Harry for Head Boy "What is it?" Ron asked curiously.

"It's just that when Cho and I dated she didn't like it when I hung out with Hermione, and when we got on the train she suggested we sit with you and Hermione," explained Harry, "And also I never thought that Cho liked me, but at the station she asked to sit with me. I don't get it. It's like she's not really Cho."

"Well, I can explain the first bit," Ron said, "Hermione and I are dating now, so I guess she feels that Hermione isn't competition anymore. And about the second bit, she probably just realizes that she has feelings for you. Don't worry, Harry. There's nothing weird going on with Cho."

"You and Hermione are WHAT?" Harry asked just a bit freaked out.

"We would've told you, but we were sure how long it was going to last. We had a big fight after our second date and I thought it was over, but then we made up and got back together. But by then it would've been too late to mail you because it wouldn't have reached you before school started," Ron explained.

"That's okay, I'm just a bit jeal- I mean surprised," said Harry. Why was I about to say jealous? Why would I be jealous of Ron dating Hermione? Hermione is just a friend, he told himself.

Harry looked around for the first and realized that he was in the Great Hall and Dumbledore was standing as if he were about to start his welcome speech. Harry realized that everyone was staring at him and Ron, and had heard their conversation. His cheeks flushed a deep red and he managed to put on a weak smile.

Dumbledore was also looking at Harry and Ron and had an amused look on his face. Then he said, "Now that Ron and Harry have finished their very enlightening conversation, I'll begin my speech. I welcome all of the new students this year and wish you the best of luck in your school years. I also welcome back all returning students and teachers. I would like to remind everyone that the forest is out of bounds to any students and that no students are allowed out of bed after 10:00, with the exception of the prefects who will be supervising the halls until midnight. House points will be docked if any student disobeys these rules. If you sneak out of bed after midnight then your punishment will be determined by Mr. Filch who will, most definitely, catch you. I would also like to apologize that the notices of prefect positions were not mailed out in time for them to reach you before you left. Therefore I will announce the prefects for this year now: Cho Chang, Draco Malfoy, Lavender Brown, and Neville Longbottom. The head boy and girl are Hermione Granger and Harry Potter. The prefects will not share the regular dormitories as their late night supervision may disturb other students. The head boy and girl will receive their own rooms and there will be separate dormitories for the other prefects. This will be a new tradition at Hogwarts from now on. We will also have two balls this year for students fourth year and up, as many students commented that the Yule Ball three years ago was a most enjoyable experience. Hogsmede outings will also take place every Saturday and every student from third year up is allowed to go, as there is no permission slip necessary. So congratulations prefects and I wish everyone a good year."

After the feast was over Harry and Hermione said goodbye to Ron and headed up to their new rooms. When Harry saw his room he just about fainted. It was huge and had a double sized bed with gold silk sheets and pillows. The curtains were also gold silk and were in front of a large window that looked out over the Quidditch pitch. After standing there gawking at the luxurious room he heard Hermione's voice coming from behind a door that he figured led to a bathroom.

"It seems we have to share a bathroom," said Hermione.

Harry opened the door and walked into the bathroom. It was just as spacious and luxurious as the bedroom with a full sized bathtub and shower. There were gold- coloured towels that were so soft and fluffy that Harry thought he would prefer to use them as blankets at the Dursleys' then the bed sheets his aunt and uncle had provided him with.

Harry only stopped gawking when Hermione said, "We'll have to have some sort of schedule, because we can't be running in on each other when we're using the bathroom."

I'd love to run in on you when you were in the bathroom Harry thought. Wait, I don't like Hermione that way, why would I want to do something like that?

"Uh... yah," Harry said finally.

"So I was thinking that since I get up before you, I'll use the bathroom first in the morning, and then it'll be free by the time you get up. And in the evening I'll use the bathroom last because I stay up later doing my homework. How does that suit you?" Hermione looked right into Harry's eyes and suddenly Harry felt embarrassed and at a loss for words, but he didn't know why.

"Ummm, yah, sure, whatev -v -ver's good for you," Harry managed to stammer out.

"It's good that we've got that sorted out," Hermione said, "I'm going to skim through my textbooks and then go to bed. Goodnight Harry."

I wish I could go to bed with her thought Harry. Oh god! I'm doing it again! I like Cho, not Hermione! Yeesh!

"Goodnight Hermione," said Harry finally. He turned around and went back into his room and got into bed. As he was just about to fall asleep, he remembered how beautiful Hermione looked on the train and the image of her face appeared in his head. She's so hot, thought Harry. And that was the last thing he thought before he fell asleep.
