"Harry!" Called Hermione from the common room. Ir was 10:00 p.m., and Harry and Hermione were supposed to be going outside to do their astronomy project.






Round Robin start:
Dear Harry,
Hi, it's Hermione! How are you doing? You're coming to Ron's tomorrow, right?


Hi... well... this is an idea I got from some other forum...
I'm sure it's been done here (although I dunno) but I didn't go check to see if it's been already done, but if it has then just count this as another one.

Basically, one person starts the story, lays the rules for the next part of the story, and the next poster has to continue the story following the rules of the previous poster. So basically it's almost like a story that we work on together and each have a part in it. For example:
(This is really short, just an example, not the real story)

Harry walked back, dirt-sodden and mud-plowed from the Quidditch field. They had just lost to the HUFFLEPUFFS, 160-150! Harry was going to go crazy! He couldn't believe they had lost again to the Hufflepuffs! Harry rimly walked back- showered, and tumbled down onto the sofa.

Rules: Harry and Hermione CANNOT get together in next post
- Hermione must comfort him
- Ron gets jealous

So basically we just follow out the story according to the rules. Anyway, here's my real one...

Dear Harry,
Hi, it's Hermione! How are you doing? You're coming to Ron's tomorrow, right? We're gonna have tons of fun!
I have some news to you- whether you like them or not- Ron and I got together- Sirius is staying at the Burrow- AND Ron's gonna try out for keeper! How cool is that?
See you at the Weasleys!
Love,
Hermione

Harry almost screamed in despair when he read the letter. It wasn't because Sirius was staying at the burrow. It wasn't because Ron was trying out for Keeper. It was because his best two friends got together! Harry always had something for Hermione- yet he was afraid to lose their friendship. He sighed. It was too late now.
Yet, what bothered him was that Hermione wrote, "Love" at the back, though Harry decided it wasn't more than the friendly love.
Harry grimly got the Floo Powder that Ron had sent over, and promptly got his packed bags. He tiptoed downstairs, and went into the Fireplace. Shouting, "The Burrow!" He flooed to the Burrow

Rules:
-Hermione has to show some liking to Harry in the next post
-Ron doesn't notice it
-Anything else- be creative!

Hopefully you wil keep rating at a minimum level- please no descriptions...
I would be very appreciated if someone continued this story! Thanks!

And if none of you like this idea then PLEASE don't flame.

I`ll give it a try....I`m not too good at these kind of things.


It was late at night at the Burrow. Harry had to feel around to light a candle. He quietly went upstairs and into Ron`s blazing orange room and laid down on the floor. Sighing, he figured he would talk to Ron the next day. There was no point in waking him.

***

The next morning, Harry felt Ron prod him in the shoulder.

"Harry?! When did you get here? Harry, wake up!"

Harry groaned. "I came here last night. I couldn`t spend another night at the Dursleys, so I flooed in. Did I wake you in the middle of the night?

"No, no. It`s good to see you! I`ll go get Hermione so we can all talk."

Harry suddenly came back to earth. Hermione and Ron were dating. This was great.

Hermione came in the room moments later. "Harry!" she squealed, kissing him on the cheek. "It`s great to see you!"

Harry grinned despite the fact that Ron and Hermione were going out. He could also see she had gone a little bit pink in the cheeks. What was this all about? Maybe Hermione was embarrassed being this excited to see Harry, especially now that her and Ron were going out.

"So, uh, you two are going out, huh?"

"Yeah," Ron said, putting his arm around Hermione. Hermione bit her lip.

* * *

For the rest of the day, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had fun. Well, Ron had fun. Hermione seemed rather unenthusiastic for some reason, and Harry, of course, was not exactly keen at the fact of his two best friends dating, especially since he liked Hermione.

This is going to be a long two weeks, he thought.


********************************************************

Well, not my best ever, but I hope it`s what you wanted and continuable!

we really need to remember to put the rules at the bottom of our posts from now on.

For the next week Harry helped to train Ron in becoming a Keeper, though it was untimately Harry's decision. The twins had stongly hinted that that was what they were going to do and that they had already talked it over with Angelina, Katie, Alicia.

After every successful training venture Ron had always hugged Hermione, and enjoyed it while Hermione seemed to be uncomfortable at best for Hermione while she looked at Harry.

Harry spoke up, " Hey Ron, how 'bout one last shot?"

" All right Harry, lets go."

Harry mounted his Firebolt and began his ascent with the quaffle. When Ron was ready and positioned in front of the hoop, Harry began his attack.

"Okay Ron, I call this, Angel Strike."

Harry did a short dive before looping and climbing straight up, doing one more loop to send him barraling down at Ron. The air moved quickly around Harry as he picked up more speed. the wind even seemed to flow off of Harry's back in the shape of huge wings. at the last second Harry through the ball with all his strength and it shot past Ron and scored.

Every time Harry performed the angel strike, Ron missed the block even doing it repeatedly. Hermione seemed to find this particularly funny, and voiced her opinion on the matter reciveing a quick glare from Ron.


RULES:
1. Ron is never able to block the Angel strike.
2. Ron and Hermione have their first fight.
3. More Hermione showing more interest in Harry.

Wow the story's turning out great! Gah...

The next morning, it was time for Diagon Alley. The three were ecstatic- and they were preparing to floo in.
As they reached Diagon Alley, however, Ron remembers he didn't bring his wand and he wants to go back to the Burrow with Hermione to get it.
"You dummy Ron, you don't need the wand!" Hermione said. She was getting impatient- they had spent all morning waiting for Ginny to get ready.
"But NO wizard leaves anywhere without their wand!" Ron argued.
"No, only paranoid wizards like Moody and YOU!" Hermione shouted.
Ron glared at her. "I'm paranoid? YOU'RE paranoid! All summer you've been like, 'is Harry okay?' or 'what if Harry's hurt?' It's like you care about him more than me!" Ron shouted, making the whole street look at them. Harry blushed at the mention of his name.
"That's because he might not be!"
"HE CAME BACK FINE!"
"I CAN STILL WORRY!"
"I need my wand anyway! Come on Hermione!"
"Go get it yourself!"
Ron was practically seething with anger. "Why aren't you coming?"
Hermione gasped. "How could you be so stupid, Ron? YOU DON'T NEED A COMPANION TO GET BACK TO THE BURROW!"
"Yes I do! Harry, what do you thnk?" Ron turned to Harry. Harry sighed.
"This is a pointless argument. Personally, no offense Ron- I think you can get it by yourself. Why the hell do you need Hermione anyway?" Harry pointed out. Hermione grinned.
"Fine! Hmmph!" And Ron ran back to the Leaky Cauldron to floo to the Burrow.
"Finally..." Fred sighed. The Weasleys have been watching for a long time now. "Let's split up. Me and George are-"
"George and I." Mrs. Weasley corrected sharply.
"Gred and I are going to the joke shop! Bye!" The two sped off.
"I gotta buy new robes, mom!" Ginny cried. Mrs. Weasley sighed and went off with Ginny. She called back, "You two will be fine, won't you?"
Harry nodded and smiled at Hermione. "So you wanna go and wait for Ron?"
Hermione glared. "Why should I? He's a pointless bastard! God!" She took Harry's hand, to Harry's surprise, but a little hard, and dragged him off Flourish and Blotts.
Once Harry caught up, Hermione grinned. "You know, Ron was pissed that he couldn't block the Angel Strike. It looked awesome!"
Harry blushed. "Thanks, Hermione. What if Ron can't find us?" He asked worriedly. But he didn't really care. For all Ron was worth, he wanted Ron to stay inside the Burrow for the whole day.
They walked into the Book Shop. Hermione immediately waved "bye" and left Harry on his own. Harry himself went to look at the Quidditch books, when...
"Oof!" A person cried. Harry realized he wasn't looking and gasped. It was a very, beautiful girl...

Rules:
1. Harry likes the girl
2. Hermione gets very jealous
3. The girl is a Death Eater (do not reveal until later)

Thanks!

