Chapter One: Compliments and the Start Of Term Feast
Disclaimer: Only the plot is mine. All else belongs to J.K Rowling, e.t.c.
Harry stepped on the train for his 7th year at Hogwarts. He hadn't seen Hermione or Ron but figured they'd be on the train together. He walked into the first compartment and sure enough, Ron was there with Hermione. Only it didn't look like the Hermione he knew. The girl sitting there was wearing black Dickies capri's and a short black spaghetti strap cami. Her eyes were outlined in thick, black eyeliner and a single black choker around here neck. And her formally bushy brown hair now cascaded
She looks hot, Harry thought. Realizing what he was thinking Harry's face turned a bright crimson.
No, Harry thought, She's my best friend.
That doesn't mean you cant think she's hot, The subconscious voice in his head replied.
Yes it does, He thought furiously.
"Harry, looking good," Ron joked. Its not like he was lying though. Harry had become a hottie. His black Hair was just as unruly as ever, he had a piercing in his right ear, and was dressed in a Volcom shirt, with black baggy pants with chains on them.
"You don't look too shabby yourself, Ron," Harry said taking a seat opposite of Hermione. Ron's hair shined a bright red that contrasted with his all black outfit. (A.N: The trio has gotten a little dark and depressed since the death of Sirius and the defeat of Voldemort.)
Hermione was sitting there staring into Harry's brilliant green eyes.
He looks so cute in black, she thought but quickly turned away from that line of thinking. She had liked Harry since 1st year and had always been too afraid to tell him. She was afraid of hurting there friendship. Besides, she told herself, He doesn't think of me that way
"So did you all have a good summer?" He asked, "Sorry I couldn't come to the Burrow, Ron, but Uncle Vernon wouldn't have let me back in the house ever if I had. But I'm sure you and 'Mione had a good time." He flashed a quick smile at Hermione. She felt her heart skip a beat.
" Oh, it was bloody brilliant!" Ron exclaimed, "You should have seen Hermione! We finally got her on a broom, and she was awesome! She'd make a decent chaser. Your going to try out, aren't you Herms'?
"Possibly," she answered without taking her eyes off Harry. I want him so bad, she thought.
An hour and a half later, they arrived at Hogwarts.
" Firs' years, ova here," called a familiar voice. The trio beamed up at Hagrid.
"Hello, Hagrid," said Hermione, "Did you have a nice summer?"
"Yes," he said and held out his hand, "I'm engage'!"
"Oh Hagrid, that's wonderful!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Yea, Hagrid," Harry said, "Awesome!"
"So who's the lucky girl?" Ron asked.
" You all remember Madam Maxine ,right?
"Oh, Hagrid congratulations." Hermione added, before they clambered into a carriage with Neville and Ginny. The carriages hold 8 so much to their dismay, Malfoy, was ushered in, followed by Crabbe and Goyle.
" Oh look it's the great bouncing ferret," Ron said, glaring at Malfoy.
"Sod off, Weasel. I only came in here because everywhere else is full," Malfoy said, " I would rather walk up to the castle then be in here with goody-two-shoes Potter and his mudblood slut. But sadly they wouldn't let me." God, that Granger looks hot, Malfoy thought and then mentally slapped himself for thinking such things.
"Whatever," Ron said and for the rest of the ride to the castle, he glared at Malfoy.
When they were all seated, and the first years had arrived, McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on its stool and stood back. With in moments the hat had broken into song.
Welcome, Welcome, to this place,
Where magic and mystery awaits,
Another year a Hogwarts School,
Where you ma find a ghost or goul,
I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat,
And many generations have put me on and sat,
Upon this stool where they will see,
There Magic's Destiny
You may belong in Gryfinndor
Where you can always hear a lion roar,
Or Slytherin, the noble house,
They are snakes but they wont eat a mouse,
Ravenclaw f is always fine,
If you have A's all in a straight line
Hufflepuf is strong and true,
They will always help you through,
So put me on and sit right down,
And your destiny will be handed down.
The whole room broke into applause at the end of the song, as Mcgonagall called the first name. Harry waited impatiently for the sorting to be over so he could eat. Finally, Mcgonagall called Zacuge, Gregg, who was sorted into Ravenclaw, rolled up the list and carried it away to the back room, along with the stool and hat.
Dumbledore stood up and coughed quite loudly. Instantly the room was silent.
" I have a few start of term notices. First of all the Forbidden Forest is off limits to all students. Mr. Filch has reminded me that no magic is allowed in the corridors. You are to be in your dormitories by nine. All students caught out of bed will receive 3 days detention.
Our Head Girl this year is Hermione Granger. Our Head Boy is Harry Potter. Prefects have been notified of their position and are asked to attend a meeting in the Charms classroom after dinner. Head students are invited to come sit at the High Table if it pleases them.
On another note, later this year we will be having 3 dances. We will have a Halloween Dance, a Yule Ball, and a Sweethearts dance for Valentines.So now enjoy the feast!"
" So, do you want ot go up there?" Harry asked Heremione.
"No, I'm perfectly happy where I am," she said and Harry blushed as snuggled in closer.Just because I like herdoesnt mean she like me,Harry thought.
Hermione couldn't belive what had happened. She was absolutly beaming. Head boy and Girl share a room.
