"Harry, you're back.",Hermione exclaimed. "Yeah,uh Hermione I've got something to tell you."
"Alright." They walked back to where Harry and Ron were just standing."Hermione I...I...I'm dating Luna."
"What...Who...When did this happen?",she asked. "On...On the train.",Harry stammered. Ron was right she wasn't
taking this well at all. "How did it happen?",she asked. "I don't know it just did.",he said really not liking this.
"Harry, I was going to tell you this when we graduated,but I love you.",she told him looking at her feet. "What?" Now it was Harry's turn to be mad.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?",he asked. "I was afraid. You were going through so much with Sirius and
Cho that I didn't want to cause you anymore stress.",she said rather timidly. "Hermione I'm.....I'm sorry,but I...I love Luna."
"How can you love her you've only known her for two years,but you've known me since 1st year." "Hermione I just do,okay. I
can't explain it,but I can feel it.",he said. "Look I still think your one of my best friends and I think we should remain friends,okay?"
He paused for a minute looking at her waitng for an answer."I guess we could still be friends",she said after a while "but it's going to take time for me to get used to the idea of you and Luna dating."
"Alright I can wait for you to get used to it,but we're still friends?" "Yes.",she said while really in her heart it was tearing her up inside."
"Good.",said Harry and they walked back over to Luna and Ron. "Hey, Harry.",Luna said. "So Hermione did Harry tell you?"
"Yeah he did.",Hermione said sounding a little bitter towards Luna. Realizing her tone Hermione changed it and added,"I'm really happy for you."
"Thanks.",Luna said. She appreciated her being so friendly about it. "Well if that's all settled then let's head up to the castle I'm starving.",Ron said.
"Okay.",Harry added. They walked to where the carraiges were and all four got in and got seated. Then the carraige took off towards the castle.
When they all got up to the castle they got out and walked through the big, oak doors. The Great Hall was as beautiful as ever,and at the site of food Ron went
straight to the Gryffindor table and sat down and started filling his plate.Then Luna and Harry said their goodbyes and promised to meet each other on the second floor
corridor after dinner. Then Harry and Hermione sat down on either side of Ron. There was so much food that Harry didn't know where to begin. He ate a little bit of everything which
included chicken,mashed potatoes,vegetables and every tart and pudding under the sun. After dinner Dumbledore gave his speech."Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts. I'm glad to see all of your shining
faces here again. I now want to say that if you all would be very careful we added a new trick step on the third floor staircase." At this Neville gave a groan. He always forgot to jump those trick stairs and
now another one was going to make it even harder. " And with all that said you may all turn in for the night.",Dumbledore concluded. With this everyone in the Great Hall rose. "First years please follow me.",Ron said.
Harry saw Luna go out of the door and quickly followed. He walked hurridly to the second floor. He turned the corner to where they were supposed to meet,and there she was. "Harry.",Luna said as she turned around.
"Hey.",he said. "Did you hear about that new trick step?",she asked. "Yeah.",he said. "Poor Neville will have a hard time of it." "Yeah.",she agreed. "Well I guess we better both go to bed before we get in trouble."
"Yes, I guess we should I'll see you in the morning then?",he asked. "Sure.",she replied. "Well good night." and with that she gave him a kiss on the cheek and went to the Ravenclaw dormitory. Then Harry went to his own dormitory
and got into bed. He then fell asleep with a very content grin on his face.
