Chapter 4

"Harry!" Hermione shouted as soon as she caught sight of her friend Harry Potter.

"Hermione, Ron!" Harry replied as he smiled.

Hermione instantly put her arms around Harry and gave him a hug.

"I missed you," she whispered.

"I missed you too, Mione, I missed you too," Harry replied.

They jumped apart blushing when they heard Ron cough. They turned toward him smiling sheepishly.

"Ron, how have you been?" Harry asked.

"Oh, it was bloody murder," Ron complained, "Mum put me and the twins to work in the garden."

Harry cringed remembering how brutal that was after an all especially if it was only a few people working.

"I feel sorry for you Ron, but hey the extra work gave more color to your skin than red," Harry joked.

Ron blushed, "Oh shut up Harry!"

"What about you, Harry?" Hermione asked.

"The Dursley's left me alone for most of the summer, but my Aunt did make me work in her garden pulling up all those weeds," Harry answered, "But I gotta admit the work did give me a tan just like you Ron. Except, I was pale, you were just red," Harry added.

Hermione tried to contain her giggled as Ron blushed again. She admits that the summer gave the boys much more change than she realized. Ron grew into his tall form so that he didn't look so lanky anymore. Along with practicing Quidditch over the summer, by also working in his mom's garden, he developed his muscles rather nicely. Harry on the other hand, didn't look so skinny and pale anymore. He, like Ron, developed his muscles after years of playing on the Gryffindor Quidditch, and also working in his aunt's garden. The only thing that didn't change about the two were their humor, and friendliness, and of course their eyes. Ron's brilliant blue eyes that stood out before with his red hair, now stood out even more with the tan. Harry's bright emerald eyes seem to glow against his tan skin, and dark hair. Oh, let's not forget the glasses; wait...Where are the glasses?

"Harry, where are your glasses?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Bloody mate, where are your glasses?" Ron echoed.

Harry smiled, "Oh, now you noticed," He teased, "I convinced my Aunt and Uncle to take me to get contacts in the summer."

"Ooh," Hermione and Ron said in unison.

"Wait, they just took you to get contacts just like that?" Ron asked curiously raising an eyebrow.

"Well..." Harry trailed off.

"Spit it out, Harry, what else did you do?" Hermione asked.

"Oh alright, I threatened here and there with Sirius's name," Harry finally admit.

"Brilliant Harry, brilliant," Ron exclaimed.

Hermione shook her head smiling.

"What?" Harry asked as he smiled noticing Hermione shaking her head.

"Nothing, nothing, Harry," Hermione answered but kept smiling.

"Hermione, tell me," Harry said.

"Nothing, Harry," Hermione answered.

"Don't make me and Ron tickle it out of you," Harry threatened.

"Oh, no, you better not, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley," Hermione said as she tried to stand up.

Harry looked at Ron, and they smiled at each other.

A couple of students walked by their compartment, and heard a scream followed by fits of laughter. They looked at each other with questions in their eyes and then shrugged. They continued on their way to their compartments.
