Hello to Hogwarts
Chapter 4: Say Hello to Hogwarts everyone!
"Ginny!" Hermione said frantically.
"Yes.." she said not really paying attention, she was too busy staring at the new boy.
"That's him!" Hermione said gripping her hair. She was trying not to panic.
"Who?" She said her attention was now turned to the new girl who sat down across from them.
"Harry! The boy from my dream!" she whispered into Ginny's ear.
"WHAT!?" Ginny said swinging around staring at her with her mouth hanging open.
"Your just joking right?" she said hopefully.
"No, I swear on my own magic that is him!" Hermione whispered trying not to scream.
They're thoughts were cut off by Sophie, "Hey everyone! This is Sarah Potter. She is new and she's cool so be nice."
Hermione tore her eyes from Harry who was sitting down at the Slytherin table and looked at Sarah. She was pretty. She had long auburn colored hair with a round sweet face and with wide blue eyes. She also noticed she looked quite tall.
"Hi." Sarah replied nervously. Hermione saw her glance up at the faculty table then over to the Slytherin table.
"Hey, I'm Ron. Ron Weasley." Ron said in his I-think-your-cute-let's-go- snog voice. He held out his hand. She blushed and shook it shyly.
"Oh stop it Ron!" said Ginny. She knew that tone.
"I'm Ginny. His sister, if you can't already tell." She smiled at her. Hermione noticed her relax a bit.
After Ginny went around introducing all of them she asked, "So what school did you used to go to? I mean you sound English to me."
"My brother and I were home schooled." Sarah said.
"Oh was that your brother?" Pavarti said pointing over toward the Slytherin table at Harry, smiling.
"Oh yes." Sarah said offhandedly looking over at her brother who was looking around the Great Hall not listening to a word Malfoy was saying.
"What's his name?" Ginny asked looking over at Hermione who gave her a death glare.
"Harry." Sarah looking more and more relaxed.
"So are you excited about coming to Hogwarts?" Ron asked grinning smoothly.
And that is when Hermione stopped listening.
* * * *
"So are you excited about coming to Hogwarts?"
Harry was snapped out of his daydreams and looked over at Draco.
"Sorry?"
"Are you excited about coming to Hogwarts?" Draco said again frowning a bit.
"I guess. Mostly nervous."
"I felt the same way." Said a pretty looking girl with long blonde hair. She smiled at him.
"I'm Bianca Lestrange." She held out her perfectly french manicured hand.
"Harry Potter." He said. She seemed nicer than Draco had been. 'Maybe because she was a girl and they were naturally more friendly' he thought.
"What year are you in?" She asked interestedly.
"Sixth." He said.
"Oh so am I!" said I girl with a perfectly round face and barely any eyes brows. She had short brown hair that came up to her chin and a very upturned nose. She wasn't hideous but definitely not Harry's type. She wore too much make-up especially round her eyes.
"I'm Pansy Parkinson by the way." She smiled looking him up and down making Harry extremely uncomfortable. ' Why was she looking at me like that?' Harry thought.
"Keep your fake self off of him Pansy or I will tell everyone what you did with Flint in 3rd year." Said Draco looking at her in disgust.
"Hmph!" She said and turned around to flirt with Morag.
"Stay as far away form that girl as you can. She is the biggest bitch at school." Draco said loud enough for Pansy to swing around looked hurt and squealing for him to shut up.
"The sad part is that she knows it." Said Bianca whispered in his ear. "Don't talk to her unless you want to be molested."
Harry looked at her horrified at the thought. Draco laughed. "Relax she won't touch you. I'll make sure of that." He said looking back at Pansy who held up her middle finger. Draco just raised his eyebrows at her.
"Stop it Draco!" Said Bianca. "You are giving Harry a horrible introduction!"
"Sorry," he said, "got a bit carried away."
Harry wasn't sure if he liked Hogwart's right now.

Lily sat at the Black's kitchen table. She and Miranda had been chatting, gossiping, and catching up on old times. Jessie and Samantha were playing with Samantha's dolls in the living room. She and Miranda were each sipping on some tea.
"So how far along are you?" asked Miranda breaking the silence.
"Almost two months. And you?" asked Lily looking at her best friends more noticeable pregnancy.
"Five months. The doctor said it is suppose to be a boy." Miranda said smiling down at her stomach.
" I still have to see a doctor about this one." Lily said patting her self lightly on the stomach.
"It is a relief I for James and I both that we don't have to have it alone at home again. Dumbledore had to send James instructions on what to do during labor. When Sarah was born he didn't have a clue what he was doing. But she came real quickly so he didn't have to panic for a long time. By time Jessie came about he at least had an idea what to do. How long did it take Samantha?"
"Long enough. Nineteen hours. The doctor says the second one is much faster though."
"Yes that is how it went for Sarah. She took two hours. And you remember quite well how long it took Harry out."
