Chapter 5

"Well I have appointed an old friend of mine as the new DADA teacher I hope you will have no objections to her teaching. Her name is Fleur Declaour (sorry about the misspelling) and she will teach you for the rest of the year. She is only here for a year because she is just getting some work experience. Also Rem… I mean Professor Lupin will be your potion teacher as Professor Snape has been murdered by Lord Voldermort.

Harry felt a pang of sorrow for the murdering of Professor Snape even though he had made Harry's life hell ever since he had started at school

"Yea that's fine with me" answered Harry

"Fine with me" said Hermione

"Also as you know you two will be sleeping in the same dormitory and you things have been sent there. It is located on the 5th floor and it is behind the memorial picture of James and Lily Potter. The password is quidditch".

Harry choked back tears as Professor Dumbledore said his parents' names. At least there was the bonus of seeing his parents' everyday (even if it was just in a picture).

"I am hoping that you two will be studying hard for your NEWTS to get into your respective occupations. What was it that you two wanted to get into?"

"I want to be an Auror" answered Harry

"A St Mungo's Healer is the job for me" answered Hermione

"Well you two have quite a year ahead of you if you want to get those jobs. Know run along to your dormitory and get ready for your first day on Monday".

With that he ushered Harry and Hermione out of his office so that they could get to their dormitory. Harry and Hermione talked about all the stuff they were going to do to the school to make it seem easier for all students to live in as they walked down the corridors to their dormitory. Harry was astounded to see that his mum and dad were actually in Hogwarts in a memorial picture. Professor Dumbledore must have put it up this year just for Harry.

"Have you seen this picture before Hermione?" asked Harry

"Yea loads of times we always walked past it to go to Care of magical Creatures, to dinner and to potions" answered Hermione.

"Oh, well I never noticed it" said Harry shrugging his shoulders in disregard but really inside he was burning up. He had, had his parents' picture in Hogwarts all this time and never known. When Hermione muttered the password and the picture swung open to admit them through Harry was astounded at the luxury in the head boy's and girl's common room. Everything was plush and they even had a direct link to Professor Dumbledore's office. That meant that he didn't have to run up to the headmasters' office every time he had a problem and have to guess the password all the time. When Harry climbed the stairs up he found that there were only two doors one which said Harry Potter Head Boy of Hogwarts and the other said Hermione Granger Head Girl of Hogwarts. When he opened his door he found that his bedroom was as big as the boys' dormitory when he had shared the room with Ron, Seamus and Neville. But this time he had all the room to himself and the ground was not covered with stone but covered with a squishy carpet.

Hermione was checking out her bedroom to. It was the same size as Harry's room with all the same things (except for her belongings). Hermione thought "this is the perfect place to shag Harry……..what am I thinking that's going a bit to fast but still I can't get over that incident in the Hogwarts Express compartment".

Harry had finished unpacking 15 minutes later and had but on a pair of boxers and a plain white shirt to sleep in. after he had changed he went into Hermione's room to see what she was doing. She had just finished changing and was getting into bed. Harry whispered

"Are you going to bed so soon?"

"Yea I have to get up tomorrow unli… hey wait a minute you're the Head Boy so you have to get up at the same time as me. Also we have to patrol the corridors at 9:30pm to make sure all the students are in their common rooms but since it is the first day back we don't have to".

"Well you'll have to work me up if you think that I will wake up at the same time as you"

"That's what I was going to do" said Hermione under her breath

With that Harry went back into his bed and fell into a deep sleep.

"Harry wake up" said a voice that sounded like a hundred angels singing.

Harry opened one bleary eye to see what looked like the goddess of love standing in front of him. Then he opened the other eye and put on his glasses to see Hermione standing in front of him waiting for him to get up.

"What time is it 'Mione?" asked Harry

"It is time to get up" answered Hermione

"Ok, ok. I am getting up" answered Harry.

Harry rose and started to get changed.

"Ummm…… can you turn around 'Mione?" enquired Harry

"S-sorry Harry"

Hermione quickly walked out of the room. As Hermione walked out of the room she though of the muscles she got a glimpse of while she was staring at Harry. Harry was no longer a scrawny little boy. He was now a fully toned athlete. As Harry walked out her knees turned to jelly. She started to think "How can my best friend make me feel like this"

Harry saw Hermione staring at him and enquired "is something wrong Hermione?"

"Pardon… Oh…I am so sorry was I staring at you? Sorry Harry"

"Nah it's ok"

As they walked down to the Great Hall they found Professor Dumbledore beckoning them towards him. So Harry and Hermione walked over to him. Professor Dumbledore told them "I need you to meet with the other prefects after breakfast; I hope this doesn't annoy you two. I daresay you will find a good place to have the meeting"

Harry knew that what Professor Dumbledore meant was to meet in the Room-of-Requirements. They had used this secret room two years ago to practice DADA under the nose of a ministry representative.

"Nah it ok. Isn't it Hermione?"

"Yea it is fine with me"

"Well that's good. I will see you at breakfast" said Professor Dumbledore as he walked of to breakfast

After they had, had breakfast they called all the prefects in and Harry whispered to Hermione "there are to many for us to just go up in this big horde so we will split up ok?'

Yea ok Harry"

Harry then addressed the prefects and said "ok half of you will go with me and the other half will go with Hermione".

All the girls from the prefects squealed with delight as they all went over to Harry's side. Hermione caught a glimpse of Harry rolling her eyes at her. She had a slight giggle to herself.
