A/N-Wow (in awe ) This fic has gotten 5 reviews, which is five more than I thought it would. I started writing it Friday, posted the first chap Friday. Then wrote the second chap and posted it this morning. Now the third chapter this evening. I write it as it comes to me, but I do have a plot, all you people wondering. Don't worry; the D/H stuff is coming soon. (Clears throat) I thought this chap was ok, but it's not my favorite. Lots of talking and Dumbledore, but it was necessary to set up for the next chapter, which I have in my brain as we speak, um, type. Hopefully it will be up soon.

Sorry the A/N was so long. I hate them too, don't worry.

Viper-vegeta-TADA! Third chapter! Hope you like it.

Bright One-I updated. You'll have to wait just a little longer, I suck at typing.

Ryu Meijin- (Blushes) Thanks bunches! I updated! Thanks again, I try.

Warning-I Do Not own HP. (CRAP). Do not sue. You will only get a computer, two pens, and a cat. Sorry.

SLASHIE GOODNESS IN NEAR FUTURE! Either run for it, or wait until I finish the next chap.LOL Much Love……Enjoy!

Chapter 3 Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans

Draco slammed the door to 12 Grimmauld Place. Hermione and Ron, who had just walked in, jumped as the door slammed apparently by itself. Draco jerked the cloak off and marched up to Hermione.

"What were you thinking? You have no clue what you were playing with! Anything could have happened!" Hermione glared back at Draco.

"Nothing happened did it? No! I researched and I had a pretty good hypothesis. I was in complete control of the situation. Besides Harry is worth it." Hermione grabbed Ron's wrist and dragged him up the stairs.

Ooooooooooooooooo

Hermione stuffed her robes hurriedly into her trunk. Ron was running back and forth from his room to hers, grabbing different things. Hermione jumped when she heard a knock on her bed room door.

"What?" She yelled through the door. Draco entered, looking some what affronted.

"Sense when do we yell in this house, Hermione?" Draco sat on Hermione's bed looking questioningly at her trunk.

"Yes, well obviously you don't know us half as well as you thought. And get off the bed, Draco. I have to finish packing." Hermione turned her back and started ruffling through her drawers.

"Where are you going?" Draco stayed on the bed.

"Where do you think? Hogwarts of course."

"When are you leaving? How are going to get there? You can't apperate inside Hogwarts and the floo's have been shut down ever since the war?" Draco stood up and walked towards Hermione.

"We're leaving now, and we're taking the train. Dumbledore will know what's going on, he always does." Hermione shut the lid of the trunk and magically shrunk it. She hastily stuffed it into a pocket inside her robe and went to check on Ron.

"Hermione, wait! Wait, I'm going with you." Draco looked almost as surprised as Hermione. Almost. "I'm going with you, Mione." Hermione pressed her lips together and gave a curt nod, she started to walk away before spinning back around and hugging Draco tightly.

"Thank you Draco. Thank you." Hermione smiled at him and walked away. Draco shook his head. He never knew what that girl was thinking. But, hell, she was his best friend. Screw it. Draco went to his room and started packing. They were going to Hogwarts.

oooooooooooooooooooo

September 18, 2005

Draco leaned lazily into the barrier separating Kings Cross Station from Platform 9 ¾. He stepped onto the new platform and dusted his robes off. Hermione bumped into him from behind and walked around him, rubbing her nose and mumbling. Ron came next, stumbling threw. Draco shook his head as he followed the two of them to the train and down the aisle as the looked for a compartment. There were not too many people on the Hogwarts Express that morning. A few people on their way to Hogsmeade and a few who appeared to be teachers. Hermione found an empty compartment and at down in the set beside the window, Draco sat across from her and Ron beside her. Draco watched as Hermione took a book out to read and Ron leaned back and shut his eyes. Draco hadn't really thought of what he'd do on the journey to Hogwarts, he was busy worrying about what he'd do when he got there.

About two hours later Draco slowly opened his eyes and smirked at what he saw. Hermione leaning against the window with Ron laying half way across her, his mouth open snoring quietly. The train pulled to a stop and Ron jerked awake as he fell to the floor. Hermione snapped her book closed and deposited it in one of the many pockets of her robe. Standing, she stepped over Ron and hurried out of the compartment, Draco following behind her. As he stepped off the Hogwarts Express for the first time in three years he understood that stupid riddle the tree creature a recited, "…Hidden away in a secret place. Not far from where you still call home." Being even this close to Hogwarts filled him with a warmth and security he knew he shouldn't get. Hogwarts was still home, even after all these years. Hermione, Draco and Ron began their walk up the hill to their old school, the gravel crunching beneath their feet. As Hogwarts came into sight they all let out a quiet sigh, it looked the exact same it always had. There were so many memories; every stone had its own story. They passed by Hagrid's old hut and the forbidden forest, as they passed many of the students standing out side the hut looked up at them questioningly an older man stood in front of the students waving his hands around as he talked. Hermione leaned towards Draco.

"Where's Hagrid?" Draco shook his head and continued walking, ignoring the students and their whispers. As they reached the doors they were thrown open and there stood Dumbledore, looking like he had been expecting them and smiling secretively.

"Ah, it is always good to see my former students return to Hogwarts! Come, we'll go to my office and talk. Or we can just sit; it's completely up to you, of course." Dumbledore turned and headed back into the castle. Ron and Hermione shot each other a look before following, Draco bringing up the rear. Dumbledore stopped in front of a Gargoyle statue, and smiled before saying, "Chocolate covered coffee beans!" The gargoyle jumped up and moved out of the way. After stepping off of the rotating staircase he opened a heavy wooden door and entered his office, the three friends trailing behind him. Chairs were magically added so that they could all sit, before Dumbledore planted his old hinny in his chair and tented his fingers, looking innocently over the tops of his finger tips.

"Dumbledore, we've come to talk to you about Harry. I know we've been over this a hundred times, but I feel now that we have some new information we may be able to find him." Hermione looked at Dumbledore.

"Why are you looking for Harry now? What your reason for being here?" Dumbledore's lip twitched slightly before he controlled the movement.

"Wh…What are you saying, Dumbledore? We're here because we think Harry might be at Hogwarts."

"Well of course he is Miss. Granger, he never left."

A/N-REVIEW PEOPLE! I'm a starving artist. I need reviews to survive. And cat food if anybody has it.
