Ok here is the next chapter...
The next few days were uneventful unless you count Tonks smashing about twenty plates. Harry had been wondering over the past few days whether or not he would be allowed to rejoin the quidditch team. He thought he should ask Ron or Ginny. He walked into Ron's room and saw that both he and Ginny were there.
"Hey do you guys no if I am allowed to rejoin the team when we get back to Hogwarts?"
Ginny answered first "I told you last year you are only banned as long as Umbridge is there and she is gone so you can rejoin I do not want to be a seeker anymore I would rather be a chaser".
"Good cose I can't go another year without playing quidditch".
"Well I don't think I want to quit anymore" said Ron happily.
"Why?" they both said.
"Well because I thought I sucked and well we still won so I don't think I will quit its fun anyway and I am getting better".
"We know you are Ron you have told us one hundred times already" said Ginny "you are starting to sound like Percy".
Since neither of them stopped or starred Harry thought it would be okay to ask something
"Since the ministry believes us now is Percy back in your family?"
"Yes he came over about two weeks ago and apologized for his rude behavior Mum was so happy" said Ron.
"Well we better go to bed we have to leave early tomorrow so we don't miss the train" said Ginny.
"Ok night" said Harry.
"Goodnight" they both said. Harry climbed into bed and went to sleep.
The next morning they all rushed out of bed as they were going to Hogwarts in about 30 minutes. They got to the train station with only 3 minutes to spare.
"Quick everyone or we will miss the train" yelled Mrs.Weasly. They only just made it onto the platform as the train started leave. They all quickly hopped on and went to find a compartment. They went to the end of the train and again had to sit in a compartment with Luna.
"Hello Luna" said Ginny smiling.
"Hey Luna" said Hermione also smiling.
"Hello" said Ron and Harry at the same time putting on a fake smile.
"Hello everyone" she said smiling at Harry.
The train ride had been really dull and it was just about to get worse as Ron tapped Harry while looking miserably at the door. Harry quickly looked around and saw Malfoy looking back at him.
"Hello there weaslbee" he said happily.
"Shut it Malfoy" said Harry.
"Ohhhh sticking up for your girlfriend there potter" said Malfoy insultingly. Harry was getting sick of this he was just about to raise and punch Malfoy when he saw Malfoy glance at Hermione and smile. Then as if he had just been pulled back into the real world he looked back at them. Hermione had not seen this but Harry, Ron and Ginny had. They all looked horrified at Malfoy. Malfoy looked at their expressions and it took him a while to put two and two together but when he did his face lost all color and he turned and ran out of the compartment.
"Oh my god" said Harry, Ron and Ginny altogether, looking at Hermione.
"Why did he run away" said Hermione.
"Hermione d....dd ......did y...you know dra...Malfoy likes you?" said Ron stuttering.
"WHAT" yelped Hermione? Then Harry began to tell her what they just saw.
"Oh my god" she said. She looked like she was just about to throw up.
"So there's nothing going on with you two?" said Ron suspiciously.
"Yes Ron I'm going out with him and I have kept it from you all these years" said Hermione sarcastically.
"I can't believe you would actually think that" she said looking astounded.
"Well he did look at you weirdly" said Harry.
"And he didn't say anything mean about you like he usually does" added Ginny. Harry had only just noticed but Luna had fallen asleep while they were all talking.
"We better keep it down we don't want to wake her" said Hermione quietly.
They reached Hogwarts right on time and moved their way into a carriage. Harry looked over and to his relief saw lights on in Hagrids hut which meant that he would be teaching care of magical creatures. It took about 5 minutes to reach the front doors. They hopped out of the carriage and went into the castle. They headed straight for the great hall they all sat closest to the front of the teachers table. It took about twenty minutes before everyone had settled down and Professor. McGonagall bought the first years in with the sorting hat at her side. She placed the hat on the stool and began to call out names. She went on for what seemed like two hours before she had finally finished sorting Nicole Preston into Gryffindor. Dumbledore then stood up and started speaking
"We also have one more new person who is to join our school she was currently in grade six at Beauxbatons and has transferred to Hogwarts. Please Welcome".....
Ok I no that was really short but I have more... Please R&R
