Hogwarth's majestetic contours raised when the Hogwarth Express rolled over the hills towards it. It was a rarely strange evening, the sky was purple-blue and the moon shone like a round silver coin. A brief wind blew past the dark trees and bushes, the clouds were dark grey and it seemed like it was going to rain anytime. The Hogwarth Express was filled with laugh and voices, everyone was happy to be back from the summer holidays and meet their friends, therefor didn't they pay much attention when a few drops fell down from the sky. Just in a few seconds it was raining cats and dogs.
A pair of deep iris green eyes stared out of the window. The dark messy hair pointed out in every directions, and the round elbow glasses laid in the side of the boy. He turned his head when he heard a similar voice call for him.
- Harry! Where have you been, we have looked everywhere for you.
He gave Hermione a light smile, she had changed a lot over the summer, so had he. She had grown tall and she didn't actually look like the little girl she once was. She had got some curves and looked more like a young woman. Her golden brown hair was long and more shiny than ever, it was beautiful.
Harry looked at one of his best friends and grinned. Hermione held out her hand and returned the smile. They didn't need to say anything, they both knew that they were happy to see one another. Hermione was the one that broke the silence.
- Ron is waiting for us on the other cabin. Come on, let's go!
They walked out from the lonely cabin where Harry had sat before and headed to Ron who was waiting for them. Harry felt happy for seeing his friend again, this summer had been like torture for him. The Durdleys didn't allow him to visit Ron over the summer and almost held him as a prisoner. Harry shoke his head, he didn't want to think about it.
As they reached the cabin Hermione suddenly stopped and turned to Harry who was just about to enter. She gave him a quick sad look and then to Harry's surprise, she hugged him. Harry didn't know what to do but hug her back, so he slowly put his arms around her.
- Hermi what's the matter?
Hermione pulled back a bit to look up at Harry, who's green eyes where filled of curiosity.
- It is just that when I saw you and saw how much you have changed over the summer it hit me that we are not kids anymore. We are almost adults and it scares me to death that in the future the three of us will loose the connection we have now. I mean Harry, the future is so close...and I .....I'm so scared of it. You and Ron are my best friends and I will miss the time we have had here in Hogwarth.
Harry looked at Hermione's eyes and realised that she was right. They were no longer ten years old, they were almost seventeen. Hermione finally realised that she was still hugging Harry so she slowly let her arms fall down and an awkward silent moment past threw. She looked up at him and saw the gentle green eyes and remembered that this was Harry and not a stranger. But she couldn't help to feel something in her stomach, something that she never have felt before.

Harry saw Ron sitting with Ginny who was babbling about being back in school. Ron looked tired of hearing her, so he threw one of his pillows right in her face.
- Can you please stop talking, you are giving me a headache.
Ginny looked a bit hurt and turned to go out of the cabin, probably to cry because her favourite brother didn't want to listen to her. Ginny was now fifteen years old but she was still a very sensitive person. Sometimes Harry felt sorry for her, he couldn't help thinking how much Ginny was going to be hurt in her life if she was as sensitive as she was now.
Ginny looked up and saw Harry and Hermione in the door. Her face turned red when she saw that Harry had changed a lot over the summer. He was much taller and somehow he had turned handsome. She couldn't describe him, but his eyes were so much greener and he was no longer a skinny boy, it seemed like the summer had done have done a very good job to Harry. Ginny quickly looked down, every time she saw Harry she felt so a shame, as if she was not good enough for him. For the past years she had had a crush on Harry, but very soon she realised that he didn't return her feelings. It didn't matter to her because having a relationship with Harry was just an impossible dream, as if dreaming having a relationship with a wizard life star.
- Where the bloody hell have you been! Me and Hermione looked for you everywhere in the platform, we even considering the thought that the Durdsleys had captured you!
Harry grinned, he had almost forgot Ron's temperament.
- I almost didn't make it to the train! I mean, the Durdsleys kept me like a prisoner just because I "accidentally" punched Dudley in the nose. This have been the worst summer ever!
Hermione and Ron looked sorry for their friend. Harry was still stuck with the Durdleys because Sirius couldn't take the change to make Harry live with him, Sirius was still a criminal for the wizards.
- Hey, you have changed a lot over the summer! What did the Durdlyes give you to eat? You are as tall as I am!
Harry grinned, before he was the little boy who was so skin and bony and now he couldn't believe how much he had changed. Every time he looked at the mirror he saw a boy he couldn't recognise as himself.
Harry looked at Ron who rose up to confirm his own theory. Ron was right, he was as tall as him now and maybe taller. They gave eachother a friendly hug and sat down.
Harry turned his head to Hermione who was still standing. When he met her eyes he couldn't describe what he saw, he only knew that he had never seen that look on her face before. Hermione shoke her head when she realise that Harry was asking her a question.
- Hermione aren't you going to sit down?
She slowly sat down next to Ron who was babbling about his summer. He told them that his father had learned him a Muggle sport, "fatball" as he called it. The sport was about to kick a ball in their own goal and the opposite team had to try to avoid to be in the way. Ginny sometimes corrected Ron and sometimes she agreed with him . The two of them were both exited of what their father had learned them and didn't notice the silence look between Harry and Hermione. Harry didn't want to say to Ron that his father got it all wrong, he didn't want to make him sad. Hermione thought like him, but Harry could see that it took all her strength not saying the truth.
Harry shot a thankfully look at Hermione. She returned by giving him a smile, a smile that somehow made Harry's stomach to rumble. He felt a slowly pain in his stomach when he saw Hermiones eyes again and his heart started to throb a few times faster. He didn't know why he felt like this, the only person he have felt like this was Cho. He turned his head to Ron and Ginny who was discussing about the best team of "fatball". Harry didn't want to think about what he had felt for Hermione a few seconds earlier, it was such a strange feeling but at the same time wonderful so he avoided to think about it by listening to what Ron and Ginny were talking about . Harry tried to hear what they said, but the only thing he could think about was Hermiones smile and how his heart had raised it's speed.

- Stop pushing !
Ron shouted for Hermione who was trying to go past him. The rain was whipping the ground and everyone were try to run to Hogwarth that was the only protection of the rain.
- Run faster, I don't want to be wet for your fault!
Ron raised his speed but felt that he couldn't run any faster. Hermione who was actually much faster than he, ran past him.
- Hey, don't think that you are faster than me, brainy!
Ron muttered to himself that she was going to pay for making him fell embarrassed. Children were pouring out from the Hogwarth Express, everyone afraid of being wet. Suddenly the rain stopped, like someone had switched the weather, and the sun appeared.
