Harry Potter was in a particularly woke up in a particularly strange mood, he couldn't describe it, that's what made it particularly strange. Usually he woke up feeling miserable and did not want to talk to those he shared his dorm room with, Ron Weasly, Dean Thomas, Neville Longbottom and Seamus Finnegan. This morning though he found that hearing the others rustling around preparing for their first full day of the term he couldn't help but smile.

The others noticed this and stared at him.

"What?" Harry asked them.

"You're smiling," Replied Ron his best friend.

"Yeah, So?" another question.

"You never smile in the morning," this time it was Neville Longbottom who answered.

"Yeah, you're more likely to toss the closest book that you can get your hands on at the first one of us to make a noise and then tell us to go sod ourselves," continued Seamus.

"Well fuck you very much," said Harry, "I just happened to realize that I missed you lot of wankers over the summer!"

"So you mean you may actually start to be civil in the mornings instead of the horses patoot you normally are?" asked Dean.

"Oh, for the first week or so," he answered truthfully.

Harry then rose from his bed and began to ready himself for his first day of class.

Harry, Ron and Hermione reached out and took their schedules form Pro. McGonagal, "Wouldn't you know it," Commented Hermione, "Double potions and double defense against the dark arts today."

"So who's teaching DADA this year have you heard?" asked Ron.

"No and Dumbledore didn't mention it in his welcoming speech last night either," replied Hermione.

Just then the charm rang announcing the start of the days first class, for Harry, Ron and Hermione and most Gryffendors that was Potions.
