Enjoy this chapter and it may be awhile before I get the next one up because high school swimming is starting!


CHAPTER 3:

When I went down for breakfast the next day Ron came up behind me, "Hey Hermione…How did you sleep?" He leaned in to kiss me but I stopped him, "Ron, I want to take it very slow, so could we back up a little bit. I shouldn't have kissed you last night, I guess I just got caught up in the moment. I'm sorry, I don't regret it or anything, but I don't think right now in the relationship is a good time for kissing…" "Oh, al-alright…" he smiled weakly. "Thanks for understanding…" I grabbed his hand and his face lit up again. We sat by each other at the table and ate while glancing over at each other occasionally and blushing when we were caught by each other.

The way we went to King's Cross was very… interesting: we flooed there! There was a shop across the street with a fireplace and then we walked across the road and headed for Platform 9 3/4. Once we were situated on the train we said goodbye to Mrs. Weasley. Then, she said to me, "You take good care of my Ron and don't break his heart…" I nodded, shocked, because I didn't think she knew about Ron and me.

We got back on the train and sat down in our compartment. Luna walked in with Colin and they sat down next to Harry and Ginny. "So Luna, when did you cut your hair?" I asked the girl who now had a bit longer than shoulder length blonde hair. Her blue eyes sparkled, "Right after school ended! It was my first addition to my hair collection! Look at my bracelet!" she held out her arm and there was, what looked like an animal's bushy tail, hair bracelet. "Ginny! Can I have some of yours? Red coloured hair is hard to come by these days!" she grinned. "Not right now Luna, maybe when I get my hair cut---" " I can cut it for you!" Luna said taking out a pair of scissors. "No thanks, Luna.." Ginny said scooting away from her.

"Hermione, I forgot to fill you in on who's with who!" Ginny said, smiling, gossiping is her thing. She took a big breath and said, "You already know that I'm going out with Colin and Luna's going out with Harry. But, you don't know that Cho has finally gotten over Cedric and likes Harry again. But, Harry doesn't like her, so she went to Bulgaria and ran into Viktor Krum! So now they are going out, but Cho's only doing it to make Harry jealous! Which won't happen Luna chill down! Then, Lavender's going out with Justin, but their relationship is… a little rocky. Parvati is going out with Ernie and Padma is going out with Dean. But, Dean heard from Lavender, who heard from Justin, who found out from Ernie, who found out from Cho, who was being nosey as always, that Padma may have kissed Seamus… French Kissed! Padma denies it, but Seamus confesses to it… so it's all a matter of trustworthiness. I guess they might break up, but to find that out for sure I might have to ask Justin, who could ask Lavender, who could ask Parvati, who could ask her sister, Padma…"she drifted off deep in thought. I, on the other hand, was still comprehending what she was saying when she was talking as fast as humanly possible! "Or you could just ask her yourself…" I suggested. Ginny looked over at me, very offended, "Hermione! Then she would know that I wanted to know. That's a bad thing! I don't want to get the reputation of being nosey!" "But you are nosey…" I said confused, "Tell you what, let's drop it and I'll ask Padma!" "Alright…" she said scooting further away from Luna who was admiring her bracelet.


Just so I don't get in trouble, everything belongs to J.K. Rowling except the plot. Thanks for reading and please review... it boosts my self-esteem..lol
