A/N: wow I got reviews already! And from some of my favourite authors too!
I'm happy, I feel like writing :-D you people get more now! I own nothing!
oh, yeah and a note I forgot to make: I'm a huge fan of HP I'm probably read the series ten times now and am WELL aware that Harry never went out with Ginny yet, and so on and so forth. And keep in mind that this next year at Hogwarts, Ginny's 5th year...is indeed Harry's 6th. I've read up on some great starting fics on the 6th book, but I'm just gonna keep mine as simple as a normal school year, as if Voldy isn't back or something I dunno - maybe I'll throw something in, we'll see what the plot poppers say... But right now they say: ON WITH THE STORY!
NOTE: Oh yeah and ff.net is being stupid and not putting in new paragraphs properly so they're all spacey now...
/*IMPORTANT!!!*/: Oh and another thing – this is a repost in a way – this chapter two...I posted the other one the other day – omg I feel so sorry about that – really I do. So stupid! I wrote that when I had NOTHING to write about...so I did delete it and now I'm fixing it. I don't even know why I posted it...i knew I did nothing in it but crap. So anyway I apologize for the two reviews who had to read that! :-P Plus I made a year mistake – in chapter one I believe I said the summer after Ginny's fourth year meaning the trio's 6th year coming up – so yeah. I never intended for Neville to be a prefect anyway. My poor reviews probably think I'm a loser now *weeps*.

Chapter 2
They spent the rest of the warm, August day getting school supplies and gocking at random new items in the stores along the streets of Diagon Alley. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny had split up from the others to go have a look in Quality Quiddich Supplies, promising to meet up at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor before going back to the Burrow.
They walked in out of the slight breeze, bell chiming at the top of the door, announcing their entrance. Ron and Harry immediately rushed over to the newest broom in stock (/The Lightening Bolt/) to gock at it's perfectly manicured twig tail and waxed ash handhold. Hermione, who had found a few, small, leather bound book with "Quidditch Though The Ages" embroidered in gold on the cover, and was flipping through, stopping for a moment to read a bit of "Chapter Four: The Arrival of the Golden Snitch" with a funny drawing of the small, plump-looking Snidget bird. Harry and Ron were talking excessively of the easiness of the new /Lightening Bolt/ and discussing and trading information they knew, nodding and making exciting motions.
Hermione placed the worn leather book back in the small stack. Ginny was wondering around looking at different snitch models and bludger bats, listening to Harry and Ron ramble on no end about the new broomstick. Hermione watched her for a moment, wondering around the room.
She'd grown up a whole lot – all most overnight – she was beautiful. Her hair was beyond shoulder length and slightly wavy. Her skin had gotten tanner, and her eyes a deeper blue...seemingly almost slightly purple that matched beautifully with her red, brown, golden hair that sheeted over her dark blue sweatshirt, matching her eyes.
Hermione shook her head, tearing her eyes away form her best friends' sister. 'Was I just /thinking/ about Ginny? No...I couldn't have. ...Probably just my imagination...' her thoughts were interrupted by the store clerk coming up to them with a jumpy smile.
"Can I help you with anything?" the wizard asked, beaming at Ron and Harry.
Hermione cut them off before they could ask a price – even though they knew they couldn't afford it. "No, but thank you we must be heading back," she smiled as he nodded.
Ron glanced at the clock with an "oh..." and they headed out. ------------------
Hermione spent most of the long summer days talking with Ginny in her room while Ron and Harry played Quiddich with everybody else. They laughed and joked and told stories – pretty much anything that came up about school, friends, news...anything. Hermione thought at first Ginny was just a young slightly annoying girl but she grew to be one of the best friends she ever had – aside from Ron and Harry.
Ginny talked a lot about how she didn't really care for any of the boys at Hogwarts – they were not all that great. Hermione expressed that she agreed, most of them were self-centered idiots walking around in the dark. Also Ginny believe part of the reason she didn't like them is because they never liked her, she thought she was never very pretty at all and went mostly unnoticed or uncared for except by some of her friends.
Hermione had stood up for her then...she had said, "Ginny if they got to know you they'd see what a wonderful person you were."
Ginny thought of Hermione as one of her only truer friends. Nobody else had spent this much time with her ever or talked as long as they had. They compared to a lot of things...getting to know each other more and more.
And more and more both felt a connection like never before when one was with the other. The end of the summer was nearing and between swimming and talking and laughing and just hanging out, they both found a true friend in the other.
'The next year at Hogwarts would be fun with Ginny around more,' thought Hermione. 'She's not like Lavender or Parvati.'

September the first approached and as they all passed through the boarder between platforms nine and ten, the excitement of a new school year was buzzing around the witches and wizards around them, loading the Hogwarts Express.
"Hey guys!" came a voice behind them.
Neville was running up to them. "Hey Neville!" they shouted back, waving. The Hogwarts Express whistle blew from the already billowing clouds of smoke and they clambered onto the bus and into a compartment.
"Bye Mrs. Weasley!" Hermione and Harry shouted out the window as the others waved and Neville was said his good-bye to his Grandma as the train picked up into motion. They were off.

A/N: Am I jumping into feelings too quick? =S I did fix the chapter up a bit and I hope it's not as terribly sucky as the other one I stupidly posted.
Again I apologize for the readers who read that and stuff. I'm kinda mad at myself but I hope this one's okay but I guess I was just hyper after the party and excited I had already gotten reviews and yeah so sorry again.
R/R please !!!
