Author's Note: Thanks Reviewers, again. And my Boss for the fantastic
ideas. Even though they might not show up until later. And also, when
something is in : : ... : :, that means I'm telling you it. And, my Pen
Name was Princess Sharanya, but I changed it to DreamOnForever.
Oh, right, the story...
~^~
^_^ Author's P.O.V. ^_^
It was 10:55. Five minutes until the Hogwarts Express left. Everyone was outside waiting for Neville to come while Mrs. Potter was giving hugs and kisses to everyone.
"Harry! Ron!" Neville yelled through a compartment window. "Sorry, I thought you guys might be coming late, so I saved seats. Come in!"
"Okay, bye Mum," Harry said hugging her one last time.
"Bye Mum." Jenny said.
"Mum, tell Dad I said bye and Sirius too. Bye" Chris said kissing his mother's cheek.
"Bye Mrs. Potter, thanks for having me and Ron here." Ginny said hugging her.
"My pleasure dear. It was so good having you guys here. Good luck with the cheerleading, girls."
Finally, after Hermione and Mrs. Potter said their good-byes to each other, everyone went on the train and sat with Neville except for Chris, who went to find his fifth year friends.
Jenny sat next to Neville. After everyone sat down and the train began to move, Jenny held Neville's hands, which made everyone gasp except for Ginny.
"You guys are - ?" Harry couldn't finish his sentence.
"Yes, we are," Jenny replied calmly.
Hermione asked, "When did this happen?"
"About four days ago." Neville replied.
"Oh," was all Ron could say.
Ginny replied, "Oh come on! It's not that shocking. You guys all knew that it was bound to happen."
No one said anything until Malfoy and his goons, Crabbe and Goyle came along an hour later.
"Oh look at this. It's the Weasel, Weaselette, Mudblood, Potty, Little Potty and Longbottom," smirked Malfoy.
"Shut up, Malfoy. I've been made Head-Boy you know? I can dock points any time I want. So watch out," Harry said.
Malfoy looked disgusted and led his stupid wanna-be's out of the way.
"Exploding Snap, anyone?" asked Ginny.
After 10 rounds, Hermione said, "We should change into our robes now. We're almost there. Half an hour, I would say."
The boys left and the girls quickly changed. Then the boys went in an changed.
:-: I feel mean, so I'm going to change the P.O.V. now. :-:
^_^ Ginny's P.O.V. ^_^
After we changed and just about began settling down, the Hogwarts Express began slowing down.
I jumped and squealed. I really wanted to see my other friends from there, although our circle of friends only included Me, Hermione, Jenny, Harry, Ron and Neville.
After the train stopped, we got our trunks and headed towards the carriages that took as to the school. Since the carriages only seats two people each, Harry and I got in one.
"Ginny?"
"Yeah?"
"Isn't it going to be odd seeing Jenny and Neville together now?"
"Yeah, but I'm sure we'll get used to it, Mr. Quidditch Captain and Mr. Head-Boy."
"Don't get me started, Ms. Cheerleading Captain."
"So, you've gotten over that fact, I see."
"Yeah, I know. Who do you think will turn up for the tryouts anyway?"
"I don't know. But I'm sure that Lavender and Parvati will be there."
"Probably. Just eight people to recruit, huh?" : : I changed it from Chapter Two. So if you guys look on it, it'll say eight people instead of eighteen. : :
"Yeah, thank God."
The carriage stopped and we got out accompanied by our trunks and headed for the Great Hall.
We met Ron, Hermione, Jenny and Neville there waiting for us. As soon as Ron saw us, he said, "I do hope the Sorting finishes quickly. I am so starving."
Hermione snorted and said, "Ron! You are so predictable."
I stared at her for a second before the Sorting began. After the Sorting, Professor Dumbledore began to speak.
"To our new comers, welcome to Hogwarts. To our other students, welcome back to another year at Hogwarts. Mr. Filch has asked me to remind all of you that magic in the corridors between classes is prohibited. It is my pleasure to announce that Hogwarts will have a Halloween Ball, a Christmas Ball and a Valentine's Day Ball."
I gasped along with most of the girls. The boys looked horrified.
"They will be only allowed for 5th years and above. The Head-boy and the Head-girl will be in charge of decorations. With the help of prefects. Yes, that means, the prefects of 5th and 6th years."
Harry looked at me for a second and whispered, "I have to be in charge of this?"
I giggled and said, "Yes, apparently. Congratulations, your mom would be so proud of you. So many responsibilities this year."
"Shut up, Ginny."
I giggled again and turned my attention to Dumbledore. "With that being said, I would like to also inform you that we will be having cheerleading teams this year for each house. Please see your notice boards in your common room for more information. Now time to eat."
Food appeared and we all started eating when Jenny said, "Wow! We're going to have Balls, like Muggles do."
"It's not very great, Jenny. You don't have to be in charge of it," said Harry. "But atleast Ginny gets to help me."
Ron said, "I reckon this year will be great."
When everyone finished eating, Dumbledore stood up again and said, "Please go to bed now. 5th year prefects, lead the first years to your common rooms. Goodnight."
With that everyone started leaving to the common room.
^_^ Harry's P.O.V. ^_^
NO!!! DUMBLEDORE CANNOT DO THIS TO ME! Why me? I have to be in charge of the balls, be the Quidditch captain and be the Head-Boy! I rolled over in my bed and looked at the clock. 5:45 AM. It read.
I decided to take a shower and go down to breakfast. So I took a quick shower and dressed into my school robes and went down to the common room. Ginny was there and looking at some magazine.
I hugged her and said, "Why, Ms. Weasley, you're up early."
"You, too Mr. Potter."
"Would you like to accompany me to the Great Hall for breakfast, Ms. Weasley?"
"That'd be great."
"Okay. Let's go."
I held out my hand and she took it and we walked down to the Great Hall. No one was there except for the professors. I looked at my watch and it read 6:15. We made our way to the Gryffindor table and sat next to each other. I grabbed a piece of toast and some eggs and started eating it.
"So when are the Quidditch tryouts?" asked Ginny.
"Next Friday at 5 o'clock. Do you know anyone who wants to try out? We need chasers and beaters."
"I don't know anyone so far. But whoever you choose will be great." Ginny said with a big smile on her face.
I replied, "Thanks, Ginny" and kissed her.
"Potter! Ms. Weasley! We will not have that kind of behavior here. 10 points from Gryffindor," McGonagall said.
"Professor! Term hasn't officially started yet. Don't take any points from us. Please!" I pleaded.
"Potter, you are the Head Boy. I think you should walk around without Ms. Weasley glued to you." she said.
I looked at Ginny with a big smile and she looked away blushing.
"I'm sorry, professor. Never again will it happen," Ginny said. Then she added only loud enough for me to hear, "In front of you."
I grinned and looked at McGonagall who looked furious and went to talk to Dumbledore.
"You're welcome." Ginny said.
"Thanks," I mumbled.
"So do you have any ideas for the Halloween Ball yet, Mr. Head Boy?"
"I think I'll leave that up to Hermione to make a Time-Table for the prefects to get together with us and talk over."
"Yeah, good idea."
"What's a good idea?" asked Jenny who had just come with Neville holding hands. It looked weird, but at the same time, I was happy for both of them.
"Long story, don't ask." Said Ginny.
After we were done eating our breakfasts, I said, "I'm going to go look at the Quidditch pitch to see how it is. Ginny, want to come?"
"Okay."
We left hands together outside the castle.
