--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry went with Hermione to meet up with her parents at the ice cream shop. While everyone else went to the book shop. Hermione's parents are muggles, so they were literally thrilled when Harry asked if it wasn't a problem to stop in Gringots for a moment. They had wanted to go into the wizarding bank since they found out about there young daughter but had no need in going. They ewwwed and owwed over the vast goblins rushing about. Harry approached an un-busy goblin and handed him a small golden key and told him his vault number.
The goblin grunted and looked around at the bunch before saying, "Follow me". They rode a small trolley down a dark passage way, far below the earth's surface. They zoomed this way and that was, continuing further into the earth. Finally they came to a stop in front of a large moss covered vault door; the goblin placed the key in the hole and turned. The doors swung open revealing the mounds of gold Harry's parents left him. Harry grabbed a small handful and placed it quickly in his pocket, a moment later they were back in the trolley heading for the surface.
By the time they meat up with they Weaslys they had already purchased there books, so they decided to go to the ice cream shop and wait for them. Harry and Hermione rushed to find there books. After they meet up with the rest at the shop, the students left the Grangers and the Weaslys there and set off to the quill and parchment store. Once out of the adult's site they headed straight for Fred and George's joke shop. Locating the shop was easier then they thought, for there was a mass of people lined up out side of the shop waiting in patiently to get in.
After managing to squeeze there way in they all stood jaws dropped at the shelves upon shelves of different practical jokes. They continued pushing threw the mob until they reached Fred and George, who stood behind a counter attempting to ring out the line of customers. The twins noticed the familiar bunch and smiled at them. Fred came from behind the counter and meet up with Ron. Fred whispered in Ron's ear. "10% discount to you guys" Ron gave his elder brother a glare in disbelief as he thought to himself [10%!? geeze a crummy 10%] but he was soon being pushed out of the way by other customers along with the rest of the group as Fred returned to his position behind the counter.
Harry was to anxious to get to the Quittage shop to purchase anything from the twins, but Ron bought half a dozen puke sticks and ton tongue taffies. Hermione bought a fake wad as a joke for her parents, and Ginny bought some nose bleed gum. After leaving they decided it would be better to go buy there quills and ink before going any where else so the adults wouldn't question there whereabouts. Each of them purchased tree rolls of parchment and a new quill, plus a few ink wells.
By the time they reached the quittage shop it had filled up with eager browsers. Harry noticed that a firebolt was still in the display window, remaining the newest and fastest broom out there. Harry purchased a container of wax for his broom kit, while admiring the posters of quittage teams around the world. They soon left Diagon Alley after meeting up with the Weaslys and the Grangers, with all of the things listed in there Hogwarts letters.
What seemed like yesterday to Harry, He was being trained by Esmerelda, now he was walking casually threw a brick wall to get to platform nine and three quarters. Harry and Ginny found an empty compartment and stored there trunks. Ron and Hermione said there good byes and went to find the prefects compartment. 'Looney' Luna came in and joined there compartment followed by Nevil Longbottom.
Soon Nevil was in deep conversation with Harry about what courses he had chosen. Luna sat reading the Quibbler (her father is the editor of the quibbler. Also since she is a year younger like Ginny they can not choose there courses yet.) Harry glanced up at the door way as Choo passed by, there eyes meet and both smiled at one another, as Choo continued walking by. Nevil told Harry how he wanted to take dueling but his grandmother wouldn't allow him but he signed up anyway and got in.
"She was furious, I'm glad there were no required books for the subject because she refused to buy me any if there were." He continued naming every course he took, with a little excitement when he came to Herbology. Harry didn't have the heart to tell him he didn't sign up for the class but at that moment the food trolley stopped in front of there compartment.
Harry declined on buying anything; Ginny looked confused glancing over at Harry as she bought a chocolate frog. Ginny asked if he was feeling alright, for Harry usually bought quite a bit every time. He said he was fine as he looked out the window as he pondered what it would be like to be an Aura. After a while he snapped back into reality, he looked around the compartment. Ginny was admiring her new card she got from the chocolate frog, Nevil was busy trying to catch his toad and Luna was peering over her magazine at him.
