The Beginning of Fourth Year
Hey guys Nate here just wanted to say thank you for all the support you have given me so far. Also I will be making this a full story but on that note I will not be starting it how he is with the Dursleys or going to the world Quidditch cup. I will be starting it from the time they get on the train till the leave on it. As always i do not own Harry Potter that right belongs to J.K Rowling.
September 1st 1994
Harry boarded the train with Ron, Ginny, Fred, and George Weasley And Hermione Granger for their fourth year and it was a subdued group that made their way to a carriage so that they could sit and talk till they got to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Once they found one they put all of their trunks up on to the rack above their heads.
"So what do you think is going to be happening this year that has everybody all excited and acting like ickle firsties." said George.
" The fact that Charlie said that he would see us later in the year is very surprising based on the fact that he works in Romania." said Fred.
A little while after the train left Kings Cross Station, Neville Longbottom showed up with another student in tow. Said student was about 5'5" had almost platinum blond hair. Sapphire blue eyes, and a dreamy look on her face. What everybody noticed was that her wand was behind her left ear and the radish earrings. When they said hi Neville introduced her as Luna Lovegood. Daughter of the editor of the quibbler one Xenophilius Lovegood.
"So does anyone know what is going to happen at Hogwarts this year? I ask because I've been hearing things as I made my way here." asked Neville
Just as he finished asking that, the carriage door was opened and in walked Draco Malfoy, Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe, and Pansy Parkinson.
"What you mean to say that your father didn't tell you what is coming to Hogwarts? That's just pathetic. My Father told me all about it this year and if you don't already know then I'm not going to tell you. Also Potter you had better be careful this year it would be a shame if you were to be hurt for no reason. And you, Mudblood, you shouldn't even be here because you had to of stolen your magic from someone that was of better blood than you" said Malfoy.
" Piss off Malfoy. We don't need to listen to you belittling us and being disrespectful all the time just because you think you're better than everyone," taking a breath he continues, "though, I have a question. 'Who' was the one that got the highest scores in our year, for the last three years straight? Also, 'Who' was it that is stronger than you magically? Oh, 'Who' it was that gave you that black eye last year? Oh, that's right! It was, and IS, Hermione Granger. So just get out. You have no grounds to stand on, with bothering us every year. And just because I said that I didn't want to be your friend in first year, isn't because you are a Pureblood, it's because my mother was a muggleborn and you calling all muggleborns 'mudbloods', is extremely disrespectful to me," finished Harry.
"Why do you still want to try to make people feel bad? It doesn't help anyone at all and just make them feel like they will never belong to the world that they were introduced to as an eleven year old, you will never be the one that will force me out of this world. And do you know why that is? It is because I have actual friends not just lackeys or bodyguards like you do. Like i said last year your nothing but a foul evil loathsome little cockroach!" Said Hermione
"YOU FUCKING LITTLE BINT I AM THE HEIR TO THE MALFOY FAMILY. YOU CAN'T SPEAK TO ME THAT TILL MY FATHER HEARS ABOUT THIS YOU WILL BE KICKED OUT OF HOGWARTS FASTER THAN YOU CAN SAY EXPELLIARMUS!" A he said this he pulled his wand out and went to try to hex Hermione but was stopped by a voice gruffly saying Expelliarmus and his wand being launched out of his hand and into the hand of the most scarred individual any of them have seen.
Said person was About 6 ft tall had a walking stick matted dirty blond hair. His face looked like something out of a Wes Craven movie, his face looked like someone had taken it and put it in a blender and turned it on. He was missing an eye this was apparent because he had an electric blue eye in the spot where his right one was supposed to be, and it was spinning in all manner of directions just looking at it was enough to make some of the students dizzy and nauseous. This was none other than one alastair "mad-eye" Moody.
" So you think just because your father is on the Wizengamot that you can hex anyone you want just because your a Malfoy." said Moody. Then Moody turned to Hermione and asks "How about you let me deal with young lady I'll make sure that he learns not to do this again." he then turns to Malfoy and points his wand at him then mutters under his breath an incantation. They all stare as Malfoy begins to shrink and grow white fur the same color as his hair then uses his wand to cast the levitation spell on him. The student then all stare wide eyed as he moves the blonde ferret around the carriage. When he gets close to the door again Moody changes Malfoy back.
"That's what you get for trying to hex this young lady. Now run along back to your carriage and don't let me see you try to pull your wand on to another student or else you will have detention with me for a week straight." Said Moody
Malfoy and his goon squad left the carriage while saying that his father would hear about what he did to then turned to the rest of the students and asked if they were he got the positive he turned and said goodbye and left.
Harry turned to his friends and was stunned to see them with penceive looks on their then sat down back where he was before Malfoy came in and started to think about what could be going on at school this year but realized that if there was anything happening he might be caught up in the middle of it. He also realized that if he was in the center of it he would be ridiculed by everyone while also being ostracized by most of the school.
"Hey Ron do you think that whatever is going to happen at school this year will be safe or will it be like our past years and be fraught with danger? Also Hermione do you think that you can help me just in case I need it this year I know that I don't usually ask and that you help anyways but I still thought that I should ask?" Asked Harry
Hermione gets up and rushes over to him and gives him a hug with tears in her eyes. She then proceeds to smack him upside the back of the head. She then proceeds to sit in his lap and scold him for thinking like that.
" Honestly Harry you would think that with everything that we have been through you wouldn't even need to ask such a thing. And of course i would be by your side i have been since you saved me from the troll in first year. This year is going to be very different than the others because this year we do not have to worry about dementors, trolls, three headed dogs, dragons, werewolves, and basilisks."said Hermione
"Er not that I'm complaining and all but why are you sitting in my lap?"
" …" Hermione gets a pink tinge to her face as she realizes what she is doing and proceeds to jump up off his lap sputtering in embarrassment " w-w-well y-you s-see I l-l-ike y-you a lot and just got ahead of myself on reassuring you that it would help and while hugging you I lost myself in my caring."
With a shocked look Harry asks Hermione what she means about her liking him. She replies
" I have had a crush on you since first year after you saved me from the troll and at first I didn't think it was a crush then when the year ended I talked with my mum and she told me it was either a case of hero worship or a genuine crush. It didn't help that each year since first year I was either saved by you or helped you save an innocent man and Hippogriff."
" Hermione as you are one of my best friends I have always cherished you friendship and companionship but i have been struggling with my emotions about whether I should ask you out or if I should just stay friends. But you saying that you have a crush on me is the best thing you could've told me. So while still have my Gryffindor courage. Will you please be my girlfriend?"
