Oh, What will the new year bring?
Chapter One-A chat with Remus, the arrivals, and guess what!
Harry Potter has just arrived at Twelve Grimmauld Place, just days after his seventeenth birthday. Sorrowful as he has been for the past year, since Sirius' death. Yes, the infamous Sirius Black has been dead for a little over a year now, though few know of this or his innocence. Only members of the Order and a slim group of Hogwarts students.
Harry enters the house, followed by Tonks and Mad-Eye, Remus meets the three at the door.
"Hello Harry!"
"I doubt y'all get much out of this lump," Tonks replied.
"I'm going to the kitchen," Mad-Eye says.
"I'll join ya Moody," added Tonks cheerfully, today with streaks of neon orange on black hair.
"Harry come into the parlor for a minute, will you?" asked Remus, "We need to have a chat.
"Why? Is there really a point?"
"Yeah, there is!"
"Fine!"
In the parlor, "Harry you don't need to be like this."
"Like what?"
"Do you really think Sirius would want to see you the way you are? Do you really think he wouldn't want to see you smile, or talk more then what was required, by teachers, or the lame remarks to answer simple questions, bloody hell you have barely answered anybody, even Ron and Hermione with more then yes or no answers!"
"So, what! They don't need me! No one needs me but the order and Dumbledore after it's finished, I can go curl up into my own bloody hole and die, for all anyone cares!"
"Harry, you know don't you? Is that why you've been despairing?"
"Yes, No, why not, do you know it?"
"In part, oh Harry, don't despair, be the Harry you were when I first met you, don't be the brooding, reck I've known the past few years!"
"But he's gone Remus, everyones going to be gone because of me!"
"I know Harry, do you think I don't miss him? He was my best friend! The only one I had left!"
"I'm sorry Remus, I haven't thought of anyone elses perspective, I'm sorry, why haven't you been in despair, why have I held onto it all, not letting it out, or anyone in?"
"I have had much despair Harry, I've had to learn to quickly get over it, so I can live, rather then drown."
"That's what I've been doing Remus! Just letting it take over me! I can't do that anymore if I'm going to do it."
"So will Harry emerge from his shell?"
"Yeah, Remus, I'll come out and be a person again."
"Good, good, I'm glad to hear it!" And Harry smiled.
"Thank you Remus, I just needed perspective, I've been selfish, thinking only of my self, I'm sorry, will you forgive me?"
"How could I not forgive my dear friend's son?" And he hugged Harry, who nervously, not sure about such things, timidly hugged back.
"So, has anyone else arrived, yet?"
"No, your the first, Hermione's getting picked up, probably now, and Ron and Ginny, probably tomorrow, from Romania."
"Who's here?"
"Us, Tonks and Mad-Eye, Molly and Charlie, the rest should be arriving soon."
"The rest?"
"Yeah, the others who usually stay here, Bill, and Arthur should be arriving soon with Hermione, Kingley will be with them as well."
"So, Hermione will be here soon, then?"
"Yeah, dinner should be ready soon as well, shall we?"
He nodded and followed Remus out.
"Dum dum dum, we're here to save ickle Harrykins from boredom!" The twins popped in.
"Now, why would he be bored?" asked Molly.
"Because we're not here, plus we want some of your delicious cooking, Mother," Fred answered.
Out in the entrance way, "No, Mr. Weasley, it's a telephone not a felltytone."
"Are you sure?"
"Dad, give the girl a break will you?"
"Sorry, muggle things are just so facinating!"
"We know Dad," Bill replied exasperated.
"Is anyone else here?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, Mum, Remus, Tonks, Mad-Eye, and Harry should probably be here by now."
"Is he really? Do you know how he is this year?"
"Not a clue, have you gotten any letters from him?"
"Yes, cryptic as usual."
"Well, I guess we will all find out, now, won't we?"
"I guess."
The quadruple entered the kitchen. "Hi there, Hermione, how have you been?"
"I've been well, Prof.. Remus."
"Good to hear."
"Hermione dear, how was the trip?"
"Fine, Mrs. Weasley."
"Hello Hermione."
"Hi Harry."
"How are you?"
"Fine, how about you?"
"I'm starting to accepct things."
"Like what?"
"How about we go upstairs?"
"Alright."
Upstairs in his and Ron's room. "So? Are you going to elaborate?" she asked as they settled on his bed.
"Remus talked some sense into me, I've been selfish, blocking everyone out, I'm so sorry Hermione, I'm sorry."
"Harry, it's alright, I understand, you don't really know how to react to such things."
"Have you picked up Psychology?"
