Ginny opened the window as she saw Pigwideon flying towards it. She smiled as he dropped a handfull of letters onto her lap. Running into the kitchen as everyone sat down for breakfast she called out.

" Mum...Mum...These are the Hogwarts letters and we have Harry's too."

Harry looked up from his bowl of cereal and nodded as his mouth was full.

" Oi...giv mee that Ginny " mumbled Ron his mouth full also and he sent pieces of cereal across to Hermione.

" Oh Ron " cried Hermione in disgust as she wiped away milk and cereal of her robes. She ran her wand down them and they appeared good as new.

Ron smiled. " See no problem."

Harry opened his letter. " Quidditch Captain " he said. And...no...cant be..."

" Head boy " shrieked Ron. " Jesus Harry...they are trying to turn you into Percy."

Hermione scowled.

" Ahh " said Ron. Blushing as he saw Hermione's letter and head girl badge. " Well done Hermione. I never doubted you."

Mrs Weasley smiled at them both. " Well you two must be very proud. Especially you Harry. Your Dad was head boy in our seventh year. Looks like you're carrying on tradition. As for you Ronald Weasley. From all your teasing and moaning. What do you have to show for yourself?"

" Prefect " he muttered.

She frowned. " Well you better be a good one ...from what Ginny told me...you seemed to pick on some first years last year."

" I did not " cried Ron. " They were small...and in my way...I just asked them to move...and I only called them migets because...well they are migets..."

Harry laughed. " They are pretty small."

" Harry " said Hermione reproachfully.

" Good on you Harry " said Ron. " See Mum...Harry thinks they are migets too."

Mrs Weasley smiled. " Well you were once small to Ron ...well we better head to Diagon Alley with your list Ginny. You kids have your things dont you?"

They all nodded.

" Ah Mrs Weasley. May I come with you " asked Hermione. " I need some more things."

" Sure Hermione. Harry you can come too."

" No " said Hermione. " I need to...it's..."

" Sure Harry doesnt mind coming with us girls...do you Harry?

Harry shook his head but noticed how Hermione did not seem pleased.

" Maybe I'll just stay with Ron."

" Nonsence Harry. Ron has to help Arthur clear out the attic today...we should just give them some space...No you can go with Hermione."

Hermione sighed and grabbed some flu powder. Harry followed at a safe distance.
