Chapter 1 - Return to Hogwarts
"I can't believe that you mangage to loose twenty-five points from Gryffindor on the first day, Ron," Hermione said as she twirled the remains of her dinner around her plate. Ron, whose face was stuffed with food, slammed his arm on the table in protest as he swallowed.
"It's not my fault that Snape hates us, is it? And how is it that he see's it fit to blame me for ruining Draco's potion!"
Sienna rolled her eyes at him. "Oh, please. We all know that you were the one who dumped a pile of wormwood into his potion while he wasn't looking." Ron's face turned a bit red as he stared down at his food and ate it in defeat. Hermione gave him a pleased smile then turned to Harry, who had hardly touched his food. "Harry, is something wrong?"
Harry looked up at his friend then back down at his food. "No. I'm just..well..I was just thinking about..I.." Ron cut in. "The man's got girl problems." Sienna and Hermione exchanged glances before looking at Harry. "You do?" Hermione said, a bit excited for him to be getting over Cho Chang so early.
"Already?" Sienna said, her eyebrow raised at him. Ron nodded with satisfaction, since this was one of the few times that he knew something about Harry that the other two didn't. Harry, however, didn't seem so pleased the Ron had let out this secret. There was a few seconds of awkward silence before Sienna broke it.
"Well, out with it. Who is she?"
Harry paused for a second, wondering if he should tell them. From past experience, he knew exactly what was going to happen. Hermione would scold him for liking someone who was so completely wrong from him, while Sienna went on and on about said girl's love life. But they were his best friends, and sooner or later he would have to tell them.
"He had a summer romance with Lavander Brown." But Ron beat him to it.
Both Hermione and Sienna sat, jaws open. "You what? With her? Why?" Sienna's open jaw turned into a frown. Hermione however, didn't say a word.
"I..I don't know. Her cousins live near the Dursley's and well, it just sort of happened." Harry ran a hand through his jet black hair. He obviously didn't want to share the story. Hermione cleared her throat.
"You're not..um, dating her or anything are you?" Ron and Sienna exchanged glances. Since when was Hermione so shy about things like this? Harry shook his head.
"I don't know. That's my problem. I don't want to date her," as he paused, a look of relief came onto Hermione, "but how am I supposed to tell her?"
Sienna shrugged. "Easy. Tell her that you have mixed feelings and what you had during the summer could never work now." Ron scoffed. "Someone's had a lot of practice.."
Sienna shot him a glare, even though her pinks turned a bit red. The truth was, she'd only had a boyfriend once in her life and that was during her first year, so really it wasn't much of anything. As if on cue, Lavander walked up to the table happily and took a seat next to Harry.
"Hey Harry!" She said, sitting a bit closer to him then she should be. Hermione stood up, looking pleased. "Well, I should go study for my herbology test," she said before leaving, a satisfied bounce in her step. There was another awkward silence, until Ron cleared his throat. "Well, Sienna, we should be getting to our um..thing.."
Sienna nodded. "Oh! Right, that thing. Well, see you later Harry, Lavander."
The two stood up and pretty much ran out of the Great Hall, leaving Harry alone with Lavander and his decision.

After being a good distance away from the school, Ron and Sienna collapsed in front of the river. They still had a good half-hour until their next class started. Sienna let out a short laugh. "Looks like Harry's gotten himself into yet another complicated love story."
Ron snorted. "It's not like he doesn't enjoy it," he said, letting his fingers trace over the water. "I mean sure, most of the one's he goes for end badly but it's more then me. I've dated maybe half a girl."
Sienna looked at him. "I barely think Lavander Brown is half a girl."
Ron shrugged and let himself fall back into the grass, his hands behind his head. He and Sienna had never really had many 'personal talks' but he thought he might make the most of this one. "So, Miss Bryne, anyone you happen to be intrested in?"
Sienna didn't look at Ron, but continued to look at the lake. He could've sworn he saw her face turn red. "Ah, no. No one in um..particular." Ron smiled and turned his head toward her.
"Can I guess?"
"No."
"Dean Thomas?"
"Ron, I said no."
"Oliver Wood?"
"Ron."
"Seamus Finnigan?"
"Ron! Seriously, stop it."
Ron stared at her intently as she stared back at him. Her face was obviously frustrated, but he could tell she was hiding something. "It's Harry isn't it."
"What?"
Ron smirked as he sat up again. "You like Harry."
Sienna rolled her eyes and sighed. Telling him she liked Harry was better then the real answer. "Yes Ron, I like Harry," she said in a slightly bored tone. The look on Ron's face was a mix of a sly smirk, and shock.
"Does he know?"
Sienna rolled her eyes at him again. "Of course he doesn't know. And let's keep it that way." Ron shrugged.
"Or we could tell him right now.." he said as he stood up. He was pulled right back down the ground though by Sienna grabbing his arm.
"Ron! Seriously. Don't even think about it." Great, she thought, what have I gotten myself into? Ron looked down at Sienna's hand which was still on his and felt his ears heat up a bit in embarssment.
"Fine, I won't." He said as Sienna moved her arm and stood up. "It would probably just make his ego bigger, anyways." he added silently before standing up.
"Well, let's go find Hermione and see how Harry's talk went." Sienna said as she made her way towards the castle. Ron stood up and followed, his mind filled with a million different things.
