Chapter 2-Truth and Lies

Harry awoke that morning and ran down to the common room. He woke Ron up so that they both could have breakfast with Hermione. They both got dressed and quickly ran back downstairs to wait for her. There they ran into Ginny.

"Hey, Ginny," Harry said. "Where's Hermione?

"She left. She told me to tell you guys not to wait for her."

"Where has she been going," Ron asked.

"I wish I knew," said Harry.

"Lets go to breakfast," said Ginny quickly wanting to get off of this subject.

They headed off to the Great Hall for breakfast. After that they went off to their first class. Ginny had Defense Against the Dark Arts first. Ron had History first while Harry had Care of Magical Creatures.

Harry walked out the doors of Hogwarts toward Hagrid's hut. He noticed that Hermione was standing with Hagrid. He ran down the hill to go and see them.

"Hey guys"

"Hey," Hermione said.

"Hello 'arry," said Hagrid.

"Nice to see you again Hagrid,"

"Nice ter see you too 'arry. Well I guess I better go and get ready fer class."

"So, Hermione, where have you been?"

"Nowhere. Don't worry about it. Anyway, how have you been? Did you sleep fine last night?" said Hermione remembering last year's events.

"Fine," said Harry quickly wanting to quickly get off of this subject.

The class started on a quick walk thorught the Forrbidden Forest. Their lesson was on harmful and harmless creatures in the forest.

There next class was Divination followed by lunch. Harry and Ron found Hermione and sat down in there normal seats. This is the first time the trio got to talk together since they made it back to Hogwarts.

"Professor Binn's class is so freaking boring. I mean seriously how can it be interesting if you can't even understand the guy. He talks so fast. Do any of you guys have your notes from last year?"

"Ron! You're never going to learn anything that way."

"Hey Harry, we need to work on a schedule for the DA this year. When's quiddich practice?"

"We have it Tuesdays and Thursdays, how about Monday, Wednesday and Friday?"

"Well Wednesday s aren't good for me"

"What could you possibly be doing Hermione?" Ron asked.

"Uhh…I'm taking an extra class."

"You can never stop can you?"

"What class are you taking?" Harry asked.

"Umm…Defense Against the Dark Arts. Anyways, I have to go. See you there."

"Damn. Why the hell is she always leaving I wish she would just fucken' tell us where she's going so we don't have to worry about her." Ron said.

"Yeah. I know."

"Harry can you do me a favor?"

"Sure, Ron, anything."

"Can you …umm…talk to Hermione for me. See if she likes me but don't ask her straight out just hint around. You see, I've had a crush on her since 3rd year."

Harry tried to find the words to say he'd do it, even though he didn't want to. Harry had had a crush on Hermione forever except he didn't show it and no one knew about it."

"Yeah…Ill do I, Ron." Harry said his voice very shaky.

"Harry…Do you have a crush on Hermione?"

"No I don't ,"said Harry getting very frusterated as he ran off to Defense Against the Dark Arts.
