Being You
Anne Aura
Summary: All our friends have returned to complete their education at Hogwarts. As usual, to remove the animosity between the houses the one and only Headmaster Dumbledore has devised a plan. Let us witness a year where sanity is questioned, secrets are revealed and most importantly...love is found and exposed for the world to see.
Introduction: Hey, this is Anne Aura. (My name is Apurva, if you wished to know.) So this is my first attempt at writing a story. I hope you enjoy reading it as much I enjoyed writing it. Well you see I have kept some characters alive. Just let us all imagine that only the worst people aka Voldemort, the Lestranges, and other such cruel people were the only ones to die. And also if you didn't guess this story is a Dramione. But I have also tried to give at least half the importance they get to the other couples.
Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter series, never in my dreams would I have imagined Romione. You get the idea, right? So let us all thank J. K. Rowling for being so generous and introducing this wonderful world to us. And let us also thank FATE that I don't own Harry Potter series; because if I did, it would have been a disaster. I write only for fun.
Chapter 1: The Announcement
The Great Hall was filled to the brim. This was the first night after the students returned from their Christmas vacations. They were welcomed by the Headmaster Professor Albus Dumbledore. He made a few announcements and then the students became occupied with their dinner and conversed with their acquaintances what they thought about the headmaster's announcements. Such a conversation was being carried out at the Gryffindor table among the peers.
"So what do you make out about the idea of the theme, Hermione?" A redhead who had grown quite beautiful over the years asked the brunette sitting across the table.
"Well I think it was clever of Professor Dumbledore to introduce such an idea, even if it is for promoting house unity. Well I am looking forward to wearing all my dresses, Ginny. Considering we spend most of the time wearing our school robes, we don't even get the time to wear something else." The brunette known by the name of Hermione Granger addressed the redhead, the only female child among the Weasleys' current generation, Ginevra Weasley or Ginny as she likes to be called. Both girls had grown quite a lot to gain the attention of boys. Where Ginny was unattainable because of her brothers, Hermione's beauty was hidden under the baggy robes she wore daily and so the hormonal male teenagers were oblivious to it.
Not that the one and only Harry Potter and his other best friend Ronald or Ron Weasley, brother of Ginny Weasley, were kids. They had grown incredibly well and had their own group of fan girls. Ron more as he was the only single one of the two but had his eyes set on one particular brunette. Any guesses? His best friend Hermione Granger had played a role in many of his wet dreams since he noticed that she started growing up. But her unresponsiveness to his advances had him quite frustrated.
With this all the girls sitting nearby started discussing about the clothes they could wear the next day.
You might be confused what is happening. Let me sum it up. Professor Dumbledore thought that the war was over, so what better time than the present to promote house unity and completely remove the already diminishing blood prejudice. For this he needed his students to be friends and to begin this friendship they need to mend their ideas about each other. To accomplish this he adopted a method from the muggle schools. The idea of having a theme for the rest of the year starting from the time they return from their Christmas vacations. The theme he had chosen was "Being You". How ironic! So the students were to behave as they normally do without the school restrictions i.e. the way they behave in their homes with their family. The first rule dissolved was the dress code, which excited everyone especially the girls.
So pick your glasses and let's toast to 'Being You'.
A/n: Hey guys! This is the other story I've been trying to work on. Please bear with me.
And you see the "Review" button. Of course you do. Press it and tell me what you think. Communication after all is the most important aspect of a relationship. So please do it, pretty please with um... Draco on top!
