Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter! That is the genious JK Rowling who I bow down to saying "We're not worthy, We're not worthy!". I do however own the idea of Havenry and the character Annie.

Author's Note: Hey Guys, I'm going to speed through some stuff. I just want to get this up. I hope you all are liking it. If you are thinking when reading this, boy aren't Annie and Harry going a bit fast...? Well yes and no. I'm skipping the rest of summer. But i'll summarize it all. I'm also going to skip finding the first Horcrux, because I have no ideas on how to write that particular one. But as to what's coming up soon in the story, here's some hints, there will be a trainwreck (not literally), a battle of well... not wits but a battle none-the-less..., and the truth about finding love... Okay that last one was cheesy but whatever. I also just saw Order of the Phoenix and am throughly convinced in RonHermione ship now. Okay in real life, not too cute together, in the movie gorgeous couple. I loved it, I was crying because it was so good! Btw, if you want to avoid the crowds go at like the 10:15am or 11am shows. No one's there really. Supposedly you can't post lyrics on fanfic, so the Song is Fidelity by Regina Spektor

Harry Potter: Arms of the Angel

Chapter 3: It Breaks My Heart...

September 1st:

"Be good, stay safe," Mrs. Weasley hugged Harry harder than she ever had before, which Harry didn't think to be humanly possible. The sound of the steam engine roared as students made their way aboard, about to endeavour another year at Hogwarts. Fred and George had also come to see them off.
"I swear, Hogwarts phenomenon... First years just keep getting smaller and smaller." Fred said making a squeezing gesture with two fingers.

"I hate to say it, but I agree with you one hundred percent..." Hermione winced and stepped on the train. And with that Fred, blushed for the first time in the seven years Harry knew him. Which made Harry laugh a bit on the inside.

The Hogwarts Express, was as always packed with students, who were trying desperately to find a seat. Harry and Annie avoided eachother as much as possible, they had started well hmmm what's the word? A fling isn't quite right... They started something over the summer and felt no need to publicize it quite yet. It had truly been a taxing summer, having found one of the three horcruxes left to destroy; and sneaking around the Burrow with Annie, trying to not be seen in their snog sessions... And now to the reason Harry, Ron and Hermione are returning to Hogwarts, and with Annie in tow.

McGonagall had felt need, for a little more protection at Hogwarts. Yes they had Aurors, and yes Hogwarts had defensive charms and spells casted around the grounds. But with Dumbledore gone, Minerva was afraid that Voldemort would no longer fear coming near Hogwarts. So having someone who could cast a shielding charm to cover at least fifty people could come in handy right? Annie would pose as a transfer student and blend in as much as possible... that was the plan that Annie, very reluctantly, agreed to.

As for Harry, Hermione, and Ron; McGonagall thought they should finish their last year at Hogwarts. "It's a shame to waste six years of magical education I had to painstackingly beat into your brain..." as she put it. And of course, the trio was too terrified of McGonagall to reject her wishes.

All the compartments were full, so they had to split up. Hermione and Annie taking a compartment with Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil... malcontently of course. And Harry and Ron sitting with Neville and Luna. Both compartments shutting their doors...

"So Hermione, are you going to introduce us to your friend" was said in one compartment, while in the other "I spent the summer hunting Bogeywongers of the Deep, how about you?"

"Muffiliato," Annie muttered under her breath,

"Annie! Where'd you learn that from?"

"Found it written in a journal in the attic at my house," Annie said without any shame... Hermione just then realized Annie probably had the same knack for trouble that Harry, Ron and Hermione had.

"Well normally I would disapprove of that dark spell but, since you used it on the Gossip Gaggle over here, I'll bow down and say thank you, thank you." Hermione giggled while making a bowing gesture. It was nice how fast the two girls had become friends, considering Ginny didn't really hang around Hermione since Hermione hung out with Harry...

"Anyways, I was wondering if you would be so kind to help me create my 'backstory'... I mean people are going to wonder why a new girl is suddenly popping up. And seeing as I'm a super secret under cover agent..." (joking about the last part) "I'm going to need an alias... right?"

Hermione nodded half smiling at Annie's way of begging for help, "Hmmmmm... well I don't know if I have time in my busy day to help such a minor cause" she said sarcastically, and with that they got down to business...

