A/n: I haven't been on fanfiction in a very long time, so I need to update my other fics as fast as possible. This is my first Harry Potter fic so please NO FLAMES!
Summary: Harry, Hermione and Ron are in their Sixth year at Hogwarts, but it's not what they expected. Hogwarts has new classes, new professors, and new love? HHr, DG, LunaRonLavender. Read and Review! No flames!
In the book, it was mentioned in Half-Blood Prince that Bill and Fleur were getting married. In this fic, Bill and Fleur's wedding was announced when Harry and the others were Fifth Years. So please, if you tell me that the wedding was only mentioned in Half-Blood Prince, please don't, because this is wanted this to happen in my fic. Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude or anything. :(
Also this fic is kind of like a mix of the movie verse and the book so if you see something that wasn't in the book, it was in the movie, and vice-versa.
I may not be able to update quickly, and I'm very sorry if I take a while :( For my other stories, which I haven't updated ever since...I think Thanksgiving, I am very sorry. School has been making me very busy and I went to my relatives house for a few weeks, and sadly, they didn't have a computer. So while I was there, I wrote ideas for the next chapters. And please, don't give up on my stories, because I will not be discontinued or forgotten!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter, or its characters, settings, and plot. I only own this fic! So please don't sue me or anything!
Anyway, let's start the story!
Title: Harry Potter's Sixth Year at Hogwarts
Chapter 1: The Burrow
A boy at the age of sixteen was lying in his bed asleep. His bangs were against his closed eyes, and the only motion that his body did was when he breathed. The boy's name was Harry Potter, and he was staying at his relatives, the Dursley's, house.
A few hours later, the sun had come up and through the clouds, and shone its light against Harry's face, causing his eyes to slowly open. He grabbed his glasses and put them on. Harry looked out the window from his bed, looking at the sun peeking through the cloudy sky. He sighed and slowly got out of bed, trying not to wake his relatives up. Harry quietly peeked open the door and heard Uncle Vernon snoring loudly. He laughed silently and closed the door. Harry's snowy owl, Hedwig, remained in her cage, and continued sleeping.
On the floor was a photo album that his friend, Hagrid, had given him in his first year at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry picked it up and opened it, looking at a picture of him with his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The pictures were moving, and he could see the three of them laughing and smiling. Harry smiled, looking at how he looked like before, and compared it to how he looked like now, since he was now a sixth year at Hogwarts. Harry put the photo album on the table and quickly changed his clothes.
He finished quickly and got back on his bed, thinking about how Ron and Hermione would look like now. Ron would probably be taller, and would have obviously kept his hair the same, though he should cut it sometime. As for Hermione, Harry knew she would always look beautiful as she was transforming into a young lady.
'Wait...did I just think that?' Harry thought to himself.
Just then, Harry's door opened, causing him to jump. Harry looked to see a quite chubby boy his age at his door; it was Dudley, his cousin. Dudley closed the door and walked to Harry's bed. Dudley had given Harry a tiny bit of respect, especially after he almost made contact with a Dementor the year before.
"Potter, for once in my life, I need your advice..." Dudley said with a serious tone of voice. Harry's eyebrows rose, looking at him in shock.
"Er...go ahead...what do you want?" Harry asked, feeling awkward.
"I need help finding a girl to go with me to the first dance of the school year." Dudley said quickly. Harry continued to look at him in shock. Harry never thought of Dudley to ask him a question about how to get a girl. He figured that he'd go to his father, but that would make it worse in a way. Then he thought of an idea in his head and smiled.
"Alright then." Harry said, mischievously. "What you got to do, is just walk up to a girl and ask her right there."
Dudley looked at him in confusion. "Is that supposed to be a joke?"
"Of course not." Harry said, trying not to laugh. "I remember I walked up to a girl and just asked her to go with me to the ball, and she quickly said yes."
Dudley thought a bit. "Well...you're not the kind of guy that a girl would go out with. And you're not that much of a prize as well."
Harry looked at him with a bit of anger.
