Hey! It's Katie once again! OK, this is an idea that is pretty simple. It's a H/Hr shipping fic. The Horror! It takes place during school, and I don't even want to specify the year, cause that's what everybody does, and there's only one more unknown year left. So I shall make my own! Gist of the story:

Harry and Hermione are beginning to notice each other after Ron and Hermione's break-up. Luckily, they were able to remain friends. Hermione and Ron try to go their seperate ways, but Harry wants Hermione to be his. Hermione hooks up with different people, and so does Ron. Harry comes close to hooking up with Ginny, but what shall happen?

"Look, it's Hermione!" Was the cry that rang from the Hogwarts Express. Hermione glanced at the cars to find Harry and Ron waving at her. She smiled and waved back.

She did something different to her hair... The thought raced through Harry's mind. He felt something stir inside of him. She's gorgeous....wait, Hermione's my best friend!

"Hey boys, what's up?" She gave Ron a brief hug, then turned to Harry. Harry stared at her, bewildered by her change. She looked lovely. Her hair framed her face gently. The mascara that had been applied showed off her hazel eyes, and her clothes weren't so nerdy....she looked hot!

Harry began to lean foward, and close his eyes. His lips hit the cold hard glass, and earned him a funny look from Hermione.

"Wow Harry...I don't even want to know about your summer now." She sat down next to Ron, and Ron put an arm around her.

"But I do. How was it Harry?"

"Lonely." Harry sighed and looked out the window. He wanted to believe that he didn't begrudge Ron snogging Hermione, but he couldn't help but be jealous.

What was the matter with him?

Hope it get's up!

The train finally arrived at Hogwarts. Hermione, Harry, and Ron got off and choose a carriage together when Hagrid called Ron.

"Oy! Ron! D'you mind helpin' me wi' the firs' years?"

"Alright Hagrid. See you all up there." Ron said, and left. It was just Harry and Hermione. Harry began to sweat.

"So Harry, how was your summer?" Hermione asked while staring out the carriage window.

"A-alright. How was yours?"

"Well, Ron and I saw alot of each other, naturally. But I missed you Harry. Why didn't you answer any of my owls?"

"Oh....I was busy." Harry lied. But he knew the reason. He had been corresponding alot with Sirius. "With writing to Sirius and all."

"So he's alright then?" Hermione asked, unaware of Harry's growing sense of discomfort.

"Yea." Harry remained silent. Hermione kept shooting him strange looks, but didn't say anything until they were almost there.

"Harry, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Harry answered immediately. Hermione raised her eyebrows.

"Nothing? Good job Harry, but it didn't work." Harry jumped, then looked at her.

"What do you mean?"

"Only that-" Just then the carriage stopped. They had arrived at Hogwarts. Harry leaped out of the car, then helped Hermione out. Muttering a spell, he made her trip, giving him the opportunity to catch her. Man, did she feel wonderful in his arms.

"Harry? You can let go now." Hermione said. Harry jerked himself away from her. "Are you sure you're ok?"

"Positive. Look, there's Ron." Ron came by, waving. He kissed Hermione and the three of them entered Hogwarts.

I'm sorry it's short!

Katie

harry has issues...but its a great story so far! it'll pick up...trust me!!!

Harry made sure to distance himself from Hermione. The last thing he wanted was to get into a fight with Ron. Besides, there were other girls at Hogwarts. Surely there must be somebody-

"Hey Harry, how was your summer?" A pretty Gryffindor sat down next to him.

"Erm, it was fine. Excuse me, but what's your name?" Harry asked politely.

"My name is Candi Summers. And you don't really know me, because I've been away for a while. How are you?"

"Just fine....fine." Harry tried to ignore Hermione and Ron snogging. Candi noticed his discomfort.

"Ron and Hermione?"

"How'd you know?" Harry asked, suprised that she had figured it out so quickly.

"Please, everyone knew those two were going to end up dating. It was only a matter of time. Besides, what about you and Cho?"

"Over." Harry said quickly. Candi tossed her long black hair over her shoulder and laughed.

"Not your type?"

"You could say that. How on Earth do you know so much about me?" Harry was dying to find out.

"Well, I'm good friends with Ginny Weasley. Even though I'm older than her. Your year actually. When I'm away, we write to each other, and she tells me just about everything." Harry smiled, and Candi patted him on the back.

"What was that for?"

"Encouragement. You look like you need it. Don't worry, nothing lasts forever Harry."

Harry and Candi sat next to each other during the feast, and got to know each other. Ron and Hermione were too busy going at it to care anyway. By the end of the evening, Harry had made a friend and ally.

"So how long d'you think they'll go at it?" Harry asked Candi as they made their way to the Common Room.

