Morning came and Harry got up at the crack of dawn. He put on his clothes and his glasses. He brushed his teeth and tried to brush his untidy jet black hair. He ran quickly down the stairs and waited at the front door. Mr. Weasley was supposed to be there in a few minutes. He opened the front door and dragged his trunk out and his other things to the side walk. He waited for blue car to pull up. He looked left then right. A car drove up from the left. It was Mr. Weasley, Ron, and Hermione.

"Hiya Harry!" Ron said, rolling down the car window.

"Hi Ron!" Harry said, smiling. Harry was glad to hear Ron's voice again. Hermione opened one of the car doors and hopped out.

"Hi Harry." Hermione said, giving him a hug.

"Hi, Hermione." he replied as he hugged her.

"Hey Harry. Let me get your truck into to the car." Mr. Weasley said as he lifted Harry's trunk and put it into the car trunk.

"I bet your Aunt and Uncle don't mind us taking you away from them." Mr. Weasley said in a slightly worried tone.

"No. Actually their kinda glad." Harry said, laughing.

"Oh okay then." Mr. Weasley said as Ron got out of the front seat and put Hedwig's cage there.

"What did you wanna tell me, Harry?" Ron said as he put his arm on Harry's shoulder.

"Its about a girl." Harry said as he blushed slightly.

"A GIRL, HUH?" Ron replied as a sheepish grin crawled onto his lips.

"A girl. Is she nice?" Hermione asked.

"She's really nice." Harry replied.

"Is she cute?" Ron asked.

"Yep."

"I wanna meet her. Is she a Muggle?" Ron asked. Hermione shot him an evil eye.

"Uhhhh...I mean is she a normal person?" Ron said, nervously.

"That's better." Hermione said, crossing her arms.

"No. She's actually a witch." Harry said as Ron and Hermione's eyes widened.

"What school does she go to?" Hermione asked.

"Well, she's transferring to Hogwarts. She went to Beauxbatons before." he replied.

"Then she must be a rich girl." she said as she looked at Harry.

"Come on, kids. We're gonna get into the car." Mr. Weasley said as the three of them got into the back seat. The car drove off toward the Burrow.

"Who is this girl?" Ron asked. He was curious who this girl was and what she looked like.

"Her name is Gabrielle Liu." Harry said as Ron and Hermione gasped.

"What?! Is that a bad thing?!" Harry said, surprised.

"No no no. It isn't." Hermione said as Ron looked at Hermione then at Harry.

"Gabrielle Liu must be the daughter of Gregory Liu." Ron said as Harry had a confused look.

"Gregory Liu is one of the best Aurors." Hermione said as Ron nodded.

"Wow." Harry awed.

"Yeah. Basically she's as famous as you are." Hermione said as Ron grinned.

"Go for her." Ron said, sheepishly.

"Just to warn you, Harry. A lot of things will happen if you two go out." Mr. Weasley said as Ron looked at his father.

"You just butted into our conversation." Ron said as he looked at his father with a pissed look.

"Don't worry, Ron. He had to listen cause he's in the same car. Remember?" Hermione said as Ron sighed.

"Yeah yeah." Ron said, rolling his eyes.



The ride to the Burrow was full of laughter and cheer. Ron talked about how Mrs. Weasley was going crazy because Harry was coming over and how Ginny was running around the house and her face would turn red if some one mentioned Harry's name to her.

"We all missed you." Hermione said, smiling.

"I'm sure of it." Ron said, grinning.

"How are George and Fred doing?" Harry asked.

"Their doing great!" Ron said as he took out a handful of stuff out of his pocket.

"They gave me samples of their products." Ron said as he let out a snicker, "I'll plant them on Malfoy."

"Come on. Even though he's a jerk you can't do that. You don't want to get suspended." Hermione said, pissed.

"Come on!! Lighten up! We're Head boy and girl! It doesn't matter!" Ron said, putting his hand on Hermione's shoulder.

"It still affects us." Hermione said as she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah. Whatever. I'm still gonna do it." Ron said, snickering.

"You in?" Ron asked Harry.

"Hmmm. Yeah." Harry said, snickering with Ron.

"You two better not do it." Hermione said, threatening the two. Harry and Ron looked at each other.

"Alright. We won't." Ron said, sighing.

"You always burst our bubbles." Ron said, shaking his head.

"Whatever." Hermione replied.

They got to the Burrow and they got out of the car.

"Alright. We're here!" Mr. Weasley said as the three got out of the car.

"I'll take your things up Harry. I bet you wanna eat right now." Mr. Weasley said before opening the car trunk. Harry nodded in reply. They went inside. The first person to greet them was Mrs. Weasley. She attacked Harry with a tight hug.

