AN: Im pretending Luna is in the same year in this fiction.

Disclaimer: I dont own Harry Potter

When Harry awoke his head was pounding, remembering the headache potion he took it, he gulped, he was supposed to be at lessons today as well as Quiditch practice. He climbed out of his bed and started putting his school robes on, once he'd finished he looked at Padfoot.

"Heya Padfoot," he said smiling before leaving his room to see Remus waiting for him so they could go to breakfast. Harry was staving, mainly due to the fact he hardly ate a thing yesterday, but in the same way he wasn't hungry as he'd have to face everyone.

"Ready?" Remus asked looking at him, Harry nodded, the tiny figure of Ron in his pocket along with some pins. He followed Remus into the Great Hall and sat next to Hermione.

Everyone turned to stare at him, he glared at the floor icily, Hermione reached for Harry's hand and held it.

"Its ok, ignore them," she whispered. Doing what she said, he reached for a slice of toast and ate some of it, most people stopped staring. He hurried to finish eating before walking with Hermione to the common room and sitting down. Only a couple of people were there, some first years and Lavender, the first years dashed and Lavender let out a mini scream before disappearing.

Harry sighed and looked at Hermione.

"I hate this," he declared, "what class first?"

"DADA with the Ravenclaws," she responded instantly.

"Beats having it with Slytherin." After he spoke a first year who looked terrified dashed in and passed a note to them.

"Whats it say?" Hermione asked.

"He wants to talk to me in his office after lessons," he said, "great another reason this is a terrible day." Annoyed he pulled out the voodoo doll and started stabbing it, reaching for his hands she looked at him.

"Harry your an amazing person, you'll get over this."

With that she reached in to kiss his lips and he kissed back, they were in full kissing mode when George walked in.

"Ok..." he said before picking a random wizard camera up and snapping pictures, it was then that they stopped reliesing what was going on.

"Took your time getting together," George commented before running for it. As soon as he started moving Harry and Hermione ran after him.

"Get back here George!" they yelled running after him, it was a strange sight, them holding hands whilst running after a redhead. They eventually found themselves outside the DADA classrooms, where Remus was waiting outside for the class.

"Sorry Sir," they gushed, they noticed his eyes drop to their entwined hands and Hermione blushed.

"Just like James," he said thoughtfully, "come in the others will be arriving soon."

They smiled as they walked into the classroom before sitting at a desk, glancing at his textbook, he figured out what they'd be studying.

"Professor, we're studying dueling right?"

"Yes, theory and practical. Practical today, if Im correct Professor Snape taught theory yesterday. Harry I take it you've already read the chapter?" Harry nodded.

"Great, come in class, wands out." The class all piled in sitting down, noticeably as far away from Harry as possible, however Luna came to sit on his spare side, and Cho behind him.

"Hey Harry," Luna said smiling.

"Hey Luna," he responded.

"Right class," Remus said, "I take it Professor Snape took you through the theory of dueling yesterday so today we will be going through the practical. Some will find it easier than others, I'd like two volunteers to demonstrate basic dueling. The winner will be the one who manages to take the other persons wand first, but no using Expelliarmus."

Three people rose their hands; Hermione, Luna and Cho, finally Harry rose his hand.

"Hermione vs Harry and then Luna vs Cho," the class was informed as the first pair stood on the stadium.

"Ready?"

"Yes," they aggreded nodding, their wands at the ready.

Harry didn't keep still instead he kept moving side to side before casting Aguamenti so water gushed at Hermione, however she repelled it with Impervius. They continued with one casting a spell and one deflecting it till Hermione was hit with the Leg locker spell allowing Harry to take her wand, declaring him the winner. Undoing the spell he passed her back her wand before giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before walking back to their seats. Ron gripped the edge of his chair in anger, he though Hermione should be his.

They watched the strange duel between Cho and Luna before listening to the explanations of how certain spells can work in defense before practicing them with a partner.

When the lesson was finally over, they had transfiguration with the Slytherins, as Harry and Hermione walked to class people were staring, it was guarenteed Rita Skitter would have the fact they were dating in the news the next day.

The rest of the day rushed past till finally it was time for Harry to speak with Dumbledore.
