Hogwarts At Last

 

"Harry, Ron, Hermione. It's so good to see you again," sounded a voice the three knew only too well belonged to one of their fellow Gryfindor's, Neville Longbottom. Neville also happened to be a fellow sixth years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The trio spun around to be greeted by an extremely happy Neville. Harry was the first one to notice the glint in the normally shy boy's eyes. "Hey Neville. What are you so happy about?" asked Harry in an amused sort of voice. Right when he was going to answer a group of Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs emerged from the train howling with laughter.

All the students that had just got off the train happened to be the members of the D.A. Lavender Brown being amongst them started to explain since Neville could no longer hold it in and burst into a fit of laughter. "We ran…into Malfoy…on the train…tried to hex…him…",Lavender managed to choke out between her laughter while indicating to Neville with her hand, "We hexed…the crap…out of him!". At the same precise moment a tall blonde with tentacles, antlers, and pure white fur stumbled out of the train looking very angry. Every student around burst out laughing not even trying to conceal their joy.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL LAUGHING AT!!", he screamed. "What's with the white fur?" asked Hermione between breaths. "IT'S NOT FUNNY GRANGER", yelled the blonde. "Did I mention Neville transfigured Malfoy into a ferret," added Lavender. "The only problem with that was none of us are very skilled at the counter charm so he still has fur!" Zacharias Smith said while wiping away tears of laughter. Eventually the laughing subsided and nobody noticed that in his rage Malfoy had gone back on the train muttering only six words under his breath, "You'll pay for this. All of you."

The warning whistle finally sounded and Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to say a hurried goodbye to the rest of the Weasleys. Ginny Weasley, Ron' younger sister was already there. "Now you all be good this year," said Mrs. Weasley while looking at both of her children, Harry, and Hermione in turn who were all trying to pull their most innocent faces. And with that they all boarded the train waving to the twins and to Mr. And Mrs. Weasley.

No sooner had they found an empty compartment then it was full with D.A. members. All of whom were telling and retelling the events of the morning before they arrived. "Neville was bloody brilliant with that transfiguration charm," said Dean Thomas, also a fellow Gryffindor and sixth year. "Yeah Neville. You really have to teach us that one so when we run into Malfoy and he tries anything funny we can turn him back into The Amazing Bouncing Ferret." Ron added. And to everybody's surprise and amazement, Hermione know-it-all you-must-follow-every-single-school-rule Granger nodded in agreement and offered to help. They had talked and laughed all the way to lunch and when the lunch trolly came they bought all kinds off sweets and lot's of butterbeer and had an extremely fun party in their compartment.

Finally it was time for the party to end. Everyone was disappointed, but cheered up once again when Ron reminded the all about the beginning of year feast that would take place shortly after the sorting. All the students walked into the Great Hall for the sorting and the feast. Harry, Ron, and. Hermione sat together as always. They looked around the hall finding what they had all been searching for. A disgruntled looking Malfoy sat at the Slytherin table still with his white fur. "As soon as he set foot in the castle he made for the hospital wing and came out ten minutes later looking pretty normal except the fact he still had fur." Ginny said following their gaze.

"How'd you know?" asked Ron looking at her slightly taken aback by her knowledge. "I followed him." is all she said with the all too famous Weasley Twin Glint in her eyes. Luckily Ron was cut off before he could say anything further on the topic by a sharp jab in the ribs from both Harry and Ginny who were sitting on either side of him. He opened his mouth to protest , but earned a stern look from Hermione who pointed at the staff table. Ron finally realized that Dumbledore had stood to give the usual beginning of year announcements. "Has the sorting already ended?" asked Ron uncertainly. "yes Ron" Hermione and Ginny said in unison. Harry just smiled at him amusedly.

The amazing feast finally ended and all students were sent up to their dormitories. Hermione and Ron were prefects so they were in the lead. When they finally got to their common room Harry, Ron, and Hermione went their separate ways each knowing that the other was thinking the same thing.

Hogwarts at last…

Harry and Ron walked up the spiral staircase and into their dormitory. "Harry, why do you think Ginny followed Malfoy to the hospital wing?" asked Ron sounding slightly uneasy. "Probably just to hex him some more mate." answered Harry half consciously. Truth be told he had been wondering the same exact thing. "G'night Harry." Ron whispered so he wouldn't wake up the already sleeping boys in the dormitory. "G'night Ron." came Harry's reply.
