Chapter One: Return to Hogwarts

"Harry!!" Hermione yelled banging on the door. Harry rolled over and moaned:

"What time is it?" he said pulling the covers over his head.

"Its almost 9 O'clock! Get up or we'll miss the train!!" Hermione yelled again looking at her watch then turning and walking down the stares.

"WHAT?!?!?!" Harry yelled sitting up in bed then quickly jumping out and changing. As he walked down the stares he heard Fred and George doing experiments in their room. They hadn't left since they graduated. Harry reached the kitchen and saw Mrs. Weasley bustling around getting him some breakfast. Harry turned around and started back up the stares up to Percy's room which is now Ron's room. His parents gave it to him when Percy moved out to live with his wife. They were entering their 7th and final year at Hogwarts and they were all prefects and hoping to be head boy and girl. Harry finally reached the door and opened it to find Ron and Hermione making out on the bed.

"Ok you two don't make me get the cold water." Harry said putting his hands on his hips and pretending to look annoyed. Hermione and Ron looked up at him. Ron rolled over letting Hermione get up and walk to the mirror to fix her makeup. Ron sat up and started to rub off her lipstick, which happened to be rather all over his mouth. Hermione stopped and turned to face Harry and then started to walk towards him in a circular manner.

"Ya know Harry it's not like me and Ron haven't heared you and Ginny doing something in Ron's old room. Now haven't we Ron." Hermione said slyly. Ron smiled and joined the sceam.

"Why yes Hermione you're absolutely right." He said joining her standing in front of Harry.

"Well um. um. well .um well." Harry stammered nervously. Hermione smiled and went back to fixing her makeup. Ron walked over to stand beside her his hand moved to her butt and squeezed it.

"Hmm!" Hermione said moving forward grabbing his arm and whispering something in his ear. Suddenly Mrs. Weasleys voice came from the bottom of the stares making them jump. She was calling them all down to get some last minute things done before they leave while Harry ate some breakfast.

"Bye mum see you at Christmas maybe!!" Ron called as he ran at the barrier between platform 9 and 10.

"Bye Mrs. Weasley thank you for having us!!" Called Harry and Hermione as they did the same one after the other. On the train they got a usual cabin towards the back of the train that was empty. As they settled in Harry said:

"Where's Ginny I thought she was right behind me?" Ron looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"You know Harry that she has other friends besides you Harry. You know that right?" He said rather sarcastically laughing slightly.

"I know that. Its just that we always sit together every year and it was just strange that's all." Harry said sheepishly looking down.

"Its ok,." Hermione said "We know how much you just love being with her and how much you lover her." Harry sat down across from Ron and Hermione. And they started to talk about the Quiddich World Cup that they went to that summer and how Ireland won by about 10 points from Scotland. While Hermione leaned ageist Ron and petted her little ginger fluff Crookshanks that slept happily in her lap. It went on like this until the compartment door opened and in walked Mafloy with his two sidekicks Crabbe and Goyal.

"Well, well, well" he said looking at Hermione and Ron.

"I thought you might have come to your senses and dumped Weasley and come to some one more fitting to your desires." Malfoy said again looking her up and down as she stood up and started to walk towards him with Ron and Harry behind her. Ron was red with anger and he kept clenching and unclenching his fists resisting the urge to punch Malfoy. Hermione put her hand on his shoulder and started to walk behind him in a circle sliding her hand loosly along his shoulder line. But stopping at his right shoulder she leaned in and nibbled his ear and whispered in his ear.

"I have a boyfriend right now so be a dear and get a girlfriend and even if I did ever dump Ron I would never come to you any way." And she finished walking around him and back towards Ron. Malfoy just looked her up and down again and said:

"Just if you change your mind I'm up two compartments if you want to join me for some romance." He said as he left the cabin and blew a kiss.

"Uh!" Hermione said in disgust as she sat down and crossed her arms.

"He is such a pervert!" She exclaimed again as Ron sat down next to her and put his arm around her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Forget him you're with me now and that's what matters." Ron said lifting her head with his finger tips so that she was looking at him. Hermione leaned forward and kissed him on the lips then hugged him.

"I love you so much." She whispered in his ear as he embraced her back.

"And I love you also. But much more." Ron whispered back. At that moment Ginny came in and ran at Harry and hugged him with such force that he was knocked down to the floor of the compartment.

"Hey lets play nice shall we." Harry said getting up and rubbing the back of his head then leaning agents the wall still on the floor.

