Note: I just want to know if anyone has an idea about the fifth school I'm using. The closest might win something.

I hope that you all liked the last chapter and will continue to give me feed back. Also, I like messing with people.

Just one more chapter after this for the summer, and it's off to Hogwarts.

Enjoy Chapter Six.

Chapter Three: Diagon Alley

August 1: Hermione's POV

'I can't believe I did that, why did I do it?' Hermione kept thinking this over and over since yesterday. Yesterday was Harry's birthday and she kissed him. Granted, it wasn't a passionate one, just a peck on the lips but, it was still a kiss. She has wanted to kiss him since half way through first year but she got the courage to. The reason, simple: Hermione didn't want two ruin her friendship with the Boy-Who-Lived. It was a stupid reason, she knew, but Harry was her first real friend and she got very attached. She didn't know what she would do if he wasn't her friend anymore. Harry was always there for her whenever she needed comfort and is always nice to her.

Hermione guessed that seeing and hearing all the girls at his party drooling over him had made a little crazy and then seeing Alexis hug him had driven her over the edge. She also knew that Harry probably hated her right now. She knew that she wasn't the best looking girl and that Harry would likely go to the best looking one. Hermione was happy being his best friend and that will have to do when the time came.

She knew that she shouldn't be getting ready right now, heck if she was in Harry's place, she would stay away from her for a long time. But she couldn't help think that maybe, just maybe, he will still come and at least forgive her and be able to save what was left of the friendship she cherished anddestroyed in less then a second.

That's what she thought.

What she didn't see was the water in the glass on her table swirling.

Harry's POV:

Harry was in heaven! Yesterday was great, not because his game of Quidditch went without a hitch, nor was it because most of the people he knew and friends were at his party. No, it was because Hermione had kissed last night. Harry had practicaly (and literally) skipped down to Grimmould Place. Sure, Ron had told him that he wanted Hermione(wanted, not liked. Harry had learned to read between the lines.) and that had left him a little uncomfortable. And for some reason, the streetlights keep going off and on but he guessed it was his emotions that was the cause.

Harry had been reading his new History of the United States: Magical and Muggle all night. It was a very large book with somewhere near a thousand pages. Ever since he had read the page on the Internet, Harry had been reading a lot on other countries. He was most inters ted on the U.S. since it had a very close history with the U.K. Harry now knew how Hermione was able to read so much and why. Harry had always liked reading, but didn't do at Hogwarts because he spent so much time with his friends or trying not to get killed.

He was currently getting ready to go to Hermione's house so they can go to Diagon Alley to get their school supplies. Once he got his shoes on, he went down the stairs and went straight out the door without breakfast. He easily ran to her house without a sweat. Harry rang the doorbell and waited for Hermione.

Normal POV:

The door opened but it wasn't Hermione who opened it. It was her mum, Jane. "Hello Harry, would you like to come in?" she asked politely. Nodding, Harry entered into the Granger's living room. It was about the same size of the one in the Dursely's home, but it was much more like a home. It was not unusually clean or setup to look perfect, it was set up to look like people lived in it. Jane and Hermione's dad came in, whose name was Daniel, holding a small gift bag.

"Hermione told us it was your birthday yesterday, so we decided to get you a present from us. Hermione didn't give to you yesterday because we wanted to give it yourselves." Jane said handing him the gift. Inside was a black 30GB Video Ipod. Harry just looked at it in awe. The only time he had seen something this expensive was at Dudely's last birthday. "Hermione will be able to help you with putting music on it. I think she is still in her room if you like to go see her." Daniel said with a voice without emotion. With that, Harry went up to Hermione's room.

He knocked on her door a couple times without a answer. Finally having enough "Hermione, it's me, Harry. Can you open up please?". Hermione opened her door just a crack to see if she wasn't hearing things. "It really is you Harry, I thought you forgot about me!" Hermione squeled and giving him a hug. "Me forget, Hermione look at the time." He said with a grin.

Hermione looked at her clock on the wall and saw it was 8:45. "Oh my God, Harry. Sorry, I lost track of time we need to hurry so we can get our supplies." she said in a panic. "Hermione, don't worry. We have the whole day to get our stuff and don't forget the potion. Come on, let's go" Harry said taking her hand. The two were able to get outside without her parent's seeing them. Once outside, Harry toke out his wand and pointed to the sky. "What are you...?" was all Hermione got to say before a triple Decker bus came right in front of them. The doors opened to reveal a pimply 19-year-old.

"Hey there Stan, how are you?" Harry asked. " 'lright 'Arry. 'nd 'ho is this." Stan replied, nodding towards Hermione. "Right, Stan, this is Hermione. Hermione, this is Stan, the conductor of the Knight Bus." Harry introduced them. "Pleasure to meet you. 'iss." Stan said, helping them on the bus. Out of the corner of his eye, Harry thought he saw Alexis walking with a boy.

