Chapter 2.

So Hermione disappeared to sort out the first years. Harry and Ron(who was still silent) led Leah to the Gryffindor Common room. They stopped in front of the portrait of the Fat lady.

"This is the entrance to our common room" Harry said

Leah looked confused. Then the Fat lady moved. She jumped back.

"Password?" The Fat lady asked. Leah looked at Harry. Confused.

"Truffles" Harry said. The portrait swung open and they walked into the common room. No one was in there. "I'm going to bed. I'm tired. So. Night!" Harry said and then disappeared up the stairs.

Ron wads sitting by the fire, Leah sat by him.

"Are you always this quiet?" She asked. He remained silent and as constantly looking at the door. Obviously he was waiting for Hermione's arrival.

"No." He finally spoke after remaining silent for an hour or so. "Sorry. I'm Ron weasley by the way"

"I know. She said. Laughing.

They got caught up in a conversation but Ron continued to look at the foor and his watch. Hermione walked in. Ron smiled. Hermione smiled back. She sat on a chair next to them.

"Why are you so late?" Leah asked.

"First years. Nightmare!" Hermione replied. Ron sat on teh arm of the chair Hermione was sitting on. Putting his arms around her.

"Bad first years. Bad!"

Hermione giggled. "I don't remember being like that." Hermione said. Both girls burst out laughing.

"I wil leave my girl and her new friend alone." Ron said. "Night Leah, night Hermione" Then he kissed Hermione on the cheek. Hermione smiled at him. Trying hard not to blush. Ron, like Harry soon disappeared up the stairs.

"Hermione!" Leah said to her.

"What?" Hermione answered.

"You are blushing!" Leah said.

They continued to talk until Hermione went to her dormitory, Leah stayed by the fire.

Hermione sat by the window, and took out the silver locket she was give by Ron. She opened it and she stared at it for a while. Then she fell asleep. Leah sat by the fire all night. Her eyes were filled with tears. But she decided not to cry. So the 4 of them gathered at breakfast. Hermione next to Ron. Hermione on the other side and Leah opposite Harry.

"So what's our first lesson?" Leah asked Hermione who was already planning out her homework timetable.

"Double flying with Ravenclaws." She replied.

They continued to talk while Ron and Harry had a conversation themselves.

"Why were you so quiet yesterday?" Harry asked.

"I was shocked how much Leah and Hermione looked alike" Ron lied.

"Sure..." Harry said with a grin.

"Shut it Harry. You know how much I like Hermione. I love the girl" Ron said.

"Yeh. I know..." Harry said "But I never seen you like that before"

Flying lesson was a real snooze. Madam Hooch spent the whole lesson lecturing them about the history of brooms. Divination was always boring butLeah and Hermione seemed to love it. Acient Runes. Well history was always boring. Unless you are Hermione that is.

After dinner all four of them gathered around the fire in the common room doing homework.

"Hey! Hermione I heard there are going tobe some shooting stars tomorrow. Want to so see it?" Ron asked.

"Sure. I don't see why not" Hermione replied.

"It's 2am tomorrow night. You can get a clear view by the lake apparently. You will hardly be able to see it here." He said.

" It would be breaking rules. But I'd go anywhere as long as I'm with you" Hermione said. Smiling.

Harry found this relationship very interesting and amusing. As ron used to have a real problem with Hermione and same with Hermione. The famous Wingardium Leviosa incident.

Ginny came to join them. Ginny saw the silver chain of Hermione's necklace. Shining in the light created by the fire.

"Hermione, is that a necklace you are wearing? Can I see it please?" Ginny pleaded.

Hermione took it off and handed it to Ginny.

"I don't see why not" Hermione said.

Ginny took the necklace and examined it for a while then said.

"This is pure silver! who gave it to you?"

Hermione remained silent. Ginny opened the locket. She dropped it as she saw the picture inside it. Leah picked it up and looked at it.

"Ron? You and Ron? How did he get this? It can't be pure silver! It just can't be true!" Ginny said. Horrified.

Ron took the necklace from Leah's hand and put it around Hermione's neck.

"It's true Ginny. Believe it or not." Hermione said.

The day after flew by. Hermione and Ron sneaked out into the Hogwarts Grounds to watch the shooting stars.

"Ooh there goes one!" Ron sad.

"Wow this is amazing. I haven't seen anything like this in my life! Thanks Ron.." Hermione said and hugged him. It was getting cold. Ron kept her close in his arms. Checking the time and watching out for teachers. No one else seemed to be out. Just Ron and Hermione.

They retuned to their common room around 3. They sat by the fire. Hermione rested her head on Ron's shoulder and fell asleep. When Leah came into the common room in the morning she saw Hermione and Ron asleep by the fire place...