"I heard she's from Durmstrang, supposedly Krum's cousin?"

"Krum's cousin? Wait I thought they didn't let girls into Durmstrang..."

"Only the really good ones."

"I think she's part Veela..."

Were all converstaions that could be heard in in the Halls of Hogwarts during the early days of September.

"It's madness really, today in the bathroom I overheard that I'm a deatheater from Tawain..." Annie spoke in exasperated hushed tones in the library... and to that Harry, Ron and even Hermione were laughing out loud. Not to mention recieving death glares from Madam Pince.

"Because apparently the skinny five foot girl looks like a death eater... from tawain no less..."

"The things people come up with," Hermione muttered under her breath, as Harry and Annie played footsie under the desk with no one knowing. They still didn't want to tell anyone yet. But all that work of keeping it a secret was blasted to shreds when Annie giggled quite loudly... as Harry apparently hit a weak spot near her ankle... and began to blush.

"What's up with you two,?" Hermione asked as Ron suddenly became very interested in his book.

"Nothing, nothing at all" Annie said, a little to quickly to be convincing in Hermione's opinion. And then, the kiss of death, Harry just had to add the word, "Honest." And the nice game of footsie turned violent as Annie kicked him, quite hard, in the shin.

"Ow..."

"What?!" Hermione asked, she was getting too much pleasure out of seeing them flee from her glances.

"Nothing," Annie said in a sing song voice that clearly stated 'shut up or i'll kill you'

"Hermione just let it go," Ron finally entered the conversation, seeing both his friends faces (he now considered Annie a friend) go even more white than they already were; which was saying something because both Harry and Annie were relatively pale already. The guilty parties shot Ron a look of thanks.

"I demand to know the truth." Hermione put it bluntly... and then more shockingly, Annie said "No..." turned her head up a bit and walked away. The look of shock on Mione's face was well lets just say, priceless enough to make Ron and Harry fall of their chairs laughing, much to the dismay of Madam Pince. And Hermione also left with a "Hmph!"

"Thanks, for that..." Harry said timidly at his friend who was just smiling at him, giving the 'I know what you're hiding look'

"So you're seeing Annie? Hmm..."

"What's with the Hmm...and I'm not seeing Annie"Harry was really quite terrible at lying. To Pure of Heart, was how he liked to put it

"Nothing, nothing at all. Pretty, smart, someone who actually challenges Mione..." Ron said picking at his nails...

October:

October came and went with Quidditch season entering with a bang, without Malfoy games were actually a little more enjoyable. Actually Hogwarts was quite enjoyable... until.

Harry and Annie had been going strong until one blustery evening. Harry, Ron, and Ginny had to leave the Great Hall early due to Quidditch practice, Hermione was in the library leaving Annie alone with Dean Thomas. She got up to exit and was flagged down by Dean,

"You know it's late, want me to walk you back...?"

"Erm..." Man this is awkward, she thought..."Um well it's nice of you to offer, but I'm fine."

"Really I insist..."

"Er, okay I guess." And they left the Great Hall...

"So I uh, don't have a girlfriend..."

"Uh... I"m sorry," What was she supposed to say to the worst pick up line on the planet...? She really should have gone to quidditch practice with Harry.

"You?" Hmm... she thought, what was the word. Harry and Annie really hadn't defined what they were. What was she supposed to do to end the worst conversation in the history of the world? "It's complicated...goodnight De.." and then the worst thinkable thing that could've happened, happened. Dean kissed her, badly too. It was like a disaster slowly starting to form, and just went down hill. Could this guy not get the hint?

"What are you doing?" Annie smacked his head and forced him off of her.

"Yeah I think I'd like to know that too..." Oh Shit. Harry had magcially appeared (no pun intended) at a very bad time. And so began the greatest fight Hogwarts had ever seen. It started with Harry bolting around the corner,

"Harry! Harry!" and Annie chasing after him. It was so cliche' but so true. She ran and ran back to the common room to find Harry halfway to the dormitory steps. "Harry!" Ron was getting his broom and was just about to leave when he was pushed down by Annie, who was running quite hard after Harry. Hermione was reading by the fire and saw the scene unfold.

