Seeing Past Old Problems
By: Cherry Miller
Chapter One
Harry looked out the window desperately for Hedwig with a reply from Hermione, he'd written to her a few days before. He was board; he had been stranded at the Borrow for the whole morning with nothing to do. Harry had nothing better to do so he decided to write a note to Sirius. Sirius had been in hiding for nearly three years now, and that meant Harry would be turning sixteen soon. Harry was happy, there was no other place he'd rather be for the summer then the Borrow, he only wished one of the family members were there to talk to. He lay back on his bed in Ron's small room looking at the ceiling. He turned over a little while later; he swore he heard some one down stairs. Harry got up slowly walked to Ron's door, and then headed down towards where the noise was. He peeked his head around the corner looking into the kitchen. He was surprised to see Hedwig; she was eating a piece of toast one of the Weasley's had left out that morning. Harry walked over to the table and sat down where Fred had been only a few hours earlier.
"Hedwig, come here girl, when did you get back?" asked Harry, as Hedwig flew over to him.
"Thanks girl, now I need you to take this letter to Sirius okay?" she hooted happily at him.
Harry tied the letter around Hedwig's leg, than watched her fly back out the window. He picked up the one from Hermione, and slit it open to get ready to read it.
Hey Harry,
It was good to here from you and Ron. You to better be behaving, haven't got into to much trouble have you? Well tell Ginny and the others I said hello. I'm getting so board we haven't done anything this summer so there's not much to do here. Oh, by the way tell Mrs. Weasley's that I'll be there some time at the end of the month, Thanks. So Harry how are you? Have you heard when we get back to school were spouse to get eight new trade students, I'm so excited I cant wait to meet them. Let me know how you are anyways. Love, Hermione
"Exchange students, eight of them...I wonder who they are?" said Harry as he sat in the back yard talking with Fred, George, and Ron.
"Wonder if any of them are girls." said Ron.
"Ron, I thought you liked Hermione!" said Harry looking up shocked.
"RON, Hermione!" "Honestly haven't me and George thought you any thing." said Fred.
"Oh shut up, I gave up on her at the end of last year she doesn't like me anyways, she's in love with Justin," said Ron looking at the ground.
"Ahh well at least she finally found some thing else she can be paranoid over other than school work," George said as they started to laugh.
The next week went by pretty fast for Harry as he waited for his birthday, and it was down to one day before. He was happy he was finally turning sixteen, and he had the greatest friends around. Harry woke up the next morning, he was sixteen today thank god he was so happy he couldn't believe it. He turned over on his side to see that Ron had already gotten up, and was gone. Harry got dressed, and then made his way down the stairs two at a time, hoping to meet Ron at the bottom.
"Good morning Harry dear." said Mrs. Weasley happily.
"Morning." he said yawning as he walked in the room.
"Happy birthday, the boys should be back soon they ran off to Diagon Alley for something," she said busying her self with a pan of bacon.
"Thank you, I wonder have you heard from Hermione lately?" asked Harry looking at his food.
"Oh, yes, she said she should be here by the end of next week. Oh where are those boys of mine they should be back by now?" he nodded smiled watching the dishes do them self's.
"Harry dear...here comes Hedwig...it looks like the boys are on there way home as well," she said walking past the clock.
It had been a week since he'd sent Sirius his note, and now he'd had finally wrote back. Hedwig flew in and sat on Harry's shoulder as he untied the letter from her leg, nipped at his ear and flew off again.
"Urgh, see if I ever go any where with George and Fred again, they kept disapparating on me, you know how annoying that is do you?" asked Ron stepping out of the fireplace.
"Well, where are they then Ron?" asked Mrs. Weasley looking at Ron.
"I dunno, like I said they kept disapparating so I came back with out them...hello Harry." he said taking a seat beside him.
"Hey Ron, had fun with Fred and George I presume." said Harry smiling at him.
"Some one mention us?" asked George as they showed up with a small pop.
"George, Fred, honestly how many times do I have to tell you not to disapparate on you brother when he's with you?" asked Mrs. Weasley looking at the boys.
"Oh mum, we were just messin' with him," said George smiling.
"We do it to all the guys younger than us, we just like having fun with them," Fred said looking over at her.
"Well here you go Harry, one more year and you'll be able to apparate with us," said Fred handing him a bag.
"Thanks...what's in it?" asked Harry as Ron started laughing.
"Come on open it...it wont hurt you its only some candy." said Ron seeing the look on Harry's face.
"Oh... thanks guys, I didn't know I thought it might be one of Fred and Georges new experiments," he said looking in the bag.
