Beautiful
It was after eight when Ron and I headed for the great hall. Harry and the others had to be awake by now, I knew Luna was awake we saw her wandering around a few minutes ago. More people were up and about now, looking for their friends in the corridors, going to get breakfast in the great hall.
I thought about what had just happened. It seemed like something out of a book, or a movie, Ron and I watching the sunset. Did that mean anything? Well, okay, not exactly what I meant. I'm not saying that I didn't feel a thing. But, should I take it seriously? Did he take me up there just to watch the sunset? That's not what I mean, I mean I wonder if he was trying to get some sort of message across to me?
We turned around a corner and started to walk down a staircase. I put my hands in my robe pockets, it was chilly this morning. Ron had held my hand, I don't know why I was making such a deal about this but I was. Viktor had held my hand all the time, but I'm talking about Ron. Ron was my best friend, is my best friend I should say. Maybe this is why this is different, maybe I'm just not used to this yet.
"Where have you two been?" Harry asked as I sat beside him, Ron opposite.
"Fancied a walk, mate. Pass the marmalade." Ron had only been there two minutes and he had already filled a plate with food.
Harry passed him the marmalade. "Fancied a walk?" He asked skeptically, as if it was an excuse or lie he had heard before.
I poured myself a cup of coffee and grabbed a plate. "Have you seen Ginny?" Harry asked, I shook my head and grabbed two pieces of grapefruit and a bagel. "Why?" I asked.
"Well, I saw her this morning for a few minutes, saying she had to meet Luna she left the common room. Luna's sitting over there. I just figured Ginny would come to the great hall for breakfast."
I spread some cream cheese on my bagel, Ginny must be meeting Draco. I wondered how they kept a relationship like theirs a secret in a school like this.
"Yeah, have any of you noticed how secretive she's being lately?" Ron asked, spreading marmalade on another piece of toast.
I tried my best to ignore the conversation, I knew what was going on with Ginny and they knew it. I wondered if this conversation was planned, hoping for me to tell them everything. Secretive. I was being just as secretive as Ginny was. Not only was I keeping their relationship from being exposed, I was hiding the real reason for my makeover.

Potions was our first class. It was the same as any other class, except for the first twenty minutes when Professor Snape wrote a short review on the blackboard on the potions we did last year. I promised to lend Harry and Ron my notes, seeing as Snape charmed the blackboard to erase the notes and list of potion ingredients after twenty minutes. It was for a minor healing potion, used on cuts and small gashes.
I was the first one done my potion, I filled a small flask and walked over to Snape's desk with it. Snape picked it up and examined it through the clear glass. "Up to your usual standards." He said simply, with a little surprise, and put it back down. I saw out of the corner of my eye that Pansy and Draco were watching.
"What do you mean, Professor?"
"It seems that you spent the majority of the summer vacation focusing on your hair rather than your education. Styling instead of studying." He looked at the little flask. "I guess not."
"None of that effects my schoolwork." I said, before Snape could reply a loud fizzing noise erupted behind me. "Honestly Longbottom, it's the first day."
I tried to brush off what he just told me, but none of my teachers looked at me the same way as they did before. I say a little bit of loss in each one of them.

Again, it's shorter than I would have liked. I would have rather have had McGonagall talk to her but I thought she wouldn't say something like that. Snape's a little more forward, and meaner than McGonagall.
Next chapter should be up in the next few days.
