Chapter 2:

Today was September 1st. and Harry, Ron, and Hermione were already in there compartments talking about the up comeing school year when they heard the familiar sound of Draco Malfoy and his usual crowd of Crabb and Goyle come walking up toward there compartment door.

"What a shame, Potter. Your back for another year. And of course you have your usual groupies of the mudblood and Weasley." Malfoy said as soon as he opened the door.

"Shut up Malfoy." Hermione said giving him a death glare and then rolling her eyes as she turned her head back to her book.

"And what if I dont? Is the mudblood bookworm going to do something about? I'm so scared." He started to mockingly shake around like he was terrified.

"If she doesn't I will, so you had better shut ugly mouth!" Harry yelled as he grabbed out his wand.

"Harry, dont do anything rash, he's not worth getting in trouble over." Hermione looked at him siliently pleading with him cot to do anything that might get him into trouble.

"Just get out Malfoy." He said sitting back down. After a few moments Malfoy smirked his trademark smirk and turned to leave.

All of a sudden the door opened again and in walked Luna Lovegood. As soon as her eyes caught sight of Ron she smiled widely and took a seat across from him.

"Hello Ron. Hows your summer been? She asked excitedly. Looking at him as though he was the most fantastic person she had ever seen.

"It's been alright I guess." He replied not even looking up from the magazine he had been reading.

Harry set quietly in his seet stairing out the window a the passing senerey. Being back in the wizarding world brought back unwanted memories of Sirius and of that fateful day when he lost him. He had spent the entire summer trying to cope with it, trying to understand why everyone one that he ever loved had tobe taken from him. But he soon ound out that a summer wasn't even close to enough time. If the feelings of loneliness and hurt would ever go away, it was going to take a very long time.

He glanced back over at everyone one eles in the compartment and saw Hermione burried in a book, as usual. He got this weird feeling in the pit of his stomach as he watched her, scanning over the contents of he large book which lay in her lap. It felt like a hundred butterflys were swarming around inside of him at top speed. He didn't reconize this feeling, he had never felt this when he looked at anybody. Sure, there was that thing he used to feel when he would dee Cho, but this seemed different somehow. It seemed as though this had hit him all at once, but he know that it didnt. He had caught himself watching her alot since he first saw her this year at the Weasleys. And thinking about her a whole lot more. He mentally slapped himself everytime he thought about it. Hermiones just your friend, your Friend, and thats all there could ever be between the two of us. Why was he even thinking about her that way? She would probably be disgusted. But before he could continue to think on it, he was brought out of his thoughts by the very person who plagued them.

"Harry, Are you alright? You seem kinda far off." Hermione had the same look on his face that he had seen many times before when she loked at him, worry.

"Yeah, Im fine. I was just thinking about stuff." Harry smiled reassuringly at her but could tell that she didnt buy it. She had always been able to see straight through him, and this time was no different.

" Are you sure? If theres anything you wanna talk about, I'm here for you. You know that right?"

"Of course, You've always been so great. I dont know what I would do with out you." Hermione smiled at him, and he smiled back. "I mean with out you, Ron and I would have failed all of our classes years ago." Harry teased and she playfully punched him on the arm.

"Yeah well don't expect me to go over all of your work again this year." Hary smiled at her, knowing that she would anyways.

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

The Great Hall was bustering with noise as the sorting hat began to sing it song. Nevious looking first years stood in front of it shuffiling from one leg to another. It was hard for Harry to believe that he had once been standing there going through the same slow process of being sorted into your appropriate house.

"I wonder who's going to get head boy and girl this year?" I heard that they were going to announce it tonight." Said Ron as he waited impatiantly for the sorting to be over so that they could eat.

"I don't know, but it's been killing me ever since we arrived." Hermione said pleasently watching the first years as usual.

Finnally everyone was seated and the large plates began to fill with food. Harry talked animatedly to Ron, Hermione, and Seamus until Dumbledore sood up to make his announcements as he did every year at this time.

"May I please have your attention for a moment please. I would like to make an announcement about or head boy and head girl of the year". Every eye was on Dumbledore and not a sound was made as they all listened excitedly about ould get it."Our new head girl for the year is... Hermione Granger." Everyone clapped and congradulated her as she smiled and thanked them all, everyone except the Slytherine's. "And the new head boy is, Harry Potter." Once again everyone clapped but most of the sound was drowned out by the sounds of Hermione as she screamed and gave him a hug.

"I just knew you would get it, Congratulations! Oh this is so exciting, we get to be head boy and girl together!"

"Yeah, I'm glad. Congratulations to you too." Harry beamed at her, missing the feel of her arms being wrapped around him in a tight hug.
