Summary of previous events: Harry and Hermione spent their fifth year as exchange students at another school, or so Dumbledore tells the Hogwarts students. They spent the summer after fourth year through the summer before sixth at an Auror training facility. Chances are I'll write a prequel to this but I'll leave that up to you.

Harry and Hermione stood on Platform 9 3/4. They choked back laughs as they saw the Weasley brothers gapping. "This is going to be so hilarious." Hermione managed to say in between suppressed laughs. "I'll bet that they have absolutely no clue who we are."
Harry looked sideways at his girlfriend. "Well you know, you don't exactly look the same as you used to," He commented. Hermione laughed and kissed him, bringing most of the Stations attention to them. "Great now everybody knows!" Harry joked.
"You say that like it's a bad thing." Hermione challenged. Harry smirked and then lifted her trunk.
"I'd better carry this, I'm not sure you could handle it, you know, being a girl and all." Harry started to walk away, smiling as he got the reaction he had wanted. Hermione came bounding up beside him, and tickled him. "Aahhh, no fair Herm!" Harry cried as he dropped the trunk into Hermione's waiting hands. She stuck her tongue out at him before moving to board the train. "Wait." Hermione turned around and seeing Harry's intent she joined him in waving at the Weasley clan.
"What was that all about?" she asked as they found an empty compartment at the end of the train. Hermione stashed her trunk and then pulled out a book before sitting down.
"I dunno. Just felt like confusing them more, I guess." Harry replied as he lifted her up, sat down and set her in his lap. He pulled out a book also and hadn't gotten very far when the compartment door opened to reveal Ron and Ginny. Harry and Hermione exchanged amused glances as Ginny informed them that everywhere else was full. They had seen lots of space, but Hermione okayed it and Ron and Ginny took a seat. Harry almost burst out laughing as they realized the color of Hermione's eyes. Next it was Hermione's turn to almost crack up as Ron asked if they were exchange students. She had no doubt that Ron would tell them off later for not telling him who they were, but at the moment she was having way too much fun. Hermione could almost see Ron's mind trying to place them and them give a mental shrug as he asked them to play a game of chess. Hermione met Harry's eyes before the came to an agreement. "How about on teams? You and ......?"
Harry smiled as Ginny introduced herself and her brother. After last year he doubted that anyone would be able to tell the truth from the acting. Harry just inwardly smirked as Ron bragged about his undefeated record. What with all the logic and strategics classes they had had to take they should be able to cream him.
~Half an hour later~

Ginny looked torn between shock and wanting to rub this loss in her older brother's face. Before she really had time to react, Draco appeared at the doorway.
"Enter Draco Malfoy," Harry muttered under his breath. Hermione looked up, a slight smile gracing her features. 'This should be amusing/ I wonder how much his ego has grown.' Harry started forwards as Draco ran his eyes over hermione. 'It's okay, I got it.' Hermione thought at hem.
"and who are you?" Draco's permanent sneer fixed to his face
"No on e that concerns you," 'Just your father.' Harry thought back at her. 'Shush you! I'm trying to put him in his place and it won't work if I start laughing.' 'Well soorrrrrreeeeeee.'
"Well I'm making it my concern." 'Yup, his ego has definitely grown.' 'Very funny.'
"You Malfoys never learn, do you?" with that, Hermione flung Malfoy backwards. Just as Ron and Ginny started to question her, the announcement came on. 'Saved by the bell,' Harry joked as they made their way out of the compartment. She pushed him and laughed, racing down the corridor.
They made their way down to the Great Hall, albeit a little anxiously. They took seats not far from their year mates and, quite obviously, their housemates. Dumbledore had said in his owl that he would announce them after the Sorting, and to feel free to stay anonymous up until that point. They watched the Gryffindor guys joking around. Hermione nudged Harry and he followed her gaze to the Gryffindor girls who were elbowing each other and primping. Hermione was about to say something, but shut up when she saw that the Sorting Ceremony was about to begin.
It seemed to pass hellishly slow and Hermione's stomach was filled with butterflies by the time that Dumbledore stood. "As most of you know, last year two of our students participated in an exchange program. I ask all of you to join me in welcoming them back. Mr. Harry Potter and Miss Hermione Granger, please stand."
Harry gave Hermione's hand a quick squeeze before they stood, slight smiles on their faces as they felt the shock from the people in the Hall. Looking up at the Teacher's Table they locked eyes with Dumbledore's amused gaze before moving on to take in the sight of the rest of the schoo's bug eyed and slack jawed faces, teachers included. As they sat down and the hubbub around them gradually increased to normal, Harry and Hermione were surrounded by fellow Gryffindors. "Never thought I'd see the day where I was thankful to Snape." Hermione muttered as Professor Snape cleared the area with the threat of detention. Harry laughed as they started to eat. Three quarters of an hour or so later, Dumbledore called the Prefects to lead the 1st years and other students up to their Common Rooms.
"Guess that's us," Hermione said as she pulled him to his feet. After going up seven stories of winding trick staircases, fake walls and hidden corridors, saying the Password (Casper) they finally made it to the Gryffindor Common Room.
Once again the Gryffindors circled them, asking questions faster than Harry or Hermione could process what they said. Finally Hermione had enough. She jumped onto the nearest table. "STOP!" she yelled. The Gryffindors surrounding them slowly fell silent. "We'll answer all your questions if we can. But one at a time." Hermione and Harry spent the next hour answering some questions, side-stepping most.
Realizing how late it most likely was, Harry made the pretense of checking his watch before sending the querying Gryffindors to bed. As the Common Room cleared out, Hermione turned to see Harry with a pained look on his face. "I wish we could tell them." He said.
Hermion kissed his forehead. "We can't , love, not yet. Dumbledore knows what's best, or at least he damn-well better for all that we're putting on him." Harry gave a short bark of laughter.
"Come on, we'd better get to sleep, what with the first day of school in addition to the training Dumbledore mentioned." He gave her a quick thank you smile, before leaning down to kiss her. Just as they were getting into it, they felt the presence of Harry's roommates at the top of the guys' dorm stairs. Continuing a little while longer, they broke it off before Harry glanced up the stairs at his stunned to say the least friends. 'This should be interesting,' Harry commented. 'That'll be nothing, I've got Parvati and Lavender in my dorm.' Harry gave her a quick kiss while mentally laughing at her, before joining the 6th year guys at the top of the steps.
Getting her composure, Hermione started up the steps to her dorm.
"Where have you been?" Parvati asked as Hermione entered the dorm.
"Downstairs with Harry. Why?" Hermione smiled as they were surprised by her straight forward answer.
"You aren't the same as you were before." Lavender observed.
"It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out." Hermione replied dryly.
"so when did you and Harry get together?" Parcati asked. This new Hermione made you step back and think and Parvati didn't like having to concentrate on things other than guys, make-up, pop culture and Divination.
"About a month after my parents were killed."
Needless to say, that shocked Parvati and Lavender into silence for a while. Lavender was the first to recover. "Oh, Hermione, I'm so sorry. When? How?"
"About a week after 4th year ended. Voldemort murdered them. They were Muggles, they couldn't defend themselves. I had to watch them die." Hermione's voice was emotionless by this point. The room was filled with silence. "I haven't been away from Harry for more than a couple of hours at a time since then."
"Herm?" Parvati called from her side of the room.
"Mmmmm?"
"I'm sorry for being a bitch before."
"There's no changing the past but I'm willing to start again I guess."
"Hermione?"
"Yeah, Lavender?"
"Me, too."
"I've a feeling that dorming with you two might be a tad easier this year." Hermione joked.