"Sorry Harry. I'm just happy to see you that's all." Ginny said smiling sitting beside him. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hey Ron, Hey Hermione." Ginny said brightly

"What are you so happy 'bout?" Ron said

"Oh I'm just happy to be with you guys that's all." She said smiling happily.

"The train is going to stop soon. Hermione come with me to get my robes so we can change." Ginny said getting up Hermione stood up to.

"Sure let me just get my robes." She said rummaging around in her trunk. Hermione found her robes and left with Ginny. When the two girls left Harry and Ron started to change as well.

"Has Malfoy always acted like that towards Hermione?" Rom asked a little puzzled. "Yea ever since he saw her walk out of the Prefect bathroom with only a towel on. Don't you remember?" Harry said.

"Oh yea! You weren't there I forgot it was during a holiday and you left to go home. It was I think um. Just after you two got together." Harry said

"Well tell me what happened" Ron said to Harry's surprise rather calmly and casually

"Well." Harry trailed off a little nervously

"Continue." Ron said looking at him casually

"Well during a vacation she went into the prefect bathroom it seems like took a bath then came out all wet." Harry trailed off again looking rather nervous about what he was telling Ron but continued anyway.

"All the guys in the hall just stoped and stared at her. She spotted Malfoy and walked towards him like she wanted to pass him. So as she was passing him she says 'Hi Draco' and her towel almost falls off." Harry finished and waited for Ron to explode

"So what was his reaction?" Ron says casually. Harry looked at him with great surprise but said.

"He looked like he was in love and watched her walk down the hall until she turned the corner. That's all." Harry said still waiting for Ron to explode. But he never did. Just then Ginny and Hermione stepped in all changed into their robes. Hermione leaned agents the side of the door and slid one arm up it and said:

"Did ya miss me?" Which she said sarcastically.

"Of cores" Ron said putting his arm around her waist and pulled her towards him. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him and they started frenching.

"Ok lets keep this compartment as clean as possible please." Harry said tapping Ron on the shoulder as they pulled away.

"Fine be like that Harry. Don't let me and Ron have any fun." Hermione said as if she was whining at him. As they all sat down again the train lurched into a stop. They all gathered their things and walked into the starting evening with a beautiful sunset.

"Ah Hogwarts how I missed being here!" Harry exclaimed as he stretched his legs and his arms. Remembering his life at the Dursley's house. Harry looked around to see the new first years when he saw a new girl that looked to old to be a first year, she looked like a seventh year but he couldn't be sure.

Hmm she looks like a seventh year but then I've never seen her before. She doesn't have a house crest so I don't know what house she belongs to. Harry thought staring at her in wonderment. He tugged at Ron's robe sleave and said:

"Do you know who she is?" Harry said pointing at the new girl. Her Hair was a little below her shoulder line and her hair was very blonde it was so blonde that it was almost white. She had a very pretty face. She was extraordinarily beautiful more beautiful than any girl he had ever seen he was fascinated by her in every way. But his gaze was broken when Ron said:

"I don't know she looks very new, and very nervous." Ron pointed out as Harry looked more closely at her he could see that she looked like she didn't belong there. She twirled her hair around her finger and kept biting her lip and looking around.

"Those boys over there look like they are just about to find out who she is." Ron said pointing to a bunch of boys approaching her.

"Looks like they want to know more than just her name." Harry said taking his stuff over to a pile where they would be taking it up to the dorms of each house. He then joined Hermione who was waiting for the carriages to take them up to Hogwarts. Harry couldn't help but think about that girl she was just so mesmerizing that she sort of stood out in the crowd.

"Where's Ron?" Hermione asked suddenly breaking his train of thought.

"Um. I saw him up there I think he might be talking to Ginny. I saw them together up there by the train." Harry said shaking his head slightly trying to concentrate on Hermione's question. As the carriages pulled up Ron and Ginny joined them still holding up their conversation.

"I told you not to and yet you did!! Why did you do that you know I would have said some thing! But nooo you had to say some thing before I could!" Ron yelled sounding very annoyed with Ginny.

"Ron you weren't gonna say any thing and I knew you wanted to cause at home you always say that you never said hi to her and I thought that I might help you along since she is one of my friends and I know her so I just thought-" Ginny said trying to sound sorry and convincing at the same time and it wasn't working very well.

"Forget it Ginny! Just forget it!" Ron snapped cutting her off in mid sentence.

