HARRY POTTER – His Last Year in Hogwarts

"Almost A Perfect Life"

CHAPTER 1

It was early in the morning of 28th July and Harry Potter was awoken by a tapping on his window. He wore his glasses and looked outside the window. There, he saw a snow-white owl carrying an envelope.

He opened his window and let the owl in. He got the envelope and said, "That's a good girl, Hedwig." Hedwig gave Harry an affectionate nip with her beak. Harry, then, opened the envelope and read the letter it contained.

Dear Harry,

I received your invitation yesterday and my parents allowed me to come there and celebrate your birthday since they will be leaving for France on the 29th. They'll be dropping me off at the same date there – I hope you and Sirius won't mind me being a little early.

Ron wanted me to tell you that he'll be there on the 31st along with his family. But because of Mr. Weasley's job, they'll have to leave the day after. They wanted me to tell you that they'll just be staying overnight. I do hope that it's okay with you that I stay until September 1st

I can't believe that it's our last year in Hogwarts. Mrs. Weasley said that we might be Head Boy and Head Girl because we were last year's Prefects (just like Percy). I really hope so. My parents would be very happy about that.

See you then!

Love from,

Hermione

Harry reread the letter for about three times. He was so excited to see Hermione, and Ron, of course. But lately, he's been thinking about Hermione and he doesn't know why. It's just because I haven't seen her for a while, that's all, he thought. He put the letter away and headed downstairs.

There, he saw his godfather, Sirius. "Good morning, Harry," Sirius greeted.

"Good morning, Sirius," Harry replied as he took his seat in front of Sirius.

"What would you like to eat?" Sirius asked.

"I guess bread will do," Harry said. And with that, four slices of bread appeared on the plate before him.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome Harry. Did you get your friends' replies?"

"Oh, yeah. Hermione's going to stay with us until September 1st. She'll be coming tomorrow."

"Okay. How about Ron?"

"Ron and his family will be coming on the 31st and they'll only be staying for one night."

"Well, okay. So, Hermione will be going to Diagon Alley with us, right?"

"Yup."

Harry and Sirius were waiting for Hermione the next day. Sirius sat on one of the chairs in the kitchen while Harry was walking back and forth in front of Sirius. He was nervous to meet Hermione.

"Harry, are you okay? You seem tense. Are you nervous about meeting Hermione?" Sirius asked.

"I'm okay," Harry lied quickly, "why would I be nervous about meeting my best friend?"

"If you say so," Sirius replied giving Harry a suspicious look. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Sirius looked at Harry one more time before opening the door. There stood Hermione with her trunk. "Hello, Sirius," Hermione greeted, "Harry!"

"Good day, Hermione," Sirius replied, "Harry will show you to your room."

"Okay," Hermione replied.

Harry, being a gentleman, took Hermione's trunk and showed her to the guest room which was right beside Harry's.

"Hermione, it's so nice to see you again," Harry said as they went into the room. Harry noticed that Hermione has changed so much. She became taller. Her hair wasn't bushy anymore; it has grown long and into waves of brown. But her eyes were still the same: shiny pair of brown eyes.

"It's great to see you too, Harry," Hermione replied. She also noticed that Harry has changed very much. He grew taller. His hair was still messy but in a way that he became attractive because of it. And like hers, his eyes didn't change: it was still those shiny emerald pair of stones.

Just as they were lost in each other's eyes, Sirius came in the room and said, "Lunch time, you two." Sirius noticed that they were looking at each other and left the room before they could look at him.

After snapping out of their trances, Hermione blushed and silence fell in the room until Harry broke it and said, "Uhmm . . . We should probably go down for lunch."

"Err . . . Right . . . Lunch," Hermione replied.

At first, silence surrounded the table. Sirius then knew that he had to do something and said, "So, Hermione how was your summer?"

"Yeah, I'm dying to know what you did the whole time," Harry said quickly, forgetting about the "incident" they had earlier.

Sirius and Harry listened to Hermione as she narrated her summer story to them over lunch.
