            Harry walked with Hermione and Ron as they led the way to the Gryffindor Tower, the new first years following them. They reached the portrait and the fat lady asked, "Password?"

            Ron looked at Hermione, expecting her to know. She sighed and said, "Dittany." The Gryffindor Common Room was soon packed with students.

            "Ready to go?" Harry asked Ron and Hermione. They nodded in response. The three headed across the grounds. They knocked on the front door of the small wooden house, and to Harry, Ron and Hermione's surprise, Hagrid seemed quite happy when he opened the door.

            "Hey Hagrid." Ron greeted as he bent down to pet Fang.

            "Hagrid, how are you feeling?" Hermione asked.

            "I'm fine, why do yeh ask?" Hagrid asked Hermione in a confused tone.

            "Hermione thinks you might feel sad because that new girl took your job." Harry replied as he just realized Fang had drooled all over his robes, as well as Ron's.

            "What? No, I'm not sad or anything because of Professor Kinomoto. Great woman she is, she knows how to take care of animals." Hagrid answered, "Sure, I'll miss teachin', but Kinomoto will do a better job."

            "Alright then Hagrid, we better head back now, we'll visit again soon." Ron said, patting Fang one more time before he left.

            "Alrigh', see you then." Hagrid said, holding Fang back from pouncing on Ron.

            "Bye Hagrid." Hermione said, heading back to the castle.

            "Well then, Hagrid wasn't feeling bad after all."  Harry said as they approached the fat lady.

            "Yeah, and if Hagrid thinks Professor Kinomoto is okay, than she probably not that bad right?" Ron said.

            "Ron, do you remember how Hagrid got his dragon egg? He thought the guy was 'okay' too." Hermione stated.

            "But he was drunk then, and this is a teacher we're talking about." Ron said.

            "Quirrell was a teacher too, remember? And since when did Ron Weasley stick up for teachers?" Hermione asked.

            "I think Ron's got a crush on our new Care of Magical Creatures teacher." Harry said, watching Ron go pink.

            "I do not, I just think we should give the new teachers a chance." Ron said defensively.

            "Well, we'll see tomorrow. We've got Care of Magical Creatures first thing." Harry answered, heading to the boys' dormitories, "I'm going to bed, goodnight." Harry heard mumbled 'goodnights' as he drifted off to sleep.

So there's chapter 1. I'm sorry it's not that long, but it seemed like a good place to stop. I'll try to make my next chapter longer. Thanks for all the reviews for the prologue. ^_^ Review please!
