Chapter 1
It is the summer before the 7th year of Hogwarts for Harry and the 7th year of Beaubaxtons for Ron and Hermione.
"Er--- Harry… we've got to tell you something before we leave tomorrow for our new school…" said Ron.
"Yes Harry, you see…" Hermoine continued with a quick glimpse at Ron.
"What is it? Is anything wrong?" Harry replied looking a bit worried and anxious about what they were going to say.
"NO, HARRY!!!" Ron and Hermoine shouted in unison.
"Hermione, you be the one to tell him…" Ron said looking at his feet.
"Ok, you see Harry, at the end of last year I asked my parents if I could stay with Ron for the summer since my parents would be in Paris to see a client, fortunately, they agreed. So er— I've sorta been feeling something about Ron… and later did I know that he was feeling the same way----" "wait, so you mean… you two've been going out these past few months?" interrupted Harry.
Ron and Hermione nodded while looking at their feet but still looking for the reaction of Harry through the side of their eye.
Harry laughed and said "Good… my friends have found their pair!"
"You're okay with it?" Ron said in astonishment.
"Yes, you see… I too have got my own pair I've been keeping from you, though I've been with her before so you know her"
Harry paused, looking for the right words.
"I've been going out with Cho before I came here, to the burrow and---"
"YOU'VE BEEN GOING OUT WITH THE GIRL WHO USED YOU IN 5TH YEAR?!?" Hermione interrupted.
"Er--- she didn't really use me she just---"
"She used you to rebound the memory of Cedric Harry…" muttered Ron.
"LISTEN TO ME FIRST!!! She was still in the trauma of Cedric's death when we were together… She thought that having me with
her would be like having Cedric with her again. She told me this when I told her how I felt being hurt by someone you love so
much and she understood me. We have been only friends during 6th year and I guess at the end of the school year we wanted
to be more than friends. Wait… let's not talk about me!!! So what have you guys been up to these months?" Harry smiled at the
both of them.
"Oh… nothing…" Ron and Hermione said in unison.
"Ok… I don't believe you but anyway… I want you to know that I'll miss you when you leave so don't forget to send letters ok?"
"Of course!!! We'll miss you too Harry" said Hermione as she hugged Harry good-bye.
Harry packed his things and left the burrow for Diagon Alley to buy his school materials. Since it was only one more day before
the departure of the Hogwarts express, he decided to stay at Leaky Cauldron for the night.
