"Wake up, you idiot." Fred shouted at his brother Ron.
"Why do I have to wake up so early?" A sleepy Ron asked.
"Because its dads birthday! Boy, what a git." George answered as he handed
Ron his robe.
"Oh sorry! I forgot" Ronald Weasley got up out of his bed. "Boy, what a day
I'm having. I wake up late, forget its dads birthday, I bet even Harry, my
best friend doesn't have this kind of trouble." He thought to himself.
"Ron, George, Fred! Come down here this instant. Dad is on his way home."
Mrs. Weasley called up to the boys.
"We better get going Ronny old boy. See you down stairs." George said as he
apparated.
When Ron came downstairs, everyone gathered around the table. Fred and
George came out with Mr. Weasley. He was blindfolded. Fred placed Mr.
Weasley in front of the cake While George took off the blindfold.
"Surprise!" They shouted. Mr. Weasley was shocked. He didn't know that his
family planned this for him. Fred handed his dad a package that said Handle
with Care from George and I. Mr. Weasley opened it and stared. Inside the
package was a smaller package. Mr. Weasley opened that one and out popped a
Grimsey worm (a really fuzzy worm that moves if you put a spell on it. Fred
and George laughed. They knew that Mr. Weasley was afraid of those types of
worms. Mr. Weasley looked terrified at first, and then he began to laugh
because Fred and George forgot to put the grimsey spell on the worm.
Everyone, even Percy and Mrs. Weasley laughed. Then the others handed Mr.
Weasley the presents and the party got started.
The surprise party for Mr. Weasley turned out to be great. Everyone in the
Weasley family was there even Harry and Hermione. The next few days were
spent packing and getting their school things ready. Then the before they
were about to leave, came and went. Hogwarts was going to be different this
year; Ron had a strange feeling about that.
*** $$$***$$$***$$$***$$$***$$$***$$$***$$$***$$$***$$$***$$$***$$$*** "Hurry up you three, the train will be leaving any minute." Mr. Weasley called to Harry Fred and Ron. Fred and George were aloud to go back to Hogwarts since they left when that Umbridge woman left. Dumbledore understood. Harry and Ron make it to platform 9 ¾ and on to the train just in time. "Let's go find Hermione and Ginny." Harry suggested as the two boys headed off on the train. They came to a place at the back of the train and found the two girls waiting for them. Ron put his stuff in the compartment above and sat down. As he looked around the compartment, he realized that his Muggle clothing was torn at the bottom. "I hate being in a poor family." He thought to himself. He was always the last one to have anything at all. Even Ginny, his younger sister got things before he did. He wished that he could have money for himself and keep it in Gringotts. But he had to be in a family of seven and the second youngest. His older brothers Bill and Charlie no longer lived with them. They had already left Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He sighed as the train rolled along the countryside. "Look Goyle, even with out talking Weasley looks like a troll." Malfoy sneered at Ron. "Shut up you git." Harry called and reached for his wand. Hermione closed Voyages with Ghosts up and looked at Ron. "Ron, don't do anything. I'm surprised that you and Harry made it on the train this time." She said with a know-it-all tone. "You know what, the mudblood's right." Malfoy determined. Ron had had it with Malfoy making fun of him and Hermione. He jumped up and shoved Malfoy and his cronies out the door, and then he slammed the door shut and sat back down. Harry and Hermione were surprised about Ron's reaction. "Ron, is something wrong?" Harry said as he put his wand back in his robes. "It's just that I'm fed up with Malfoy making fun of my family. If he does that one more time, he'll pay I mean it." Ron said. "Ron, fighting is not going to solve anything, I'm sorry I mentioned that fact in front of Malfoy." Hermione said. The door to the compartment opened again and the Lady with the food trolley appeared. Ron wished he had money again and opened the sandwiches his mum always fixed for him. He began to chew. Harry bought a lot of sweets and passed them out to Hermione and Ron. Hermione took a chocolate frog and opened it. She gasped. "Ron, look who's on the card! Hagrid! I wonder what he did to deserve this. He didn't mention any of this to us last year!" "He must have done something for the Ministry of Magic over the summer." Harry said as he looked at the card. "Harry, look, it says Hagrid helped with some mishap about Dragons in Egypt. The dragons were deadly and guarding a tomb. He went to Hogwarts but was expelled in his third year. The ministry cleared his name from that incident and others when Hagrid helped calm the dragons. He even saved Cornelius Fudge's life from a dangerous Hungarian Horntail. "Wow. This is great. We have to tell everyone. Boy, can you think of the look on Malfoy's face when he finds out?" Ron cried out suddenly. The train pulled into Kings Cross Station in London and everyone went on their way to Hogwarts. Every year the first years were sorted into Hogwarts by a special hat called The Sorting Hat. They were sorted in the houses Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. The sorting was quicker this year. The sorting hat had a song, but it was short. Professor McGonagall took the old hat away and sat back down at the teachers table. The Great Hall seemed more crowded this year because of the first years. Professor Dumbledore stood up and gave his speech "Welcome back students to another wonderful year full of learning and knowledge. First years should know that the Forbidden Forest is not to be touched. No one should go in there unless they have permission. This will be at a rare occasion if I or another member of my staff has given permission. We have another new teacher this year in the spot of our Defense Against the Dark arts class the teacher will be Miss. Krankard. He has come to Hogwarts to help me as a favor. I hope all of you will learn a lot in his class and in the others. I only have a few reminders left: Mr. Filch, for those of you who don't know who he is, he is the caretaker, reminded me that absolutely NO magic should be practiced in the corridors before classes or after classes. Also, I would like to remind everyone, that third years and above are welcome to go to Hogsmeade with their permission of parent or guardian. With that, I am finished with my announcements. Let the feast begin." Dumbledore sat down and the golden plates and goblets were soon filled with excellent food from the kitchens. "I am glad that he has finally finished." Ron exclaimed as he reached for his dinner.
*** Later on that night, the meal finished up. Everyone in the Great Hall was full and sleepy. Professor Dumbledore sat up and said "Everyone should go get ready for bed. Prefects and the Heads of Houses would please show the first years where to go." Hermione Granger led the first years and the rest of the Gryffindors to the Gryffindor tower on the seventh floor. "Pass word this year is undanuccio. Welcome to Gryffindor!" Hermione said as the fat lady swung open her portrait. Gryffindors yawned with excitement and walked up to their dormitories and started to go get ready for bed. Ron and Harry's dormitory now read sixth years. Ron pulled on his pajamas and climbed in bed. "Good night Harry." He called as he pulled the curtain to his bed shut and fell asleep thinking about what the next day would be like.
