Hogwarts High School

Where magic doesn't exist and anything can happen

Chapter 1

I walked through the doors of Hogwarts High after being dropped off by my godfather Sirius Black. It was the first day of sophomore year, after what seemed like a very short summer break. I nodded and said hello to the numerous people waving at me and shouting "Harry", what can I say im popular. I have never known why everyone looks up to me or why im so popular, I guess they just want to be my friend. Don't think im bragging or anything for there are a few people in this school who hate my guts. Oh, I should probably mention my name, the names Potter, Harry Potter.

Two red headed boys ran up to me shouting, "Harry, How good to see you mate. We barely get to see you; you only come over to our house every single day."

"Oh sorry guys, I will make it my priority to come over more, how about once a year" I joked.

"That's more like it" the red heads joked, their names are Fred and George Weasley, the brothers of my best friend Ron Weasley. I love the Weasley's; their house was the first place that ever felt like home to me. The Weasley's are extremely poor, and have lots of children, all with bright red hair and freckles. After my parents died when I was only a baby my abusive aunt and uncle reluctantly took me in. While I was living with them I practically lived at the Weasley's to get away from them and my bully of a cousin, Dudley. At least that was until two years ago when my dad's best friend Sirius took me away and gave me a real home.

I said goodbye to Fred and George who went off to finish the plans for their first day of school pranks. I opened up my gold locker, the sophomore boy's lockers are gold and the girls are maroon. The freshman lockers are yellow and black, the junior lockers are blue and silver, and the senior lockers are green and silver. I start to put my stuff in the locker when Ron appears.

"Hey buddy, long time no see" Ron says while giving me a hug.

"Funny that's exactly what your brother told me" I say while shutting my locker.

~Hermione's POV~

I walk down the hallway of Hogwarts High School listening to my fellow females giggle about cute boys and who was dating who. All these girls standing in their little groups, blocking the hallway so I can't get around them. Unlike the girls around me, flipping their hair and flirting with every guy they see, high school is not a social event for me. I actually like going to my classes and earning good grades. Im not athletic enough to go to college on an athletic scholarship but im smart enough to get their on an academic scholarship.

Im considered a geek, don't get me wrong I love being a geek and I think that people respect me for this. Other than being smart people don't really notice me, im perfectly fine with this. I like being with my friends and everything but I prefer to be by myself. Speaking of friends, I see my best friends ahead and wave to them.

"Hey Mione," Ron said to me when I reached them. "Whats your schedule look like for this year?"

"Advanced algebra two, Biology, Geometry, French two, Lunch, Advanced English 10, Italian one and Physical Education," I recited having already memorized my schedule.

"Hey we almost have the same schedule," Harry said. "Advanced Algebra Two, Biology, Geometry, Spanish two, Lunch, Advanced English 10, American history and Physical Education."

"You guys doubling up on math this year and taking advanced English?" Ron asked.

"Yeah I know, but Hermione convinced me to take advanced classes because it will look good on my college application" Harry explained.

"Harry you have been our class president for four years now and will most likely be president this year. Isn't that enough to get into college" Ron said dimly.

"I don't want enough, I want to exceed expectations, study pre law and law to become an attorney." Harry said. It has been my dream to become an attorney ever since Sirius was arrested for a crime he did not commit.

"Do you have any classes with us Ron? I asked

"Biology, Geometry and P.E with the both of you and Spanish and History with Harry"

"That's plenty of classes plus we all have lunch together" I said.

Two very lost freshmen wandered into the sophomore hallway looking for their lockers, they were Ginny Weasley; Ron's little sister, and her best friend Luna Lovegood.

"Ginny, Luna, you guys look really lost, need any help" Harry asked.

"Yes, Fred and George made me a map, but after fourteen years I should have known better then to take it" Ginny explained while giving Harry the map.

"Good thing we found you guys for Fred and George assigned you first period in the janitors closet, second in the teachers lounge, third in a senior teachers room. Fourth appears to be in a senior English room, fifth is in a junior history room, and sixth is in the choir teacher's office. Seventh is in the auditorium and apparently your eating lunch on the roof. Ron remember last year when the twins made us a map and tricked us in to going into the girls locker room" Harry laughed.

"Oh yeah, I was mad at them for two days, the gym teacher helped us out thought. Once we got to class, our first period teacher just looked at me and said 'Your Fred and George's brother, I understand, now take a seat'" Ron reminisced.

"Moral of the story, if you get lost just say your Fred and George's little sister. The teachers will take pity on you especially since you're a freshman" I said helpfully.

"Thanks you guys," Luna said in her low, dreamy voice "Ginny lets go find our proper homeroom." Luna has straggly, waist length dirty blonde hair and a permanent dreamy expression on her face. Most people find Luna strange due to the fact that she wears a paperclip necklace, always has a pencil stuck behind her ear, and she looks at magazines upside down.

"An adventure sounds fun. Let's go Luna, Seeya Harry, Hermione, Ron" Ginny said, she then turned around and walked away with Luna.

They wandered off just as the bell rang to signal the start of classes, Harry and I went downstairs to algebra and Ron headed to English.

~Ron's POV~

I walked into class and took my seat without ever glancing up at the seating chart on the board. Im always in the last seat in the row farthest away from the door, I like my spot im out of sight and the teachers will forget to call on me.

