Sixth Year Chapter Two

Ron Weasley went through the barrio of platform 9 ¾ at Kings Cross station, he spotted his friend Hermione Granger,

"Hey, Hermione," he called out.

"Hey Ron, how was your summer?" she asked, when he reached her,

"Great! Where's Harry?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen him, perhaps he's on the train."

"Let's go find him."

Finally after looking in every compartment they found their best friend, Harry Potter, reading a book, and not just any book, but Hogwarts: A History!

"Harry! How ya doing pal?"

"Fine, you?" Harry responded.

"Fantastic, Bloody Hell!" he spotted the book.

"Hi, Harry, how was your summer?" Hermione came in and hugged Harry.

"Great," he responded sarcastically, "Yours?"

"A blast!"

"Hermione, did you send him that book?" Ron asked.

"No, I sent him a History of Quidditich."

"I got it from Remus."

"You sure your all right, Harry, your actually reading Hogwarts: A History."

"Hey!" Hermione responded to Ron's comment.

"Why are you, Harry?"

"I wanted to, is there a problem?"

"No, it's just odd."

"So, what did you guy's do this summer?" Hermione asked, stopping the beginnig of a possible argument.

"I worked with Fred and George at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, made some dough, their location in Diagon Alley is prime."

"I sat in a room with bars on the window and the door always locked, it was so much fun," Harry answered, "My food came through a cat flap."

"Are you serious, Harry?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you say anything in your letters? You could stayed with me or Ron," Hermione asked.

"I had to stay with my blood relatives for protection, Dumbledores orders."

"Did you get out at all?" Ron asked.

"Does it look like I did? The only time I was let out, besides the toilet was when Lupin, Moody, and Tonks came to pick me up this morning for the train," he answered flatly.

"So, how did you two do on your O. W. L. 's?" Hermione asked.

"I did pretty good, except for Astronomy and History of Magic."

"Great, Ron, I got Outstanding in everything, but Astronomy, why did they attack Hagrid during our O. W. L. 's? I HATE Umbridge, how'd you do, Harry?" He pulled out his letter and handed it to her.

It read:

To: Mr. Harry James Potter Scores for O. W. L. 's

Astronomy-Poor Care of Magical Creatures-Exceeds Expectations Charms-Exceeds Expectations Defense Against the Dark Arts-Outstanding Divination-Poor Herbology-Exceeds Expectations History of Magic-Dreadful Potions-Outstanding Transfiguration-Outstanding

"Bloody Hell! You got an Outstanding in Potions! How'd you pull that off?!" Ron asked/exclaimed.

"Wow, Harry, you did awesome!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Yeah, but you did Spectacular," Harry replied to her compliment.

"Damn Harry, you don't take Divination anymore, and I do," Ron whined.

"Yippee, no more dying every week," Harry unenthusiastically replied.

"Harry, are you allowed to play Quidditich this year?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, there was a letter from Dumbledore with my scores."

"Awesome, do you know who captain is?"

"No idea, don't you have Prefect duties?" Harry answered/asked.

"Oh, yeah."

"Forgot about those got to go, see you in a bit, Harry," Hermione said as she and Ron were walking out of the compartment, Harry resuming his reading.

"Oh, he's really doing great, isn't he?" Hermione sarcastically said, when out of earshot of the compartment.

"He is, isn't he," Ron answered.

"Are you really that thick, he's miserable."

"Why?"

"Why do you think?"

"I don't know?"

"Sirius, he's lost his only way out, his confident, the closest thing to a parent he's ever had."

"I forgot."

"How can you forget something like that? Harry's your best friend, and you forgot someone so important to him."

"What's your problem?"

"The fact that you're an idiot."

"Shut up."

"No, do you know what?"

"What?"

"Harry's grieving, he's depressed, he's hiding something."

"What is there to hide?"

"I'm not sure, but something he found out last year is eating at him, on top of the sadness and depression."

"I wonder what it is?"

"So, do I, but hopefully one of these days, he'll tell us what's troubling him, besides the obvious."

"So, who do you think is Head Boy and Girl?"

"No clue."

That is chapter 2, okay who do you think should be captain, one of the temper twins, Harry or Ron, or Ginny? I'm thinking Harry or Ginny, because she won't bite peoples head off like Harry or Ron, let me know what you think, thanks review. -ears91
