AN: Not JK Rowling... this link will bring you to the boots I described just take out the space.

The school seemed to be divided up into people who believed Harry and people who didn't. Poor Harry was so out of it he barely noticed. His scar was paining him all the time now but considering that Voldemort was back it wasn't that surprising.

The next morning I got ready quickly throwing my Mary Jane shoes to the bottom of my trunk in favor to some black boots that Tonks had given me for becoming a prefect. They had a some-what tall heel but she had put a charm on them so they were now the most comfortable shoes I owned. Parvati had told me a charm for hair the night before and for once my bush hair was contained and instead hung in long curls down my back.

I walked down the steps my boots clicking with each step. Ron was trying to cheer Harry up because Seamus didn't believe Voldemort was back. How could we possibly unify within like the sorting hat had said if half of the people didn't believe he was back?

"Lavender doesn't believe you either." I said pinching the bridge of my nose to stop the headache that was forming.

"Been having a nice little chat with her about whether or not I'm a lying attention-seeking prat, have you?" I bit the inside of my cheek to keep myself from crying.

"No. I told her to keep her big fat mouth shut about you, actually. And it would be quite nice if you stopped jumping down our throats, Harry, because in case you haven't noticed Ron and I are on your side."

"Sorry," Harry said after a short pause.

"It's fine now come on Harry some food will cheer you up." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the portrait whole. Something on the notice board made me pause, there was a sign for testing Weasley projects. My mouth pursed in annoyance and I tapped my foot thinking. I finally decided I would talk to them about it later instead of now.

We made our way down to the great hall talking about inter house unity but Ron and Harry weren't too keen on the idea. I sat at the table and grabbed an apple while the boys grabbed for bacon, sausage and eggs. A loud whooshing sound echoed around the great hall as hundreds of owls flew into the great hall. Two owls stopped in front of me. I paid for the daily prophet and offered the other one a bit of bacon.

"What are you still getting that for?" Harry asked irritably.

"It's best to know what the enemy is saying," I said as I scanned the newspaper for anything good. I breathed a sigh of relief nothing about Dumbledore or Harry.

"Nothing about you Harry," I said as I picked up the letter. It was from Tonks and I quickly read the letter.

Dear Hermione,

Things are warming up between Remus and I or at least I think they are, like I said before it can be so hard to tell with him. I really do love spending time with him he makes me so happy.

Now speaking of happy I know you and my dear cousin are very happy together but please next time don't make out in the hallway where anyone can walk in at anytime. Your lucky it was me and no one else. When you two get married I call being a bridesmaid.

Hope you don't get a lot of homework the first day back.

Tonks

I knew I was blushing but I couldn't help it. We had been caught snogging and by his cousin no less. She even thought we would get married. I flushed again at the thought. Someone sat down next to me and went to put the letter in my bag but stopped when I realized it was just Ginny.

"Mione why are you blushing?" Ginny asked a confused look on her face. The boys looked up and smirked at me. My eyes grew wide, they couldn't possibly know.

"Uhh no reason," I mumbled turning to put the letter in my bag but Ginny snatched it out of my hands.

"No!" I went to grab it from her but the damage was already done. Her eyes brightened and then suddenly she threw her head back and laughed. I snatched the letter and stowed it deep in the bottom of my bag.

Professor McGonagall came by a moment later with our class schedules. I grabbed mine and booked it out the door as fast as I could. When I was finally away from the others I looked down at my schedule. A large note covered my schedule and my heart dropped like a stone.

Miss Granger

Please see the headmaster this evening he would like to speak to you about something. Hope your first day goes well.

Professor McGonagall

Oh Merlin. He knew.
