The twelve year old Harry Potter sat down on his bed in his room underneath the stairs. According to the clock in the living room Ron Weasley was already 15 minutes late for their meeting to go to Diagon Alley. The Dursley's were out buying Dudley a new closet full of clothes for the new school year. Ron and Harry had perfectly planned this event so that the Dursley's wouldn't be home when Harry went to escape Privet Drive. All was according to plan, except of course, Ron's tardiness. Harry sighed and went deep into thought.
The Dursley's had never given him what he wanted. It was almost as if his scar could hurt just by that fact. Harry just couldn't stand these stupid muggles any longer. He supposed other students would love the summertime, but he never did. All this waiting around, he was happy that it was finally September so that he could leave to his real home, Hogwarts. There they had witches, wizards, and magical beasts. They had goblins, ghosts, and magical feasts. There everyone thought he was so cool, and though he didn't want to admit it, he absolutely loved the attention. It truly was all he needed.
His happiness was beginning to gather inside of him of all the fun times they were going to have. He would actually see his friends again, and laugh with them. Then he began thinking of Quidditch, and how after 3 months, he'd finally have an excuse to fly his firebolt across the sky. And of one thing he was determined, this year no one would die. And it was going to be totally awesome.
He could feel his phoenix feather wand in the back of his pocket. He'd finally be able to do magic again, and go to his favorite class, Defense Against the Dark Arts again. Harry impatiently turned to the tiny clock on the desk in front of him. Where was Ron? Harry certainly couldn't wait any longer to get back to Hogwarts.
Suddenly there was a loud bang. Harry rushed outside to find his best friend Ron covered in soot. His flaming red hair, pulled back with a blue sweatband, was visible even among the ashes around his hair. With Ron by his side, they made a totally awesome buddyship.
Harry ran up to him to give him a big hug, despite his outward appearance at the time.
"Hey, sorry it took me so long I had to go get some floo powder." said Ron. "But grab your trunk and everything you need and let's get going!"
Harry was so wrapped up in his excitement he forgot what they were doing.
"Where are we going?" He said with a huge grin across his face.
"To Diagon Alley of course!" replied Ron enthusiastically.
"Cool!" excaimed Harry.
Harry grabbed his trunk and together they walked up to the Dursley's fireplace.
"Oh what was that incantation again?" Asked Ron, frusterated.
"Floo powder power?" Said Harry, answering Ron's question.
"Oh, right." He replied.
Together they yelled "Floo Powder Power!" 3 times until they began to ascend inside the chimney.
Together they flew over millions of chimney's until they were dragged into a nearby one in flourish and blott's.
"It's so good to be going back." Said Ron with a grin on his face. "Even though we don't go for the classwork."
Harry laughed. "As long as we're together we're gonna kick some ass."
Ron smiled harder, if that was even possible. "And how do you suggest we do that this year?"
"The usual," replied Harry. "Save the world, stay up all night, sneak out of our dorm..."
"But let's not forget that we need to perform well in class if we are ever going to pass our exams!" said Hermione from behind them.
Harry jumped. How long had Hermione been there?
"Hermione!" whined Ron. "Why do you have to be such a buzzkill?"
"Because, guys," Hermione replied, obviously annoyed. "School's not all about having fun! We need to study hard if we want to be good witches and wizards!"
Ron and Harry shared a glance and both rolled their eyes.
"UGH!" exclaimed Hermione. "I may be a bit frumpy but I'm smart. Look at my grades! All Outstanding for a start! What I may lack in looks, I do make up for in heart. And well, that's totally awesome."
Hermione's dissaproval began to turn into excitement. "This year I plan to study a lot!"
"That would be cool if you were actually hot." mumbled Ron under his breath so Hermione couldn't hear. Harry elbowed Ron.
"We're the only friends that she's got!" He said while Hermione ran off to go look at a book on a nearby shelf.
"Fine then, that's cool." Ron replied cooly.
"What's cool?" Said Hermione making her way back to the boys.
