Hey ok this is a Harry potter fanfic but I do not own any of the characters or Hogwarts or anything like that. I have written this as if it is their sixth year in Hogwarts and does not reveal any of the official sixth book. So don't worry if you haven't finished it yet or anything. Ok well please read my story and give it a fair and honest review but I prefer nice ones if you want to be kind. Thanks.

Ch one "Who have a what………………?"

'Hermione, Come on! Come on!' yelled Ron and to Harry 'What is it with girls and taking for ever.'

At this point Hermione came running down breathlessly 'Sorry guys I got a letter from my brother and he was...'

'Wow! Wow! Wow! You have a…..a BROTHER' stuttered Ron in shock

'Yeah he is 21 and amazing but he never knew when...'

'But how come you never mentioned him before'

'I don't know' she was now looking sheepishly 'I mean, I guess I am so use to keeping him protected from my magic that I subconsciously kept you from my brother. Anyway back to my letter he found out about my magic and wants to me to come home for Christmas so we can talk about it. I can't wait I have wanted him to know for so long. But I was so afraid he would be all weird or something but he isn't he is really the best brother ever.'

'Can we eat now I'm starving?' spoke up Harry eventually.

'Sure' said Hermione' I don't know why we are all standing around here' and with that she took smartly leaving Ron spluttering and gesturing to Harry who rolled his eyes and followed Hermione.

Down in the dining hall Harry eventually asked Hermione

'How did he find out? I mean you brother.'

She paused and then said 'I actually don't know. He didn't say. I never thought of that. I suppose my parents told him. Never mind though I am so relived and happy he knows. We used to be so close but ever since I found out about being a witch I felt us drift because I could never tell him'

'Hermione, I don't want to be all weird but it doesn't feel right. I think something is up'

'Like what?' asked a tense Hermione.

I don't know. It just doesn't seem right? Shrugged Harry now regretting bringing it up.

'Look Harry I don't know what your problem is but maybe it is because so far this year has been normal for us. Maybe you need the adventure but I don't. I'm happy he knows and I don't care what you feel. You and stupid feelings!' she slammed her glass down that she was about to drink out of.

'I suppose you agree Ron. Ron started to choke on his food. 'Em no I mean I em look. I don't know. Well Harry is usually right about his feelings isn't he and I mean he is only trying to help. Aren't you, mate?'

Harry was glaring at Hermione 'You think I would make this up for the adventure or something. Fine! Whatever forget I mentioned it.' He started to butter his bread but he did it too aggressively and tore a hole in his bread 'oh bother' he muttered under his breath 'I am going to bed.' He said and got up in all one motion 'see you tomorrow.'

Hermione kept sighing till Ron eventually said 'Hermione that was a bit harsh. He was only looking out for you and you tore into him'

Hermione just burst into tears and ran from the room. Ron sat there in shock he never made anyone cry before and after some thought decided that it wasn't him but he thought he better go look for his friends thought he wasn't sure which friend he wanted to run into.

Turns out he ran into neither and went to bed relieved but he felt worried about tomorrow he was never the piggy in the middle before and Harry never fought with Hermione before. It was all so weird.

He settled down into a restless night sleep and woke up exhausted next morning to find Harry already gone.

Class got no better if Harry was sitting beside Ron; Hermione would sit somewhere else and vice- versa till Ron had enough and sat with nether one of them. At lunch Ron finally had enough and dragged both of them out to the yard out side under the tree they always sit under and said 'talk.'

After what seemed like an endless silence Hermione made some excuse and left but Ron was having none of it and grabbed her around the waist and pushed her back to the ground but ended up lying on top of her and they caught each others eye and stared till Harry broke the moment by coughing 'oh so subtly'.

Ron went bright red and awkwardly got up and Hermione finally broke and apologized for being so mean but warned Harry to leave her brother alone. He knew nothing about him. Harry said fine though a little too gruffly and then they had to go to class with no lunch.

Ron was happy he got them all talking again and wouldn't stop smiling for hours afterward because he was so proud but little did he know he only covered up a problem not fixed it and went to bed that night in ignorance of everyone thoughts.

Harry got up in middle of the night and looked out his window he was so nervous about the upcoming holidays Ron hadn't invited him yet and usually he would be invited ages ago Hermione isn't staying school and this is the first xmas since Sirius di……..wouldn't be here. He was so worried and upset at the thought of staying here all alone but couldn't bear to bring it up with the others for fear of them taking pity.

Meanwhile Hermione was in her bed staring out her window thinking about what Harry had said. It really struck a cord with her because she had been feeling the same thing as Harry something wasn't right. But she decided it just felt strange him knowing and decided it was all Harry fault for putting ideas in her head even though deep down she knew she was lying to her self.
