A/N: Okay all I did was break up chapter one, it was to long for me, next chapter should be up in a week maybe less.
Chapter 2
"Harry?" Ron said shaking his shoulder. "Harry wake up were here, at Hogwarts are well…almost last year." He said as Harry sat up.
"That's great Ron." He said getting up. He saw that Hermione had already left so he just walked out of the compartment followed by Ron, and headed towards the carriages.
It was a dark night, darker then Harry had seen in a long time, even with the lights on it was still hard to see. The rain coming down hard and fast made it very hard to see the person in front of you. But out of all the thunder and commotion, you could still hear Hagrids voice loud and clear guiding the first years to him. He was waving two bright orange lights in his hands that reminded Harry of the kind of lights muggle's use to park cars with or what the police use anyways. Harry shook his head then climbed into a carriage with Ron. Soon after they were in it the carriage started to move, heading towards the castle doors.
Once all the carriage's reached Hogwarts, and every student that was a second year to a seventh year was seated at there houses table's the first years came in and one by one were sorted into there house. After Professor Dumbledore gave his long speech to the first years, and after he introduced the Head Boy and Girl dinner was served. Harry looked around at the Gryffindor table trying to find a certain brunette girl and soon enough his eyes landed right on her.
She was talking to Neville Longbottom, he was also a sixth year and obsessed with Herbology. They were both probably talking about that class right now. Hermione went to put more mash potatoes on her plate and found Harry staring at her. He quickly looked away from her and looked down at his plate. Hermione gave herself a scoop smiling to herself then turned back towards Neville. "Well are you going to eat or what?" Ron asked Harry seeing that all he was doing was playing with his food.
"I think I lost my appetite." Harry said in response, pushing his plate forward and looking at Ron.
"You sure Harry, you don't look so good?" Seamus said.
"I'm fine just a very bad day is all." Harry said sighing.
"Sorry to hear that Harry, but everyone has one of those every once in a while, it's only normal." Seamus said after he took a drink out of he glass.
"Are you sure that's pumpkin juice?" Harry asked him.
"Positive, why?"
"Because I think I need something a little stronger then that to calm me down." Harry said to Seamus.
"Damn, you must have had a very bad day, what happened mate?" Seamus said, knowing that Harry only drinks when his depressed.
"Cho broke up with me." Was all Harry said.
"What?" Seamus said, coughing now that he swallowed his drink wrong. After a couple of minutes he stopped and Harry and Ron were both just staring at him not knowing what to do. "Damn don't worry about me or anything I'm just sitting over here dying." He said to the people around him. "Anyway are you serious? She really broke up with you?"
"Yes, is that so hard to believe." Harry said, and both him and Ron said yes. "Thanks guys."
"What happened? I thought you two were talking about getting married after school got out. I mean, you've been dating each other for two and a half years now." Seamus said.
"Yeah I know, everyone thought you to were, like the perfect couple at Hogwarts." Ron said.
"Yeah well tell that to me now." Harry said. "She left me for an old friend of hers. She supposedly ran into him in Hawaii this summer and spent two weeks with him."
"Those bastards." Seamus said. "I say we find out who he is and kill him."
"Yeah…well that would be great but it's really not necessary. As long as she happy, I'm happy." Harry said and Seamus couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Listen to me mate. She cheated on you with him and your not going to do anything about it?" Seamus said.
"What do you really expect me to do?" Harry said.
"Well…she cheated on you, don't you want to get back at her somewhat?"
"Not really." Harry said taking a sip out of his glass. "They really need to start serving alcohol for those over the age of 16." He said setting the cup back down with a disgusted look on his face. "Because that's just awful."
"It's pumpkin juice Harry, you've been drinking it since you first came here." Ron said to him.
"Whatever." He said taking another sip of it.
"Harry I swear you're not thinking right." Seamus said. "Ok, Ron pretend you were in Harry's position. If your girlfriend that you've were head over heels in love with left you for some other guy, what would you do?"
"Kill the guy she cheated on me for." Ron simply replied.
"Exactly." Seamus said smiling. "See Harry, he's thinking straight."
"Yeah, well violence isn't always the answer guys, and for goodness sake I'm not gonna kill him." Harry said to both of them.
"It was just a suggestion." Seamus said.
"Yeah, only a suggestion Harry, don't take it personal or anything." Ron said to his best friend.
"You know what would be worse?" Seamus said. "If she left you for a really good friend of yours…oh that would be so priceless."
"Yeah…thanks for that." Harry said to Seamus, now pissed. "…and she didn't."
"How do you know for sure?" Ron asked him.
"Well I don't know anyone of my close friends that like her so I have no need to worry." Harry simply said. "Why can't they serve alcohol again?"
"Because there's younger kids here who most likely drink it and get themselves drunk." Ron said.