"But...I'll do it." Dudley said and started to walk towards the door. Just as he touched the doorknob, something had hit Harry's window, as if someone had thrown a ball at his window. Harry quickly went to his window to see a small owl in the air with a letter in its feet. A bigger owl, carrying a letter in its feet as well, seemed as if the two owls were flying together. The small owl shook its head to snap out of confusion and Harry opened the window so they could come inside. Harry knew immediately that the small owl was Pigwidgeon, Ron's owl.
"Oh no! Not the bloody owls again!" Dudley exclaimed and ducked behind Harry's bed. "Is there more outside?"
"Uh...no. I think there's only two." Harry said as the small owl dropped the letter in Harry's hands and the bigger owl perched itself on Harry's bed. "The small one is my friend's owl."
The bigger owl gave its letter to Harry and left immediately, while Pig stayed. The letter from the bigger owl was from Hogwarts, and had Harry's name on the envelope in ink. Dudley looked at Pig, tried to touch it with his hand, but Pig bit him.
"Ow!" Dudley exclaimed. "I'll leave. Have fun with your bloody birds."
Dudley quickly left the room as Harry opened the letter from Hogwarts. He lifted the adhesive seal and fully opened the letter. It read:
Harry Potter,
We are pleased to have you back at Hogwarts. We must inform you that you will have more classes this year; they are Muggle Studies, Flying Class, Driving Lessons, and an elective of your choice. Your elective may be Wizard's Chess, Yearbook Staff, Art, Newspaper/Magazine, Fashion/Styling, and Cooking Class. These extra classes you will be having this year are required in your Sixth Year from now on in order to pass. You are able to get out of Flying Class and Driving Lessons as soon as you get a license for each. You will get these from your professor when you receive a test, or a recommendation from the professor. You will choose your elective once you arrive at Hogwarts. 6th and 7th Years have all of the extra classes, but the other students only have the elective.
A list of books has been included with this letter, and they are required for all of your classes.
This year will be a year of surprises. It will be more fun than the year before, so ask your professor for more information.
Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft
and Wizardry
"What the?" Harry said as he read this. "Extra classes? Wonder if Ron or Hermione got this letter too."
Harry dropped the Hogwarts letter on his bed and took Hermione's letter, which was on top of Ron's letter.
Dear Harry,
How have you been? I've missed you! Hope you've had a great vacation...even though you are at the Dursleys. But have you got the letter from Hogwarts lately? This is mad! They're actually going to have Flying Lessons back for the Sixth Years, and you know how I'm terrified of heights! I bet once I get on my broom, I'd lose control and hit the Whomping Willow.
And have you chosen your elective yet? Ginny and I, well, we still haven't chosen yet, but we will soon I hope. I bet you and Ron would choose Wizard's Chess huh? So typical, and I can imagine Ron smiling as he beats someone at Wizard's Chess. If Ginny and I were to watch you and Ron play against each other, be sure to win! I can't wait to see that look on Ron's face!
But anyway, they said that Hogwarts would be more fun! Wonder why? Well, if you know anything, please tell me and Ginny about it alright? Oh and I might not be able to come to the Weasleys the same day as you do, so if you know something, don't tell anyone yet!
See you soon at the Weasleys!
Love,
Hermione
Harry chuckled. He couldn't wait to get to the Weasleys house a few days before Hogwarts started. Ron had invited him and Hermione over for a week for some 'last minute fun', and Harry knew he wouldn't want to miss that. Bill and Fleur's wedding was coming up, and it happened to be during that week as well. But, did Harry feel himself blush as well? He never felt this feeling inside him, something much better than what he felt with Cho. Hermione was just a friend...right?
Pig was flying around the room, trying not to hit anything. Harry slightly shook his head to snap back to reality. He picked up Ron's letter as soon as he placed Hermione's letter on the Hogwarts letter.
Harry,
How are you doing, mate? Not that much news happened at our house, but I want to know what happened over there at the Dursleys. If that Dudley kid messes with you, just remember to buy some of Fred and Georges' candy and give it to him. Ha, I remember when Fred and George gave one to him!
By the way, you've got the letter from Hogwarts haven't you? This is so great! They've got Wizard's Chess as an elective! Me and you can sign up once we get to Hogwarts, and...well...Hemione will just go with Ginny I guess...whatever girls want to do. Plus, flying lessons are back and we'd get our license quicker than Hermione for once! Watch, she'd probably lose control and crash into the Whomping Willow...or the castle...or even you!
