Chapter three- Hogwarts

Tobias flew through the window just as Harry and Ron were getting their bags and trunks.

Just in time. Tobias said, panting.

"Yes, we're almost ready to leave," Harry said.

Tobias flew downstairs to Hermione.

Within an hour, everyone was in the cars from the Ministry of Magic.

"Are you excited?" Hermione asked Tobias.

Not Really.

"I wonder who the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher is," Ron said.

"Who knows, who cares? As long as it isn't Snape..." Harry was interrupted by Tobias.

Tell me more about Hogwash.

"You mean Hogwarts?" Hermione asked.

Yeah.

"Why don't you read 'Hogwarts a History'?" Hermione asked as they pulled up in front of King Cross station.

Harry couldn't wait until they got back to Hogwarts.

After a while they finally got everything on the train, after they chased Tobias's cage because he freaked out when Hermione jogged into the wall.

Next time tell me when something like that is going to happen! Tobias yelled.

"Fine, sorry about that," Hermione said.

They all ordered lots of junk food and they sat there eating.

Hermione let Tobias out of his cage and let him out the window, so he could fly behind the train.

"Hermione's in love!" Ron teased.

"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked, grumpily.

"You fancy Tobias," Ron answered.

"Quit saying that, or I'll never sit with you again," Hermione said.

"Alright, sorry Hermione," Harry said.

"Alright," Ron said as grumpy as Hermione had sounded before.

Suddenly, the compartment door swung open. They came face to face with Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle.

Malfoy, go away! Tobias called.

"Who said that?!" Malfoy asked.

"Who said what?"

Now, Malfoy!

"There it is again!"

"I still don't hear anything," Harry said truthfully, trying not to laugh.

"Never mind," Malfoy said before going away.

"What was that all about?" Harry wondered.

"Who now's? Maybe Malfoy is the one who's delusional," Ron suggested.

I spoke to him. Tobias said.

"But I didn't hear anything," Harry said.

I spoke to him in private.

"You can do that?" Hermione asked.

Yes, I can.

"Awesome! So you can tell me if you fancy Hermione with out her knowing about it?" Ron asked.

Yes.

"Ron!" Hermione and Tobias responded at the same time.

"Ron, you said you were going to stop, remember?" Harry asked.

"Yes, I'll stop now, though," Ron broke of as he looked pleadingly at Tobias.

No, Ron, I won't. Tobias said to everyone.

Ron sighed.

I'll tell you later, though. Tobias said in private.

"Alright," Ron whispered.

"What?" Harry asked.

"Tell you later," Ron answered.

"Okay," Harry replied.

After a while- a very long while- they finally reached Hogwarts.

They got of the train.

"Firs' years! Firs' years over here!" Hagrid yelled across the crowd.

Hagrid waved to Harry, Ron and Hermione.

Where are they going? Tobias asked.

"They're going on a boat ride. It's marvelous, but only the first years can go," Hermione answered.

Then I think I'm gonna join them. Tobias said as he flew off.

"I think he's enjoying this."

Hermione nodded in agreement.

They walked into the Great Hall.

Something felt different about Hogwarts, but Harry wasn't sure what.

After the sorting, the feast began.

The room fell silent as the Headless Horseman walked into the Great Hall slowly, his horse fallowing him.

"Who's that?" Ron whispered to Harry and Hermione.

"The Defense Against Dark Arts teacher," Hermione suggested.

"A headless man?" Harry suggested.

"Sorry I'm late, Albus," the horseman said. "I was trying to find my way here."

"No problem!" Dumbledore said, standing up. "Students, this is your new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher."

The Great Hall was silent.

"How'd he talk? He has no head!" Ron asked.

The Headless horsemen sat down next to Snape, who didn't look to happy about it.

"How are you all? I'm Professor Horsemen," the headless man said.

The Great Hall was silent again. After a while the kids started eating.

When the feast was over, the Perfects lead their houses to the common rooms.

"We'll see you tomorrow," Harry said to Hermione as he, Ron, and Tobias went dormitory.

Hermione waved as she went up to the girl's dormitory.

"So what did Tobias say?" Harry asked.

"He said that he'll tell me if he likes Hermione," Ron answered.

"Ron, I really don't know why you want to know."

"I don't know either."

"Just think of our Defense Against Dark Arts classes coming up," Harry said, changing the subject.

Ron chose not to.

Harry woke up to someone snoring. He pushed aside the bed curtain and looked around.

The snoring seemed to come from the bed beside him.

Harry tried to remember who's bed it was. He knew that Ron's bed was on the other side, but he couldn't remember who was in the one with the snoring.

Just then Harry remembered who it was, it was Dean.

"Now I'll never get back to sleep," Harry groaned quietly.

Harry got up and went down to the common room. He brought his potions book with him.

Just then the portrait door opened. Snape and a boy came through.

"Snape?" Harry exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, Mr Potter, it is I, Snape. This is Cole Sear. He is now in Gryffindor and he is a 5th year."

"Nice to meet you, my name's Harry Potter."

Cole looked at Harry and smiled.

"Nice to meet you too," Cole said.

"Well, Mr Potter can show you around, can't you?" Snape said.

"Yes, Professor Snape," Harry answered.

Snape left the room.

"It's kind of late, but let's go find you a bed to sleep in."

Cole fallowed Harry into the boy's dormitory.

There was an extra empty bed, that hadn't been there before.

"You can sleep there," Harry said, pointing to the extra.

Cole nodded and started rooting in a trunk that had appeared with the bed.

Harry went back down to the common room and started reading his potions book.

It was quiet, which was unusual.

Just then Cole came down, looking a little frightened.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked.

"There's a man messing the trunks up," Cole answered.

Harry got up and went to look in the dormitory.

"Peeves, what are you doing?" Harry whispered.

"Nothing, nothing," Peeves said as he disappeared.

Cole looked relieved. 'Probably because Peeves is gone,' Harry thought.

"That was Peeves the poltergeist, he's always trouble," Harry explained.

Cole nodded, then went to bed.

Harry went back to the common room and began to read again.

Harry was still reading when Ron came down.

"Is it just me, or is there and extra bed?" Ron asked Harry.

"It's just you," Harry replied.

"Oh, alright," Ron said as he went back up.

Harry fallowed him and saw that he went back to bed.