"Oh...I'd say maybe till....after New Years? They did spend most of their time fighting, right?"

"Yea, but now it's snogging. Whipping Sticks." Harry said to the Fat Lady, who allowed them to enter.

"Well, I wouldn't worry about it Harry. See you in the morning." Candi made her way up to the girls dorm, and Harry to his. He paused, reflecting on the evening. Although they had talked about her alot, Harry found he hadn't thought of Hermione all evening.

"Maybe...I shouldn't worry about it." He mused to himself, then saw Ron and Hermione come in, holding hands. "Good feelings gone." He was feeling jealous again.

Ron soon came up, and Harry didn't feel like talking when he did. Ron climbed into bed.

"Harry...my life couldn't have gotten better."

"Good Ron. I'm glad you've found someone." Harry said rather shortly. He rolled over and pretended to fall asleep. Soon Ron was fast asleep, and his snores filled Harry's mind and thoughts until he too, was dreaming.

Katie

That was great!Candi creeps me out a little,lol.

PAMS.

♥Lisa♥

awww awesome postiess
i feel kinda bad for harry haha
uh oh... Cindi sure knows a lot haha
eekkk can't wait for more
-aannnaa<333

Why? That's silly!

OMG People are afraid of Candi! She's not evil people!....yet

Katie

Hehe. I love that post! It is kinda creepy how Cindi knows that stuff, other than the fact she got it from Ginny. And when you say she's not evil...yet, are you joking or being serious?

Can't wait for more!

Harry and Ron made their way down to the Great Hall, where Hermione was waiting. Just then, Candi came down as well, and Harry stopped to wait.

"Hey Harry, sleep well?" She asked and walked with him.

"Pretty well, how about you?"

"Oh, just fine, I usually sleep well at night." They sat down next to each other in the Great Hall. Ron and Hermione were a few places away, but moved over when they saw Harry's new friend.

"Who's your friend Harry?" Hermione asked.

"I'm Candi Summers. I met Harry yesterday, while you two were snogging." Candi said bluntly, but not unkindly.

"Yea well, people do that. How come I've never seen you before?" Ron asked, his ears slightly red.

"I've been away. I know who you are though, Ronald Weasley." Candi took a bite out of the bacon on her plate.

"How?" Ron asked incredulously. Hermione took some toast out of the basket and handed one to Harry.

"I correspond with your sister, Ginny." Candi said nonchalantly, and drank some orange juice.

"So that's what was with all those owls..." Ron mused as the students got their schedules.

"Oh Ron! Double Potions, Double Transfiguration, Divination, Charms, History of Magic, and...oh good, a free period at the end, we're gonna need that." Harry exclaimed, then sighed with relief.

"Well, we might as well get started. Candi, do you want to walk with us?" Hermione offered, taking Ron's hand. Candi looked at her. Harry suddenly realized that she looked strangely like Luna Lovegood. But the feeling soon passed.

"Love to."

*****

Harry and Candi spent most of the time talking. Ron and Hermione tried to get words in here and there, but everyone could tell they had something going on. However, it was all a bluff.

"Muffalio" Harry muttered in Charms, so the two of them could really talk.

"So, how do you think I can win back Hermione?"

"Back? Harry, you never had her." Candi had a rather straightfoward way of saying things.

"Whatever. The point is, they're pretty comfortable with each other."

"Damn." Harry said, watching them. "But....Ron'd understand if I told him, right?"

"WRONG! Don't EVER tell him! It could break your friendship." Candi warned him.

OK, that's enough, I have to leave you!

Katie

Katie

"Candi, if Ron's my friend, he'll understand-" Harry began. Candi leaned foward in her chair and grasped Harry's shoulder.

"Listen to me Harry. I don't think you understand. They're in love. Messing with love is almost as bad as messing with time. the wrong people end up together in the end, and life is hell afterwards." Candi leaned back on her chair wearily and let go of Harry.

"I think you're right Candi." Harry admitted after a few moments. "But then...does that mean there's no hope?"

"Not exactly. There has to be dozens of situations like this every day. We'll have to go to the library to figure this out." Harry groaned.

"You're just like Hermione! Always going to the library."

"Well, maybe you should try it, it's quiet and refreshing there." Candi said, and vanished the spell around them.

"Hey! How did you do that?" Harry exclaimed. "That's a personal spell! How did you-"

"I know things. That's the bell." Candi was very good at diverting attention. Harry wasn't swayed, and stood back while she gathered her things. How much did he know about this girl? Practically nothing. How could he trust her? She knew magic he didn't.

Harry decided to be a little more cautious around her.

