Chapter Three
Home Sweet Home
Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Harry spent the rest of the summer at the Leaky Cauldron. Harry spent his birthday money all on candy, wizard cards, tricks, and two more pairs of glasses that were gold and silver, which matched his robes. They talked all about the year ahead and Professor McGonagall even showed him some extra transfiguring for the coming year. Dumbledore told him more about his parents and what they were like at his age. He soon found out that his father was popular and his mother was not but they met one day when James was practicing and hit her in the head when he wasn't watching where his broom was going. James felt sorry for her and visited her everyday in the hospital wing and soon enough had fallen for her. She had charm, class, and brains.
"Wow I never knew they met like that," said Harry.
"Yes after that your parents were inseparable," said Dumbledore.
"Tomorrow morning we will take you to the station and then we will see you at school," said Dumbledore.
"Okay I am going to bed right now," said Harry. "Goodnight Professors"
The next morning just as planned Harry met Ron and Hermione at Platform 9 and 3/4. They looked very pleased to see him, Hermione in her new burgundy robe, and Ron with his fire red hair and blue robe. When Harry realized he wasn't dressed yet.
"How come you guys are dressed already?" said Harry.
"Well I just decided to and told Ron on the phone last night its always so crowded on the train this way we have more time to talk," said Hermione.
The three of them boarded the train and it seemed more crowded than last year. Harry treated the two of them to everything on the trolley once again this year. Harry talked about his summer and finding out that Dumbledore and McGonagall were pretending to be his aunt and uncle. Hermione and Ron told him that they knew already Ron found out through his dad and told Hermione.
"I guess it took me long enough huh?" said Harry laughing.
"Well we are almost there," said Ron.
"Wow it still looks the same as it did last year," said Hermione.
Harry didn't think so, he thought it had this special glow about it, he loved Hogwarts it was his real home. It was his most favorite place in the world, he just wished the school year was longer.
"I can't believe I am a fifth year already," said Ron.
"Yeah I will find out if I became a prefect today so I can't eat dinner with you guys tonight," said Hermione.
"Its okay," Ron and Harry said.
Once the train stopped and the children got off the train and they heard Professor Sprout yelling.
"Canidates for prefect this ways please." Said Professor McGonagall. She looked over at Harry and winked at him.
"That's me" said Hermione they waved and she told them to meet her in the common room after dinner.
"First years this way," said a deep voice Ron and Harry turned around.
"Hagrid!" they both screamed.
"Gooday Harry Gooday Ron!"
Hagrid told them all about the new security at Hogwarts that neither of them should be worried in the least. Ron spoke of his summer and his brothers, how Percy was getting a job with his father at the Ministry of Magic. Harry spoke of his summer with his Foe Family. Made Hagrid laugh.
At dinner it was a little quieter without Hermione talking their ears off. Ron and Harry discussed quidittch and there new classes. The sorting hat was going through everyone's names very quickly this year shouting out houses.
"Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin."
"Gryffindor got many new first year students this year," said Neville. "I heard we got a new girl from America, I overheard Professor Sprout saying she was going to be a prefect."
"Longbottom who cares?" said Ron.
"I heard she is a real good witch and pretty as well," said Neville.
"Really," Harry and Ron synchronized.
Once Professor Dumbledore said his beginning of the year speech and put the feast on the tables. Dumbledore talked of deatheaters the news of the new security. How there are new walls and security cameras. But most of the students were distracted by the turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls, broccoli, corn, stuffing, cranberry sauce, ham, chicken, and all kinds of ice cream. After the feast Ron and Harry headed up to the room where one prefect was explaining the password to the first years.
"The password is Unicorn Hair," he said.
Ron and Harry waited in the common room by the fireplace. They were talking when they heard the door opening. In came Hermione with a silver badge on her burgundy robe. Behind her was the same girl from Diagon Alley the blonde girl.
"Hey guys this is Elyzabeth," said Hermione pointing to the girl beside her. She had a baby blue glittery robe on her and had sparkles all over her face.
"Elyzabeth Snow," she said.
"She is William Snow's daughter, she came from America," said Hermione.
"Pleased to meet you," said Ron. "Hiiiiii," said Harry his voice screeched as he talked.
"Harry are you okay you are looking a little peekish?" said Ron but he knew exactly what was wrong with him.
"Well I was wondering if you guys mind if I hang out with you?" said Elyzabeth "I don't want to be a bother"
" I told her it would be NO BOTHER would it Ron? Harry?" she said with a stare that says you better say yes!
"No of course not" said Ron.
"Abosolutely" said Harry.
They talked for a little in the common then they all decided to go to sleep and once they got to their rooms and saw the trunks perfectly arranged by their beds. They sighed but Harry always wondered how they could know especially in his first year to put him next to Ron.
