Author's Note: This story will take place in the students 8th year. It will be my version of the marriage law plot. I do not own the Harry Potter characters!
All I could think about was being able to go back to school. Hoping this year will be an uneventful. With Voldemort gone for good, it looks like it will be. This year will only be about studying and passing all my NEWTs, all with O's.
Harry decided that he didn't want to fight any more. Thought he would be more useful teaching. So he gave up the idea of becoming an Auror and is now coming back to school for his NEWTs and study under the new teacher for Defence Against the Dark Arts, and hopefully end up teaching the course himself. Ron, however, loved the spotlight he got after the war, and decided that he would become an Auror. He wasn't as good as Harry would have been, but him and his partners, Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas, still did pretty well. All of the 7th year along with Harry, Ron and me were asked if we wanted to come back to redo the 7th year, only half of us did and the rest were offered jobs at the ministry. All of the 6th year students that were either part of the war or Dumbledore's Army or both were allowed to come back and go into the 7th year, the rest were asked to come back and redo the 6th.
Neville is doing the same as Harry, but is hopeing instead for Herbology. Neville and Hanna Abbott are dating, and have been as soon as Harry killed Voldemort, Neville went to Hanna and asked her out right there in the court yard. Harry and Ginny, along with Ron and me, decided that we were best off as friends. We all went through so much over the last 7 years, we just didnt want to take on having to make a relationship work.
There were rumors that only a few of the Slytherin 6th and 7th years were coming back. So far I didn't see any on the platform. Maybe when I need to get up and do my Head Girl rounds I'll run in to them and see who came back. I wasn't told in my letter who was Head Boy, but I was guessing it would be one of the Ravenclaw boys. There was only a couple of boys that did almost as well as I have over the last 7 years. There was Draco Malfoy, but I hear he was going to be taking over the family business, Micheal Corner, he was coming back so maybe it is him.
The ride on the train went by faster then normal. Catching up with friends, going to meet Head Boy, and the Prefects, and learning/doing my Head Girl duties, along with where the Heads will stay this year, and then going back to my friends and catching up some more. The only thing that didnt happen was actually learning who Head Boy was. The Prefects and me waited and waited but he never showed up. When Headmistress McGonagall came to let me know about my duties, I asked her about the Head Boy but she just brushed off the question and turned to the Prefects and talked abit and then left. I figured that I would find out at the feast tonight when McGonagall annouced Head Boy and Girl.
The train got to Hogsmade, and all the students got off and the 1st years went over to the boats while the other students got to the carriages. At the school the 1st years had their sorting and now all the students are waiting for the food to show up. I can just hear Ron in my head complaining about how hungry he would be if he were here. The chatter all over the hall was full of happiness and laughter. Headmistress McGonagall stood up to give her first speech as the new Headmistress.
"To the new students, Welcome. To our old students, Welcome back. We are about to start a year filled with wonder, excitement, and of course magical education. There are a few announcements before we begin the feast. Now Mr. Filch would let me to remind you all that the forbidden forest is just as it's name states forbidden, no student is allowed. There will be no magic anywhere but in the class rooms. All Weasley's Wizard Wheezes products are banned, everything else that is banned are on a list that is posted by Mr. Filch's door. Please remember what they are. Now I would like to announce that Hermione Granger will this year's Head Girl. As for Head Boy I will announce him when he comes, which unfortunately won't be till next week. 1st years after the feast please go to your house Prefects, they will show you where your dorm is. I believe that is all I have left to say. Enjoy the feast!" As she went to sit down the food arrivied. After the plates were all cleared off, I stayed behind while everyone left, and made sure that the Prefects got all the 1st years. Then it was off to the Heads dorm, and bed.
Well this was just the first chapter. Please let me know what you thought of it. I know this is short, and I'm hopeing the other chatpers wont be do short. If there are any ideas that you would like to throw at me, throw away. Thanks!
Remember to R&R!
