A/N: This is my first story so I hope you all like it! I'll try to update as much as possible. I'm going to start changing POV so you can get to know each character! R+R Plz!!!!!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the HP characters but Katie and her background is mine!

She stared at me. "So you like two girls?" I nodded. Looking up I hoped that she would understand. I mean I know there are times when she loves Ron and me. " Harry I can't believe you could be so heartless. Don't lie to me now! I was wrong about you!" I open my mouth to protest by she cuts me off again. "Go away! I don't want to talk to you again Mr. Potter!" Went I don't move immediately she pulls out her wand. I get the picture and am out of there before you can say 'quidditch'

As I lay down on my bed I think Great now if I tell Ginny she'll hate me too. I wonder why Hermione doesn't believe me. Should I have kissed her? No that would have gone to fast. Maybe I can ask Ginny out and forget about Hermione! I decided the last was the best idea. I drifted off to sleep.

The sun shone into my window waking me from a peaceful dream about buttercups and dandelions. My clock said it was just after 7 and classes started in another hour. I dragged myself out of bed and put on my robes. I stumbled into the common room only to find in quiet and empty that's when I remembered. Head Boy and Head Girl share a common room. Darn it why did Hermy not believe me. I have to forget about her. I have to, I have to!

Hermione's POV-

What is his problem? I have worshipped him for 7 bloody years. Can't he at least accept that without lying to me? It makes the feeling all the more worse. Oh well I'll sit by Lavender today instead of Harry, thank God the Head Boy and Head Girl don't have a separate table in the Great Hall.

Lavender is being such a ditz. All she and Parvati want to talk about is boys. Like duh that's what I was trying to get away from! Apparently Lavender 'Loves Harry with all her heart' and wants to know if Parvati thinks she should ask him out. Ginny sits down next to me and tries to strike up a conversation. I move away till I'm sitting next to 3 fourth years. They are comparing schedules and complaining about teachers. The little girl in the middle of the group is looking nervous.

"I have Arithmancy first!" She whined. "What's Professor Vector like?" I smile at the group and lean in to give some advice.

"When you go to class," I told the girl. "Get there early and take a seat in the back, he tends to spit a lot" She smiled at me nodding and scribbled a note to herself on her palm.

" Thank You-" she paused and looked at me questioningly.

"Hermione," I said "Hermione Granger" I shook her hand. "Thank you Hermione! I'm Charlotte," she said "And these are, Nelly and Katie" Charlotte pointed to her friends and I nodded and said high.

"What's Potions like?" Asked the girl introduced as Katie. I noticed she had a very American accent. She must have transferred from a different school.

"Bad!" I answered, "The teacher, Snape, hates Gryffindors and loves reasons to take off points!" I pointed to the staff table "That's him there!" Katie shivered and I nodded knowingly.

"And what about Divination?" Katie asked,

I shrugged, "Don't know! I dropped out of the class in my fourth year because I didn't like the teacher." Katie looked confused "It was personal preference" I assured her and she grinned showing perfectly white teeth.

The three girls went back to their discussion, leaving me to prop open my book "Magical and Amazing Creatures" by Amelia Boghart just as Harry walked into the Great Hall. I looked up at him for a moment and then remembering our fight I buried my face in the book turned pink. Katie noticed.

"Hermione, Is that H-H-" she couldn't say it she was so flustered, "Is that Harry Potter?" I nodded glumly and Katie gave me a knowing smile, "Are you going out?" I nearly choked.

"WHAT?!?!?!?" I yelled. Half the Great Hall turned to stare including Harry. I felt my cheeks burn and I quickly shook my head. Katie was giggling and smirked slightly at me. Harry walked over to me and sat down in the empty seat beside me. I looked up hardly daring to believe that Harry sat next to me instead of Ron when I remembered that Ginny had been on my other side. He had sat between Ginny and me. Katie was still laughing and I shut my book with a snap. That made Harry turn towards me and this 14-year-old.

"What's up?" He said making Katie laugh even harder as I flushed pink. Harry in response to the girl leaned across me and tickled the girl's stomach. I was amazed. Harry Potter just leaned across me. I kicked myself under the table. What was wrong with me? Harry had been my best friend for 7 years and now all I could do was long for him to love me? What was I crazy? Katie went into hysterics and I was jolted back to reality.

"Stop it" she managed to gasp between shrieks of laughter. Harry noticed her accent and stopped tickling her curious.

"American?" he teased. Katie nodded.

"I transferred!" She said excitedly. "I used to go to Livingston Academy for Magic in Massachusetts but my dad was laid off and my Mom was moved by her job." Harry nodded approvingly and the girl just giggled again. It was obvious that she had a crush on famous Harry Potter. I smiled. So many girls loved Harry, he was handsome, kind, and had a great sense of humor. Harry was taunting the girl.

"Do. We. Need. To. Speak. More. Slowly. For. You. Thick. Americans. To. Understand. Us?" He spoke each word carefully making the girl swat playfully at his arm

"Noyoudon'thaveto!" She countered, her voice going a mile a minute. Harry laughed a deep gentle sound at the girl's cleverness He looked at her confused. "No you don't have to speak that slow for me" she repeated then muttered something under her breath that sounded sort of like "Bloody English!" that comment made me laugh as well. Harry smiled at her again before returning to his breakfast. Katie noticed and began to eat also. I poked Harry in the ribs ready to reprimand him.

"Harry you can't come to meals late! We need to set good examples for people!" He raised an eyebrow at me giving me a look that clearly said, 'are we talking now?' I glared in response and he shrugged before engaging in conversation with Ron. I wasn't that hungry. Putting away my book I grabbed my bag before sidling towards the entrance. I heard footsteps behind me but didn't bother turning! Probably just some first year having to go to the bathroom I thought. As I walked towards the dungeons for my first class I felt a strong arm on my shoulder. Knowing it wasn't Harry but wishing that it were I turned around to see blazing blue eyes and blond- silver hair. Draco Malfoy. I groaned and glared at him daring him to say something.

"Granger," he drawled, " You actually grew up this summer!" his eyes were masked and unreadable. I sneer graced his lips.

"What are you playing at Malfoy?" I snapped wanting to get away from his enchanting blue eyes. I stared at the floor.

He smirked at me, "I mean you're very pretty and I happen to know that you and Potter aren't working out!" He twitched his lips into a little smile. "Let's just say he's fallen hard for Weasel boy's sister." I glared at him.

"You're point is?" I snarled, trying to break away from his grasp but he was just to strong.

"Maybe you could find someone else," He sneered, "Someone better than Potter. Think about what I said Granger! The offer stands" He let me go and I rubbed my arm in disgust.

"Never Malfoy. Don't come near me again or I will slap you so hard your perfect head will end up backwards!" I growled, Malfoy just smirked and sauntered off towards the Great Hall again. I walked on thinking about his eyes, their beauty. What am I doing I like Harry NOT Malfoy. I told myself He just wants to sleep with you, that's all! Then he'll dump you like he did to Pansy and Parvati. Feeling better I walked down the dungeon steps and into the Potions classroom just as the first bell rang. 5 more minutes until class starts. So much to think about so little time! thir
