"I own nothing I tell you, NOTHING…except maybe the computer..."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione had now entered the Great Hall and were all sitting at the Gryffindor table. The Sorting Ceremony went on and Dumbledore gave his usual speech. There were 7 kids entering the Gryffindor House, 6 kids entering the Hufflepuff House, 3 kids entering the Ravenclaw House, and 6 kids entering the Slytherin house. Everybody got in to conversation in the Great Hall. Friends were happy to see each other again, boyfriends and girlfriends were snogging innocently, hell it was a happy evening. Harry was extremely happy to hear the news that Oliver Wood, Gryffindor's Quidditch Captain, was now teaching at Hogwarts as the Flying Professor. Oliver had graduated two years ago, which made him 19 years old. Hermione and Lavender were in full conversation about each other's summers. "So Hermione! Meet any boy this summer that met your eye?" asked Lavender. Harry suddenly perked his head up to listen more attentively to the conversation the girls were having. "Actually Lav, since the break up with Viktor, I haven't really had the time to think about boys. I mean, half of my summer was ruined in Bulgaria, though the country is truly beautiful, and the other half I spent with all my girl friends back in London." Said Hermione. Harry was relieved though he didn't understand why. Across the hall Draco Malfoy was staring. And not just staring out in the air but at Lavender. Lavender suddenly noticing Draco look at her felt very uneasy. Ron noticed Lavenders awkward behavior and turned around to be staring straight into Malfoy's eyes and mouthing to him to stop what he was doing or else. Malfoy had got the message and decided, finally, to stop. "Thanks Ron" exclaimed Lavender. "Your welcome" he responded. "So Ickle Ronniekins" (A/N: Spelling?) started Fred. "Deciding to get a girl friend this year?" Fred had been going out with Angelina Johnson, one of Gryffindor's chasers, for a year now. " I don't think that's any of you're business, my dear brother. But if I was planning to get one I sure as hell wouldn't tell you." Ron exclaimed. Lavender couldn't help but giggle at the brothers. "WHAT?!" Fred and Ron yelled at the same time. "Nothing, nothing at all…" Lavender said. Dinner was now over and the prefects from every one of the houses were leading the first years to their designed common rooms.
That night Harry, Hermione, and Ron didn't feel like going up to bed. They just decided to stay downstairs in the common room and watch the fire fade away in the fireplace. "I can't believe were back" started Hermione. "I mean can you believe that it was only 2 months ago that we parted. It feels like we never left." Harry had remembered the day they left 2 months ago. It was the 14 of July and Hermione had kissed him on the cheek to say goodbye. Harry had replayed that kiss in his mind that whole day. "I know what you mean," said Ron. "Going back to the Burrow was great but it seemed like a week instead of 2 months. Fred and George were bugging me so much during the summer!" "Oh poor you" said a sarcastic Harry. "I spent a great summer with Sirius, I mean I learned new things about my parents every single day. Also Cho had written to me. She wanted me to go to Cedric's funeral with her. And I did. I owed it to her and I owed it to Cedric, and myself. Then a week after the funeral she asked me to go have dinner with her, reluctantly I went, because I didn't really like her anymore, and she put a move on me! It was priceless! I know I am being a Jerk saying this, but she tried to kiss me, and she actually did and man does she kiss well…ANYHOW!" As Harry said this Hermione felt as if she had a snake crawling up her back. She was envious with jealousy that Cho had kissed her Harry! HER HARRY! 'Wait Mione, he isn't yours and he never was, stop thinking like this, he's your best friend, he doesn't think of you that way, and you don't either!' But Hermione wasn't sure about that. She just wasn't sure. Ron on the other hand was laughing. "Oh man! Cho putting a move on you! Such a Kodak Moment! (A/N: "Click!" took a picture! Hehehe) well at least she got over it. She did get over it right Harry?" "I don't know Ron, I hope she has because I really don't think of her that way at all anymore." Harry, Mione, and Ron had all shut up now, and were just sitting there watching the fire. Suddenly Parvati and Lavender came running down the stairs. "Hi Ron!" exclaimed Parvati. She went up to his side. "It's so great to see you! Have you been working out?" Hermione gave Ron the 'she is so flirting with you hahahaha' look. Ron moved away and stood up. Harry and Hermione were on the floor laughing so hard that they didn't even notice that they were holding each other's hands. When their laughter stopped Harry and Hermione noticed their hands together and they blushed furiously. Lavender was staring at Ron and he at her. Parvati stood up and chucked Ron's arm. "Goodnight" she said. Parvati went running up the stairs back to the girls' dorm. "Since when does Parvati like you Ron?" asked Mione. "She doesn't." Lavender said plainly. "Katie Bell dared her to go down stairs and flirt with Ron…so she did and to make sure it actually happened I had to go down stairs with her to be the witness. I hate dares like that they are so gay! There are A LOT of better dare's out in the world! Well I have to go back upstairs goodnight Harry, Mione, Ron" Lav went to kiss both boys on the cheek before she ran back up the stairs. "That was weird." Said Harry. "Yes it was." Said Ron, who was blushing as red as a rose, and who had an immense smile on his face.
