They all arrived at Hogwarts with no problems. There was the annual sorting ceremony and then the great feast. After the feast all of the students went up to their common rooms.
"The password, which may only be told among Gryffindor's for first years, is legendary dragon. If you need to get into the common room, this painting will ask you for the password and you will say it." Professor McGonagall (head of Gryffindor house) told them all.
Most went up to their dormitories while a few stayed in the common room. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were some that stayed in the common room.
"It sounds like we all had a great summer." Harry told everyone
"It's a good thing your aunt and uncle let you go with Sirius most of the summer." Ron said.
"They most likely would not have let me if they knew he really was not a murderous killer" Harry replied and laughed.
"*Yawn* I think I will be going to bed now. It is getting pretty late. Harry, Hermione. Are you guys going?" Ron sleepily said.
"Not me I just want to sit here by the fire for a little while longer." Harry said.
"I will stay with Harry." Hermione drowsily said.
"Then good night you guys." Ron said as he started up the stairs to his dormitory.
When Ron was out of view Harry told Hermione, "You know you don't have to wait up for me. I can tell you are tired."
"That's ok Harry." Hermione replied. "Harry can I talk to you?"
"Sure Hermione." Harry said as he turned toward her.
"Well... Umm... How should I put this..." Hermione struggled.
"Just tell me. You can tell me anything. You know that." Harry said as he stood up and walked to where she was sitting. When he got over there he sat down and put his arm around her.
Hermione blushed furiously but did not let Harry see. "Umm... Never mind." Hermione said quickly. She got up and started for her dormitory. "Goodnight." She ran up the stairs as fast as she could.
"What the hell was that about?" Harry thought but quickly forgot. Within a few minutes he went up to his dormitory for bed.
The first week of classes went by without a hitch. But on the second week something horrible happened.
Harry was walking down the hall when something horrible happened. He had just left the library. "I wonder if this book will help me with my project." He thought. When all of a sudden his wand jumped put of his cloak. Harry went to pick it up when it started flying down the hall. "Damn it! Get back here!" He yelled as he started to race down the hall after it. It seemed to be heading down to the main hall towards the main entrance. Harry was starting to get tired when it stopped in its place. "I got you!" He yelled. "Stay the hell in..."
"Potter. Thanks for falling right in to my trap." Harry heard a voice say.
He recognized the voice. "Voldemort! I have not even been in school half a month and you are already coming after me!"
"Potter, Potter, Potter... How dumb can one wizard get?" Voldemort materialized in front of him. "Now thanks to my new materialization power I can appear anywhere anytime. First I will kill you then everyone in the school. Now you die." Voldemort lifted his wand out of his pocket as did Harry when they both heard footsteps. "We can finish later." Then Voldemort disappeared.
"Potter! Why are you roaming the halls right now? Why are you not at dinner?" It was Professor Snape.
"I was... Umm... I went to the common room to get this book and I was heading back to dinner." Harry lied.
"Well I don't have any evidence against that but there are no books allowed at dinner. Minus ten points for Gryffindor." Snape told him.
"Yes sir." Harry started to walk to the great hall.
Harry told his friends of the happenings in the hall. "He who must not be named! He was in the school! Harry you are in great danger!" Hermione said hysterically about to cry.
"Not to mention the whole school!" Ron said.
"I know. I am going strait to Dumbledore after dinner." Harry told them.
As most of the people had cleared out of the hall Harry and his friends walked up to the staff table. "Professor Dumbledore sir. May we please speak with you alone?"
"Quite fine with me. Let's go to my office." Dumbledore said. He got up and said good bye to all of the staff and started toward his office. As they got there Dumbledore asked, "So what was it that you needed to speak with me about?"
Harry and his friends told the story. "This is very serious indeed. I do believe there is a charm although that we can put on the school that will not allow materializations. I will get our charms teacher on this at once. But Harry, you must not walk alone at anytime in the school." Dumbledore's reply was that.
"Don't worry Professor. I will be with him every second except for when we have different classes at the same time." Hermione told Dumbledore.
"And I will be with him the rest since we have all the same classes together." Ron added. Then they left for the night.
Harry was trying to figure out why Hermione was so fast at saying she would spend as much time with him as possible. So he asked her when they were alone.
"Hermione. I was thinking about when we talked to Dumbledore. Why were you so anxious to always be with me?" Harry asked.
Hermione then said, "I just want you to be safe. By the way. When we were sitting by the fire I wanted to ask..."
"Hey guys. What's up?" Ron just got there.
"Hold on Ron, Hermione was gonna ask me something." Harry told him.
"Never mind. It is not important." Hermione said. Harry thought Hermione was acting strange.
"The password, which may only be told among Gryffindor's for first years, is legendary dragon. If you need to get into the common room, this painting will ask you for the password and you will say it." Professor McGonagall (head of Gryffindor house) told them all.
