The Hogwarts Express Trip

ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE JKR'S...STILL (this chapter has minor nudity in it!)

As the entered the train station, and headed towards the barrier, they were all talking about how exciting the new year was going to be and just how fun it would be to be in all the same classes and stuff like that. They had to make sure that they would not be spotted by any muggles. Just as Ron was going through... a muggle spotted him!

"Ronald! Get in here!" Mrs.Weasley said as Ron stopped to see the muggle.

Ron didn't seem to want to move.

" That must be one interesting muggle," Harry said as he looked at Ron. Hermione pushed Harry aside and ran over to Ron. She thought quickly and did the one thing that might really get Ron to move. She went up on tiptoe and kissed Ron, and it wasn't just a short kiss on the lips- it was a huge make-out like kiss that lasted for 3 minutes!

"Ron? Hermione? What's all this?" Ron and Hermione turned around and saw Ron's mother, who was staring at them without blinking.

"Oh! Mum! Hi! Nice Day for a train ride!" Ron said quickly and then the four of them, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, ran to the train and hopped aboard. They found an empty compartment and sat down for the ride to Hogwarts.

"I am willing to sit by you and Hermione, as long as you promise not to start snogging on the way to school. Ron and Hermione blushed and the promised that there would be no kissing of any sort in the compartment."

"So…Ginny, you said that you were going to tell me who you like!" Ron said as the train sped onwards.

Ginny looked over at Hermione, and then glanced over at Harry. He was looking at her with an unreadable look on his face, but to her, his eyes showed something. She was trying to figure it out when Hermione butted in.

"Harry, you have to tell us who you like first... because you are a guy and guys are supposed to be braver than girls." Harry looked down at his hands; he knew that if he said whom he liked, she would know, because she happened to be in the nearby vicinity. His mind was rushing telling him to kiss Ginny so that they would ALL know whom he loved, or that he could just be vague and say that everyone knew her. In the end he decided to just whisper it to Hermione, so that Ron and Ginny couldn't hear him. Hermione had a huge smile on her face after Harry told her whom he liked.

She gave Ginny a smile that clearly said "oh, Ginny, he likes you! He really likes you!" Ginny's heart skipped a beat- Harry potter liked her...HER, Ginerva Weasley- Ron's little sister!

And since she liked him, they could get together, as a Couple! But... she would not let Harry know that she liked him until Harry let her know that he liked her- not through Hermione.

Ginny stood up and went to go find Luna, to tell her that she wasn't going to be able to join her in 5th year festivities. When it was only the trio in the compartment, Ron looked over at Harry.

"So... tell me who you like! I mean, you trust Hermione! Why don't you trust me?"

Harry looked at Hermione "should I tell him? I don't' want to make him mad!"

Hermione looked at Harry, then at Ron. She had a confused look on her face.

"Well...I guess that if Ron promises not to get mad... I mean , he has a right to be a bit mad... but its not like you're going to do anything."

Ron stood up " I Swear that I will not get mad! If I get mad, you have a right to chuck me out of the compartment!"

Harry sighed, looking at his two best friends. " Alright, Ron, I well...I love. well, you know her, we all do, and well..."

"Its not Padma is it? because... I only went to the ball with her- I wouldn't be mad."

" n-no, she's a ravenclaw- I love a gryffindor girl." Ron looked confused, like he was trying to think of who it could be, but was drawing up a blank.

Just then someone walked in and said that they were approaching Hogwarts and that they needed to get their robes on.

" You boys will have to go into a different compartment, I need to change my shirt." the boys got their stuff and went out to change. Hermione pulled down her trunk and got out her robes, nice shoes, and a nice clean white shirt. She pulled off her London bridge tee shirt, but before she put on her other shirt, she decided to dig through her trunk for the bag where she put her dirty clothes on trips. Little did she know that Ron had forgotten his shoes, and had decided to come back to the compartment, in order to grab them. He was positive that Hermione would have had her shirt on by now, but he wasn't sure about it.

He opened the door and then stepped inside and shut the door again. When he turned around, he saw that Hermione was only standing there in her bra and skirt.

" RON! I DON'T HAVE A SHIRT ON!" Hermione yelled as she tried to cover her bra up. Ron couldn't help it- he stared at her- she had really filled out over the summer, his mouth went dry.