~MiSt Slytherin Death Eater Second-In-Command of the Dark Lord~

I'm gonna try this...but I bet it won't beas good as anyone else's....

"Oh my gosh,I'm really sorry,"said Harry, helping the person up."It's okay,I'm not hurt...hey!It's you!Harry Potter!"she squealed happily."Er...yeah,"he said slightly embarrassed."My name is Alexa,you go to Hogwarts,right?"she asked hopefully."Er,yeah how about you?"he asked,trying to take his eyes off her lips."I just tranfered here...I do hope I fit in..."she said blushing as she saw the dumbfound look on Harry's face.
"What house do you want to be in?"he asked,hoping she would be in Gryffindor.He really liked her...but he also had something for Hermione.Then again,she was dating Ron, so he would try a shot at her."Um,well...any house would be okay..."she said.He wanted to know more about this girl.
"Doyouwannagooutandhaveasundaeorsomething?"he ased blushing furiously.
She giggled at his antics,making him blush even more.
"Sure,"she giggled.His face lit up.
"Hey Harr-"Hermione stopped when she saw Harry and the mystery girl talking and laughing.She dropped the book she was holding as envy and jelousy coursed through her veins.
"Oh before we go,I gotta tell a friend where I'm going,she might get worried..."he said.She nodded and he set off to find Hermione.
She had rushed over to the spell book section,and there is where he found her.
"Oh hey,Mione,I...er...well I met this person..hername is Alexa,and we're going to the ice cream parlor...okay?"he asked in a rush."Sure,whatever,"she said,with a totally fake smile.He could tell that she was lying."You're lying..."he said suspiciously."No I'm not..."she said grinning widely.She was still lying, but he would let it off now and talk to her later."Okay.....later,"he said slowly.She waved as he and Alexa left through the door.Once they left she cursed to herself as she repeatedly banged her head on the book shelf.~*~

Rules:
1.Hermione must fin out something odd about the girl.
2.Hermione must try to gain Harry back.
3.The girl must have Harry under key and lock(under a leash,you know what I mean...)

Well,that's it,it's not very good,but I'll post again soon.Cheers!

Ok well here goes. *gulp*

Hermione watched as Harry left the book store. Her head was sore and a little red from banging it on a self. but she decided to follow Harry anyway.

Harry sat down with that girl he was talking about, Alexa. At the distance hermione was at she could see them both very clearly but they wouldn't have an easy time seeing her. Thats when Hermione noticed something rather odd about the girl, her right eye, the iris was bright crimson red while her other eye was a dull grey. Hermione didn't know what to think about this but decided it was worth remembering.

Hermione ran around the building so it looked like she came from the book store, she walked over and could see Alexa trying to lead Harry away from the ice cream shop and seemed pretty adamant about it. And Harry seemed just as adamant to wait there.

"Hi, Harry." Hermione had gotten close enough to get his attention.

"Hey, Hermione. We were about to go to the apocarthy to finish picking up our stuff, wanna come with?" Harry said happily but quickly as Alexa was almost pulling his arm off.

"Yes, i'd love to go with you."


Da Rules:
1. Alexa almost poisons Harry hermione saves him.
2. The Angel strike gets used again.
3. Questions about the red eye come up.

I'll take a whack at this. Round-robins are spiffy as all get-out!

* * * *

As the three entered the Apothecary, the familiar, putrid scent of bad eggs and rotted cabbage flooded Harry's nostrils, making him a little nauseated. "Ugh. This place always makes me feel queasy," he commented.
Hermione studied his face, concern etched across her own. "Why don't you wait outside, Harry? I'll pick up your Potions ingredients for you," she offered.
He nodded, turning toward the exit, but Alexa piped up, "She's right, you head outside, Harry. While Hermia, or whoever gets your essentials, I'll pick up a few extra ingredients. I'm excellent at Potions, I'll mix something up for you that'll make you feel all better."
Harry gave her a thumbs-up and quickly made for the exit. Alexa smiled at Hermione in a devious, sickening manner. "Go on, Hermia, gather your ingredients."
"It's Hermione," she spat, eyeing Alexa suspiciously. "Tell me, Alexis or whoever, what does this little concoction you're whipping up for Harry consist of?"
Alexa glared. "It's Alexa," she spat right back. "And I'm just using a little fluxweed, a pinch of stevia leaves, some licorice root and a few ground rosehips. Sheesh, you think I'm trying to slip him a love potion or something? Relax!"
Still a little leery, Hermione made her purchase and went outside to wait with Harry. He was sitting at a table out front, Hedwig perched on his shoulder, with Ron and Lavender Brown from school. She handed Harry his bag of ingredients, asking, "Harry, why are you talking to Ron after he was such a jerk?"
Ron spoke up. "Look Hermione, I'm really sorry, I know I was being stupid. I met up with Lavender here, and we noticed the girl you and Harry were with. We think she looks like she's up to something, don't we, Lavender?"
Lavender, who was looking into a mirror as she applied another coat of lipstick to her already glossy pink mouth, looked up distractedly. "Huh? Oh yeah, do you guys think this shade of mauve makes my lips look fat?"
Ignoring Lavender, Hermione said, "I don't know about this Alexa girl either, Harry. I think she's up to something."
"Really?" Harry said. "I do kind of wonder about those eyes of hers. What's up with them?"
"I don't know," Hermione replied. "They look familiar, but--"
She stopped talking abruptly as Alexa appeared by their side, holding a cup of a liquid that was the color of canned peaches and throwup. "Here you are, Harry. The perfect remedy for nausea."
Harry took the drink, but he didn't sip it. "Uh... thanks, but... I'm actually starting to feel a little better."
"No, drink it!" Alexa insisted. "It's not that easy to make, you know! I worked really hard on it." She pouted, crossing her arms.
Not wanting to hurt her feelings, Harry raised the cup to his lips, but Hermione snatched it out of his hands. "Nice try, Alexa, if that is your real name! But if this were a blend of fluxweed, stevia leaves, rose hips and licorice root, it would be violet. This is orangish yellow! It's obvious that this potion contains unfrozen Ashwinder eggs! If Harry were to drink this, he'd implode! And you're not Alexa!" To Harry's surprise, Hermione grabbed hold of Alexa's cheeks and pulled off her face!
Harry gasped. "It was a mask! Alexa, you're a FEMBOT!"
"Not quite," Hermione said, pulling off the FemBot mask.
Lavender shrieked excitedly. "It's Joey Jenkins from the Chudley Cannons! I LOVE YOU, JOEY!"
"Not it isn't, Lavender." She pulled off yet another mask, revealing the face of a mean looking elderly man.
Ron looked shocked. "Why, it's Old Man Witherby, the mad escapee from St. Mungo's!"
"Who?" everyone chorused as Hermione tried to pull off another mask, but this one seemed to be the guy's real face.
Cornelius Fudge suddenly appeared with a bunch of other Ministry officials, who magicked some handcuffs onto the old man. "Thanks for saving Diagon Ally from this creepy old man, kids! He might have started telling stupid old man stories about when he was your age at any time!"
"And I would've gotten away with it too!" Old Man Witherby exclaimed, "If it weren't for you meddling kids!"
"We were just doing what had to be done, Minister!" Ron grinned. "Will we get a reward?"
"You sure will, Ron! Have a chocolate frog," he said, handing one to Ron. But before Ron could take it, Hedwig swooped down and took the frog in her beak, swallowing it.
"HEDWIG!" Harry scolded.
To everyone's surprise, Hedwig opened her beak and said, "Hedwig, Hedwig Hoo!" Then everyone laughed.
"Let's go play some more Quidditch, Ron! You can try to block the Angel strike some more!" Harry suggested as they all went back to the Burrow.

* * * *

Sorry, had to go with the Scooby Doo approach! It's always the way to go!
--Holly

Some rules for you delightful kiddos:
1. Ron decides Lavender is more his type than Hermione.
2. Harry and Hermione get caught in an awkward situation.
3. Everyone should have some pie... PUMPKIN pie. *Laughs maliciously*

all righty roo. ill try my hand at it. dont expect Lori-like writing or anything...

