"Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny let's go! You don't want to be late for the train!" Mrs. Weasley called from downstairs. Harry quickly threw his books, robes, wand, and everything else into his trunk and slammed it shut. He met Ron on the landing on his way downstairs.

"Hey Harry, you ok? You've been acting kinda strange for the past couple days," Ron asked as they walked down the stairs.

"Yeah Ron, I'm fine. I'm going back to Hogwarts and I never have to see the Dursleys again. How could I be happier?" Harry replied, although there was a slight tone of bitterness in his voice. Ron either didn't catch it or chose to ignore it.

"Oh there you two are! I've been up since five this morning getting ready. I can't believe this will be our last time going back!" Hermione exclaimed when Harry and Ron arrived in the kitchen.

"I know what you mean. I can't believe it's almost over," Harry agreed. Hermione smiled. Harry looked at her. He looked into her deep brown eyes. How could she be with Ron? How? Hadn't she kissed him in their forth year? Hadn't she thrown herself onto him in their second year after being petrified and only given Ron a handshake? This didn't make any sense. Harry looked at her for a long time before Hermione finally said something.

"Well, uh, we'd better, uh, get going," she stuttered, slightly blushing.

"Er, yeah. Right. C'mon," Harry agreed. Hermione exited the kitchen. Harry began to follow, but Ron pulled him back.

"What was that?" he asked angrily.

"What?" Harry asked confused.

"I saw how you were looking at her. You're jealous aren't you?" Ron demanded.

"Ron, I-"

"Admit it Harry. You want her but you can't have her. That's why you've been acting so bloody bitter toward me lately, isn't it?" Ron realized. Harry stared at him. He didn't know what to say. Ron was right. But Harry couldn't say that. Not now. Not to his face.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I know Hermione is your girlfriend and I'm fine with that. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go get my trunk loaded so I can leave. Don't want to be late, do we?" Harry said before turning and walking out of the kitchen leaving Ron standing alone, stunned.

"So, is little Ronnie having problems with his girlfriend and best friend?" said a voice from behind Ron. Ron rolled his eyes and turned around to come face to face with Fred and George.

"I'm not having problems. I'm just making sure Harry doesn't try anything," Ron corrected them.

"Mm hmm," Fred replied, disbelievingly.

"Looks to me like you're jealous," George pointed out.

"What? Why would I be jealous? I'm the one that has her. Not Harry. He should be jealous. And he is!" Ron exclaimed.

"Ah, but Ron, look at it this way. Fred and I were watching from the doorway. Harry obviously likes Hermione. But you have her. He wants her. Already you have a problem," George started.

"What do you mean I do? Harry does," Ron said.

"No. Harry's fine. Think, Ron. Didn't you see the way they were looking at each other? That was love, little brother," Fred told him.

"Hermione doesn't love him," Ron said sternly.

"Doesn't she? She kissed him in forth year. She never argues with him. She's always happy to see him. These are just some of the signs," George reminded him.

"Yeah, but if Hermione was in love with Harry, why did she say yes to me?" Ron asked.

"Simple. Hermione said yes to you because she didn't want to start a fight between you and Harry by turning you down for him," Fred replied.

"So she said yes to you. But she really wanted Harry to ask first," George continued.

"So you think that Hermione's gonna leave me for him?" Ron asked.

"Yep," Fred replied.

"And let's be honest, Harry's nice, fun, courageous, and has proved himself worthy of being able to take care of a girl. What with all he's been through," George pointed out.

"Plus, Harry's always been a lot better looking than you," Fred finished.

"Thanks guys, you've been a lot of help," Ron said sarcastically.

"No problem little brother," George replied as the twins walked out of the kitchen laughing.

"No good bloody little-"

"Ron are you coming?" Mrs. Weasley called from the front room. Ron hurried out to meet the rest. "Ok. Now let's go."

A little later, Mrs. Weasley and the four others had arrived at the train station.

"All right. Ron you first. Hurry," Mrs. Weasley instructed. Ron hurried through the barrier and was soon followed by Ginny, Harry, Hermione, and his mother.

"Have a good year. Write occasionally. Have fun. I'll see you at the end of terms," Mrs. Weasley said as she kissed each one of them goodbye.

"Bye mom," said Ginny and Ron.

"Bye Mrs. Weasley," Harry and Hermione called as the four of them got aboard the train. Mrs. Weasley waved until the train was out of sight and the four were off for yet another adventure filled year at Hogwarts.
