****** Remember that Harry is talking to Sirius outside.
Harry was now full of mixed thoughts. His parents were members of the Order of the Phoenix, they were leaders. Arabella Figg was actually Mrs. Figg the next door neighbor. He was supposed to take over the Order after his schooling. And he found all this in barely 10 minutes. For a 16 year old orphan, he took it pretty well.
'I hope they don't bother me until I finish school. And not be around when I'm with Hermione!' he said.
Sirius laughed. 'So that's settled then. You'll be behaving normally again and carry on with your things?' he asked.
'Yeah. There's not much I can do.'
'Good man, Harry. I've got to run. People are still searching for me. And in case you're wondering, the Order's believed me and is now taking orders from Dumbledore.' he said as he looked to see if anyone was watching. 'Take care of yourself and others, Harry. Send me post if anything's new or bothering you. Goodbye' he said as he began transforming into his Animagus.
Snuffles went to the bushes and disappeared.
Harry went back inside the Burrow. He was greeted by Ron and Hermione.
'How was it? What did he say?' asked Hermione.
'Well, let me explain.'Harry began and told what Sirius had told him to her and Ron.
When he finished, the two were filled with questions much like his.
'Guys, all I can say is, I'm as clueless as you are.' said Harry.
Today was an exceptionally great day for outdoor activities. The birds were chirping, the breeze was excellent and the sun was shining with not so hot rays.
Unfortunately, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Lavender were off to Diagon Alley to buy their books so they couldn't enjoy this perfect day.
'Mum, can we go to Muggle London after this?' asked a sulky Ron, but not that sulky as his new girlfriend was present.
'No, Ron, you all need to prepare your things because in two days, you're going to Hogwarts, dear.' said Mrs. Weasley.
Harry and Hermione were walking together as Ron and Lavender were. Ginny was all alone.
She sometimes glanced at Hermione with jealousy but quickly took it away before people started seeing. Hermione noticed this but pretended to not.
'Ah, there we are. Flourish and Blotts. Better hurry, kids, we might not get anything if we're late.' said Mrs. Weasley.
They went inside and got new books. Since Mr. Weasley got a raise, Ron and Ginny didn't need second-hand books or school things, they got the books that average kids do.
When they got their books and school supplies, Mrs. Weasley asked if they still wanted to stay around Diagon Alley.
'Yes, please, mum.' said Ron.
'Well alright then. I'll take Ginny and you all just get back by Floo Powder. I'll see you at the Burrow.' she said before diapparating with their things. They made it lighter so that Mrs. Weasley can carry it home.
'Ron, you don't think your mom minds she has to carry 4 sets of books?' asked Harry.
'Nah. You know how helpy helpy she gets when there're guests.'
'Okay. That's good to hear, Ron. Now if you'll both excuse us, I'd like to get Harry alone for a while.' said Hermione in her would-be bossy tone. Harry didn't mind this because deep down, he knew she was as gentle as a kitten.
'Good. I'm goin' with this lovely lady here,' he said, staring at Lavender. She giggled and they went their separate ways.
'Meet you both in two hours! Right here!' called Harry.
'Okay!' yelled Ron through the crowd.
Harry looked at Hermione, who had her arm around his. 'So, alone at last.' he said to her in a near whisper.
She giggled. 'Actually, Harry dear, we're not alone. We're in Diagon Alley!' she said in a normal tone.
'Hmmm, good point. Wanna go to Muggle London?' he asked. 'We could go to a really good place for muggle food.'
'Um...what about that thing Sirius said? About not leaving the Weasley's sight?' asked Hermione.
'Herm, it's only going to be half an hour. C'mon.' he persuaded.
'Sorry, Harry but I'm more worried at what'll happen. Let's just stay here and eat. There are plenty of eating places here.' she said looking around at all the stores for school, not one of them being a food store. 'Well, okay, maybe not plenty but there's always the Leaky Cauldron.' she said, blushing.
'Alright, you win...again.' he said, smiling. 'Now, off to the Leaky Cauldron.'
Harry and Hermione met with Ron and Lavender and went back to the Burrow.
At the Burrow, Mrs. Weasley baked them some brownies and some cookies.
After they ate it, they went straight to sleep. Harry didn't get another dream. He hasn't had one for a while now.
Next day he woke up to a frantic Hermione.
'What's wrong, Herm?' he asked, still drowsy.
'Harry, Chris is downstairs. He actually came back!' she exclaimed.