****

After an exhausting game of Quidditch (and some more failed attempts to block the Angel strike on Ron's part), the group decided to head in for a treat from Mrs. Weasley.

"Well I don't think Ron is a complete pi--" Lavender trailed off as she and Hermione watched the boys come into the kitchen and take their places at the table.

Hermione ignored the boys and continued her conversation with Lavender. "It doesn't bloody well matter what you think anyhow, does it? I'm the one that has to put up with him."

"Put up with who?" Ron inquired.

"No one." Lavender snapped at the same Hermione blurted out, "You."

Ron furrowed his brow. "Is this about that necklace I gave you? Because pillowbottom jewels look just like real diamonds."

Hermione fingered the chain around her neck. "No..."

Ron blushed. "Oh. It must be those flowers right? I mean because the flowerstand guy said it'd be right funny if you burst into rash."

Hermione scratched at her wrist uncomfortably. "So it was those flowers!" She exclaimed.

Ron looked at Harry warily, who was gesturing furiously to stop blurting things out stupidly.

"Then what was it?" Ron said, finally giving in to Harry's advice.

"I was just telling Lav how you eat really sloppily..." Hermione said, her eyes narrowing. "But now that you've volunteered all these confessions --"

"Pumpkin pie!" George and Fred exclaimed in awe, looking at the steaming hot pastry in Mrs. Weasley's hands. She set it down on the table carefully.

"Now everybody eat up, there's plenty more where that came from," said Molly, and she began cutting a slice for her husband.

Soon everyone had a plate of pumpkin pie and conversation at the table was soon replaced with quiet sounds of cutlery and chewing.

"Lav," started Ron. "Aren't you going to eat your pie?"

Lavender had left her pie untouched, and was busy applying another coat of mascara to her already heavy laden eyelashes.

She looked up from her compact mirror, recapping the black tube in her other hand, and peered down at the piping hot, creamy mess on her plate.

"Oh, no!" Lavender squealed. "I couldn't possibly! Not
with these thighs!" She pushed her plate away. "I'm sorry Mrs. Weasley, I'm on a slight diet."

Ron poked his head under the table for a moment to take a look at "these thighs" and then popped back up, shoveling another forkfull of pumpkin pie in his mouth.

He watched Hermione, who was devouring her pie with rapt attention.

"Say, Hermione," he began. She looked up from her pie, and some filling dribbled onto her lower lip. She grabbed a napkin and wiped it away hurriedly.

"What?" She responded.

"Why don't you go on a diet for once?"

There were several gasps, and Ginny clasped a hand to her mouth in horror. Harry put his head in his hands, and Mrs. Weasley put her ovenmitted hands on her hips. Fred and George were having a hard time trying to decide if they should laugh at Ron's predicament or hit him, and Arthur looked pale as a ghost.

Ron hadn't seemed to have noticed his error, and Hermione stared at him in shock.

"W-why?" She asked, her voice trembling. "D-do you think I'm.. I'm fat?"

Something seemed to click in Ron's mind, though a bit too late. "Ohhh, you thought I meant - you actually thought I would... no! No, no, you're not fat at all, Hermione! I just mean that like all the other girls are dieting and I just thought I.. I mean I just asked!"

Hermione held his gaze and seemed to regain some of her self control. "Ah, of course." She said, snappishly. "Because all the other girls have body image problems, I should as well. Yes, yes, of course. It makes quite a bit of sense, Ronald!"

Ron heaved a huge sigh of exasperation. "Look, you know I didn't mean that."

"Then why did you have to say it?" Hermione asked, shrilly. She pushed her chair back and hurried out of the room.

Ron rolled his eyes exagerratedly. "Blimey," he said, looking over at Lavender. "Are you all that touchy?"

Lavender looked up at him beneath thick eyelashes. "I'm not." She said huskily, and the two looked at each other hungrily.

Harry watched them in disgust. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley seemed to be sick, and Ginny suddenly lost her appetite for pumpkin pie. Fred and George were preparing to beat Ron silly.

Harry had had enough. He slipped out from behind the table and grabbed another slice of pumpkin pie (this one with extra whipped cream) and two forks, declaring he was going to go find Hermione.

He found her sitting beneath a big tree out back, a large, worn leatherbound book in her lap. As he drew closer, he recognized it as Hogwarts; A History, and he smiled.

But when he was closer still, he noticed her eyes were red and puffy, her cheeks wet, and the page she was on (talking about the enchanted ceiling in the Great Hall) had quite a few drops of what he only could assume to be tears staining it.

He plopped down next to her on the cool green grass and looked at her expectantly, holding the pumpkin pie with a silly grin on his face.

Hermione shut the book and looked at the food. He noticed temptation in her brown eyes (such lovely eyes, wasn't sure why he hadn't noticed them before), but she looked away defiantly.

"Not with these thighs," Hermione said, holding back a giggle.

Harry burst into laughter, and taking a fork, broke off some pie and held the bite out for her.

She looked at it warily, and then finally ate it, taking the fork from Harry's hand.

"Well, thanks." She said, quietly, after they had almost finished the thick slice.

She took another bite, some whipped cream catching on the side of her mouth. Harry looked at it, his green eyes twinkling.

"What is it?" She asked, looking up into his gaze.

"You've... you've got some whipped cream... just there." Harry said, his finger reaching out and wavering over the bit of white near her rosy lips.

Hermione watched him carefully. "So?" She whispered, her voice hoarse and quiet.

Harry let his finger slide over her cool skin and wiped the cream onto his fingertip, drawing it away from her face, eyes locked with hers.

He licked it off his finger.

They both turned bright shades of pink. How very awkward, Hermione mused.

Ron cleared his throat. "I need to talk to Herm alone, Harry." He said.

*****

Ruleness:
1. Ron and Hermione should discuss their relationship (they may or may not break up, thats up to you)
2. Harry and Hermione must hug
3. Malfoy should make an appearance (couldnt resist that one )

righto hope you enjoyed it.

hey it's me again!*ducks flying tomatoes*
I'm gonna give this another shot maybe it will be better this time



"Um,sure Ron,whatever,I'll go inside.See you guys later,"he called over his shoulder.Hermione waved before he dissapered into the house."Hermione,I..I didn't mean what I said back inside,"he said staring at the ground."They why did you say it?!"she snapped."I made a mistake okay?!I can't be perfect like you want me to be!"he yelled."I don't expect you to be perfect,but your always messing up!Then someone pays for your mistakes!"she screamed."That's not true!How could you say that?!I admit I've messed up afew times with you,but that shouldn't affect us,you know I...er like you,but-" "Like me?I could of swore afew days ago you said you loved me!Or did you change your mind because you notcied Lavender.I can't be like her,going on diets because someone tells me to.I don't wear that bloody much make-up.I DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE A BLOODY BARBIE DOLL!"she shreiked,glaring at Ron.He was taken aback by her statement."Well fine,if we're always fighting like this,maybe we weren't meant to be!"He suddenly got up and stormed off."You just noticed that now?!"she called after him.She sighed heavily,grinding her teeth.
When Harry heard Ron come in yelling and stomping up the stairs he knew they had a fight."Ron,what happened?"asked Ginny."Leave me alone!"he snapped.He found Harry sitting on his bed in theroom."Leave,"Ron snapped."Fine,"Harry said flatly.
He marched out of the room and out the back door towards the tree that Hermione was sitting under."Hey,are you okay?"he asked."Leave!"she snapped at him."Whoa,o-okay,"he stuttered."Oh Harry it's you.I'm really sorry,I thought that you were someone else,"she said as he sat down."Care to tell me what happened?"he asked,pulling her into his lap."We broke up,"She placed her head on his shoulder.He was sort of happy,but he knew that she needed comforting.He hugged her tightly as she told her story of how they were always fighting,and surprisingly,she hugged back."Thanks Harry,"she sniffed."For what?"He placed a kiss on top of her head."For talking with me and being there when I needed you,"she said,resting her head in the crook of his neck."No problem,"he murmured.They stayed like that for a few minutes,before Hermione spoke again."Let's go back inside,"she said.He nodded and she slipped off his lap and got up,wiping the remaining tears from her eyes.harry picked up her book and the ventured inside.
"W-where's Lavender?"stuttered Hermione."With Ron,"said George."In his room,"piped Fred."Wow he sure got over that fast,"said Hermione flatly."Don't worry about it,your not his responsiblity anymore,"whispered Harry.She nodded in understanding."You gotta look after me now,"he teased.There was a knock at the door which Ginny answered."Draco?"she whispered."You're not supposed to-"she was shut up with a his finger."Who is it dear?"rang Mr.Weasley's voice."Er....um,my friend,he jut came to drop something off,"she called back."Why don't you invite him in then?"he called back."Er...he has to be going,he just has to give me the thing then he's leaving,"she said."Alright."Ginny stepped out and shut the door behind her."Alright,out with it,"she said placing her hands on her hips."Well,I sort of have too tell you I've run away,my father is forcing me to become a deatheater,and with the extra beatings I get each day,I gotta go,"he said sadly."Draco,where are you going to stay?"She was getting worried for his sake."Um...I'm not sure yet,I guess the pub in Diagon Alley as long as I can afford it,"he said."Oh no you don't,your going to stay here,"she said sternly."But your parents hate me,they'll never let me stay,and I'm not even supposed to be seeing you,"he said flatly.She shook her head and dragged him inside."Er...mum,dad.I've got something to tell you,"she said shly."What is it dear?"asked Mrs.Weasley."I've been seeing Draco Malfoy."

