Hello to Hogwarts
Chapter Three: "Dreams, Reunions, and Changes"
And there he was. Like he always was. Standing in the middle of vast ballroom floor. Just him. He wore a long emerald cloak, which made his stunningly green eyes show twice as bright behind his long dark bangs. He smiled at her like he always did, revealing white teeth, and held out his hand to her. She walked toward him and took his hand. They began to sway to soft music. Where the music came from she had no idea but hey, it's a dream just go along. He leaned down to her ear a whispered to her how beautiful she looked. She stared into his handsome face and smiled. They both leaned in and just as their lips brushed together she felt a strong force ripe him from her arms. Everything went black. She called out to him in terror. Suddenly she heard a scream of agony and blinding green light. The light was back. She turned and saw the dark haired boy lying in a pool of blood his once stunning green eyes were wide and glazed over. She screamed.
"HARRY!"
(end of dream sequence)
"HARRY!"
She felt herself being shook awake. She was waking up. Her eyes shot opened to see find herself staring into two large brown eyes.
"I'm guessing you had another dream?" Ginny replied looking shaken.
"Yes..it's getting more clear. I just can't remember his name" Hermione said quietly. She was shaking she could not get the image of her dream boy covered in blood out of her head.
"Can you remember what he looks like?" Ginny asked sounding curious.
"Yes, yes I can," Hermione said smiling. She had never remembered before.
"He was tallish with a dark tan. He looks like he might be exotic or Mediterranean. He has longish mid night black hair with the two most gorgeous eyes I've ever seen, perfectly green. His eyes stand out because of his dark features. And his smile," she sighed dreamily. She usually never fell for boys on looks alone, but he looked like some sort of Greek god. She couldn't help but to be human.
"Oh wow.." Ginny's eyes were round a her mouth was hanging open, "He sounds so sexy."
Hermione frowned. She wasn't sure she liked Ginny thinking HER dream boy was sexy. 'Oh would you just listen to yourself! Your beginning to sound like Pavarti, going on about your dream boy.' She thought to herself.
"Did you get to kiss him longer this time?" Ginny asked looking at her excitedly.
"No, but I did get to see him die longer." Hermione snapped. She shook at the memory.
Ginny frowned. "You know I've learned about things like this in Divination maybe if you asked Professor Trelawny-"
"Don't even try Gin. There is absolutely no way I'm going to ask that possessed psychopath to give me dream therapy." Hermione declared feeling disgusted at the thought.
"It was just a suggestion.." Ginny said quietly more to herself. "Maybe you can get some dreamless sleep potion from Madam Pomfrey when we go back to Hogwarts. I mean we go back tomorrow."
"Today, it's 3 o' clock." Hermione corrected her. ' That is a good idea, but then, I won't be able to see him anymore,' and she enjoyed seeing him. Even though she would see him lying dead in a pool of blood those first few moments in her dream, when they danced, she felt do happy. Life seemed so perfect and sweet she was at ease in his presence. 'But he is not real, Hermione! Oh Merlin, how typical, she has so far a chance for finding a guy in real life that her mind has to make up a fake one in her dreams, and even then he dies!" Hermione groaned.
Hermione had never been the prettiest girl in school. She was small and slim, with massive frizz that some people liked to call hair, and rather large front teeth. Well, she did have large teeth but her parents made her get braces in her fourth year so they were all right now. She had just gotten them off a couple weeks ago. After her braces were removed she had gone down to France for a week to visit her grandparents, who owned a summer home there near the beach. She had gotten a fair tan down which Ginny proudly noticed.
She had been dropped off at the Weasleys for the last week of summer. Hermione and Ginny had been best friends since her second year. They had met through their other good friend Neville, whose parents were friends with Ginny's parents. Neville had been her first friend at Hogwarts. She was a muggle-born so most people were afraid to talk to her in fear of being killed or something, which was a ludicrous idea because Hogwarts was the safest place in the wizarding world. Dumbledore had went through great lengths to make sure muggle-borns received the same fine education as everyone else. As Hermione had read in her textbooks, Barty Crouch, Britain's Minister of Magic, had threatened to forbid all muggle-borns from attending Hogwarts. He said it was dangerous and they couldn't risk all the rest of the purebloods to be in danger of You-Know-Who so that a quarter of the school could receive an education. Dumbledore; however, argued that if we do not accept muggle-borns to Hogwarts and we let them live there lives as a lie, then, You-Know-Who would just go on over and "Avada Kedavra" their completely defenseless brains out, the least we can do is teach them to defend themselves. Crouch could not argue with that but he had reminded him that them being at Hogwarts also endangered the rest of the student body. Dumbledore had simply stated that they were all in danger, whether they liked or not. Unless, you are seduced by the dark side, you are in danger. "What is life if you do not take a risk?" she directly quoted from Dumbledore. He was an amazing man in Hermione's opinion; a bit mad at times, but amazing.
