"Harry, Hermione, time to get up" Tonks said as she walked into their bedroom. She smiled when they saw them sleeping peacefully, they were really cute. "Come on, you don't want to be late for your lessons, I was told that the Colin and Dennis are going to be there early today" she said, giggling when both Harry and Hermione quickly got up and grabbed their clothes. She walked downstairs and saw Remus in the living room, she hoped he was ok, she thought she heard something from his room last night.
"Wotcha Remus, everything ok?" she asked, she dropped onto the couch next, grinning that his blushing about something.
"Hello Nymphadora, sorry if I woke you last night" he said without looking at her, she was confused, did she do something to get him mad at her.
"It's fine, I was checking on Harry and Hermione when I heard it" she said shrugging. Remus nodded mutely, he continued to look down at his lap.
"Well I better start on breakfast before the children get up" she said wondering why Remus' ears turned bright red.
"Erm, are you sure your ok, do you need some pepper up potion or something?" she asked, she wondered if it was close to the next full moon, she was never good with the lunar calendar.
"No it's fine, just thinking about something" he said, she was hurt that he didn't look at her all but shook it off.
"Ok but just so you know; you do that too much" she said grinning before she jumped up from the couch and skipped into the kitchen.
He looked up when he heard footsteps and smiled when he saw Harry and Hermione talking as they walked into the room.
"Morning" he greeted as they sat down next to him, he smiled when they greeted him and sat down.
"Hermione, if you have the same problem with Dean then tell me or Nymphadora straight as soon as we pick you up, ok?" he said, glad that she nodded.
His nose twitched slightly as he smelled the start of something burning "I better help Nymphadora, it smells like she is going to burn whatever she is cooking" he said as he stood up and walked into the kitchen.
Harry looked confused "I don't smell anything burning, do you Hermione?" he asked.
"No, that's interesting, he must have heightened senses or something" she said thoughtfully.
"Heightened senses, you mean like a dog?" he asked confused, they looked at each other for a moment until they both burst out laughing, images of a dog Remus passing their minds. In the kitchen, Remus leaned over Tonks' shoulder and turned the muggle cooker down.
"What did you do that for?" Tonks asked, he just smiled and walked to the other side of the kitchen, she shook her head, that man was very strange sometimes.
"I thought that you might like to show Hermione the library Remus, Emma said that she was better at reading and writing then the other children" she said remembering her chat with the teacher.
"That's great, I think I will, hopefully it will help her with her thirst for knowledge" he said smiling.
Tonks grinned "great, that's all this place needs, another you teased as she grabbed the plates. Remus chuckled as he watched her, she was always so happy. When it was time to go, Remus set the floo up and they arrived at the order headquarters.
"Ah, Remus, Nyphadora, I would like to come this way, we have some information from Arthur" Dumbledore said when he saw them.
"Your lessons start soon so I will see you during your break" Tonks said happily before she and Remus followed Dumbledore.
"Harry, Hermione" they heard, they looked back and saw that Dennis and Colin had just arrived.
"Hey Colin, Dennis" Hermione greeted, the young man who came with them smiled as he watched them. It was good to see them getting along so soon, he turned back to the fireplace and stepped into the flames before he disappeared.
"I cant wait until the lesson" said Hermione, Harry grinned, he guess he should get use to her enthusiasm.
"Not so hard Ginny" they heard someone say in the room behind them, they turned and saw two children looking at an old book. Harry hadn't seen them before, he walked into the room and smiled when they looked up.
"Hello, I'm Harry" he greeted as he walked up to them,the book they were reading looked like a spell book.
"Hi Harry, I'm Ron and this is my little sister Ginny" the boy said, the girl smiled before she looked back down at the book.
"What are you reading?" Harry asked, it said something about hexes on the page they were looking at.
"It's a book about defensive magic, a lot of good choices in it" Ginny said as she showed him the page they were looking at. On one page it mentioned a 'jelly leg jinx' and on the other was a 'batbogey hex'.
"Cool, so are you two Muggleborns too?" he asked wondering why he never saw Ron or Ginny yesterday.
"No, we are Purebloods, we are only here until our Dad comes back from talking to Dumbledore, are you one of the people who are having the lessons?" Ron asked.
"Yes, me and my friends are just waiting for it to start" Harry said gesturing to Hermione, Colin and Dennis who were talking outside the room.
"Ron, Ginny" said a man as he walked into the room, his eyes widened when he saw Harry but he quickly shook it off. "It is time for us to go" he said as he led his son and daughter to a fireplace. Harry watched as they disappeared before he went back out of the room.
"Harry where did you go, the lessons started a few minutes ago" Hermione said as she walked towards him.
"I was just in there talking to two someone" he said waving it off before they rushed into the room everyone else was in. Harry scowled when he saw Dean roll his eyes.
"Ok now that everyone is here I would like people to come up to the front and tell everyone about yourself and what you like, we will start with Colin Creevey" Emma said. Colin stood up from his seat and walked to the front nervously.
"I am Colin of course, my favourite thing to do is take pictures, I prefer pictures that people don't pose for, real pictures if life" Colin said shrugging slightly before he went back to his chair.
"Thank you Colin, Harry would you like to come up?" Emma asked, Harry sighed and stood up, he didn't know what to say.
"I enjoy being outside and I love quidditch, I think the best team is Pudlemore United" he said remembering the book Remus showed him about quidditch.
"Quidditch is a game that Witches and Wizards play where they ride on brooms" Emma explained when she saw everyone look confused.
"Hermione, would you like to be next?" she asked, everything in Hermione's expression said 'no' but she stood up anyway and walked to the front.
"I like books, ecpecially the ones with out pictures" she said shyly, Harry's eyes narrowed when he heard Dean snicker. "I, erm, like to learn new things" she said going quieter as Dean whispered something to the girl next to him and they both laughed. She quickly rushed back to her seat red faced as Harry glared at Dean.
During break, Harry and Hermione snuck out of the room "don't pay any attention to him Hermione he is just a stupid bully" Harry said as he hugged her.
"He is acting just like the students from my old school, I thought this was going to be different" she said sadly.
Harry was about to tell her that it was when they heard a voice "are you ok?", he looked to where the voice came from and saw the boy from before, Ron.
"I am fine, just a horrible boy" Hermione said trying to smile at the boy but he still looked concerned.
Dean walked past them and coughed "swat" before he went into another room, Hermione's eyes watered again as Harry hugged her.
"Man, what a prat, my sister has a working wand, I am sure she can hex him if you want" Ron said trying to help her.
"That would be great" Harry said, Hermione smiled through her tears and nodded.
"I will go get her" Ron said as he walked into a room and talked to someone, they heard a gasp before he came out with Ginny.
"Where is the git, I have a perfect hex to try on him" she said taking out her wand, glad that it use to belong to her Aunt so it let her do spells at her age.
"He just walked into that room" Hermione said as she gestured to the room, she wasn't sure that she should. Ginny grinned and peaked into the room and whispered something before they heard Dean scream. She quickly stepped out of the way while Dean ran out of the room covered in what appeared to be strange looking bats. Ginny, Ron and Harry laughed as they watched him bat them away until they were gone, Hermione still looked unsure. She didn't have any more time to think about it as they were called back to lessons.
"Thanks for the help" Harry said as he smiled at Ron and Ginny.
"No problem, served him right for being mean, we better go though, our Dad is probably going to be done soon" Ginny said as they all said goodbye. Harry smiled as he watched them leave, they seemed interesting, hopefully he will be able to see them again.