Rules:
1.Mrs. and Mr.Wealsey must have a discusion over Ginny's relationship.
2.Draco must be excepted into the house.(Oh come on,don't be that mean,)
3.harry and Hermione must share their first kiss;in the tightest spot you can think of,in the house.(e.g a locked broom closet)


Thanks!

*sigh* I guess I'll try my hand at this...even though I'm not a believer of the D/G ship...

__


Arthur stared at her. Mrs. Weasley clapped a hand over her mouth, her face losing color. Fred and George's faces began turning red; George started to push up his sleeves.

Ginny watched them nervously. "George, Fred, sit down. Let me explain."

Arthur gave a weary sigh. "Go ahead, Ginny."

Ginny cleared her throat. "This past year at Hogwarts, I got into a bit of a stitch. It's not important what it was, it's over now. Draco gave me a bit of help, and as a result we began to spend more time together." she took a breath, glancing over at Draco, who was eyeing the twins warily.

"He confided in me, telling me about how his father abuses him--wants to make him a Death Eater. Draco isn't bad like his father, he just acted the way he did to avoid more beatings and torture. He fled his house in the middle of last night after his father told him earlier on that the inauguration for the recruited Death Eaters was the next day. He has no place to stay--Mum? Dad? Could he stay with us?"

She looked pleadingly at them, begging with her eyes. The color was returning to her mother's face, and she gave a weak smile. Arthur didn't say anything, but just stared into space. He didn't trust any Malfoy, never had and never would.

"Ginny," he started. Ginny bit her lip. "Draco can stay with us. That is not because I trust him--I will never trust a Malfoy. I am only allowing him to stay because he is a friend of yours, and because he will come to the Ministry tomorrow with me and tell us any information that he knows regarding Voldemort's whereabouts."

Draco sagged visibly with relief. "I'll be glad to help, sir,"

Ginny let out the breath she had been holding. She had been sure that her father wouldn't let Draco stay. Not wishing to give him any ideas about changing his mind, she said her thanks and tugged Draco up the stairs. "I'll show you where you'll be sleeping."

Meanwhile, Harry was sitting on Hermione's bed in Ginny's bedroom, watching her read. He had been kicked out of Ron's room, so he followed Hermione into Ginny's. Hermione suddenly let out a frusturated growl.
Harry shot her an amused glance.

"What is it, Herm?"

She looked up at him, a scowl on her face. "Lavender is sleeping in here tonight!"

Harry bit back a laugh. "Listen, I have a problem with the Charms homework--do you think you could help me out?"

She sat up, grinning. She was always happy to be doing schoolwork. "I'll come with you to get it, so you don't have to face Ron's wrath alone."

Nodding, Harry headed up the stairs towards Ron's room, Hermione close behind him. He swung open the door and walked in, crossing the room to his trunk. Hermione stared at Ron and Lavender, who were currently kissing against the wall. She scooted along the opposite wall towards Harry, when suddenly the two started to back across the room in a frenzy of flying hands and tangled legs.

Harry looked up, homework in hand, to see that he and Hermione were about to get pinned by Ron and Lavender, who were kissing madly. He took her arm and walked backwards, hoping to edge around to the door. Suddenly he tripped and went flying into Ron's closet, taking Hermione with him. Ron and Lavender fell against the door, trapping the two inside. Harry swallowed.

Hermione and himself were pressed tightly against each other, front to front. The closet was barely big enough for Ron's junk, never mind two teenagers. Two very nervous, very confused teenagers.

Harry cleared his throat. "Uh...how do you suppose we--we get out of here?"

Hermione made a small noise. "I..I don't know..." but she was cut off by a mouth on hers.


Rules:

1. Continue the closet scene, because this is getting rather long.
2. Ron and Lavender end up catching Harry and Hermione before Harry and Hermione can get out of the closet or 'out of' their sudden make out session.
3. Harry and Hermione must admit their feelings for one another. (Real toughie! )

i love accidental magic, its just so much fun that you cant control it.

All of a sudden Harry found himself kissing Hermione, it just happened, he had tried to move his foot but lost his balance and fell forward. Harry didn't pull back when he felt the kiss deepen.

Hermione seemed just as surprised, that this was happening but it all just felt so right. After everything they had been through Hermione admited the one thing that she didn't want to, she fell in love with her best friend Harry Potter. And if this kiss was any indication he had the same feeling for her.

The dark cramped closet, the air seemed to slow and fall still, then leap up with a bright light that matched the happiness that they were feeling. The air blowing up their hair but niether Harry or hermione cared.

This is when it all went out the window, or the door as the case may be, when the door to the closet opened to find a shocked Ron and lavender looking in at Harry and Hermione kissing. They didn't look up they just kept kissing.

Ron closed the door to his closet. And looked over at lavender, "i guess your plan did work."

"Was there ever any doubt?"

"Do you REALLY want me to answer that?"

"No, but we wouldn't have found out with out that breeze, and all that light flooding out from underneath the door."

"Do you think we should tell them that we know?"

"No, not now Ron, give it awhile."

Ron and Lavender walked out of his room.


AHHH, that was bad. oh well

RULES:
1: Harry and Hermione must voice their love verbally.
2: Draco gives up the Info on Voldemort.
3: Harry gets the idea that its his job to defeat Voldemort.
4: Harry must find out one new power that had been dormant inside him.

Start of ROUND ROBIN:
Harry James Potter,leaned against the windowsill of his room,in his house that he shared with Sirius.


Okay,I know this was do before a long time ago,but I decided to bring it back because it's really fun,well it was for me anyways,but I hope you'll like it.

This is how it works:
One person(me)starts a story,maybe abot 1 to 3 paragraphs and when he or she is finished,he/she leaves a couple of rules for the next poster to follow while they continue the story.The next post must contain the rules,and remember,you can have it all done and typed,but then someone else posts first and you got to write another part up again.So it's like first come first serve.I'm gonna start and you can post as many times as you want but don't over do it and let other people have a chance aswell.It can be any rating,and it's not likely that this fic will have an average rating.And don't forget as I always say,have fun and don't push yourself too hard.

Here is my first post.

