Stepping through the door, he looked around the familiar room, and smiling to himself. Just then he heard the rush of footsteps. Turning his head towards the door, he saw Mrs Weasley hurrying towards him, the next thing he knew he was in a bone crushing hug. After a second he wrapped his arms around her, returning the hug. After a couple of seconds, he heard a slight cough coming from behind him; pulling away he saw Ron and Ginny behind Mrs Weasley. Going around her he rushed to Ron and gave him a slight hug, before they both stepped away uncomfortably. He then gave Ginny a hug, and as he started to pull away he felt her try and stop him, finally breaking free he turned to the last person left in the room, beside from Dumbledore, and as soon as his eyes landing on her he got the biggest smile on his face. He was just about step forward to hug her when she ran at him and engulfed him in a bone crushing hug. Quickly returning the hug, he wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his face in the all too familiar bushy hair. The hug ended too soon for Harry's liking but he knew there were other people in the room, and it had to end. Stepping away from her he realised that no one had spoken since everyone entered the room, so breaking the silence he said.
'Where's Dumbledore gone then.' Hermione gave him a small smile, harry returned it before he felt someone grab him by the shoulders and steer him into the kitchen. Walking into the kitchen, it was unusually quiet for the Weasley's. The twins were nowhere to be found. Without them being there the house was to quiet. Sitting at the table, Ron sat on one side of him while Hermione sat on the other; Ginny took the seat opposite him, and just sat there staring. Feeling slightly uncomfortable, Harry turned to Hermione and asked.
'So how long have you been here?' Giving him a slight smile she replied.
'I got here yesterday.' Just as Hermione said this, a plate of food landed in front of everyone. After a couple of second of staring at his food, Harry looked up at everyone else. Ron was already had his mouth, which really wasn't a surprise, Ginny was also eating her food but with a bit more manners. When he turned to Hermione, she was sitting there staring at him, they kept eye contact for a few seconds, and Harry saw a lot of emotions in her eyes, concern and embarrassment being just a few. There was one thing that he couldn't understand, and before he could ask, she broke their contact and started eating her meal. Smiling to himself Harry took one last look around the table, and saw Ron still with a mouthful of food, but was trying to get the attention of his sister; Harry turned to her next and saw that she was staring at him and Hermione with a look of hatred. Not really knowing why or if he even see her do it, Harry turned back to his food and thought the look was his imagination. The rest of the meal was eaten in silence; everyone was in their own little worlds.
Just as Harry put down his fork once he had finished, Mrs Weasley came rushing in and ushered them all upstairs. Ginny stormed off to her own room, while the trio headed to Ron's room. Ron jumped in his bed, and Harry sat down on his with his back resting on the headrest. Hermione chose the floor and rested her back against Harry's bed. They sat there in silence once again, no one really knowing what to say, Harry looked at his two best-friends, and wondered what he would do without them. His thoughts about his two friends were interrupted when Hermione spoke.
'So what do you think you will get when the O.W.L's results get here then.' Ron groaned in response which made Harry laugh. The conversation continued in pretty much the same way from then on, until Mrs Weasley came in and sent them all to sleep. Hermione stood from her position and said goodnight to the boys, her gazes lasted longer when she said it to Harry. Once the door closed behind her, both boys got ready for bed, said night to each other and switched of the light. As Harry lay in bed it finally hit him how tired he was. Taking his glasses off and putting them in the side Harry pretty much fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
The next thing Harry was aware of, someone had stalked into the room, and throw the curtains open. Blinded by the sudden light, Harry put his arm over his eyes trying to block it. Sitting up Harry searched around for his glasses, once he had them on, he saw Ginny facing him. She gave him a slight smile before turning to Ron,
'She is doing my head in.' Harry was slightly confused with whom she was talking about but before he could ask Ron bet him to it.
'Why what has she done now' Ron sat up in bed waiting for the answer.
'The way she talks to me. It's like I'm three or something.' Just as she was finishing Hermione walked into the room.
'I know what you're saying; she is so full of herself sometimes.' Harry was stunned to her Hermione talk like this about anyone; she was always the one to say nice things about anyone no matter what they have done. So before anyone when could continue to talk he ask the question.
'Who are you guys talking about?' but before anyone could answer him, the door flew open, and a young women stood in the doorway. The women had such breath-taking beauty that Harry just laid there staring at her. Hermione rolled her eyes, but he didn't see it, the only thing that made him look away was when Ginny made a disgusted noise. Looking at her Harry was about to say something, when the women spoke.
'Arry.' She said in a throaty voice. 'Eet 'as been too long!' and with that fleur swept into the room towards him, swooped down and kissed him on the cheek. Harry smiled up at her when she pulled away.
'I 'ave been waiting to see you. You remember my seester, Gabrielle? She never stops talking about you 'Arry Potter.' Harry was slightly taken aback by the sudden question he nodded his head before he could speak.