Well, can't wait for you to get over here. I bet you've been starved to death by those people you call your relatives.
See you,
Ron
Harry looked at the calendar to see that it was almost two days 'til he could go to the Weasleys for the remainder of the break. He looked around and found two pieces of paper and a pen and started to write a letter to Ron.
Ron,
I'm doing nothing over here! You have no clue how much I want to leave this place. And you'll never believe what happened. Dudley actually asked me for advice on finding a girl to go with to a dance. Not like anyone would go with him, but I just said to walk up to a girl and just ask her. That was kind of a mistake when we were trying to find dates to the Yule Ball remember? Well, you were the one who walked up to Fleur and asked her right there, and well, she said no...but hey, she's getting married to Bill soon right?
Yeah I've gotten the letter. But I just wonder why they just give everyone extra classes this year and not last year. But the chance of beating people at Wizard's Chess would be great. Hermione and Ginny...well...they could watch us play I guess, or Ginny could lead Hermione into that Fashion class...though I bet Hermione would choose another class.
Well, almost two days 'til I come over! See you soon! Oh, and don't worry I'm not getting starved to death by my relatives
Your friend,
Harry
Harry then stopped writing, and got an envelope and inserted the letter inside. He wrote Ron's name on it and put it next to the other letters. Harry got another paper and started writing a letter to Hermione.
Hermione,
I miss you too! I'm doing fine here at the Dursleys I guess, though it is boring, and they still do make me do their chores. At least Dudley has given me a little respect. Oh and yeah I've got the letter too. Don't worry, you're going to pass Flying Class. Ha, and don't worry, you won't crash into the Whomping Willow, because I'll be there to help you out. And if you're falling, you know I'll be there to catch you! And you'll lose that fear of heights once you get the hang of flying a broom.
Me and Ron are most likely going to choose Wizard's Chess for the elective. When I see you and Ginny watching, I'll be sure to win against Ron, or whoever I'm against. I can't wait!
I wish I knew about what's gonna happen at Hogwarts. Hopefully it will be more fun than last time. And don't worry! I'll tell you everything I know! You and Ginny seem to be really interested in the Hogwarts news huh? I promise I won't tell anyone else other than you!
Anyway, see you soon at the Weasleys as well!
Love,
Harry
'Putting Love, Harry seemed appropriate right?' Harry thought as he put the letter into another envelope, wrote Hermione's name on it and put it on Ron's letter. Pig stopped flying and dove down onto Harry's bed. Harry picked up the two letters and handed them to Pig.
"Give this one to Ron," Harry said, pointing at Ron's letter. "And the other one to Hermione. Got it?"
Pig hooted and flew out the window, heading to Hermione's house. Harry sighed and looked at the calendar again.
'Can't wait to get out of here.' Harry thought and pulled out his suitcase to get ready in advance.
A FEW DAYS LATER
Today was the day Harry would go to the Weasleys. His suitcase was packed, with all of his Hogwarts materials and clothes, and other items that Harry wanted to bring. Uncle Vernon walked by his room to see Harry smiling. He rolled his eyes and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
It was 10 in the morning and Harry was to leave at noon. He couldn't wait to leave the boring old house and go to the Weasley's household, where it was fun. Harry sighed and plopped onto his bed, waiting and imagining how much fun they were going to have. But instead, he drifted to sleep.
Harry's Dream:
(A/n: The italics show what is happening in the dream, and the underlined text show what Harry is thinking and want to say, when he can't move)
Harry opened his eyes to see a big castle in front of him. It was Hogwarts, and Harry felt that he wasn't alone. He looked to his left to see Hermione, with small cuts on her face and on her arms. Hermione looked at him and slightly smiled, but the smile faded away. Harry looked to his right to see Ron, who was clutching his right arm, as if he had broken it. Blood was stained on his sleeve where he held his arm. He continued to look at the castle, looking serious and no happiness in his eyes. Harry looked at himself to see that he had a few cuts and bruises on his arms, and two or three small holes on his shirt.
