The next day Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny boarded the train. Ginny ran off in search of her friends and the others took seats in their usual compartment. After hours of eating candy and playing Wizard's Chess, the were finally at Hogwarts. The trio sat together at the Gryffindor (sp?) table and watched the sorting. They were very pleased when Gryffindor got 8 new students. They turned to the table to eat when an enormous feast appeared. When they ate all they could, Proffessor McGonnagal came around and handed everyone their class schedules. "Ahh" Harry thought "5 of the 7 classes are with Slytherin." But his thoughts were interrupted when McGonnagal came to their table once more.

" Harry, Hermione, can I see you for a moment in my office please?" The two exchanged a glance before following her. When they were in her office, she took a seat facing the two, and to their great relief she smiled. "Don't worry, your not in trouble. Quite the opposite, in fact. I have decided to make you two the new 6th year prefects for this year." Hermione looked like she was about to pop out of her seat from excitement, but Harry was a little confused as to why he would be made a prefect. McGonnagal noticed this. "Harry, perhaps your wondering why I made you a prefect?"

"Yea I am, I mean I have good grades and everything, but I got in trouble a lot my first few years here."

"Well yes Harry that's true, but I chose you two for different reasons. Hermione, you're the smartest witch in your grade, probably out of all the Hogwarts students even. And Harry, your good at fighting away the Dark Arts, and with Voldemort rising to power more and more each day, that's a good quality to have in a prefect. But the main reason I chose you was because I know that you will protect each other. Not to many other prefects would die for another one, as I am sure you would each do for the other, am I right?"

"Yes." said Hermione, "without even thinking" added Harry.

"Good, then I presume that you would accept this position?" They both nodded their heads. "Then I'll show you two the Gryffindor prefect quarters, follow me please." She lead them to a portrait that was down the hall from the fat lady. "The password is firebolt." She looked at Harry with a rare smile on her lips and he nodded in agreement. When Harry and Hermione walked in they were a bit taken aback. There was a fairly large common room with a lot of comfy furniture and a fireplace. There were two bedrooms on either side of the rooms with their own bathroom. "My own bathroom" Hermione thought, "now I don't have to get up at 6:00 in the morning to get a hot shower!" Hermione then turned to Harry and said " If the prefects quarter's look this nice, I wonder what the Head Boy and Girl's look like.

"Well hopefully Ms. Granger, you'll find out next year. Now if you'll excuse me, I have business to attend to. Your things have been brought to your rooms already and I'll inform Mr. Weasley of the password." As soon as she left, Harry and Hermione exchanged glanced and ran and jumped on the comfy sofa, kicking off their shoes. Harry then performed a couple of spells and soon appeared a fire in the fireplace, two mugs of pumpkin juice, and a plate of cookies. Hermione stared at him. "Were did you learn to do that, Harry?"

" Your not the only one who reads, Mione." he teased, his eyes twinkling. She just rolled her eyes and sipped the juice. They stayed up until early hours in the morning, just talking about anything an everything. It was getting close to 3 in the morning, when Hermione fell asleep on a pillow in Harry's lap. She looked so peaceful that he didn't have the heart to wake her, so he covered themselves with a blanket and felt himself starting to drift away into a peaceful sleep.
