Back From the Ministry

Chapter 1

Order of the Phoenix

I just can't believe he's dead. Hermione thought to herself. Harry's going to be really torn up about this for a while. Everyone had just come back from the Ministry of Magic and despite the fact that most of them had barely ever talked to Sirius Black, they all felt a bit of themselves were missing. Hermione, Luna, Ron, Neville, and Ginny had all come back to Hogwarts using the Floo Network while Harry got back with Dumbledore. Everyone was really tired but because that day was the end of term, they had to pack and be ready to go.

"WHERE WERE YOU LOT?!?" Parvati yelled/whispered at Hermione. "I was worried sick not knowing where everyone was!"

"We were at the Ministry. We fought Death Eaters. You-Know-Who was there. And Sirius Black was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange. I really don't want to talk about it."

"Lestrange killed Sirius Black? I though they were both Death Eaters."

"No. Sirius never killed anyone. He was good, and he was Harry's Godfather. He was a part of the Order of the Phoenix." Parvati gave her a questioning look. "It's a secret society that was formed 14 years ago when they last fought him. Lots of people are in it."

"Well. I hope Harry's ok, but we cannot forget that to day is the END OF TERM!!!!" Parvati was quite good at cheering people up. Hermione giggled quietly and then continued packing sadly. "So. I saw Ron coming in with his arms wrapped around you. Were they flexed, really muscular, huh?"

"PARVATI YOU ARE SO WEIRD! and yes they were, very muscular." They looked at each for about 3 seconds before laughing do loudly Ginny had to come up and calm them down.

"You guys really need to stop having loud laugh attacks and loud random conversations or some day people are going to be coming up here with money and giving weird hand signals that mean 'Give me whatever you're on!'" Parvati and Hermione stared at Ginny for a long time and even Ginny couldn't resist laughing at herself.

"Alright we should probably get to breakfast, quickly, and get to class. It wouldn't surprise me if our teachers gave us detention for next year even on the last day." Ginny nodded to Hermione before running own to her dorm to get dressed. Parvati and Hermione were already dressed so they walked down to the common room together. As they walked in, the first thing Hermione saw was Ron's red, silky hair and his crystal blue eyes staring right at her. Hermione blushed and walked over to him and Harry, leaving Parvati to talk to her boyfriend.

"So, we heard your laugh attack everything ok?" Harry asked her while laughing to himself. Ron would have said something but he was to busy laughing.

"Yeah, everything fine." Hermione looking questioningly and the two smirking boys. "You know people think Parvati and I are on something but whatever we're on we obviously stole from you."

"Look let's just get to breakfast." Harry said quickly. Ginny ran into their group and smiled at Harry, by which time Ron had managed to stop laughing and had found enough air to talk.

"Yeah let's go Hermione, do you want me to hold you in my muscular arms?" Ron and Harry started laughing uncontrollably. "Hey, I think the Great Hall's that way." He said while flexing his arm and pointing towards the Great Hall.

"Hah. You're so funny." Hermione said quickly before punching Ron very hard in the shoulder.

"Oi! Gerroffame!" Ron yelled at Hermione who was now laughing loudly.

"Yes, I think I know where the Great Hall is now. Thank you for your directions." She grabbed Ginny's arm and continued. "Let's go eat. I'm hungry."

The four of them walked down to the Great Hall discussing what they would do over the summer. As they sat down at the table Ginny wandered off to be with her boyfriend. Michael Corner? Or was that last week?

"So it's decided," Ron started. "You'll come to the Burrow half-way through summer and I'll teach you about Quidditch and… Harry? When do you want to come?"

"Ummm… Late July? Early August? Somewhere in that vicinity?" he added with a laugh.

"Right I'll tell mum that. Oh God, Potions class first." Ron whined looking disgusted.

"No, I heard today Professor Snape was giving out a cool prize in class today, something cool." Said Hermione happily.

"Wow a fun potions class, that sounds promising." Harry said sarcastically. Ron and Harry exchanged looks that said I-can't-believe-she-thinks-this-will-be-fun.

"Whatever. Time for class."

They hurried off to class and sat down. Then they heard Snape's monotone voice begin talking.

"Today we have what you would call an easy class. You make a potion you win a prize. No I don't care one bit what potion you make Miss Granger just make one." Hermione blushed into her book as she put her hand down and immediately started on her Happiness Potion. She had made this before in class and had made it perfectly. Plus when she tried it she was extremely happy and hyper for the rest of the day.

Ron sat in his chair not knowing what potion to make and frankly didn't care what he made. So when he finally thought of something he made it quickly. Harry was similar, but ended up making a 1-hour love potion. It took like 5 minutes to make and only had 6 ingredients, it was really easy.

After what seemed to be the longest potions class ever, Snape stopped the class and began to see their potions. "Draco Malfoy, Stomach Twisting Potion, exceptionally made, 10 points to Slytherin. " Professor Snape continued with the Slytherins, giving each and every one of them 5 points for even the most ridiculous potion.

"Miss Granger?"

"I've made a happiness Potion, sir."

"Of course only you would make the most useless potion ever made, and incorrectly made at that." He said this while testing her potion which was perfectly made, he twitched a bit from holding back his smile.

"Harry Potter, what is this?"

"It's a 1 hour love potion, sir."

"I don't care."

"Of course not."

"Ronald Weasley."

"Yes sir." Ron answered.

"Well. What did you make?"

"Oh! I made root beer, sir."

"What?"

"Root Beer, sir." Ron repeated

"Is that in anyway magical?"

"Well. It's in our textbooks, and it's magically delicious!"

"Right. OK. Um. Class dismissed." Everyone walked out quickly hurrying off to their next class.
