Chapter 1
"You know when we go back Harry, you're going to get to be Quidditch Captain for Gryffindor." said Ron Weasley.
"I know Ron, but for some reason, I wonder if I'm ready for that. I mean, I've played since my first year and all, but Malfoy has gotten pretty good!"
"Oh come off it Harry, you know you'reso much better than that stupid git!" Harry laughed and put his head on his pillow. There was a long silence.
"Night Ron!" Harry looked over to Ron, but he was already dead asleep on his pillow.

Hermione Granger was looking through all of her things, making sure she wouldn't forget any thing for her next semester at Hogwarts. Hermione was shorter than Harry and Ron but very thin, she had bushy brown hair but would use straightening spells to make it look nice and flat. She had beautiful brown eyes and was always reading a book. She picked up a few last things and stuffed them in her trunk. She took a picture of her Ron Weasley and Harry Potter, her two best-friends, off of her night stand and placed them on top of her wand box and shut her trunk and locked it. She smiled and said in a whisper, "Tomorrow, I get to see you again Ron, after almost this whole summer, I get to see you!" and she fell asleep.

The next morning Molly Weasley came in the room. She pulled the covers off of the boys and they groaned, "Come on boys, breakfast is on the table and we have to be ready to catch the train in an hour.Come on then, hurry up!"
"Mum... please five more minutes?" whined Ron.
"Ronald Weasley! Get up! Your brothers and sister are already up and ready to go. Now come on."
Harry got up and smiled at Mrs. Weasley and began to walk out the door.
"Come on Ron, you still have a little more packing to do. Get up!"
"You're not done packing yet?!" Mrs. Weasley shouted. "I told you to be done with that two days ago, Ron"
"Oh come on! I only have to put in my wand and a few little things." Ron got out of bed and followed Harry down the steps to breakfast.
"Good morning Harry!" said Ginny Weasley sweetly.
"Morning Gin," Harry said sleepily as he rubbed his eyes.
"Gee, and Good morning to you to Ginny!" Ron said, rather rudely.
"Oh, good morning Ron!" she giggled softly and smiled.
The three of them sat down for breakfast and they noticed something, rather some one was missing-Hermione. Unfortunately, Hermione didn't get to stay at the Burrow during the last few days of vacation this year, simply because her parents wanted her home all summer. They were taking a few vactions they would want her there for. Ron, Harry and Ginny all finished breakfast and headed up stairs to get their things ready for their trip back to Hogwarts. Ron locked his trunk just as Fred and George, Ron's older twin brothers, came in to carry the trunks downstairs. Harry grabbed Hedwig's cage and followed them out the door. Ron took one last look through his room, grabbed Pig's cage and left, shutting the door quietly.

While making their way to Platform 9 3\4 the Weasleys and Harry were getting the odd looks they usually got when walking at the station. Not many people go places wiht owls and big trunks. There were a million muggles, non-magical people, running around trying to get to their train and Ron was amazed by the way they had their hair or how little they would pack. Mrs. Weasley said good-bye to each of her kids, kissing them on the cheek, which made all of them blush. Harry had spotted Hermione and smiled to her and waved. Hermione joined Harry and the Weasleys and smiled to Mrs. Weasley, "It is nice to see you Mrs. Weasley. I missed staying at the Burrow for the last few days."
"It was quite different with out you; the boys did nothing but play Quidditch in the field and Ron had just finished packing this morning."
Hermione smiled as Mrs. Weasley gave her a hug as if she were one of her own. The four Weasley children, Harry, and Hermione walked right through the wall onto Platform 9 and 3\4 and smiled, seeing all of the familiar faces. Neville Longbottom came and said a quick hello before getting on the train. Colin Creevey smiled at Ginny and they had a short conversation.
"I see you still have your tag along, eh Potter?" said an ungrateful voice from behind Harry.
"I don't see what you get out of trying to make fun of people Malfoy," Harry said with disgust.
Draco Malfoy just walked passed bumping into Ron purposely as he got on the train. Hermione, Harry, Ginny, and Ron all boarded the train and found a compartment with only one girl in it; a girl they had never seen before.
"You know when we go back Harry, you're going to get to be Quidditch Captain for Gryffindor." said Ron Weasley.
"I know Ron, but for some reason, I wonder if I'm ready for that. I mean, I've played since my first year and all, but Malfoy has gotten pretty good!"