"Oh goodness! Twenty- three hours! I would not have been able to handle him Lils!"
Lily laughed. She looked over at Jessie and Samantha, who seemed to be making Snuffles and Pupas their dollhouses. She looked out the window. She was worried about Harry and Sarah. ' What if they don't like it at Hogwarts? What if something happens to them and I'm not there.' It did not ease her worries to know that Harry was in Slytherin. The Slytherin house was full of soon-to-be Death Eaters. She knew James was disappointed. He looked like he was going to tear the Sorting Hat to shreds when it put Harry in Slytherin. She sighed. She shouldn't be so worried. James was there, Sirius was there, and of course Albus was there. She continued to worry until she realized something.
"Miranda? What happened to Minerva? Why isn't she teaching Transfiguration any more?" She asked.
Miranda stared at her and put her tea down on the table. "You don't know?"
"No." Said Lily; she was beginning to get nervous. She didn't like Miranda's tone.
"Sorry, I thought Albus would have told you. She was..well..taken by Death Eaters last June. Into a Concentration Camp. I don't think that very many people know that she was muggle-born. You-Know-Who is trying to take all of the muggle-borns, squibs; muggles and either kill them or put them in concentration camps. All of the werewolves, veela, giants, merpeople, centaurs, vampires, and dementors are being forced to join the dark side or they too have to go to a camp. The world is a dangerous place right now. All of the wizards are trying their hardest to keep the muggle world and their own world safe. Protection charms had been placed over all large important muggles cities. You-Know-Who has already taken control of Ireland, and most of southern England. All the witches and wizards are fleeing to Scotland. Which is one of the safest places right now. He-Who- Must-Not-Be-Named has also taken Northern France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, that whole area basically, and all of Scandinavia. As far as the order is aware of he plans to attack the Middle East, Russia, and North America sometime soon. Everything is so completely messed up and corrupted right now Lils." She finished off looking depressed. Tears were filling her eyes.
"They took Hagrid you know? Hagrid! Hagrid would never hurt a bloody fly! They took him to another damn concentration camp!" Miranda sniffed tears were rolling freely down her cheeks. "Sorry it happened about two years ago but I still get all emotional." She wiped her tears on her sleeve. "Severus Snape was taken prisoner just weeks after you and James left. He was the one who tipped Albus off about Harry. You-Know-Who found out of course. No one was ever heard of him since."
Lily sat completely horrified and shocked in her chair, her tea forgotten. She wanted to be sick. 'How could so much bad have happened while they had gone?'
"Remus is a werewolf.." She thought out loud a sudden look of terror flashed in her face.
"Yes, and the only one left free in all of Great Britain. If he hadn't taken the job as the Care of Magical Creatures Professor, the he would most likely be in some camp.." Miranda trailed off.
Lily would not be having good dreams tonight.
* * * *
"The password is 'Tempus Vernum'." Draco said to Harry and Bianca. The trap door opened to reveal a large room covered in green and silver. It had high backed green velvet chairs and stone walls.
"This is the Slytherin common room. Were us Slytherin's do are homework and hang out." Draco said waiting for Harry to react.
"Oh." Harry said walking in and looking around. Draco frowned; he had been expecting a different response than just a simple 'Oh'.
Bianca just smiled. "I'll see you too tomorrow morning!" she said beaming at them. "G'night!"
"Good Night." They called after her retreating back.
"Those are the girl dorms." Draco pointed back over to the staircase that Bianca had just disappeared from. "These are our dorms to the right."
Harry followed him up the curved staircase. The continued up the stairs until the reached a door that said '6th Years.'
The dorm was rectangular and had three beds lined up on each side with a nightstand and a woredrobe accompanying each bed. To the left there was a door that could only be a bathroom.
After Harry had settled into bed he lied down thinking about what his first day of school would be like. He looked over at Draco's shut curtains. ' He was alright.' Harry thought. 'A bit self-absorbed but at least I have my back covered if anything happened. Bianca was really nice. Being in Slytherin wasn't so bad I guess' Harry thought before closing his curtains of the four poster bed and falling asleep.
* * * *
Sarah woke up to find herself being shaken awake.
"It's time to get up, Sarah, you slept right through the alarm." Sophie said.
"What time is it?" Sarah said suddenly finding herself wide-awake.
" Almost 7:30 we have about an hour before class starts."
Sarah sighed and pulled herself out of bed. They other three girls that she was sharing a dorm with were already up. There was Sophie, Imogen, and Olivia. Sarah was the tallest of all of them, standing at 5'8" and then it was Olivia, who was maybe 5'7", followed by Sophie who was around 5'4", Imogen was the smallest at around 5'2". Sophie was by far the prettiest. She had short golden brown hair and hazel eyes. Olivia was lanky and was covered in freckles and had wavy blonde hair. Imogen was pretty but was not as out going as Sophie. Imogen was the small and sweet girl- next-door type according to Sophie.
