Chapter Seven, Hogwarts Again
Lupin took Harry and Mr. Weasley outside and Lupin grabbed a hold of Harry's hand. Then POP! They had apperated to a small muggle home. Soon, Harry regonized it. "Professor Lupin, what are we doing at the Dursley's? Is something wrong?"
"Yes Harry, something is wrong. All there muggles around us can not see it, but look skyward." Harry raised his head and saw it. A skull gleamed back at him, glowing green and eerie.
"Professor Lupin, you don't mean here, and now? I mean I was just here."
"Yes Harry, all of them, they're dead. It was lucky you left when you did because your body would be laying next to theirs." His voice was saddened and tired.
Now the Dursleys were gone. They and Harry never got along, sending him coat hangers and spare change for his birthdays, however Harry still felt sadness. After all, they were family.
"Come on Harry, let's go home. You need to get packed for when you leave for Hogwarts tomorrow. We should stop at Diagon Alley on the way back too. How 'bout it Remus?" Mr. Weasley said calmly. Professor Lupin agreed.
Sitting behind a tree, a muggle watched these two men, and a boy talk. An Aston Martin booming down the street suddenly caught his attention. Then he heard a POP! And he turned but the three men were gone.
James Black sat in his room, the lights dimmed. He lived in an orphanage and was the only wizard there. All the rest were muggles. He noticed he was different when he was playing American Football one day with the rest of his so called "friends". He had just been tackled, his nose was bleeding and his long dark hair blew in the wind. The quarterback threw the pass but the ball seemed to just float where ever it wanted, doing circles in the air, until eventually, it blew up.
He hurriedly pressed the backlight button on his Gameboy and the game he was playing, Golden Sun, turned off. The night-checker walked out of sight and then, he was back in the game. He had mastered it, and had beaten it over ten times. Sam, his owl, flew to his window ledge. He had returned from Harry Potter, a parchment letter tied to his talon.
Dear James,
Then news of my godfather, Sirius, having a son is unexpected and exciting news. Congratulations on making Gryffindor. Can you play quidditch? We are in need of a new Chaser and I hope you could play. Can't wait to hear from you again. Thank you for your sympathy towards my friends and me. It is good to know that another friend will greet me at Hogwarts. Let's meet on the train. Hermione and I will be waiting near the back of the train. See you then.
Sincerely, Harry
He closed the letter and put it in his backpack. James had tried to fit in with the muggles, playing their games, watching their tv, and reading their magazines, but he was different. Tomorrow, he would be going to Hogwarts and was deeply looking forward to meeting the wizard and his friend. He seemed amused at the Quidditch question. He had made a broom and found a safe spot to practice. He knew that Harry Potter would be interested to see his skill on a broom because he could play, and he wouldn't min giving Slytherin a run for their money.
"COME ON! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" Mrs. Weasley's voice boomed over the crowd. Ginny, Hermione, and Harry raced with their carts to the train. They said good-bye to Mr. And Mrs. Weasley and found their car. A boy already sat in it. He had long dark hair tied in to a ponytail. He turned away from the window when the door opened and met the gaze of Harry. The two stared at each other for a moment, and then embraced laughing like brothers.
Hermione and Ginny stood off to the side, both with puzzled looks on their faces looking at the two attractive boys. "Hermione, Ginny, this is James Black. He is Sirius' son." Harry said. Soon their faces brightened up.
"Hi James." Ginny said, sitting next to Harry. Hermione tried to say hi but found herself unable to speak, so she waved, blushing furiously.
The new friends talked, laughed, and ate all the way to the castle. It was like they were friends their entire lives. The three friends quickly filled James in on everything he needed to know. They told him about Malfoy, the Gryffindor Common Room, Quidditch, the invisibility cloak, and the Maurader's Map, to which Hermione sighed and Ginny listened intently having not heard of it before.
Three cars down a young girl of 17 sat with her friends from Ravenclaw. They chatted about school, clothes and guys. (Typical girls) All of them were coupled up with someone except for Cho. He friends understood Cedric and sympathized for her. They were talking about how great he was and all of that junk until she couldn't take it anymore. "Can't you see? Cedric is dead! It's been two years! I am ready to move on with my life. In fact, now I'm going out with Harry. Yes, the famous Harry Potter. So just SHUT UP! I know you didn't really like him and that you're just saying all this crap. I don't need you sympathy!" With that she stormed out of the car.
"Wow." Said a fellow Ravenclaw girl, as she watched Cho storm off, leaving the others sitting there with their mouths open.
Back in the other compartment, Harry had fallen asleep, Ginny, also asleep, rested he head on his shoulder. (AWWW!) James and Hermione sat talking, about life in the muggle world, and the upcoming school year. In Hermione's impression, James seemed like a good wizard, and pretty smart considering he had very little practice.
The train-ride continued with James and Hermione talking and never taking their eyes off each other. Harry awoke and the three of them talked for a while. Soon James fell asleep against the outer wall of the train, and so did Hermione fully leaning on James, her head on his arm and her hand on his. Ginny awoke, and after forgetting of her embarrassment of sleeping on Harry's shoulder, giggled at James and Hermione.
"They seem to be getting along just fine." Harry whispered snickering.
"Yea, I think they'll be friends, but that's just a hunch". Ginny whispered back between stifled laughter.
The ride continued smoothly, and when the train finally stopped in Hogsmeade station, James and Hermione stirred. The four friends gathered their belongings and went to the horseless carriages, and when the castle finally came into view, James' mouth dropped. "Beautiful, isn't it?" Harry said seeing his friends face.
"Yea, it really is." James replied. The four Gryffindors walked through the front doors feeling happy to be back, and James felt the happiest of all, because for the first time in his life he had friends.
A:N I believe I set a record for longest time not updating! For this I humbly apologize to my readers. I've been reading around and what are flames? I don't want an example, but could someone tell me in the reviews? Thanks. Also please help me with spelling; I need that. Also, in the reviews, tell me what you think of James and Hermione. Lol. Don't worry Harry/ Cho fans, they'll get together, but I'm not promising they'll stay that way. (evil laugh)! Also, another promise, sorry I went all gothic- deathy for a couple chapters, I promise I will stop killing people ( for now, another evil laugh) I also feel bad about replacing Ron so quickly but someone will have a problem with that promise. So getting to the point of the longest author note ever, review! And look for my next chapter coming up by next week Friday! Sry again about the wait.