"A bit, but I do know you, I have since first year, remember? You've always either bottled it up, lashed out or retreated within, at least since I've known you."
"Well your right."
"Aren't I usually?"
"Of course!"
Silence fell for a moment.
"Did you have a good time with your parents?"
"Yeah, they got all mushy, 'our little girls going to graduate! Oh no!'"
They both laughed. "How about you at the Dursley's?"
He makes a face, "They were overjoyed to finally get rid of me, they threw a bloody party to celebrate!"
"Your kidding!"
"I wish I were."
"Whoa, it's getting late, I should head to bed, Good night, Harry." She hugged him and as before he timidly hugged back.
"Good night Hermy." She threw a pillow at him.
"Don't call me that!"
"Why not, Hermy?"
She laughed, "At least your back."
"Back from where? My self imposed hell?"
"Yes, Harry, your self imposed hell. Good night."
"Good night Hermione," he smiled and she smiled back at him.
Ron and Ginny arrived early that morning, before sunup, so extremely early.
At around ten, Mrs. Weasley went around waking up the teenagers.
"Ron, Harry wake up you have letters, and breakfast," she yelled into the boys room, then proceeded to the girls, "Ginny, Hermione, Letters, and breakfast is ready."
Around ten minutes later they had all trooped down for breakfast.
"Mum, where are the letters from?" inquired Ginny.
"Hogwarts, dear."
"But we already got our letters!" exclaimed Ron.
"Well, open them to see what there about."
She passed out the letters. The four teens opened them. Harry read his and started to choke on his orange juice, stuffing the letter into his pocket at the same time.
"Ah, man, I'm still a Prefect, you've got to be kidding me!" Ron exclaimed.
"What you wanted to be Big-Head boy?" asked Fred.
"NO, I was hoping I was a horrible enough prefect that they'd give away the job, I hate being a prefect!"
"I'm Head Girl!" Hermione exclaimed,and started to dance around, which caused everyone but Harry and the adults, to look at her like she had bloody well lost her mind.
"I'm Quidditich Captain!" Ginny exclamed disbelievingly.
"Congratulations Ginny!" exclaimed Harry, Fred, George, and everyone but Ron, who looked like he was about to pass out.
"Your kidding! I was sure Harry'd get it, he's been on the team since his first year!" Ron exclaimed, for once masking his jealousy.
"What was your letter about, Harry?" inquired Remus.
"I.. I'll tell you later."
"Is it bad, Harry?" asked Hermione.
"No, just a shock, thats all, I... I.. I'll tell you on the train probably, yeah, the train."
"But Harry, that's like three weeks away!"
"You can wait, you'll be fine with it then, I juat have to get used to it, thats all, alright?" -
"Yep, got it, pal."
"Ginny, how'd the O.W.L.S. go?" asked Hermione.
"I got six!"
"Congratulations!" chorused everyone but, the Weasley's who already knew.
"Hey, one better then me sis."
"And the same as us!"
"Not as good as Hermione or big head."
"Who's as good as Hermione, she's the best!" Harry exclaimed.
"Harry you didn't do too shabby yourself, Mr. I'm going to be an Auror."
"Yeah, Harry did well, because he actually listened to all your nagging," Ron quirked.
"Ron!"
"It's alright, Mrs. Weasley."
"Remember when you two dated last year?" Ginny asked laughing.
"Ugh! Don't even remind me, Ginny!"
"Bloody hell was that the worst experience of my life!"
"Ha ha, at least I won the pool." The trio looked up, what in the world was she talking about.
"You guys didn't know did you?"
"No." they chorused, while Harry added, "What did happen last year, besides my brooding solitude?"
They looked at him like he was insane. "I'm kidding, I know what went on, I wasn't completely out of it, though mostly..."
"I won at three days one hundred and eighty six minutes, you lasted four and a half, but I had the highest guess, besides Cho, at a month."
"YAY! She'll be gone this year!"
"Happy are you, Harry?"
"YES! Yay, she'll be gone, she'll be gone!" (Okay I imagined this like Gollum, can anyone else imagine that?)(she'll be gone, my precious!)(Okay sorry I've only seen Return of the King 4 times)(Back to the story)
"I gotta go...do my homework," Ginny said out of no where.
"What's up with her?" asked Harry and Hermione.
"She's been doing that a lot, I think she's writing to someone, Do either of you know if she's still dating Dean?"
"She was dating Dean?" Harry asked.
"You were out of it weren't you?"
"They were making out in the fricken' common room."
"Hermione!"
