HOME AT LAST
One month flew by quickly and Harry found himself standing at Platform 9 and three-quarters.
Familiar people and unfamiliar first years all crowded in the Hogwarts Express.
Harry felt right at home as he sat down in the seats of the train.
After a game of Exploding Snap and some food they were ready to eat at the feast.
"You know the sorting better not take long this year." Ron said as he ate his Bernies Beans. "Yuck...grass."
"Yeah I know I'm starved." Harry said.
"Honestly is that all you boys think about...food." Hermione said closing one of her books.
"No." Ron answered "We think about other stuff...but mostly food." Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Boys." She said.
"Girls." Ron said back in the same tone.
"Hey that reminded me of something." Harry said "Sirius sent me a letter before I came to your house saying the DADA teacher is a girl."
"A girl?" Ron said raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah he said he knew her and that she's good and also there's going to be 'surprises' in store for us." Harry said.
"Oh no." Hermione said "Not more surprises."
"Speaking of surprises" Ron said lowering his voice "Dad's been getting really worried because you-know-who hasn't been doing much."
"What do you think he doing or do you think he's still too weak." Hermione said in a worried tone.
"No he's not weak he's up to something." Harry said.
"How do you know has you scar been hurting you?" Ron asked.
"A little bit here and there but not much so that doesn't mean much."
"Still Harry watch yourself and if your scar hurts tell us this time ok?" Hermione said.
Harry nodded.
The rest of the train trip was a quite one until...
The door slammed open and in the entry way stood Malfoy and his mindless bodyguards Crabbe and Goyle.
"Get out." Was all Ron said.
Draco let out a cold evil laugh.
"Thanks, I think we will come in." He said.
"He said leave Draco." Hermione said.
"Shut up Mudblood no one told you to talk."
"Rather be a Mudblood than a Slytherin." Hermione said reaching for her wand.
"We can take a hint, come on boys." Malfoy said and they left.
"That...was.....easy." Harry said confused.
"Oh well at least they left." Ron said shrugging his shoulders.
When they finally reached Hogwarts it was poring rain.
Harry looked around to see where Hagrid was but he was no where in sight instead
Professor McGonagall was leading the first years into the boat.
Ron or Hermione didn't ask where Hagrid was because they knew he was out helping Dumbeldore with the rise of Voldemort.
They reached the oak doors of the giant castle just as it started to thunder and lighting.
They walked inside and they all when into the Great Hall.
Hermione, Harry, and Ron all found seats to watch the sorting.
The hat sand in yearly song and sorted all the kids.
"Zalot, John!" Was the last student to be called and he was sorted into Huffelpuff.
A man with a silver beard and half-moon spectacles stood up ready to address the entire school.
He stopped and looked at the Huffelpuff table.
Last year one of their number had died, killed by Lord Voldemort. His name was Cedric Diggory.
His eyes turned from the table and looked at the Gryffindor table. He locked eyes with Harry for only a moment, but Harry knew he had done it.
"Good evening." He began "And welcome to a new year of Hogwarts School, I hope this year will be much better than last."
He paused again and looked at the Huffelpuffs.
"I am not going to stand here and tell you not to worry. Things will get hard and we not as a school but as a family will overpower that trouble."
"Now enough of that, on a happier note we have a couple new and returning teachers." He glanced at the Professor McGonagall.
"First to take over our Care of Magical Creatures due to duties Rubeus Hagid has to do I like you to welcome back Professor Remus Lupin."
The Great Hall exploded with cheers from the Gryffindors, Huffelpuffs and Ravenclaws while the Slytherins remained scilent with dirty looks on their faces.
Professor Lupin just grinned as Dumbeldore went on.
"Also I am very sad to report Professor Trelawney has taken ill and won't be able to return this year or so she says so in her place will be...er...well..."
He nevously glanced at Professor McGonagall again and then to Professor Lupin who looked whiter than ever.
Suddenly the doors of the Great Hall bust open and a young women walked in.
She had a black cloak on with silver trimmings and a silver rose on the back she also had a black top on with tight black pants that flared out at the end.
She had black hair which was cut short. She had black eyes that sparkled in the light, and red lips like roses.
Her skin was rather pale and she looked about mid maybe early thirties.
"Sorry I'm late." She said as she walked up to the teachers table.
Professor McGonagall stared at her in disbelief while Professor Lupin looked like he was going to fall off his chair.
Dumbeldore just smiled.
"Quite alright... As I was saying I like you to meet you new Divination and Defense
Against Dark Arts Teacher...Professor Black."
The Great Hall was silent besides the whistles that came from Fred and George and some other boys.
Ron stared at her in disbelief as Hermione scowled.
"Really just bursting in here like that...goodness I mean it's been done before." She said crossing her arms.
"Aww come of it Herm." Ron said still staring at Professor Black.
"This should be an interesting year." Harry said sliding down
