The trio walked into the great hall for dinner to find Amos Abraxas sitting at the Gryffindor table. He always went to Hogwarts, but he was quiet and no one really noticed him before. Hermione went and sat next to him, Harry and Ron on the other side.

"Hi Hermione" he said, "Ron".

"Hey Amos, this is Harry" Ron said. Harry held out his hand.

"So your Ron's best friends. Awesomeness" he said. Ron didn't really like Amos, and tried to stay away from him whist he was at school. But Hermione seemed to really like him, so Ron just went along with it.

"What's that mark around your neck Ron?" he asked.

"Oh, don't worry about that" Ron said. He couldn't believe that the mark was still there, he thought it had gone.

"Silence!" Dumbledore commanded, "This year we have some guests staying with us. The Dementors are here to keep us safe from Sirius Black. They are not to come near students, nor are you to go near them"

"Hey Potter, I heard you fainted" Draco called over to Harry, "Don't be scared of the Dementor's!" he said snidely.

"Leave us alone Malfoy!" Ron said.

"Sirius Black is dangerous. The safer we keep the school the better" he finished, "We have two new teachers. Professor Remus Lupin; Defense against the Dark Arts and Professor Rubeus Hagrid will have his own class" Everyone cheered at that part. Everybody but the Slytherins.

"Now, enjoy your dinner!" Dumbledore said, the tables flipped and an elaborate feast appeared. Ron started first. Hermione screwed her face up and turned away.

"How can he do that? It's disgusting!" she said to Amos.

"I don't know, but he does that whenever he eats" he said.

"I know" Hermione said. She grabbed some food of her own and started to eat. Sitting across from Ron was to gross, she didn't eat much.

"All of you, back to your common rooms, prefects, lead the first years, good night everyone" Dumbledore said once the feast was over.

They walked into the common room.

"I'm home!" Harry sighed. He was relieved to be back at Hogwarts, it was his home. Ron's house was his second home. The Dursley's was last on his list. He walked up to his dorm and fell onto his bed.

"Congratulations, you just met who Hermione likes more than you" Fred said walking past Ron.

"Your kidding?" Ron said following him.

"No, no I am not" he said.

"Sorry mate" George said. Ron walked into his dorm.

"Harry, you will never guess who Hermione likes" he said.

"Who do I like now Ron?" Hermione said. He had walked into the girls dorm.

"Whoops. Wrong dorm" he said walking out, "Bloody hell".

"Harry, you will never guess what Fred and George just told me" he said.

"What now Ron?" Harry said.

"Hermione" he started, checking if anyone else was in the room, he walked up to Harry.

"Hermione like Amos" Ron finished.

"Are you really that dumb?" Harry said, "It's so obvious".

"You already knew?"

"Ginny told me. And it is obvious".

"Oh" Ron said. There was a knock on the door, it was Ginny.

"Hey Harry, guys, can we talk?" she said, aiming her look at Harry. She seemed tense.

"Do you mean all of us?" Dean asked.

"No, just Harry" she said. He got up and walked out. Seamus and Dean were wolf whistling and being idiots.

"Are you ok?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I will be when Malfoy learns to shut his big gob" he said. She laughed a little bit. He looked her in the eyes and kissed her. She kissed him back.

Hermione lay on the bed, thinking about random things. Amos kept appearing in her head. His tanned, muscular body, his soft sand coloured hair, his blue eyes. She lay there thinking until her eyes fluttered closed and she fell asleep.
