Back to Hogwarts: Chapter five
~~Harry~~
A few weeks passed, It was July. Attacks by Voldemort were happening everywhere. People were beginning to believe that he was returning. No one knew who to trust and who not to trust. Fear was everywhere. Azkaban had been broken into, the dementors had sided with Voldemort. Just as Dumbledore had predicted. Harry hadn't heard from Sirius in a long time. He was getting worried. What if Voldemort had found him!! He didn't know what to do. Harry was beside himself with worry for days. Not even Ginny could make him see sense. Then there was a scratching sound at the door. Mrs. Weasley opened it and saw a large black dog. The black dog walked inside. Mrs. Weasley closed the door. The dog then changed forms into…… "Why hello Sirius" Mrs. Weasley said.
"Hello Molly. Not afraid of me anymore?"
"No. I think if Dumbledore trusts you, you must be innocent." Harry and Ginny walked into the kitchen where Mrs. Weasley was fixing lunch. Harry saw Sirius, "SIRIUS!!" Harry said with delight.
"Hello Harry. How have you been? I want to hear about your summer." Sirius said. Mrs. Weasley asked "Would you like some lunch Sirius?"
"Yes please Molly. I don't know the last time I had a meal was. Oh Harry, Buckbeak is with an old Defense Against Dark Arts Teacher of yours."
"Professor Lupin??"
"Yes. And call him Remus. I'm sure he prefers it. Buckbeak is having the time of his life. And I would love to hear all about your summer…….. After lunch. You're sure that this is ok Molly?"
"Of course I am Sirius." Mrs. Weasley replied. Harry and Ginny ran outside to look for Ron and Hermione. They found them 'practicing quidditch' again. "On your own broom this time I see Hermione." Harry said. Hermione and Ron were laughing as they flew back down. "Yea I think I've got the hang of it" Hermione said blushing slightly. "Ooo cool Hermione what position are you best at?" Ginny inquired.
"Chaser"
"Cool me too."
"Are you going to try out for Chaser Ginny? You do know that all of the chaser positions are open."
"REALLY?!? COOL!!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Hermione Ron guess what!" Harry said. "You'll never guess. Sirius is here!!
~~The Week before school~~
Mrs. Weasley had gone to Diagon Alley. Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny were the only ones going to Hogwarts this year. Sirius had left, he was resting for a day. Mr. Weasley came back. Percy was staying at St. Mungo's for some time. They were thinking of using a powerful confounds charm on him to make him forget his feelings for Hermione but they were afraid that these feelings would seriously damage his intelligence.
Hermione, Ron and Harry would start their 5th year, Ginny would be starting her 4th. "Wow, fifth year!!" Hermione said as they all looked up at the scarlet red Hogwarts Express from the platform. Their trunks were loaded and their trolleys were full. "Can't believe we've gotten this far. Especially with the "adventures" we have and the trouble that we seem to find Right Harry?" Ron said
"What? oh yea I guess so." Harry said absentmindedly. He was thinking of other things, or people. Harry had just seen Cho Chang, a pretty Ravenclaw 6th year walked past them. Ron and Hermione thought that he was looking at Ginny who was talking to her friends. "Come on lover-boy, time to get on the train."
After the train left a small boy knocked on the door to the compartment. "Hi I'm Bart Prewett!" the boy said as he opened the door. He had black hair and was about Harry's height. The boy had a somewhat wheezy voice, like he had just been running or something. Ron looked up and an odd expression crossed his face, Ron looked as if he felt genuinely sorry for him. Harry didn't get a chance to ask why though. Hermione asked "Would you like to sit with us Bart??"
"Thank you for offering. Everywhere else is full. I'm going to be a 4th year. I transferred from the Salem Academy of Magic. I don't know many people yet." Bart wheezed.
"Well, I'll introduce everyone so you'll at least know three people. I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron Weasley and………."
"Ron Weasley?!? Your dad and my dad used to be friends before…." Bart looked as if he was about to cry. Hermione consoled him. Harry waited until he looked as if he had calmed down a little bit before he introduced himself.
"I'm Harry Potter." Harry said.
"REALLY?!!? That is soo cool!!" Bart said. After he said this Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle came into the compartment.
"Well, well, well Potter. Looks like you have a new boyfriend. Sorry Weasley. " Malfoy drawled.
"Buzz off Malfoy." Ron said as Bart's ears turned bright scarlet (this is what happens to Bart instead of blushing).
"No, I don't think we will leave. Maybe we want to make fun of your new friend Potter." Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle made threatening moves towards Bart when.
"Wat iz going on in 'ere??" a familiar voice said. Ron's mouth dropped open as Fleur stood in the doorway.
"What's it to you?" Malfoy said.
"Well, as I am now a Professor of 'Ogwarts Monsieur Malfoy, I think I need to know!" Fleur said as Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle decided to leave. Ron, Hermione, and Harry were stunned as Fleur sat down. "Well I promised I would see you all again and 'ere I am!!" Fleur said in her charming French accent. Her English was improving.
"That is great Fleur." Ron said dreamily. "Ow!! Hermione what was that for?" Hermione stepped on Ron's foot. Then she put one finger under his chin and lightly pulled him until he was looking at her. She shook one finger at him and kissed him.
"Do that again Ron and I might get upset with you." Hermione scolded playfully. Fleur took no notice of this.
"Ah but 'o iz dis charming young man?" Fleur asked.
"Oh Fleur this is Bart. He is a 4th year transfer student." Harry said.
"Bonjour Bart!"
"H-h-hi" Bart said in a very small voice. He looked very nervous at the prospect of having a Professor sit with them.
"So Fleur what are you going to teach??" Harry asked.
"Defense Against Dark Arts, I'm an assistant Professor to be exact. A Madame Arabella Figg is the real professor."
"You're KIDDING right Fleur?"
"Non, 'Arry I was assured that I was assisting Madame Figg. Dumbledore 'as decided that if the Defense Against Dark Arts job was split; one teacher for the older children, one for the younger children; then maybe the teachers would last more than a year."
"Have you met Mrs. Figg?"
"Oui. Why?"
"Does she smell like cats?"
"Oui!! C'est vrai!! 'Ow did you know 'Arry?" Fleur asked with interest.
"She's my neighbor. But I didn't know that she was a witch." Harry said. All the way to Hogwarts they were talking merrily about how they were going to spend the year.
When they arrived at Hogwarts they took the horseless carriages straight up to Hogwarts.
