I'm sorry about the late update, I got addicted to my Xbox 360!
Anyway, here's the next chapter for you guys, enjoy!
Read and review!
I'm always too late.
I see the train leaving.
I'm always laughing.
When it's not cool to smile.
I'm always aiming.
But somehow keep missing.
So how did you get here.
Something is wrong.
Where did I go right.
How did I get you.
How come all this blue sky is around me.
And you found me.
Where did I go right.
How did I get you.
I don't know how I did.
But somehow now I do.
I'm always driving.
Forget where I'm going.
Should have turned left.
But I was singing some song.
And I, I am arriving.
As everyone's leaving.
But there you are waiting.
Something is wrong.
Where did I go right.
How did I get you.
How come all this blue sky is around me.
And you found me.
Where did I go right.
How did I get you.
I don't know how I did.
But somehow now I do.
Makes no sense to me.
No it isn't clear.
But somehow you're standing here.
Something gets to me.
It's that nothing is wrong.
Where did I go right.
How did I get you.
How come all this blue sky is around me.
And you found me.
Where did I go right.
How did I get you.
I don't know how I did.
But somehow now I do.
Where did I go right.
How did I get you.
How come all this blue sky is around me.
And you found me.
Where did I go right.
How did I get you.
I don't know how I did.
But somehow now I do.

Harry's Summer Holiday
Chapter Five - First Day of Freedom
'Where... where am I?' Harry thought, as he slowly opened his eyes. Then he realized, he was in the guest room at Hermione's house. He was staying there for the rest of the summer.
Harry rushed into the shower, got dressed into a white t-shirt with black trousers. And he headed downstairs, to see what the Granger's were up to.
He trudged into the dining room, in a half-a-sleep manner.
"Good morning Harry, sleep well?" Mrs. Granger asked, as he walked into the kitchen, before taking a seat opposite him on the table.
"I slept well, thank you, Mrs. Granger." Harry answered immediately.
"Good to hear, Harry. Oh, and by the way, I'd prefer it, if you called me Robin, not Mrs. Granger, it makes me feel much older, than I already am." Robin suggested.
"Is Hermione up yet? She used to be always awake before the rest of us, back at Hogwarts." Harry asked, in a politeful manner.
"Yeah, she's up alright. And making breakfast aswell! She never usually does that, I've been kicked out of the kitchen, too. It's nothing bad, she needs to learn, seeing as she's going to be on her own soon. It could be to impress you, Harry." Robin explained.
"Oh, Mrs... Robin, I can assure you she'll never be on her own, me and Ron will always be there to support her. And, what do you mean by 'impress me?', why would she want to do that? I don't understand..." Harry started, before being interrupted by Hermione, who somewhat, skipped into the room.
"Breakfast is ready, Mum. Oh, hello Harry. Sleep well? Anything particular you want to do today?" Hermione said, in an over-cheerful tone.
"G'morning, 'Mione. I slept very well, thanks. Actually, much better than I have in ages! Erm, I dunno, want to show me around town today? I have no idea, you choose!" Harry said, getting all confused.
"Good to hear you slept well. And Harry, you're our guest. You get to choose, it would seem very selfish of me. Choose... please, for me?"
"Hermione, please. You know I am hopeless at making decisions like that. Um… just show me around the town. That will be a start." Harry replied.
"Okay, hope you like your breakfast." Hermione exclaimed as she skipped out of the room.
After thoroughly enjoying the breakfast Hermione had made, Harry went with Hermione, to explore the town.
As they were walking into town, Harry broke the silence; "What was it like growing up here, Hermione?"
"Err... well, it was like any normal town. I went to school, but since I was considered as a 'bookworm', not many people wanted to be my friends. But, then Hogwarts changed my life completely... for the better, of course. And you and Ron, you made me realise, books aren't everything, you taught me to have fun in life."