After getting a quick shower and letting Sophie do her make-up Sarah was ready for her first day at Hogwarts.
* * * *
"Say Hello to Hogwarts, James!" yelled Sirius swinging the door of James's new office open. James and Lily had gotten up early that morning due to Lily vomiting tantrum. She had begun her morning sickness part of her pregnancy. James had decided, since he was unable to fall back asleep, to come, and tidy up his new classroom and office.
"Hey Sirius." James said sipping on some coffee. "How's Remus? Is he able to teach?" asked James, the night before had been a full moon.
"He is alright, I think.. Shall we go check upon his well being, my dearest Prongs?" said Sirius smiling insanely.
'He hasn't changed a bit' James thought to him self as he sat down his coffee and laughed. He stood and followed his hyper friend out the door. ' Those poor children..' James thought of the kids that Sirius was going to teach today.
* * *
Remus Lupin sat exhaustedly in his office. He was rubbing his temples with his forefingers when his office door swung open violently.
"Say Hello to Hogwarts, Moony!" Screamed Sirius making a dramatic entrance. Remiss didn't even look up, he just winced at the sound.
"Oh shut up Padfoot! Can't you see that you are the most annoying thing on the face of the earth at 7 in the morning?" laughed James quietly. He was looking at Remus. He had changed a lot. His tawny colored hair was now streaked with gray and his young face was worn and tired looking.
"Prongs?" he croaked. He had not heard that voice in almost 15 years. He looked up. There he was. Prongs. The first friend he had ever had. He looked older and wiser. But still just has good-looking as he had when he was a teen.
"Hey Moony!" He smiled walking forward. "How are you?"
Remus just stared. James didn't wait for an answer. He walked right over to his friend had pulled him up to an embrace. James realized he had never hugged Remus before. Remus let out a slight sob before throwing his arms around James. Things had gotten quite lonely for Remus lately. With James gone, and Sirius married, and Peter...going mad. Remus buried his face in his friend's shoulder. Things are going to be all right now; James had always been the one who took care of everything. Things were going to be all right.
* * * *
Harry's first day had not turned out to be half-bad. His first class was Charms with the Ravenclaws, then he had Herbology. He had just finished with lunch when he decided to take a walk around the castle. Draco had Divination.
He was strolling aimlessly around castle for about twenty minutes when he entered what looked to be the library. Harry had never seen so many books in his life. He was wasn't paying any real attention to were he was going and when he turned to walk down the History section, he ran straight into a girl. Harry swayed but caught his balance but the girl started to fall. Harry having the quick reflexes of a Seeker reached down and caught her around the waist. Green eyes meet brown. 'She was beautiful' was all Harry could think. The girl had long brown curly hair that was tied back haphazardly, framing her face nicely. Her eyes were a doey brown with flecks of gold. She seemed to be a great deal shorter then him, maybe up to his chin at the highest. She looked up at him and blushed scarlet.
"Sorry." She murmured not moving from his arms.
Harry smiled nervously. "It's alright. I wasn't looking at were I was going. Are you all right? He asked looking concerned.
"I'm fine." She said. ' Oh Merlin! He is so handsome and he smells nice and he is a Slytherin.'
She straightened up and leaned down to retrieve the books she had dropped to find that he had beaten her to it. He held her rather large and heavy books under one arm. "Err.I'm Harry." He said holding out his free hand not knowing what else to do at the time.
"Hermione." She said shyly. She shook his hand. Her hands were soft. They felt like Mums did after she put lotion on.
"Were you going to check these out then, Hermione?" He said motioning the books in his hands. She nodded. She didn't want to say anything that might make her appear stupid.
He smiled at her before walking over to the check out desk. He heaved the huge books up onto the counter. Madam Pince checked out the books and looking Harry up and down then glancing over at Hermione who was standing behind him looking flushed. She noticed Hermiones eyes flicker to Harry. She frowned. 'Teen-ager's! Probably just finished snogging behind a bookshelf! Who would have thought the sweet Miss Granger and Potter's kid.'
Harry didn't like the way the wacky librarian kept glaring at them as if they had done something wrong. As soon as the books were ready he quickly to them and grabbed Hermiones hand and led her away from the lady. Hermione blushed even further when he grabbed her hand.
"So your in Griffindor?" Harry asked attempting to start conversation.
"Yes and I see that you are a Slytherin. What year?"
"Sixth." He replied.
"Me too." Hermione smiled.
"We have Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts together. On Thursday." He said grinning.
"Yes.yes we do." Hermione said quietly smiling back. She took a minute to admire his perfectly proportioned face before realized she was going to be late for Arithmancy.
"I'll see you on Thursday then." Harry said as she left.
"Bye!" she hurried out the door getting one last glance. As she sprinted down the hallways to her classroom. She threw her books upon the table making a loud noise. She settled back in her chair smiling not paying attention to what Professor Vector was saying. She kept thinking about Harry and seeing him on Thursday.