Neville sits down in the seat in front of me, I nod at him and he turns around so we can compare schedules. We have three classes together English, P.E, and Biology. My least favorite person strolled into the room, Draco Malfoy. He sat in the seat next to Neville.

"Longbottom, Weasley" Draco hissed while taking his seat in the middle row. "Hey Weasley where's Potter, haven't you guys have the same classes since kindergarten."

"Harry's taking advanced classes with Hermione this year Malfoy. This year is going to stink I have to start out my day with you" I said angrily. I hate Malfoy so much not only do I have to deal with him during class, but I also have soccer practice with him later.

~Ginny's POV~

I walked into my first period advanced English nine class with Luna and took my seat. The teacher, professor McGonagall, started the class by taking the usual roll call, but when she came to my name she looked up and smiled.

"Yes, the last Weasley, I like you already mainly because you're not a boy. I hope you're not as troublesome as your brothers mainly Fred and George" McGonagall said.

This is the part that im looking forward to, having my teachers compare me to my brothers all day, how can I compare to them. Bill was student body president, won the most scholarships in the history of Hogwarts, and basically led the school. Charlie was an amazing athlete, I don't think there is an athletic record or award he didn't break or win. Percy is an academic, even more than Hermione, who has the best ACT, SAT, and AP scores in the whole country which is why he is at Stanford on a academic scholarship. Fred and George are pranksters who are secretly the favorite of every teacher in the school. Ron is popular; he is the best friend of Harry Potter so naturally everyone knows his name. I on the other hand have nothing going for me, im just known as the one girl Weasley, this year I want to discover myself.

I went through my morning classes and so far I have liked them all, my first problem is where I am going to sit at lunch. All of my friends second lunch so I was forced to sit by my annoying brothers. Luckily Hermione and Harry are also sitting with us, Hermione is one of my good friends and Harry… well lets just say I have had a crush on him ever since fifth grade.

"Are you guys ready for our first prank of the school year" Fred and George said as they sat down at the lunch table.

"Im not" Ron said, "I still have the burn marks from your last prank."

"Hey we told you to either stay 5 feet away or wear protective gear," Fred and George defended themselves.

All of a sudden a series of screams came from the boys and girls bathrooms, the victims of Fred and George's prank came running out with red all over their hands.

"What did you guys do" I asked with worry in my voice.

"Oh don't worry about Gin, we only poured red kool-aid in the facets" Fred said nonchalantly.

"We thought about using purple, but sadly purple is not are hair color. What a shame, huh" George replied.

"FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY TO THE OFFICE PLEASE" came a voice over the intercom.

"Our first trip to the office this school year" Fred and George yelled as they skipped to the office together.

"Complete nutters, the both of them" Ron said.

After lunch I headed to science where I met the worst teacher ever, Professor Snape. He has long greasy black hair, a long crooked nose and a complete hatred of Weasleys.

After roll call he said, "Quiz time, whoever doesn't answer my questions correctly gets an F for the day. Miss. Weasley, you first, what is the distance from the sun to the earth?"

"Ahh…" I started

"Wrong, the answer is 92,960,000 miles; you have an F for the day" Snape pointed at me with a red dyed hand. It's official, Snape hates me, im going to fail science, and Fred and George are going to ruin my grade point average.

The rest of my classes went well so I will only be failing science this year, thank goodness. I headed to the car to do my homework and wait for my brothers to get done with soccer practice.

~Harry's POV~

I headed into the locker room to change for soccer practice, our coach is Hagrid and the team for this year is:

Fred and George (Mid fielders)

Lee Jordan (defender)

Dean Thomas (defender)

Seamus Finnegan (alternate)

Neville Longbottom (alternate)

Ron Weasley (Striker)

Draco Malfoy (Striker)

Ernie McMillian (alternate)

Anthony Goldstein (alternate)

And me (goal keeper)

After an excellent practice I headed to the library where Hermione had agreed to help me with our first algebra two homework.

~Hermione's POV~

I sat down with Harry at a table in the library and helped him with his homework, if I was helping on the first day I hate to see how the rest of the year is going to go. After our homework was done I asked him how soccer was coming along, I promised to come to their first game, we were having a nice chat and then he brought up Ron.

"So how have you liked him?" he asked.

"I will tell you that information when you tell me how long you have liked Ginny" I said, catching him off guard.

"Oh you are evil Granger and it all started this summer. One day I saw her as my best friend's younger sister and the next day I thought she looked incredibly hot in her swimsuit" he said.

"Oh, that's not good, has Ron found out" I asked.

"No and hopefully he never finds out, otherwise im dead. Now that I have told you my secret information, it's time for yours."

"Well, it happened over the summer, just like you I thought of him as my best friend and then the next day I had a crush on him, no big deal"

"Well, aren't we in a pickle"

"Harry, nobody says that anymore"

"Who made you the cool police" Harry said and pretended to look hurt at me making fun of him.

"Shut up" I told him.

At this moment Harry's phone vibrated.

"It's Sirius telling me to get home, Seeya Mione thanks for the help with my homework" Harry picked up his backpack and sports bag and headed for the door.

"Wait Harry" I stopped him before he opened the door and whispered "Please don't tell Ron I like him"

"I won't," he said.

Then he left the library, and ran around the corner out of my sight.
