Chapter 5 Start of Term
Soon it was time to leave for Hogwarts. It was not the usual rush. Most of the packing for all the students was done by Dobby and Winky.
They took a special portkey to Platform 9 3/4. All of them settled down in their compartments. Hermione, Ron and Ginny went to the Prefects Compartment for the meeting, leaving Neville, Luna and Harry in the compartment.
Soon enough Draco with his two cronies and Pansy made their trip.
"Well do we have here? Mr. Scarhead is feed up of Weasel company has found up some other crazies to spend his time with."
"Hi Draco. How are you and your mother? How is your Father doing? Hope Azkaban is most kind on him. May be you will get to see him soon."
Draco went a delicate shade of pink at that statement "I will get you for what you have done Potter."
Ron and Hermione came in "Well what do we have here. Why Draco, I did not see you at the prefects meeting? What happened did they take away your badge? Well they seem to be doing the right things now a days. Now if you don't leave I will remove house points for insulting remarks."
After Draco exited the compartment and the prefects came back in. There was silence for some time. Harry then said that it was time to go and change their clothes. The ladies went to find an all girls compartment leaving Ron, Neville and Harry in the compartment.
Neville then asked the question "Do you think Luna like me?"
Ron and Harry looked at each other and said, "I don't know. She is in Ravenclaw. You could ask her to help you on one of your subjects or ask her to help you locate a book on Herbology, she should know where it is. That would be a start" Harry replied
Ron then jumped up "Harry, you know I love Hermione."
"Yes. And so does the whole school." Neville replied
"Are we that obvious. Anyway I have been giving her so much attention. I ask her if I can carry her books and all. But there is no response. Non-at all. What do I do? I need help."
"Well it is pretty obvious that she like you too. May be you should just ask her out."
"What if she says 'No'?"
"How do you know until you have asked?"
"I can't. Tell me to fight Deatheaters again. I will do that. This I cant."
"Well you can try to make her jealous. Try flirting with someone."
"Don't you think that it will make her angry"
"Yes but that's the idea. When she gets angry ask her why. May be she will start seeing someone just to make you angry. But that is a chance you will have to take."
"That is to big a risk."
"Then tell her that you like her."
"I could not do that."
"You have my suggestion. Ron"
When the girls returned they found all the boys sitting with thoughtful expressions on their face.
As soon as they got down they way the big frame of Hagrid herding all the first years. Harry and the rest of the gang looked up and smiled at the giant and got the same. Soon they made their way to the Great Hall. Ron saw Lavender looking his way and said "Hi Lav, Looking Good." If looks could kill then Ron would have been Dead and Buried so fast. He got glares from Ginny, Luna, Seamus (Who was trying to get Lavenders interest.) and of course Hermione. Ron was so afraid that he started to fall back. Harry and Neville also fell back to keep him company. When the approached the table they saw that the 3 girls were sitting away from them. To their surprise Lavender and Parvati had saved them place, which they took. Seeing this the scowl on the girls faces deepened.
At the staff table the entire staff with Lupin who would be taking DADA this year sat. There was also Fudge and Arthur Weasley sitting along side Dumbledore. Snape was there, scowling as usual. The rest of the teachers were also there. Firenze seemed to be missing. He had of course gone back to his tribe after Dumbledore spoke to them. So Mrs. Sibyll was back.
Once the sorting was done with. Dumbledore rose and started his annual speech "Good Evening to all of you. Another year starts. This year is going to test all of you. As you know The Ministry has now acknowledged the fact that Voldemort" (shudders) " is back. A fact which Mr. Potter and I have been telling for the past year." This earned him a glare from the Minister. "We will be tested this year. We hope to battle him and win. We must all cooperate with each. It is only with unity that we will be able to overcome this problem. Now on a happier note All player banned from Quidditch are no longer banned. Also The DA is now an official club. The Name has been changed to Defense Association. Dueling will also be taught to all of you. Prof Lupin and Prof Snape will be doing this, so it will be a better attempt than last time. Mr. Filch has added canary creams and many other these from the WWW to the list of Banned item. Also the Forbidden forest is forbidden. Magic in the Corridors is banned. If you do see Giant crossing the grounds then feel free to introduce yourself to Grawp. He is Hagrid's brother and is very kind and loving person. Now 'Tuck In.'"
