A/N- Ok, so suddenly inspiration struck, I know I only update Sundays blahblablah… but ok sorry all y'all, but I've had reviews that say his eyes are green, blue, gray, silver… the list just keeps going. But in the movies (I know I should be going by the books… I am for the most part) his eyes are GREEN. And there's a reason that you'll see later that they are.

Enter Wizards, Stage Left

"Harry! Ron!" Hermione shouted, running down the platform to meet her friends.

"Hey Hermione!" said Ron, looking very happy to see her indeed.

"Hullo Hermione." Harry intoned, looking at the floor.

"How was your summer?" Ron asked, looking as though he really cared to hear her answer.

Hermione looked concernedly at Harry before replying.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm Head Girl! I got the letter at the end of August."

She looked at Ron expectantly, as if waiting for him to tell her that he was Head Boy.

"That's fantastic, way to go 'Mione! So, who's Head Boy?" Ron asked.

"Wait. You mean, you aren't Head Boy?" Asked Hermione, shocked.

"No." said Ron, frowning, "I got my letter mid-August too. I'm captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. But it didn't say anything about me being Head Boy. Seems like they were running late on the post this year, huh?" He said, obviously trying to make Hermione laugh. "But how was your summer?"

Hermione sighed "Oh, it was alright, I guess. I started getting worried when-" She was cut off by Ginny, who ran over and said "Guys we'd better get on the train or they'll leave without us!" She hurried over to the train door and opened it for the others. "Hurry! You have about three seconds to get on this train or it's going to leave without you (or you're gonna be stranded here 'till Chirstmas)."

Hermione and Ron ran over and were about to get on when Ron turned around and shouted "Harry, let's GO!"

Harry gave a jolt, as if he had just come out of a trance. He ran over to the train and jumped onboard just as it started to move.

"We should find a compartment." Ron reminded them. He walked down the hall towards the last compartment on the train.

As they passed the other compartments, they waved at people they knew. Neville Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, Luna Lovegood and several others came out into the hall to say hello.

They dragged their trunks over and opened the door of the last compartment on the train. Luckily, the compartment was empty.

They sat down, Ron and Harry sitting across from Hermione.

"I started getting worried when you didn't reply to my letters. A few weeks ago I was actually thinking of sending Dumbledore a letter to see where you were." Hermione said. Her concern towards Harry's behavior was now obvious in her voice. "What happened?"

"Well…" Ron started, clearly searching for the right words, "you see-"

He was interrupted by Draco Malfoy, who crashed the door open.

"Granger, have you forgotten your duties already?" he smirked.

"What in bloody hell are you blabbering about ferret boy?" questioned Ron irritably.

"Language, Weasel. You are talking to Hogwarts' new Head Boy, after all."

Ron just stared at him, his mouth hanging open in shock.

"As I was saying," He drew out, shooting a glance at Ron "almost 20 minutes ago I arrived in the Head carriage, as I was supposed to. Then a fifth year knocked on the cabin door to check that the Head Girl and Boy were in the right place, as he was supposed to. Then he gave me a letter, as I assume he was supposed to. I asked him who the Head Girl was. When he told me that it was you, Granger, I must admit I was startled (especially that you hadn't yet arrived where you were supposed to.). But of course, being the thoughtful man I am proceeded to come find you. I must say though, terrible cabin choice, I had to go looking through every other cabin in the entire bloody train."

Hermione was shocked but she concealed it quickly. "And may I ask why exactly you did that? Seeing as …oh, how should I put this? You probably weren't supposed to." she asked innocently, her voice dripping in sarcasm.

"Well, if I remember correctly, both of the Head's are supposed to be in the carriage at all times on the journey, and since you are Head Girl, I thought it would only be proper if we arrived together. As to not embarrass you." Malfoy replied, flushing slightly.

Ron and Harry were now both staring at him, their mouths hanging open in shock. These were the first signs of life Harry had shown the whole journey so far and Hermione was pleased that he seemed awake now.

"Well in that case…" she said as if that closed the discussion, "I guess I'll see you two at the feast." She picked up her trunk and followed Draco out the door.

I'm sorry she mouthed to the two boys. She just hoped they got the message and the feelings behind them.