Harry James Potter,leaned against the windowsill of his room,in his house that he shared with Sirius.He had invited Hermione and Ron to stay for the summer,ever since he had heard that his godfather was free of all charges.He glanced out the window,them looked down at his wrist watch.Ron was supposed to be arriving soon via floo powder,so he decided to go downs stairs.No sooner thanwent he got to the bottom of the stairs,his red-heaed friend was clearly visible lying down on the floor covered from head to toe with soot."Oh Ron,"snickered Harry as he gave Ron a hand."Hiya Harry,"grinned Ron,clearing all the soot off him with a simple spell."Where are Hermione and Sirius?"he inquired."Mione should be here any minute now,and Sirius went out for abit,"answered Harry.Ron nodded and soon a green mini van pulled inot the drive way."Exellent!Hermione's here,"said Harry.He was about to rush out the door when he stopped and turned to Ron."You and Mione are going to be staying in my room.it's the first room to your left when you get up the stairs,you can start unpacking while I get Mione,okay?"he grinned,looking very excited.ron gave a curt nod and with that Harry rushed out the door.

"Harry!"cried Hermione as she leaped inot his arms.He did a little spin before putting her down.Mr.Granger cleared his throat and Harry let go.He got really giddy around one of those over-protective father acts."It's good to see you again Mione,"he said,trying to keep steady.Mrs.Granger swatted Mr.Granger's arm and tutted."Hello,you must be Harry.Our little girl has told us so much about you,"smiled Mrs.Granger pleasently.Hermione blushed,as did Harry."Mum!"hissed Hermione."I'm Jewel and this is Adrian,we are Hermione's parents if you haven't guessed,"she sid politely.She looked about 40 years old and Mr.granger looked about 42."Nice to meet you sir and ma'am,"Harry said with a handsome smile,while shaking both their hands."Now Hermione I want you to have a good summer and Harry,I want you to look after my baby girl,"said Mr.Granger strenly."I wouldn't think otherwise,Hermione is important to me and I wouldn't let anything happen to her.You have my word sir,"said Harry standing his ground from Adrian's stren look.His face softened.He liked this boy.Hermione looked like she was about to explode from embarassment."Let's go Hare-bare,"she said tugging his ear and dragging him inside along with her trunk."Bye Mr. and Mrs.Granger,"said Harry,waving goodbye as they left.

That's it,and here are the rules for the next poster(if anyone posts)

1.Harry and Hermione get caught in an akward event.
2.Ron has to say something very stupid.
3.Harry catches Ron doing something pervertedm involving Hermione(e.i spying on her and stuff like that)

Well that's all I had time to do.Hope you post soon.Later people!

~*~Hermione Granger~*~

They got to Harry's room and he finally asked somethimg he had been wondering the whole time he carried her trunk.
"Hermione"
"yes, harry"
"Since,"he paused "when is my name Hairbear?"
"since...two seconds ago.:"
"oh in that case" Harry pouced on her and stared to tickle her, "I get payback"
Thay carried on like this for a while. Then at the same time they both realized the positions they were in. Harry was practicly on top of Hermione, his hands were on her sides from where he'd been tickleing her,her right leg was arched up but it managed to curve aruond Harry, her other leg was entwined with his, and her hands were around his neck because his most tickleish spot was on the back of his neck.Then ron came in.
"Great I'm in a room with two people about make it" Ron said from the door.
"i'm going to change so clear out" decaired Hermione
" Alright I'm going down stairs" said Harry.
He did so, but when he came upstairs ron was stairng into a ball. Harry looked into it and saw a fully undressed Hermione.
'ron how could you!"Harry screamed.

rules:
Hermione finds out about Ron spying.
Harry gets a talk about having no "horseplay' with Hermione in his room from his godfather.
Ron gets in a huge fight with Harry about his spying.

"How could I what?" Ron asked hastily shoving the ball out of sight.

"You know perfectly well what!" Harry yelled, gaping at his friend. "You were perving on... on....HERMIONE!"

"Oh, and you *weren't* just about to start ripping her cloths off when I came in..." Ron snapped. "I saw the position you two were in! Very COMPROMISING wasn't it???"

Harry opened and shut his mouth. "I was not...we were..."

"Suuure..."

"What the hell are you two yelling about?" Hermione appeared in the doorway looking annoyed. Ron changed to a death pallor. He inched away from her until he hit the wall, knocking the ball out of it's hiding place. Ron's eyes went wide as it rolled across the floor, stopping at Hermione's feet.

She picked it up. "What's this?" Her face went gaunt at the image of Harry's empty room. "RON! How...how...DARE YOU!" SHe seemed to be bursting with an uncontainable fury. "You...you pervert...I thought you were my friend..." She slapped Ron hard across the face and stormed out of the room.

Ron turned to Harry. "YOU COULDN'T KEEP YOUR FAT MOUTH SHUT COULD YOU? COULDN'T JUST LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE..." He was advancing menicingly on Harry, but he stood his ground.

"Oh, Ron, you deserved that and you know it!"

"Did I? Well what do YOU know anyway!"

"You wanna say that again to my face, huh, you little shit?" Harry responded (stealing my line)

Ron pounched at Harry and missed. Frustrated he tried to punch Harry, but seeing as how he was lazy and not the buffest guy on earth, he did little to no damage.

Perturbed by ron's incesant tapping, Harry pushed Ron into the door with his left arm. ron stumbled and fell. Ron, melodramatic to the bitter end, lay there. "Well," Harry said to himself. "I just totally shitted up that friendship again,"
****

"Harry," Sirius said when Harry decended the stairs. He grabbed Harry by the arm and led him into the study, shutting the door. "Let's just say I heard just about everything."

Harry cringed. "I know I shouldn't have beat Ron up, but.."

"Harry, that wasn't what I wanted to talk to you about. Remember, I heard everything? He deserved that. Nope, what I need to talk to you about is..." He raked his fingers through his dark hair. "Was what Ron said about what you and Hermione were doing true?"

Harry stuttered. "Uh..."

"Because, Harry, I need to put my foot down. I want no fooling around with Hermione up there. I let her stay in your room because I trusted you. Understand?"

Harry nodded.

"Then I suggest you go see how badly the hurt Ron..."

Rules:
Ron gets over himself
Harry and Hermione make out while Sirius is at work

Round Robin start:
Harry Potter couldn't believe he was finally on his way back to Hogwarts.



I really enjoyed the round robin game last time. Wanna try it again? Just gotta be a little more cautious on what gets written. Keep it family friendly!

I'll start it off.
***
Harry Potter couldn't believe he was finally on his way back to Hogwarts. It was a long summer with the Dursleys and he couldn't wait to see his friends again. Specifically, he couldn't wait to see Hermione. He couldn't explain why, but he missed her the most over the summer.
He wondered if perhaps this was love.
'Why is Uncle Vernon driving so bloody slow?' Harry wondered to himself. 'You'd think he'd be happy to get rid of me.'
After what seemed like hours, Vernon dropped him off at Platform 9 3/4 without so much as a grunt goodbye. Harry was more excited than ever. In a few minutes he'd be on the Hogwarts Express with Ron and *sigh* Hermione.
"Harry! Harry!" cried a voice from behind him. It was ...
***
Ok, next!

Ginny. "Harry, you haven't seen my mum by any chance have you? She still has some of my books."

Harry shook his head dully. "No, I'm sorry. Haven't seen Ron and Hermione have you?"

"My brother is over in that compartment," she said pointing. "But I haven't seen Hermione at all since last year."

Harry was confused. "Didn't she go to your house over the summer?"

Ginny shook her flaming red head. "No, she declined the offer I'm afraid. Sorry, Harry but I've just spotted Mum." She then dashed off with a cry of "OY, MUMMY!"

"Why would Hermione turn down an offer to stay at Ron's house?" Harry wondered out loud.

"Because," Came an answering voice from behind Harry. "You couldn't be there."

Harry whirled around to find Hermione behind him, grinning. "It's wonderful to see you. Harry!"

Harry simply grinned at her with the utmost affection and said,

"It`s good to see you to, Hermione."

Together, they went to find Ron before heading off on the Hogwarts Express. They found Ron, Ginny, and Mrs. Weasley all together, with Mrs. Weasley dabbing a tissue at Ron`s nose. Ron looked rather irritable.

"I`m fine, Mum! I have to go!"

