Disclaimer- J.K Rowling is the smartest woman alive. She would probably be appalled if she read this melodramatic crap. I hope that this doesn't put ideas in any of your heads about what might happen in future HP books because I KNOW NOTHING!!! I don't own any of the characters either... This whole thing is therapy (because I was upset over the character she killed off) I'm just posting it because people told me to…
Earlier than Harry would have liked, he heard the voice of Mrs. Weasley waking them up to go to Hogwarts. Ron, Harry and Hermione looked at each other. Hermione and Harry especially because they were up most of the night doing their defense against the dark arts homework and talking.
Hermione went downstairs first. Ron pulled Harry aside. "Harry, I need you to help me. I didn't do any of my homework" he told Harry desperately. Harry thought deeply. It was the first time that he willingly did his homework and did an amazing job on it. He had a sense of pride that they were all of at least Exceeds Expectations quality. Ron was flirting and playing Quiddich all summer. Hermione was in pain and Harry for the most part, calmed her down alone. He felt like the homework they did together was between them. Then he thought, oh well, Ron is my best friend and he will be priceless on the Quiddich field this season. "OK, sure" Harry said "OK sure, just don't tell Hermione"
Ron gave a grateful smile. "Don't worry, I won't"
They went to Hogwarts by the knight bus (to Ron's great displeasure) accompanied by Fred, George, Mr. and Mrs Weasley and Lupin. They were actually on time which pleased Mrs. Weasley a great deal.
"Look Ern, it's 'arry Potter" Stan Stunpike said very loudly so probably the whole street can hear. " 'ow are you 'arry?"
"Fine thanks" Harry replied as he pulled his luggage and hedwig's cage on the bus. They got to the back of the bus. Harry snuck his collection of transfiguration, charms, herbology, and care of magical creatures homework to Ron who mouthed a thank you and talked to Hermione the rest of the way to distract her from what Ron is doing. The bus ride was only ten minutes long owing to the fact that they didn't live too far from king's cross station. He bid Stan and Ern a good-bye "and hopefully a good riddance" he said quietly to Ron who agreed with a nod.
Mrs. Weasley helped Ginny and Cara with their trunks. Cara put her rare breaded purple owl named Gracie with the others extra carefully and then affectionately stroking it. Meanwhile, Mrs. Weasley was fussing over whether Ginny and Ron put on their sweaters because it was quite cold on the Hogwarts express. Hermione discovered that Ron was copying the homework but didn't do anything but roll her eyes and gave Harry a playful punch in the shoulder.
"Watch over our ickle Ronnie for us" he heard Fred say to Cara giving her a high five. "Yeah" George continued "I never knew that the only thing he needed was a girl to show off in front of to turn him into Oliver Wood!"
Ron's face then turned the color of his hair. Ginny grabbed Cara's hand, noticing that Ron was dying, looked her older twin brothers square in the eye and said "You watch out boys, or she'll take you on!"
After bidding Lupin and Ron's parents good-bye, they were off to Hogwarts.
Harry and Cara waited the half hour outside the prefect's compartment while Cara filled him in on what she Ginny and Ron had come up with. Harry was amazed. "Wow, I never knew Ron was willing to get up in front of the whole school and do broomstick formations." Harry told her "It's not like it's cheerleading or anything like that" she explained "It's to build up the spirit and morale of the school. I thought it was a fun way to keep our heads up through these dark times. Just like your DA group last year?"
"I haven't seen you at them though" Harry told Cara.
Cara nodded. my dad found out that Delores Umbridge was going to be teaching at the school this year. They, well... really do not get along. In fact, they had been enemies since they both started working in the ministries. She managed to get him fired as an auror, so he turned to Dumbledore to work with the Order. Then he arranged to have me study with his my grandfather. He got twelve outstanding OWLs and twelve perfect NEWTs. I passed all the fourth year finals with his help. I'm glad I'm back at Hogwarts though. I missed everyone a lot."
Harry smiled. "I could imagine"
At that moment Hermione, Ginny and Ron came outside the compartment. Neville Longbottom also came out of his compartment with Luna Lovegood, Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan. He turned around right away For as soon as Draco joined by Crabbe and Goyle saw that there were no adults in sight, he immediately went chasing down Neville Longbottom. Harry was about to interfere on Malfoy's coward-like beat down, but a beautiful noise interrupted and Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle were running from the compartment screaming their heads off in pain.
Harry, Ginny, Ron Hermione and Cara entered the compartment. "What is that?" Harry asked Neville looking at an interesting looking plant. "It's a phoenix plant. My uncle Algae gave it to me. It strikes fear into your attackers and sings the most beautiful music attempting to cheer up it's owner and make them braver. Uncle Algae told me that I will need to be braver especially this year." Neville told them. Harry then noticed as he got a better look at Neville. He had two welts across his left cheek. "How did you get that Neville" Harry asked casually Neville looked horrified as everyone in the compartment (except Luna who was in her own little world) stared at him. There was a very awkward silence. Harry regretted asking him immediately.
"I um.... tripped over gran's hat" he answered feebly.
"I tripped over a Crumple-horned Snorkack" he heard Luna say in her dreamy voice. " They're bigger than hats. I didn't a bruise like THAT!" Luna still didn't peer over her magazine.
"OK" Harry said pretending to believe him so everyone else would too.
The compartment was crowded, but the nine of them in it didn't seem to mind at all. Ginny was sitting on Dean's lap, Ron was copying Harry's homework in his own words, Cara was expressing her ideas to everyone about the half-time show, all were very excited. Dean, who could draw, was expressing the ideas of the banners he could make. Neville and Seamus also thought it was a great idea, and seemed eager to join too. As Cara told them about the image charms that Fred and George taught her and Ginny how to do this summer, Hermione asked Harry into a different compartment for a moment.
"Professor Dumbledore wrote me a letter which reached me this morning at breakfast. They have it arranged for me to visit my parents next Sunday at St. Mungo's. I... um... can't... um... do it alone." Hermione said awkwardly.
Harry nodded realizing what she was going to ask him next. "This is a silly little favor that would mean a whole lot to me." she continued "Would you please come for moral support?"
"Of course, Hermione" he said giving her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. The train rattle for a moment and the lights went out for a moment. When Harry opened the curtains to the compartment, he found that Cara had fallen onto Ron. He was helping her back into her seat looking very pleased indeed. Harry had bought a huge pile of chocolate frogs from the trolley as it made it's second round. All of them seemed to enjoy the rest of their journey to Hogwarts very much. He saw the castle come into view as he wondered what kind of crazy adventures will he have to deal with this year.
