Chapter 3

"Really? I did not realise, I thought Malfoy was just being his normal horrible self and no one ever said anything to me about Ron's and Hermione's actions," Harry said slowly as his mind tried to understand just what Neville was saying.

"We tried, we really did but you where always with Ron or Hermione and whenever you where in Hospital Wing Madam Promfrey never allowed us to visit you and we even tried inviting you to spend the summer with us or hang out in the summer or even to come to one of our parties at a friend's house only to get...a not very nice reply," Neville explained as he gazed at Harry with worried eyes, "It is lucky for you that Luna mentioned how much 'your' handwriting in the replies you sent us looked like Headmaster Dumbledore's..."

"You sent me letters during the summer holidays?" Harry asked as his mind raced a mile a nanosecond, "But I never got any letters from anyone but Ron, Hermione, the Order and Dumbledore...not...until this year...when...the goblins..."

"I'm sorry Harry, I really am...I know this sounds mean but I am happy that you have finally found out about Ron and Hermione and Dumbledore," Neville said softly as a look of worry passed over his face, "Are...are you going to be alright? I mean what with Ron and Hermione..."

"Yeah, I...I already knew about Ron and Hermione taking money out of my vault, found out this summer in fact about what's been going on behind my back but a few goblin friends of mine put a stop to it," Harry replied softly with a sad look in his eyes, "But...the rest...I'm sorry Nev...I never realised...I should of realised something...I mean Malfoy never acts the way he dose to me and my...my ex-friends to anyone else...but...what happened to all my mail?"

"If my guess is correct the Headmaster must of placed a mail ward around your house when he placed the protection wards up," Neville replied softly as he quickly glanced at Luna who was entertaining the second years, "Harry...if you would like now that you are free from Ron's and Hermione's hold...would you like it if Luna and I introduced you to some other people? We could even help you find yourself at Hogwarts again...hell you might be able to get better grades and be better in certain areas now that you won't have to deal with Ron and Hermione!"

"Thank you Neville, I think I will take you up on your offer," Harry replied as he sent a warm smile at his friend, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to take you up on your offer...what if Ron and Hermione try to interfere and mess everything up?"

"Oh you don't have to worry about that, not at all," Neville replied with a smirk worthy of Malfoy on his face, "Leave that to me."

Harry let shock hit him as he gazed at his once timid and clumsy friend, "Wow Nev...is it just me or have you...have you..."

"I have grown up Harry...which something very easy to do in six years," Neville replied teasingly, "Gran finally realised that I am not my father or mother this summer and taught me a few...interesting things while we got to know each other."

"That's great Nev!" Harry said with a large smile on his face, "If you are sure that you can help me keep Ron and Hermione off of me then I am willing to give anything a go."

"Great, would you mind meeting me up tomorrow evening in the common room after everyone else has gone to sleep?" Neville asked as he motioned to the area they were now in, "We about to stop and I have so much to tell you..."

"Sure...we will just have to wait for everyone else to go to bed which won't be hard as Ron always goes to bed around 10.p.m. and Hermione goes up to bed a few minutes later around 10.15.p.m. and I normally go to bed around 11.p.m. and normally I am the last one to go to bed so no one would suspect a thing," Harry said as he mentally worked it all out, "So to be on the safe side how about 11.30.p.m. tomorrow night?"

"That would be great Harry," Neville replied as the carriage came to a stop, "A lot has happened this summer...this time in our lives big changes happen and for us...it seems that they will be bigger than for any other generation..."

Blinking in confusion Harry froze as Neville's confusing words slowly sunk into him, a small frown appeared on his face as a wave of confusion and the feeling of a new adventure hit him. Taking a deep breath Harry turned to where Neville was alerting Luna and the second year students that the carriage had stopped.

"Neville...what do you mean that it will be bigger for us?" Harry asked carefully as he watched his friend.

