Chapter 4
Hedwig was tapping on the window of the Hufflepuff dorms, and Hermione immediately opened it, and inside contained the note from her parents. Harry watched her read the note and her features slowly light up. Then she squealed yes and leapt on Harry, barrelling both of them over. "They said yes!" Hermione said, "you can stay with us!" Hermione was so excited that she kissed Harry on the lips. Harry's jaw dropped as Hermione started running around the common room, smiling at everyone. Harry picked himself up off the floor and immediately fell into a nearby armchair in a daze. Hermione eventually settled down and sat in the chair next to him smiling happily. Harry suddenly said "Hermione, will you be my girlfriend?" and this time it was Hermione's turn to fall over. "YES!' she said happily before rising and kissing Harry, then skipped off to her dorm and fell on the bed.
Harry got up, smiled crazily at everyone and walked up into the boy's dorm and fell on his bed. The summer holidays came up so fast, with Harry and Hermione both getting all outstanding's on their tests, with their other best friend Neville receiving exceeds expectations on most subjects, with two outstanding's. How Harry got an outstanding in professor Snape's class remains a mystery to this day.
Meanwhile, a certain Albus Dumbledore had found the one and only, Lord Voldemort, in spirt form. Harry rode in the back seat of the Granger's car, feeling extremely awkward, as Dan, Hermione's dad was staring at him closely. They soon arrived at the Grangers property, and Emma, Hermione's mum, started cooking some dinner, and much to her delight, Harry helped. And Harry knew how to cook, all those years cooking for his fat relatives, made him quite good at it.
Luckily, Emma was immediately accepting of Harry, and what he had been going through. And extremely lucky for Harry, Dan seemed to really like him. Maybe it was his great manners, or positive attitude, no one knows, but the Grangers quickly accepted him as their family. The summer holidays went by in a flash and in no time at all Hermione, Harry and Neville were sitting in their own compartment on the train. Suddenly, their compartment door opened, and a small girl with blond hair poked her head in. "excuse me, do you mind if I sit here, no one else will let me sit anywhere." "Of course you can" said Harry. "what's your name?" "I'm Luna Lovegood, and this is my first year." "Hi Luna" everyone says. Luna smiled and sat down.
As the journey wore on, Luna found herself wanting to be in Hufflepuff with her second year friends. Luna was looking forward to Hogwarts more now. The 4 friends got out of the train, where they had to split up with Luna as she had to take the boats with Hagrid to get to the castle. Harry, Hermione and Neville felt weird when they hopped aboard the horseless carriages. The main reason being: They were horseless carriages! Who wouldn't feel weird when riding in a horseless carriage.
When the three friends got to Hogwarts, they sat in the great hall and waited for Luna to get sorted, all three of them secretly hoping she would be sorted into Hufflepuff with them. When Luna's name was called, all three of them paid their uttermost attention to the sorting hat. No sooner then they looked the word HUFFLEPUFF! Rang out through the hall.
The three friends cheered and clapped wildly, as Luna came over and sat next to them, a wonderful smile on her face. Their evening was soon ruined however, as Amelia Bones and the Aurors burst into the hall. "Severus Snape! You are under arrest!" Snape however had been expecting this, and asked that as Dumbledore's last act as headmaster, he make him a portkey to go through the Hogwarts wards, and send him directly to the ex-headmaster's location.
Snape quickly activated it and found himself being whisked away towards Albus Dumbledore. Amelia Bones growled in frustration, then stormed out of the hall, obviously to plan on how to catch him. Minerva McGonagall however, had other ideas. "Tomorrow evening! There shall be a whole school duelling lesson on the Hogwarts grounds!" professor McGonagall's sonorous charmed voice rang across the hall. Thanks for reading!
