I am going to start posting every Saturday. Or I'll try anyway. Thank you
to all my reviewers. I am so glad you are all so nice. Sorry I can write
fast enough, I am running out of ideas for leading up to the climax which
is so cool so put me on your story alert list so you won't forget to read
my story. Oh, and sorry about the paragraphs being so hard to read. I don't
know how to space them out. Now, I've rambled long enough, to the story.
Chapter 5: Back to Hogwarts
The train ride to Hogwarts was just as normal as the other years. Even the part where Draco came in. Except for a few key things that changed everything. " Well, well, if it isn't Potter." He said in his drawling voice. " Shut it Malfoy." Was Harry's answer. " I'd watch it if I were you. My father will be out of prison soon, and when he is, you'll have to keep a closer watch on the redheaded one. If you get my drift Potter." He said." Harry was about to put a hex on Malfoy when he felt someone's hand on his arm; he already had his wand out. Harry looked to his side to see Ginny standing beside him, but she looked sad. Ginny walked past Malfoy and down the corridor and out of sight. Harry turned to Hermione puzzled. "Get out or I'll hex you into next week Malfoy." Harry said. Malfoy smirked and said, " I don't think Ginny likes you anymore Potter. Better go find yourself someone else who will obsess over you." Malfoy walked away with a very big smirk on his face. "Why was Ginny upset?" Harry asked Hermione. "Harry, do you like Ginny?" She asked with a weird expression on her face. Harry looked over at Ron who's face was slowly turning a red color. Harry figured he might as well let it out now. They'd find out sooner or later. "Yeah. I didn't want to like her at first because I didn't know how." but Harry never got to finish his sentence because Ron started yelling so loud that Hermione put a silencing spell on him because she was afraid people would come to see who was fighting. Ron was really mad. At Harry, for even thinking about his little sister, and at Hermione because she wouldn't let him finish yelling at Harry. Ron stormed out of the compartment to find someone to remove his silencing charm. "Great. Now the only Weasley's left at Hogwarts are mad at me." Harry said.
" Harry did you know that Ginny had a boyfriend?" Hermione asked. "What? She does? Who?" He asked. " Well, Ron doesn't know, obviously, but I don't think I should be the one to tell you either." " Hermione! Come on!" Harry yelled. "Ginny has been going out with Dean Thomas, but he broke up with her because he liked Parvati, who likes you. And that is all I can tell you." She said. " Hermione, that's not fair. Tell me why she doesn't like me." Harry said. " Harry, I hate to tell you this, but I don't think Ginny likes you as anything but a brother. You should talk to her. Once she knows you like her, she will like you again." Hermione suggested. "No, Hermione, I am not going to force her to like me. If she doesn't already like me, she won't at all." Harry said. Later, Ron came back into the compartment after having the charm removed. Ron was much calmer, but he still looked mad. He wouldn't talk to Harry. Harry stayed depressed for the rest of the ride. Ginny never came back to the compartment. Harry and Hermione entered the Great Hall along with the other sixth years. Malfoy smirked at Harry again. Ron was walking a few steps behind Harry and Hermione and he looked as if he was doing some serious thinking. " Don't worry Harry, he'll get over it." Hermione assured him. They all sat down at the Gryffindor table and ate their dinner. After dinner Dumbledore had a somewhat strange announcement. "Welcome to Hogwarts everyone. As you all know, there is a great war in the wizarding world now. There will be hard times this year, I am sure of it. The Quidditch Cup will still be played. All members of the Quidditch teams will have a meeting tomorrow after dinner in the Charms corridor. As for those who wish to try-out, they will be held within two weeks time. There will be a Yule ball, and also one at Halloween. Now, off to bed." Dumbledore's speech was very curt and short. That was very unlike him. Harry walked up to his dorm alone. He saw Ginny once before she want upstairs to her dorm. He wanted to go talk to her, but he didn't have the courage. Plus, Ron would curse him. Harry changed into his pajama's, and was climbing into bed when Ron walked in. "Harry, I just want you to know if you like her, go for it. I have no place telling you not to. And I couldn't pick anyone better for her. I'd rather it be you than some scumbag from Ravenclaw or something." Ron said. No one else in the room had any idea who they were talking about. " Thanks mate, but Hermione said she only thinks of me as a brother. So it was kind of a wasted fight." Harry said. Though Ron really meant what he said, he couldn't help but be a bit happier. Harry fell asleep that night with an empty feeling. He had lost every one who had truly loved him, and the only people he had left were Ron and Hermione. He was grateful for their friendship, but he really wanted Sirius back. As Harry thought about Sirius, tears filled his eyes. Harry eventually fell asleep not knowing that this year would be the hardest he would ever have.
