Harry

As Harry stumbled down the stairs with Ron, his nose was immediately assaulted with pleasant smells—bacon, eggs and strawberry jam on toast. Hermione was already there, chatting animatedly to Ginny about goodness knows what. Just the sight of those two made Harry's mood increase a little bit. That, and the aroma of Mrs Weasley flipping pancakes on the stove.

Seating himself beside Ginny and Ron, Harry gave Ginny a quick peck on the cheek. Helping himself to a piece of buttered toast, he thought back to a few months ago. After the battle, of which Voldemort did not triumph, there had been so many things to tend to. People kept rushing up to him to offer their congratulations, and some people even asked for an autograph. Then, everyone pitched in to return the castle to as normal a state as possible. For a month afterwards, ceremonies and funerals were held to honour those who had died, and then Professor McGonagall decided that the school term would end early so everything could start afresh for the following September.

Tonks, Remus, Fred...

Mood dampening drastically, Harry shook himself out of his stupor when Ron started to shake his shoulder. "Harry, mate, is it just me or are there four school owls flying towards us?" he asked, pointing out the window. "I mean, Ginny's the only one still in school..." he trailed off as the tawny brown owls swooped in and dropped four thick letters onto the kitchen table. Breaking off their conversation, Hermione and Ginny too stared at the letters, apparently having come to the same conclusion.

After a few seconds of silence, Ron gingerly picked up the letter bearing his name, and cautiously opened it. After scanning the first piece of parchment, he stared in shock, mouth forming a perfect 'o' shape.

"Mum!" he shouted, not taking his eyes off the letter. "MUM! We're being invited to retake our seventh year!"

There were a few clangs and the sound of a plate breaking, followed by muttered cursing. Then, Mrs Weasley rushed in, frantically wiping her hands off on her apron.

"Is something wrong? I heard shouting, did something happen? Her eyes swept around the room, wand at the ready.

"Everything is fine, Mum. Relax. We just got some owls, we're going back to Hogwarts to redo our seventh year! How bloody weird is that?"

Mrs Weasley stood there, gobsmacked.

"Is this true?" she asked, addressing mainly Harry, Hermione and Ginny.

Harry spoke up. "Actually, erm, none of us apart from Ron has read the letter yet. We were just about to read them."

To prove his point, he picked up his letter and slid out the parchment. He quickly skimmed his eyes over the letter.

Dear Mr Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you are invited back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to retake your seventh year, due to your education gap from the previous year. You, along with all your peers will also be retaking the seventh year, if they wish.

Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

A list of the required necessities is included in this letter.

Also, we are taking some exchange students from America this year. We hope that you shall warmly welcome them to our school.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Headmistress

Harry shook his letter, and another piece of parchment fell out of the envelope. He held it up, and examined it. On it was the list that contained all the books that needed to be bought. It seemed relatively ordinary, or as ordinary as things could be after the war. Maybe this year he could just finally relax with his friends, and have a normal school year at his favourite place in the world...

Sighing with contentment, Harry looked up, and almost laughed out loud at the wistful expression on Hermione's face. Catching his eye, she smiled across the table, and without hesitation, Harry immediately smiled back.

Hogwarts! They were going back home!


Sorry Harry, but this year will certainly not be normal. Okay guys, I have some questions for the future of this book.

First, should the demigods be sorted? I mean, they are exchange students, not students to stay, and in The Goblet of Fire, none of the Durmstrang of Beauxbatons students needed to be sorted, so I don't think it's really nescessary. I mean, exchange students means that they won't stay forever, right?

Second, I don't really plan before writing, I just go with the flow. But, who should the enemy be? Tartarus? I don't know, I just don't think Kronos and Voldemort rising together could really happen.

Third, if the demigods aren't getting sorted, do they just do kinda whatever they want? Like, sometimes follow the Gryffindors and whatnot, so when they do training sessions in the Room of Requirement nobody gets too suspicious... at first. XD

And finally, any other characters you want to see? Calypso? Will, anyone?

Whoo! Thanks! Ask or comment anything at all in the reviews, I don't mind. If there is something wrong, please tell me a way I can improve it. :P

If any of my characters seem a bit off, or if my writing has errors, please inform me, and I will do my best to change it! I am meticulate about those kind of things, I really like everything perfect.

Some Trivia on Hogwarts:

What is another name for the Room of Requirement?

What is the Hogwarts school moto?

And the thinking question: Who do you think would find out about the demigods first, second and last out of Hermione, Luna and Ginny. Obviously, Hermione is pretty smart, but Ginny is perceptive but Luna has an easier time believing things, and Hermione would probably not believe there are such things as demigods. Luna just might accept it quicker.

My chapter title is really bad. Any suggestions? :D
