Chapter 6 Return to Hogwarts
At 7:30 in the morning, Harry was really tired and sore from the full moon romp last night. He quickly threw his things in his trunk and grabbed his wand which he put it in his new wand holster on his belt loop.
Petunia said, "Harry, Remus, and Sirius, we're going to be late, so you all better get in here now."
Harry lugged his trunk into the living room and then went in kitchen. Remus and Sirius were also looking as tired as Harry.
Petunia said as handing them some toast and hot cocoa in travel mugs, "Take your breakfast with you out to the cab."
The four of them got into the cab with their stuff in the trunk. The drive to Kings Cross station was a quiet one which Harry, Remus, and Sirius were thankful for; they got there at 10:00.
Remus asked, "Harry and Sirius, would you like anything to eat?"
Harry and Sirius said, "Yes, please."
Harry said, "I'll come with you."
Harry and Remus went to the concession stand. Harry said, "We would like 4 breakfast burritos and 4 chocolate shakes."
Harry paid for them, and they walked back to Petunia.
Harry said, "Aunt Petunia, I bought you a chocolate shake and a breakfast burrito."
Petunia said after taking sip of her shake and taking a bite of her burrito, "Thanks Harry. I guess I was hungry after all since I only had a small piece of chicken and beans."
Remus ran through the barrier of Platform 9 ¾ then Petunia did the same thing. Harry ran through the barrier with Sirius in his dog form, and they went into the compartment with Remus and Petunia.
Neville came in and said, "Hi Harry. Do you mind if I sit here?"
Harry said tiredly, "No problem, Neville. Did you get a new wand?"
Neville said, "Yes, I got a new wand. I also got a cage for Trevor, so I don't lose him anymore."
Harry said, "That's good."
Hermione, Ron, and Ginny came in to the compartment and sat down.
Ron said, "Hey mate!"
Hermione said, "Hi Harry."
Ginny said, "Hello Harry."
Ron said, "Harry, guess what?"
Harry said after yawning, "Hermione made SPEW public."
Ron said, "No silly, my dad is the Minister of Magic."
Harry said yawning, "Congratulations Ron and Ginny!"
Ginny said, "We both and Hermione got Firebolts for Quiditch. She's really good Beater."
Harry said, "Hermione, I thought you did not like to play Quiditch."
Hermione said, "I didn't, but now I do. I play tennis at a club by my house during the summer, so I decided to try to playing Beater. I was unstoppable, and I'm going to tryout for the team."
Harry said yawning, "That's good. I'm the captain."
Ginny said, "Yesterday, we went to a ball. We stayed up until midnight."
Harry said yawning, "Sounds like you had a blast."
Ron said, "You tired, Harry? You've been yawning nonstop."
Harry said after yawning, "Yes. I've been having nightmares about attacks from Voldemort."
Hermione said sweetly, "You can go to sleep for the rest of the ride to Hogwarts if you want to. I was also going to take a nap. Ron and Ginny, you should take a nap too. We're up until midnight at the party; we don't want to be at Hogwarts looking so tired."
Harry fell asleep, so did Ron, Ginny, and Hermione. They slept until the loud speaker woke them telling them that they would be arriving at Hogwarts shortly. Ron, Harry, and Hermione got in the carriage and rode to Hogwarts. They sat down at the Gryffindor table.
Professor McGongal brought out the Sorting Hat. The Sorting Hat song:
"The war between the Light and Dark has started.
We have to work together
And put aside our judgments about people and creatures.
Gryffindor is for the brave
While Slytherin is for the cunning.
Ravenclaw is for the smart
While Hufflepuff is for the loyal.
Prof. McGongal said, "Abot, Ellen.
Ellen become Hufflepuff. Dan Coalson become a Gryffindor.
Prof. McGongal said, "Evans, Mark."
The hat called out, "Gryffindor."
The rest of the sorting Harry did not pay attention to.
Prof. Dumbledore said, "We have 3 new teachers and one old one. Prof. Lupin is going to be the DADA teacher. Prof. Black is assisting him with DADA for the days that he can't teach. Hailey Grassford is the assistant Potions teacher. Finally the last new teacher is Prof. Evans who is teaching Muggle Studies. Tuck in."
Harry ate his Shepard pie. Mark Evans a brown hair kid with green eyes came up to Harry.
Mark said, "Hi Harry."
Harry said, "Hi Mark. My mum's and aunt Petunia's maiden name is Evans. Her name is Lily Potter, but she was killed by Voldemort."
Mark said, "She was my dad's cousin, so I am your second cousin."
Prof. Dumbledore said, "I would like to remind everyone to stay away from the Whomping Willow. All of the Weasely Wizarding Wheezes are banned. The Forbidden Forest is forbidden. Now off to bed."
Harry went up to the Gryffindor common room.
Harry said, "Night Ron, Ginny, and Hermione."
Harry went to his dorm. He cleared his mind first. Harry went to sleep for the night.