For the remainder of the ride, Harry watched the land go by out the window. Once the train stopped, the first years were ushered by Hagrid and boarded boats while everyone else rode on horseless wagons.(actually they were pulled by a great black winged horses that only people who has seen death can see. Out of there small group only Harry and Luna could see them.)
After entering the castle they were crowded into the great hall. Four tables, one for each house, Slytherine, Griffendor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuf. The first years came in and were sorted by the sorting hat into houses. The feast was long and exciting for the older students and entertaining as ghosts scared the first years. Harry and Hermione were excited about the next day, they would receive there class schedules, Ron thought they were both mad, but sat wondering who the new DADA teacher would be.
They retired to there dormitories, their belongings were already awaiting them. Harry checked his trunk before releasing Hedwig from her cage and then placing the cage in the corner of the room. Harry quickly fell asleep. Harry was the first to awake in the boy's dormitory; he sat in his bed for a few moments wondering why he woke up and was now wide awake for some reason. Harry got up and got dressed, then headed down to the griffendor common room. Harry sat down on one of the plush arm chairs by the fire place, about five minutes later Hermione came down from the girl's dormitory, with a book under her arm. She sat down in one of the other chairs beside Harry. "Why are you up so early?" Harry didn't know why he had awoken so early so he just told the partial truth. "Couldn't fall back to sleep." For some reason he had to be up but he didn't want to tell her that.
At that moment a brightly colored owl flew in from an open window, dropping another blank parchment in his lap. Hermione had been very suspicious of Harry since he was uneasy about telling them about his summer and then the appearance of another un-crack-able magic blank parchment, which only Harry seemed to either, understand or didn't even care about. Harry didn't bother to try to hide the parchment from Hermione, for she saw the bird drop it. Harry placed his hand on the blank scrap of paper and got a surprise.
It was Dumbledor. {Harry, I know Esmerelda told you to take Potions, that's why you took it but you must not aggravate Professor Snape. Don't use anything NEW in his class, he will know. The ministry has agreed for you to take the Aura tests over the holiday and a week during school before the holidays, they have not informed me of when the week during school will be yet, but you need to catch up on your reading before it takes place. I Have the required reading for you, you can pick them up today at the end of DADA. As you may have been wondering, I have not yet filled the position for a new DADA teacher, so I will be teaching for the first part of the term, until I can find a proper replacement. See you soon -Dumbledor}
Harry was literally happy that Dumbledor was going to be the new DADA teacher, but not as much as the chance to actually becoming an Aura. Hermione noticed Harry's face beaming but didn't have enough time to question him about it because students began swarming out of the Dormitories. They meet up with Ron and went down to the great hall for breakfast. Professor McGonagall passed out there Schedules. Since they were in N.E.W.T.s level they only had two classes each day. But each class was as long as almost three of the previous year's classes.

As the three of them looked over there schedules, Hermione and Ron got existed seeing Dumbledor being there DADA teacher. But the glee was soon diminished at the site of Snape teaching Dueling. All three of them left the Great Hall memorizing there schedules. They entered the DADA room only to be hit with the reality at what stood before them, Slytherines. None of them noticed the words after Dumbledors name, those crucial words that decide if a class is bearable or not. They took seats in the back, trying to sit the farthest away from Malfoy and his goons. Harry read Malfoys mind. [Great another year with Saint Potter and his mudblood ..] Harry stopped, he didn't need to read his mind to know what he was thinking. He wore the look of hatred on his face, for Harry got Malfoys father, among other Wizards arrested and jailed for being deatheaters.
Dumbledor explained to the class that he would be teaching for the time being, until a proper replacement can be found. They spent the next three hours reviewing and practicing hexes and curses and there defensive spells. Harry completed with a powerful punch all of the spells on the list on Ron within the first ten minutes. Harry sat observing Ron attempt to complete the list on Hermione, half of them came out incorrectly but Miss Granger instructed him the correct way to do it. By the time Ron had finished the list Hermione had been turned liquid instead of vomiting and sprouted roots instead of extra growth hair.