"Damn." Harry said. "But I still think they should serve it to those old enough for it…those damn bastards."
"Yeah…you're definitely not yourself." Ron said.
"I know I cannot remember a time I heard Harry swear this much." Seamus said, "Oh, yeah, this would be the first."
"Shut up." Harry said drinking the rest of his pumpkin juice down.
"You should at least eat something then." Seamus said, "It should be good for you."
"I'm not hungry." Harry said now in a harsh voice. "How many times do I have to tell you I've lost my appetite."
"Actually I think its just your girlfriend, you're just to depressed to eat." Seamus said, now receiving a death glare from Harry. "Wow if looks could kill, I'd be dead by now." He said hurt.
"Yeah I'm sure you would have been dead by now." Harry said sarcastically.
"No, if anyone it would be that mudblood girl, Granger." Ron said. "God, she gets on my nerves."
"Yeah, you and everyone else there buddy." Seamus said laughing with Ron joining in. Harry know knew what Hermione was talking about before on the train. That nobody will ever love her. He felt bad for her, now watching his best friends make fun of her. 'She really was alone wasn't she?' he thought to himself.
"Ladies and Gentlemen may I have your attention." Then Headmaster yelled standing up. "If you would all be so kind, it's time to head back to your common rooms. So if seventh year prefects could lead the first years back to there common rooms that would be excellent. As for the sixth year prefects, may you all come up here…everyone else is excused."
"Well see ya, mate." Ron said standing up and leaving.
"Yeah by, have fun." Seamus said then left as well. Harry stood up and walked up to the Headmaster along with the other sixth year prefects.
"Now, you all have a responsibility to do this year as you all know being a prefect is no joke." Dumbledore said. "Miss. Granger and Mr. Potter you may go with Professor McGonnal, as she well show you where your room is." He said giving all the prefects there directions and there head of house to show them where to go. It seemed like they have been walking forever, down an empty hallway as they followed there Professor. They stopped suddenly.
"Miss. Granger, Mr. Potter here is your prefect room, now all you two need to do is come up with a password and you may then get settled." She told them both. "If you need anything or have any questions…my door is always open." She said then left.
"Alright, so a password…what do you want it to be?" Harry said to Hermione.
"It doesn't matter just don't make it something stupid like quidditch or something." She said.
"Alright how about Snitch?" he suggested.
"Sounds fine."
"Alright then, Snitch it is." Harry said to the portrait.
"Very well." The lady said swinging the painting forward so they could both walk in. once they were both in the door closed and Hermione stopped in aw.
"Wow…it's so beautiful." She said seeing there house colors blended together like normal but only this was different. The room was enormous, there were two couches in the middle of the room and a chair next to the fireplace. One of the walls had a glass door, which meant there was a balcony. She looked to her right and found a kitchen with the counter tops made out of marble and…
"You act like you never saw a room before." Harry said, cutting her off in mid thought.
"I was just admiring the room was all." Hermione said walking forward and going up a flight of stairs that turned spiral. Once she reached the top she found two doors, one had the name Hermione in gold and the other Harry. She opened her door and walked in. the walls were pink and white mixed. She stood there with a frown on her face. "What to girly for you?" Harry said coming up the stairs.
"No…it's just not a very pretty color of pink." She replied as he came up behind her.
"Yeah…couldn't agree more." Harry said walking in. "It's nice though." He said walking towards the closed door. "Ahha…it looks like we share a bathroom." He said and she came forward.
"What?"
"We share a bathroom." He said again.
"NO…I know what you said I'm not stupid, but why?" she said shocked.
"I don't know." He said then opened the other door and walked in his room. "Ah…now that's more like it." He said seeing dark blue walls. "Looks like I have the better room." He said laughing.
"Shut up." She said walking away. After unpacking her clothes and getting all settled in she went over to her bed and sat down, almost sinking in it because it was so soft. She grabbed a small light sky blue book, unlocked it with a key she wears around her neck and opened it to a new page writing in it.
1 September 2012
Well diary, it's the first day back at Hogwarts and I think this just might be a great year after all. See apparently Harry's girlfriend broke up with his today, so he's now single…finally. I'm so happy. But yeah I know what your thinking, you shouldn't be happy when he's miserable. But you've know I've like him for a long time now and everything…I don't know I just feel safe around him and like nothing could go wrong. But yeah I think he is depressed because at dinner he didn't eat a thing…and that's not like him. I just hope he's okay. Well I just wanted to check in with you and keep you up to date with what's going on in my life. So goodnight.
Hermione.
P.S. Ron Weasley, Harry Potter's best friend almost hit me today on the way to Hogwarts, I just cannot believe it. Oh well, I'm going to bed.
P.S.S. I get to share a bathroom with Harry, oh, my God what if I walk in on him when he's showering…bye.