Harry looked at the castle, and noticed how dark and gloomy it looked. Hogwarts usually looked welcoming and great, but something had happened, making the castle look dangerous. Suddenly, Harry felt pain in his scar, and put his hand to it, hoping that the pain would stop. Then, Harry couldn't move anymore, as if he could only watch what was happening. Hermione looked at Harry with worry. Her hand went to his hand, that was on his scar and put them down. He felt a warm sensation enter him.
"He's here, isn't he?" Hermione said and automatically Harry nodded. Hermione nodded at Ron and ran inside the castle.
"Wait here." Ron said. "We're just going to check where everyone else is."
Harry's eyebrows rose in confusion as Ron followed Hermione. Many questions ran through Harry's thoughts. 'Where is everyone else? Did something bad happen? The reason why we all have cuts and bruises? Where's Dumbledore? Why would Voldemort be around here?'
Suddenly, a high pitched scream was heard. The scream belonged to a girl, who seemed as if she has been terribly hurt. Automatically, Harry ran inside the castle to see a girl with wavy brown hair on the ground, motionless. It was Hermione. Harry immediately ran to where she was and knelt on the ground, hoping that she was breathing. But she wasn't. Harry felt as if something had struck him by just looking at Hermione. He wanted to at least help her, but he couldn't move. Harry looked at her with green teary eyes. "Hermione!" He exclaimed, a few tears flowing down his cheeks.
Harry looked up angrily to see a tall bald man, wearing a dark green robe, with a terrifying looking face and he knew that he was Voldemort. Harry's scar began to hurt even more than before, as Voldemort began to walk towards him. His tears became dried up as he came closer and closer.
"Harry get out of here!'" Ron exclaimed, as he ran towards Voldemort. "I'll hold him off!"
"No!" Harry had screamed. "I won't let you! You and Hermione should've gone back to safety while you had the chance!"
Voldemort cackled. "Too late Harry. No one, not even him, can escape me. Just because 'The Boy Who Lived' is here, does not mean he will live." Voldemort pointed his wand at Ron, who was looking at Harry.
'Run Ron!' Harry wanted to shout, but nothing came out of his mouth.
"RUN HARRY!" Ron yelled.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Voldemort shouted, and a bright green light emerged from his wand, and struck Ron. Ron, as if in slow motion, slowly fell to the ground.
"NO!" Harry shouted. He looked at both Ron and Hermione as Voldemort was almost right in front of him. Voldemort cackled and smiled and pointed his wand at him.
"Harry Potter! You will be gone forever!" Voldemort exclaimed. "AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Harry's eyes widened as he watched a green light emerge from his wand once again. He felt as if he was on fire. Harry then felt his eyelids drop as he fell to the ground...
Harry's eyes quickly opened. He put his palm on his scar and forehead, which had sweat all over. He looked at the time to see that it was almost five minutes 'til noon. Ron and Mr. Weasley were to pick him up at exactly 12 o'clock. Harry got off his bed.
'It was just a dream,' Harry thought. 'It wasn't real...'
He sighed a sigh of relief and went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth before he left. Once he was done, he put on his shoes and sat at the edge of his bed, waiting for the Weasleys to pick him up.
Harry looked out the window to see the clear blue sky and the empty street. No one and nothing was outside other than the cars that sat at each house's driveway. He waited until a car came, turning to Privet Drive, a man with red hair was driving, and his son, who also had red hair, sat next to him. Harry's eyes lit up and immediately ran downstairs as the car parked in front of the Dursleys' house. Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley, who were watching TV looked up at him. Their eyes narrowed as Harry swung open the door to reveal Ron and Mr. Weasley.
"Hey Harry!" Ron exclaimed. "How've you been?"
"I'm great." Harry said as he smiled. Mr. Weasley looked at him as the Dursleys continued to watch TV.
"Hello there Harry." Mr. Weasley said. "Hope you've got your things packed up!"
"Yes I have. I'll go get it." Harry said and went upstairs to his room, with Ron behind him. Harry and Ron returned a few minutes later with Harry's luggage. Ron carried Hedwig and his cage for Harry.
Mr. Weasley then looked at the Dursleys. "Well then, aren't you going to say a good-bye to Harry before we leave?"
They continued to watch TV, as if they didn't hear him. The only noise throughout the house came from the TV. Ron looked at his father.
