Harry and Ron stood in the Weasley Kitchen with their mouths almost gapping at the site before them. Standing near the Fie place talking to Mrs. Weasley was their best friend Hermione Granger. As Harry stood their looking Harry felt a stirring in his stomach. This was not the Hermione whom had barged into his train compartment looking for Nevilles pet toad Trevor that First year at Hogwartz. This was not even the same girl who had said good bye to him at Kings Crosse earlier that summer. Standing there was a vision that Harry could not take his eyes from. Hermione's normally Bushy Hair was now straight. The only other time Harry had seen Hermione's Hair like this was at the Yule Ball when she had applied a large about of Sleakeasy potion to it. Standing there was a statuesque young woman who had matured into a very striking woman.

Just as Harry was about to try and stammer a greeting a loud shrill was heard coming from Ginny."OH MY GOD! HERMIONE YOU LOOK GREAT!" Ginny shrieked as she ran and nearly tackled Hermione . With that Harry was brought crashing back to reality.. Hermione responding to Ginny Said" Well my Mum and Dad took me to Italy and While I was there I got some new clothes and found a Potion that lets you straighten your hair permanently. It is so much easier to manage like this than the lions main I normally Have do you like it?" She asked. "It looks incredible what do you guys think?" Ginny asked the still recovering boys. Making a noise that one could only describe as a grunt of approval. Hermione ran over to boys wrapping Both of them into a giant hug. At that moment a dull glow came from Harry's eyes which went unnoticed by the others. Hermione pulled back from the Hug still touching Harry's arm.

"Harry are you feeling alright . You feel warm do you have a fever" Hermione said.

"I'm fine I don't feel sick" Harry said shrugging his shoulders. As the trio caught up on what had happened that summer they all decided to go out into the garden and enjoy some of the good weather they were having, and eat the sandwich's that Mrs.Weasley. As the three caught up it made Harry feel like old times. Harry hadn't felt this good since before Sirius's Death.

"Ron...I need your help come in here" yelled Mrs. Weasley from inside the house. "I think that since Percy has left she has finally gone Mental that one"Ron mumbled hoping that he would not be heard by his mums kean hearing. " I heard that Ronald Weasley. Now get in here" Mrs. Weasley roared in her usual way. Which Brought a chuckle from Harry and Hermione.

As the sun was setting into the horizon Harry looked over at Hermione finding himself lost as he looked at her. Her back was sitting towards the sun which at the angle Harry was looking at made Hermione almost look as if she was glowing. Harry sat there transfixed unable or unwilling to move his gaze from her. Then when he felt at such joy he instantly remember how close he had come to losing her in the Ministry of Magic, and the hopeful look that had been on his face only a moment earlier was suddenly gone.

"Are you alright Harry" Hermione asked

"Yeah, I'm fine thanks" Harry responded. "You know its not your fault what happened to Sirius No one blames you" Hermione said with great concern in her voice. With those words Harry realized that it wasn't the death of his Godfather that pained him the most. It was the fact that he had almost lost his best friend. Someone who until that night he had never even contemplated life without.. The truth be told Harry did feel responsible for Sirius's death, but in the same moment he also understood that what Dumbledore had said before the end of term was also true. It was Voldemort who was the one to blame for that death. For some reason no matter how many people told Harry the same thing. All it took was for Hermione to look at him and tell him to make this sink in.

"Hermione I was so afraid that you..."Harry began to say but he found himself looking into Hermione's eyes. Suddenly Harry found himself a lost for words for the second time that day. Before Harry was able to complete his sentence he felt something hit him from behind. Startled Harry looked up and saw Ginny and Ron standing and laughing right behind the them. "Hey Mate you better be careful I could have been You-Know-Who" Ron said oblivious to the exchange of looks that he had just interrupted. "Mums got dinner ready" Ginny said Cheerfully. As Harry stood up he grazed Hermione's hand. In that instant Harry once again felt the Fiery sensation from earlier. As if a spark had hit them both jumped back and looked around. What is happening to me Harry thought to himself. What was he doing? As the group sat down to the table he was once again lost in the laughter of the house which he loved to be in.