Mrs. Weasley said her goodbyes to all of the children and they found a seat on the Hogwarts Express. After a while of them just staring at the green outdoors, Ginny sighed, stood up, and left the compartment.

Harry cleared his throat. "Well, what have you two been up to this summer?"

Hermione`s cheeks suddenly turned a deep shade of magenta. Harry noticed this and decided it would not go ignored.

"Hermione, what`s wrong?" he said with a worried tone.

At that precise moment, Hermione got up abruptly and left the compartment.

Harry looked at Ginny in confusion. "Is it something I said?" he questioned.
Ginny's face went scarlet and she, too, just got up and walked out.
"Did I miss something?" Harry said, getting loud.
"Not that I know of, but that's just me you know, mate." came a voice from behind him. It was Ron. "What's wrong?"


"It's Hermione she just...." Harry's face all of a sudden went all dreamy and the thought of Hermione just lightened up his spirit.
"Harry, what? She just what?" asked Ron. "Harry! Snap out of it!"

"What? Huh?" Harry replied, suddenly remembering his surroundings.
"You just spaced out, mate. Everything ok?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, I just got lost in my own little world," Harry said.
"Has everyone lost it around here? First Hermione and Ginny burst out of here and now you can't focus. Is everyone crazy today?" Ron said, half-joking, half-serious.
"Maybe," Harry sighed. 'At least, all the women certainly have,' he thought.
Just then, the compartment door flew open. Harry quickly turned and saw ...

None other than Draco Malfoy."What do you want Malfoy?"spat Ron.Malfoy hadn't done anything yet but it was off pure instinct.

"Where's your sister?"asked Malfoy calmly.

"What do you want with her?"asked Harry.

"We have some personal business to take care of,no if you won't tell me,then I'll go find her myself,"said Malfoy,before turning to leave.

"You're not going to talk to her or even come within a 20 metre radius with me around.Now that you don't have your two blokes to procet you I can kick your ass as much as I want,"siad Ron

"Like you could kick my ass,"smirked Draco.

As Ron and Draco fought on,Harry quickly slipped out and set out to find hermione.He really wanted to talk to her.

He searched every single compartment until he came to the last one at the very back.'She has to be in the lastone I check doesn't she,'thought Harry.He opened the door and surely enough,Hermione sta quitely reading in the corner."

"Hermione,can we talk without you running away from me like before?"pleaded Harry.

Hermione Granger I'm not offending your writing or anythingm but I just want to say that it'll be easier to read if you put a 'space' after the full stop (this might be an error on my comp).
______________________________________________________

Hermione stared wistfully out the new windows. It didn't seem to bother her that they were tinted and you couldn't actually see anything outside. She completely ignored the unprintable obscenity travelling out of Draco and Ron's mouths, which was very much unlike her. The normal her would've rolled up her sleeves and body-locked both of them.

'Can't tell. Don't want to drag you into misery-town.'

A vein pulsed in Harry's temple, and his heart almost blew up, but he managed to restrain himself and say: 'OK, you don't have to trust your best friend.' And he was off. He power-walked in a straight line, barging everyone out of the way.

Even when he way six carriages away, he coul hear Hermione's wails, and was suprised that she wasn't making any effort in silencing herself. He stopped, and walked into the room nearest to him. He looked up and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. Draco and Ginny were ... busy. He jumped out faster than coke being swept away into the uncharted areas of my disgusting innards.

He walked into the next room, and saw Crookshanks doing something to Hedwig that Harry had been dreaming of doing to Hermione. A drop of saliva dropped out of his mouth and splashed into his new Nike shoes. Was he changing or the rest of the school (including the pets)?

He went through all the rooms (each containing some weird things) and finally ended up back in Hermione's carriage. He miserably walked in, and saw Hermione by herself doing ...

_____________________________________________________

That's about as close to NC-17 as I dare. Hope it wasn't too long.

Something that broke his heart. She was curled into a little ball, crying harder than ever.

"Hermione, please talk to me. I can't stand to see you like this," Harry pleaded.

"Harry, I can't tell you. It's ... it's just ... oh never mind," Hermione said in between her sobs.

"You know you can tell me anything. Considering some of the things I've just seen on this train, nothing will surprise me. Unless you tell me that you're in love with Snape, that would probably kill me."

Hermione gave a little smile. Harry felt a little better, at least she was cheering up slightly.

"Harry, how do you always know how to make me feel better?" she asked quietly.

"It's a gift. Now, what's bothering you?" he said.

"If- if I tell you, you'll think it's so idiotic. It's really no big deal..." Hermione trailed off quietly.

"Hermione," Harry said, sitting down next to her, "if it isn't a big deal, then you wouldn't be crying. Now, please, what's wrong? Maybe I can help."

"It's just, Krum broke up with me. And I thought he really cared for me, I guess I was wrong," Hermione said sadly, looking away from Harry.

"Well, Krum's a fool, he doesn't know what he's missing."

Hermione looked gratefully at Harry and smiled sweetly. "Thanks, Harry. But, you didn't have to say that."

"I know, but it's the truth Hermione," Harry's heart fluttered at Hermione's smile. That was his weak spot. Actually, Hermione all together was his weak spot.

Just then, breaking the silence, was a knock at the door...

"umm.. sorry to interupt!" It was Ron. He was standing in the doorway.
Harry now had his arms wrapped around Hermione and he was brushing through her hair with his fingers.

Hermione was still sobbing, but was calming down. She sat up.
"Hi, Ron."
"Hermione, what's the matter?"
"Nothing." Hermione said.
"Krum broke up with her." Harry said.
"But Harry is so good at comforting people. It's like..."
Ron cut her off. "I'd better be going. I think i just heard Lav calling."
"Lav?" asked Hermione. "Since when does he call her Lav?"

Harry shrugged and then Hermione layed on Harry and...

I'll have a go!

~**~

...Hermione sighed. She turned her head to look at Harry, her eyes half open. Harry could tell that she was tired from all of the crying.

"Harry," she started blearily, "I -"

"Shh..." Harry said, running a soothing hand through her hair. "Just sleep."

Hermione nodded and drifted off into a deep slumber. Harry stayed awake and kept watch over her, stroking her hair every now and then, whispering softly in her ear. He vowed to let Viktor Krum know a thing or two if he ever saw him again.

'No one hurts my Hermione and gets away with it...' Harry thought before he shook his head. 'My Hermione? When did she become my Hermione?' Harry thought, even though, in a sense, he knew that she had always been his - the one that truly understood him, the one that never doubted him (well...except for that whole Firebolt thing third year, but it wasn't really him she was doubting, it was the Firebolt...)

Just as Harry tried to continue this line of thought, the door opened and...

~**~

~ Jacy

i might as well have a go.....



Draco walked in with what sounded like a small squeal...

"what was that" Harry asked

"none of your business Potter" Exclamied Draco walking out backwords very slowley.

"No Draco you will not leave untill you tell me what you are hiding from me!" Scolded harry as he pulled his wand out of his robe.

"I'll get you for this Potter just you wait i'll gget you for this"

"Thats it Draco iam counting to three. One two...."

"Alright, Alright i'll show you".
Draco moved aside to reveal.....


man it's dodgy but just see what u think.

"Ginny?" Harry gasped staring agog at the petite redhead. Draco's eyes narrowed but he didn't reply.

"What are you doing with him?" Harry demanded his voice raising louder than he intended and waking Hermione.

"Harry?" She yawned opening her eyes, they widened when they saw Draco and Ginny side by side in the doorway.

"Uh... alright Gin?" Hermione asked confusedly. Ginny flashed her a small grin.

"Yep. I'm fine thanks. Uh, we better go. See you." Ginny said, and grabbing a handful of Draco's robes she bolted from the carriage.

"What the hell was that?" Harry said aloud. Hermione shurgged, stretching her arms above her head.

"Who knows." She replied stifling another yawn. "We're nearly there, we better get our robes on." She said looking out of the window.


sorry, I know it was cliche to be Ginny but oh well!

