Disclaimer: i own nothing.
I got the HP5 book. so cool!!! currently only on chappie 17, though. long book!
While most of the story will be from Harry's point of view, this is a Ron/Hermione romance story. once i get through this, it will make sense.

Chapter 1

Harry boarded the Hogwarts express on Sept. 1st, eager to get to school. It was his final year at Hogwarts, and, even with the problems in the wizarding world, he was happy. He sat down in the last compartment, waiting for Ron and Hermione to get here. He checked his watch. He was early. It was only about 10:45. Harry spotted Ron and Hermione walking towards the train, Ginny behind them. Harry waved to them, and the three walked onto the train.
he said to them when they'd put they're trunks above them and sat down.
Hi, Harry, they all chorused. They chatted for about 10 minutes, then Hermione stood, Ron getting up too.
I need to go to the front of the train. I'm Head Girl(A/N:big surprise) and i need to be there to inform the new prefects. I'll see you all later. She turned to Ron, kissed him softly, and left the compartment. Harry smiled.
Ron and Hermione had danced around the feelings they'd obviously had for each other for years now. Finally, after a particularly big row at the start of 6th year, Hermione had asked why he cared that she was friends with other guys, that he always stuck up for her, and a number of other things. He had cried because he loved her. Hermione had stared in disbelief. Ron had taken three strides forward and kissed her. And she had kissed him back. They'd been dating ever since.
Hermione returned about an hour later and sat with her boyfriend, lacing her fingers with his, and laid her head on his shoulder. She fell asleep soon afterward. Ron smiled and laughed slightly.
She needs this. She hasn't slept much lately. Too excited about making Head Girl. he smiled at Harry, who grinned back. The food trolley came through a while later. Ron, not wanting to wake Hermione, handed Harry some gold and told him what to buy for him and Hermione. Hermione woke about an hour after that, and ate what Ron had saved for her.
The train stopped suddenly, and the lights flickered, then died. Hermione stood immediately.
she said, and her wand lit up. The others did the same.
What's going on? Ron said, looking around.
I'm going to go check. Hermione said, and left the compartment. She returned a few minutes later. It's just a little problem outside.
The train started again only minutes later, and they all sat again.
When the Feast was over, and everyone had gone back to their common rooms, the trio sat by the fire, Harry in an armchair, Hermione curled up next to Ron on the couch. They chatted lightly for a while, then said their good nights. Harry turned back in time to see Ron kiss Hermione good night. He smiled in spite of himself. They were meant to be. Though Harry himself didn't have a girlfriend, he believed it best that way. If he fell in love with someone, they could become a target for Voldemort, and he didn't want that to happen.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry buried his face into his pillow, trying to rid the scene he'd just walked in on from his mind. It was March, and Harry had seen what he really didn't need to.
He had been going up to Hermione's Private Head Girl room to ask about the next day's homework. He had told Hermione earlier about the fact that he might come up.He had knocked quietly and, hearing nothing, had opened the door. He was met with a rather disturbing scene.
Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable finding they're two best friends shagging in bed? Harry shook his head vigorously to rid the picture from his mind. He knew that lately Ron and Hermione had become....intimate, but to walk in on it was pure torture. Giving up, he went down to the common room.
Ron and Hermione were already there, sitting together, staring into the fire. They saw him come in out of the corner of their eyes, and turned to him.
Hermione started at once. I'm sorry, Harry. I-I completely forgot about you possibly coming up to ask about the homework. I didn't mean for you to walk in like that. I thought I'd locked the door...... She broke off, blushing. Ron's ears were pink from embarrassment. Well, Harry reasoned, he hadn't been caught naked with his girlfriend by his closest friend.
It's all right. I'm just trying to forget it. But one thing, you two. Next time, make sure the door is locked. I never want to see that again. He got up and went back to bed.
