They were surrounded by new students of eleven years old, all happy and anxious to be sorted to their respective house. One little blonde haired girl was totally pushed against an older student.
"Sorry, they pushed me." said the young girl shyly to tall boy.
"It's fine, it is the mainly reason why me and couple of my friends are here. To take care of too much overjoyed students. Are you excited?" asked the tall and kind boy.
"Of course! It's just that I'm not born from a pure blood magic family, that's what I'm worried about." said the student with an insecure face.
"You must have heard Malfoy talking about mud bloods. Don't be frightened by others who can speak this way about you. What is your name?" asked the tall boy.
"Sandra August." answered the young child.
"You are the first student on the list to be sorted. Where do you want to be sorted?"
"Gryffindor!"
"I'm a Gryffindor. Hope you'll join me and my friends, my name is Ronald Weasley." declared the tall student.
"Really?" asked the young Sandra.
"Serious." said Ron giving her a wink.
"Well, Mr. Weasley you are doing a good job with young students. Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley take care of bringing them all together, you are at your sixth both of you now show them where they'll need to be placed for the Sorted Hat." ordered warmly Professor McGonagall to her two students.
"She is in a good mood." said Harry with a grin.
"Well, who would have thought that replacing Hagrid while he is on his honeymoon would be fun?" said Ron with a grin, also.
"I have to admit that it is funny, to watch them all excited to attend Hogwarts." said Harry watching the little students.
"Same thing, but Malfoy is also starting to frighten some students, particularly this little Sandra, imagine if she is sorted to Slytherin." said Ron beginning to sound like Hagrid.
"I rather not, so should you mate. What's up between you and Hermione? She ignored you all the way to Hogwarts." asked Harry, totally bored with his two best friends constantly fighting about probably nothing, again.
"Look, I am as confused as you are right now." sighed Ron helplessly.
"Suppose you are." corrected Harry for his delusional friend.
"I don't suppose I am confused-
"You are not confused." retorted Harry.
"Believe me I am what I am, don't tell what I'm not, Harry." Warned Ron a bit pissed off.
"Hey, it was my only alternative." retorted his friend.
"I can't believe that your only alternative is to make me pissed off at you!" exclaimed Ron.
"Get use to it, it has been six years that we know each other. Don't you think that I am well place to know how to piss you off?" said Harry with a knowing grin.
"I thought that only one who knew how to do that was Malfoy, now you!" said Ron faking an insulted voice.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley! You are here to lead to the Great Hall not to talk!" said Snape with a venomous voice.
"Severus, the students are following them. I don't see any problem." delivered McGonagall to the potion teacher.
"Change your glasses, then. I even regret Hagrid." said Snape almost joking.
"You just said a joke, Severus. I think we have a good influence on you." said Minerva McGonagall smiling proudly at Harry and Ron.
"Potter and Weasley, you must be mistaken." said Snape in disgust.
"Students, welcome to Great Hall!" cheered Harry and Ronald opening the gigantic doors.
They lead the students and placed into a alphabetical line in order to be sorted. The Sorted Hat was gently placed in front everyone. Dumbledor greeted them all with a warm smile and invited them to be sorted.
"The first student will be Sandra August." said the Headmaster leading the young to the chair.
"Don't be frighten, I know someone talked to you earlier and said the same thing to you." said the old man mentioning Ron to the young girl.
She regained her smile and sat on the chair.
"Hum, you have lots of trouble thoughts my young girl, a little bit too much excited are we?" asked The Sorting Hat, smiling with ugliness.
"I must put you in Gryffindor, you also have a strong mind. You remind me of Hermione Granger, a sixth year Gryffindor. I suggest that you follow her footsteps, you'll go far in life." said the Sorting Hat with more gentleness than it ever had used.
Sandra smiled and joined the cheering Gryffindor table, but she sat next to Ron. She was blushing a little.
"You were right. Thank you." said Sandra shyly to Ron, surprisingly enough she got the attention of the whole sixth year students, including Hermione.
"Pah! Told you. Deep done, everyone wants to be a Gryffindor. You are welcome." said Ron nicely to this little blonde haired girl. After that she left her seat to go sit next to some Gryffindors of her age.
"Didn't know you were so nice with young people." said Lavender with admiration.
"There's many things that people don't know about me." answered Ron simply.
"Like, he is a prat! An egoistical prat!" spat Hermione with acidity.
"What is the matter with you? You are the prat, you don't event have the courage to talk to me in the face!" spat back Ron.
"What am I doing now?" asked Hermione, grimacing.
"You are acting like a mad cow! It is not my fault if you had been dump by Krum! You are selfish because the only reason why you are mad at me is because you didn't get to dump him first!" yelled Ron, leaving the table and his untouched plate.
