The train ride to Hogwarts is made that little bit more eventful by the arrival of a large dragon intent on doing little more than sleeping, at least until McGonagall accidentally wakes it up, much to Harry's horror.

The first of many very different days can now begin as Hogwarts gears up for another year. As usual though, classes represent the least interesting part of the day. (A quick warning, a lot of work has gone into introducing new teachers. I dont intend to always focus on lessons so much so hopefully the fic wont be too boring. ;))

Following Hermione's ultimatum, Harry finds himself both more certain and more confused about how he feels than ever before. And with the interference of Cho his problems with girls finally reach the epitome of ironic good luck. Professor Bell also makes his entrance with a lesson that seems more like home economics then care of magical creatures.
