A/N- Okay before I get lots of people saying what is mum, I may mention that I am from England, and so is Hogwarts, so they would say mum instead of mom. Like me ;) So I hope you enjoy it ;)

First Years View on the Deathly Hallows.

My name is Georgie Vane. I turned eleven a few days before I got my admission letter to Hogwarts. I was surprised that Hogwarts was even open this year, as one of my older sisters had told me about the battle that had happened, and the infamous headteacher, Dumbledore had been killed by the his most trusted employee, Professor Snape. I was even more surprised to hear that the latter had taken over the role of Headmaster. I was lucky enough to be a pure blood wizard, but I wasn't a muggle born hater. In fact I thought that everyone should get a chance to learn magic, but I knew that while I was at the school I should not let my thoughts be heard. I was scared about going, but I was glad that I had my two sisters there with me. Romilda and Emma. Emma was in her last year now and Romilda was in her 5th. Emma ran down stairs with her letter about the three N.E.W.T's that she had taken early last year.

"I got an outstanding in every exam except Transfiguration, I got an exceed expectations in that! And I am a Prefect again!" she said happily, waving the letter around. Romilda was sat on the sofa reading a book about love potions, looking like she was in one of her bad moods.

"Like it will even matter this year. Have either of you two read the requirements list?" she said, and by the confused looks me and Emma gave her it was obvious that we hadn't. "Lets just say that I think Harry Potter had a point, with Snape being a death eater."

"Ooo Harry Potter!" Emma said giggling. It wasn't a secret that Romilda used to have a massive crush on him.

"Oh just shut it Emma, he is with Ginny Weasley now so it doesn't matter!" she snapped. "Now like I was saying, I don't think that we will be doing defence against the dark arts this year." as soon as she finished Emma's face dropped.

"What? That was my favourite lesson! How do you know?" she asked in shock.

"There is no defence against the dark arts book on my list, but there is a book called, The Basics of Deadly Curses by Morgana Le Fay."

"The Morgana Le Fay?" I asked, referring to the famous deadly witch.

"No the other one!" Romilda replied rolling her eyes, "Of course her!" I pulled out my equipment list to see what my books were.

"I don't have one..." I said after reading it three times.

"What do you mean you don't have one?" Romilda asked, probably thinking that I had just skimmed over it.

"Let me read it," said Emma glaring at Romilda. Emma was always on my side, and she was always logical about everything. I suppose she would have to be as she was a Ravenclaw. Romilda was a Gryffindor, and even though I liked Emma a bit more than my other sister, I didn't really want to be in Ravenclaw. I wasn't smart enough for it at all. After Emma had read it for a couple of minutes Romilda piped up.

"So, what is the verdict, oh smart one..." she said sarcastically.

"She is right, no book about any Dark Arts, or defending yourself against them either!" she said really confused as she read it again.

"Strange eh... Oh have you heard about Cormac McLaggen?" Romilda said going back to her usual gossipy self.

"No, isn't he the one who hit Harry Potter with a bludger?" Emma asked, as if she wasn't sure who he was, but her voice had hitched a bit, and I knew that he was the lad she had a crush on. She was always talking to me about an older lad, who was apparently hot to her. I wasn't really into lads so I usually blanked out when she told me.

"The very same, well he was suppose to leave last year but he failed all of his N.E.W.T's and is resitting them all this year!" Romilda said giggling. It was a known fact that most Gryffindor's disliked him after he ruined their chance of winning against Hufflepuff. While my sisters chatted about him my mum walked in with a worried expression on her face. They both became utterly silent. Mum was hardly ever serious, even at the worst of times.

"Girls, I need to have a word with you," she said, causing all of us to look at each other to see if the others knew what was up, "Can you remember Nymphadora Tonks?" she asked us. Romilda and Emma nodded. I was probably too young to remember her so I decide to just let my mum carry on.

"Well, she was kind enough to inform us that..." she took a deep intake of breath and closed her eyes momentarily, as if not knowing what to say. "that the Ministry has been infiltrated by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named... I don't know whether it is safe to send you three to Hogwarts this year. They are saying that you must go unless you are muggle born, but we could easily go on the run" she said with a serious look. Instantly me, Romilda and Emma started arguing. I had been wanting to go to Hogwarts since I was four, when Emma had started, and I was not going to back out now, no matter how hard it would be. I think the reasons Emma and Romilda wanted to go back was boys. Romilda had been reading a love potion book, so I think there was going to be another unlucky victim in her sights.

"Girls, I know that you have reasons to go back, but I just want you to be safe!" she looked at us all with pleading eyes. I loved my mum dearly, but this was something I wasn't going to budge on. She let out an aspirated sigh and nodded.

"Thanks mum! Me and Romilda will look after Georgie, we promise don't we?" Emma turned to our sister.

"Yeah! We swear on our lives!" Romilda said all in one breath.

"Wait a second! I don't need looking after! It's not like I will be in danger! I will be at Hogwarts, which is like the safest place in the world, so you don't need to protect me!" I said angrily. Romilda looked like she was going to burst out laughing so I threw a hairbrush that was on a nearby table at her.

"Georgie! Next time you get angry ask me to do it! I am seventeen so I can do it with magic!" Emma said laughing. Romilda's expression had turned from humorous to annoyed. Even my mum couldn't stifle a giggle no matter how hard she tried.

"So what equipment do you guys need then, I need to go to Hogsmeade to meet some people next week, so I will get everything and you can just get your robes in September."

"And my wand!" I chirped in.

"Course Georgie, cant forget that can we! You would be a pretty useless witch without one!" mum said smiling. She seemed to be less tense than she was before. I grabbed my equipment list, as did Romilda and Emma to give it to mum.

"If the ministry is run by You-Know-Who, then I don't think that Harry Potter will be coming back to Hogwarts will he?" Romilda said a bit disappointed.

"Well, it shouldn't bother you, because he is with Ginny Weasley!" Emma said to get on her nerves.

"Oh shut up! I am being serious! If Harry even gets on the Hogwarts Express then he will definitely be killed!" was the snappy reply.

"To be fair, I think that I'd be surprised if he returned." Emma said thinking about it. "Unless there is a reason he has to go back..." I decided to stay out of the conversation as it was starting to confuse me with me not knowing much about the school it self. I had learned all of my knowledge about it from my older sisters, who probably weren't the best of sources. I just hoped that the next couple of months would go fast... Unfortunately for me, they did.
