Chapter 1: His name is Logan

Harry, Ron and Hermione stepped through the barrier onto platform 9 ¾ excited to be back and quickly joined the clamber to the train to find a compartment before they were all filled up. As they worked their way through the crowd, stopping every now and then to talk to friends, Ron noticed four very nervous looking students waiting to board the train that he had never seen before. He tapped Harry on the shoulder

"Hey Harry who do you think they are?" he said pointing over to the group of strangers.

"I dunno" he responded half glancing "Probably just some more first years" he said returning to his conversation with Seamus about the quidditch season. Ron mentally decided this was wrong because they looked around his age, maybe even older. After a few seconds one of them looked up brushing the hair away from her face, and caught him starring at her. She gave him a very warm smile, which he returned but quickly looked away as his ears turned red in embarrassment that she saw him watching her. When he worked up enough courage to take another glance he saw that her and her 3 companions had already boarded the train. Alittle disappointed, he decided this was good idea to follow he rushed Harry and Hermione away from Seamus to go find a compartment.

As they searched for a compartment that wasn't filled, they came across a closed door with a sign reading "PRIVATE- GUEST COMPARTMENT" in bold gold letters.

"I wonder who's important enough to have their own private section." Hermione thought out loud.

"I dunno" Harry responded, "Look the one next door to its empty. Lets go." he stated as they climbed into their empty compartment and slid the door shut getting comfortable for the long ride ahead. Harry and Ron ate candy while flipping through quidditch magazines and reading aloud anything they thought was worth mentioning. Hermione pulled out a fairy thick book, stretched her legs across the isle using the seat across her as a footrest, and began reading. After a few minutes of very comfortable silence except for hum of the train's engine, loud shouting and laughter could be heard coming from the compartment next to theirs with the private guests.

Hermione frowned, "My god, whoever is over there is seriously loud." She stated lifting her head from her book to make a disapproving face.

Ron looked up from his magazine," Sounds like fun to me." He commented

"Oh please, there are plenty of ways to have fun that don't include waking the dead." She said this last part turning her head and glaring at the thin wall that separated the two compartments.

Ron going back to his magazine only pretended to be reading while as he wondered if the girl from the platform was the one next door having all the fun.

After 10 min of listening to their neighbors, Hermione threw her book down scowling and said

"Honestly! This is ridiculous! I cant concentrate a single bit on my book with these hooligans next door raising hell!" and with that she got up, Harry and Ron ignoring her little fit, and went to tell them off. Just was she was about to knock on their compartment door, it slid open revealing a very Handsome boy in fitted jeans made to look worn in (but were probably bought that way) and a black studded belt, and a very tight black t-shirt revealing his very muscular build and tan arms. His dark brown hair was styled to look as though he just got out of bed, and he stood at about 6'2''. As he looked down at Hermione who stood only inches from his chest, he smirked making her knees go weak and forget that she wanted to yell at him.

"Hey" his smirk growing "what's up?" She examined his gorgeous face, wondering if he said this as a question or comment, before deciding how to respond.

"I was just um...I was just..." she started having no idea where she was going with this ramble

"I was just looking for someone." She Finished. After looking into his dark blue eyes she simply couldn't yell at him about the noise, after all he was just having fun.

"Oh" he said a warm smile breaking out on his face "Well I don't think you know anyone in here yet..." she noted his cute accent and decided she loved his voice. "My names Logan" he waited for a response but when getting none he chuckled and simply continued "yours is...?" He asked dragging out the last word waiting for an answer.

"Oh" she said snapping back to reality, "I'm ugh Hermione Granger" He excepted this answer and kindly said "Well its nice to meet you Hermione, I was about to go look for some food, could you show me where to go?" He asked. Hermione felt an uneasy feeling growing in her, nerves she thought, and nodded quickly almost to eagerly.

"Chill" he responded and started to walk forward to leave to compartment forcing Hermione to take a few steps back into the hallway. She quickly allowed herself to sneak a smell of him and she wasn't surprised when he smelled really good, his cologne was light and mixed with his own natural scent.

What is going on with me? She thought to herself Pull yourself together! Your hermione granger not some ditsy school girl...

"Right, It's this way" she said as she pointed and started to lead him away to find food. Just then another voice came from the compartment he had just stepped out of, but this one a girl.

"Hey Logan buy me something to munch on k?" she asked. She had a very cute voice, hermione noted jealously.

He smiled and said back over his shoulder, "Why? Got the munchies?" a smirk growing on his face.

"Wow that's really funny" she said sarcastically, "Just buy me something." She stated then after pausing added "Pleeease??" cutely.

"Alright babe, but you owe me now" He said casually starting to walk off forcing Hermione to take the lead again. She felt a twinge when she noted that he had called this girl Babe. They must be going out she thought gloomily. Not that if she thought he was single she would make a move or anything, but she still didn't like guys she had a crush on going out with anyone else.

On their way back from buying food, Hermione worked up enough courage to ask about the girl.

"SO..." she started, "how long have you and your girlfriend been dating?" Proud of how casual she made the question sound without letting a single bit of jealously into it.

"What?" he asked looking confused. "Who are you talking about?"

"That girl in the compartment" she said pointing to the PBJ he had picked up for her.

"Ellena?" he responded sounding amused "nah were just really good friends and that's it, we flirt a lot but it doesn't mean anything.

"OH" she sighed accidentally leading on to how relieved she was. Silently she thought that makes sense I guess but I'm really good friends with Harry and Ron and I don't go around calling them Babe.

As the approached their compartments Logan said his goodbye "Well thanks it was good to meet you Hermione" he smiled

"You too" she responded, "I'll see you around then" once again proud of her casual tone.

"Definitely" he said, then putting his hand on the small of her back he guided her the rest of the length to her compartment door, unaware that his touch was making her heart beat exceptionally faster. She held her breath until she was back in her compartment with the door closed. She let out her breath as she slid into the seat looking exhausted from the amount of effort it took her to seem casual.

"What's with you?" Harry inquired noticing her off behavior.

"American Boys" she said lightly unable to hold in her smile any longer.

"There's an American here??? Why??" Ron asked surprised and rather put off, he didn't like Hermione flirting especially with Americans.

"Actually so far there are two Americans but one of them is a girl, and I don't know why but I definitely don't mind either." She answered, giddy with herself.

"Well I don't like it" Harry started "All Americans are so superficial. They only care about partying and being the best at everything, thinking they are better then everyone else. They bother me..." He grumbled

"I dunno" Ron started "Doesn't sound half bad to me"

"Lets just wait for the feast. Dumbledore is sure to make some announcement about them, especially if he gave them a private compartment. He'll tell us who they are and why their here." She lectured the boys.

"Just do us a favor Hermione and stay away from this American git until we know more about him and why he's here." Harry pleaded unhappy with the way this was heading and looking rather angry.

"Logan" she corrected him accidentally but then decided to continue, "His Name is Logan"

A/N: ok i know it doesnt really tell you much but just R&R and trust me it will definietly get better in later chapters and will be worth the R rating. just keep in mind this is my 1st fic sooo be nice. ohh and just so you know the girls name is pronounced Elle-na NOT Ellen-a. Keep that in mind.
