Mr. Weasley had gotten cars from the Ministry of Magic yet again. Ginny, Hermione, and Mrs. Weasley in one car, and Harry, Ron, and Mr, Weasley in another. They had a most enojoyable trip to King's Cross that day. When they arrived at King's Cross Staion they put their trunks on carts and they watched as the cars they had been in a few minutes earlier weave in and out of cars on the highway, heading back to the Ministy of Magic. They walked into the station in one big group and walked toward Platfrom 9 3/4. Ginny, Hermione, and Ron walked through the wall to the platrom.
Mrs. Weasley pulled Harry back and said, "Harry, now you take care of yourself this year, try not to get into trouble ok." She kissed him on the top of the head, and pushed him toward the platform. Harry looked back and her and then disappeared onto Platform 9 3/4 where, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny where waiting for him, so they could all get onto the train together.
As they pulled their trunks up the stairs to get onto the train, Draco Malfoy approached them and said, "Hey Potter, been at the Weasley's shack again this summer. Shame, shame. I thought someone who saves the world every year would pick better friends, other then those who live in a pig pin and those who are mudbloods. But if you think about it, you are a bit odd now aren't you Potter?" Malfoy sneered and walked away to where Crabbe and Goyle where standing outside of a compartment.
Ron jumped after Malfoy but Harry caught him before he could get him, and Hermione's eyes had gone glassey at being called a mudblood.
Harry said, "Doesn't he have anything better to do then make fun of people? He should just go flush his head down Moaning Myrtles toilet."
Hermione, Ron, and Ginny all laughed at this. They all found an empty compartment at the end of the train. They all sat down but Ginny. She shut the door so their conversations could be more private.
Ginny sat back down and said, "I wonder who the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is?"
Hermione said, "Oh...I heard that it was a women named Synthia Trinithy. I heard that she is really good at Defense Against the Dark Arts and that she is an Auror."
Ron looked at Harry and rolled his eyes. No one wanted to know who the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher was. Hermione and Ginny went on talking about Defense Against the Dark Arts and school. On the other hand Ron and Harry started a different conversation.
Ron looked at Harry and said, "I wonder if Snape will ever get to be the Dada teacher. He has applied for that position almost every year that he has been at this school. Maybe that is why he is so harsh and mean during lessons, he doesn't want to teach potions, he wants to teach Dada."
"Ya and taking all of that anger out on us," said Harry.
The train was beginning to slow down do they all figured that now was a good time to change into their robes.
Harry turned to Hermione and said, "We don't have to take any O.W.L.s or N.E.W.T.s this year do we?"
"Well...none that I know of," said Hermione.
The train came to a stop. Hermione, Ginny, Ron, and Harry, gathered up their belongings and headed for the train exit, dragging their luggage behind them. Harry stepped out of the train and dropped his trunk off where he usually did all of his other years. He heard a familiar voice say, "Firs' years ov'r here." He turned to see Hagrid ushering some nervous looking first years onto some boats. Ron dragged Harry into an empty carriage and they all got in. They talked about school all the way up to the front steps leading up to the Great Hall. They got out of the carriage and walked into the school. Harry was really hungry and didn't want to wait for Dumbledore's speech and the sorting before he could eat. They all sat down at the Gryffindor house table, and awaited the sorting.
