Chapter 10
September 1st

Harry and Hermione spent most of their time snogging in the Gryffindor Common room rather than in the library Hermione's regular hang-out. They enjoyed the time they spent together, it felt better than any other time they had ever spent together it felt so natural. His mind was telling him that doing something else like going all the way would feel much more natural than this but his heart on the other hand said to tread lightly in pushing her too far too soon.

"Harry, what are you thinking about dear?" asked Hermione breaking the kiss.

"Nothing much, just wondering why I didn't do this earlier," replied Harry.

"what do you mean Harry?"

"Why I didn't express my feelings for you earlier"

"Harry I can look into your eyes and tell that isn't what you were thinking about, Please" Hermione had the most adorable puppy dog face plastered on her face.

"Alright just take that stupid looking face expression off before I Kiss it off." she removed the facial expression off, "I was thinking about how far I should go, should I stick with kissing or go all the way."

"Why Harry I didn't know you cared, I would think we should save extracericular activities 'til we graduate."

Just then an owl flew into the common room when it landed at Hermione's left and stuck it's leg out, she removed the letter and it flew off.

"It's from Tom and Hannah, the Hogwarts Express has arrived and we are needed in the great hall."

"Well what are we waiting for then" but as Hermione got up he noticed how good she looked in her school uniform, he thought to himself she is going to have to wear that after school as well she looks damn good in it.

"Harry are you comming or not?"

"Comming Hermione"

So Harry followed Hermione to the great hall following through several corridors and past several classrooms in which they could have'd snogged again down several flights of stairs and into the great hall. When they entered it they noticed Tom was standing inline with the incoming first years.

"I thought he was sorted in to Hufflepuff." Said Harry

"Well i guess they need to make it look real," Replied Hermione

"Guess so, I really think he likes it there though.

"Why?"

"I'll give you one guess" Harry said this while looking at Hannah.

"I plan on telling Tom about her past romantic endeavors"

"I think it is up to him to figure it out, not us to tell him, anyways I think this relationship will work," (Harry said in a this is the end of this issue tone)

"No it is his right"

"You didn't see them in the car, they both fell asleep in the car and were holding each other."

"So what are you saying that this is true love at the deepest level they are experising, I don't believe it"

"Believe it Sirius will confirm it"

By the time they got done with this discussion the sorting was half over.

Hart, Jason
Ravenclaw

Hoffman, Heidi
Hufflepuff

Jacobs, Lisa
Slytherin

fast forward through the sorting right to .....

Students we have a new transfer student from America I have to ask you not to pry about his history because he needs his space his name is Tom Smith, he will be sorted like the rest of the first years,

For what the hat says I refer you back to chapter 6

Hufflepuff!

Tom ran over to the seat Hannah had saved for him and pulled himself closer to Hannah, while Hannah introduced him to her friends which strangely all girls.

"Tom this is Susan Bones, Anne Moon, and Lisa O'Brien, Susan, Anne, Lisa, this is Tom Smith"

"Nice to meet you Tom said to the only girl that offered her hand to him" (Susan) all the other girls eyed him with suspicion.

"Hannah," Anne said to Hannah, "he's an American and Americans can't be trusted"

Hannah took this harsh statement and smacked Anne across the face, "How dare you you bitch" she smacked her again

"Hannah why are you smacking your friend?" Tom said obivious to Anne's statement

"She just said Americans can't be trusted" Replied Hannah

"Let her think that way, I'll just introduce her to my friends and she can deal with him, anyways, in America she would be welcome to her opinion"

"Really"

"Of course freedom of speech, although Bush would have her locked up for that statement"

Later during the feast. Dumbledore made some start of term anouncements

"Did he say anouncements" Tom said"

"Yes he did" replied Hannah

(Tom, Hannah, Fred, and George)
Anouncements, Anouncements, Anouncements, Hey
We sold our Cow, Moo
We sold our Cow, Moo
We have no use for your bull now
Anouncements, Anouncements, Anouncements, Hey
(If anyone can tell me where i got that from I'll give you a cookie He he he!)

Dumbledore as usual found this highly amusing, Snape however turned green and said "Not another one"

"Aright" continued Dumbledore i would like to introduce Sirius Black as the Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher, and Mr. Fred and Mr. George Weasley as the flying instructers, also i would like it to be known that all students under sixth year are now forbiden to visit the village of Hogsmead do to the increased Death Eater attivity, also at the Holloween feast there will be a kareoky (i know it is mispelled help me please) contest, Music is limited to American Hardcore rap, Hip Hop and Weird Al Yankovic only.

Thank you now that we are all full I would like you to return to your Common Rooms and get to meet your new house mates.

On the way to the Hufflepuff common room Tom and Hannah ran into Peeves

"So an American tart decided ............." Caccled Peeves but Tom Cut him Short

"Scurge" Screamed Tom Peeves went in to uncontrolable loop-de-loops while Hannah and the rest of the Hufflepuffs laughted

Tom cut the spell and said "Peeves if you ever call me that again I will destroy you, do you understand me"

"Yes Master" Peeves said sourly

"Good, Scurge" Replied Tom. And he continued to walk with Hannah.

"Don't you think you should take that spell off of Peeves," asked Hannah

"Oh alright" Tom muddered the Counterspell and peeves stopped spinning.
