Part One……..



It was a beautiful sunny September morning. September 1st, actually.

Harry awoke to the sounds of the chirping birds outside of him and Ron's window. He reached over and grabbed his old, round glasses that have, basically (Thanks to Hermione's Reparo spell…) lasted him his entire life. He quickly wiped them off with the corner of his pajama top and put them on. Hedwig gave him a hoot from her perch atop a small bookcase, as if to say "Good morning."

"Good morning, Hedwig…"

Harry has been living with the Weasley's for two years now. They had gotten an extra bed to put in Ron's room, even though it was already crammed without an extra person living in it. Harry wouldn't let himself live there for free….. he decided he would help pay for the groceries and help with Ginny's schoolwork as often as she needed. He didn't have to worry about her childhood crushes anymore, she was in her 6th year, and Harry in his 7th.

Harry glanced at the watch the Weasley family had given him for his last birthday.

"6:10?!?" Harry yelled so loud that Ron mumbled something and moved in his sleep. He crept over to Ron's bed, which, for the lack of space, was only three feet from his.

"Ron….." Harry whispered as he nudged Ron on the shoulder, "Ron, get up! Or were going to be late!"

Ron moved onto his back, barely missing his shabby rat, Scabbers, who was aleep on the side of Ron.

"But I couldn't possibly have another chocolate frog….really….my stomach's gonna burst!!!…."

Harry poked him in the ribs.

"OW!!!" Moaned Ron as he shot up in the bed. "Gosh, Harry! Enough with the violence! Save it for Quidditch!!" He told him as rubbed his eyes. "Now- Why in the world did you wake me up so early????" asked Ron.

"RON! HARRY! GET YOUR TRUNKS TOGETHER! IT'S ALMOST TIME TO GO!!!" A yell from downstairs answered his question.

Ron jumped out of bed and they both got dressed in their school robes. Maroon.

They packed their trunks full of their school books, parchment, quills and inks in which they had gotten in Diagon Alley the week before. Also, they brought all their dragonhide Quidditch gear and gloves. They had looked at the new racing broom, The Firebolt 360. It was not just a broom, but one especially designed for Quidditch. Harry and Ron had drooled over it for hours.

They tided up their hair, and grabbed their brooms. As they hurried out the door, Mrs. Weasley handed them both an egg and bacon sandwich. They ate in the car on the way to King's Cross Station. By the time they got to Platform 9 and ¾ , they were already 5 minutes late.

Soon, they were through the portal and looking for their best friend, Hermione Granger.

"Harry! Ron!" Came a familiar voice behind them.

It was Oliver Wood!

"Oliver!" Harry hadn't seen his old Captain for a while. He was now 20. They hugged.

Oliver looked at Ron. "Playing good Keeper, still, Ron? Hope you haven't lost your touch over the summer. Were gonna need it this year!" he told him chuckling.

"What do you mean 'We'?" Harry asked him questionably.

"Well, I'm not supposed to tell you yet, I'm supposed to announce it at the sorting banquet. But….."

He was killing Harry.

"Headmaster Dumbledore asked me If I would like to be Quidditch Director!"

"No way! For how long?" asked Ron.

"Well, it's only for this year, before I go pro with the Chudley Cannons. I get to teach first-years about the rules and second-years how to play. And I also get to help the Captain, and Seeker, with some pointers and strategies. That's you, Harry." He explained.

"This is great!" exclaimed Harry. "I can't wait for this season to begin!!!"

"Ron! Harry! Wood???" Hermione was confused, but wore a smile as she walked over to her friends.

She gave them all hugs.

"Hi Hermione." Said Harry, gleaming.

"Hey, I know that look, why's everyone so happy?" she asked.

"Oliver's staying this year as Quidditch Director! Isn't that awesome?" Ron told her energetically.

"Oh! Great! I think we'll win the Quidditch Cup again this year!" Hermione told them positively.

"I'm looking forward to seeing you guys at Hogwarts. Don't tell any of the other team members, O.K.? Don't wanna spoil it for 'em."

"O.K." They said, synchronized.

Oliver gave a salute, and turned to leave.

"I think we'd better go, we're already late!" Hermione said as she glanced at her watch, a horrified expression on her face. She didn't want this to ruin her Prefect days.

"O.K.," Said Harry and Ron as they rolled their trolley's over to the Hogwarts Express.

Once aboard, they found a compartment and sat down. They began talking about what they did over the summer, and what they want to do this year. They talked and laughed and ate wizard sweets while on their way to their last year at The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