Soon the Feast was over. Harry and boys had a lot of attention because they were surrounded by giggling girls (Lav, Parvati, and a few from 5th years.) Prefect Ron rose to the guide the first years to the dormitory "Hey You Lilliputs. Follow me." sending Lav and Parvati into giggles. A furious Hermione along side him.
Ron showed them all the finer points of the castle like "There is a broom closet here. No one checks it. So if you need to snog someone it is a good place" Hermione was furious "Ron. if you continue this I will deduct house points." Ron said weakly "Just showing them the castle." Hermione took over "That is the Charms Class room. and here is the way to the Library. and the Headmaster Office." By the time they were at the entrance to the Gryffindor common room the first years were bored (may be not all of them thought.)
"The password?" announced the Fat lady
Ron said "Phoenix" and they all went in. Soon the all of them were settled. Ron, Harry, Hermione & Neville were in one corner of the common room. Ginny was with Dean who was explaining soccer. Hermione said "We must find some room outside here that all of us can meet. Not the Room of Requirements. Somewhere we can call our own." Harry and the rest of then nodded. Just then Lav gave Ron a flying kiss and went to bed, which sent Ron blushing.
Later Harry and Neville retired for the day. Leaving Ron and Hermione in their corner. Hermione turned to ask Ron "Do you like Lavender?"
Ron replied "Yes, but just as a friend. Not like that."
Hermione said angrily "When then why were you flirting with her."
Ron said, "What are you getting angry about? It not like you like me. I carry your book and follow you around. You just ignored me."
Hermione was shocked "Do you like me?"
Ron gave her a smug look and said, "I thought that was obvious. Everyone in the Gryffindor house knows I like you."
Ron was about to say something else but could not a chance there were a set of lips being pressed onto his own.
Later when Ron came into the Boys Dorm he wore a smug smile on his face. Harry and Neville turned to face him. Harry asked, "So how would you describe your first kiss?"
Ron looked upward stroked his chin and replied "Wet, Definitely wet." with that the 3 of them burst of laughing.
The next day at breakfast Ron and Hermione sat close. Very Close. Soon the head of the their house came and gave them their schedule. Harry looked it over and smirked He had Double Advanced Defense then lunch and then Double Potions. At least potions were not the first thing in the morning. Tuesdays He had Magical Creature followed by Defense again Creatures, Lunch and then Double Advanced Transfigation. Wednesday He had Auror Dueling in the morning and no classes after Lunch. Thursdays started with Double Complicated Charms and after lunch he had Double Poisons and Antidotes. Friday also had only Morning class, which was Double Human Transfigation with the evening Free. But there was a note stating that Saturdays Morning he was to visit Dumbledore for his Occlumency & Legilimens training.
After examining their schedule they noticed that the four 6th years were to be in the same class for Transfigation, Defense and Charms. Ron and Harry had Magical Creatures, Harry and Hermione had Potions, Ron and Neville had Herbology. Since Harry was one of the few people who were trying for the Auror's Job he was the only person who have Dueling. Ron said "Wow" we will have load of free time. His Girlfriend added, "We will need it because of the amount of homework that we will be having. This is just as important because this is all preparatory for the NEWTS." Ron was just about to say something when the bell rang and all of them hurried for their classes. As they entered the class they found that Remus was sitting in front of them. Slowly the people from other houses also entered. DADA now was really popular because of the New Rising of the Dark Lord. From the moment Harry entered the class that he had a bad feeling in his stomach. When he sat down. He removed his wand and placed it into his wand holder.
The last person to enter was Blaise Zambini from Slytherin. Just as he took his seat all the tables in front of them vanished and the entire student body in that class were thrown across the length of the classroom. Many of them landed in loud Thuds on the floor. Some like Harry and Ron were able to land on their feet. Of all the people, Harry was the only person who had his wand out and pointed at the Professor. Remus smiled evilly and said "Welcome class to Defense against advanced dark arts. All of you are so gullible. Naive. No one is going to give you prior warning that there is attack. You have to be prepared. CONTANT VIGILANCE. None of you even had their wand out. Except Harry. 10 point to Gryffindor of course. Also 5 point from all those who did not have it out. NOW BACK TO YOUR SEATS." All the students were scared, there was an enraged werewolf in front of them.
