The 6th Year Muggle Studies
This is my first fanfiction.. I know this first chapter isn't the best, and my summary kinda stinks too, but if you like the story, stick with it. I think (hopefully!!) that it will be better one Harry and his friends arrive at Hogwarts.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter Characters. The only character that is mine is the new teacher at Hogwarts that teaches Muggle Studies.
Harry Potter awoke once again with a horrible pain in his lightning bolt-shaped scar that was partially covered by his unruly jet-black hair. Harry had another nightmare/vision about Voldemort killing yet another innocent victim. Unfortunately, Harry couldn't remember the details of this particular nightmare, so he didn't feel it necessary to write to Dumbledore. Also, Harry's owl, Hedwig, hadn't returned from delivering a letter to the Weasley family. He couldn't survive another night trapped with the Dursleys. He was hoping that he could spend the summer with Ron and his family like he had the past summers. He loved visiting the Weasleys. There was Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny. There never was a dull moment at the Burrow, and Harry couldn't wait until he would get to spend some time with all of them.
Harry knew he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep now, so he decided to shift his though to something a little more pleasant. Ginny Wealsey. Ever since the summer before Harry's 5th year, he had saw Ginny as so much more than Ron's younger sister. He saw her as Ginny, the most beautiful girl at Hogwarts. She had changed so much since her first year, where she couldn't even look at Harry without blushing or shrieking and running into her room. Now she and Harry could have conversations for hours if they wanted to, just about stuff. Harry knew that she was over her crush on him. A picture of Ginny was constantly in his mind. He always saw her laughing with one of her brothers, or wrestling with them, but she was always having a good time. Ginny was also one of popular girls of her year. She was always with a big group of kids, and she was in the center of all the attention. The only problem was that at the end of her 4th year, she and Colin Creevy had celebrated their 3 month anniversary of being a couple. He knew that she was off limits, and that was too bad for Harry, because she was the only person that he saw himself being with.
Harry was pulled out of his daydream by a tapping on his window. When Harry looked out, he saw Hedwig outside with 3 letters attached to her leg. Harry opened the window and removed the letters from Hedwig, which gained him an affectionate nip on his finger. Hedwig then flew into her cage and took a sip of water, before settling down and falling asleep.
Harry picked up his letters and instantly knew that the first was from his best friend Ron Weasley. He opened the letter, and began to read.
Harry,
I've got some bad news. To sum it all up. you can't come over until like the last week of the summer holidays. One reason is because Dumbledore won't allow it. He thinks that Voldemort may be near and is looking for you. Another reason is Ginny. She has been really sick lately. I don't know how many times she has been to the hospital, I lost track. Bill and Charlie are home because they are so worried about her. This house is a wreck. Mum and Dad look really tired, I think they have been staying up almost every night to watch her, and if they do get some sleep, they are woken up by a piercing scream. Ginny feels horrible too. She doesn't know what's wrong with her. When she wakes up in the night she says that she is just scared from a nightmare, but I think there is more to it that she's not telling because she doesn't want us to worry. But I am. I have no idea how to help her. She must think I'm an awful brother but I just don't know what to do. Any ideas? Well sorry this letter is all bad news. I'll write to you if anything big happens. good or bad. Mum is calling my now. If the Dursleys give you any trouble, just remind them of your godfather.
Ron
This wasn't exactly the letter that Harry had been hoping for. He was really worried about Ginny. He decided he would write her and Ron letters once he finished reading the rest. The next letter that Harry picked up was from Hogwarts. He wasn't expecting a letter with his school supplies until later in the year, so something must be up. He opened the letter rather quickly due to his curiosity of what was inside.
Dear Mr. Potter,
I regret to inform you that you teacher; Professor Trewanly was murdered in her home by death eaters three days ago. You will need to choose another class to take Divination's place in your sixth year. If I may, I would recommend Muggle Studies. The curriculum has changed and there is a new teacher (Professor Jacquelyn Bell) who I have met many times before, and we have become great friends. I think that you will enjoy her class. I hope you can enjoy your summer, and stay out of trouble.
Professor McGonagal
This letter shocked Harry. How could a teacher of Hogwarts be murdered? True, Harry didn't really like Divination, yet he couldn't understand how she could have been murdered. His hatred for Voldemort just continued to grow and grow with each day.
Harry pushed that thought to the back of his mind as his eyes fell upon the last letter. He wasn't sure who this letter was from, but he wanted to read it so he opened the letter very carefully. He saw that the neat handwriting must have meant it was from a girl, but he knew Hermione was on a trip in America with her parents, and she wouldn't be able to contact Harry for about a month. This letter read.
Harry,
I need your help. Ever since the Chamber of Secrets I have been having horrible nightmares of what Voldemort is doing. And I think that these nightmares may actually be happening! I wake up in so much pain. I don't know what I should do. I also have been very sick lately. I don't want my family to worry, I can tell they are all tired and that they are so worried. But I don't know what's wrong. Please, if you can, I need some help. Ginny
P.S. Sorry to sort of be throwing this at you. I know I am just Ron's little sister, and it's ok if you can't help me, I'll understand.
The last part of the letter sort of shocked Harry. He didn't want Ginny to think he didn't care about her. So he decided he would show her just how much he cared. He would do everything he could think of to help Ginny. Sleep was now the last thing on Harry's mind.