"I'm glad we helped, I thought we caused more trouble than anything. Oh! And Hermione, when do you think we'll get letters from Hogwarts? Are you excited to find if you've become Head Girl?"
"You may have caused some trouble, but you helped me none-the-less. You and Ron are my best friends, the best I've ever had in my life. You two were there, when no-one else was. Thanks for being my friend, Harry. And as for Head Girl status, it's been my dream since first year."
"No problem, 'mione. I've gotta thank you too, you've helped me out a lot. Now that we're in the town, what's the main attraction?"
"The main attraction would be the art gallery, it displays lots of paintings from famous and local artists. It's a nice place to relax, maybe we should check it out tomorrow? I want to show you my favourite hiding spot, where I would get away from my parents and neighbours."
"Wherever you go, I don't mind. Lead the way, 'mione." Harry said, as they walked through the streets of the town.
"Just over here, normally I'd blindfold people that I'd take here, but I completely trust you Harry, you can come without."
"Thanks Hermione, I'd never tell anyone your secret hiding place. I'd never betray you like that, trust me."
"I do trust you, Harry." Hermione knew she could trust Harry, even more than Ron. He had always been there for her, and vice versa.
Harry followed Hermione, through the town, through trees and over logs, and finally coming to a peaceful setting near a lake.
"Here we are, Harry."
"This looks really relaxing, I can see why you chose this spot."
"Yeah, I love it here. I came here with my books, did my homework, and read for ages."
"Very relaxing, 'mione. How was your childhood like?"
"Well, it wasn't that eventful... my parents are dentists..."
Hermione explained a lot about her childhood to Harry, while Harry listened intently, very interested. They were too busy chatting, to notice an owl flying down and perching in a tree, near the lake.
"Whoa... that is quite an interesing childhood. It sounds very eventful, mine was dull and horrid."
"Mmhmm..." Hermione mouthed, while nodding.
Squawk!
"Hmm? What was that noise?" Hermione questioned Harry.
"Over there, 'mione. In that tree." Harry answered, pointing to the owl in the tree.
"Is that an owl? With some letters in it's mouth? It is!" Hermione said, getting excited.
"Must be letters from Hogwarts."
The owl, noticing it had been spotted, glided down and placed the letters in Harry's lap, before flying off.
Harry checked who the letters were for, there were two of them, one for Hermione and one for himself.
He handed Hermione hers and opened his own, observing the contents.
Dear Harry,
You have been chosen to stay as Quidditch Captain,
And you have also been chosen to be Head Boy,
Congratulations,
You will be traveling in the Head's Carriage on the train,
If you could arrive half an hour before the train's departure,
Thanks,
Minerva McGonagall,
Headmistress of Hogwarts.
"I don't understand this..."
Meanwhile, Hermione opened hers, and read it's contents.
Dear Hermione,
You have been chosen to be Head Girl,
Congratulations,
You will be traveling in the Head's Carriage on the train,
If you could arrive half an hour before the train's departure,
Thanks,
Minerva McGonagall,
Headmistress of Hogwarts.
"YES! I got Head Girl! I'm so happy about this!" Hermione exclaimed, with a wide smile on her face.
"How did you do, Harry?" Hermione continued.
"I'm confused, I got Quidditch Captain... and... Head Boy..." Harry said, with a confused expression on his face.
"Isn't that good, Harry?" Hermione said, starting to think he didn't want to be Head along with her.
"Of course it is Hermione, just I thought Ron would be the one to get it."
"You deserve it Harry, obviously Professor McGonagall spotted this, and that's why your Head Boy." Hermione explained, trying to knock some sense into him.
"Thanks, Hermione. I'm not upset at all, just slightly confused. It'll take some time to sink in, and get used to. Congratulations, Hermione. I'm glad you made Head Girl."
"Thanks, Harry. We better head back now, my parents will be home in a few hours." Hermione suggested, before standing up and walking towards home, followed by Harry.
When they arrived on the street where Hermione lived, Hermione gasped.
"Oh my god..."
