Chapter 2 ~ Questions
The next few days went very fast. Just like they did every year, they all went to Diagon Alley. The only difference this year was that the Weasleys bought all new supplies. Mr. Weasley had gotten a raise, so it was no longer necessary to use hand-me-downs. Before they knew it, they were standing on Platform 9 ¾, preparing to board the Hogwarts Express.
"Harry! Ron!"
They both turned around to see who was calling them.
"Hermione!" Harry exclaimed, "It was weird not having you at the Burrow. It almost felt as if something was missing."
"Yeah! It was weird not having someone constantly telling you what you're doing is wrong!" joked Ron.
"Ha! Ha! Very funny," Hermione replied sarcastically, "It's not my fault that you can be so stupid sometimes."
"Calm down, Hermione. I was just kidding," Ron said.
"Well, in that case, I really missed you guys, too. Believe me, I would have much rather come to the Burrow than stay at my aunt's house the whole time."
"It was that much fun?" Harry asked.
"Oh yeah, loads of fun. NOT!"
They all laughed at this and then decided to board the Hogwarts Express.
"Ginny, do you need help with your trunk?" Harry asked.
"No, someone already helped me, but thanks anyway," Ginny said and then walked pass him to board the train.
Harry then also boarded the train and went to the usual compartment that they all sat in. The only seat left was nest to Ginny, so he sat down next to her. The train ride was rather quiet. For some reason, Harry felt awkward talking to Ginny.
'What is wrong with you, Potter?!? It's only Ginny!' he mentally screamed at himself.
Just then, Harry's worst enemy, Draco Malfoy, walked into their compartment.
"Malfoy, what the hell are you doing here?!" Ron yelled.
"What, I can't come and say hello to my dear old friends?" Draco said with a smirk on his face. He then looked around the compartment to see exactly who was sitting there. When his eyes finally landed on Ginny, his smirk faded into a smile. Harry then looked at Ginny to find her smiling back at him.
"What's going on?" Harry asked.
"Nothing that concerns you, Potter. I'm getting out of here. I'll see you guys later, unfortunately." Draco then turned around and left the compartment.
"Ginny, were you just smiling at him?" Harry asked.
"Umm. No, of course not," Ginny replied, but Harry noticed the hesitation in the answer. He didn't have time to question this though, because they had just reached Hogwarts. Harry made a mental not to ask Ginny about it later.
A/N - Well, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I know that it's a little slow,
but I promise that it starts to get better next chapter. Please review!
