Y/n's POV:

It was the evening of the second day at the order. School started tomorrow.

Me, The twins, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron, were at the dining table joking around.

"Do you think Harry will be back soon?" Ginny asked.

Me and Hermione smiled at each other then looked at Ginny giggling.

"Glad to see you missed me, Gin." Harry chuckled as he stood in the door frame.

Ginny went wide-eyed and slowly turned around to look at Harry. She blushed.

"Harry dear, good to see you! How'd it go?" Mrs Weasley smiled.

"All charges were cleared." Mr. Weasley smiled as he walked in.

"Excellent" Sirius smirked.

We all smiled as Harry sat down, and we all ate dinner.

That night, I couldn't sleep. Me and Draco had been sending letters back and fourth all summer, and he hasn't replied in 2 weeks. At first, I didn't put to much thought into it, but now I was getting worried. I looked at the bed to my left, and saw Ginny sound asleep. She was smiling. I quietly chuckled. "Must be dreaming of Harry," I glanced over at the bed on my right, seeing Hermione sleeping.

"I need fresh air." I thought.

I quietly sat up and got out of bed. I crept down the stairs, slipped on black sandals over my white socks, and threw my coat on. :

I didn't even bother to zip my coat. I just wanted fresh air. somewhere I couldn't hear Ron snoring. I walked outside and and saw a tall blonde in a black suit standing on the side of the road, facing the opposite direction. I could recognize him anywhere. I ran over and hugged him. He jumped and turned around.

"Y/n! Don't do that.. you scared me!" He looked scared even before I hugged him. He got a lot taller over the summer. He was now taller than me by a few inches. 

"What bring's you here?" I smirked.

"O-oh! Just on a stroll.." He gulped.

I raised my eyebrow. "In Little Whinging?"

He nodded and gulped.

I shook my head. "Draco, what's going on? Is it your father? Because--"

"N-no. Everything is fine, I just had to meet someone. But that doesn't matter." He fake smiled. "How are you?"

"I'm good now, but i've been worried sick for weeks because somebody didn't reply to my letter."

He gulped and and gave me an embarrassed look. "I'm so sorry. I thought I sent one, I've just been so busy with--" He stopped. "nevermind." 

"It's okay, just don't do it again." I smirked.

He smiled, and then I heard noises from the air. Like people flying near.

Draco panicked. "I-um have to go now! Bye!" He ran off.

"B-bye?" I stuttered as he ran off. "What was that all about?" I mumbled.

The next morning..

Ginny's POV:

We were all getting ready to head to King's Cross. If only I was a year older, I thought to myself. I was in the room by myself, and everybody else was downstairs.

"Ginny," Harry walked in the room and put his hand on my back, which gave me tingles.

I jumped. "Sorry to scare you like that.." He blushed and quickly took his hand off of my back. "It's just you were zoned out."

I nodded, not being able to speak. I gulped, and finally formed a sentence, "A-are you alright? After what happened with Dudley..?" I asked.

He looked at me with his gorgeous green eyes. 

Harry's POV:

Sometimes, I couldn't help but wish that she wasn't Ron's sister. I wanted to be with her so bad.

"J-just a bit shaken up." I stuttered and gulped. I lied. I was perfectly fine, I just hoped she would hug me, which she did.

She pulled away blushing. "It must have been terrible--"

"Hey lovebirds, let's go!" George chuckled.

We both blushed and then followed him down the stairs.

On the Hogwarts express,

Y/n's POV:

Hermione and Ron were talking, I was reading, and Harry rested his head on the window as he slept. He started twitching and sweating.

"Harry, Harrrry? HARRY!" I shouted at him.

"What ya yelling for?" Ron made a face at me.

Harry gasped and jolted up.

I rolled my eyes and smirked at Ron, and then looked at Harry. 

"Are you alright?" I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Yes.." He gulped.

"You had a nightmare about.. him.. again, didn't you?" Hermione frowned.

Harry nodded.

We all comforted him, as the express stopped.

"Let's go," I stood up and walked out of the train as the rest walked beside me.

"Surprised they're letting you out around free, Potter!" Draco walked over and laughed. I gave him a look, he didn't see. "I bet they have a cell in Azkaban with your name on it!" He chuckled.

Harry was about to go after him when Ron pulled him back. 

Draco and his crew walked away laughing.