"Uhh...That book you were reading!" said Ron, making something on the spot.
"I know isn't it awesome?" Said Hermione, with a huge grin on her face.
"Totally awesome." said Harry reassuringly.
After purchasing their required spellbooks, the trio walked back to the main street to head towards Madame Malkin's to purchase new robes.
"I'm sick of all this summer and waiting around." sighed Ron.
"I know what you mean!" Replied Hermione. "I just can't wait to go tackle what's next for this year!"
Looking at Ron's expression, Harry could tell that's not quite what he meant, but he eyed him so he would keep his mouth shut.
Just then a girl with flaming red hair that resembled Ron's ran up to them.
"Ron!" She screamed. "You were supposed to take me to Madame Malkin's! And you already used those sickles mom gave me for my robe fitting!"
"Who's this?" asked Harry, curious.
"Oh this is my stupid little dumb sister Ginny, she's a freshman." He said glaring at her.
"Ginny this is Harry, Harry Potter."
Ginny's eyes immediately widened. "Oh! You're Harry Potter!" she said flabbergasted. "You're the boy who lived!"
"Yeah..." Said Harry uncomfortably. "And you're...uhh...Ginny."
"It's Ginevra." Said Ginny grinning with her arm stretched out.
Harry didn't shake her hand.
"Cool. Ginny's fine." He said, trying to relieve her nervousness.
Ron walked over to Ginny. "Stupid sister!" He yelled as he clapped his hands together over her head. She wailed in annoyed surpise. "Don't crowd the famous friend!"
Across the street a crowd of Ravenclaw girls began to form. They seemed to be gossiping together about the latest news on the street. Two of the girls were more visible than the rest. One was a burnette with a country accent, and talking to her was a beautiful young asian girl.
"Whoa..." Said Ginny. "Who's that?"
"That's..uhh" Harry sighed happily. "That's...Cho chang."
"The girl Harry's been totally in love with since freshman year." Said Ron, rolling his eyes.
Ginny's excited face soon turned into one of gloom.
"Yeah, but he won't say anything to her." Hermione said, glaring at Ron when he wasn't looking. Ron turned around, but not before Hermione switched her glance to a nearby shop sign.
"Well yeah, you never tell a girl you like her." he said in his know-it-all tone. "It makes you look like an idiot."
Ginny's face seemed to twist into another form, a form of hope. Harry was beginning to be very scared by this girl. Ginny ran straight up to the asian girl and bowed to the girl respectfully.
"Konichiwa Cho Chang. I am Ginny Weasley." She put extra emphasis on her name and offered her hand out in a friendly manner.
"I ain't Cho Chang!" The girl said angrily.
Ron walked straight up to Ginny.
"That's Lavender brown!" He yelled, as if it was obvious. He repeated the motion he did earlier by surprising her with a clap above her head. "Racist sister!"
"Hey! It's alright! I'm Cho Chang 'yall." said the burnette with a country accent.
"She's perfect." sighed Harry, staring at Cho.
"Too bad she's dating Cedric Diggory then huh?" said Ron, smiling happily as he walked back over to Harry.
Harry's blood began to angrily pump through his body. "Who the hell is Cedric Diggory?"
Just as he said it, none other than Mr. Fake smile himself walked right up to Cho Chang.
"That's him." Said Ron.
Cedric walked right up to Cho Chang. Even from across the street, you could hear their mushy conversation.
"I am so in love with you!" Said Cedric. "I would sing my love aloud for you if I had too!"
The happy couple skipped over into the direction of King's Cross with the other Ravenclaw girls following close behind.
"I hate that guy." Said Harry jealously.
Ron turned towards his sister. "So are we going to get those robes or not?" He asked.
"Okay! Alright! I'm going!" She said in an annoyed tone.
"Gosh sister!" He said to himself.
They walked for a few blocks until they came across Neville, being bullied by two Slytherin's. One was rather tall, and had a vicious voice, and the other was rather short, but mouthy all the same.