"What! You want to tell me why you were snogging Dean Thomas?" There were many gasps and Ooooos throughout the room

"It was definitely not snogging! More like having my face sucked off! If you would give me a second to explain you stubborn arse!"

"Oh she just dug herself into a hole there," Ron whispered to Hermione, they were wondering if it would be better to stop the fight or just watch the madness insue...

"Stubborn Arse?"

"Yes! Stubborn Arse! You didn't see me smack his head silly? I was leaving the Great Hall, by myself, and he asks if I want him to walk me back here, I say no! He comes anyways, tells me he doesn't have a girlfriend and kisses me! Without my consent mind you! What are we doing here Harry?"

"First of all I don't think Dean would do that, he's a friend! And what do you mean, "What are we doing?"

"They were dating?" Hermione asked Ron

"Geez Mione, keep up with the times..." Ron smiled, Ron was always the clueless one about things like this. It was nice to be on the other side."Since Summer..."

"How could I not know this?" Hermione was always the emotional thinker, how did she not see the signs. And then it hit her, the library, the evasive smiles in the hall, the blushing. "I really don't think Annie would hurt Harry..."

"SHHHH!" A bunch of Gryffindors went, even, surprisingly,the boys.

"Sorry..."

"I mean what are we doing? Are we dating? Are we friends? Are we friends that kiss? Really Harry, what are we?"

"Nothing, nothing at all..." Harry replied cooly

"Bad Answer Harry," Hermione said to herself through gritted teeth.

"You are the most stubborn, strongwilled, idiot I have ever met, and I love you! Except your too blind to see that." Annie stormed up to her dorm, quite loudly, Ron wondered how such a little person could make so much noise when they walked?

Harry was halfway to his dorm as was she when he turned and said, "You know what, you just lost me."

This was the straw that broke the cammels back. The iceburg that hit Titanic. The one thing that insued all rage.

"Well you can't lose something you never had. Levicorpus!" She cried, and Harry was lifted upside down hanging by his shoe. And then he realized, she did that without a wand. Annie stormed up the stairs and gave the world the loudest, most painful, destructive door slam known to the history of man. Legend says those within a mile had a prominent ringing in their ears for a week, I don't buy it though.

(In the girls dorm)

Annie curled her head to her knees and just cried. Not aware that one of her shields went up around herself, red for anger.

"LEAVE!," Ginny shouted at the girls who came to gawk at Annie in the dorm. Ginny got as close to her as she could and tried to soothe her a bit. That was the night Annie and Ginny became friends.

He tried to get himself down, but no matter how hard he budged, he just couldn't get down... "A little help here!" He shouted in a voice more angry than he had intended. And then something odd happened, all the Gryffindors present in the common room, ignored him and went to their dormitories. Finally Ron let him down, but not gently and stormed off to his dorm. Hermione made sure Harry was okay, but then stormed off giving the patented "Hermione Glare" the entire way.

All the Gryffindors, sided with Annie. The new girl, not Harry, but Annie. Where was that freakin Lion Loyalty when you needed it? He was avoided by all the next day, and for about a month after. The whole school knew about what was being called the worst public fight in Hogwarts History, which was an exaggeration, but it was Hogwarts, nothing was ordinary even if it was.

Hermione and Ron said they wouldn't talk to him until he made things right. They saw something between Harry and Annie that they didn't see themselves. Ron and Hermione saw the spark, but Harry and Annie were just to stubborn to see it. He really had been an ass. A big giant git. Annie was the only person who ever challenged him like that, the only person not afraid to tell Harry the blatant truth. And for that he felt maybe she really did love him. And maybe just maybe he really did love her.

November:

Friday November 7th,

The begining of November was really just as bad as October. No communication between Harry and Annie, just glares. Very hurtful glares... Ron had begun speaking with him, figuring the battle of the glares would never end. Until one morning, there was slight communication between both camps. Annie left Hermione and Ginny in the Great Hall just before the mail came.

A parcel adressed to Hermione, Ron, and Ginny fell onto Harry's plate.

To Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny:

Order meeting, at the (a pic of three broomsticks) you know when, you know what time. Important information is going to be discussed, thought you should know.