As they all took their seats without question. Hermione and Harry lingered over their seats but on sitting. Harry turned and still pointed his wand to Remus "The charms on the chair. They will still throw us if I and Hermione sit." The students were about to jump of the cursed chair when the werewolf grabbed a book from the table, sending a fresh wave of people into the air. Harry and Hermione were the only people left standing by the chairs. Remus then uncursed the chairs, took of more points and pointed the students back to their seats. The feeling in Harry's stomach vanished. He took of his seat. See that the rest of them also took their chairs. Remus first surveyed the class looking into every student's eye and said, "All of you don't know what is class means. This is where you separate the boys from the men. We will turn the sniveling pigs into Men and Women Of course." After giving all of them another spine chilling look "First we are going to study bewitched objects. In charms you will learn how to make them yourself."
He then removed a small gray glass ball on a cushion and placed it on his desk. He was careful not to touch it. The professor started, "This is a standard orb. This has been enchanted to deliver quite a large amount of pain to the person who is holding it. There is also a charm that makes the person hold it unable to release it. This can be and has been done to many people. It is one of the standard displays of power used by Deatheaters. There are many things like this. For the next 2 months we are going to study these kinds of objects then. Go to into Curses and Hexes. Any Questions?" When there were none. He moved the orb onto a high stood in the center of the room and motioned the students to come over.
When the students were leaving the classroom almost most of them had grim faces. They were all given objects that were enchanted using Dark Arts. They had to remove the enchantment without destroying it.
After Lunch Harry and Hermione made their way to the potions dungeon. Now they sat without partners each of them doing potions themselves. Snape entered the class and surveyed them. Then he started "Well all of you have show the aptitude towards potions so you are present in this class. You are that group of elite potion brewers that are capable of brewing potions." Then he looked towards Harry and said "Most of us anyway". Hearing this Draco started snickering at the other end.
Snape choose to ignore this and pointed his wand towards the board and with a wave the instructions appeared. He said, "Now that we have a resident werewolf. We need some Wolfbane potion. Now Start." With that he swept out of the room. He later entered just before the end of call. Many of the students had of course finished their potion. Harry, Hermione, Draco and a few Ravenclaw were left. After they also complete, Snape surveyed all the potions. Then turned to the board and with one wave removed the instructions. He then started to explain the different types of cauldrons make to potions. When the bell rang he said "Now a 5 feet long essay on why Wolfbane is effective on werewolves. Also here are you grades for you potions." as Snape left the class he waved his wand over the board and the text appeared
Harry was in first place for a near perfect potion. Draco and Hermione shared second place. This shocked all the students. Draco had always been in second place because of Mudblood Granger. Now he had Golden boy to cause as well. There are a few steps to be taken. The dark load had personally spoken to him. He said that the new order would soon be in place. His father will be out of Azkaban soon and The Dark Lord had promised to kill the Golden Boy. Draco resolved that he would take the mark and become one of the best Deatheaters ever. He would kill mudblood and weasel, unless they were already dead of course.
Harry was approached that evening my Minerva. She said, "Harry now are you the longest member of the gryffindor team. I believe that you will make a good captain. So do you accept that position?"
Harry looked over to him and said "No. Madam. I cannot because Ron will make a better captain that I am. He has the dedication that is required. He also knows all the rules. He knows strategies that I will never think off."
The lady considered the boy's words for a moment. She did recognize how it hurt him to even give up something that he wanted so much. There was also a good amount of truth in them. Ron who was sitting on the other end of the table with his girlfriend. As he accepted there was a huge explosive cheer from that end of the table. Harry left the table early that day. As he made his way to the common room he heard footsteps running towards him. When Ginny caught up with the boy, his eyes looked like dams ready to burst. But yet he looked at her and smiled. A silent tear fell onto his cheek and made its way down.
Ginny looked at him and asked, "Why did you do it? Why did you turn it down?"
Harry smiled and looked down and said, "It was the right thing to do. He is better that I am at being a captain."
Ginny smiled and tears filled in her eyes also. She replied hoarsely "Dame you Potter. Dame you and principals of doing the right things. You cant you just be like the rest of us. Human sometimes" She kissed him lightly on the cheek and made his way back to the table. Not knowing that her boyfriend had followed her and heard and witnessed it all. That evening there was a party in the Gryffindor tower to celebrate the appointment of Ron as captain. During that was a brief stop when Dean and Ginny had a huge fight and broke up. That just gave a better Ron a better reason to celebrate.
Ron had set up the testing schedule and the practice schedules even before the party started.
