Authors Note: I do not own any of the characters present in my story that have appeared in the official, JK Rowling, Harry Potter novels.
Six years can be an awfully long time. Unfortunately, that time had flown by and the 7th year for Hogwarts eldest students was about to commence. About to return from their lengthy summers, the students were coming to the end of their witches and wizards training at the school. Whether those summers were spent abroad or at home the students now faced a year of life changing exams, hectic schedules, family pressures and the usual hormonal changes that came with being teenagers. Subsequent problems were inevitable.
For one particular girl and boy this year would affect them in more ways than they could possibly imagine. She, a muggle born, felt the need to succeed in the wizarding world to prove to herself and to all the 'stuck up' pure bloods that she was just as worthy as them to be called a witch. As the cleverest girl in school she was doing pretty well so far.
He, on the other hand, felt a similar pressure to succeed but for different reasons. His pressure had developed due to the long line of a pure blood family, a success story, that he was now the heir of. Believing that the responsibility to continue this line is his, he now feels that if he wants to have any hope of keeping the family name respected he must become a great wizard. About to be thrown together by a joining of responsibility and ambition, disastrous mayhem was about to ensue.
