Dearest Hermione,
How I do miss you. You are constantly occupying my thoughts and I long to see you again. We had such fun when you came to Bulgaria this summer and I am hoping to relive some of this fun. I am planning to come to Hogwarts to see you. When, I do not now. But I WILL be there soon. Until then…
Viktor
Hermione sighed as she read the letter for the millionth time. Viktor was coming to Hogwarts! She was to see him again! The thought made her pulse race and her hands sweat… and yet there was still something that was bothering her about this letter. What is was, she didn't know. But there was something that made her not want Viktor to come to Hogwarts. She shook her head. She was being crazy! She cared about Viktor very much and wanted to see him again. She concluded she probably didn't want him to come to keep him out of danger. Yes…that was it….

The train came to a halt. "All students except for first years please proceed to the carriages. Thank you".
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny all stepped out of the train and got into a carriage together. It was completely silent. Harry looked over at Ron who's mind seemed millions of miles away. Hermione was reading a piece of parchment that Harry suspected was a letter from Viktor. And Ginny, who was right next to him, was looking extremely uncomfortable. Harry was feeling a bit uncomfortable himself. He and Ginny were becoming VERY close and sometimes he felt as though he was going to be pushed over the edge and go to a place where he DEFINITELY should NOT go. He was 17 years old and was not ready for that yet.

Ginny fell down onto her bed in the girl's dorm feeling exhausted. It had been a very long day. Once they had arrived at Hogwarts they had proceeded to the Great Hall for the feast. Ginny felt full and content and very tired. She sighed, closing her eyes and letting her thoughts go to Harry. He was so wonderful. The past week had been the best of her life, and she was afraid that now that they were at Hogwarts they would have no time to see each other…and talk. A creaking sound interrupted Ginny's thoughts. She looked at the other 4 beds in the room where her friends were all silently sleeping. She looked over at the door to see it wide open…but there was no one there! Feeling panicked she jumped up, ready to run down to the common room for safety. She ran towards the door and right before she got there, she hit something. It made a grunting noise and then covered her mouth. She was transported down to the empty common room and the thing put her down and then standing in front of her was Harry.
"Harry!" she exclaimed.
"Shh…be quiet."
"How did you…?" she whispered.
"My invisibility cloak. I'm sorry I scared you, I just didn't want to be seen".
"I understand."
He looked around uncomfortably. "Can we talk?"
"Of course."
The two sat down on one of the plush couches. Harry turned towards her. "Ginny I really care about you. A lot. And I…"
Feeling as if she knew where this was going, she stopped him. "Harry…please don't go on. I'm not ready for this to be over yet. And if you are…I don't really care because I know you care about me just as I care about you and…"
This time it was Harry who interrupted. "Ginny stop. I'm not ending this."
"You're not?"
"Of course not! I just…I want to know where it's going."
"I don't think I understand" she said, looking confused.
"Well…are we…together? In a relationship I mean. Or are we just fooling around? Or what are we doing?"
"I think it's a bit of both". She said with a silly grin on her face.
He looked exasperated. "Be serious please"
"I AM being serious" she said. She was feeling very flirtatious tonight.
"Do you WANT to be my girlfriend?"
"Of course I do!"
"So…will you be my girlfriend?"
She smiled touching his cheek. "Of course Harry"
He kissed her. When he pulled away he asked "So we can tell your family now."
Ginny looked at him grimly. "I don't think so Harry. I don't know what we should do, but my brothers are very protective and if they knew about this…"
"I understand. So…should we just hide it until we think they're ready to know all of this?"
She smiled and wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you so much for understanding."
He looked into her eyes. "Anything for you"
"Anything?"
"Well…"
She leaned over and kissed him.
A/N: OK, this was slightly boring I know. I know. There wasn't a lot of "action" or "adventure" but I needed this chapter to get my plot lines going. Trust me, hidden in these lines is my entire story.
COMING NEXT CHAPTER: Classes begin. Who's the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher now? What went down with Voldemort? When is Viktor coming? And of course, lots of H/G!! Review please ( OH YES! If you have ANY ideas for a title, PLEASE tell me because I am DYING to give this thing a name! THANKS!