"We should get back to bed. We have to wake up early." Ginny said back down in her bed. Hermione sighed and lied down. She eventually fell back to sleep.
* * *
Harry woke up to the sound of his mother's voice. "Harry, sweetie, it's time to get up." She whispered quietly shaking him. He woke up a looked wildly around for a moment forgetting were he was. He came back to his senses to see his mother gently shake Sarah, in the bed on the opposite side of the room. He stretched and trying silently getting out of the bed, he didn't want to wake Jessie. She had asked him to sleep in her bed with her because she was afraid of what she called an, 'utterly terrifying old castle place.' 'She was six and had a bigger vocabulary than her own father,' accord to his Mum.
And of course she woke. She was a light sleeper like Mum. "Were are you going?" she asked rubbing her eyes.
"I got to get ready. I'm suppose to be sorted after lunch and were supposed to meet all the teachers and all that other shit."
She held out her arms for him to pick her up and said, "Don't say that word. Its vulgar."
Harry laughed while picking her up, "Sorry forgot that you were a little baby for a moment."
"Am not!" She squealed loudly.
"Oh will you two please shut up!" Sarah groaned from her bed pulling the blankets above her head. She was defiantly not a morning person.
"Oh get up you bum!" Harry said as he yanked the covers from her bed and tossing them aside.
She groaned again.
* * *
Sirius black rushed around his house in a hurry. ' I must go see James!' he thought, jumping over his two dogs, Snuffles and Pupas. Miranda had read the letter after he had finished fainting all over it and was going just as insane. She too was excited to be getting to see her own best friend after 15 years. She was trying to force a very stubborn Samantha into a dress, while the little four-year-old insisted on going to Hogwarts in the nude. After Sirius had finished running around the house for no apparent reason other than pure hyper-excitedness and Miranda had got a screaming Samantha into the dress they were off to Hogwarts.
They hurried down the busy streets of Hogsmeade. Sirius was almost sprinting and was swinging his poor brief case around wildly knocking over several innocent people. By the time they reached the Hogwarts gate Sirius had seemed to calm down. He looked quite nervous in actuality. They were greeted by a very cheerful looking Dumbledore. He was thrilled about the new school year, as usual, and was even more thrilled about Lily and James returning home. So Dumbledore looking twice as thrilled as normal greeted them happily.
"I had a feeling you were going to stop by, Miranda." Dumbledore smiled.
Miranda smiled, "Are they alright then? And Harry and his sisters, how are they?" she asked excitedly.
"They are wonderful. James and Lily are relieved about coming back. They both missed you two terribly, you know. Harry and Sarah I think are a bit nervous about attending school. They have never met anyone their age before. Jessica is quite enjoyable. She is very outgoing. I sense another James within her and Sarah as well. Harry is more to himself then his sisters, though he is extremely likable. He is a very kind young gentlemen."
Sirius smiled, " Have James and Lily changed much? And what does Harry look like? And Sarah? And Jessica?"
"James and Lily look almost the same except a bit older I accept. Harry looks an awful lot like James but has Lily's eyes, and both Sarah and Jessica look like Lily. All three of them are just as attractive as their parents, even more so. Ah, here we are." His smile broadened as they turned the corner. They were staying in the chambers Sirius himself stayed in before he married Miranda.
Dumbledore knocked on the large door. Sirius shifted nervously. Miranda simply beamed. They heard footsteps. The door opened revealing,
"LILY!"
"MIRANDA!"
"AAHH!" they screamed and squealed in excitement that only a woman could pull off.
Dumbledore and Sirius and Samantha moved out the way fear of their lives.
"YOU'RE PREGNANT!"
"I KNOW!"
"ME TOO!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Suddenly a wide-eyed man appeared in the living room in pajamas and a night rode. His hair sticking wildly around in a way only possible by one man.
"PRONGS!" Sirius screamed throwing himself at him and lifting him into a bear hug.
"PADFOOT!" James laughed squeezing him back.
They continued squeezing the life out of each other until the four realized they had been making quite a scene and had attracted an audience.
Sirius looked over James's shoulder to see a girl, who looked about fourteen, in a night dress staring at them and a little girl looking out from behind her looking at them, maybe a couple years older than Samantha. Both girls had long reddish hair. Behind them he saw a young man wearing a khaki shorts to his knees and a long shirt. His hair was wet and it looked as thought he had just came out of the shower. 'Oh my god..Harry?'
Lily and Miranda, who was carrying Samantha, followed by Dumbledore who seemed to have a permanent smile attached to his face, his eyes were glittering as well.
Lily ran over and gave Sirius a quick hug. Before introducing her rather uncomfortable looking children.
