Weeks passed by and hermione's band had yet to think of a name. They searched for a bassist, and found that the best they could find was the one and only Justin finch fletchley is that his name? from hufflepuff.
hehe, I just couldn't resist making them from different houses...yay!
So whilst hermione's band was thinking of a name, writing songs and rehearsing-
"Sorry babes, I just don't see 'us' working long distance for that long...you understand don't you?" said Ron, hoping that he was sounding at least a bit sad.
Harry and Ron had found that the day had come to break up with their 'Summer-flings'.
It was the day before they left for Hogwarts, and they couldn't be happier. It was great having time-off, but they both decided that it had been long enough. Well they would have loved to stay at home and go to skool, but the girls had become to clingy.
"But Ronny! We can write to each other everyday! If you're worried that i'll cheat on you, I promise I won't! it's you that I love, only you! don't leave me!"
The poor girl was begging Ron to stay here, and being Ron he left leaving the girl on the floor, but not without the word 'pathetic' leaving his lips.
When Ron got back to his house, he looked for Harry, who went to break up with his girl at the same time, but couldn't find him.
He sat down at the kitchen table when he heard a voice from behind,
"so how'd it go?"
He turned around to find Harry leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed.
"Talk about desperate, she was practically begging me!"
"Well at least yours didn't cry..."
It seems Harry's girl had taken it worse than ron's.
She's still crying....hehe
Anyway, off the subject. You packed for tomorrow?" asked Ron
"yep. I can't wait to get back actually. I think I need to hear hermione's voice nagging me about my homework"
"oh shit! my transfiguration homework! I didn't do it! oh great, I'm never gonna hear the end of it now am I?"
" I was right, we need Hermione back"
The next morning was very hectic. Considering it was only Harry, Ron and Ginny going, they had already packed, everything was in the car, they were on time, and had eaten their breakfast, it was not entirely predictable they were going to be late.
That is of course until-
"I just came to say goodbye Harry...and...and..."
"yeah, that's great, now I, er, have to go, so c ya!" Harry quickly sed whilst running to the car so he could get away.
"DRIVE! DRIVE!" Harry yelled at mr.weasley, he needed to get away from this girl as soon as possible.
When they reached the train station I can't remember the name of the train station! nooo! they all passed through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10.
Ginny spotted her friends immediately and left Harry and Ron to find Hermione.
" HARRY! RON! OVER HERE!" Someone yelled.
Harry and Ron both turned around at the same time, they searched for someone they recognised, but didn't see anyone, so turned back round and carried on towards their compartment.
Hermione knew they wouldn't recognise her so she followed them to the compartment at the end of the train, leaving Draco, Justin and Terry organising a weekly rehearsal. She walked onto the train and slid the door open of the compartment, and saw Harry and Ron look up at her from sitting opposite each other.
"Well hello there Mr. and Mrs. i'm-not-gonna-recognise-my-best-friend!"
"Hermione?"
"HERMIONE!"
They both stood up and stared in shock at Hermione. Whilst they were studying her, she was studying them.
It seemed that Harry and Ron and grown up over the summer, but that was expected. She smiled at the thought of what the girls were going to think of them at hogwarts.
"where did you?-"
"how did you?-"
"what on earth-"
"what the hell-"
"WOW!"
She sat down on ron's side of the compartment, and the boys resumed their positions before she came in. Although they did have a surprised look plastered on their faces.
After a moment's silence,
" care to explain?" harry asked.
Harry, coming to realise that this was Hermione, was as impressed as Draco when they first met. Yes, he thought the girl who entered their compartment was fit, but the Hermione who opened the door was just a shock.
'She's grown more hot over the summer, than how she was last year.' he thought.
He had admitted that he thought she was hot, but he knew that you could think someone was gorgeous and not fancy them, so he left it at that.
"Well there's a lot of things that have changed this summer. like my clothes-"
" I'll say!" interrupted Ron, "since when did you start wearing tight 'blink-182' T-shirts?"
Harry could tell from Ron's eyes that e was fighting a loosing battle with his emotions as he looked Hermione up and down.
