None of the characters in this chapter are mine. They're all based on J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter Books, which are basically my bible. I love them a lot. Yes. Well...Enjoy

Chapter 1

A tawny owl flew through the window and landed on my bed as I was composing a letter to send to my father in Azkaban. I finished the line I was writing, and then glanced at the owl. It was carrying a letter bearing the Hogwarts crest. Why would someone from Hogwarts be writing to me? I motioned for the owl to come closer, and I removed the letter from his leg. He stood there, as if waiting for a response. Confused, I opened the letter.

Mr. Draco Malfoy,

After much consideration and evaluation, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy has decided to reopen its doors. As part of the reopening of the school, we are inviting students from last year's graduating class to come back to complete their year. Please send an owl back with your reply at your earliest convenience. A list of supplies needed is attached.

Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall.

Was this some kind of joke, I wondered? I glanced back at the owl. It seemed official. I slid a sheet of parchment out of my desk and wrote in large letters

YES

Going into Hogsmeade to buy my own supplies was not fun. Mother had been killed by Uncle Rodolphus after the Dark Lord had discovered she had lied. Father was still in Azkaban. So I was alone. I hated being alone more than anything else. Since the day I was born, I had never been alone. I had nannies, elves, or my parents with me every minute of every day until Hogwarts, and then I had Vince and Greg. I glanced at my list. It was an exact replica of last year's. I assumed that meant that I'd be taking classes with the students who were actually in their seventh year.

I thought about who I'd be having classes with. Obviously Potter, Weasley, and Mudblood Granger…they'd definitely come back. Vince was dead, though, and Greg's mum was ill, so I knew he wouldn't be back. Drew Abeley, a year younger than me, would definitely be there.

But then I realized something: I'd be having classes with the Weasley girl. That fiery, gorgeous Weasley girl. Just thinking about her made me shiver. She was the most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes on. The way her long red hair hit her bum, the way her hips swayed when she walked, the way her school skirt seemed shorter than the rest of the girls' because of those mile-long legs. My heart pumped faster just thinking about her.

I had no idea how I'd EVER be able to concentrate on classes with her in my year. But it'd be worth failing just to see that face.

A/N: So I'll write more if I get a few reviews…even if its only one or two, so that I know SOMEONE is reading…because there's no point if someone isn't. So yeah…