"Sirius, Miranda, Samantha, This is Sarah, and this is Jessica, and this of course is Harry." Sirius smiled at them sensing their discomfort. " By god Lily, your girls are just as beautiful as you are, and Harry! My goodness, last time I saw you were just a baby."
They smiled and the girls blushed. Sarah and Jessie, as Sirius soon learned to call her, were just very outgoing once they relaxed. Harry on the other hand was quieter but seemed just as nice. All three of them, to Sirius, where: charming, polite, smart, and good people. Sirius was proud of James and Lily for raising their children so well all alone.
The eight of them headed down to the Great Hall when Sarah and James had finished getting ready. They ate lunch together. Dumbledore and James were currently chatting in low voices and Samantha was telling Jessie about the nursery. Lily, Miranda, and Sarah were all gossiping about the new school year and girlish things while Sirius had taken an interest in his godson.
He had smiled when they had first entered the Great Hall and Harry's jaw nearly came out of its sockets. His godson was currently asking him about Hogwarts and things he should know, since Sirius had attended and had been teaching at the school for about ten years now, he seemed like the ideal person to ask. He learned that Harry was very curious and adventurous, 'he gets it from James', and he had a love for Quidditch, 'again from James.' He, however, unlike his father, played Seeker the best. They continued their chat all the way to the Staff Conference Room, were Harry and Sarah were to be sorted.
* * * *
"So Hermione?" Ron Weasley asked on the way to Kings Cross Station. Hermione, Ron, and Ginny were all sitting in the back of Mr. Weasley's Ford Anglia. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were currently bickering about the traffic and how they should just use the invisibility booster and fly to Kings Cross and how that would be an absurd idea.
"What do you want, Ronald?" Hermione snapped. She and Ron had never got along.
"Did you have an interesting dream last night?" He smirked.
Hermione and Ginny exchanged horrified glances. "What in Merlin's name would put you under the impression, Ronald, that I had any dream at all last night?" she answered smoothly feeling proud of herself.
"Because, when I was walking past Ginny's room to get a glass of water last night and I heard Little Miss. Conservative yelling out some boy's name. The poor guy..I'm just glad it wasn't my name! Now that would have just been so wrong in so many ways-"
"Do you remember his name!?" Hermione asked urgently grabbing Ron's shoulders and shaking them. She was in a rather uncomfortable position, stretching over top of Ginny.
"Yea, I guess.WOULD YOU STOP SHAKING ME?!" he said yanking her arms off of him.
" Sorry, what was it? What was his name?" she asked desperately.
"Err.." he said rubbing his shoulders and giving her a look that said I- think-you-need-serious-mental-health. "Harry or something, maybe Terry, as in Terry Boot?"
Hermione eyes rounded "Harry."
* * * *
"Who would like to go first?" Dumbledore said motioning to the empty chair in front of the room. He held in his hands the sorting hat that would determine the next two years of his life.
"I'll go first!" Sarah said making her way to the chair sitting down anxiously.
Dumbledore gave her a wink before setting the old grungy looking hat a top her awaiting head.
It paused for a few seconds before, "GRIFFINDOR!" it shouted.
Harry smiled at her as she beamed with relief. He looked over at Mum and Dad who were both clapping along with the rest of the faculty. Dad was glowing with pride .
Harry paused. 'What if he didn't get in Griffindor? Would Dad be mad?'
"Harry?" Dumbledore asked politely motion at the stool. Harry sighed and walked over. He sat down with his heart pounding. Suddenly the hat slipped down over his eyes and everything went black.
' Hmmm' a small voice said inside his head, 'Difficult, very difficult, plenty of courage, yes, not a bad mind either, very chivalrous and loyal, but then there is a powerful determination within you and curiosity of rule breaking. But wear to put you? Hmm.'
'Umm..' Harry said in his mind, ' Were do you think I can be in the best? I'll just go there.'
'Well you're one to compromise aren't you?' the hat said.
'Hmm. you better be-"
* * * *
After having a rather long prefect meeting in the front of the train, being harassed by Ron was not on Hermione's fun list, she returned to the compartment with her friends only to be annoyed by them all about her dreams. Apparently, Ginny had told them all about everything! 'I swear to god that girl cannot keep a secret even if her own life depended on it!'
She had managed to escape from them when they arrived at Hogwarts. But only to run into her biggest and snootiest enemy, literally.
"Ugh! Granger you just completely ruined my new set of robes!"
"Oh shut up Malfoy! I don't have cooties you idiot."
"No, but you did breath your filthy, Griffindor, mudblood breath all over them, alas they are ruined." He said crossing his arms looking discussed.
She frowned. Hermione was far used to having Malfoy calling him a 'mudblood' but in front of so many people?
"Mister Malfoy? Miss Granger does there seem to be a problem?" it was Ms. Figg the new Deputy Headmistress.
