 Chapter 2
The train finally arrived at Hogwarts. Hermione, Harry, and Ron got off and choose a carriage together when Hagrid called Ron.
"Oy! Ron! D'you mind helpin' me wi' the firs' years?"
"Alright Hagrid. See you all up there." Ron said, and left. It was just Harry and Hermione. Harry began to sweat.
"So Harry, how was your summer?" Hermione asked while staring out the carriage window.
"A-alright. How was yours?"
"Well, Ron and I saw alot of each other, naturally. But I missed you Harry. Why didn't you answer any of my owls?"
"Oh....I was busy." Harry lied. But he knew the reason. He had been corresponding alot with Sirius. "With writing to Sirius and all."
"So he's alright then?" Hermione asked, unaware of Harry's growing sense of discomfort.
"Yea." Harry remained silent. Hermione kept shooting him strange looks, but didn't say anything until they were almost there.
"Harry, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Harry answered immediately. Hermione raised her eyebrows.
"Nothing? Good job Harry, but it didn't work." Harry jumped, then looked at her.
"What do you mean?"
"Only that-" Just then the carriage stopped. They had arrived at Hogwarts. Harry leaped out of the car, then helped Hermione out. Muttering a spell, he made her trip, giving him the opportunity to catch her. Man, did she feel wonderful in his arms.
"Harry? You can let go now." Hermione said. Harry jerked himself away from her. "Are you sure you're ok?"
"Positive. Look, there's Ron." Ron came by, waving. He kissed Hermione and the three of them entered Hogwarts.
I'm sorry it's short!
