Note: as you know I don't own any of this, the characters, terms, places,
whatever.wish I did though. Anyway I decided to make some weird
combinations with the HP people.well, you'll see what I mean later. None of
these will probably happen, but hey! I wanted to have a little fun. Oh, and
it skips around between Ron, Hermione, Lavender, and Harry's perspectives.
The stars separate them. I hope you like it!!!
Chapter One.
"Uh, er.well, you see." On the Hogwarts express.
It was time to go back to Hogwarts! Everyone was walking around looking for friends, lost pets, saying their goodbyes, or storing their luggage and looking for a compartment. 'Nothing out of the ordinary today!' Ron thought to himself as he started looking for Harry and Hermione. 'Wonder how Harry's doing?' he thought as he strolled around.
******
'Where are they?' Hermione thought as she searched the train. 'They're probably still outside on the platform, I'll just save us a compartment then!' she thought as she passed an empty compartment. Just then someone called her name.
"Hey! Hermione!" she spun around, it was Seamus. "Have you seen Dean?" he asked as he approached.
"Er, no. I'll tell him you're looking for him if I see him though!" she said. He smiled gave her a nod and went to look on the platform. 'Man, he's really grown.' Hermione thought. 'He looks really good. Maybe he's been working out.' Hermione's thoughts were interrupted by another someone.
"Hi Hermione!" this time it was Lavender.
"Hello Lavender!" Hermione replied. "Have you seen Ron or Harry?"
"Nope, I'm sorry. Have you seen Pavarti?"
"Yeah, I think I saw her near the front of the train,"
"Thanks!"
"Er, Lavender? Have you seen Seamus lately?" Hermione gave a stab at conversation, and she wanted to know more about Seamus.
Lavender cleared her throat. "No, and I really don't care where that bastard is anyway." She replied curtly.
Hermione was shocked. "May I ask what happened?" she thought that Lavender and Seamus were still going out; they seemed pretty close the past two years.
"Well, half of it was because he cheated on me, and."
"Cheated on you? Oh, man, I'm sorry Lav."
"It's ok. I've learned. And I'm better off without him."
"So, what's the other half then?" Hermione ventured.
"He just wasn't boyfriend material last year. I don't know how to explain it. Maybe he just wasn't ready, I don't really know. It just didn't work." She ended with a sigh.
"Oh, I understand. The same thing happened with Victor and me. I wasn't ready. I really didn't even like him like that anyway." Hermione added as she saw the sympathetic look on Lavender's face.
******
"Hey! Lavender!" she turned around to a hug from one of her best friends, Parvati.
"I'll talk to you later Herm!" she said to Hermione as she left with Pavarti.
"Have you seen Ron yet?" Pavarti squealed.
"No, is he still as hot as last year?" Lavender asked, excited.
"Yeah, and better. He's outside on the platform. You should go talk to him."
"You know what? I think I will!" Lavender said as she left the train and started looking for a flash of reddish-orange hair among the throng of people.
******
'Where are they?' Harry thought as he wandered around the platform, looking for the Weasleys. Just then he saw a flash of red hair ahead of him in the crowd. He hurried to catch up. But it wasn't who he thought.
"Oh, hi Harry!" Ginny said as he came up to her.
"Hiya Gin. Where's Ron?" Harry asked as he climbed onto the train with her.
"I don't know. Last I saw he was looking for you and Hermione. Maybe he's on the train somewhere."
"Alright, thanks." Harry answered as he started checking the compartments and asking around.
******
'Where the bloody hell are they?' Ron thought as he rushed around the platform. Not many people were left. The train was about to take off soon.
"Hey, Ron. What are you still doing out here?" he heard someone call behind him. He turned around. There was Lavender.
"Uh, er.well, you see." Ron's mind suddenly went blank. Lavender gave him a confused look.
"Are you looking for Hermione?" she asked.
"Um, yeah. And Harry. Have you seen him around?" Ron's senses came back to him.
"Yeah, I saw him getting on the train with your sister earlier. Oh, and Hermione's saving you guys a compartment."
"They both already got on? How did I miss them?" he asked aloud as he got on the train with Lavender.
Lavender giggled. "I don't know. Want me to show you where Hermione is?"
"Uh, sure."
"Come on!" she said as she took his hand and led him down the train.
******
"Is anyone sitting here?" Hermione whipped around. There stood Seamus, Dean, and some girl who was tall, had dark hair, and laughing eyes.