"He dumped you, the sick prick. How could he?" said Lavender with concern. Hermione and Lavender started to be friend the previous year, much to everyone's surprise.
"He saw me and Ron kissing." said Hermione to the edge of crying.
"That is why you are ignoring Ron?" asked Harry.
"You are a genius Harry." said Ginny sarcastically.
"Shod off." said Harry with his pride hurt slightly.
"I'm going up, to talk to Ron and bring him his plate. Don't want him to starve to death." said Ron's sister to her friends.
Few minutes later...
Ginny came back to the Great Hall, with a plate full of food. She was looking quite worried.
"He is no where to be find. At least, not near the Gryffindor tower." said Ginny sadly.
"Probably outside." said Lavender.
"Remember last year, he went outside and got attacked by a giant gnome. He went outside again, and got attacked once again, except that it wasn't a giant gnome this time, but a giant blood sucking bat. We will hear about him by Mrs. Pomfrey." said Harry sarcastically and beginning to sound too much like Ron.
"Why don't we go after him? Why not simply Hermione, since they need to clear things off?" suggested Lavender.
"What if he is outside and he gets attacked by a giant mad cow named Hermione, this will surely be better." said Hermione furious at everyone.
"Don't blame us for your faults, you know, Ron has been wrong many times and he admit it now it is your turn." said Ginny in furry.
"What is the matter with all of you? I went to the bathroom, you thought I'd leave my plate simply like this?" said Ron confused by the girls outburst.
"Thank God you are here. They were beginning to pull their hair." joked Harry.
"Well, can girls be girls?" asked Lavender to the boys.
"Guess, so." said Ron chewing a bite of chicken.
"Ron, I need to talk to you." said Hermione stepping on her pride.
"Sure, you do but I don't need to. You were right, I'm an egoistical prat among other insults you can spit at me. Let's not go backwards, because going forward is hard enough for me." said Ron genuinely hurt by Hermione's insults.
"Ron don't be a -
"A what? An Idiot? Nah, the Idiot is Krum. Go find yourself a new Idiot then!" said Ron redder than his hair, in front of everyone, the teachers, the Slytherins who were laughing their ass off. He was tired of her attitude, sick of it. He knew tough, that he was acting like a child under his man figure.
He left one again, leaving his almost empty plate behind. He was leaving his friends behind for a while, he needed peace so he went to the library.
"I hate it when he does that." said Harry speaking of his best friend's hot temper.
"At least he doesn't hex anyone." said Seamus wwith his good old Irish accent.
"Well, it would have been better than make somebody cry." said Neville mentioning Hermione.
"You are right on this Neville." said Parvati looking at Hermione sadly.
"It is none of your business!" said Hermione crying her hands covering her face. Ginny gently pat Hermione's shoulders, whispering something in her ears. After they both left, leaving Harry and Lavender and the others behind.
"So complicated between these two, a real roller coaster!" sighed Lavender.
"Can you believe it, it has been a year that you are hanging with us and you are tired already!" said Harry getting as sarcastic as Ron ever had been.
"I'm not tired. It is just tearing me apart, it's sad. We should knock them down, put them in a little boat. Let them float over the sea alone, far away form any kind of civilization and let them eat each other. The Earth will be in peace, believe me." answered Lavender with so much determination that Harry started to laugh loudly.
"Good Idea! Seriously, they should sort this out. Once and for all!" said Harry with all his seriousness.
"Yeah, but it will be easy for them." said Lavender with a hint of sadness in her voice drinking her last sip of pumpkin juice.

At the library, once Ron got passed the old hag Mrs. Book Worm.
He went to a section of old books. He immediately saw at huge book put on the top of the shelve. Higher than any other book that a student could find in the library. It had a label that indicated, restricted area, he took it off and put it in his pockets. On the book was written 'True magic within' in magnificent golden embroider. It was covered of probably really expensive black velvet, with a bookmark made of brown leather.
He turn the old thick pages one by one, with really rare spells, probably unknown ones. They were particularly dark spells to wake the dead to put back spectres into life and light, or hopeless spells for impossible love worst restricted love. At the last pages he found a very long spell called 'True man within' with a very tragic and sad legend following the spell. He also watched the beautiful drawings probably made by author himself, he found four moving pictures, he looked on the back of the pictures. It was written: Arthur Weasley 7th year, James Potter 5th year, Molly Renard 7th year and Lily Evans 5th year. These were the names on who the spell had been used, the spell on who the man of their dreams will reveal his feelings to the face of the world and swear it upon sky and sea. Ron found it a bit silly, to do a love spell but he wondered if it will work a girl or woman.