'Oh yer is she here too.' Shaking her head she replied.
'No no. you will zee her next summer, when we – but do you know.' Fleur looked around at everyone in the room. Mrs Weasley was the one to speak.
'We haven't gotten around to telling him yet.' Turning back to Harry she said.
'Bill and I are getting married.' Stunned, he wasn't really sure what to say so he looked around at everyone else. Ron wasn't really paying attention to what fleur was saying, just kept staring at her. Hermione, Ginny and Mrs Weasley all had a look if disgust. He turned back to fleur and noticed she was waiting for him to say something, finally finding his voice he said,
'Oh um – congratulation.' She seemed happy with his response and continued to explain why she was here, Harry wasn't really paying attention he was staring at Hermione, who kept rolling her eyes at what she was saying. He had to keep from laughing as it was typical Hermione. He caught the end of what was being said.
'I was pleased to 'ear that you were coming.' And with that she swooped down again and kissed his cheek before leaving the room. Mrs Weasley watched her leave before turning back to Ron and saying.
'Get out of bed you to. I got a job for the both of you.' And with that she followed fleur out. Ginny was the first to leave with her arms crossed over her chest and not a word to any of them. Hermione was next but only after giving Harry a little look, that he wasn't really sure what it meant. Shaking his head, Harry threw the covers off him and got out of bed.
Ten minutes later both Harry and Ron walked into the kitchen, changed and ready for the day ahead. Harry pulled up a chair opposite Hermione, while Ron sat next to her. Giving Hermione a smile, he looked around the room to see if Ginny was anywhere to be found, but after a round of the kitchen Ginny wasn't there, but Mrs Weasley was at the stove cooking there breakfast. Harry turned back to the table to see Hermione staring at him, with a look of hurt across her face. Not understanding why, he reached across the table, and squeezed her hand gently. The look soon disappeared and a smile replaced it. Satisfied with the response he smiled back and let go of her hand. Just then food appeared in front of them all, and the trio dag in. conversation was light while they eat, they talk about O. trying to guess what results they would get, to what might happen next year.
As soon as all the food was finished, the plates disappeared, and Mrs Weasley told them all to go out to the garden and de-gnome it. Happy with the chore as they would be together and in the sun, they walked outside.
It took them till about lunchtime to properly do it as they would have bets on who could throw them the furthest, and sometimes they would just sit in the sun talking. Hermione would always sit next to Harry, but he didn't really mind, actually he kind of liked it. They walked back in to the kitchen laughing at a joke Ron just told. They had just sat down at the table, when Ginny walked in. she sat down without a word to any of them, Harry look to Ron who just shrugged his shoulders, next he looked to Hermione who had a look of concern. Hermione opened her mouth the say something to her when she closed it immediately, she stood from the table and opened the widow, Harry followed her every move and noticed an owl making its way towards the house. Once the window was open she sat back at the table and waited.
Once the owl was on the table Hermione reached over and grabbed the letters that where attached to its leg.
'So I wonder what we have done wrong this time.' Harry said while Hermione handed the one with his name on it, then passing Ron's over next. Harry looked over at the other two, who both just shrugged their shoulders and ripped open their letters. Harry took their lead and opened his. Harry was shocked to find his O.W.L.s results inside.

It took Harry a couple of times of reading it to understand what he really got. He did all right, only got one dreadful, and that was only because has collapsed halfway through the exam. He always knew that he would never really get any good marks in Divinations at it were a stupid subject. But he did pass everything else, and even got an outstanding. What one he couldn't really believe though was Potions, he got excessed expectations, as Snape was always putting him down in that class. All in all he was chuffed at his results. He looked around the table and found Hermione had turned around in her chair and wasn't saying anything, but Ron looked delighted.
'I only failed History Of Magic and Divinations, but really who cares about them anyway.' Harry just laughed at him before turning his attention back to Hermione. She still had her back to everyone and he was starting to get worried. But before Harry could say anything Ginny spoke for the first time since she entered the kitchen.
'Hermione?' she didn't move when her name was said, which got Harry even more worried, he saw Ron get up and head towards her. He whipped the letter out of her hand, he read over the letter before shouting.
'AHA, I knew you do this well. She got 10 outstanding with one excessed expectation in Defence Against The Dark Arts.' Ron stopped suddenly and stared at her. After a couple of seconds of staring at her, he exclaimed,
'You're disappointed aren't you?' Hermione just shook her head and looked to the ground. Harry laughed at her before Mrs Weasley came running in and looking over their results. She gave each of them a hug before Ron said,
'Mum what's for lunch?' Hermione rolled her eyes at him and turned to Ginny to start talking about her results. Mrs Weasley shook her head before food came whizzing on to the table.
