Chapter 4

A few weeks later, Ron and Hermione stepped through the barrier at King's Cross Station onto Platform 9 ¾. Pushing their carts, the two found Harry and Ginny. Throughout the train ride, the four people had a lovely time discussing the highlights of everyone's August. They all watched the new first years get sorted, and enjoyed the feast. The only thing Ron and Hermione couldn't figure out was the look Harry kept shooting at Ginny. It was the look of victory and being right. It was very confusing. Later, the four of them were all sitting in the study of Hermione's head girl suite.

"So, Hermione," Ginny began to ask, "how'd you like my room, without me in it, I mean."

Hermione looked her friend right in the eyes. "I wouldn't know. I didn't stay in there."

Harry's face began to fall. "You didn't? Then where did you stay?" Ginny really wanted to know.

"In my boyfriend's room."

Harry's face fell even more before he thought of something. "But I thought you stayed at the Burrow."

Ron managed a sputter of indignation before Hermione kissed him full on the mouth. For a full minute, the two stayed like that. When they came back up for air, Harry was digging around his pocket while Ginny held out her hand triumphantly.

"I told you so, Harry."

"I know, but I still can't believe your mum let them stay in the same room," he said, handing her a large stack of coins.
