"Welcome to another
year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry!
The other
professors and I wish to be the first to say that this year is
going
to be the best one yet." Professor Albus Dumbledor smiled down at
the
students.
The Final Battle
the summer before had wiped a lot of the students
out. Colin
Creevy, Gregory Goyle, Cho Chang's little sister and so many
more.
Yes, they were missing quite a few of their classmates, parents and
teachers. This year would have many san undertones.
However, death
has a way of being people, sometimes complete
opposites, together.
"This year we must come together like
never before. Don't let the
events of the past year throw you
off your course. On that note, I would like
to introduce
our Head Boy and Girl! Would Hermione Granger and Draco
Malfoy
please come up here! Congratulations!"
The two students rose
up amid the cheers of their classmates. As
they were
walking up to the Professors table food appeared all around them.
They stood together in front of the students and the
Professors. Deciding
with out words to let the past die
they grasped hands and shook.
"Congratulations Malfoy. This
year is going to be a interesting one,
if nothing else."
"Same to you Granger. Lets rock this year shall we?"
She
smiled and nodded. Facing the school again they raised their
clasped hands and punched them high into the air. The
students cheered again
and then went back to dinner.
"Hermione,
Draco after dinner please make sure all the students get
to where
they need to be, and then meet me back here. I shall show you
to
your living quarters then."
"Thank you for this
amazing honor. This is something I've wanted
since first year.
I am so flabbergasted!" Hermione was the first to
speak.
"Yes, Thank you Sir." Draco added.
"This
year is going to be a good one. I can feel it." Professor
Dumbledore replied. With that the two students returned to
their seats.
"Wow! Hermione! That is so
very cool! Bugger all! Now we can't
sneak around!"
Ron's face went from very excited to extremely upset in two
seconds flat. The group burst into laughter.
"Congratulations
Hermione." A small voice piped up from the other
side of Ron.
"Thank you Ginny."
She smiled at the younger witch briefly, and then
turned back to
her friends.
The younger girl looked away, wising with all her
heart that she was
a part of their group. With a sigh Ginny
Weasley stood. Casting a final
glance at the 'Golden
Trio' she walked out of the Great Hall. One pair of eyes
followed her out, eyes of a stormy blue grey.
Walking
through the halls Ginny thought back on the summer before.
So
much death caused by one annoying little man. Colin Creevy, that one
had
hit her hard. Colin was her best friend and she missed
him
terribly.
Her older brother Percy, fallen while
fighting for the dark side. Not that that
had been a big
surprise. Once he had betrayed his family... it was just
a
matter of time.
Draco's eyes followed her out of
the Great Hall. A look that didn't
go unnoticed by the
staff table. Sighing he turned back to his food,
playing
with it, not eating it.
Ginny stopped outside a
picture of Marshal McMarshmallow and pressed
her finger against
one of the frames many knot holes. The portrait
smiled
at her and swung open. The room behind the portrait was filled
with
flowers and sunshine. She looked on, amazed at what
she saw.
The room had never done this before. It had been a
bachelors study,
full of cherry wood and dark leather. Books
covering the walls and random
artifacts all over. It had
also been a courtesan's boudoir when she, Hermione
and Lavender
decided to do a girly night. They didn't know how to get
there
though, she made sure of that.
Snapping back to the present
she looked at the beautiful flowers and
things surrounding her.
There was a brook in the coroner, bubbling away
cheerfully.
She grinned and kicked off her shoes. Sitting down she
stuck
her feet into the cool water. Smiling she lay back and let her
sadness be washed away.
This room, her own private room of
requirement was frequented by one
other person; she knew that
only because he would occasionally leave things
in the room.
They were never there at the same time however. With the
cool
water rushing around her ankles and the birds chirping in
the air above
her, she was lulled to sleep.
