Harry Potter

"Harry! Wake up!" my Aunt Petuna called from the hallway as she banged on my bedroom door.

I grabbed my glasses off of my bedside table and put them on. I honestly hate the stupid things and I'm even considering that muggle eye surgery so I wont ever have to deal with them again.

I got out of my bed and turned on the light. I walked over to the window and looked outside. I had sent a letter to Ron using Headwig and I expected her to be back before I had to leave for Hogwarts.

I walked over to my trunk and pulled out a clean t-shirt and jeans. I hadn't unpacked from last year at Hogwarts because if I did I would have no place to put all of my stuff besides the loose floorboard under my bed. It was either there, in my trunk, or on the floor of my room. I had decided against the last one because Aunt Petuna hadn't been in here to clean for years.

I tried to brush my hair to make it look somewhat nicer but it was no use.

I finished packing my suitcase and walked downstairs to get some breakfast.

"Morning," I mumbled as I sat down at the table.

Uncle Vernon was the only one who noticed, but all he did was look up from the paper he was reading to glare at me.

Sometimes I wish that my parents had never died. Sometimes I wish that it was Neville that Voldemort had picked instead of me. But since I can't change that I've just learned to live with it.

I ate my small piece of watermelon (Dudley was still on his diet) and walked back upstairs to eat the last of a cake Hermione had sent me last week. The cake Hermione made me was my favorite. I don't know what she did but it tasted amazing.

I picked up my suitcase and Headwig's cage and walked downstairs. I looked at the clock and sighed. Tonks was ten minutes late. If she didn't come soon then I would have to find another way to get to the Kings Cross station.

I heard the doorbell ring so I walked over to see who was there. It was Tonks so I opened the door to let her in.

"Hey Harry!" She said. "Sorry I'm late. We'll have to hurry if we don't want to miss the train. It leaves in five minutes.

"Well I'm all ready to go," I said. I was so excited to start a new year at Hogwarts and to see Ginny again.

"Don't you want to say bye to your aunt and uncle?" She asked.

"No, trust me they wouldn't notice if I left. Hell, they barely notice me when I'm standing right infront of them," I said and Tonks lauged.

"We're going to have to apparate there, so grab my arm," She said. The next thing I knew we were at the station and the train was about to leave.

"Bye Tonks!" I called as I ran towards the train.

"Bye Harry! Have a good year!" She called back.

As soon as I stepped onto the train it started moving. I started to look around for the compartment where Ginny was sitting.

It took me about ten minutes because Seamus stopped to talk to me about a Quiddich game he saw during the summer.

When I finally got to the compartment where Ginny was sitting I saw she was by herself, staring out the window.

I pushed open the door and said, "Hey Gin."

She didn't answer me so I sat down next to her. She turned around to face me.

"What's wrong?" I asked her, putting my arm around her shoulder.

"Nothing," She replied. I could tell she was lying, because with her something was always wrong.

"You look really nice today," I said. "Your shirt matches your eyes." Why the hell did I say that?

"No," She said. I could tell she was a little angry. ""I never look nice! You don't need to lie to me to make me feel better because it doesn't work! It only makes me feel worse."

"Ginny," I said sighing. "You are beautiful. I'm sorry that you can't see that."

She leaned her head on my shoulder and cried. I hated when she did this, I mean I should be able to comefort her but it was really akward.

What seemed like a few minutes later I looked out the window and saw that we were getting nearer to the Hogsmead station.

I took her hand and helped her up, then we walked to the carrages that take us up to Hogwarts.

It was an unusally nice night out. Whenever we came to Hogwarts it always seemed to be stormy.

When we arrived at the castle we sat next to Ron and Hermione at the Gryffindor table.

"Where were you two? We missed you on the train!" Hermione said. Ginny was about to say something but then Dumbledore stood up and the room got quiet.

Fifety first years walked in and I remembered when I was one of them. My first year was probably the best one so far. Except for the fact that I had to fight Voldemort. I had to fight him every year. He always came up with these stupid plans and I had to stop him. It was really annoying.

After the sorting Dumbledore stood up again and gave his usual begining of the year speach. I was so hungry that all I could think about was the food the house elves had made for us.

When the food finally appeared I took some roast beef and a baked potato. During the summer I always miss the food here, it's better then anything my aunt makes.

"Harry there was this really great Quiddich game this summer. You should've seen it--" Ron said.

"Yeah, I talked to Seamus about it on the train today. I wish I could've been there. Instead I was stuck at my aunt and uncles house as usual."

"You know Harry, you can come to my house sometime if you want," Hermione said. "You've never been there before."

"Yeah maybe," I said. I looked over at Ginny, she wasn't talking and was eating her Shepard's Pie like it was going to be taken away from her if she didn't eat it in the next five minutes.

I continued talking to Ron and Hermione untill all the food was gone and Dumbledore dismissed everyone to their dormetories.

When we got there Ginny hurried up to her room but I stopped her.

"Ginny, I hope you can try and forget all of this and have a great year," She turned around and smiled. Then she walked back towards me, kissed me goodnight, and continued upstairs.
