Rise of the Phoenix
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. If I did, not only would I be rich, I would sue all your butts off for stealing my ideas!!... Just kidding! I love you all!! Please keep reading!
Summery: Harry and co. has reached their seventh and final year at Hogwarts. The sixth book never happened and SIRIUS NEVER DIED!!!! I think it's cruel to take away Harry's only good family left, and the last book clashes with my story!
The gang is headed back to school, ready for anything. Almost. Three new students have come to Hogwarts. Amy Sterling, Damien Knight, and Deni Thrasher. They become friends with the golden trio, and have a blast playing quidditch, finding new hiding spots in the castle, and pulling pranks on Malfoy and the other slytherines.
But one of our new friends has something to hide, (Suspenseful music plays in back round) a very big something. Something that could get everyone they know and love killed.
A/N: Yes, I know. That was very dramatic, but I love dramatics so I couldn't resist!
This story is promised to have action, adventure, drama, mystery, suspense, romance, and as much humor as I can stuff in there!! This is my first fic, so please be nice and review! Thank you for sticking with me through this very long summery and authors note. So, without any farther ado, on with the show!
A Bizarre First Meeting
Chapter 1
Harry Potter pushed his trolley at a run toward platform 9 ¾. His Uncle had waited until the last minute to leave, so now Harry had five minutes before the train left without him. When he passed through the barrier he let out a sigh of relief, and looked around for Ron and Hermione. They hadn't seen each other all summer. What with Hermione in Italy and the Weasleys in Rome visiting Charlie, it was the longest he'd been without his friends since they'd met.
Their letters had been the only interesting thing in his otherwise boring summer. Not that Harry was complaining. He would take a boring summer with the Durslys then another showdown with Voldermort any day.
It only took him a few seconds to spot a flash of red hair over the crowd of kids. Ron had reached 6"2 and towered over every one. Harry (finally) had had a growth spurt and was 5"11. Both boys had muscles from playing quidditch, and were to put it lightly HOT! Alas, Hermione had been left behind in the growing department at 5''5, but her hair had stopped that whole frizz thing. She'd filled out in all the right places, and was quite pretty.
"Ron! Hermione!" Harry called. They waved and walked over to him. Hermione gave him a hug while Ron put his trunk on the train.
"We were beginning to think you'd miss the train." Hermione told him as they looked for an empty compartment.
"My Uncle decided to sleep in this morning." Harry said, just glad to be away. Dumbledore had basically put him under house arrest or he'd have been in Rome with the Weasleys.
"Well that bloody well stinks, now doesn't it?" Ron said. "Here we are!" They sat down in the last compartment. Harry sat down and Ron sat across from him net to Hermione. Harry gave them a look at how close they were sitting. He crossed his arms over his chest, stretched out his legs, and waited. Ron started talking first.
"Well, you see Harry. During the summer, since my family was near Italy, Hermione and I got to see each other over the summer. Well of course it was over the summer, since it was during the summer. Not that we haven't seen each other before, seeing as we're friends and all." He started rubbing his hands together, his ears getting redder with every word. "Um, and um, since we got to spend some time together, we thought, what the hell, you know? And, um, one thing lead to another, and before-"
"We've started dating." Hermione interrupted his rambling. They were quite as they waited for Harry to respond.
"Is that it?" He asked. They looked at each other.
"Yeah." They said slowly. Harry smiled. "Its about bloody time! You two have liked each other since second year. What took you so long?"
"Ron's just thick I guess." Hermione said with a smile.
"Hey! That makes you just as thick as I am!" Ron said pretending to be insulted while putting his arm around her shoulders.
The train began to move as they start talking about their summers. It hadn't picked up full speed when they heard a big bang and the window was thrown open. All three quickly stood up with their wands drawn. Harry and Ron had to jump back when a backpack was thrown in through the window. Their backs were almost to the door, with Ron slightly in front of Hermione. As they watched a hand grabbed o to the edge of the window. Then another, as someone pulled themselves onto the moving train.
