CH. 4

On the morning of November 30th, Harry went to the Dursley's living room. Uncle Vernon was sitting on the couch reading the daily newspaper.

"Ahem," went Harry.

"What do you want boy?" growled Uncle Vernon

"Well, just letting you know that I'm leaving for school now,"

Uncle Vernon waved a hand absent-mindedly. "Just go."

Harry went back upstairs and packed his trunk. He grabbed Hedwig's cage and his truck then dragged it down the stairs. He opened to front door. Aunt Petunia, who was just coming home, didn't even glance at him. Once on the sidewalk, Harry stuck out his wand hand.

BOOM!

"The Knight Bus is here at your service," Harry looked up.

" 'Ey Harry!" Stan Shunpike, conductor of the Knight Bus, grinned down at him. "Come on up!" Stan took the trunk from him and dragged it up the steps. Harry followed him inside. He was the only other person there.

"Where to eh, Harry?"

"Diagon Alley please."

"Lesse…that'll be 20 Sickles…" Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out the money and gave it to Stan.

"Off we go!"

BAM! Harry was thrown violently to the back of the bus as the Knight Bus took off. An hour later, they were at the wall of Diagon Alley.

" 'ere we are 'arry," Stan helped Harry down. "Take care of yerself, 'k?" Harry nodded. He walked in front of the wall and tapped the bricks with his wand (A/N: I totally forgot which ones to tap, can any one help?) The wall opened in an arch to reveal the bustling Diagon Alley. Harry dragged his trunk and Hedwig's cage as he walked through the arch.

"Hey! Look it's Harry Potter!" Two little boys came up to him and started following him. Harry grinned at them and kept on walking.

"Wow!" The two boys following him had just noticed a broom in a window display. "Look! It's the new Firebolt!"

Harry kept walking straight ahead.

"Harry!" Hermione waved to him. Ron was next to her, looking very disgruntled.

"Hey Hermione, hey Ron," Harry's heart leaped at the sight of Hermione.

"Harry," Ron nodded at him.

"Guess what Harry? You'll never believe it! I'm Head Girl!" Hermione squealed.

"No way!" exclaimed Harry. Inside he thought, 'Yes! Now I get to share a dorm with her!'

'I hope Harry is Head Boy. Please Please Please.'

"Well, guess what! I'm Head Boy!" With this statement spoken, Ron looked even more disgruntled.

"YES!" Hermione started jumping up and down.

"Gee, I didn't know you'd be this excited," said Harry. But inside he was secretly glad that Hermione was excited to be with him.

Hermione blushed and stopped jumping.

"So you guys been here long?"

Ron grunted.

"What? Are you a monkey now?" Harry joked.

"Just leave me alone!" Hermione looked concerned.

"Ron are you okay?" Hermione patted his shoulder. Ron liked the touch of her hand.

"I'll be fine."

"So where now?"

"Well, Ron and I were thinking about staying at the Leaky Cauldron. You wanna come with us? Later we can go get our stuff."

"Sure!" said Harry happily.

The next day, Harry, Hermione, and Ron set out to Platform 9 ¾at King's Cross. The three of them wheeled their carts to the barrier.

"Ok, maybe we should go in twos," suggested Harry.

"In case you haven't noticed Potter there are THREE of us," said Ron angrily.

Harry reared back. Ron NEVER called him Potter. 'He must be really angry at something.' Little did Harry know that he was mad at HIM.

'I knew he'd be Head Boy! Dumb-ass Dumbledore! Potter is his absolute favorite student. Well, he can just go and do…do…whatever.'

"Let's just go in twos. Me and Harry will go first," suggested Hermione, blushing. She hoped it would work even if they could only be together while walking into the barrier.

Harry nodded, secretly delighted. Ron just grunted again. Harry and Hermione set of in a brisk walk. As they neared the barrier, they accidentally touched each other's shoulders. Harry shuddered. A weird feeling went through him, a good feeling. He kept his shoulder up against Hermione's and she did the same. Ron glared as he watched them walking so close to each other. A group of muggles walked by and the two disappeared. Ron ran to the barrier. He didn't want Hermione alone too long with Potter. He broke through the wall and the sound of a train whistling greeted him.

"Ron! Hurry up! We're gonna be late!" Hermione was waving frantically to him from the train door. Harry was already inside.

The trip to Hogwarts was uneventful. Neville Longbottom came in and bothered them a bit, but that was basically it. When the train door opened, Dumbledore was there to greet them.

"Hello Ron. Harry and Hermione would you follow me please?" Ron scowled as he watched them walk away. Harry and Hermione glanced at each other and turned away quickly, both blushing. They continued following Dumbledore into the castle, looking down at the ground the rest of the way. He led them into his office.

"Lemon drops!" Dumbledore said in front of the statue. The statue jumped up and moved away, revealing the way to his office. Harry and Hermione walked in and closed the door behind them.

"Have a seat," Dumbledore pointed to two chairs. He went to sit down behind his desk.

"As you know, you are Head Boy and Head Girl this year. It will be your responsibility to watch out for first years. You now have the power to give detentions and take away points. However, if you take away points just because you feel like it, you will be severely warned. The second time you do it you will have your badge taken away. Is that understood?" Hermione and Harry both nodded.

"Good," Dumbledore's eyes twinkled at them. "Otherwise, have a fun year. Now please follow me to your dormitories." He led the way up. The dorms were almost at the very top of Hogwarts, above the Gryffindor common room. Dumbledore stood in front of a portrait with a silver knight on it.

"Furnuculus," Dumbledore said to the painting. It swung open to reveal a very spacious common room with a fire blazing merrily in the fireplace. He walked inside and pointed to his left. There was a staircase there.

"That Harry, is your side. Hermione, your side is the right side."

They both nodded. Dumbledore turned around and prepared to leave. "Oh yes, one more thing. You will have to go to the different common rooms and tell them their passwords. You may make them up." Then he left.

"So you wanna go to the Gryffindor common room first?" asked Harry. Hermione nodded without looking up from the ground.

"Hermione? You ok?" Harry lifted her chin with his hand. Hermione blushed at his touch. "Yeah I'm fine. Let's go."

Harry quickly dropped his hand, embarrassed to be touching his love.