When it came turn for Hermione to practice the spells she turned to Ron. He protested, that he had already went threw it and it was Harry's turn. Harry's stomach rose, as thoughts went through his head, [those minor spells wont effect me, she can shot them all at once at me and not even a sup bubble would appear because I would just channel it] (Harry had practiced his channeling so often during his training that it was second nature to him, he didn't even have to think about it and it happened) Hermione raised her wand, as Harry stood in deep thought, if he concentrated enough possible he could prevent the channeling.
Before Hermione could say the first hex Harry went pale and started wavering was he stood. "Are you all right Harry? You don't look to good." Harry hadn't notice his un-balanced posture due to the difficult concentrating. "What? Oh I'm fine, just hurry up." Hermione looked at him uncertainly then began going down the list of spells. She finished quickly with out a hitch, but to Harry it wasn't fast enough. Harry stopped concentrating and sat down in the nearest chair, within moments he regained his normal face color. "Are you sure your all right you didn't look to good." Harry reassured them that he was fine and that he just felt slightly ill and that it would pass.
He looked up at Dumbledor who seemed pleased. The bell rang and everyone exited the room except Harry who assured his friends that he would catch up with them in a few minutes. Harry meet Dumbledor at his desk, for any one that passed the room they could only see Dumbledor and Mr. Potter standing there for a long time in the quiet room staring at each other. There minds were linked as they continued a conversation.
{'Very good Harry, I passed out the first time I attempted to stop channeling, with more practice it will become more natural, you will need to use that technique carefully in the Dueling class you have Thursday, Mr. Snape is already suspicious of you power. A little too suspicious. You shouldn't do anything to obvious either in any class. The reason Esmerelda thought you need Dueling, was to quicken your casting rate. Let me warn you ahead of time, everyone in the Dueling class will take a final, thus meaning you will have to duel Professor Snape.' 'Duel him? But.' 'Don't worry you will be exempt from the final, we don't want any one firing out about us now do we. Now down to business, these books are a few you will need to read for the testing.'} Dumbledor picked up a large stack of books and handed them to Harry. The stack of books was half the size of Harry, He looked at them in confusion. {'A few?' 'Here is a hint, write to Esmerelda and find out how to conserve time, you'll have these books read in less then 30 seconds' 'But how?'}
Dumbledor only winked at him and spoke to Harry. "Off you go." Harry carefully balanced the books in his arms and walked out of the room. He quickly walked to the griffendor towers. He stored the books in the bottom of his trunk and picked up a small piece of parchment. He sat on his bed and opened his mind to the blank paper that lay in his hand. {Esmerelda, I was told to ask you about 'How to conserve time' can you help? oh, crap I forgot to say hello. Woops, any way hello, well got to go -Harry} Harry quickly rolled up the parchment and tied it with a small piece of twin. Harry left the tower and headed for the owlery(sp?). Harry stepped around several hundred barn owls until he found Hedgwig sitting on a perch near the window. Harry communicated with his mind to Hedgwig, {Esmerelda} Hedgwig was out the wind as soon as the twin was tied to her foot.
Harry left the owlery and met up with Ron and Hermione in the great hall. "What took you so long?" Hermione questioned. "I had to stop in the library to pick up a book on dueling, I herd you have to face Snape at the end of the term." Harry tried to sound normal. "I'm glad I didn't take that course." Hermione's words mad Ron cringe a second time. "Well I'm just glad we don't have it until Thursday." Ron gave an uneasy grin. Harry grabbed a quick sandwich before the three of them headed across the grounds to Hagrid's hut.

Grrrrrrr *grabs hair and starts pulling it out* I know I need proof reading and spell checking and anything else that pertains to the English writing!!! -whoo sorry there forgot to take my meds. I never was one for writing proper, just trying to get my ideas out hope at least someone out there enjoys them. I've had the whole thing written for a few months now but never got around to typing it. Word to the wise, don't write it on paper, just start typing it. It will save you a lot of aggravation. LOL Enough rambling I'll try to keep um coming.
