Chapter 4
All abourd the Hogwarts express.
Hermione sat in the pool for a while just looking at the space Harry had wallked off in. She had been waiting for that for years now and it was even better then she thoight it would be. the only reason Hermione went to the yule ball with krum in fourth year was to try and make Harry jelouse and to ask her out. she knew he liked her and she liked him the only thing she didnt get was what was the problem with it?
in Harry's room...
When Harry got into his room he undressed, showered and then put on his clothes. He then lay on his bed going over and over what had just gone on with Hermione. He really wanted to be with her but the problem was he would be risking his friendships with both Ron andHermione because he knew Ron had a crush on her. He was also scared because of what had happened last year with cho chang when he went out with her for a short while. Harry carried on just lying there on the bed until he heard a knock at the door and Hermione walked in.
She sat on the end of his bed and he could tell she was upset so he sat up looked it to her eyes and instead of the usual happiness and joy he saw in them it was hert and saddness. Hermione looked close to tears when she finnaly said
"look Harry im really sorry for what went on out there i just prusumed you wanted it too. but obviously i was wrong" At this point a single tear slid down her cheak. Harry moved over to her and wipped away the tear and said
"Its not that Hermione it just if we were to go out i would be risking my friendship not just with you but with Ron to. im also worried about your safty because of Voldimort and all that and couldnt bear to loose you Hermione you mean the world to me" He then paused and started again "it not that i dont like you that way because i do i just couldnt risk you mabey after the threat of Voldemort is over we can give it try but for now i cannot act upon my feelings for you."
Just then Hermione interupted him "but i cant wait till then Harry i want you now I need you now!"
"im sorry Hermione but its hurting me just as much as its herting you"
The rest of the summer went passed rather quickly. After that day there was not any awkwardness between them but they were not as close as they used to be because Harry was scared for the love he felt for her, before they knew it they were at the leaky couldron the day before the first september and meeting the Weasleys who were also staying at the leaky couldron that night then they were all going to get a ministry car to kings cross station were they would catch the Hogwarts express. Harry was really pleased that he had meet them there because he got to hear about everything Ron and the Weasleys had got up to. Hermione was having a girly chat with Ginny and about who they liked it turn ed out they both liked the same person.
That night when they went to bed Harry and Ron were talking when Ron said "Hey Harry have you noticed anything diferent anout Hermione? Shes just more.... whats the word?..." just the Harry said something that startled both of them
"she gorgous thats the only way to describe her" then realised what he said and turned a dark shade of scarlet.
Ron laughed and reply "aawww has our little Herry got a crush on Hermione?" he joked
"no i havnt" snapped Harry "of course idont shes my best friend for gods sake"
"dont worry i wouldnt blame you she has turned into some hot stuff over the summer" Ron said dreamily and Harry felt like punching him right here but decided against it. Harry jumped into his bed and fell asleep dreaming of Hermione.
Whan Harry woke in the morning he dressed and then dragged his things down the stairs and into the bar ready for the minastry car to arrive. He then Went into the dinning room to wait for the Weasleys to join him for breakfast. When Harry got there he found Hermione sat there also and sat down the other side of the table. There was a very awkward silence in the room until the Weasleys came down and they Filled the room with the usual chitchat.
After Breakfast the minastry car pulled up and they loaded th lougage in and pulled away. they got to kingscross at about 10:30 and went straight to platforms 9 and 10 to get onto the platform. the trio and Ginny found a compartement then went back out to say goodbye to Mr and Mrs Weasley.
The Hogwarts express pulled out of the station at 11 oclock sharp and they were on their way to Hogwarts the only place Harry called home. Harry and Hermione had to go to the prefect carrage in the middke of the train ride and sat in there with the rest of the prefcts who were told what prefect duties they would be doing this year. Harry wasnt really listening to the meeting he was risisting the urge to jump up and kiss Hermione she ust looked so beautiful and the thing that tormented him more was the fact that he knew she felt the same way about him but yet again his fear for her safty scared him.
When the Hogwarts express turned up Harry andHermione had to start their prefect duties almsost immediatly because they had to get all of the gryffindors into the carrages which were pulled by thressels (SP?) which you could only see if you had see a person die. Once all the gryffindors were in their carrages it was time for Harry and Hermione to get into a carrage and go up to the stone frount steps. Once in the great hall they went and sat next to Ron were they chatted until the Great hall dorrs opened showing the first years.
(A/N i didnt want to do the sorting serimone because it would take too long and this chapter is long enough already)
Once the first years were sorted into their Houses (13 gryffindors, 8 slytherins, 15 hufflepuffs and 12 ravenclaws) Dumbledor stood up and started to talk immediatly the greathall fell silent.
"I only have a few notices the forbidden forest is indeed forbidden to all students hence the name" Dumbledor pointedly looked at Harry "secondly we have a new DADA teacher it is Proffessor Delaocour (sp?) please give her a round of applause" the greatr hall burst with applause which finnaly died down. "and as you all know lord Voldemort" a wave of shivers went past "has indeed returned and so i wish you all the best of luck in your safty whuile you are not with us here at hogwart because this is the only place safe now" With that Dumbledor said the final anouncement "tuck in" and the place filled magicaly before them.
(A/N how was that? please r&r and tell me what you think and were i can improve all comments welcome because this is my first fic.)
