Harry and Professor McGonagall went to talk to the goblins to hear the will of his parent's and Sirius'. Fifteen minutes later they found out that Dumbledore was stealing money out of Harry's vault and 500 galleons were being given to the Weasley household every month. He also found out Sirius had given him half of his money which equals about 500,000 galleons. He also inherited Grimwauld Place and Kreacher. When they got back to his house, Harry decided that he would tell Kreacher to keep everyone out of Grimwauld Place except the people that live at the Potter house. They went outside and met the others. They got all the supplies they would need for the next year. They then headed home to continue their "training".
The next day Professor McGonagall announced she was talking them to the Ministry to re-take the O.W.L.S. They wanted to re-take. Luna opted to stay behind and explore because she hadn't taken her O.W.L.S. Yet. 5 hours later they were back home. Hermione and Blaise had both gotten O's on their DADA test, and Harry got O's on the tests he re-took as well.
They all went home to celebrate with Luna and other Weasley boys, minus Ron and Percy. Bill announced that he was planning on proposing to Fleur Delacour soon. Hermione looked slightly cross when she heard that. After they finished celebrating, Harry, Luna, Hermione and Blaise decided to go swimming. As Hermione and Luna went upstairs to change into their bathing suits, Luna looked at Hermione. "Hermione?" Luna asked. "Do you like Blaise?" Hermione was startled. She blushed. "Well, Luna actually I do but please don't say anything." Then she smirked. "Do you like Harry, Luna?" This was the first time she had ever seen the blonde girl blush. "uhh...yeah. I do." she said quietly. They looked at each other and smiled. Little did they know that the boys were having a similar conversation.
"Hey, Blaise." Harry called.
"yeah?" the Italian replied.
"If you hurt Hermione I will have no choice but to hurt you." Harry said. Blaise blushed. "How did you know I liked her?" He asked. Harry laughed. "Mate, it was kind of obvious. Even McGonagall picked up on it." Blaise smirked and said. "Then the same goes for Luna. Hurt her and I'll hurt you." Harry looked shocked. "W-What?" Blaise smirked again. "I'll repeat what you said. Mate, it was kind of obvious." They both laughed. The girls then came down and joined them. "What are you guys talking about?" said Hermione. The guys shared a look then blushed. "uh...nothing!" They said. All four friends spent a few hours in the pool splashing and playing around.
They got out and went back in the house. "Can you believe we go back to Hogwarts in a few days?" Blaise said. "No." said Hermione. "I'm not ready to deal with Dumbledore, Ron, and Ginny." Harry shook his head. "Me neither." A thought struck Blaise. "We have to try to unite the houses. You know that right?" he said. This time it was Luna who spoke up. "We should create a group dedicated to promoting house unity." Harry grinned. "Luna! Your brilliant!" The blonde Ravenclaw blushed. Hermione and Blaise shared a look. "What should we call it?" Hermione asked. "What about the Hogwarts Amity Club?" suggested Blaise. They all nodded. "It's better than nothing." said Harry. "It should be like the DA from last year though. But we could use it to promote unity." Hermione nodded. "It's perfect!" "Well now that that's settled." said Blaise. "I'm going to bed." "Me too." The other three chorused.
The next couple days flew by and before they knew it, it was time to go back to Hogwarts.
Charlie got the job of trying to wake up the four students. "You guys better get up or I'm going to let Fred and George test their products on you!" All four bolted up and out of bed. "We're up!" they chorused. The next couple hours were dedicated to finding everything they needed for Hogwarts, or in Blaise and Luna's case summoning stuff from their houses. They made it to the platform with minutes to spare. Professor McGonagall wished them a safe trip and told them she would see them at the feast. They all found a compartment together. Hermione opting not to go to the Prefect's compartment. As professor Lupin did in their third year, they found themselves once more sharing their compartment with a teacher, only this time they didn't know who he was. "He must be the new DADA teacher." whispered Blaise. They didn't want to wake him up. They sat in their compartment waiting for someone to come in and interrupt them. Hermione laughed. "I think this is the first year Malfoy hasn't come in and insulted us!" Harry grinned. "Don't worry 'Mione. The ride isn't over yet. I wonder where Ron and Ginny are though. They usually come and find us along with Neville."
"Longbottom?" Blaise asked. "Do you think he can be trusted?" Harry and Hermione thought about that. "I dunno." said Harry. "I guess we will find out. Along with Dean, Seamus, Lavender, Parvati and the rest of our year." Blaise nodded. "Well I guess we can all agree on one thing. This is going to be one hell of a year!" Hermione giggled. "Amen to that." They all looked at each other and started laughing. What they didn't know was a certain pair of redheads heard their whole conversation and weren't to happy about it.