"Present your arm nerd!" Yelled the tall Slytherin.
Neville grudgingly offered his arm.
"Burn Hex!" Yelled the Slytherin as he pointed his wand at Neville's forearm. Neville winced in pain. Ginny rushed to Neville's side and rushed him out of the way.
"Crabbe and Goyle." Said Ron informativly.
Harry ran up to the bullies."Hey! Why don't you just leave Neville Longbottom alone! Huh?" He said bravely.
Goyle turned to Crabbe and they shared an amused gaze.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Harry Potter. You think just because you're all famous, you can boss everyone around!" Yelled Goyle.
"No. I just don't think it's cool for guy's your size to be picking on guys like Neville! C'mon!" Said Harry.
"Well you know what I think?" Asked Goyle. "I think glasses are for nerds!"
Goyle ripped Harry's round frames off of his face and bent them with his knee.
"We hate nerds!" He continued.
"And girls!" Said Crabbe, gesturing towards Ginny and Hermione.
Goyle shoved the now broken glasses into Harry's hands.
"You asked for it!" Said Ron, scared. "You don't mess with Harry Potter! He beat the dark lord when he was just a baby!"
"Everyone just calm down." Said Hermione. She walked straight up to Harry and aimed her wand at the broken frames in his hands. "Acculus Repairo!" She exclaimed. Instantly the glasses reformed themselves into their original state.
"Woa! Cool!" Said Harry, dumbstruck that Hermione had used magic outside of Hogwarts.
Hermione nodded approvingly. "Now let's just leave these big chilidish jerks alone."
They were about to walk away when none other than the leader of the Slytherin pack came around the corner.
"Did somebody say Draco Malfoy?" He said with a smile on his face.
"What do you want Draco?" Sighed Harry.
"Crabbe! Goyle!" He said summoning his minions. "Be a pair of pals and go pay for my robes will you?" He said offering them a silver sickle. He then made a circle around the group of friends as he spoke.
"So, Potter! Back for another year at Hogwarts are you? Maybe this year you'll wise up and hang out with a higher caliber wizard." He said striking a pose at his last statement.
"Look, Draco." Began Harry. "Ron and Hermione are my best friends in the entire world and I wouldn't trade them for anything." He walked up to his pair of friends and put their arms around them. Ginny tried to join them but Ron pushed her aside.
"Have it your way." Said Draco, rolling his eyes. He turned his attention to Ginny. "Wait. Don't tell me..." He said, smirking. "Red hair, hand-me-down clothes, and a stupid complexion. You must be a Weasley!"
Ron stepped forward, offended. "Oh my god, lay off Malfoy! She may be a pain in the ass ok? But she's MY pain in the ass."
"Well isn't this cute!" Said Malfoy. "It's like a little looser family!" He turned to Crabbe and Goyle who had just returned. "Hogwarts has really gone to the dogs, luckily next year, I'll be transferred to pigfarts!"
By this time the trio of friends, plus Ginny had already headed over to the Hogwarts express to load their luggage on board.
"This year you bet I'm going to get out of here. The reign of Malfoy is coming near. I am going to have the best wizard career! And it's going to be totally awesome."
His friends nodded understandingly, listening to what he was saying, even though they had heard it a million times before.
"The world better look out because soon everyone will do whatever I say, and potter won't be in my way, and then I'll be the one who is totally awesome." He continued on.
"Yeah, you'll be the one who's totally awesome." Said Goyle encoragingly.
Meanwhile Hermione was rushing the boys onto the Hogwarts Express. "We don't want to miss this train!" She exclaimed loud enough, so that the remaining students in the shops began to rush. Once everyone had boarded there was a loud choo-like noise, and slowly but steadily the train began to rush forward.
Once Ron had convinced Ginny to go share a car with some other freshman the trio began to talk amongst themselves about the coming year. They weren't too sure of what was to come, but one this was for sure, getting back to Hogwarts was going to be totally awesome.