"Dad, it's okay. We can leave now." Ron whispered to him.
"I'm afraid so." Mr. Weasley whispered back and looked at the Dursleys one last time and said a small "Good-bye!" before he, Harry and Ron had left the house.
Mr. Weasley opened the trunk of the blue car as Harry and Ron sat in the passenger seats with Hedwig's cage. Mr. Weasley then got back into the car and into the driver's seat and put on his seat belt.
"Boy, Harry, your relatives are quite unusual." Mr. Weasley said as he turned on the engine.
"They really are." Harry said as Mr. Weasley turned out of Privet Drive.
"I feel bad for you." Ron said and all three chuckled. The car turned towards a dead end. Harry looked around.
"Mr. Weasley, this is a dead end." Harry said. "Do you remember the way you got here?"
Ron chuckled. "Don't worry Harry. This is the way we got here."
Mr. Weasley smiled, pressed a button near the wheel, and pulled down an unusual gear shift. Harry looked at a nearby mirror and noticed that they did not see their reflection. He smiled as the car began to float off the road and into the air.
"Brings back memories from Second Year doesn't it Harry?" Ron asked and both smiled.
"How was it anyway?" Mr. Weasley asked, a bit enthusiastic. "You lost the other car when it happened after all."
Ron looked down in embarrassment. "Didn't I tell you? We crashed into the Whomping Willow...and then lost it when it ran off into the Dark Forest..."
Mr. Weasley looked as if he was okay about it, since he forgot about it 4 years ago. "Well then, hopefully you'll know how to properly drive a car this year, since Hogwarts will have Driving Lessons for you Sixth Years!"
"Hopefully." Harry said and smiled. "Anyway Ron, did Hermione arrive?"
Ron looked at Harry and his eyebrows rose in suspicion. "Why are you asking?"
Harry's eyes widened and quickly thought of something. "Well...she is our best friend..."
"Right..." Ron mumbled. "Well, I'm not sure, but she could've while we were gone."
"Oh, alright then." Harry said as the car started to slowly lower onto the ground in front of a house with a big chimney, with a lopsided sign by the road that said 'The Burrow.'
"Welcome back to our home Harry!" Mr. Weasley exclaimed as the car was now on the ground. Ron continued to look at Harry, who was smiling, in suspicion as they got out of the car. Ron shrugged and picked up Hedwig's cage and got out of the car, while Mr. Weasley got Harry's luggage.
Harry looked up to see Mrs. Weasley and Ginny talking to someone. A girl with wavy brown hair and was about Harry's age, with her luggage next to her, made him feel as if he wanted to jump. Mrs. Weasley, Ginny and the girl looked up at him.
"Harry! It' s so great to see you!" Mrs. Weasley said and hugged him. Mrs. Weasley treated Harry as if she was his mother. It did seem like it, since she had given Harry and Ron a few Christmas sweaters. She then went inside to see if the rooms were clean.
"Welcome back!" Ginny exclaimed and hugged him as well. Ginny had given up on Harry the year before, and now only thinks of Harry as a friend.
Harry and the girl then began to smile. "Hey Hermione!" Harry exclaimed. Ginny continued to smile as she could tell that Harry began to blush a tiny bit.
Hermione smiled back and flung her arms around him. "I missed you Harry!"
Ginny's eyebrows rose and her eyes widened as Harry returned the hug. She looked at them as if they could be a perfect picture. Ginny then began to smile mischievously, as she thought of an idea. 'Harry and Hermione look like the perfect couple! They look good together and look as if they like each other...'
Ginny stopped thinking when Hermione let go of Harry. "Well then, let's go back inside." Ginny went inside first, and then Harry and Hermione.
Meanwhile, Ron and Mr. Weasley put Harry and Hermione's luggage into their rooms. Ron shared his room with Harry, while Ginny shared her room with Hermione. Fred and George were in the kitchen, eating lunch as they put their luggage away.
"Harry's here?" Fred asked.
"And Hermione's here too?" George asked. Ron nodded and smiled.
"Who came first?" They asked at the same time.
"Hermione." Ron said and went back outside. George then began to smile and cupped his hand in
front of an unhappy Fred, who then put 10 Galleons into it.
