The Sixth Year Begins
The Great Hall of Hogwarts was filled to the brim with students as they were grabbing
their dinner. The Four separate tables were filled with laughter and noise. Prefect
Hermione Granger was supervising the few stragglers of Gryffindor students as they
entered the hall. Looking across the Hall her heart melted when she saw him. Harry
Potter, the boy who lived stood there helping first years to their proper tables, the
years has passed since they were in first year now both in their 6th year and prefects
they both have grown. Harry filled out his frame, instead of the wiry, scrawny boy
that was always unsure of himself was now a tall, muscular, young man, the years on the
Quidditich team and work out has changed Harry into a lean muscle man, Hermione noticed.
Of course there was always the endless fans of his, something's never change and that
was Harry was popular then ever now that he looked good and many girls bet that he felt
and tasted good too, but the biggest change of all was that the fact that Harry now had
an air of confidence around him but still the sense of naïve innocents that he projected
to people.
Harry feeling eyes on him looked towards the large portals to the Hall, there stood
Hermione Granger staring at him, giving her a big smile, his heart skipped a beat when
she looked away blushing. She was always there for him, giving him confidence whenever
he needed her. There was never a problem that she wouldn't help him on even when they
were fighting. After 6 years they have changed Hermione Granger all the time book worm
now cut a dashing figure, her hair mostly straight now, unless she was having a hectic
day, but the thing that Harry loved about Hermione was her eyes, she was the first person
that made him understand unconditional love, she changed his world giving him something
to live for. Giving him something he's been missing all throughout his childhood
unconditional love. It was a wonder how Hermione was still single, but then there was
Ron who would bully any boy away from trying to ask Hermione out. Turning to the
Gryffindor table he saw his best friend Ron with his bright red hair that always seem
to be on fire. Ron had definitely changed, being 6"8 meant that he was the largest of
the three dream team members and he was also the larges. Training for the Keeper
position had earned him a large frame and with his brother as beaters he had learnt
to take the bludgers hits. He was definitely what girls called buff. But the biggest
change was that the use of the "Weasley" charm as the school called it, using his easy
going manner and his good looks, Ron has been able to get to know nearly every girl in
the school including all the dark corners of the school too. A running joke among the
trio was the Ron had a different dark corner for every different girl his taken out.
Ron smiled as he was clamoured with first years as he directed them to the table, giving
an easy laugh he helped a few of the younger kids to the right seat. Even though, unlike
his friends, he wasn't a Prefect, he was always there to help them. Every Gryffindor
knew that Ron was the protector of Gryffindor, even though Hermione and Harry were the
leaders of them, Ron was always there to back them up. Well, what else was the Quidditch
Captain suppose to do? Looking up, he caught Harry and Hermione exchange looks and
blushes. Laughing to himself, he always wondered why they would never hook up, Harry
gave Hermione a venting tool and his full loyalty while Hermione gave him the love that
was always denied to him. The two always had people wanting them but they both had always
remained single for all time. Sighing, Ron thought about finally understanding that his
two best friends were in love with one another. After kicking himself for not seeing it
sooner, he decided to allow this drama to play out hoping that one day that both of them
would get the courage to step over the line of friendship. Somehow, he felt that this was
the lucky year. Turning to a laugh his heart warmed when Ron saw his sister also sporting
a bright red head she always had this nurturing feeling around her. That was why the
first years, always sat around her, being neglected during the first year Ginny had become
a sort of mother to first years while they were at Hogwarts. Ginny had blossomed to a
beautiful women, always having a smile on her face and self confident spirit that she
could always overcome things.
Ginny smiled and listened patiently at a first year girl as she explained her day in great
enthusiasm to her. After 5 years she had finally had her life in order, Professor
McGonalgalls had given her charge of the "cubs", a nickname that Gryffindors gave their
first years. Even the rest of the teachers like her, Professor Snape was harder to
convince, but after a few nights of helping collect a few items for potions in the
forbidden forest and cleaning the labs Professor Snape finally accept her. She was the
only Gryffindor that he didn't pick on. Everything has changed her brothers have all
left Hogwarts except for Ron and of course Harry whom she had a crush for the longest
period. Embarrassingly she now couldn't believe they boy whom she has learnt to accept
as the brother use to be her biggest desire. The only sad part was that since she was
related to the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain and Keeper and a sort of younger sister to
Harry, so boys always stayed away from her because of Ron's reputation of protecting
Hermione they rightly believed that if they strayed near Ginny he would tear of their
arms and beat them with it. Laughing to herself, Ginny felt that this was the year were
everything was just perfect she finally had her life on track.
Sneering from across the hall Draco Malfoy sat at the head of Slytherin table, now Prefect
of the Slytherin he felt the time for change was at hand. Six years has changed him,
growing up on the Slytherin team made him physically stronger now lean and muscular he
was as tall as Harry. His Platinum coloured hair was still slick back in imitation of
Professor Snape. On more then one occasion it was muttered that Harry and Draco identical
twins except one was evil and one was good. Draco laughed his arch-enemy Harry now
Prefect, same as him please. Draco knew who was better and now it was the year to prove
it. He was going to change everything this year, it was time to break the Gryffindor six
years winning streak of the House Cup.
"And so everything is set, this is the year of change, the year of growth," said
Dumbledore to Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape who sat on either side of him,
"This is the year that we watch as boys and girls turn into young men and women. The
board has been set, let the fates and games begin." And with a twinkle in his eye Head
Master Dumbledore sat up straight and announced that the sixth year was just started.
