Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter
Chapter-1
A new beginning
Hermione always felt excited while boarding Hogwarts Express and this year was more special. She had finally got her Prefect's badge and to everyone's surprise so had Ron. As she dragged her trunk into a compartment, she saw Ron already helping himself with a Chocolate frog.
"Hey! We have to go for Prefect's meeting first. You can eat later"
"Huh? Oh yeah right; I am coming."
Hermione rolled her eyes and started towards the head compartment, Ron tailing after her.
Hermione opened the door and glanced at the other prefects. She gave a small smile to Hannah Abbott and Padma Patil and scowled at seeing Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinsan. At this time McGonagall entered and explained them their duties.
Harry and Ginny were waiting for them with a weird looking blonde girl in their compartment who was reading 'Quibbler' upside down.
"So how are the other prefects?" Harry enquired.
"Well enough. There is Padma Patil and Anthony Goldstein from Ravenclaw. Hannah Abbott and Ernie McMillan from Hufflepuff and to everyone's worst fortune Malfoy and Parkinsan from Slytherin." Hermione answered.
"That was to be expected though it doesn't make it any less miserable."
"True" Hermione said with a sigh "this is going to be a long year."
Everyone nodded and silently waited to arrive at Hogwarts lost in their own thoughts.
Great Hall was looking as magnificent as it could. Even after 5 years Hermione always felt like she was walking through these doors for the first time. It felt like a dream Golden Trio took their seats on the gryffindor table and exchanged greetings with the old classmates. Dumbledore's voice echoed through the walls "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts. There are a few announcements but they can wait. Let the feast begin."
Hermione suddenly realised that she was very hungry and helped herself to dinner at once.
After the dinner was over, Dumbledore clapped his hands and started again "There are a few changes in staff. Defence against the Dark arts would be taught by Mr. Dedalus Diggle and there is a new subject added to the OWLs this year on the recommendation of ministry of Magic, Telepathy which will be taught by Ms. Hestia Jones."
All the fifth years groaned at the mention of a new subject but Hermione was amused. She was looking forward to whatever Telepathy has to offer. Also Ms. Hestia looked very pleasant sort of person. With new curiosity and excitement she retired to her dormitories as everyone went for sleep.
