typing this up on! The characters belong to J.K. Rowling.
Summary: What happens when two best friends both like their other best friend??? Well, I can tell you one thing; it's NOT good. not good at all. In fact, this situation could ruin their friendship... forever.
[Rated PG for mild language, some sensuality, and violence.]

"Hurry Mama! We're gonna miss the train!" Hermione Granger yelled. It was her last year at Hogwarts and she was not going to make a bad start.
"I'm coming sweet heart!" Her mother yelled back, "Just let me get my camera!"
Hermione rolled her eyes. Her mother ran downstairs with her camera in her hand and said, "Say cheese!"
"Cheese" Hermione gritted through her teeth. [God she's so lame!] She thought to herself. The Polaroid picture developed and Hermione stuffed it in her purse. "Now come on!" she said impatiently. "Ok, let's go!" her mother replied.
Hermione got into her car and turned the key. (Beep beep!) She honked the horn and her mother ran out the front door of the house. Hermione stepped on the peddle and they were off to platform nine and three quarters.

"Sirius!" Harry Potter yelled, "Are you ready?"
"Coming Harry!" his godfather yelled back.
He ran downstairs.
"Ok, have you got everything?" Sirius asked hastily.
"Yes." Harry answered.
"You're sure?"
"Positive! Now let's go!" Harry replied laughing.
"Ok. To platform nine and three quarters!" he commanded.
And with that, they apparated.

"Ronald Weasley!" Mrs. Weasley yelled, "Get down here this instant! We're going to miss the train!"
Ron ran downstairs as fast has he could. While levitating his heavy suitcase.
"Oh God." Ginny said, "You're bringing your wizard's chess again???"
"What are you talking about?!" Ron asked in shock, "I always do!"
"Whatever." Ginny replied annoyingly while rolling her eyes.
"Come on kids, get in the fire place, here's your floo powder Ginny dear, you know what to do."
Ginny nodded. "Platform nine and three quarters!" she commanded. She instantly disappeared in flames.
"Your turn Ronnie." Mrs. Weasley said while handing him a handful of floo powder.
"Mum, please don't call me that!" Ron begged, "To platform nine and three quarters!" he commanded.

"Hey Ron!" Harry yelled, "Over here!"
"Hey mate! Watsup?" Ron asked while running over to Harry. "Sorry we couldn't invite you to come this summer, but we were visiting Charley in Bulgaria.
"That's fine. Sirius and I had a great summer!" Harry replied.
"That's good." Ron said. "Seen Hermione yet?"
"No, just you so far." Harry replied.
"Ok."
"Look! There she... " Harry started to say, "woh."
"Haha, good one Harry." Ron joked, "Did you really see her?"
"Ron," Harry replied, "That is her."
"No way!" Ron said.
"Yes way." Harry replied.
They both just stood there staring at Hermione. She had straight hair, had gotten taller, was wearing tight jeans and a tank top, and they couldn't quite tell from where they were standing, but it looked almost as if she was wearing... make-up?!
"Hey guys! How were your summers?" Hermione asked.
They both just stood there staring at her.
"Uh... guys?" Hermione asked while waving her hand back and forth in front of their faces trying to get their attention.
Harry was the first one to 'snap out of it'. "Mione!" he said while picking her up and spinning her around. "You look great!"
Hermione laughed. "Thanks Harry."
Then Ron snapped out of his trance. "Yea Mione! You've changed a lot... "
Hermione looked at him confusedly, then laughed. "Whatever Ron."
Ron blushed.
"Your hair's so... straight." Harry said.
"You don't like it?" Hermione asked making a sarcastic sad face.
"No!" he replied in shock, "I love it!"
"Thanks." Hermione answered blushing, "My mom told me it was time for me to 'move on' from the old, bushy-haired me." She laughed.
"Ah don't worry 'Mione!" Ron said, "We still loved you with your bushy hair!"
"Thanks guys." Hermione replied. "... now lets go find a good compartment on the train before they're all taken!"
She started heading towards the train. When Ron ran in front of her. "Here," he said while opening the door to the train, "Allow me."
Hermione looked at him confusedly, "O... K... thanks... Ron." She said.
When they got in the train and found a good compartment, Hermione was about to put her bag up on the rack when Harry stepped in and said, "Here, let me help you."
Again, Hermione was confused. She decided to forget about it and thanked him.
Ron and Harry finally started to act normal and the train ride went by relatively fast. They got their normal 'visit from Malfoy', who looked over at Hermione and winked at her which made her feel very uncomfortable. [Why is everyone acting so strange?] She thought to herself.
When they got to Hogwarts, Dumbledore made the same speech he always did. Gryffindor got quite a few new first years, and Professor Lupin came back to teach the Dark Arts.
Cho Chang had to stay back a year because of her grades, and everyone was surprised because she was a Ravenclaw, but after thinking a lot about it, they decided to just let it go. What surprised Hermione most though was that Cho walked by the Gryffindor table and eyed Harry, but he totally ignored it and kept talking to her instead.
After the big dinner Harry, Ron, and Hermione practically dragged each other up to the Gryffindor common room. Hermione was head girl but instead of having her own room and common room, requested that she stay in her regular dorm instead, with the rest of the girls.
"I'm off to bed guys, g'night." Hermione said.
"Goodnight." Harry and Ron both replied in unison. They watched Hermione walk up to the girls' dorm, and close the door behind her.
They stood there staring at the door for the next ten minutes straight, until they finally noticed that they were doing. They both shook their heads and blushed. "Uh. we should go to bed too." Harry said. "Yea." Ron replied.
And that ended their first day of their seventh year at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. but there was still much, much more to come.
