A murmur of amazement could be heard throughout the Great Hall from the first years.
"Wow," whispered Hermione. "Its more beautiful than ever.
"I think so too."
"Me too"
"Ahem," Dumbledore cleared his throat. Repeating the same speech he had made continuously for the past four years, He also had some new news. "I am happy to announce the new prefects for this year. They are, from Hufflepuff, Justin Flinch-Fletchly and Hannah Abbot! From Ravenclaw, we have Cho Chang and Craig MacDonald. In Slytherin, our prefects will be Blaise Zabini and Draco Malfoy! And finally, from Gryffindor, we have Hermione Granger and." Dumbledore dragged out his next statement, "Harry Potter!"
A burst of clapping and encouragement rang out from the Gryffindor table as the last two names were announced. "Congratulations guys!" Ron said as he slapped Harry and Hermione on the back." I always knew you would make it!"
Harry blushed as Hermione reached over and embraced him, whispering words of encouragement in his ear. For not the first time, Ron coughed. Hermione sat up and turned bright red as she realized the position they had managed to put themselves in when she hugged him.

After a delicious and filling meal, Harry and Hermione lead the first years back to the Common Room. Reaching the Fat Lady and saying the password, "house elf," Harry, Ron and Hermione plopped down onto the nearest sofa and talked over the days events.
"Well, I'm famished," sighed a tired Hermione. "I'm going up to bed." She stood up, and eyed the two of them. "You boys really should come up to bed soon, she lectured, then trotted up the stairs to bed.
"So that's that," Ron said, grinning at Harry.
"What's what?"
"You like her, don't you?"
"Like who?"
"Hermione, that's who."
"Me? I don't like her, not that way, anyway. I like her as a friend, maybe even love her as a friend, but not in any other way."
"Sure." Ron grinned. "I saw the way you looked at her.
"I didn't look at her in any way. Your just making this stuff up. Anyway, I'm going to bed. You should come soon."
Ron sighed as his friend went up the stairs. "my friend is finally in love and he doesn't even know it," he thought to himself.
I know, I know, another short chap. At least it is a chapter. Please read and review!
