Hermione POV~

"Ron.." I whispered. "Ron"

"Ron!" I shout. "What?" He groans squirming around in his bed. "I need to talk to you" I whisper. "Ok, what?" He said sitting up. "Not here" I say looking at Y/N sleeping. He looks at the girl as well before following me into the hall. "So, it's about Y/N.... right?" He says. "Yes" I said.

"Listen, I know last year we had a bit of a disagreement and didn't go through with our plan" I say. "So i'm suggesting we start that up again, get Harry and Y/N together!"

"You can't be serious?!" Ron exclaims. "Sssh! Keep it down" I said. "Y/N just had a break up as well as her boyfriend dying and you think this is the best time to do the plan?!" He adds. "Look last year wasn't good for anyone, I brought it up because I heard them whispering last night" I say. " And to me it seemed a bit flirtatious"

"Okay, let's say we go through with the plan, who's to say she won't resent us or Harry later on" Ron says. "That is true, but a risk I'm willing to take" I said confidently. "Well, Im not!" He exclaims. "C'mon Ron! We can do it in a natural way" I say. "We'll have to make sure whenever Y/N is feeling down or having one of her nightmares that Harry is around"

"And maybe they'll see how they feel for each other eventually" Ron finishes. "Exactly" I smile. "Ok, plans on then"

Y/N's POV~

I walk down the corridors of Hogwarts making my way to the lake. Our lake, one of the most important people in my life. As I reach the lake I see a boy sitting watching the water. I run up to the boy smiling from ear to ear. I sit down next to him smiling. "Glad you could make it" Cedric smiles. " me too!!" I said.

"Isn't the weather lovely today" he says looking forward again. "It is, a little chilly but otherwise lovely" I said. "Are you cold?" He asks worriedly. "No, I'm fine" I giggle. "Well, I'm already warmed up so" he starts. The boy wraps his large coat around my body warming me up a bit. "Now, let's warm you up!" He smiles.

"Thanks Ced" I smile putting my head onto his shoulder. "Anytime Y/N" he replies putting his arm around my waist. All was quiet until a voice spoke "Kill the spare"

"Kill the spare!!"

Time slows as Cedric is struck by a spell, falling right into my lap. I am left breathless as his body lay stiff in my arms. "Cedric!!" I scream. Soft whispers can be heard as the ominous figure starts to walk towards me.

"Y/N...."

As the killer gets closer I begin to shake. "Y/N..." the voice says getting louder.

As the man reaches down a loud yell is heard "Y/N!!"

I wake up covered in sweat and shaking. "Y/N.. are you okay, Hermione told me I should come wake you, and I found you shaking" Harry says. I look into the boy's eyes before crying my eyes out. He scoots closer to me and holds me in his arms. "It's okay, I'm here"

"Thank you" I manage to whisper. "What are you two doing up—" Mrs. Weasley starts before leaving and closing the door. "Should I grab us some breakfast?" Harry asked. "No thank you, I'm not hungry, but you should eat" I said drying my eyes. "No, I'm fine, I'll just stay here with you" he says. "Don't worry about me, this happens a lot, you should eat" I smile. "Will you at least sit with me at the table??" He asks.

"I guess so." I say.

"Ready to go?" Hermione says dragging her trunk. "Yep" I say following her out the door. "Quickly out the door kiddos!" Mrs Weasley says pushing us out the door. We all quickly make our way to 9 3/4. Harry walks with Mad Eye leaving the rest of us. "Y/N dear, you're first" Mrs. Weasley smiles. "Of course" I say running my trolley into the brick wall. Im followed closely by Hermione, Ron , and the rest of the Weasleys. "Where's Harry?" Ginny asks. "He'll be here soon. he's chatting with someone" Fred says. "Let's go find a seat" Hermione says dragging me on the train.

We find a seat for the four of us, sitting down. "Its quite cold" I say wrapping my coat around me. "Just a bit" Hermione giggles. "So, who is Harry talking to?" I ask. "Oh, I'm not sure, I assumed he told you" She said. "No, maybe Ron knows" I say as the boy walks in. "I know what?" He asks. "Who's Harry talking to?" I ask. "Not sure, why?" He asks "No reason, just wondering" I said.

"Speaking of Harry" Hermione starts. "What do you think of him?" She whispers. "What do you mean?" I ask. "Like, do you feel a certain way for him?" she asks. "I mean, we're great friends, is that what you're asking??" I asked. "No, like, are you attracted to him?" She says bluntly. "Oh.. No, I mean he's attractive, but I wouldn't say I fancy him" I said, my face heating up.

"Your face says otherwise" Hermione says poking my cheeks. "Whatever" I said taking my coat off. "Is the sun hitting us?" I asked fanning myself. The two giggle as Harry walks in sitting by Ron. He yawns before speaking "Sorry I took so long"

"You tired?" Ron asks. "No" Harry says. "Who were you talking to?" I ask. "Sirius" He whispers. "Oh, what'd you talk about?" I ask. "I'll tell you guys later" He says. It became quiet quickly as Harry falls asleep against the window, and rain began to fall. We were halfway there when Harry wakes up gasping. We all turn our attention to the boy "Are you okay?" I ask frantically. "Yeah, sorry bad dream" He says.

"Here we are!" Ron says. We walk off the train and walk towards the school in the dark. "I'm surprised the Ministry's still letting you walk around free." Hermione says. "Better enjoy it while you can. I expect there's a cell in Azkaban with your name on it."Ron says

"What'd I tell you? Complete nutter." Malfoy says passing us. "Just stay away from me!" Harry says. "It's only Malfoy." I say. "What'd you expect?"

"Hi, guys." Neville says. "Hey, Neville." We all say. The five of us walk towards a carriage pulling itself. "What is it?" Harry asked. "What's what?" I ask. "That. Pulling the carriage." He says pointing to the air.

"Nothing's pulling the carriage, Harry." Hermione says. "It's pulling itself, like always." Ron adds. "You're not going mad. I can see them too." A blonde says. "You're just as sane as I am."

"Everyone, this is Loony Love..." Neville starts. "Luna Lovegood." She says. "What an interesting necklace." I say. "It's a charm, actually." She smiles.

"Keeps away the Nargles."

"What's a Nargle?" I ask. "No idea." She says. The six of us enter the school and take our seats in the great hall. Draco scoots next to me "I need to talk to you" He says. "Why?" I ask. "My parents just told me something, and you should know too" He says uncomfortably. "Fine, after dinner" I said. "Good evening, children." Dumbledore says. "Now, we have two changes in staffing this year."

"We're pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly-Plank who'll be taking Care, has brought something new to this historic school" He says a lady in pink following him ."progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged." She says. "Let us preserve what must be preserved perfect what can be perfected and prune practices that ought to be prohibited."

"Thank you, Professor Umbridge. That really was most illuminating." He says.

As Dumbledore concludes his announcements we all begin to eat. "Y/N, I really need to tell you now" Draco pleads. "Fine, what?" I ask. "Your mum is Bellatrix Lestrange right?" He says. I nod, letting him continue. "Well, your mum's sister, is my mum" He says. "So, we're cousins"