"No Ms. Figg, not at all." Malfoy smiled falsely at her. Ms. Figg, however, seemed to take his smile as a charming one.
"Very good, I need you in my office Mister Malfoy, I have some business for you.. Miss Smith! I need a word." she called to a fourth year Griffindor. Sophie Smith was one of the most popular and prettiest girls in school. She hung around with Pavarti often. Hermione watched them walk off wondering what on earth Ms. Figg wanted from them.
Ginny found her in the Great Hall her face was full of obvious guilt. "I'm sorry I told Pavarti and Lavender! I made them swear not to tell!"
"It's alright Gin, relax. I don't care." She sighed brushing her curls out of her face.
She took out her Hogwarts, A History book and began to read through as Professor Flitwick came in with the first years.
"Oooooh look at the new Transfiguration professor!" squealed Pavarti.
"Where?" Lavender look around the staff table.
"Next to Professor Black!"
"Oh! He is cute! Oh goodness!" they both giggled. Hermione sighed and shook her head. She looked over at the staff table to see Professor Black laughing with a handsome man who looked in his mid-to late thirties.
"He looks old enough to be your father!" Hermione said shocked.
To Hermione's greater distress Ginny began giggling along with them. She shot another glance at him. He looked awfully familiar.
When sorting had finished the doors of the Great Hall opened to reveal Sophie Smith talking to a red haired girl Hermione had never seen before and after them came Malfoy who was talking smugly to a dark haired boy. Hermione did a double take. 'OH MY GOD!' her mind screamed. It was him. There he was. 'Oh My GOD!' He looked around the Great Hall looking impressed. He was just like he looked in her dreams, except he wore a Hogwarts uniform. She stared at him taking in his appearance in complete and total shock, mostly his robes. His very Slytherin robes.

' Hmmm' a small voice said inside his head, 'Difficult, very difficult, plenty of courage, yes, not a bad mind either, very chivalrous and loyal, but then there is a powerful determination within you and curiosity of rule breaking. But wear to put you? Hmm.'
'Umm..' Harry said in his mind, ' Were do you think I can be in the best? I'll just go there.'
'Well you're one to compromise aren't you?' the hat said.
'Hmm. you better be-"

After having a rather long prefect meeting in the front of the train, being harassed by Ron was not on Hermione's fun list, she returned to the compartment with her friends only to be annoyed by them all about her dreams. Apparently, Ginny had told them all about everything! 'I swear to god that girl cannot keep a secret even if her own life depended on it!'
She had managed to escape from them when they arrived at Hogwarts. But only to run into her biggest and snootiest enemy, literally.
"Ugh! Granger you just completely ruined my new set of robes!"
"Oh shut up Malfoy! I don't have cooties you idiot."
"No, but you did breath your filthy, Griffindor, mudblood breath all over them, alas they are ruined." He said crossing his arms looking discussed.
She frowned. Hermione was far used to having Malfoy calling him a 'mudblood' but in front of so many people?
"Mister Malfoy? Miss Granger does there seem to be a problem?" it was Ms. Figg the new Deputy Headmistress.
"No Ms. Figg, not at all." Malfoy smiled falsely at her. Ms. Figg, however, seemed to take his smile as a charming one.
"Very good, I need you in my office Mister Malfoy, I have some business for you.. Miss Smith! I need a word." she called to a fourth year Griffindor. Sophie Smith was one of the most popular and prettiest girls in school. She hung around with Pavarti often. Hermione watched them walk off wondering what on earth Ms. Figg wanted from them.
Ginny found her in the Great Hall her face was full of obvious guilt. "I'm sorry I told Pavarti and Lavender! I made them swear not to tell!"
"It's alright Gin, relax. I don't care." She sighed brushing her curls out of her face.
She took out her Hogwarts, A History book and began to read through as Professor Flitwick came in with the first years.
"Oooooh look at the new Transfiguration professor!" squealed Pavarti.
"Where?" Lavender look around the staff table.
"Next to Professor Black!"
"Oh! He is cute! Oh goodness!" they both giggled. Hermione sighed and shook her head. She looked over at the staff table to see Professor Black laughing with a handsome man who looked in his mid-to late thirties.
"He looks old enough to be your father!" Hermione said shocked.
To Hermione's greater distress Ginny began giggling along with them. She shot another glance at him. He looked awfully familiar.
When sorting had finished the doors of the Great Hall opened to reveal Sophie Smith talking to a red haired girl Hermione had never seen before and after them came Malfoy who was talking smugly to a dark haired boy. Hermione did a double take. 'OH MY GOD!' her mind screamed. It was him. There he was. 'Oh My GOD!' He looked around the Great Hall looking impressed. He was just like he looked in her dreams, except he wore a Hogwarts uniform. She stared at him taking in his appearance in complete and total shock, mostly his robes. His very Slytherin robes.
