... inter-house group for all years, so I hope you'll all consider joining. We'll let you know when the first meeting is." Hermione nodded, as she wrapped up. "Now, it's getting late, and I'm sure you all want to settle in, so why don't you go up to your dormitories." The first years all scattered, and Harry and Hermione moved over to the chairs by the fireplace, where a group of students was gathered. It included Ron, Neville, and Ginny, in addition to several now second year students, and a few third years. Harry smiled at little Evan and Sheila, who were now proud to be second years. "Hey guys, how was your summer?" Evan grinned. "It was great," he chirped excitedly. "My parents were really pleased with my marks. They took me on holiday to France as a congratulations present."

Hermione was usually a very reserved person, and limited their actions to pecks on the cheek or lips, and handholding, when in view of other people. Not that she went much further when they were alone, but he knew she was a cautious person, and wanted to take their relationship slowly. "So where do you think Hagrid was?" Neville asked. Harry bit his lip. "I don't know, but the fact that Dumbledore didn't say indicates that he probably doesn't want any attention drawn to his absence." Hermione nodded. "Most likely, he's doing something for… you know," her voice dropped to a whisper as she leaned in, "the Order. You told us about it, Harry. Remus and Sirius even told you who some of the members are. Did they tell you if Hagrid's involved?"