'Why? Sirius already told me what the Order was about!'
'Well he's here to tell you exactly that.'
Harry went down after he fixed himself a bit.
'Chris! What are you doing here?' he asked.
'Just did what you said. Now, can we take a walk?' he asked casually.
'There's no need of that. Sirius came by and told me everything I needed to know. Thank you for coming. Goodbye.' he said all at once. Clearly, he didn't want Hermione to see anymore of this tall, dark and handsome.
'Okay, okay. No need to get violent.' said Chris in his would-be peace voice. Harry ignored the sarcasm and went up.
He heard something as he did.
'Sorry, Chris. He really is a nice person. He just woke up on the wrong side of the bed.' said Hermione.
Harry stopped to listen.
'Never mind that, gorgeous. I don't mind. It's a shame you put up with that. Toodles!' said Chris.
Harry was boiling mad about now. He went down only to find Hermione there. He swore she was blushing before he got there.
'Hey Harry. Chris just apparated. Are you fully awake yet?' she asked, trying to get her cheeks to return back to normal.
'Yeah, fine. Just dandy.' he said sarcastically.
'And Harry, why were you so rude to Chris? He was only trying to help the Order.'
'Well, Hermione, I don't like it when guys like him flirt with my girlfriend! Especially, in front of me.' he said angrily.
'Flirted?!'
'Yeah, that's right. You don't think I saw he made himself extra irresistible when we first met him?' he asked.
'But that's just how the guy is. You really can't blame him.'
'It would help if you didn't flirt back though.' he said. Lucky they were the only people in the house as the Weasleys had decided to de-gnome the garden and front yard.
'Are you accusing me of flirting with Chris?!'
'I could hear you all the from on top of the stairs!'
'Harry, didn't anyone ever tell you it's not nice going around and accusing people something they didn't do?'
'Is it my fault I saw you blushing before I came here?'
'Alright! Fine! You wanna know why I was blushing? I saw a very good looking guy. It's not like I'm going to go for him. I WAS very happy with my relationship with you until you started being jealous! Don't you trust me? I mean, you don't have to go all jealous just because I found a guy cute! I bet you find other girls attractive all the time!' she bellowed, but not too loud because the Weasleys might hear.
'Can I say something?' he yelled.
'What?'
'I'm sorry I got jealous that easily. I guess I was insecure. And I don't find any other girls attractive anymore. They're really nothing compared to you. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go upstairs and shut up for the remainder of my life.' he said, remorsefully.
He turned and headed to the stairs but was stopped by Hermione's hand.
He turned around and found a smiling Hermione.
It wasn't long before that smiling Hermione's lips found a clueless Harry's.
This was about their first real compassionate kiss. The first real long one. It wasn't demanding or anything, just a perfect affectionate, loving kiss.
When their lips pulled apart, Hermione spoke, a small indescribable smile on her face.
'Do you really not find girls attractive anymore?'
Harry smiled. 'Of course not. I've got one to last me a lifetime. Besides, I'm in love with this one right here.'
Harry felt slightly guilty he ever thought Hermione liked Chris more than him. But he was thankful he told Hermione how he felt.
Harry was surprised at how he handled the whole Hermione thinking Chris was cute. He was glad it was the 1st of September today. He missed going to school...well, a bit anyway.
Then the day they were to go back to Hogwarts arrived.
"Harry, have you got everything set, dear?' asked Mrs Weasley, making sure they got everything they needed.
'Yes, Mrs. Weasley. I have.' he said politely.
They went by the Weasley car. Mr. Weasley drove them to King's Cross Station and had to go for a meeting so he just saw them to the barrier.
'Alright, Ron. You and Lavender go first.' said Mrs. Weasley.
Ron and Lavender, along with their trolleys, went through the barrier.
'Okay, now. Harry, Hermione, you next.' she said, gesturing the two.
After they went, Mrs. Weasley and Ginny went together.
They were overwhelmed by the scarlet colored steam engine. It was rather beautiful, Hogwarts Express. It was something Harry missed. He had flashbacks of his first year...when he saw this for the very first time and when Ron and him first met...then his second year...he didn't use it. He went by the Weasley's other car to Hogwarts due to Dobby. Then his third year...his first meeting of Lupin and his first encounter with the Dementors...his fourth year when Hermione kissed him on the cheeks...his fifth year where he kissed Hermione...now, his 6th year. Time does fly when you have fun...or least expect it.
