I know everyone seemed a little OC but I'll try to clear it up.

Read and Enjoy!

The summer vacation ended for Harry just as soon as it began. He had enjoyed it well enough, but Hermione, if it was possible, had become colder than she had been at the Dursley's. She ignored him completely when he came into a room, she would merely get up and walk away when he asked her something, and they had gotten into more fights about the littlest things than Ron and Hermione had.

The only thing odd Harry found about the fights was that Hermione would cry, or at least tear up, every time they fought. She would yell at him through her tears and when he finally asked what was wrong, she would just yell, "Men are always so SHALLOW! The pretty things blind you all that you don't even take time to look at what's lying at your OWN FRONT DOOR!"

The Weasleys, Harry, Hermione, and Padma all arrived at King's Cross in silence after a particularly bad verbal war, where Hermione had told Harry that the only reason he couldn't see what was going on was because he had never been taught that by his parents. When Harry shouted at her that it wasn't his fault that he hadn't learned those things, she responded by saying that it was his entire fault his parents were dead. Harry had only stared at her, not believing what he had just heard.

Putting their trunks and other belonging on the carts, they rolled on to the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. Taking turns, they entered platform 9 ¾. Hermione immediately broke away from the group, threw Harry a look of absolute hate and towed her belonging onto the bright red Hogwarts Express. Harry flinched, but followed her onto the train, followed by Ron, Padma, Ginny and the twins.

Hermione entered an empty compartment and sat down after placing her trunk on the rack above. Crookshanks, the ugly orange cat she owned, curled up onto her lap. Harry paused outside the door, wondering if he should go in. He decided to just go in and opened the compartment door. Hermione looked up at him with a look that would have done Snape proud. Harry simply stared back at her with a look of absolute resentment in his bottle green eyes.

Hermione suddenly turned scarlet under Harry's gaze and turned away to look out the window. Harry sat across from her, with Padma, Ron and Ginny following. They were just leaving the station when Harry opened his mouth to speak. The compartment door flew open and Harry was momentarily stalled.

"Harry!" squealed Cho Chang, a beautiful Asian girl from Ravenclaw. She ran over and planted a passionate kiss on Harry's lips. All hell seemed to break loose after that.

A loud, irritated hiss rent the air. Several trunks fell from the racks above as several profanities passed through the room. Some one yelled "Silencio" and then all was quiet. Harry and Cho pulled apart just in time to see Padma and Ginny drag a mute Hermione out the door. They both looked at Ron but he looked just as puzzled as they were.

Shutting the door, Parvati, Padma's twin sister, turned around as Lavender Brown and Ginny forced Hermione into a chair.

"So, what's going on?" she asked as Padma muttered the counter curse and Hermione opened her mouth to speak. Ginny placed her hand on top of Hermione's mouth and said, "Hermione, please don't talk. None of us are interested in your colorful array of verbal usage." Lavender giggled. Hermione glared at her but said nothing. Ginny sighed, removing her hand.

"Hermione," she said wearily, "What possessed you to try a stunt like that?" Hermione glanced at her then stared out the window.

"I don't know," she muttered. "I just know that I couldn't stand seeing those two snogging in front of me. I had to do something!" Lavender smiled knowingly.

"Yes," she said. "That is what happens when you are in love." Hermione fell off her chair, blushing violently. She was about to retort when the compartment door slid open and to heads appeared. Dean and Ron both looked down at Hermione, who blushed even more.

"Um, Hermione," Ron said coming into the room. Dean motioned for Ginny to come out of the compartment, and the rest left as well, seeing that Ron wanted to talk to Hermione alone. When everyone was gone, Ron kneeled down beside her.

"You love him, don't you?" he asked. Hermione jumped, staring at him with horror written in her chocolate brown eyes. Ron smiled in amusement.

"That was some kind of stunt you tried to pull," he told her. "To bad it didn't work, though next time, I suggest you be quiet or everyone within 10 miles of here will hear you." She smiled, pulling him into a hug.

"Thank you," she whispered. He kissed her forehead, smiling down at her.

"Yeah, well, you know you couldn't live without me," he said, puffing out his chest. Hermione giggled, planting a kiss on his cheek.

"No, I couldn't!" she grinned. Outside the compartment, Harry stood watching the actions of his best friends. Harry felt a rush of anger swell up in his chest when he saw Ron kiss Hermione and Hermione return the favor.

Why am I feeling this way? He thought as he walked back to his compartment. Why am I angry at them, it was just a brotherly, sisterly kiss, right? I mean, Ron's dating Padma, he wouldn't go behind her back and date Hermione. He would tell me. These thoughts raided his mind as he sat in the compartment, even after both returned, Hermione looking a bit more cheerful.
