"Ouch! For crying out loud! If I run into one more person on these bloody stairs I'm going to scream!" I rubbed at my head furiously. The train leaves today and everyone is in a tizzy. Harry laughed, stood up, and offered me a hand.

"You already are dork!" He chuckled, looking down at me. I rolled my eyes, because obviously, he doesn't know how loud I can scream. "How many people have you ran into today anyway?"

"Oh I don't know. Lets see. Both the twins, Ginny, Natalyn, and Mione. Ron is avoiding me at all costs. He knows how I am when I get frustrated!" I crossed my arms, scowling at him. He laughed again, scratching the back of his neck and looking down at his trunk.

"Better than having to lug this thing up and down the stairs!" He groaned, this made me laugh. Until I looked at my own trunk, which I'm currently sitting on. I sighed myself. Then an idea hit me.

"Hey, wanna make this easier on both of us?" I asked, wiggling my eyebrows. He nodded his head, looking interested. "FRED! GEORGE!" I yelled, they came running down the stairs, looking scared. "Do me a favor?" I batted my eyes, trying to look cute.

"What?" The chorused, their tone sounding wary.

"Well, I know it's a lot to ask, but I figured since you guys have all that beater muscle, you could help Harry and I carry our trunks out?"

"Well of course little sister!" They smiled, lifting Harry and I's trunks. I turned to Harry with a smirk, who was looking at me in awe.

"How do you do that?"

"Actually." I looked over my shoulder to make sure they were far enough away. "They taught me!" I giggled, smiling at him. He shook his head with a smile.

"Lets go miss actress!" He took my hand and pulled me out the door.

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

We all made it to the platform fine, but guess who was last to go through the barrier? Ron and Harry. Guess who I haven't seen since the train took off? Ron and Harry. I bit my lip and looked out the window, where could they be?

"Aww, do you miss YOUR Harry Gracie?" Nat teased, they had all been watching me for the last ten minutes, but I just ignored them. Till now.

"No! I'm just worried!" I snapped, looking back at the three of them. Hermione looked as worried as I was. I don't see why can't she just admit she fancies Ron?

"Don't worry sis. Ron's missing too! Even I'm worried!" Ginny whispered, laying her head on my shoulder. I placed an arm around her and rested my head on hers. "I'm nervous too!" She whispered again, looking down at her shoes. I squeezed her shoulders, hoping it was comforting.

"About the sorting?" Even Natalyn looked nervous now, she was going to be sorted at the same time as Ginny was. Fred kissed her cheek, yes. He sat with us. And yes, he grew a pair and asked her out. When it happened, I don't know. But he's been with her ever since. He hardly leaves her side, same with George and Angelina.

"Don't worry love. You'll be fine!" He said, pulling her closer to him. She blushed, giggling a bit. I rolled my eyes, but at least he could do what Ron couldn't.

"Yes. About the sorting. Ron says they'll probably put me in Ravenclaw!" She said that like its the most horrible thing in the world. I rolled my eyes once again, great Ron. Just great.

"Don't worry Ginny. Your brave. And that outweighs the brains. You have to be brave and smart to get into Gryffindor. Go up to the hat with confidence. Be courageous. Okay?" I looked down at her, smiling. She looked back and gave me a hug.

"What if I get put in Slytherin?"

"Your to nice to be put in Slytherin. You hardly have any mean in you! And if you are, they'll have gained a wonderful new student. Okay?" She nodded again, looking happier than before. She hopped up, grabbing her robes.

"I'm going to change now!" I nodded and she skipped off. When I looked up, Angelina, Katie, and Oliver were standing in the door of the compartment.

"Your good with kids!" Oliver gave me a smile before sitting down beside Natalyn. Fred quickly lifted her onto his lap, giving Oliver a cold glare. Awe! How cute! And she's blushing! Hermione and I giggled. Katie sat beside me while Angelina mumbled something about going to find George. Probably to snog his face off!

"What's this about your Harry?" Fred asked, causing me to blush. Oliver looked at me with curiosity and Katie, Mione, and Natalyn were giggling, but Katie looked interested as well, even though she was there.

"I was introducing Harry to Nat and I meant to say my Best Friend. But I wasn't paying attention and just say my Harry. It was nothing!" I played it off with a shrug, but not a one of them looked fooled. Natalyn looked even more smug actually. I've determined that she's quite irritating, but I love her anyways.

"Sounds to me like you were staking a claim!" Katie elbowed me with a teasing grin. I rolled my eyes but I felt my face ignite none the less.

"Well I wasn't!"

"Yes you were!" Natalyn and Mione chorused, giving me am irritating little smirk. I hate it when they do that! I rolled my eyes and sunk down into my seat, hoping they'd drop the subject.

"So, do you fancy Harry?" Oliver asked, but he sounded scared to ask me. I looked over at him, but I also noticed that I wasn't the only one giving him a questioning look. Everyone was, and he was blushing.

"No. Harry's my best friend. Nothing more." I whispered, looking at my shoes. Nat came over and squeezed herself in beside me, Hermione did the same, pushing Katie out of the way. They wrapped their arms around me in a comforting way. I sighed and laid my head on Nat's shoulder and grabbed Mione's hand.

"I mean. Why would he like me anyway?" I whispered, hoping no one heard me, but of course they did. Natalyn, Hermione, and Katie all heard me. Even Ginny as she walked back in. She came over and hugged me, she didn't even have to ask to know I was talking about Harry.

"Fred. Boy I don't know. Out!" Natty snapped, effectively making them leave. Once they closed the compartment door, I started crying. Katie gave me a hug, but I think she felt awkward. At least that's what I got when she excused herself. We sat there in the seat, Ginny sitting across from us, all of them trying to comfort me. I don't even know why I'm crying. Harry's my best friend. Of course he doesn't like me! It'd be weird!

Of course someone had to see me. It would be just to good if they didn't. Draco threw the compartment door open with a smirk. "Where's Po- what's wrong?"

"Why do you care?" I snapped, looking up at him through tear filled eyes. I can't stop crying no matter how much I want to! He looked at me, face full of concern. He came over and sat by Ginny, who scooted closer to the window.

"We're still family Gracie. Even if we don't get along." He gave me a small smile then turned back to his cronies. "Crabbe, Goyle, out!" They left with out a word. "Now what's wrong?"

"Nothing Draco. I'm just a little upset. It's nothing!" I sat up wiping my eyes. He gave me a questioning look, but nodded anyway.

"See you around. Okay?" I nodded, smiling at him before he left. He stopped to whisper in Natalyn's ear, she nodded in response, giving him a small smile.

"Lets change!" Hermione handed Nat and I our robes and we changed right there, not caring who saw. As soon as we finished, we were there. I took a deep breath and got off the train. Home at last.