Neville did not reply straight away, instead he gave Harry a knowing smile, allowed the second year students off of the carriage and helped Luna off of the carriage before replying.

"Harry...it is you being a magnet for the impossible again," Neville replied as he walked towards the edge of the carriage, "A lot will happen this year, a lot will change...for the better or worse...we will talk more about it tomorrow night...but know that no matter what I will be at your side with Luna protecting you for you are too important to lose...and I mean that as a friend Harry and not just your destiny."

Confusion and curiosity washed over Harry as he watched his friend give him one last smile before walking up towards the school. He stared at the space Neville had just been in for a few minutes trying to work out what his friend had meant and it was only thanks to the carriage beginning to turn around to collect more students did Harry remember why he had joined Neville and Luna instead of waiting for his so called friends.

Quickly jumping off of the carriage, which had already began its journey back to the station, Harry checked the area to make sure Ron or Hermione was not close by before walking quickly into the castle hoping to get a seat that was nowhere near Ron or Hermione.

Walking through the crowds of students Harry could not help a small smile of happiness to slowly appear on his face as he felt the change of atmosphere around him, it was so different then from when Ron and Hermione walked along side him.

"Harry!" Seamus cried out happily as he pulled Dean back playfully until Harry had managed to catch up with them, "How was your summer? I love what you have done with your hair! Is that jewellery your wearing? Where are Ron and Hermione? It is pretty weird to see you without them, I swear the three of you are joint at the hip."

"I...I found out a few very interesting things this summer about Ron and Hermione..." Harry replied slowly as a dark look appeared on his face, "Which I hope that all of the Weasley's are not like that...and yeah, I got tired of my bird nest for hair and followed a friends advice and grew it out, the rings are from the same friend and I left Ron and Hermione back on the train...Neville, Luna and I had a very interesting conversation on the ride up to the school."

"Really?" Dean asked as he shared a curious and worried look with Seamus for a few seconds before turning his attention back to Harry, "Did...Did Neville and Luna tell you anything...about Ron, Hermione and Dumbledore?"

"Yes...they did..." Harry replied slowly as they walked through the entrance hall towards the Great Hall, "I..I learnt a few very interesting things...I am sorry, I never got any letters from you...from anyone...Neville said that I most likely have something around my...relatives home called a mail ward..."

"Which is why your replies always came back in Dumbledore's handwriting for," Seamus said with a new light of understanding to him, "Harry...I...would you like to join Dean, Neville and I at the table instead of Ron and Hermione? You can sit between Dean and I while Neville can sit in front of you. That way there will be no way for Ron or Hermione to get too close to you."

"Thank you, thank you for doing all of this for me," Harry replied with a soft thankful smile on his face as he entered the Great Hall with his true friends, "I...I might be saying this wrong or something and...I do not want to insult you guys but...ever since I found out about Ron and Hermione betraying me...everyone seems to of...oh I do not know...they seemed to of..."

"Grown up a lot?" Dean offered as they walked towards the Gryffindor table.

"I guess you could call it that," Harry replied slowly as he looked over the table for a spare spot for him and his friends, "I...it's weird..."

"We have our own masks much like the Slytherin, but unlike the Snakes we use our mask of foolishness and bravery to our advantage, also we have to be careful with oh Dumb as a door around in case he gets any...ideas," Dean replied easily, "Plus a certain foolish fan fiction author can't write us in character."

"Fan Fiction author?" Harry asked blinking in confusion at Dean's words only for his train of thought to be cut off by Neville's voice.

"Hey guys! Want to sit with me?" Neville said with a grin as he waved his friends over.

All depressing thoughts forgotten Harry happily made his way over to the lion's table and sat comfortably down at the table while taking note of how Dean, Seamus and Neville sat around him as promised. Much to Harry's shock, surprise and happiness the Gryffindor table began to fill up starting from the spaces around Harry, the only space left for Ron and Hermione to sit at the table were down next to where the new first years would sit...the opposite end of the table from Harry.
