A/N: Okay, my muses are against me and siding in your favorite. I promised myself that I wouldn't work on the sequel until I finished my other stories, but every time I tried to write a chapter, I thought of something for this story. In hopes of pleasing my muses, I'm going to write the sequel. Well, here you go...Oh yeah, this will be written in first person with changing POV. Don't worry, they'll be clearly marked!

~*Harry's POV*~

The summer passed in a blur. I could never remember a time that I was happier. A second close was finding out I was a wizard and that I was leaving the Dursleys for months on end. Now it's better because I never have to see them again. Remus was the best guardian a boy could have. Nights were spent staying up late watching movies and the mornings were spent sleeping away.

I even got to spend a month at the Burrow. Of course Hermione was there, so I spent many hours watching them cuddle. It was funny how they acted. One minute, they were the two people I first met-aka they were arguing over something stupid. The next minute, they were rubbing noses and whispering sweet nothings. It was enough to keep any one entertained.

Tomorrow, we were heading off to school, and I couldn't wait. One would think that I'd never want the summer to end. Come on, I just spent an entire summer without one interaction with the Dursleys. No, I was ready to see one person- Snape, Lorene Snape.

Just thinking about her made my heart flutter. I made a promise that I would not let anything stand in between the development of our relationship. Too many things happen, all which evolved around Voldemort. After his death, which always bothered me, the whole world seemed to keep us apart.

"Harry!" Remus called from the house. "You need to still pack. We have to leave early tomorrow morning if you want to make the train station."

Flying once more around the yard, I angled my broom down. I came to a clean stop in front of Remus and followed him in.

~*Lorene's POV*~

I sat beside the lake, just staring into space. The next school years was about to begin and I couldn't wait. Who knew that a castle could be so boring? I searched every room for something fun to do and had no luck. In the end, I spent many days helping my uncle in his labs.

My thoughts were broken by the arrival of my uncle. "Get up Lorene" he commanded.

"What's wrong uncle?" There was something strange in the way he spoke. He seemed upset.

"I am tired of your brooding. Now get up. We are going to the train station."

"But..."

"No 'buts'. You can ride in with your friends. That means you stop this pity-party. I don't understand...." and on he muttered about how teenagers drove him crazy, etc.

Had I really been throwing myself a pity-party? Yes, I missed my friends and did nothing about it. I just thought they wouldn't want my company. I did write letter to Michelle and Jessy though. They were fine. School started at the beginning of August and they laugh at how popular they had become. Come on, they were friends of the "witch and wizard that killed Voldemort". Each letter begged for me to come and visit them, but I didn't come. I didn't even visit them when my uncle and I went to pick up my things left in my mother's house.

By this time, my uncle had headed back towards the castle. "Hurry up Lorene!" I scrambled up and followed him.

***

The train station was silent. Everyone knew that it would soon be filling with noisy student, so they stayed far away. I stood pacing and bouncing on my toes. Couldn't they hurry? I knew my uncle was laughing at me. Okay, so he was right. I needed to see my friends and I was throwing myself a pity-party. Who cares?

I finally heard the screeching of the train wheels as it slowed down. My bouncing increased. After what seemed like years, the compartment doors were thrown open and students filed out. Hagrid was calling the first years to him, and I was looking for a bright red mop.

I saw Ron helping Hermione down and rushed towards them. Not stopping, I crashed into them. "Sorry," I said, hoping to keep my laughter inside. "I didn't see you there."

"Lorene!" Ron and Hermione said. Harry was just getting off the train, so he escaped the dog pile that I started. Harry helped us up and pulled me into a hug. "How are you?" all three of them asked.

"Ehhhh...pretty bored. You'd never know that there is very little to do in a castle. I'm told that I throw a pretty good pity-party though." They seemed to want to say something, but I cut them off. "So how was your summer?"

Each spun into a tale about how they're summer couldn't get any better. They continued talking as we got into the carriage and as we walked to the Great Hall. They only stopped when the Sorting Ceremony started.

This year was really going to be good.

A/N: Sooooo...whatcha think?