"Bloody hell!" he said, looking at her chest. Hermione gave a shy little smile and let her arms drop to her sides. She decided to ask something that she had wanted to ask for a while. "Ron...um...have you ever seen a topless girl?" Ron nodded slowly "porno" he mouthed.

Hermione smiled " do you want to see another one?"

Ron nodded quickly, he was hoping that what he thought would happen would happen. Hermione started to undo the clasp at the front of her bra. Ron stared fixedly, he didn't dare to blink, he had been dreaming of this for months, well, more than this, but he had dreamed of Hermione stripping for him. Hermione started to open the bra- Ron stared so hard that his eyes started to hurt a bit. Hermione pulled her bra off all the way. Ron looked at her; he saw her milky white skin, looking so smooth. He reached for her, drawing her into a romantic embrace. They started kissing, tongues exploring each other's mouths. Ron hesitantly put one of his hands on one of Hermione's breasts. Hermione gave a small gasp, but didn't stop him

. All of the sudden, Ron was yanked off of her, she opened her eyes, she saw, behind Ron, Ginny Weasley. " Ron! What are you doing to Hermione?"

Ron just opened and shut his mouth. Hermione quickly put on her bra again and pulled on her shirt. "Ginny- it was my fault- I wanted to- I didn't stop him!"

Ginny looked at Hermione. "oh...I-I-I'm sorry, I guess I'm just j-j-jealous."

Hermione pulled Ginny into a hug. " don't worry- you'll get your chance soon- he loves you too"

Ginny sniffed and sat down. Hermione put her hand on Ron's cheek " I promise we can start from where we left off later- I love you."

Ron smiled " love you too" Hermione smiled and pushed him out of the compartment.

" Go chat with Harry" She said, and Ron walked down the hall.

"Ginny, I know now how you feel about Harry, because that is how I feel about Ron. I know that you need Harry, but he is too I guess, nervous, to ask you out."

Ginny opened the door and looked down the hall to the compartment where she knew that Ron and Harry were. She longed to go down there and snog Harry until he couldn't snog anymore.

She knew that if it got too serious, she might end up in his bed, she wasn't ready for that yet. She knew that there were both muggle and magical ways to keep her from getting pregnant, but even those could fail. She looked at Hermione and decided to ask Hermione what she would do if Ron wanted to have sex with her. Hermione had to think about that one. She knew that she would want to, but if she did, and something happened, she could be screwed up for life. She did not want to have a kid at 16. She would rather get married and be with the man she loved before she did that. Hermione also knew that her mind might deceive her, and that most likely, she would get into his bed before the year was out.

"Ginny, all I can say is that many people have different opinions, and mine is probably not the best option"

"Well, what other option do I have? I don't really feel like asking mum all that much."

" I see your point- I don't know if your mother would be very sympathetic to your plight."

Ginny stood up and looked around. She opened the window and leaned out of it. " Ginny! What are you doing?"

Ginny came back in " Oh, I just needed some fresh air! What. Didja think that I was going to go all suicidal on you?"

"I don't know- I was just kind of freaked out when you leaned out that far!" Ginny grinned and went out of the compartment.

Hermione looked after her and saw that she was headed towards the compartment where Luna Lovegood was reading the latest issue of the Quibbler.

'I don't know what could make Ginny think that Luna would give romantic advice!' Hermione thought as she sat back down and pulled out her copy of The Standard book of Spells Grade 6 and started to read it for the third time since she had bought it.

In the compartment that Ginny had just entered sat a Girl with long curly blonde hair and a daydreamers eyes. Her name was Luna Athena Lovegood, and she was one of the most interesting people that Ginerva Weasley had ever met.

" Hey Luna, how was your summer?"

Luna looked up and saw that it was Ginny. " Fine, Just fine, father and I traveled to America to see if we could find out why all the Whizerblee decided to come across the sea to England. It was most interesting! He wrote a large article on the subject as well."

Ginny just looked at Luna. She knew that Luna was a bit scatterbrained and that she thought that such creatures existed.

'first it was the crumple horned snorkack and now its the whgizerbee! what will this girl believe in next?'

Ginny smiled at Luna, and then sat down across from her. " I havce to tell you some good news I was accepted into the 6th year a year early!"

