It had been a couple of weeks before they found out that Dobby was the one who fixed up the house for them He also let them in on the secret that Kreacher had gone and killed himself. They had adjusted to life there and settled into a healthy mode. Though the order came over sometimes and they had to stop some of the activities that were doing such as kissing on the couch, or more intense things upstairs. They were very careful and became experts at learning how to avoid them.

Harry woke up first and saw Hedwig with two letters in her beak.

"What've you got there in your beak huh?" He fed her some owl treats and some water and moved her to her post.

"Hermione." Harry said shaking her awake.

"What is it?" Hermione asked.

"Our Hogwarts letters are here!" Harry said.

She grabbed hers out of his hands and ran her fingers over the seal and began reading it:

Dear Ms.Granger,

For the upcoming school year me and the committee of other Hogwarts teachers have decided that you are the new Head Girl of the school this year. We also recommend that you get all of your school supplies now and be at Platform 9 ¾ at around 8:30 in the morning to run security procedures. Here is your class list of books needed:

Fighting the Fearable by -Defense Against the Dark Arts

Figuring the Facts by -Arithmancy

Standard Grade Book of Spells-Transfiguration

Charming Items-Charms

Harry's letter was very similar except for the fact that it had his name and that it also included that he was Quidditch captain.

"What'd your letter say?" Hermione asked.

"I got Quidditch Captain and Head Boy."

"Hey I got Head Girl."

"That's great I knew you would, and the best part is we'll have our own common room so we won't have to worry about sneaking around in the middle of the night."

"Yeah that's a big bonus." Hermione stated.

They got dressed and flooed into the middle of Flourish and Blotts.

"Harry I still have my ring on." She whispered frantically.

"Well hurry up and slip them off and give them to me."

She slipped them off her fingers and discretely slipped it into his jeans pocket.

"Okay where do we go now?" Hermione asked her fingers absently tracing where her rings were a few seconds ago.

"We go exchange the money that your parents gave us!"

"How much did they give us."

"4000 pounds."

"4000 pounds." Hermione shouted. Everyone turned to stare at her but she just ignored them and continued, "Isn't that a lot of money to give us."

They walked into Gringotts and Harry and Hermione walked over to Griphook.

"Hello Griphook." Hermione started

"Hello Mrs—"

"Shhhh." Harry and Hermione started covering his mouth and dragging him of to talk.

"Talk. How did you know?" Hermione asked desperately.

"I'm one of the elves that handles all legal documents and naturally I got yours now unhand me. Wizard kind are so disrespectful these days. Thinking they can just grab someone when they like to."

"Can you just exchange this money please and don't mention this to anyone." Harry pleaded ready to go and get everything that they needed. Griphook went to the front desk and changed the 4000 pounds into 4000 galleons and got a big hand bag to carry it all.

They exited Gringotts and got all the books that they needed. Letting out some of the considerable weight of the bag.

"Where to now?" Harry asked.

"Well thankfully we don't need to go back to Madam Malkin's I stopped growing a long time ago and you thankfully stopped."

"Why I like my height."

"Yeah but your like 5'10 and I'm 5'4 so it's a great difference and I feel so short next to you and Ron."

"Well then to make you feel better I'm happy I stopped getting taller too."

"Now where to?" Hermione aske.

"Food for Hedwig and Crookshanks, and then food for us, and then back to Grimmauld Place."

Once they had completed all of these tasks they had set too they returned to Grimmauld Place. Harry placed the key in the hole and opened the door dragging their bags into the hall. They hadn't realized though that they had walked into a full fledged Order meeting. They closed the door rather loudly and started to climb the stairs.

"What are you staring at us for?" Hermione asked.

"What are you doing here? You can't be here this is a secret meeting." Lupin spoke up.

"Well we just got our school supplies and were heading upstairs. As for your 'secret' Order meeting, it's not really a secret since we know about it." Hermione stated.

