were using a defense against them and you should be safe. You'll be alright though Harry." Hermione said in a rush.

"So what have you lot been doing lately?" Harry said… almost bitterly.

"Not much, been stuck in here most of the time. All of us have, except Hermione who gets to go to Draco's house." Lavender said.

"Come off it Lavender! Draco's invited you lot as well, you didn't have to be stuck her the whole time." Hermione said indignantly.

"What, so we could watch you two snog the whole time?" Lavender demanded then with a loud crack, Fred and George popped into the already overstuffed rooom.

"If you all are done with your petty fighting," Fred started.

"Then you'd better come downstairs to hear some news of what the meeting was about," George finished.

"We think it was about you." They said in union looking at Harry.

"Why does everything always have to be about me?" Harry said a small smile on his lips.

"Way to feed his already overstuffed ego boys," Ginny said laughing from the doorway. "It's as bout as overstuffed as this room. How did you all fit in there?" Everyone laughed and started to follow out after Harry exclaimed, "Hey!" in an undignified voice.

By the time that everyone had gotten downstairs, most everyone had left.

"Lunch dears?" Mrs. Weasley asked from the kitchen doorway. "It might be a little while before I'm able to finish it up, but I will have it finished soon." Mrs. Weasley said with a worn out smile.

"I'll help you if you'd like Mrs. Weasley," Hermione said smiling and Mrs. Weasley's smile was quickly restored.

"Thank you deary." Mrs. Weasley said and her and Hermione went into fix lunch.