"Uh, er.well, you see." she stammered. Dean raised an eyebrow at her. "No, you want a seat?" she finished uneasily.
"Yeah! Do you mind?" the girl asked sitting down across from Hermione.
"No, not at all." Hermione replied smiling. 'Harry and Ron can find their own seats.' She thought.
"Hermione, meet Blaise. Blaise, Hermione." Dean said as he sat down next to the new girl.
"Hello!" Hermione said with a nod.
"Hi!" Blaise replied shaking Hermione's hand.
"She's a Slytherin, but we think there's been a mis-sorting." Seamus said with a wink at Dean.
"Yeah! It's awful. It's usually so cold in the dorms. And that Draco character, he's a meanie! I can't stand him! And Pansy never shuts up about him either." Blaise said with a pout.
Hermione giggled. "Too bad you're not in Gryffindor. I think we'd get along well!" Hermione said, still giggling.
"Yeah, me too!" Blaise said smiling.
******
Lavender was still dragging Ron threw the corridors. 'Man, his hand is so warm.' She thought as she slowed down. They were at the compartment.
"Here you go!" she said, reluctantly letting go of his hand.
"Thanks!" he said and smiled brightly at her and knocked on the compartment door.
She almost melted. She started to walk down to her compartment that Pavarti had saved for them when she heard Seamus talking to Ron behind her.
"Sorry mate, but we're all full." He told Ron. Lavender turned around to see what was going on.
"Oh, ok then. I'll just go, uh, sit somewhere else." Ron said uneasily. Lavender could hear a lot of giggling coming from the inside of the compartment. Seamus shut the door again and the voices were droned out. She watched as Ron turned around and tried to figure out what to do next. They were the only people left that hadn't sat in a compartment and they both figured all the rest were full.
"Ron, you could, um, come sit with Pavarti and me, if you want." She stammered out. He turned and looked at her.
"Ok. Where's your compartment?" he asked smiling gratefully.
"Just down here a little further." She said as she started out again, with Ron striding next to her. "So, uh, was Hermione in there?" she asked tentively. She had the idea that he liked Hermione a bit.
"Hmmm? Uh, yeah. But she seemed to be having a great time without Harry or me. But she's liked Seamus since the end of term last year so I guess she decided it was time to take some action." but he suddenly stopped and looked at her with big eyes. "I wasn't supposed to tell you that." He added. "Please, please, don't tell anyone!" he begged, taking her hand and squeezing it for emphasis.
"Uh, yeah, sure." She answered, smiling.
He sighed. "Thanks. She'll kill me if she knew I told."
"No problem," she nodded and continued walking. He dropped her hand.
******
Harry was sitting near the back of the train with Ginny, Fred, George, and Angelina (who was sitting on Fred's lap.) Harry was having quite a good time. Fred and George were hilarious. They kept cracking jokes and telling horribly embarrassing stories about Ron. And, from what George had told him, Harry found out that Ginny had gotten a boyfriend over the summer. He was really happy for her. She deserved someone to treat her right. It turned out that it was Colin Creevey. Harry knew those two would get together in the end.
"So, Harry, my man," Fred started, patting Harry's knee and giving his twin an evil grin. "On the subject of boyfriends and girlfriends, who's would yours be?"
Harry blushed. "I don't have one," he answered truthfully.
"Oh, really?" George asked, grinning even wider. "It looks like we have a new job Fred!"
"Oh, yes. Dear brother of mine, who do you think Harry would like to go out with?"
Ginny and Angelina just watched with amusement playing across their faces.
"Mind you, they have to be free and be ready to snog!" George said laughing slightly.
Harry blushed even more. "You guys! I can find a girlfriend on my own, thanks."
"No, no. We insist on helping.hmmm. What do you think Fred?"
"I think that Millicent Bullstrode was eyeing him when we were on the platform!"
Everyone laughed, even Harry.
"Leave him alone you guys!" Angelina said, stopping their mocking.
"Oh, we're just having a little fun love!" Fred said, kissing her on the cheek.
Angelina rolled her eyes and giggled. Harry mouthed a 'Thanks' to her and stood up. "I'm going to try and go find Ron or Hermione. I'll see you guys later!" he said as he left and headed up towards the front of the train.
Another Note: Ok, I thought that this was a long enough chapter. I'll continue the journey on the Hogwarts express in another chapter. Do you like?? Please review!! Oh, and if you don't like where this is going, don't worry. I'm going to twist it. You'll see!! Remember: REVIEW!!!!
