Somewhere in America

Chapter 8

Ok, so, I've gotten few reviews, but I'm sick of writing pleads for reviews, so review if you have time or you feel like it. It's short, I know, sorry.

DISCLAIMER!: I own nothing you recognize. But I am lucky enough to own all of the Harry Potter books! D

STILL AT HOGWARTS!

"Hey Harry, come on in!" she said, stepping aside.

What she hadn't mentioned to Ron in her letter is that the 'new girl' was her. She knew it would crush him, and his spirit.

Harry came in and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her lightly on the cheek. She gave a little giggle-snort as she used to when Ron did the same thing. So many things reminded her of him, but what was she to do? He was off in another country, over 1000 miles away, and she didn't want to be alone, and Harry had always been there for her. Sure, she felt a bit bad about dating her ex-boyfriend's best friend, but she had a feeling they weren't going to be best friends when and if he were to find out.

And even though she was now going out with someone else, she still missed Ron. She didn't want to see him go. You could even say it was just when she wrote her first letter to him that she actually admitted it to herself that he was gone.

"Hey, Hun, what's going on?" he asked, sitting next to her.

"What does it look like, silly?"

"… Nothing! So let's do something!"

"No, I'm studying for NEWTS!"

"Well, that's no fun! Let's do something!"

"Do you want to study with me?"

"I said that's no fun!"

"Well, that's just too bad for you now isn't it, because that's what I'm doing, and I find it very fun!"

"Well then, I guess I'll leave then!"

"Ok, bye Sweets."

And he did leave. She couldn't believe that he left. Ron would have sat and started rambling! But maybe that was her problem. She just wasn't ready to let Ron go yet. She had to see him, at least one more time.

She closed her book and headed up to Dumbledor's office.

She gave the password and stepped onto the stairs as they went upward. It opened up into a study with a desk in the center. Just as she walked in Dumbledor walked in by another door.

"Ms. Granger, I was wondering when you'd be coming to see me."

"Yes, and am I right to assume you know what about?"

"Yes, and I'm sure it would be fine. Just let me make a quick call and you'll be able to leave tomorrow morning after breakfast."

"Thank you, sir."

"Of course, and you'll need to be sorted into a house once there, and all that good stuff. But I'm sure you'll do fine. You'll arrive via floo powder."

"Ok, sir. What time shall I come?"

"Not before nine, my dear."

"Ok, sir."
