AN: OK, So I have FINALLY, fixed my computer, AND picked up my notebook back home at my parents. I am done with surgery and almost done with the rehabilitation, I've been in and out of the hospital this year… and I just got better from the pigflue … NOW I am writing again: D

It was September 1th, and Hermione, Harry and Ron were located with the Weasley clan, Lily and James. "Now you tree be careful this year" Mrs. Weasley said and look at them. "There is no harm this year Mrs. Weasley" Harry said; Mrs. Weasley look at him "but you tree have a habit of meddling with stuff that you shouldn't meddle with" She look at them again "we'll be nice this year, we promise" Hermione said, she drilled her look at Harry and Ron. And they mumbled in agreement. "Well, you better get your arses on the train, or it will leave without you" James told the kids.

Harry hugged his parents' good bye, whitch felt really weird, a good weird. Then he hugged Mrs. Weasley. And then set course to the train with Ron, Hermione and Ginny. They put away their luggage, and started looking for a compartment, "you know what? I'll see you guys at Hogwarts, I'm going to go and catch up with my friends" Ginny told Harry "Ok, have fun" Harry smiled and kissed her. "Hey, Harry, there is an empty compartment here" Ron shouted to Harry, which resulted with Hermione stepping on his foot. "I guess I'll be going that way then" Harry laughed at Ginny "Sounds like it" she smiled, he blinked one eye at her "guess I'll talk to you at Hogwarts then" he said and walk away "you better" She shouted after him. "Here then?" Harry asked "Yes" Ron nodded

After the hearing at the ministry, going back to Hogwarts felt just right!

At the hearing, two weeks prior, Harry had soon figured out what the ministry was after. Harry was the last of the three, after Hermione had gathered; she told Harry what they asked her. "They asked me why I wasn't in school last year, and when I told them I would be killed they just looked at me." She shrugged "Then they started asking me what I was doing, and who I was with" Harry looked at her "what did you say?" she took a deep breath "the truth, that I was with you and Ron, hunting down Voldemort" at that moment Ron came out and mouthed "Horcrux alert" before Harry went in. They wanted to know exactly what Harry had been doing... in details, but Harry told them, if the minister hadn't told them they weren't on a need to know basis, and that the fact was; they were here to decide if leaving Hogwarts to kill Voldemort, instead of being killed by Voldemort was a good enough reason to have a leap year and start his seventh year a year later. Yes, he had practiced this speech.
Ron on the other hand just said he was leaving to kill bad guys, but he was on the train along with Harry and Hermione.

They sat down, and the train started moving, 30 seconds later a girl came in "Can I sit here? I really don't want to move to much when the train is moving as well" Hermione looked at the girl "sure, take a seat" she sat down "thanks" Harry look at the girl, he had never seen her before, and she spoke a sort of weird English, he couldn't place here dialect... maybe she was an American... "Are you new at Hogwarts, I don't think I've seen you around..." she smiled sweetly and nodded "brand new" she put her suitcase in front of her and planted her feet on top of it. "Hey, new girl, where are you from... you speak sort of, well, weird English" Ran said "no offence" he added when he saw Hermiones look "none taken, I speak Norweglish, its English with a Norwegian accent" She smiled at him "Oh so you're from Norway?" Ron asked "Yes" she said obviously "So why are you here then?" Ron asked next "I'm on my way to Hogwarts" Mariel said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Not on the train, in England?" Here smile fainted for a second "Well... my mum got a job her, and she wanted a chance to start over after she and my dad split up... the modern family that we are" She smiled widely "So, I ended up here, on the train ... going towards Hogwarts" Harry and the others smiled unsurely. "what school did you attend the last 6 years?" Hermione asked her "Well, I spent the last three years at 'Saltving magical academy' in Norway, but my first four in France" she answered sweet and polite. She seemed to sweet to Harry, no one is that nice. "Oh, Beauxbatons?" Hermione followed up "That's the one", "hold on, do you know fleur then?" Ron asked "Fleur Delacour?" she asked sceptically, Hermione nodded "I know off her; it was hard not to, she needed a lot of attention that one"
Harry laughed, discreet, guess she wasn't so sweet after all. "She's my sister in-law" Ron said "Ough, I'm sorry, though luck" Harry wasn't even hiding it anymore; he was almost rolling on the floor with laughter. "Harry!" Hermione said and he went back to laughing discreet, "So, you're originally from Norway?" She nodded "born and raised" she said proudly. "The land of the fjords" Ron said, Hermione hit him playfully "I'm sorry he's just like that" she said the new girl... "Do you have a name?" Harry asked after he cooled down.

"Sorry, yes, Mariell" She said "Hi, I'm Harry and these are my friends Ron and Hermione" she smiled, again. "wait, Harry Potter?" she asked "well, yes." She breathe in and said "oh" Ron looked at her "oh? That's not the normal reaction" she just shrugged "It's nice to meet you and all that... I just never really had much time for heroes"

"Well, me neither" Harry said. She smiled "That's a first", "What are your problems with heroes anyway?" Ron asked, he sounded insulted for a reason Harry could not understand. "I don't judge a person for what they've done without knowing their intentions and reasons for doing what they've done. For all I know Harry could have killed Voldemort to become the next dark lord himself."

"the next dark lord?" Harry asked "are you saying there will be a new one?"

"Well, probably not today or tomorrow, but you know what they say 'the ones who forget history is forced to repeat it' but someone will get inspiration from it as well"

Harry was impressed, this girl was smart, not book smart, or in the league of Hermione, but street smart - she would get around, maybe she was a ravenclaw, probably not a hufflepuff. "Do you know what house you'll be in?" Harry asked "Yes, I was sorted at the school last week, I'm in slytherin" A "booo" came from Rons seat, "maybe you'll be the next dark lord then?" she shock her head "not likely, I don't have the patients, no, I just love a good revenge" she smile sheepishly.

Hermione and the... Mariell talked about high and low for the next hour. Harry thought about what Mariell said about a new dark lord, Harry just hoped it was after his time. He saw Draco Malfoy walk passed the door, then back-up and open the door. "Lilly?" 'Mariell looked up "Drake..." she said explanatory. Lilly? Harry though... wasn't it Mariell just a minute ago. Mariell jumped up and walked in to the hallway, with Malfoy following.

"lilly?" Hermione asked

Harry shock his head. Who was the new girl?