"Sorry, I think I spent too much time with my American cousin."
"You have a cousin in America?"
"Yeah."
"Are they as stupid as they seem on the telly?"
"A lot of them."
"That's sad."
"Isn't it."
"I want to kill Dean!"
"Uh, Ron, calm down, it'll be alright, if he hurts her then you can kill him."
"Really!?"
"Ron, NO."
"Ah man."
"So, what classes are you guys taking this year?" Hermione asked.
"A... Defense against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Charms, Herbology, and Muggle Studies."
"You dropped Transfiguration!"
"Yeah, McGonagall was ready to kill me."
"Ron, why?"
"I wouldn't think you'd care, Harry." Harry shrugged his shoulders, "What are you taking then, Harry."
"I'm taking Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Advanced Defense of the Dark Arts, Independent study Defense, Herbology, and Remidal Potions, after hours with Snape."
"What? Your not taking Care of Magical Creatures?" Ron asked shocked.
"No, I'm taking it as well. And what are you taking Hermione?" Harry asked.
"I'm taking the Advanced Defense class as well, Harry."
"Cool! What else?"
"Potions, Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology, Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, and Care of Magical Creatures."
"Are you guy's taking enough classes?" Ron complained.
"We'll be fine," Hermione added.
"Yeah, and our Defense class should be interesting."
"Doesn't that class last like a whole day at a time?" Ron asked.
"We'll find out."
Remus entered, "Harry, do you want to tell me?"
"Yeah, guys I'll be right back, I need to talk to Remus."
"Alright, Harry."
"So, what did that letter say?"
"Here," Harry pulled it out of his pocket, and handed it to Remus.
Remus read it, "Congratulations Harry! Why don't you want them to know?"
"It's wierd, I wasn't a prefect! And I've broken just about every rule in the book!"
"So did James, he was Head Boy as well, despite the fact I was the Prefect. Harry, Head Boy's arent' usually picked beacuse they follow the rules, there chosen because there fellow students look up to them, that in an emergency, if there is one, they will come through in keeping calm and keeping there fellow students calm, you can do that, Harry, you've shown you can be a leader and people will follow you, you've shown that through the DA."
"Thanks Remus, maybe I can do this."
"I know you can, especially if one of Hogwarts most infamous trouble makers can, I don't know what the deal with Percy was, actually wasn't much to choose from his year, if thats what you were thinking the ideal Head Boy was."
"It is, thanks Remus."
"Your welcome, Harry."
The rest of summer beak passed by, with the trio and Ginny just enjoying there time before starting a new year.
The trio was brought to the station in a ministry car, along with Ginny, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Mad-Eye, Tonks, and Remus.
They said there good byes and had there hugs, when Remus pulled Harry aside, "Now, don't worry, you'll do fine."
"Thanks Remus, bye." The older man hugged him and he hugged back.
"You coming, Harry?" called Ron, through a window.
"Of course I am!"
The train started to pull away, "Well, I guess I'll head up to the Prefect compartment, I wonder who's Head Boy, you coming, Ron?"
"Where'd Harry go? Prefects don't have to be up there for another ten minutes you know."
"Alright, see you there."
Hermione entered the compartment, "Are you the Head Boy?" she asked the person looking out the window, with there back to the door.
"Yeah," and he answered and turned around in one motion.
"Harry!"
"Yeah, can you believe it?"
"I'm glad it's you!"
"And not who?"
"Anyone else."
"Was I the longshot?"
You could say so. Did you read," she was cut off.
"The manual, of course I did, have to be at least somewhat prepared."
"So, is that why you practically choked on your breakfast that day?"
"Yes!"
"I was wondering why, then you hid your letter, does anyone know?"
"Remus."
"Can you imagine the look on Ron or Malfoy's face, when they see your the New Head Boy?"
"I bet it'll be shock on Ron, and Malfoy, he'll just scowl, hey at least he's not a Prefect anymore."
"That's was a huge relief last year."
"I know it was for you, and I didn't half to put up with him in meetings anymore."
"So?"
"So? What? Are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be." as the first of the Prefects entered.
"Hello, Harry, Hermione."
"How are you, Luna?"
"Oh had a faboulous time scouting out snortcrats."
"Really, must have been."
"BLOODY HELL!" Ron entered the compartment following about ten others.
"What's the matter, Ron?"
"YOUR HEAD BOY?!"
Last time I checked, I was."
"Bloody Awesome."
"Yeah, shall we get the meeting started, Hermione?"
"Of course."
The meeting went smoothly and everyone went on there ways, ready to do there duties in there appointed slots.