" 'Here to, 'Arry?" "Leaky Cauldron, please." Harry answered. With a bang, the Bus started moving really fast and weaving in andout of traffic. The two were on the second floor and were having a hard time to stay in one place. "Harry, are sure this was a good idea?" Hermione yelled/asked. "Yeah, we're almost there." he said simply. In five minutes they reached the Leaky Cauldron. They got off, waved Stan goodbye and started to walk to the pub. Suddenly, Harry stopped. "Hermione, do you mind if we something to eat first?" Hermione stopped andsoon she found that she too was hungry. "Sure, come on, there's a McDonald's over there." she said.

So Harry and Hermione eat a late breakfast in a McDonald's. After they were done, Harry went to the restroom and asked Hermione to wait for him outside. Once he was done, he saw Hermione arguing with a boy outside. Slightly ticked, he went to Hermione's side and was surprised that the boy was Dudley.

"What the Hell are you doing here Dudley?" Harry spat. Dudley span around to see his cousin, who had a look of rage that would make the Devil himself run. Though Dudley was dense enough to stay. "What are you doing here Potter? Don't worry miss, I'll protect you from my freak of a cousin." Dudley said to a amused Hermione. "Ha, Hermione, is Dudley giving you any problems?" he asked. "Some, like trying to get to on a date with him or see his parents." she answered. Dudley just stood there, his mouth hanging stupidly.

"How do you know this girl, Potter?" Dudley asked. "Uh...." Harry had to think fast and said the first thing to come to his mind, "She's my girlfriend." Hermione was shocked, but caught on just in time. "How can you have a girlfriend, Potter? Oh, I know, she doesn't know that...." "That he is wizard? Of course I do, I'm a witch." Hermione cut in. The look on Dudley face was so good that both magic users burst out laughing. A pale face Dudley then ran away to his parents to tell them of this news.

After a minute or so, Harry and Hermione decided to go get their school supplies. After walking through the pub, saying hi to Tom, and re-figuring out the brick wall, the two decided to start at Gringotts. Unlike the other times, Harry actually showed her the money in his vault and to say that she was stunned at the amount of money was the understatement of the year. Getting their items at Flourish and Botts(where they bought a few extra books), The potion store(whose name I can't remember), and where currently heading towards Madam Makllim's when Harry pieced together why on earth he need dress robes.

"There is going t be a dance this year, isn't there Hermione? That's why we need the dress robes." he asked with realization. Hermione looked at him with a proud look. "You figured it out pretty quick, Harry. You know Ron is probably still clueless about this. But why do you ask?" Hermione ask with a just a bit of hope in her voice. "Uh...well I was think if you would like to...maybe come with me...you know as friends?" Harry added, hoping against hope. "YES, of course I will Harry." said an elated Hermione. "The only thing is we don't know when it is. You won't take up another date will you?" Harry asked nervously. Hermione was appalled that Harry thought this "What! What would make you think that Harry?" "It's just that there are probably some others that will ask you and you might say yes." he responded. "No Harry, I would not do something like that to you, I promise." she said. "Good."

So after trying on several different outfits, Harry settled on a emerald green one with silver and gold trim and some dress shoes. For some reason, though, Hermione wouldn't let him see her dress. Once everything they needed was in their possession and had some ice cream, it was about 4:00 PM. So the two called it a day and once again called the Knight Bus. Having learned her lesson, Hermione clung unto one of the poles. Getting off and heading towards Grimmauld Place, they saw someone they weren't expecting, Dudley.

"How did you get here Dudley?" Harry asked surprised. "I'm here to save that poor, bewitched girl from your clutches." Dudley said as he threw a punch. Harry saw it coming and dodged it. Dudley kept throwing more punches but Harry was able to evade them all. Then it happened. Somehow, Harry started to see everything in slow motion around him(think of Peter's Spider Sense in the movies) and toke his chance, throwing a right hook to his jaw as fast as he could, and knocked out Dudley with that single punch. "Harry, why did you do that, you could have gotten hurt." Hermione exclaimed, hugging him. "It's alright Hermione, and he did throw the first punch." Harry said hugging her back, "Come one, lets go back to Sirius's house." "What about him?" Hermione asked pointing to his cousin. "Don't worry, if I know Dudley, he'll wake up in about five minutes." he replied. Hermione, satisfied, started to go back to Harry's home.

Seeing the whole event, Jessica was thinking very hard. She remembered back when she was little and lived near Harry's old house. Back then, everyone had made fun of Harry but she wanted to get to know him. The problem was that Dudley would beat up anyone who was nice to him. After a while, she came to have a crush on the boy, but she changed her attitude once she moved here. Ridiculing Hermione was something that got her mind off Harry. But seeing them together, she couldn't take it and acted like a fool in front of him. She was also mad at Alexis for getting to friends with the two. Jessica decided that she will get Harry, even if it means doing things against her reputation.

Grimmauld Place:

"Hello there Harry, Hermione. How did shopping go?" Sirius asked with a smile. "Not bad, just a little tired from walking all day." Harry said, not wanting to tell him about the fight that toke place moments before. "Good, Hermione, I called your parents to tell them that you are staying over tonight. For the potion of course." Hermione noded. "Now then, this potion reqiures that you take this at the begining of the month every month until you can transform without hitch. I will tell you the other instructions later. Now go upstairs and drink." Sirius said in a fatherly mode. At this, the two teens went upstairs.

End of Chapter 6.