Luna smiled serenely "What good news Ginny! I didn't get accepted into the 6th year though, apparently the person who graded my entrance paper had never heard of the jibjab of South Africa."

"o...oh! The jibhab! of course! he must not have ever taken care of magical creatures!"

"of course! I must write to the testing center and ask to take the test again, this time with a much more learned teacher."

Ginny just looked out of the window and then she stood up and headed for the door. " I have to go now, were almost there, I'll talk to you when I get the chance!"

Ginny opened the door and ran down the Corridor, hurrying into the compartment where Hermione sat, fully engrossed in the book that she was reading. Ginny couldn't hold it in any longer, she bust out into huge peals of laughter.

" What is it this year?" Hermione asked, looking up from her book.

" oh- it's the Jibjab and the wizerbee." Ginny said between gasps for breath. Hermione pulled out a bottle of Aquafina from her bookbag and handed it to Ginny, who eyed it skeptically.

" its just water Gin, not poison." Ginny opened the bottle and took a few long drinks.

" This is good! Where did you get it?"

" Um.. Safeway... why do you ask?"

" no reason, I just want to get some for myself, you know, to take places." Hermione stifled a giggle, but promised that she would get some more to give to Ginny.

When the train pulled into Hogwarts station, all the students gave happy cheers, glad to be back to school after the long holiday. They all disembarked from the trains and headed over to where the seemingly invisible horses stood, waiting to pull the carriages to the castle.

As the carriages sped through the torrential rain, Harry stared out the window, thinking about the pretty redhead across from him, her read hair blowing in the wind. Ron tapped him on the shoulder and he realized that he had just reached his hand out, as if to take an invisible hand.

" Harry, whats up mate? You seem really out of it today!"

Harry just looked at Ron and then over at the two girls sitting on the other side of the carriage.

" So...Ron, what was going on earlier on the train?" Ginny asked, a teasing smile playing at her lips.

Ron's mouth went dry again and he shot a pleading look at Hermione. "Harry, it is none of your business!" Hermione said quickly, just as Harry started to look suspiciously at the two of them.

" Why must you always keep me out of the circle? I like to be in the circle!"

" Because Mate, Hermione and I need stuff that is just between the two of us, k?" Harry nodded, but he had an idea of what was up, but he was distracted from his thoughts as a chill swept over him.

He looked around, looking for a dementor, but there wasn't one that he could see. He noticed that all the others had noticed the icy chills too.

" Harry... is it... is it?" Hermione asked, plugging her ears.

" No, I don't know what it is, but it's not a dementor." Harry said reassuringly. He looked around, and saw to his relief that it was only one of the students in another carriage, which had managed to magically bewitch the weather so that it had started to snow.

Hermione was looking at the snow, she seemed very deep in thought. " I don't' know what type of spell they used, but it is very hard magic to learn, in order to change the weather."

Ginny tried to keep warm, but she couldn't seem to keep warm enough. Hermione was having issues with the cold too.

" 'Mione, what's wrong?" Ron asked, looking at the shivering Hermione. He went over to her and put his arms around her, making it so that she was much warmer.

Ginny looked at the two of them and then glanced at Harry out of the corner of her eye. HE was looking at her, but she couldn't read his expression.

'please Harry, I'm freezing, please, keep me warm! can't you see that I love you and want you to be beside me to guard me and to guide me? Yeesh, I'm sounding like Hermione, quoting the phantom...please Harry!"

She knew that Harry couldn't hear her thoughts, but she decided to take matters into her own hands. She moved over next to Harry, acting as if she was giving Ron and Hermione room. She shivered vigorously, her teeth chattering. Harry looked over at her and decided that he should do something about her being so cold.

HE pulled off his robes, just wearing his school uniform underneath. He put his robes over Ginny, and then , not even thinking, he put his arm round her.

" The-thank you H-Harry." Ginny said, leaning into him.'

' She can't love me too... she just must really want to get warm...oh, god, she is so gorgeous!' He smiled to himself and leaned into Ginny too, not knowing that the girl who loved him was leaning right up against his side, and that she was thinking of him, just as he was thinking of her.

The carriages pulled up before the steps to Hogwarts school, and the students got out and started to walk our the stairs to the school, looking around as they entered the familiar entrance Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