Hermione closed her diary and locked it, putting it under her bed as Harry walked up to her door, knocking to make his presence noticed. She looked up and saw him standing there. "Can I come in?" he asked her as she sat back up on her bed.
"Sure." She said allowing him to enter her room at night and for him to see her in her pajama's. He walked in coming up to her bed and sat down on the edge of it.
"I was um…just wondering if we could talk?" he asked her.
"Right now?" she asked and he shook his head up and down. "At eleven thirty at night?" he again shook his head up and down. "Harry we have class in the morning."
"I know." He said in a sad voice. "Only for a little while?" he sad with sadness in his eyes.
"Alright, fine but just for a little bit." She said giving in.
"Wow…well I usually never get my way but if your sure?"
"It's fine, trust me I don't mind so much anymore." She said as he mad himself comfortable at the end of her bed.
"Alright…so what do you normally do when your depressed?" he asked her.
"Um…I'm not quite sure." She said laughing a little bit.
"Yeah me neither." Harry said. "My friends say that I have a habit of drinking though."
"Well one, that solves no problems." She told him. "So what really happened between you and Cho? If you don't mind my asking."
"Well basically she broke up with me for another guy. She actually hooked up with him while she was down in Hawaii with her family." He told her.
"Oh…I'm sorry." Hermione said.
"Oh its alright I probably had it coming though." He said.
"You did?"
"Well no…I don't know." He said confused. "What's wrong with me Hermione?"
Wrong with you? There's nothing wrong with you, you're perfect in so many ways, not to mention sexy as hell. "Um…well nothing really." She said causing him to sigh.
"I knew it, even you can't say it to my face." He said.
"No Harry there's nothing wrong with you. You're a great guy really you are. You're smart, funny, down to earth, a gentlemen. If anything I'd say Cho's stupid to break up with you for someone else." Hermione said trying to comfort him, which now seemed to be working.
"Really?" he said. "You really think that about me?"
"Yes."
"Well you're the only one." He said.
"Why don't you tell me a little about yourself, like what you like." Hermione said to him. "Tell me about the Harry inside of you that no one really knows about."
"Why would you want to know about that part of me…usually its just the fame. Every girl just wants me because I'm a Professional Quidditch Player." Harry said. "They don't care what I'm really like or anything so why should you?"
"Well who cares about them." she said. "I'd really like to know the real you. Everybody should be known for who they are on the inside not just for fame or popularity."
Harry sighed then laid on his stomach facing her knowing that she was right. "Well, what would you like to know?" he asked her.
Hermione crawled down to the end of the bed where he was and laid down next to him. "Well, what's your favorite thing to do in the whole wide world?" she asked him.
He smiled, "I love more then anything just spending time with my family and my friends." He told her.
"Wow…I'm surprised no quidditch?" she said to him smiling.
"Yeah well I love the sport but it's not my favorite thing to do." Harry told her, now returning her smile.
"What's your favorite kind of ice cream?"
"Vanilla."
"Mine to." She replied. "Um…do you have a favorite book by any chance?"
"Knew that would come up sometime or another." He said, "Um…I've always liked the kind that are mystery thriller."
"Really?" she said impressed.
"Yes, really." He said back, "I just love those kinds of books because they always ke…"
"Keep you on the edge of your seat." She said cutting him off.
He laughed, "Yeah…and my favorite book is A Madman's Tale."
"Oh, my God, I love that book." She said really fast. They both ended up laughing.
"Yeah it's pretty good." He said, "What's your favorite kind of cake?"
"Um…well you may find this crazy because most people that love vanilla ice cream love vanilla cake, well I'm completely different. My favorite kind of cake is chocolate with double chocolate chips in it with chocolate frosting and more chocolate chips on top." She replied.
"Wow…that does sound good." He said.
"It is, it's amazing you'll have to try it sometime."
"Maybe I will." He said back looking in her eyes.
When morning came Hermione woke up at the end of her bed with the sun hitting her face. She closed her eyes then opened them again, squinting as the blurry objects came into focus. She rolled over and came face to face with Harry potter. Right when she turned towards him, he wrapped his arms around her as pushed her closer to him. Hermione's eyes widened as he did this, she was never this close to Harry before, and she actually kind of liked it. He then opened his eyes, seeing Hermione looking at him. He let go of her then sat up. "Um…" he started to say then stopped.
"We must of fallen asleep last night." She said getting up off of then bed.
"Yeah, sorry about that." He said, "I knew it was late and everything but…"
"It's fine Harry, really don't worry about it." She said cutting him off.
"No what I was going to say is thanks." He said. "I actually feel one hundred times better today, and I thank you."
"Anytime." She said as he got up. "You can have the bathroom first if you want?"
"No, you go first." He said.