"Gee Ron you don't have to get all mad." Ginny said with a little bit of surprise and a lot of being sorry. They all got into the carriages and the started their ride up to Hogwarts. The ride up to Hogwarts was quite because Ron and Ginny were mad at each other and refused to speak and Hermione and Harry had nothing to say to each other with out also including Ron and Ginny. As they arrived up at Hogwarts Harry and Hermione sighed with relief that they would be finally among the chatter of excided students arriving at school for another wonderful year.

They took their seats at their table with the rest of the Gryfindors. They were all sitting across from each other but still Ron and Ginny wouldn't look at each other. Professor Dumbuldoor stood up and began to make his beginning of the year anocments right after the new First years entered the room.

"Remember that the Forbidden Forest is still forbidden no one and I mean no one is to go into it for any reason what so ever!" He announced like he did every year and looked over at Harry and Ron who always manage to make their way into that forest and brake as much rules as possible even though they were really just saving the school from all sorts of dangers. After Professor Dumbledore sat down Professor McGonagall stood up and placed a stool down on a platform then put the old tattered sorting hat upon it.

"When I call your name please come up and sit upon the stool and I will place the sorting hat on your head then it will announce which house you will be joining." She said. As soon as she finished the hat came to life and began to sing its song about the four house that it seems to make a new one each year. When it finished Professor McGonagall came up again and unrolled a piece of parchment and began to read off the names and one by one the first years came up and were sorted into each house fairly.

"Brooke L. Potter!" She announced as she got into the Ps. Harry looked up to see a scared girl come up and sit upon the stool. Harry watched her fascination she had the same hair color and the same green eyes but she just couldn't be related to him.

She can't be related to me she doesn't look like me in the slightest. She has the same black hair and green eyes but lots of people have those feturs- but why does she feel different but I know that we aren't- we can't! Harry thought his eyes still on her watching hr every move.

"RAVENCLAW!!" the hat announced. Harry let out a sigh of relief knowing that she wasn't in his house.

"Harry are you ok?" Ginny whispered as Dumbledore said let the feast begin she had a worried look on her face as he snapped out of his trance and shook his head.

"What? No I'm fine it just startled me that's all." Harry whispered back giving her a small smile. She didn't believe him but started to eat. As the feats ended Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione lead the first years up to the common room.

"To your right are the boys dormitories and to the left are the girls there are signs on the doors indicating which room you have." Harry said as he pointed to each passageway that led to the dormitories. Ron and Hermione walked towards the middle and gave each other a kiss and separated but still holding each others hand till their fingertips touched them dropped their hands said goodnight and walked up to their dorms.

"Harry are you sure you're ok?" Ginny asked as he sat down in a chair by the fire.

"Yes I'm sure. it just startled me when she had the same last name." Harry said as Ginny sat in his lap and leaned agents his chest. Harry stroked her hair and kissed her head.

"It just worried me you should have seen the look on your face it was so weird and it scares me when you get so worried." Ginny said looking up at him.

"Yea I know. It was just that she looked similar to what my parents looked like. Well from what I've seen in the pictures. And there is no way that they could have had another child anyway they died before I turned one! And if they did that child would be either a seventh or sixth year not a first year." Harry said finally pulling his feelings out to her looking down at her in the eyes.

"Well we should be getting to bed its getting late and we have a full day ahead of us." Ginny said smiling and getting up. Harry got up right after her and kissed her and then they walked quickly up to their dorms. As Harry opened the door he saw Ron waiting for him on his bed.

"Well?" Ron said raising an eyebrow looking at him with suspicion.

"Nothing happened." Harry said sitting down and starting to change into his sweat pants. Of coarse Ron didn't believe him.

"You two never do just nothing Ron said looking at him still with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm serious Ron! Nothing happened we just talked for a while 'bout that girl Brooke Potter." Harry said trying to make him believe.

"Fine whatever you say." Ron said getting into his bed which was next to Harry's. Harry rolled his eyes knowing that Ron was impossible to work with when he got very stubborn

"Night Harry." Ron whispered turning off his light.

"Night Ron." Harry whispered turning off his own and climbing into bed and falling quickly asleep. Even in his dreams Harry couldn't stop thinking about that new girl Brooke. His mind kept going back to his vaig memories off his mother's and father's death he kept thinking that amongst the confusion he thought he hear one of his parents say something about another child and one of them should start to run with that other child and Harry. But suddenly all of the details started to swarm into his mind and he then knew that there was no other child. Also that he was just thinking to much about that Brooke person and that he should just sleep.