"Hi Mrs. Weasley." he said, gasping for breath.

"Hi Harry!" she said, smiling.

"Can you let go of me now? I'm dying." he said in a raspy voice.

"Oh! Sorry." Mrs. Weasley said letting him go, "Well, I have to get George and Fred out of bed. Can you get Ginny down here for breakfast, Hermione?"

"Sure." Hermione said before she walked up the stairs to Ginny's room.

"Hi Honey." Mrs. Weasley said as Mr. Weasley came into the kitchen. They gave each other a peck on the lips. Mr. Weasley sat down at the table followed by Ron and Harry.

"Mum, when are we gonna go to Diagon Alley?" Ron asked.

"We're going to Diagon alley tomorrow." Mrs. Weasley said as Mr. Weasley gave Harry and Ron their letters. They opened their letters and read their list of books. There was also a letter written in green ink this is what it said:

Dear soon to be wizards and witches,

I am here to inform you that Albus Dumbledore will not join us this year. The Former Headmaster had to leave for personal reasons and will not be able to come back. My name is Rayne Saeyunas. I will be your new Headmistress. Professor Binns will not be joining us either. He has officially left Hogwarts. Rest in Peace, Binns. There will be no History classes until further notice. Professor Lupin will join us once again for Defense against the Dark Arts. Your list of books are attached in this letter. Please review them and I will see all the students in September.

Sincerely,

Headmistress Saeyunas

"Headmaster Dumbledore is gone!" Harry said, surprised.

"But look on the bright side! Professor Lupin is back!" Ron said, happily.

"I guess." Harry replied. Headmaster Dumbledore was really easy on him but now he wonders how this new Headmistress is like. Is she as nice as Dumbledore? Or more strict?

"I heard the news! I can't believe Lupin is back!! But I'm upset that Headmaster Dumbledore is gone!" Hermione said walking into the kitchen followed by Ginny.

"Hi Harry." Ginny said as her cheeks turned red.

"Hi Ginny." Harry replied.

"We're having scrambled eggs and French toast." Mrs. Weasley said, putting plates in front of Ron, Ginny, Hermione, and Harry.

"George!!! FRED!!!" Mrs. Weasley yelled as the twins ran down the stairs.

"We have no time for food, Mum. We're going to the store. We gotta open up!" Fred said as they ran out.

"Urgh. Those twins." Mrs. Weasley muttered. They ate their food. Mr. Weasley threw a few comments about Muggles and their way of life.

"Come on, Harry. Let's go play come Quidditch." Ron said, standing up.

"Sorry Ron. I gotta finish my Astronomy home work first." Harry said, sighing.

"I'll do it for you, Harry. Just go play." Hermione said as Harry and Ron looked at each other dumbfounded.

"Hermione, are you alright?" Ron said, putting his hand on her forehead.

"I'm perfectly fine!" Hermione said, slightly pissed. She slapped Ron's hand out of the way and stood up.

"I kinda feel bad for making Hermione do my homework." Harry said feeling guilty.

"She offered! That's different than making someone do it." Ron said as Harry sighed.

"I don't really feel like playing Quidditch right now." he said walking off toward the small living room. Every time Harry thought about Quidditch, it reminded him of the day Cho Chang chased him around on her broom.



Harry sat down on the couch and looked off into the distance. Ginny and Harry walked into the room. Hermione went upstairs cause she was a little pissed at Ron for acting stupid.

"What's wrong, Harry?" Ginny asked, turning red.

"Oh. Nothing." Harry lied.

"You sure?" she asked, turning redder. Her face was about the color of her red hair.

"Yes." Harry replied.

"Ginny, go help Mum in the kitchen." Ron bossed Ginny.

"But Mum doesn't need help! She has magic remember?" Ginny said, placing her hands on her hips.

"Just leave us alone, Ginny!" Ron said again as Ginny narrowed her eyes then stormed off.

"Sisters." Ron said, rolling his eyes.

"It's okay I guess. I never had siblings so I don't really know." Harry said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Eh. Don't say that Harry." Ron said looking at Harry then around him, "Do you have that girl's address?" It totally slipped Harry's mind. He can send her an owl and tell her that he'll be in Diagon alley tomorrow.

"Ron! Your a genius!!" Harry said, happily.

"I am?" Ron asked, confused.

"What did I say?" Ron said, dumbfounded.

"I can send her an owl." Harry said as he walked toward the stairs.

"Hedwig is in my room." Ron said as they walked upstairs. Ginny was listening to the whole conversation and peered out of the closet.

"Who's she? Does Harry like him?" she asked herself before coming out of the closet.
