AN: wow guys I'm really sorry.. I know it's been a long time but please forgive me! I'm actually having to work to keep my 4.0 GPA this year and my AP classes are killing me. Anywho, im just now getting back into writing so be nice please… I'm also sorry to say I have no more time for baked goods but if you review I offer you all of the love in my heart!

OH and this is not a sequel to my other story just to let you guys know! It goes along with book 6.

The summer went by quickly and before Harry knew it, four owls were soaring through the window or the Burrow. Hermione dropped what she was holding. "ohmigosh ohmigosh." She whispered in a scared voice. She tentatively reached out and grabbed the envelope. Carefully slitting the seal, she looked inside and burst into tears. " I'm head girl!" she yelled.

Oh course they had all been expecting this, but they acted excited all the same. What Harry hadn't been expecting was a large gold pin with 'HB' for him. "I'm head boy?" he exclaimed. The room got quiet. "That's- great Harry!" Hermione said.

"But Dumbledore said that kind of thing might be too much for me to handle-." Then he remembered. It wasn't Dumbledore making the decisions anymore. Hermione and Ron looked at him with sad looks on their faces, also realizing what he had said.

"No matter." Ron said, breaking the silence. "Just wait until mom hears about it."

5 minutes later

Harry couldn't breathe. He began gasping for air and trying to wiggle his way out of Mrs. Weasley's death grip.

"Oh Harry Dear, I'm SO proud, I just can't believe it. See? It is worth going back for your education!" Mrs. Weasley said through small sobs.

Soon, Harry found himself waiting in line in Flourish and Blotts to buy his schoolbooks. Ron and Hermione were with them, as they had been able to apparate, but Ginny was going to be there a little later with the rest of the family.

When they finally exited the store, Hermione spoke up. "We're going to need to buy some new dress robes. This year, in hope of lifting spirits, we are going to be having more dances and social events." Ron's ears turned slightly red. Whether it was because he didn't have enough money to buy proper dress robes or the thought of having to ask Hermione, Harry didn't know.

Ron and Harry both found robes that they found acceptable (Harry assisted Ron with the expense), and Hermione also approved, but she wouldn't show the boys which ones she chose.

"Why do they always do that?" Ron whispered to Harry. Hermione obviously heard and swung her shopping bag at his head.

On their way out of the shop, they saw Ginny; with Dean. Jealousy bubbled up in Harry's chest and he fought to keep his eyes to the ground. Unfortunately, with his eyes glued to the floor, he didn't see where he was going and walked right into Dean.

"Oi- Harry watch it mate." Dean said loudly. Harry glared at him and walked quickly out of the shop so he could get away from the couple.

Hermione soon followed him out and, sensing his mood, asked if he wanted to go to the quidditch shop. Harry almost laughed at how well she knew him, but then thought of Dean and his spirits fell again.

"No thanks, I think I'll just go home." Harry freely referred to the Burrow as home, and Ron smiled slightly as this. Harry disappeared with a 'pop' and the others shortly followed suit.

The remainder of the summer passed quickly enough for Harry, and he barely spoke a word to Ginny.

The journey to platform 9 ¾ was unusually uneventful, but when Harry actually boarded the train, he found it stranger than ever. He had to lead the prefect's meeting with Hermione, and felt rather awkward. Luckily, Hermione was in control and he didn't have to talk much.

When the meeting was over, he began to try to find a compartment with someone he knew inside it. He saw red hair though one of the glass panes and opened the door, only to find Ginny with Dean, yet again, his arm around her shoulders.
