Wizardry

Fourth Year

Hermione's P.O.V.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I ran through the barrier, I expected an impact, but none came. About ten minutes later, I was on the train with Ron. Harry was in a compartment with Ginny. Now only two people could share a compartment. It was a new rule. "Ron?" I asked. "What?" He said. "How do you feel about Harry and Ginny?" I asked. "Fine, I guess." He answered. I hugged him. "Just let them be. He makes her happy, and she makes him happy. Everyone is happy, right?" I said. "Yep." He said, beaming. Not wanting to make him upset, I didn't ask why he was smiling so much. Once we pulled up to Hogsmeade Station, we got out and entered the Great Hall. The Sorting Hat sorted first years. "Holly, Kristina." Professor Mcgonagall called. "Gryffindor!" The Sorting Hat yelled.

We all clapped. "Why do you think we're only allowed to sit two to a compartment?" Ron whispered. "Safety." I said, barely moving my hand closer to Ron's. Harry must have noticed because he chuckled. "What?" Ron asked. "Oh, nothing." Harry said. His eyes were focused on Dumbledore, who was saying a few words. "Ron, do you know Lavender Brown likes you?" Harry said. "No, I don't like her." Ron said. I sighed with relief. Harry chuckled again. "Seriously, what's so funny?" Ron asked. "Nothing." Harry said, smirking. "Fine." Ron said. "I heard that the Triwizard Tournament is being hosted here." I said. "How do you know everything?" Ron said, looking bewildered. "There are notices everywhere Ronald." I said, laughing at his reaction. Ginny came over and hugged Harry. "Ron." I said sternly under my breath. "I'm fine." He said back quietly. Ginny sat down and we kept talking during the feast.

"Do yu' know Ronald has a crush on you." Ginny whispered to me once back in the common room. "I know. I like him too." I said. "Calls ya his bushy-hair crush." She said. "Really?" I asked. "No." She said, laughing. "Harry loves you. It's all he talks about." I said. She looked confused. "Really?" She said. "Yep." I replied. We laughed. George came over. "Good evening, ladies. Would you like to know what those two are saying?" He asked, gesturing towards Harry and Ron. Me and Ginny looked at each other. "Sure." We said. George walked over and started talking to them. "2 Knuts, please." He said when he came back. "Fine." Ginny said. She paid him and he told us everything.
