Harry looked out the window and saw nothing. There was another loud "BOOM!", but it didn't come from outside, but it can from behind the portrait. Harry opened up the portrait door and saw Ron about to give another humongus heave at the portrait.

"Oh not again!" the portrait cried.

"Ron," Harry said puzzled.

"Yeah mate, sorry about pounding on the door so much I didn't know the password. Oh yeah, Hermione is on her way up here. She is having some troubles getting her trunk up the stairs," Ron replyed.

"But how did you get here?" Harry asked.

"It is always good to have a father that bewithces everything muggle that he can get his hands on," Ron said grinning widely. "This time it was a flying Chevrolet."

Harry gave Ron a you-know-you-shouldn't-have-done-that-Hermione-

sort-of-look.

"Don't worry mate, no harm done. Well maybe a little to that menace of a tree," Ron said.

Harry looked out the window and saw the Whomping Willow slashing viciously at the warm summer air. Harry grinned, but as soon as it came it went again Harry had thought of something.

"But in broad daylight Ron, you could have been seen," Harrysaid turning back from the window and looking at Ron.

"It's ok mate. There was an invisiblity switchy thingy again, and plus Hermione didn't mind when I went to her house to pick her up," Ron said.

Harry heard a thud and a small sigh. He turned his head and saw Hermione tiredly drop her trunk.

"Hello Harry," Hermione said walking up to Harry and giving him a hug.

"Uh...Hello Hermione," Harry said pushing Hermione away.

"Don't uh Hermoine me," said Hermione, "We just flew for hours to come keep you company."

"Well, how did you guys know that I was here?" Harry asked.

"Ron's dad of course," Hermoine answered.

Harry turned around to go back through the portrait when someone called is name.
