Chapter 2: Hogwarts

** Sept 1st ** Harry **

The week passed by in a blur. And it was already time to leave for Hogwarts. Hermione has been nagging Harry to hurry up with his packing or they'd miss the train. Harry, after talking to M almost all night, was trying to make sure he didn't miss anything important. He was taking his computer despite the fact that Hogwarts had no internet connection and M wouldn't be online until Christmas. He wanted to be able to go back to their conversations and reread them when he missed M.

"If you don't come down right this instant, I'm leaving without you, Harry" yelled Hermione from the bottom of the stairs at Grimmauld Place 12.

"Merlin Hermione! Will you calm down? I'm coming!" said Harry, emerging from his room, his trunk floating behind him.

The rest of the trip to Platform 9 & 3/4 was relatively uneventful.

** Draco **

Draco had his house elf already pack his trunk to Hogwarts the previous day. So, he had nothing to do while we watched the clock ticked by, waiting for the time to leave for Hogwarts Express already. He was feeling restless for some reason. It may have to do with the fact that he already missed J but he still had a few hours before he needed to leave for Kings Cross. Getting bored, he decided to write something on his new found "Journal" app on his computer.

'Sept 1st.

I'm bored.

I have nothing to do to kill the time until its time to go to school. Should've packed my trunk by myself and not let the house elf do it for me. But she wouldn't let me do it. Misty thinks since she's paid to do the work, she's the one who should be do it. And I do not want to get Misty angry. She's a very scary house elf when she wants to be. After all I've known for forever. She practically raised me too.

Okay. I must be out of my mind to be explaining about my elf on my journal. But thats alright. I don't want to delete all that after I wrote it all. And nobody's gonna read my journal anyways.

Gotta leave now, I guess.

Time for school. Yippee! *Note the sarcasm*

Until next time!'

Unknown to him, instead of saving his journal like he always does, Draco sent it as an email to J.

**Great Hall. Hogwarts**

The Great Hall at Hogwarts alive once again with the students returning. The renovations were done so beautifully that no one could tell that the hall took the most severe part of the battle last year. And the students and teachers alike, were ready to forget the battle as well and not dwell unto the past. They were, in fact, looking forward to a perfectly normal new year with no complications at all. The welcoming feast was almost over when Headmistress McGonagall stood up to make an announcement.

"Everybody please follow your house prefects up to your common rooms. The 8th year students, please remain back. We have some special announcements for you."

That got everyone curious and confused but they all did as they were told. When all the students, except the 8th years, left, the hall became almost empty again. It seemed like a lot of people did not return to get their education. It was also hard to forget all of those they really did lose at the hands of the war. Realizing this, McGonagall summoned everyone near the staff table to the front two rows and vanished all other empty seats.

"As there are only 20 of you guys returning this year, we have decided to give you all a separate area at Hogwarts where yours dormitories will be. You will be located at the North Tower. Each dormitory can room two person. You can choose your roommate yourself.."

A loud chatter began as soon as everyone heard it.

McGonagall interrupted though, "Let me finish! You can share your quarter with your significant other under the condition that you both will maintain your grades and you cannot, I repeat CANNOT, get pregnant. All the couples please submit your names now to Professor Flitwick. The singles, your name to Professor Sprout. You cannot room with a person of different gender so your roommate will be randomly chosen by the Sorting Hat. The hat's decision is final. No arguments"

The 8th years scrambled to submit their names to the respective professors. Professor Flitwick announced the coupled roommates:

"Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas, Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood, and, Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson"

"Now onto the single ones, I'll let the Sorting Hat announce your names", said McGonagall.

"Justin Finch-Fletchley and Michael Corner, Hannah Abbott and Cho Chang, Theodore Nott and Gregory Goyle, Hermione Granger and Padma Patil, Ronald Weasley and Cormac McLaggen, and, Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter"

Hermione was glad the professors were pairing them up by same genders as Ron and Cormac both were trying to room with her as soon as they learned you could pick your own roommate. She couldn't hold her laughter in, when the Sorting Hat announced the two boys as roommates. Although, she was a little worried about Harry being paired up with Malfoy.

Harry and Draco were still trying to process what just happened. They didn't know how to act in front of each other. Did they go about being friends after saving each other's life in the war or did they go back to hating each other? That was when McGonagall asked them to go and stand next to their partners. No other pair was as awkward as those two seemed to be.

The Headmistress continued, "Your dormitories will constitute of 1 or 2 bedrooms, depending on who we are talking about. Also, you will all have one big common room to share, with one portrait entrance. Your dormitories entrances will be off from the common room. This way, you all will not have to deal with smaller year students bothering you. We think you have earned that much this year. Now if you will follow me to the North Tower"