Blue

PS: You might want to bring Luna

The Parcel also had four pairs of Weasleys Extendable Ears and a small view finder that would fit through a hole in a wall or floor and then you look through the top.

"Hermione, Ginny.." Harry called down the table through gritted teeth, they still weren't talking to each other. Hermione and Ginny looked just as pissed as Harry was as they walked towards him.

"Here," He gave the letter to them, while they read they both looked a little confused.

"Blue who's Blue?" Hermione placed the note down in front of Harry and sat down on the other side of the table, Ginny followed suit.

"It was Harry's nickname for Annie when they were dating, she always wears blue..." Ron grunted as Harry elbowed him in the stomach "Ow!"

"You know when, you know what time... hmmmm" Hermione said squinting at the letter

"Could it be any more vague?" Ron asked snapping the note from Hermione

"No Ronald" She snatched the note back, "It couldn't be more clear, when did the Order always meet when we were at Grimmauld Place, always..."

"Thurdays at Seven..." Harry muttered

"Well I for one think we should go, Annie doesn't seem like a rule breaker so it must be really important." Ginny stated matter-of-factly, adding in her two sense.

"I agree with Ginny," Hermione said

"Me too," Ron stated clearly

"Fine, we'll meet in the entrance hall at Six o'clock, bring Luna." Harry said, And with that Ginny and Hermione were gone.

"You okay mate?" Ron asked Harry, who was stabbing his mashed potatoes quite violently

"No,"

"You wanna talk about it?"

"No,"

"Alright," Ron said and after a long uncomfertable silence "You miss her don't you?"

"Yup..."

"You know what you have to do?"

"Yup..."

"Alright then." Ron smiled and left the Great Hall.

In the common room:

"I have news!" Ron plopped next to Hermione

"Than work for a newspaper, I'm reading." Hermione said not taking her eyes from her book.

"I have news," Ron huffed

"We've been here before,"

"I have news,"

"Spit-it-out!" Hermione said hitting Ron upside the head.

"Harry's going to apologize to Annie," He paused dramatically for shock value.

"No!"

"Yes!

"No!"

"No...?" Ron said to throw Hermione

"No?"

"Yes!"

"So yes!"

"Yes!"

"Well good for Harry, did he say when he was going to begin the groveling process?" Hermione huffed with a smile on her face...

"Well, not exactly..." Ron twiddled his thumbs...

"Not exactly! I swear, if those two are not back together in one week, we're locking them in the closet and they're not coming out!"

Ron and Hermione shook on it and parted ways.

The Next Thursday 5:59 ish:

"Hello Ron," Annie plopped in an armchair by the blazing Gryffindor fire.

"Oh hey Annie,"Ron sighed, twiddling his thumbs again

"Alright, what's wrong...?" Ron was clearly worried about something.

"Can I ask you a question?" Ron said quite vaguely and met her gaze

"Sure..." Annie spoke a little unsure...

"How's my hair?" Ron looked back down to twiddling his thumbs

"What?"

"Don't make me ask again..."

"It's good Ron..."

"Really?"He brought his head back up.

"Oh yeah, you've got nice hair."

"Thanks,"

"Just for you know, curiosities sake, why pray tell are you asking me about your hair...?"

"Imaypobilybeinluvmione..."

"Hmm didn't quite catch that?"

"I may possibly be in love with Hermione..."

"Oh!" (long pause)... "What does that have to do with you hair?"

"I wanted a girls opinion... on my hair. And I can't ask Mione for obvious reasons and..."

"Ginny would never let you forget it." Annie said now trying not to laugh, "Ron,"

"Yes,"

"May I give you a bit of advice?" She waited for his head to nod, "Be yourself. You are one of the greatest guys... no you my friend are one of the greatest men I know. You're kind and sweet, smart, funny... just, just be yourself. Hermione likes you for you. Not your hair, but you. Okay?"

"Alright... hey Annie..?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks,"

"Your welcome, oh crap... I'm late, gotta run. Bye Ron!" She said running halfway out the portrait hole.

Ron looked down at his watch and just started running, he was late aswell.

The Order of the Phoenix Meeting is next! Funny stuff is coming, review to keep me going!