Ron was so impressed that his mind had blanked, and he couldn't do anything except for stare.
"Since now," Hermione replied back, "after last year when I finished my OWL's I thought that it was time to relax, so that I could prepare for more hard work this year. Well, I met this girl called Jessica, and we became good friends, and she must have rubbed off on me."
" So she was the one ho influenced you to get your haircut?" asked Harry.
" well I like my hair like this, I used this straightening stuff to sleek it a bit more, and then I roughed it up a bit."
There was a 30 second silence between the friends when draco appeared in the doorway. Ron immediately stood up at seeing him.
"what do you want?"
Draco looked at Ron, then Hermione, then back at Ron. He understood that she hadn't told them, but he couldn't be bothered to cause trouble at the moment, he'll be back for that. Right now all he needed was to talk to Hermione.
" I need to talk to her" he said, nodding in her direction.
"and what makes you think that she wants to talk to you?" Ron replied
Hermione started to get frustrated now,
" I do have a name you know!" and she walked out the compartment.
Draco let one more smirk play across his face and then left behind Hermione.
Ron sat back down in his seat opposite Harry.
"well that was...interesting..."

When Hermione arrived back at the compartment she was bombarded with questions. She was going to tell them about the band, that is until Ron said,
"Dunno what you were doing with that shit face! what were you thinking of walking off with that muthafucka?"
With that Hermione thought it best not to tell them, so she lied,
"It was a prefect thing. Draco had been made a prefect this year, and I really doubt you wanna hear about that sort of stuff"
1 little white lie wasn't gonna hurt, and it was part true. Draco had been made a prefect this year.
' great, that'll be a good excuse for the band rehearsals' Hermione thought.
After the eventful beginning of the journey, it turned into more catching up time.
Hermione was told about the girls they had met, well at least Ron was telling her. Harry didn't really wanted to tell Hermione about him going out with another girl. Somehow it didn't seem right to him. Presuming it was because she was a girl as well, he sat there listening to Ron, who was obviously trying to prove what a babe magnet he was.
"So this girl was soooo 'in love' with me that this other girl got jealous-" Ron was interrupted by a knock on the door. The door slid open revealing Lavendar.
"Hey guys! Hermione, cool new look! and....woah!...hellooooooo boyz"
she said this with a little sexy wave to the boys. Hermione rolled her eyes, but lavender didn't see it so she carried on,
"So, I've just heard the great news. Draco told me, well he didn't exactly tell me directly. Finally eavesdropping pays off. But I just wanted to come in and say, Hermione you devil! who would have thought...you! and you haven't even got a name yet!"
Hermione was trying to get Lavender to shut up by shaking her head, and widening her eyes, so she went for the drastic approach.
" hey lavender! what's that shiny bit on your nose?"
" shiny? no way! my foundation must have rubbed off! I've got to go, don't look at me!"
She said as she left the compartment, covering her nose with her hand.
Harry turned to Hermione with a curious look on his face, which Hermione thought was incredibly cute.
"What was all that about? 'Hermione you devil'? Draco?"
' oh crap,' she thought, ' think of something quick! You're meant to be the smart one!'
"urm, well, draco was obviously...talking about ..the ..big event...coming up"
" big event?" both boys asked at the same time
'damn, you both have to make this so much more harder!' she though frantically.
" well we were planning on organising a dance/concert thing?"
" so what was lavender talking about a name for?" ron asked.
" a name for the dance stupid!" Hermione replied, as if he was being thick.
Harry looked at Hermione, searching for something but got nothing.
" how about 'dance'?" he said whilst mimicking a sign with his hand in the air.
" haha, mr.funny man." Hermione said.
She was definitely astonished, not only did they believe her, but they were actually taking the micky out of her not being able to think of name.
O f course this brought up a lot of pressure on Hermione. She now had to organise a dance with Draco. Harry and Ron would never believe that she wouldn't be able to organise a stupid little dance.
'Well that's 1 more thing to add to the 'talk to draco list' about' she thought looking outside the window.
