Time for another chappie. After like forever! I'm sorry. Really, I am!
Don't hate me! I started this chapter like 500 times until I figured out
how to start it. I still don't like it, but it's better than my other
attempts and I don't think it's gonna get any better- so here goes nothing!
As Harry usually figured that people were mainly good or bad, he didn't know what to think about his older sister. She seemed like a pretty good person, but he got this weird feeling every time he looked at her- like she had a dark secret. I could have been the way she looked at him and tried to find something about him. Or it could have been the mysterious way that she kept glancing at her wrist; like she had something to hide.
But, he was jarred from his thoughts by a shout as he entered through the magical passageway into Platform 9 and 3 Quarters. "Oy, Harry! Over I found an empty compartment. Hurry! The train's leaving soon!" He looked up to see Ron leaning half way out a window about halfway down the train. He was about to fall out, but was grabbed from someone inside the train and pulled in. As Harry settled himself into a plush train seat, he sensed that something was different. He glanced around the compartment and realized that it was unusually quiet. "Hey, Ron, where's Pig?"
"Delivering a letter," replied Ron. "Mum needed him to send an important letter to Remus. Didn't think that Errol could make the long distance flight for some reason. Can't see why she would think that." He grinned
Harry laughed. Errol was getting pretty feeble in his last days. He could barely fly out to hunt anymore. He hadn't been able to be used to deliver a message in ages.
He stretched out on the plush compartment seats and yawned. He had hardly had any sleep the night before. He heard Ron get up to check the corridors and return a quarter of an hour later. He opened his eyes and saw that Hermione was with him. She plopped down onto the seat next to him.
"Hey, Harry! I have a surprise for you and Ron." She grinned.
"What is it?" asked Ron excitedly.
"Can't tell you just yet. You'll have to wait." Hermione replied coolly and began examining her fingernails.
Ron had a retort to that and the two of them started bickering. Harry thought about telling them to shut up, but remembered the lecture Hermione had given him last year and decided against it.
After a while Hermione got tired of arguing and picked up one of her school books and ignored Ron's futile attempts to tell her more. Eventually, Ron gave up and began talking to Harry about quidditch.
Around noon the plump witch with the food cart came by, and the bought as much food and sweets as they could afford and had jelly bean wars with Bertie Bott's every flavor jelly beans until Hermione made them stop because the kept hitting her. So, they began fighting with cauldron cakes and made a huge mess of the compartment. Hermione ignored this as long as she could, until a cauldron cake splattered all over her Standard Book of Spells Grade 6. Then she erupted and yelled at them, and didn't stop until the noise had attracted Neville, Dean, Semus, and Ernie Mcmillan.
After it had been dark for sometime, they eventually reached the school. Harry tensed up remembering how horrible last year had been. He didn't relax until he heard the familiar "Firs' years this way. Firs' years over here." He gladly climbed into the thestral guided carriage and got out of the fiercely blowing wind. As the carriage jolted up the hill to the castle, Harry remembered this time last year when everyone- even himself- thought he was crazy because of the thestrals. Now he was relaxed knowing he was going home.
When they entered into the entrance hall, Harry noticed that Peeves was still following Fred's and George's order. The place was a disaster and Professor Mcgonnagle was yelling at the top of her lungs that "Umbridge has left! You can stop now!"
"Doesn't look like he wants to stop, eh," said Ron.
Hermione frowned, "obviously not. Dumbledor will make him though."
"yeah."
~~~
Sitting down at the Gryffindor table, Harry glanced up at the staff table.
"Hey! There's Crystal."
Both Ron and Hermione looked up, they had never seen her before and they were curious to see what she looked like.
Hermione gasped, "Oh, Harry! You know who she reminds me of?"
"Who?"
"Your mom! Those pictures of her in her wedding! That's who she reminds me of!"
Harry looked up at the staff table to his sister. "Yeah, your right. I guess I never thought of it before."
"She's hot."
Both Harry and Hermione turned to look at him. Hermione raised her eyebrows.
"What? She is!"
Harry started laughing and Hermione shook her head. She turned away and started talking to Lavender and Parvati.
The first years entered the hall just then and there was a sudden hush. Everyone turned to look at the sorting hat.
"Oo……hh I'm the sorting hat
and I'll tell you where you'll be
if you just set me on your head
and listen to me……."
"Damn, it would suck to be a hat and make up songs your whole life." Ron whispered to Harry.
"Yeah, the rhyming would drive me crazy," he answered louder than he meant.
"Shut up Harry," Hermione whispered. "I want to hear." Ron smirked at him. Harry growled at him and kicked him underneath the table.
"Ow, what did you do that for?" he grumbled.
"Will you to grow up and be quiet please?" Hermione hissed at them.
"I will if Harry does." Ron retorted. Hermione rolled her eyes and turned to watch the hat again. The sorting began.
"Adams, Samuel"
SLYTHERIN!
The Slytherin table cheered; Ron rolled his eyes in disgust.
"Arnst, Allen" ::cough, cough- author laughs at with friends::
HUFFLEPUFF!
"Art, Ryan"
GRIFFINDOR!
Harry cheered with the rest of the table as the kid sat down red faced.
"Crazy, Wendy" ::cough::
HUFFLEPUFF!
More cheering.
"Felton, Kayla"
SLYTHERIN!
Ron and Harry got bored and started talking again and begging food to appear on the plates to fill their empty stomachs. Hermione frowned, but said nothing.
"Magnoly, Maggie"
RAVENCLAW!
"Come on," Ron moaned at his plate. "Get it over with already."
"Sparrow, Robin"
RAVENCLAW!
"Windent, Elizabeth"
"Let's go, come on. I am soooooooooo hungry," Harry groaned.
"Everyone is hungry Harry, but have some sympathy on the poor first years." Hermione said. "You were one of them once-"
"Hey!" Ron interrupted her- she frowned. "That Elizabeth kid has been up there for ages! Hurry up Hat!" he almost shouted. Hermione smacked him.
GRYFFINDOR!
"Finally," Harry and Ron breathed at the same time, but Dumbledor stood up to talk.
"I have a few announcements to make." He looked tired, but as always, his eyes were twinkling. "As before, the Forbidden Forest is out of bounds. And Filch has asked me once again to remind you all- not magic in the corridors. And I would like to announce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Crystal Diamond (A/N what a name huh?).
Everyone clapped as was custom. "Now, let the feast begin!"
Food appeared on all the plates. The noise level in the hall took a definite merry upswing, and everyone ate and talked.
When everyone had eaten, Dumbledor dismissed them and they headed up to the tower. Like they did the year before, Ron and Hermione led the first years and Harry followed. When they gave the password (maple tree) and entered the common room, Harry went upstairs to the dorm while Ron and Hermione gave instructions to the first years. He lay on his bed and smiled.

PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP?!