"Ok." She said then he walked through the bathroom and into his room closing the door behind him. She grabbed her things and went in the bathroom and took her shower. When she was done she dried off and wrapped the towel around her. Just when she was about to walk back into her room Harry's door opened and he came in wearing nothing but his boxers. She turned around and looked at him, they both had a shocked look on there face.
"Oh…sorry…I thought…you were done." He said then turned around. "Just tell me when you left." He said then soon heard her reply.
"Ok, I'm out." She said then shut her door leaning against it. 'Oh, my God he has the sexiest body I've ever seen.' She thought to herself. Harry turned back around, taking off his boxers and getting in the shower. About five minutes later he was done and left the bathroom. Hermione was on her way out when Harry came down the stairs calling her name. She turned around and looked at him. He had his hair spiky today. "Yeah?" she managed to say.
"Um…I'm sorry about earlier I didn't mean to just walk in on you like that." He said.
"It's fine…I'm sure it was bound to happen to one of us eventually this year." She said as the door opened, they both walked out and then it closed. "Let's just pretend it never happened ok?"
"Yeah that would be great." Harry said. "Listen I'll catch up with you later, I'm starving so I'm gonna go."
"Ok." She said and Harry turned around and started walking towards the Great Hall for breakfast.
(In the Great Hall)
"Hey, your lookin good today…what happened?" Seamus said as Harry sat down.
"Nothing, I just realized that there are better girls out there then Cho." Harry said filling his plate with food.
"Yeah right, and I'm glade to see your appetite's back." Ron said to him as Harry started shoving his mouth full with food.
"Yeah, wonder if he was drinking last night?" Seamus said to Ron.
"No he doesn't act like this after he's been drinking, usually he's all forgetful and what not." Ron said back. "So Harry what happened last night?"
"I just came to my senses and realized she wasn't worth making me like how I was yesterday…and I maybe um…had a talk with Hermione Granger." Harry said taking a bite of his toast.
"What?" Ron said. "Her…Hermione Granger of all people…you went to her?"
"Yeah, well she was, like in the other room and it was about eleven thirty at night and everything and I really didn't want to get up and walk all the way down to the Gryffindor Tower." Harry said, and then saw Hermione sit down about five feet away. Ron and Seamus looked over at her.
"Do you mind Granger?" Ron said down the table at her.
"What?" she said looking over at him. "Oh…it's you. What do you want now Ronald?"
"My name is Ron, and anyways can you go sit somewhere else? Were trying to have a conversation here?" Ron said.
"Um…yeah, like I care?" Hermione said. "Anyways it's a free country, I can sit where ever I want to." She said then looked away.
"Fine just no eavesdropping." Seamus said beating Ron to it.
"Eavesdropping?" she said looking at them. "Yeah well I can kind of hear you loud and clear from over here. So if you want to have a conversation without it being heard, then go somewhere else."
"Guys just drop it, let her stay there." Harry said rubbing his temples. "Besides your giving me a head ache." He said then got up, "Were going to be late for class. We should go."
"Yeah I guess your right." Ron said, then stood up alone with Seamus and the three of them left for class. "What not going to class I see miss no-it-all?"
"I have a free period first." She replied.
"Wait so your not going to be in potions with us anymore?" Ron said and Harry hit him in the back of the head. "Ouch."
"No, I'm in advanced potions this year." She said trying not to laugh.
"This is going to be a wonderful year, I can see it now." Ron said walking away followed by Seamus. "Why does Ron have to be such a skeez?" she asked Harry making him laugh.
"Don't know, but I better get going." He said.
"Bye."
"Bye Hermione." He said then went to catch up with his friends. She didn't realize it but a certain black haired girl was watching them, then got up and went over to Hermione and sat down next to her. "So, you like Harry, Hugh?" the voice of Cho Chang said. Hermione looked at her.
"What?" she said back.
"You like Harry." Cho said.
"No…no I don't." Hermione lied.
"Whatever…just let me tell you something about him before you even consider dating him." Cho said. "Harry's mind and you cant have him got it."
"I thought you broke up with him for someone else?" Hermione said.
"I did, and I couldn't have made a better choice in my whole life." Cho said proud of herself.
"So…why cant anyone else date him?" Hermione asked her.
"Because I said so." She said back to her really fast.
"Listen nothing personal, but Harry would never in a billion years be interested in a girl like you." Cho said. "So why don't you quite dreaming and move on with your life." She said then got up and left.
"Yeah, right." Hermione whispered to herself, opening up a book and starting to read it.
A/N: Ok, you have to tell me if you liked it or not? So R&R and give me good feed back.
Harry's parents aren't dead they are alive, I thought I'd throw that in. Harry, Ron and Hermione aren't best friends either as you can tell Ron and Hermione hate each other with a passion.
Questions:
What do you want to happen next?
Should I have Harry find out who's Cho's boyfriend is in the next chapter?
When do you want Harry and Hermione to get together?
Who do you want Draco to date?
