Harry Potter in a New Year
Chapter 1: The Newcomer
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville were about to start their sixth year at Hogwarts.
For now, in the summer the golden trio plus Neville, who had recently found out about the Order and wanted to join once he graduated, were all staying at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place with Sirius (he's alive in my story.), Remus Lupin, Tonks, Mad eye Moody, and the Weasleys (minus Percy, Bill, and Charlie). Sirius was finally a free man. With the help of Hermione's time-turner the Order was able to save Sirius from the Veil in the Department of Mysteries. Dumbledore was able to pull some strings with the Ministry to prove Sirius' innocence in Peter Pettigrew's "murder", no knew how that came about and Sirius wasn't about to question it, he even gave Sirius a teaching job as the DADA teacher, according to the headmaster Sirius had enough hands on experience to pass Black. This news got the four looking forward to this coming year.
Harry was especially excited this month. His sixteenth birthday was in a few days. He felt very fortunate to be alive with all that kept occurring. Finally his birthday came; little did he know he'd be in for a day of surprises. "Harry, wake up!" Harry awoke to Ron shaking him. "Morning, Ron." Harry said as he sat up and stretched. "Happy Birthday!" Ron exclaimed as he handed Harry a gift in green wrapping. "Ron, you didn't have to get me anything. After all we've been through, I'm just glad to be able to see my sixteenth birthday." Harry said as he started unwrapping the gift. It was a book on professional Quidditch teams and their records of matches to date. "Thanks Ron." Harry said. Ron left the room to get dressed, while Harry went into his own bathroom to change.
After changing he was heading downstairs, when he ran into Hermione. "Morning, 'Mione." Harry said, "oh, Good morning and Happy Birthday, Harry."Hermione smiled and gave Harry a friendly hug. They proceeded down to the dining room, where breakfast was already set out. There was one thing different; two extra places were set at the table. "Mom, why are there extra spots at the table?" Ginny asked when she entered the room and noticed. "We have just gotten new members to the Order. It's just two, but I'm glad we will have new faces." Mrs. Weasley said excitedly. "Where are they from?" Fred asked. "They are from America. One of them will be going o school with you, the other will work with us." Mr. Weasley finished for his wife as he sat down at the table and started reading the Daily Prophet. "They'll be here soon."
No sooner had Mrs.Weasley finished the sentence there was a knock at the door. She walked out to the foyer and opened the door and there stood a man about in his early twenties, standing next to him was a girl Harry, Ron, and Hermione's age. They each had large bags in their hands. "Oh hello, it's nice to meet you. Mr. and Ms. Mitchell." Mrs. Weasley led the two into the kitchen where everyone was waiting to greet them. Amanda Mitchell was the first in the room, but she looked really nervous and eyed everyone with confusion. Her older brother, Jacob, came in just behind her and gave her an encouraging smile when she looked back at him.
Slowly Amanda walked over to the table and sat at one of the extra places; her brother took the seat next to her. Everyone introduced themselves, and then Harry introduced himself. "Hello, nice to meet you, Amanda." Harry held out his hand.