*****

After History of Magic, where they were assigned an essay about the History of the Magic Carpet and How it was Banned and Why, Candi dragged Harry to the library.

"Aw Candi....I hate going in here." Harry grumbled. "Look, it's perfect Quiddich weather outside."

"Stop whining Harry. Do you want Hermione or not?" That shut him up. She sat him down in front of a pile of books she had already retrieved. "Start looking in here. Check the indexes. We're looking for anything involving romance crisises."

"Alright. What are you going to do?" Harry asked while flipping through one.

"I'm going into the Restricted Section. See what I can find. If I'm done before you, I'll help you. Then...you can show me how to play Quiddich." She added shyly.

"You don't know how to play Quiddich? But...you know everything!" Harry was amazed.

"Well, not everyone's perfect. Start cracking." She disappeared behind a wall of books.

After an hour, they admitted potential defeat.

"There are too many books to look at right now. We'll look again tomorrow for an hour, then we'll break for Quiddich. Deal?"

"This will be regular?" Harry asked hopefully. Cand nodded. "Then let's go fin you a broom!"

*****

Harry handed Candi a broom.

"This? This is supposed to carry my fat *ss?" Candi looked at it mistrustfully.

"You're not fat. And yes, it will. Now, mount it." Harry straddled his broomstick, and motioned for Candi to do the same. "Good. Now, kick off from the ground."

Candi kicked hard, and flew straight into the air.

"WEEEEEE!!!!" Candi shrieked as she whizzed through the air. Harry grinned to see her soar. "Wait, how do I get down?"

"Just lean foward! It'll go down on it's own."

Candi landed with little grace, but a huge grin lit up her face. "Harry, that was amazing!"

"Now, watch this." Harry mounted his Firebolt and took off. He circled around the Quiddich hoops, did a few loop-di-loops, and ended by zooming around Candi in a circle a few times.

"Wow..." That was all she could manage. Harry landed safely beside her. Before they both could think about it, they kissed.

There!

Katie

LOL! That sounds like me and my friends! We always joke around like that!

And...WHAT!? They weren't suppose to kiss! What about Hermione! Harry you idiot! You want Hermione!
*hits Harry on the head*
I wonder how Ginny is going to get thrown into all of this? Harry wants Hermione but he kissed Candi...where does Ginny come up?
But Harry needs to get with Mione!

Post more soon! I love this story!

~Emma

Awww.thats was so cute.But sis,I'm confused.I thought this was a H/Hr FF,not a H/C FF!Doesn't really matter, 'cuz Harry and Candie look uber cute together.

♥Lisa♥

Candi was the first to pull away. Harry looked at her guiltily.

"Erm...sorry about that."

"No problem. There's something about a guy on a broomstick that appeals to me too. Now, about your problem...." Harry grasped it like a drowning man. They went back to the Common Room, talking about Hermione and Ron.

After dinner, Harry stayed in the Common Room while Candi went upstairs to take a shower. Just then, Ginny came through the portrait hole. Harry sat up straighter.

"Hey Harry, where's Candi?" She asked, and sat next to him.

"Upstairs. She's taking a shower."

"Oh yea?"

"Yea." There was an awkward pause. Harry started to fidget. Ginny cleared her throat.

"So...do you like her?"

"She's ok." Harry said simply. Ginny rolled her eyes.

"I mean....would you want to date her?" Harry shook his head.

"She's alright, but not for me."

"So then....who is for you?" Harry and Ginny got up and looked into each other's eyes.

"I'm...getting the feeling...that you think you're qualified. Correct?"

"Maybe." Ginny gave a sly smile. "You don't need Legilimacy to tell you that Harry."

"Maybe, maybe not." Harry said, and kissed Ginny just as Ron and Hermione came through the portrait hole.

*****

"What the bloody hell is going on?" Ron shouted so loud that several first years jumped, then ran off.

"Ron, calm down-" Hermione started.

"NO! Harry! What gives? I thought you were my friend?"

"Ron, this has nothing to do with friendship." Harry said. Ron waved him off and flicked The Finger at him.

"I should hope that my best friend would know to keep his bloody paws off my sister!"

"Ronald Weasley, I can kiss any boy I feel like!" Ginny roared at Ron. "And I feel like kissing Harry. Maybe even...snogging." Ginny shivered in fear, then grabbed Harry.

"Where are you going?" Hermione asked them.

"OUT!" Ginny said firmly, and dragged Harry out the Common Room.

Katie

Ahahahah! that was so cute.I need some H/Hr going on! please!

♥Lisa♥

Whoa! So that's how Ginny gets thrown in!
That's great that Harry is a magnet with girls now but he need to get Hermione!