"Here you go Harry, thought you'd be expecting a new one, can't imagine the old one fits you anymore." said Mrs. Weasley handing him a ruby red sweater.
"Thanks Mrs. Weasley my old one was getting a bit to small." he said laying it on the table.
"Whose the letter from Harry?" asked George seeing it on the table.
"I figure its from Sirius, guess I should open it though," he said picking it up.
Hello Harry happy sixteenth birthday, glad to here you are doing well. I got you a book, but I'll send it to you at a later time, tell Ron and Hermione I said hello, I'm still in the same place of coarse. Hope you decide to come again for Christmas, Hermione and Ron are welcome to come to if they like. Well write me again later to tell me how your birthday goes. Sirius
"Well same thing, happy birthday, hope to see you soon, and so on, didn't mention anything about the new exchange students. I'd like to know more about them, I'm curious," said Harry.
"You know it's a shame we don't get the Prophet anymore, I want to see the article about the new students also." said Ron looking at Ginny who just walked in.
"Its not in the Prophet, its in the Weekly, hello Ginny." said Harry.
"Hello Harry, happy birthday," she said.
"Oh hold on Ronnie kins mum gets the weekly," George said walking off and reappearing a minute later.
"Why do you want to see that article anyways?" asked Harry, as he watched Ron flip through the paper.
"I want to see what the big fuss is all about we've gotten new students before...here it is." he said looking down.
"Well here we are, go ahead and read it Ron," said Fred sitting on the other side of Harry, looking at Ron.
It has come to our attention, and Dumbledore spoke on it that yes indeed Hogwarts will be receiving eight new transfer students from the states. Dumbledore states that their not in the same league as are students, but indeed father along then most of our students now, and they are coming to us for Wilcox Academy in the USA. Yet they will be treated with the same respect and rules as everyone else here. To my understanding they've been split up into the four Hogwarts houses 1 boy and 1 girl to each house. Unlike the Prophet that noted this was not important, yet a lot of the country will indeed think it is. 'This is a great honor for Hogwarts to be taking in these students, it is in deed the first time we've heard of students from the United States wanting to transfer here. With great pride the teachers and staff are honored to have them coming.' 'They'll be in there sixth year so they'll really get to see what Hogwarts is like' says one of the teachers. So it seems the only thing to say is good luck for everything they'll go through, and we promise that Hogwarts can and will show what a good school it indeed is.
"Oh, I'd love to be back at Hogwarts this year, she's pretty hot." said Fred pointing to a girl named Debra Russell.
"Fred your crazy, she's cuter," said George pointing his wand at Cherry Miller.
"Your both wrong, Claire's the prettiest," said Harry glancing at the picture.
"I disagree with all of you... I like Mya personally. What do you think Ginny?" said Ron looking at the picture of the eight.
"Greg's pretty cute, and Adam." She said.
"Which two do you think are going to be in Gryffindor?" Asked Ron throwing the paper at Harry.
"I dunno, its defiantly not these to though, they look like they'd belong to Slytherin, Jason and Cherry do." said Harry throwing the paper back at Ron who looked down at it.
"It's these two right here, Mya Evans and Adam Green," said a familiar voice.
"Thanks Hermione, ...Hermione! You're here early," said Ron surprised.
"Yeah I am, hello Fred, George, Ginny, Harry happy birthday, I got you a..." she started.
"You got me a book, and its with your things upstairs, so which house do the rest go to?" asked Harry.
"Well Harry, you were right Jason and Cherry are indeed in Slytherin." George sighed.
"Another good one goes down the drain," he said shaking his head. "Debra and Steven in Ravenclaw, and Claire and Greg in Hufflepuff." she said sitting next Ron.
"Hermione, when do we go back to school?" asked Ron.
"Honestly Ron, its been the same day every year, September first/eight we journey back again, its sad though only one more year after this one." she said leaning on Ron's shoulder.
"So we still have one month left." "One month with out Malfoy." said Harry, this was always an upper point for his summer.
"You're right Harry, that's a good point." said Ron.
"Really you two why do you still fight with him there's no point in it at all," Said Hermione.
"Yes there is, we have fun fighting with him don't worry about it Hermione. We already know you disagree with us fighting with him," Ron said slowly.
"Well come on, lets find something to do for the rest of the day." said Fred to George and they disapparated again.
"Well, we might as well find something to do to, while we're at it," said Harry getting up from the table.
"Ginny you want to come with us?" asked Hermione turning to her.
"Sure if its okay with Harry and Ron." Ginny answered.
"Its fine with us, we don't care now come on if your coming." Said Ron.
The three told Mrs. Weasley that they were going out to find something to do, and they headed out the door a few minutes later.
