Chapter 1 - Big Changes

"My Lord, please forgive me. I know I don't deserve to live, but if you just give me." this man pleaded, but however was interrupted by another voice.

"Shut your filthy mouth, Karkaroff. You have failed me, numerous times, and turned your back to me. Like you said, you don' t deserve to live." with that said, a flash of green light was seen, and Karkaroff lay motionless on the cold stone floor.

~*~

It livened Harry up, after walking into platform 9 and ¾, and smelling the air of a magical world once again. as his best friend Ron, cried, "Back to Hogwarts once again. I really think that Dumbledore ought to fire Snape. He should be locked away in Azkaban for ever giving us 4 essays to write over the summer!"

For Harry, Hogwarts was another story. Of course he hated Snape, but he would still gladly head to school even with 2 or 3 more Snape's glaring at him everyday. It was such a pleasure to be away from Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon again! However, a voice interrupted Harry's thought, yelling "Harry! Ron!"

It was Hermione, and by the time Harry had snapped out of his daze. Hermione had already wrapped her arms tightly around his neck giving him a huge hug. Ron following suite.

Ron and Harry were both quite in awe. Hermione had definitely changed over the last two months. Her bushy brown hair had magically turned into a bouquet of beautifully wavy hair, and somehow, she looked much sleeker.

As Hermione loosened herself from Ron, she was also amazed at how the boys had such a drastic change. Ron was much taller, but was still a couple inches under Harry. His red hair no longer clashed with his face, but made him look rather attractive. Harry on the other hand, looked much more built than she recognized. His green eyes somehow stood out more on his handsome face.

The three of them just stood there, each staring at each other, until they heard the scarlet red train pull into the station. Harry and Ron took their luggage onto the train, then came back to help an exhausted Hermione, who was attempting to push her trunk. They found an empty cargo near the back of the train, sat down, and got comfy.

"I hate to bring this up, but have either of you heard of how . you-know- who is back?" asked an uneasy Hermione, "and. about Karkaroff?"

"I know. my dad told me about it. pretty freaky eh? Can't believe he's actually back. Now, Durmstrang's like under this spell, and no one can find the school, not that they could before. but the kids who go there aren't going to be able to go back." Whispered Ron, as if he were any louder, he'd lose his head.

"What did you say? Voldemort's back!?" cried a much surprised Harry, "How come I seem to always be the last one to know?"

"Try not to worry much, I doubt that he'll come for you at Hogwarts with Dumbledore there. We all know that's probably the only wizard that Voldemort would think twice about attacking." Comforted Hermione, even though she wasn't too confident in what she was saying.

"If you ever do unfortunately die, can I have your broomstick and your invisibility cloak?" asked Ron, gobbling down a chocolate frog.

"Ron!" yelled Hermione and Harry in unison.

Ron laughed and said, "I was just joking man! I'm not THAT desperate. hahaha"

The trio laughed and joked as they prepared themselves for a very unexpected sixth year at Hogwarts.

~*~

"Welcome to the first years, and welcome back to everyone else. I hope that you all had a great summer, and are well prepared for yet another year of magic. However, I must introduce some new people who have transferred into Hogwarts from Durmstrang. I trust that you have all heard about the incident at Durmstrang, and if not, briefly, Voldemort had attacked Professor Karkaroff, and had placed a spell upon the school, not allowing anyone to locate it.", ever since Dumbledore had mentioned the word Voldemort, there were whispers and gasps going on everywhere, though the professor carried on with his words, "We all know that no one can apparate to the Hogwarts ground, so we are quite safe from the idea of Voldemort apparating into Hogwarts. However, it is better to be safe than sorry, so we have prepared a portkey for everyone" at this, he snapped his fingers and on everyone's neck, was a necklace, with a spherical glass ball, about the size of a gumball. Inside the sphere, there was a berry looking object. "That is the portkey now hanging over your neck. The glass container is charmed to disappear when it needs to be used. And when the portkey is used, people will be transported to different places. You will be instructed what to do after so. Now, we also have a few new students transferring from Durmstrang into Hogwarts.

"This is Richard Golium, Holly Warnold, and Patty Targosy in 4th year. Jane Severman, and Janice Hartment in 5th year. Rosy Hannigan from 6th year, and Carol Relina from 7th year. They are going to be sorted after the first years, and I hope that all the houses will accept their new members well, and let the sorting begin."

So after the first years did their sorting, which seemed like ages. The Durmstrang bunch stepped up one after another to the hat, "Richard Golium.... Ravenclaw; Rosy Hannigan.... Gryffindor; Janice Hartment.. Ravenclaw; Jane Severman.. Slytherin.."

Everyone welcomed their new members well, especially the Gryffindor table. Hermione had made room beside her for the new kid, and Rosy sat right down, and Hermione introduced herself. Rosy was a fair looking girl with light brown hair that runs straight down her back. With a pair of hazel eyes, she gave a friendly vibe. Rosy and Hermione got into great conversations about how house elves should have more say. No one brought up the topic of the portkeys, they had all tried to refrain from talking of such, for they feared for if it were ever to occur.

"Hey, Harry, check out that girl Rosy. She looks like a bossy witch doesn't she?" said Ron, as he leaned close to Harry's ear.

"Actually, I find her quite a nice person, and pretty also. She looks like a person who would make a great friend." Said a disagreeing Harry as he gulped down a big piece of coconut pie, and reached for one of the scrumptious chickens.

"Woah!!! I think you're sick Harry! Put down that chicken!!" yelled an unbelieving Ron, and simultaneously whacked Harry's hand, causing the chicken to fly through the air, and plopped onto Rosy's soft brown hair.

Rosy looked up in a fake smile, the sort of smile that invisibly hid a deadly weapon. She stared at Ron and Harry who are currently chatting away in a conversation about how mature purple frogs can be used as a kind of transportation. Although they were putting on quite an act, they peeked at Rosy to see her reactions from the corners of their eyes. For a second, Ron thought he saw Rosy's eyes light up, but resumed its normality right after. Miraculously, Rosey's glaring eyes turned away. She cleaned the chicken off her head, and was escorted to the girls' bathroom by Hermione. When they returned, Harry could see the same dangerous smile hanging on Hermione's face as to Rosy's.

~*~

As the Gryffindor students slowly filed out of the great hall and started up the stairs, one unsuspected, but highly entertaining thing happened. Ron and Harry were walking up the stairs, and talking about how they both think that Rosy and Hermione is up to something, People were chatting and there were some quiet giggles coming from behind them, but as often as that can happen, neither took notice. However, it was harder to concentrate on their conversation later, when the people behind them were howling in laughter. Ron was getting awfully annoyed, and he decided to turn around and question the humour. When he turned around, Harry gave a surprised gasp, and began laughing too. Harry laughed so hard, he almost lost his balance and trampled on Neville. Tears were being jerked out of his tightly shut eyes, for Harry was helplessly speechless, and holding onto his stomach like it was killing him. As the laughter carried on, more joined it. Ron's face had began to fume like the colour of his hair, he hated not knowing what the people were laughing at. Especially when he was the victim. "Would somebody PLEASE tell me what's so funny?!" demanded a much annoyed Ron.

Though everyone was laughing so hard, that they couldn't bring themselves to speech. In the end, it was Harry who slowly and with trouble formed an explanation, "Ron... *laugh* .. you... well.. *laugh* it's best.. you take a look.. *laugh* yourself.. *laugh*. behind yourself..*howling with laughter*..."

At these words, Ron whirled his head right around, and screamed a high pitch scream that was carried all the way to Rosy and Hermione, who were at the bottom of the stairs, pounding their fists with laughter on the floor.
