Chapter 1- Welcoming Feast
A few days after that moment, it was time to head to Hogwarts. The three of them accompanied by Mr. Weasley, headed for the King's Cross. Harry wasn't as thrilled to return as he usually was.
Finally, they reached Platform 9 ¾. Harry and Ron proceeded through the brick wall. Even though he has been doing this fro five years now, Harry still couldn't manage to pass through the wall without landing on the floor. Ginny and Hermione followed.
Once they got everything together, they got on the Hogwarts Express. They found an empty compartment and the train was off. Harry didn't know what was going on. He was once again thinking about his godfather's death and how he could have saved him. Soon enough, Harry fell asleep.
"Harry! Wake up! We are here!" yelled Ron into his ear.
Harry woke up startled and grabbed his stuff as quick as he could. He got off the train and heard the familiar voice of Hagrid collecting all the first years for the trip across the lake.
"Alright, now. Hope yeh all had a nice trip on yeh way here. Now, yeh bett'r get yeh stuff on the boat. Dun want ter leave anything behind," yelled Hagrid.
Harry waved to him, but Hagrid didn't notice. Harry trudged up the steps to Hogwarts in the heavy rain.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione headed to the Great Hall for the Welcoming Feast. They took their usual seats and waited for the first years to arrive.
The sorting went by quickly and Harry didn't even notice. He was drowned in his own thoughts. Harry even missed Dumbledore's welcoming speech. He was disappointed, but thought, "Hermione will fill me in later."
The feast began and it was what he had dreamed. The food was wonderful!
"Blomey, I haben eaten li thish in a lang tom" said Ron with his mouth full of roast beef.
Soon the feast was over and everyone walked out of the hall crouching over their stomachs. Harry, Ron, and Hermoione headed toward Gryffindor Tower. Professor Mcgonagall was there telling each student the new password. It was "Nose-Biting Teacup." Harry remembered buying some of those when he snuck into Hogsmeade in his third year.
As he thought of Hogsmeade, he remembered Sirius and the Shrieking Shack. Everything came back to him at that moment. Harry felt miserable again. He sat down on his favorite chair by the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room. Hermione noticed and whisphered to Ron. She told him to keep him company. Hermione and Ron sat beside him. The three sat there silently while everyone else headed to their dormitories.
