A/N: I apologize for the long wait. My computer was broken and it had to be
fixed, and I was also having some major writer's block, but I was
experiencing a bit of love trouble myself and I stumbled upon this chapter.
Haha enjoy…
Ginny woke up easily the next morning. She felt incredibly perky and alert which was strange since she and Harry had stayed up late last night talking in the common room. She went into the bathroom and got ready. When she was done, she walked down to the common room where Hermione was curled up in an armchair writing. Hermione looked up when Ginny walked in.
"Good morning sunshine!" Ginny greeted her friend happily.
"Well aren't we cheery for the first morning at school."
Ginny just smiled, "Want to go down and get breakfast with me?"
"Sure, I highly doubt Ron or Harry will be awake for at least another half an hour." Hermione grinned, looking up at the boys dorm. She and Ginny walked down to the Great Hall to find that many of the students were already awake. The moment they sat down at the Gryffindor table Hermione was summoned to the teacher'' table by McGonagall. She shot Ginny an apologetic glance before walking off with the teacher. Ginny sighed. She hated being alone. She looked around trying to find a familiar face when Parvati Patil and Lavendar Brown sat down at the table right across from Ginny.
"Hi Ginny!" the chorused in unison. Ginny felt skeptical. These girls rarely talked to her, and she had the strangest feeling they were up to something.
"Hi…"
"How was your summer? Anything…NEW happen?" asked Parvati.
"My summer was good…nothing NEW happened." Said Ginny slightly mocking Parvati. Parvati didn't even seem to notice.
"Oh really? Because we heard differently" she said shooting a knowing glance at Lavendar.
Ginny was confused "what the hell are you talking about? Why do you care about my summer?".
"WE heard there was something going on between you and…" Lavendar looked at Ginny obviously hoping Ginny would finish her sentence and give it all away.
"Me and…who?" Ginny asked angrily.
"You and HARRY of course" yelped Parvati excitedly.
Ginny felt her throat go completely dry. "Me and…Harry? No…no of course not. I don't know where you two got that but it's certainly not true."
Lavendar and Parvati looked very skeptical and were about to ask Ginny another question when she was saved by a beaming Hermione, who was holding a stack of papers.
"McGonagall wanted me to pass out all the Gryffindors' schedules!" she said. "Ginny…here's yours…and Parvati and Lavendar here's yours…now if you'll excuse me I need to pass the rest of these out!" she chirped.
Parvati and Lavendar, their thoughts now occupied by their schedules, moved away. Ginny peered down at her schedule, groaning when she found she had Snape first today. 'So much for my fabulous mood' she thought, when Harry walked in and sat down at her table.
"Hello" he greeted her with a secretive smile.
"Hi" she replied, her bad mood evaporating like dew on morning's grass.
"I saw you talking to Parvati and Lavendar, what did they want?" he said reaching for some toast.
"They asked if we were together"
Harry choked. "What? How in hell would they find that out?"
"Don't worry, I told them nothing was going on. But just in case you might want to sit across the table from me."
Harry moved. "I can't believe it."
"Harry don't worry, it's okay." Ginny said, smiling warmly at him.
He smiled back just as Hermione handed him his schedule and sat down beside him. "We have Defense Against the Dark Arts first today, but it doesn't say who the teacher is and I haven't seen any new teachers at the table."
"Strange" said Harry looking over his schedule. He looked up, "I hope it's someone fairly easy."
"Now Harry! That's no way to think! We wouldn't want a teacher who would distract us from our studies! Now hurry up and eat, I want to get to class!" Hermione said just as Ron rushed in looking very disgruntled.

Hermione walked with Ron and Harry to their Defense Against the Dark Arts class. She was feeling very excited as she always was for the new year. Harry and Ron were talking about Quidditch tryouts, since they needed a new chaser because one of theirs had been injured over the summer in a transfiguration accident. Hermione smiled as they turned the corner and walked into the classroom. She looked at the desk…and gasped.
"Hello Herm-own-ninny".
A/N: Terribly sorry about that, it's sort of a cliffie. This chapter wasn't that great. Again as I said last chapter, I'm basically setting up for what's to happen next. But I PROMISE you, some major stuff is going to happen next chapter which I promise will be up in a week! REVIEW PLEASE!!! Thanks (
