Featuring Harry Potter
Chapter 4
We had spent the entire time at Hogwarts working out and perfecting our techniques. It was finally time for us to meet our friends at the train station in England and we knew we had to get there before everyone else so that no one would ask us why they didn't have our trunks.
When they were dressed they all appairiated to Platform 9 and 3/4. I looked thugged out in my outfit. I had a few bruises on my body and I couldn't exactly explain how they got there without telling them I'm taking self defense and why.
Well, we finally popped up in front of the magenta Hogwarts train. We walked into the train and sat in out regular seats. Soon people started to walk in the train and go to their seats. All of a sudden voices were blasted and doors were being opened and closed. Since people were now boarding we decided to go out and see if Ron's parents were there.
When we got outside we saw a bunch of 1st and 2nd years but no one that they knew. We noticed a few students staring at us...well staring at Harry so we walked to a corner and waited for our friends to arrive.
Ten minutes later a group waked in. It was Ginny and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. We walked up to them and gave then a hug. "Hey Mrs. Weasley," I replied.
"Hello dear. How was your time in the States?" Mrs. Weasley asked looking at them.
"It was great. It was definetly a trip to remember," I said while recieving nods from Harry and Ron.
"So did y'all go to any malls?" Ginny asked.
"I went shopping like I was never going to see another store. I have so many new clothes and I brought them all. How was your summer?" I asked Ginny
"It was boring to say the least but hey, here's the new year and I'm a 5th year so things are looking up." Ginny said right before there was a big commotion.
We looked to the entrance to see who it came from and we soon found out who caused the disruption. Draco and his goons decided that they wanted a grand entrance. When he looked at us we rolled our eyes and walked onto the train.
Ginny walked with us to our compartment. She sat next to Ron on the other side of the compartment while I sat next to Harry. we didin't cuddle like we did the last time because we didn't want everyone to know that we were a couple yet.
As soon as we got comfortable the compartment door was opened by none other than the winch herself, Cho Chang. She was in her usual slut gear and she smiled when she caught eyes with Harry but that soon changed when she saw me sitting next to him. I knew she dispised me and believe you me the feeling was mutual.
She walked over to Harry and smiled, "How was your vacation Harry?"
"It was good Cho. What exactly do you want?"
"I just wanted to see how my boyfriend's summer was," she said feining hurt.
"Girl please. I haven't been your boyfriend for almost 6 months now. It's over," Harry said lightly but firmly.
"But Harry we were so good together. We can be good again," Cho said in a soft voice.
"No we can't. I don't think my girl would appreciate that," Harry said earning a surprise look from Cho as well as Ginny.
"Who's this girl you're dating Harry?" Cho asked.
"That's none of your concern Cho. Just know that I'm not feelin' you and that I have a girl that I'm happy with," Harry said.
"Alright, I'll leave but know that this ain't over and you will want me back before the year is over," she said as she turned to walk to the door.
"I seriously doubt that Cho but if that will get you through your day than be my guest," Harry said before she walked out the compartment.
"So who do you go with Harry?" Ginny asked.
"Can you keep a secret?" Harry asked.
"You know I can," she said anxiously waiting for Harry's answer.
"I think I can trust you with this. I'm dating Hermione," he said as he grabbed my hand.
"I knew it!" Ginny said with a big smile on her face.
"How did you know?" I asked, surprised at her reaction.
"I always thought that you and Harry would be the perfect couple. I've known that y'all were perfect for each other since my 3rd year. I noticed how y'all would act towards each other and I knew that y'all were destined to be together," Ginny said with a smile.
"But I thought that you liked Harry," I said.
"Please, that was a crush and I got over that a long time ago. Harry's like another brother to me. I could never look at him romantically now. I do have a prospect for a boyfriend but I'm going to keep that underwraps for now," Ginny said with a mysterious smirk on her face.
"Is it someone we know?" I asked.
"That's a stupid question. You know mostly everyone at this school but yeah you know him," she said.
"Is he in our house?" I asked.
"No and that's all I'm saying. You won't find out until I'm ready," she said causing me to laugh.
Harry looked at me and smirked knowing exactly what I was thinking. I mean if I really wanted to know who she liked I could have probed her mind until I found out but I wasn't going to do that because she was my best friend and if she didn't want me to know than I will respect her request. Ginny just looked at me like I just lost my mind.
The train started moving and as soon as we got out of the station our compartment door opened and Karen walked in. She sat down next to Ron and Ginny looked very surprised at her motion and the lack there of on Ron's part. Ron was a well known player and he didn't usually spend quality time with a girl unless he was on a date or trying to get her to go out with him. Ginny watched as Karen leaned her head on Ron's shoulder and how Ron pulled her closer to him. It was almost as if Karen was his..."
"Wait a minute! Ron has a girlfriend?!" Ginny somewhat yelled in disbelief.
"Not exactly a girlfriend but she might be soon," Ron said smiling at Karen.
"What exactly happened while y'all were on vacation?" Ginny asked exasperated.
"We found something worth fighting for," Harry said staring at me.
"Is that so?" Draco sneered.
"What do you want Malfoy?" Harry asked in an emotionless voice.
"I wanted to know if the rumor was true. I guess it is," Draco said staring at Harry. "So who is it?" he asked.
"Who's what?" Harry asked.
"Who's your girlfriend Potter?" Drace said as if it was the only obvious answer to the question.
"What's it to you Malfoy?" Harry asked.
Human interest Potter and maybe because Cho is telling everyone that she will get you back. She thinks that you're dating someone just to get back at her for cheating on you. I just wanted to kow if it was true or not," Malfoy replied.
"Well don't worry about who I'm dating just know that my life does not revolve around Cho. I'm with my girl because I like her not because of some little revenge on Cho, I don't like her enough to do something like that," Harry said.
"Whatever Potter. I need to talk to you Weasley," Malfoy said looking at Ginny.
"Okay," she said recieving curious looks from Harry, Ron, and I.
Once she was gone I looked at Harry and said, "You don't think that Malfoy's the one she was talking about do you?"
We all looked at each other and said, "Nah", in unison.
We had a while before the witch with the snack cart would come so we all got into a comfortable position and went to sleep.

Ginny walked with Malfoy to his empty compartment. Crabbe and Goyle had went out to bother some people so Malfoy had some time to speak with Ginny privately.
"Draco..." Ginny started but was interrupted by Malfoy's finger.
"Ginny, I know that you like me and I would like you to be my girl but you can't tell anyone. My father would burn me alive if he knew I was dating a Gryffindor...a Weasley no less so I need you to keep this on the DL," Draco said.
"I'm cool with that. My brother wouldn't exactly be thrilled if they knew I was dating you either so this works both ways," Ginny said.
Draco pulled her close to him and kissed her softly but quickly on the lips. "Meet me in the Astronomy room tonight at 10," Malfoy said before he let her go.
Ginny walked back to the compartment she shared with her brother and best friends. When she got in the room she noticed that they were all asleep. She crawled over to the empty seat beside Ron and found herself going to sleep but before she did she sighed and whispered, "At least everything's calm for now."
