"Harry!"

Harry Potter turned around to see his best friend, Ron Weasly and his two brothers who were in their 7th year at Hogwarts. Harry and Ron were in their 5th year.

"Harry! Ron!"

Harry and Ron turned around to see their other best friend, Hermione Granger running towards them.

Suddenly, they heard a barking at their feet and looked down. They saw Snuffles. In his mouth, he held a note. He dropped it at their feet. It said

Dear Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

I just wanted to tell you that I am staying with Professor Dumbledore this year because of what happened last year. I know you are going to think that it's not safe but I need to be around all three of you right now. Can you meet me some time this week in Dumbledore's office? I'm sure that Dumbledore will want to see you to.

Love from,

Padfoot

P.S. Don't try anything stupid this year.

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked up at once, but there was no Snuffles. In his place was a collar. On it, it said Snuffles. They figured they would give it to him when they saw him later that week. Just then, the scarlet train blew its whistle. They clambered onto the train and into a compartment. Ron leaned out the window.

"G'bye, Mum!"

"Good-bye Ron! Don't forget to wash your face!"

"MUM!"

Ron pulled his head back inside the compartment slightly flushed. Whether it was from the wind or from what his mother said, Harry and Hermione couldn't tell.

"So, who d'you think'll be the new DADA teacher?" Asked Harry.

"Well, I don't think that Moody's ever gonna come back to Hogwarts, or Professor Lupin. And I don't think that Lockhart's gonna return anytime soon," said Ron.

Harry gave a few coughs that sounded like,

"Hermione's" " 'Secret' " "Crush"

Hermione was too absorbed in her book to realize what they did. Well either that or she just ignored them. She did however look up when they started to snicker.

"You know, I wouldn't be talking if I were you."

"Oh yea? Why is tha-" Ron broke off without finishing his sentence.

"That's why."

Hermione had put a silencing spell on him to make him shut up. Ron turned to Harry for help, but he was laughing too hard to do much of anything but roll around on the floor of the compartment. When he finally, after many bouts of laughter did calm down enough, he took the spell of Ron.

"Why I oughta!"

"Why, what are you going to do? Especially to your girlfriends best friend?"

Ron subdued his words but glowered more then ever at the remark. His girlfriend was Lavender, and he was sort of embarrassed at the fact that he had a girlfriend, although to this day no one knows why.

Just then the loudspeaker announced that they would be arriving soon. They changed into their robes and sat down again. About ten minutes later they arrived and had reached the castle. When they reached it, they went straight to the Great Hall and sat down at their table. Collin Creevy immediately found Harry and asked for a picture. Since Harry felt very happy and giving, he slung his arm around Hermione's shoulder's (his girlfriend) and smiled. When Collin (quite dazed) finally walked away, Harry gave Hermione a peck on the cheek.

"What was that for?" Hermione asked.

"Just for being who you are" Harry replied and kissed her again, then sat down to enjoy the sorting.

A/N: I promise I will write more later, but I want to go and watch the thing on CH. 5; the tribute to the heroes that we have in this country. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