Harry and Hermione caught up with Ron just as the train was pulling to a halt at Hogsmeade station. The students disembarked and made their way to the horseless carraiges. Ron lagged behind for a moment and began to tell the first years about having to wrestle a troll to get into the houses.

From what Harry could hear, Ron had told them that...

To get into Slytherin, they had to tell a personal secret about their best friend.
To get into Gryffindor, they had to wrestle a troll then beat the Giant Squid at a water fight.
To get into Ravenclaw, they had to read the entire library's book collection...then he mentioned something about the library's collection palling in comparison to Hermione's.

And finally, to get into Hufflepuff, they had melt a cauldron and present it to Snape as a present.

Harry laughed as he listened but Hermione simply rolled her eyes at Ron's stupidity but looked offended when Ron made the joke about her book collection.

Soon, the horseless carriages were galloping up towards the looming school gates. Rain was pouring from the dark clouds, pummeling hard onto the roof of the carraige. Harry watched the castle, his home come into view and felt his hand being squeezed. He turned his head briefly to find Hermione smiling at him, as if she was thanking him for his comfort before. It send tingles through his entire body, like small jolts of electricity.

Suddenly, the carraige lurched forward and stopped abruptly, sending the three crashing into each other.

"Get off me, Harry!" Ron squealled from underneath Harry. "Your elbow's digging into my ribs!"

The three clambered off each other just as the carraige door flung open. Hagrid was standing there with his large lantern.

"Get out quick!" he said urgently helping Hermione out of the carraige and into the rain and muddy pathway. "Something's happened up ahead!"



----------------

Sorry if it was long but i'm just a long-winded person!

Scrambling out of the carrage, the three young Gryffindors saw clearly what had happened.
_____________________________________________________________

sorry, just had to get this thread noticed so people would continue it! It's no fun if you're the author!

Harry put up a rain blocking charm (magical umbrella spell?) and focused on what was ahead. He smiled. He saw a big, black dog running around.
"It's Sirius," he mumbled to Hermione and Ron.
The trio grinned when they saw what was chasing the dog -- Snape.
"Get back here!" Professor Snape was yelling.
"Thought yeh'd want to see this," Hagrid explained. "Sorry for tha' jolt!"
Ron rubbed his ribs. "Next time be a little more gentle, Hagrid!"
Snape was having difficulty running through the mud chasing the dog. "The Ministry will have you yet, Black!"
Padfoot ran to Harry and transformed in front of him.
"Sirius! What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid you'll be caught?" Harry asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Harry! I'm free! The Ministry has finally come to their senses, given me a trial and found me innocent! Thanks to the testimony of Dumbledore and McGonagall. Plus what they said of your story. So, what color do you want to paint your room?"
"I'm living with you?"
"Of course! And your friends are welcome to visit whenever. Good ol' Ron there and naturally Hermione." Sirius nudged Harry and winked. Harry blushed 12 shades of red.
"Well, since the rest of the carriages have gone on to the castle, maybe we should join everyone else," Harry said, hoping to change the subject.
"Right then," Sirius said, helping Hermione back into the carriage.
And with that, they all rode to Hogwarts for the welcome feast.
Once there, Ron and Hermione went into the Great Hall, but Sirius held Harry back.
"Harry, as your Godfather, I think I should tell you some things about girls...

***
Ok, that was long, I know, and there's not much H/Hr. But I wanted to get things moving on the story again! Next!

"Whaaaaaaaaat? I wanna keep up with me friends." Harry whined.
"Oh, it won't be long." Sirius said.
Harry looked at him.
"Treat her right, and go wherever the river takes you. But be as the frog in the pond. Do not seek the fly. The fly will come to you."
Harry frowned in confusion.
"Do not seek the fly. The fly will come to you. I think I got it."
Sirius smiled. "It's all in the magic."
Harry looked after sirius. "Right." he said slowly.

"Great. Just great. He's finally cleared and he's lost his mind. Perfect timing. It's my experience that advice is much more helpful when given without loopy metaphors. I swear, if I ever have a godson, I'll be totally straight with him, I'll sit him down and say, "Son, that best friend of yours is quite the catch, no, not the redhead, the girl, and you do whatever you have to do to keep her happy." ...er, uh, or, you know, something like that, whatever fits his situation...

In any case, I wouldn't be calling anyone a 'fly.'

I guess I best catch up with them quickly, lest Sirius give me anymore advice. I think he really needs to realize that he's been living as a dog for an extended period of time and anyone who uses arse-sniffing as a pick-up technique shouldn't be doling out relationship advice. Er...not that there's a relationship I need advice on, nope, no, sir..."

And with that thought, Harry took off for the Great Hall, but not before running smack into...

-----
Er...sorry about that, I have a rough time writing stuff that's not Harry POV.

Hermione, the girl he couldn't get out of his head. "Oh, I'm sorry, Hermione. I wasn't looking where I was going I..."

"It's okay, Harry, I was looking for you. I'm actually quite glad I er...ran into you..." She gave a sarcastic chuckle and slapped him on the shoulder playfully.

"Oh, um...right." Harry responded nervously, secretly wondering why she couldn't hit him on the shoulder more often.

The pair of Gryffindors had just reached the doors to the great hall when...

Hermoine turned to Harry

" Harry you don't look very well is there anything wrong, Anything i can help you with?" Asked hermoine

"Ummmm." said Harry, He so wnted to just blurt out and say it Hermoine i love you but he couldn't bring him self to. "Umm nothing aim just thinking about living with Sirius." Lied Harry.

Hermonie had been with him long enough that those funny move ments like the small ttich of his deep, buetiful red lips of his meant that he didn't actually say what he wanted. Hermoine knew there was something underneath but she didn't know what it was.

"Harry, you're lying to me". Blurted Hermoine.

"What me never, i would never lie to the one i love......."exclaimed Harry. He instantly knew he went to far.

Hermoine was flubbergasted all she could say was.....

~**~
Hehehe i just had to get it moving along they had to know about each other feelings sooner or later..... rather sonner lol and plus only 3 days till the new book come out.

"Oh."

That was it. She had just said "Oh."

No fireworks, no star spangled night's sky flashing before his eyes, no fire, no flames...no love.

"Well...I...." Harry tried before Hermione stopped him by holding up her hand.

She looked panicked, stricken with panic. Her eyes told more than her face did.

"I'm sorry, Harry. I...I can't do this!"

And with that, she walked through the large doors, leaving Harry rooted to the spot in disbelief.

Hermione continued sprinting towards the Gryffindor Tower, and when she was half-way there, she froze, and stood rooted at the spot for a moment.

The fly will come to you

Suddenly, she ran back, and body-slammed Harry against the wall. Then she her lips crushed against Harry's, catching him by suprise and making him more vulnerable.

'Excuse us,' said Hermione to McGonagall, and she lead Harry to the Gryffindor Tower.

Once they got to the Common Room, Harry had to stop Hermione.
"Wait, what just happened back there?" he asked, breathlessly.
"Well, you said you loved me. Accidentally, sure, but you said it. I've never had the courage to say it to you, but I've loved you for as long as I can remember," she replied.
"Tell me that we've been this blind," he laughed.
"You've been this blind," Sirius said as he entered the Common Room. "Geez, Harry, I've seen it since you guys rescued me in your third year. I told you the fly would come to you!"
Hermione threw Harry a confused look.
"Never mind. I'll tell you later," Harry told her. "Ok, Sirius, you were right. You are the all-knowing and all-wise. However, I think I'd like some alone time with the fly now. Ok, Padfoot?"
"Fine, fine. You know, Harry. We need to get you a Marauder nickname. Any chance you wanna be an Animagi?"
"We'll talk," Harry said, pushing Sirius out of the room.
"So, Harry, since I'm a prefect this year, I do have my own room. And I haven't even seen it yet. Care to join me?" Hermione said, flashing those brown eyes that made Harry melt.
Harry almost couldn't find the oxygen to reply. Finally, it came to him. "Yes, Hermione, I would love to!"
Hermione grabbed his hand and began pulling him along.

