CHAPTER 2

"Im starving" Harry muttered

"Pity you didn't buy anything when Lou came round" Ginny replied looking longingly into his eyes

"Lou?" Hermione asked

"Food trolley lady, I made really good friends with her the first time i was on the train, I had no one to hang round with, so she comforted me!"

"Nice, Harry why don't you go down to the front, I remember the lady..I mean..Lou told us once she stays up front with the driver." Hermione told him in one breath.

"I've never been up front, I'll probably get lost" Harry said slumping back in his seat.

"Harry, your Head Boy and you can't even find..." Giny started but was interupted by Ron.

"Goodness, It isn't that hard, you can only walk in two directions on a train, just walk the way the train is moving until you reach some where, if she aint there, turn around and carry on walking til you get to the other end, if theres nothing there, well..."

"Shut up Ron. Come on Harry, Ill come with you" Ginny directed her second comment at Harry taking his hand.

"Ok!" He stood up and followed her out.

They walked down the carridge until they were out of sight of the carridges, Harry gently guided Ginny's back against the wall and began to kiss her. She tipped her head back slighty her ginger hair flowing over her shoulders, almost down to her waist. Harry's hand slid down her waist until they fell into the pockets of her skirt. She placed her hands around his neck and kissed him back passionatly. They heard someone walk past and Ginny opened her eyes and saw Neville. She closed her eyes quickly before he saw her and after a second kindly pushed Harry backwards. She knew Neville had always liked her, not as much as he liked Hermione but she still felt uncomfortable if she was with Harry around him.

"Who was it?" Harry inquired.

"Neville, come one lets get that food" Ginny said brushing the item of Neville out of the conversation.

"But, we'd just started" Harry said looking slightly diminished

Ginny placed a finger on his lips, pulled his head to hers by his shirt collar, kissed him gently on the cheek, then took his hands, interlocked her fingers with his and lead him down the corridor. Harry shrugged and looking happy followed her. His hand, somehow, without him knowing how ( ;) ) was resting on her behind his other holding hers in front, she slid her free hand into his bak posket and kissed his shoulder, the closest she could reach to his head!!

******** ******** ********

Ron and Hermione were left alone in the carridge, Ron threw her glances hoping to catch her eye but unluckly he didn't. He wasn't sure how he felt about Hermione, at the end of the last term, they had shared their first, proper kiss. But it hadn't been mentioned at all over the holiday the 4 of them (Ginny, Harry, Ron, Hermione) had been on together to Eygpt with Bill.

A little later Ginny and Harry had not returned.

"Where are they?" Ron snapped half an hour later.

"Probably going at it in an empty coompartment" Hermione said unconcernedly

"WHAT?"

"I'm joking, calm down. They'll be eating the food at the top carridge, or they might have met Dean or someone."

"Maybe, you were joking weren't you?"

"Yes Ron"

"Hermione, we need to talk, about, about last term"

"What about it?"

"Well, you know..."

"No Ron, I really dont" She looked at him puzzled

"Hermione, we kissed!?!"

"Oh, yeah. I forgot about that" She smirked

"Oh right, so it didn't mean any thing??"

"Ron, you know were just friends. I wanted it to go further then, but straight away I knew it was wrong."

"Why was it wrong?"

"Well I really don't want to lose what we've got now"

"But, why couldn't we try?"

"Ron, I can't, theres someone else"

"What? You can't just go and kiss me, then two seconds later go off with some ponsy other person, who is it?"

"Ron? Two months, not two seconds. And I'm not telling you."

"Its Krum, I know it is" He said looking as if he had cracked a particually hard murder case.

"No it isn't, I gave up on him in 5th year"

"Sure, if it isn't him, who is it?"

At that moment a tall, handsom 7th year walked past the compartment then walked back and looked in. Hermione smiled and drew the glass door open.

"Hey Dennis, good summer?"

The tall Dennis winked and kissed Hermione on the cheek, wispering, but Ron still heard "You know I did gorgeous, had a great time last night, and all the other times." He drew away and glanced at Ron. "Whos your friend?" Hermione glanced at Ron meaningly too.

"Just a friend" she replied, holding Ron's gaze on his last word.
