Chapter 1: Back to Hogwarts

Harry was waiting for his friends on platform 9 3/4's. He hasn't seen them

since the last day of their sixth year. He missed them so much this summer.

Harry was now seventeen, and he looked more like a man then he had last

year. Harry thought to himself, 'I hope that they recognize me'. Then he spotted

the red head friend of his, that he has know for almost seven years. Harry also

recognized the little hottie hanging on to his friends hand. "Ron over here" Harry

yelled. The two best friends hugged and said hello. "Man you look different,

mate." Ron said surprised. "So do you" Harry said, " Hello Lavender" "Hi Harry,

how was your summer?" Lavender asked smiling. " It was boring, how was your

guy's summer?" Harry asked. "Well mum let Laveder stay at my house all

summer, well she stayed with Ginny, you know." Ron smiled and winked at Harry.

"But we had fun." Lavender said hitting Ron in the arm. " So have you two seen

Hermione?" Harry asked. " No not since last year. What happened to you two

that last day, you guy's just disappeared, not that I noticed, you know what I

mean."Ron said winking at Harry. "Hey Ron, I'll be right back" Lavender said and

gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Lavender spotted Hermione, which was

standing out of the sight of the two guy's. Lavender ran and hugged Hermione.

"How have you been? You look great! Come on Ron and Harry are right over

here." Lavender said. " Wait, I can't see him yet." Hermione said. " Hermione

what is wrong, what happened last year?" Lavender asked concerned. "Well

Harry and I had a snogging session, but we decided to be friends" Hermione said.

" Well he was just asking for you." Lavender smiled. "Ok, you go first, and I will

be out in a minute." Hermione told her. Lavender ran back and jumped on Ron.

"Hey baby" Ron grunted. "Hermione is here, she is going to come out and

suprise Harry." Lavender whispered in Ron's ear. Ron smiled and nodded.

Harry started looking around, he didn't see Hermione anywhere.

He spotted a girl from behind. She was wearing tight low rise blue jeans, with

blue flip-flop sandals, and a baby blue tant top. She had long straight brown hair

with blonde highlights. "Ron who is that beauty?" Harry asked pointing at the girl.

When the girl turned around, Harry couldn' believe his eyes. "HERMIONE."

Harry held his breath. ' Oh my gosh, she is so beautiful' Harry said thought

to himself. "Harry" Hermione said dropping her things and running to his

arms. They held each other for a while, as Ron pulled lavender way, he said

"Lets leave them alone." 'This feels so good in his arms' Hermione thought

to herself. 'God it feels so good to hold her' Harry thought to himself. They pulled

away from each other with their hands still entwined. Hermione looked Harry up

and down. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans, and a tight green wife beater, with

a silky white button down shirt. Hermione could see his abs through his shirt.

" You look great." Hermione said, letting go of his hands. They just stared at each

other for a while. "So... um... how was your summer?" Hermione asked. "It was boring

how was yours?" Harry asked. "It was ok" Hermione smiled as she looked Harry up and

down again. "Hermione..." Harry bean to say but stopped when hermione ran off to hug Ron.

'Man I love that girl' Harry said to himself. "Harry let's go" Ron yelled. As the two friends entered

the train, Ron said "The girls picked out a compartment just for the four of us, you know what I

mean." "Ron" Harry said, "I love her" "So tell her" Ron said walking away. "Come on" Ron said

sliding into the comprtment beside Lavender. Hermione was on the other side, looking out the window.

She was holding her knees up to her chest. Harry walked up to her and sat down across from her.

Harry couldn't help but stare at her. "Ron" Lavender giggled. Ron had Lavender on the floor, tickling

her. Harry finally caught Hermione's eyes. " It is so good to see you again." Hermione said breaking

the silence. " Hermione..." Harry started. "Don't worry Harry I know." Hermione said as she looked

back at the window. The rest of the ride was in silence. When the whistle blew, Harry looked and saw that

oth Ron and Lavender were already gone. " We better go" Hermione said getting up.
