Hermione awoke with a jump. She looked around her and noticed that she was in her room at "The Leaky Cauldron." She looked at Lavender, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed beside her. Hermione smiled and looked at her watch. "8:00 am" Whispered Hermione to herself. "Only 3 hours until the train leaves for Hogwarts." Hermione walked quietly over tot the bathroom, making sure not to wake Lavender.
"Mummy! I want Binky! Binky my bunny Binky!" Cried Lavender in her sleep. She awoke to the sound of the pouring water of the shower.
"I can't believe you still have dreams about Binky…" Said Harry as he walked in.
Lavender smiled sheepishly and washed the tears away. "Well Harry, you know I loved my bunny!"
Harry laughed. "Hermione in the shower?" He asked walking towards the bathroom.
Lavender reached for Harry and stopped him. "Don't you dare go in their mister."
Harry blushed. "Just a peak?" He asked sweetly.
"Harry no!" Lavender yelled standing infront of Harry. "You perv…" She whispered.
Harry laughed and twirled Lavender in the air and crash-landed her on the bed. The two lay there laughing, as Ron opened the door to the room.
"You know if I weren't such a trusting boyfriend I would think something is going on." Ron said as he sat down on Hermione's bed.
"But something is going on." Said Harry as he winked at Lavender and blew her a kiss. "I'm off to take a shower…"
"I'll be right there!" Said Lavender following Harry until the door where she closed it behind him.
She went back to Ron where she enveloped him in a kiss.
"You know you two had me going there for a second." Said Ron.
"That's because we're great actors." Said Lavender before kissing Ron again.

Once everyone had taken a shower and had gotten breakfast, Hermione, Lavender, Ron, and Harry left for Platform 9 ¾.
Hermione let her hair down that day and wore a tight white tanktop and a Jean mini skirt, with white sandals. She applied white eye shadow and clear lipgloss on her face, she looked quite ravishing.
Lavender on the other hand had her hair in a very messy bun. She wore a black mini skirt and a tight hot pink halter-top made out of silk. She wore high-heeled hot pink sandals and light pink glittery eye shadow and clear lipgloss, she knew she looked beautiful and held her head up high.
Ron wore Jean baggy pants and a white button down shirt as Harry wore beige baggy pants and a skater black T-shirt. The four were as excited as ever to go back to school and could hardly wait to see their friends' again.
"I can't believe the summer is over." Said Hermione as she walked hand in hand with Harry down the streets of London.
"I know what you mean. I'm still having problems accommodating to the hard solid ground." Said Harry.
Ron had his hand across Lavender's waist and nodded in agreement to what Harry had just said. "I totally agree with you their mate…" But he couldn't finish what he had said for he tripped on a piece of rubbish.
Lavender, Harry, and Hermione laughed as Ron made his way up. "It's not that funny." But he couldn't keep to that for he started laughing too.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Lavender and Hermione ran through Platform 9 ¾ as quickly as possible, holding on tightly to their trolleys (AN: HAHA! Annie trolleys! I had to add it in there hun!). Ron and Harry followed suite and before they knew it were staring straight at the "Hogwarts Express."
Hermione and Lavender made there way through the busy crowd trying to find Parvati, Dean, Seamus, Neville, and Ginny.
"LAVENDER!" Yelled Seamus to the top of his lungs. Lav noticed the Irish boy waving to her. She ran straight into his arms and hugged him as much as humanly possible.
"I've missed you so much!" Said Seamus. "Same here." Said Lav. She looked at the gang. "I've missed all of you!" Everybody said their hellos and hug's and hurried onto the train.
Ron found a compartment for them all to share in the back of the train. "Here we are…" He said waving his hand into the compartment. "Now ladies first…" Hermione, Ginny, and Parvati smiled and went through. Lavender waited for the three girls to pass until she made her way in.
"Ahahaha. Not so fast young lady." Said Ron, putting his arm across the compartment door.
"What?" Asked Lavender.
"The last girl who passes has to give the gentleman a kiss."
"Since when?"
"It's the rules."
"Yeh, since when?"
"Since now." Lavender smiled at Ron and kissed him on the lips.
"Happy now?" She asked. Amused by his display.
"Very." Ron said as he dropped his arm to let Lavender pass.

Hermione sat beside Harry in the train. She lay her head on his shoulder as she read from her book.
"What are you reading luv?" Asked Harry.
"Oh nothing much. Just 'The Intermediate Book of Spells, Grade 6'." Said Hermione.
Harry laughed. "Always the study buddy."
"And do you have a problem with that?" Asked Hermione, raising an eyebrow.
Harry stood there thinking for a minute. "Not particularly." Hermione laughed and kissed him. She let go of the kiss as she heard the compartment door clasp open.
Draco Malfoy stood there and looked around. "Why if it isn't Potter and his fan club?" He said as he looked at Hermione.
"Are you lost?" Asked Harry, a bit annoyed.
"Because you know we could always help you find your way back…" Said Ron cracking his knuckles.
"No need to get defensive Weasel!" Spat Malfoy. "I just came to see how our dear little Granger is doing."
Hermione shifted uncomfortably and laced her fingers in Harry's. "She's fine as you can see. Can you go now?" Said Harry a little more angrily than before.
Draco noticed Hermione and Harry's hands together. "Is this what I think it is?" He asked unbelievably.
"Yes Harry and I are going out. If you have a problem with that then well…I don't know, it's not like we care." Said Hermione smugly. Harry laughed and she kissed him on the cheek.
Lavender laughed at the display and put a hand on Ron's knee. Draco looked at the two. "You too?" he asked. Lavender nodded and kissed Ron on the lips.
"This is bloody mad!" Said Draco as he left. Though before he did he looked at Mione and winked over at her.
"What an arse that one!" Said Hermione as she put her head on Harry's shoulder again.
"Don't worry luv, he won't touch you. Not if I can help it." Said Harry. Hermione nodded before she
drifted back to sleep.

Hermione, Harry, Ron, Lavender, Seamus, Dean, Parvati, Neville, and Ginny (AN: Oh my that was long…) hurried off the train to reach the horseless carriages. Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Lav went on the first one, Dean, Seamus, Parvati, Neville in the next one and Ginny went with her friends.
It was raining and Hermione looked gloomily out the carriage window. "Are we…" She started.
"There yet?" Said Lav, as if she read Hermione's mind. (AN: I always say that in the car!)
Hermione nodded. "I hate the rain." She said. "It's so sad, gloomy, and damp."
Harry put an arm around her and looked out at the rain. "I on the other hand love the rain. Great weather if you ask me! Wet, fun, and running into mud puddles!"
Ron laughed. "You didn't say that two summers ago when you came over The Burrow and we had to digarden Gnomes in the rain!" Harry laughed as he remembered the gnomes that would refuse to leave the gardens. They would stomp their feet in the muddy rain and spray Ron and Harry.
"We're here!" Exclaimed Lavender as she saw the Hogwarts Castle in her view.