"You have to leave." Lupin said speaking for the whole Order as they nodded their heads.

"You can't force us to leave here." Hermione said. "This Harry's house and he has every right to stay here if he damn well pleases. It's true, his only obligation to you is to give you a place to hold your meetings and since your old leader Dumbeldore is no longer in control of it he really doesn't even have to do that so just be grateful."

With that she picked up her stuff and dumped it into her room. She reached into Harry's back pocket and picked up her two rings

"What are you doing Mione."

"Getting my rings."

"Really I can think of something better to do."

Harry knocked her down on the bed gently and kissed her working on the buttons to her shirt.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

After a few weeks and many more night and morning sessions like the previous ones they were prepared to go back to school.

"Harry you've seen my…" Harry passed her the hair clip and she stuffed it in her bag. She looked around feeling she was missing something important and decided that Harry might know where it was.

"Harry have you…" Harry handed her the book Hogwarts A History.

"What did you need it for anyway?" Harry asked.

"Besides it being my all time favorite book you should know by now that it holds the key to Hogwarts…and the answers to our Head positions."

"Really and why didn't you tell me this?" Harry asked.

"Because I would rather you figure out something for yourself for once!"

"Well I will if you pass me that book."

"Here."

He started reading it looking for an index on Heads and found all the information that he needed. He discovered that it was kind of interesting and continued.

"Harry stop we need to go now!"

"Why?"

"It's time."

"Time for what, we're not supposed to be there until 8:30. Right now it's 7:00…wait 7:00 then why the hell did you wake me up at 5:00."

"We need to go to Lu's."

"Lu…is there something I should know about." Harry asked quirking an eyebrow.

"Just come on and hurry up." She said dragging him down the stairs with their bags along the way.

"Ow…that hurts I'm coming just stop pulling me." Harry pleaded.

Hermione pulled him down the street and not bothering to take notice summoned the Knight Bus and even got Stan to hurry it up. They got off after paying him the money and Hermione dragged him into a district of a city and pulled him into an alley. Harry looked at her strangely and she took no notice as she was rapping on the back doorway.

"Who is it?" A voice said.

"Lu it's Hermione."

"Prove it."

"Do you know how to shoot an otter out the sky?" Hermione asked.

"Hey Hermione." The guy opened the door up a little more and tried talking to her.

"So what's been up."

"Lu you know what's been up now hand over the goods."

"What are you talking about?" Lu asked being dumb about it.

"Damn it Lu you know what goods I'm talking about we go through this every year. I know you're the best and your family but I want the goods twice the usual size okay."

"Okay here twice the size usual size but don't tell anyone you got them here okay. I've already gotten caught and can't afford the trouble." He handed her the package.

Harry watched this transaction and this didn't sound right it didn't sound clean. He couldn't imagine what Hermione was doing right now but he had a feeling that she shouldn't be.

"Thanks Lu. See you around this time next year…or sooner."

He shut the door with a loud clap and continued to look at her as he walked behind her trying to catch up it was now 8:00 they had to be at the Hogwarts Express soon. So he just walked behind her. Then he got the urge that he just had to ask.

"Hermione you know I love you right and there's no need to be doing things that would harm you like, smoke, or do drugs." Hermione laughed and Harry just thought she was insane.

"You…thought that I was getting drugs. That I was doing drugs…Harry I thought you knew me… I was getting my fix of…Chinese." She said holding his face in her hands and stroking it.

"Chinese? You were out getting Chinese. You dragged me out of bed two hours early to get some Chinese food. This is what I was so worried about you could have left me at home and came and got it and let me sleep. Gosh do I need sleep right about now."

"Sorry thought you knew." Hermione said smiling slightly.

"You thought…you thought I knew." Said Harry disbelievingly.

"Well come on we have to get to the train station."

A/N: Hey this was a cool chapter for me to write. I hoped that you liked it especially the last part. I already got the next chapter ready to post just about. Just say when and I'll try to post it ASAP.