***
This can be the end, or someone can pick it up again.

So everyone, want to start a new round robin? ok let's go!

It was a cold snowy day in the winter during christmas break at hogwarts and thirteen year old Harry Potter sat in the common room gazing at the tall flames of the fire. One of his two best friends, ron, had gone home for the winter break. His other best friend Hermione decided to stay at hogwarts, and he didnt want to leave her alone, so he stayed too. Just then Hermione stepped in to the common room.
"Oh harry, you and me are still on for me helping you with transfiguration tonight, right?"
"Yes hermione. Lets start now."
"great. i'll go get my book." Hermione said.
************************************************************
Give the next part!

I love these!
***********************
As Hermione was leaving to get her book, Harry removed his from his bag.
Just then, Hedwig tapped on the Common Room window. Harry let her in and she dropped the package from Ron. He opened the Christmas package to find a box of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. He was a little tired of them, but smiled anyway. He absent-mindedly stroked Hedwig, waiting for Hermione.
"I don't know Hedwig. I think Hermione got prettier this year. Something about her seems so different. She carries herself with confidence. Her hair is a little more under control. I'm rambling, aren't I?"
Hedwig hooted softly.
"I wish you could talk, it would be nice to get a female's opinion on this."
If Harry didn't know better, he would have sworn Hedwig smiled. She took off for the owlery just as Hermione came back down the stairs.
She had put her hair up into a twist to keep it out of her face and she had changed into some comfy pajamas. Suddenly, Harry became aware that he was staring.
"Um, er, ok, all set to study?" he stammered.

"Yes." Hermione responded slowly, giving Harry an odd look.

Harry blushed deeply and leaned over his book. "Um...so, what's the chapter again..."

Hermione snapped her book shut. "Harry," she said with concern. "What's the matter? Are you feeling okay?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine..." his voice cracked dramatically as he said 'fine'.
______________________________________________________
sorry if this sucks.

"ok, silly." Hermione said. "Now, um, how to transfigure a bird into a pocket-watch."
Harry watched closely as Hermione said "Gazedrolia!" and transfigured a robin into a small watch.
"Impressive, Mione. heh heh." Harry said nervously.
*Why am I so nervous?* he thought. *Hermione is my best friend*.
Harry was staring at her. She was wearing a nice comfy set of pajamas. A tank top and pants from aeropostale that her mum and dad had sent her for christmas. She even looked amazing without all of her touchup stuff on.
"Hermione?" Harry said. "Has anyone ever told you you were beautiful?"
"Um... no. my mum has, but that's about it. Maybe my dad. Why do you ask?"
Harry put an arm around her shoulder. "No reason. Go ahead with the spell you were just teaching me.

sry for replying again but this is fun and tempting.
*****************************************************************
Hermione looked startled but then relaxed into him.
"um..okay. the um, transfiguration of um, the,um." then she sighed.
"you okay, Mione?"
"Sure. Do you want to take a break?"
"okay."

Sry for replying again but nobody else is so-
**************************************************************
"Um...Well, we don't actually HAVE to study." Harry said.
"Yeah..." began Hermione. "We could do something else."
"What exactly is that?" Harry asked. Hermione yawned.
"I'm tired." she said. Harry softened and pulled her head to his chest, putting his arm around her. She leaned in and was now resting on him.
Lavender and Parvati were secretly watching. Hermione sighed as her and harry watched the hot flames of the fire warmed them up.

Harry looked down at Hermione as the light of the fire danced across her face it made her look diffrent somehow.
"Hah!" Lavender whispered triumfantly to Parvati, "Told you that they feel something for each other. Great now we have to give Ginny twenty gallens!"(sp?)
" Not so fast the bet was that they didn't go out until the second month so they still have time." Parvati countered
"Two Days!" loudly whispered Lavender, so loudly infact that it made Hermione stir in Harry's arms.
"Did you hear something?" Hermione asked Harry
"No Mione" He answered, he truly didn't because he was so happy that he had blocked out everything else.
"but Harry I-"
"Shh Mione it'll be ok whatever it is" He tried to confort her.
"All right.," then as an afterthought added, "We needed to finish our studies, that IS the reson we're here"
So she started treing to teach Harry who's mind was elsewhere.
Meanwhile Lavender and Parvati were in deep conversation.
"All the weasly's are gone so who else is sneaky, knows how to break the rules without being caught, and has something ron doesn't have: intelligence and can make good plans." Lavender pondered.
then it came to them, who they are looking for is...

...they weren't very sure at the moment because something caught their attention.
"Mione, could we do this another time? I'm really a bit tired." Harry said.
"I supose. I'm tired as well." Hermione put her head back on the couch. "I wish i could just go to sleep right here."
Parvati squealed, because she knew what was coming. But her voice couldn't be heard."you can go to sleep right here." said Harry. "I'll wake you up in an hour to go back to your dorm." Hermione looked uncertain but rested her head on Harry's shoulder as he put his arm around her again.

...About forty five minutes later, Hermione was snugled into harry, fast asleep and harry was asleep as well but he woke up as Hermione shrieked. Lavender and Parvati had gone up to the dorm but they were watching from behind the wall.
"Hermione, are you okay?" asked Harry. Tears were all over Hermione's face and she was gasping for air. "You-know-who and the *gulp* um..." Hermione didn't say anymore. Just sat there crying.
Harry stroked through her hair gently and wiped tears off of her face. "Mione? Mione. calm down. Tell me what's wrong. You had a nightmare?"
Hermione nodded her head. "Shh." said Harry soothingly. "You're all right now. I'm here. It's okay." He brushed through her hair with his fingers. Hermione seemed to be calming down as Harry kissed her hair softly. "Don't be afraid. It's going to be okay." he whispered. Lavender giggled but squealed in excitement, but she made sure the couldnt hear her. Hermione was calming down but still was breathing heavily. "It's okay, beautiful." Hermione looked up at Harry. She managed to smile a little all she could say was...

Someone please reply! please i'm out of ideas. the last line was:
She managed to smile a little but all she could say was...

I'll give this a try cause this needs some fluff. please tell me if this suks when im done.

She told Harry that she was feeling these feelings that she haddent felt before for him. Harry then looked deep into her bueatiful eyes and kissed her soft lips. Then he wipped the teers that were rolling down her face still.
"Let's go for a walk ok?" said Harry as he gently moved her, got up and streched,
" Harry its late shouldn't we be heading up to our dormitories ." Hermione said nervusly.
" Has that ever stopped us before?" Said Harry smiling widely. Hermione noded and stod up. They walked down to the Astronomy Tower, and looked out at the moon. they noticed that there was a bench not too far away. Hermione levitated it over behind them as they sat down.
" Mione, when I said that you were bueatiful in the common room, i meant it ." Harry said kissing her again. Hermione put her hands on his cheeks and kissed him again back. They started making out didn't stop til about 30 minutes later.
"Harry lets stop being this frisky and contain it til next time,and there will be a next time." said Hermione smiling.

"okay Mione. We should be heading back to our dorms now." Harry said.
They proceeded to walk to their dorms and when they got there, they had a kiss good night and went to bed.
**************
"I can't believe harry said i was beautiful. We were best friends, and i don't want us to lose anything. What will Ron think? What will Lav and Parvati think? What about Malfoy? and Ginny." Hermione said to herself in her bed. "I can't sleep." Hermione lay in bed for a couple more minutes. Then she threw her stuffed rabbit her mum gave her at Parvati. "Parvati!" she whispered loudly. "Hey parvati!" But parvati only stirred. "Lav!" she said. "Hey lav! Lavender!" but lavender was fast asleep. so she had nothing else to do but go into...the boys dorm. She took her rabbit along with her. when she arrived at the boys dorm she went to Harry's bed, where he lay awake.
"Harry?" she asked.
"Hermione?"
"Hey." she said. "I can't sleep."
"Me neither. come here." Harry said. Hermione crawled into Harry's bed and snuggled in on him with her rabbit. Dean woke up but didn't make a sound...
