Ch.3-- Return to Hogwarts
*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Over the next few weeks, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny (A/N: She became part of the trio. What would it be now?) all had a great time. A few days before they had to go back to Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, and Ginny were playing Quidditch while Hermione watched.
"C'mon Ron, you need to practice if you want to stay on the team!" Hermione shouted up to him. She was watching Ginny try to score on Ron. So far, Ron wasn't doing a very good job. "Just save one that Ginny throws!" she yelled, getting frustrated. Meanwhile, Harry was on the other side of the yard, speeding around bugs pretending they were Snitches. The bugs were too slow for Harry's Firebolt, so he flew down to the ground, dismounted his broom and went inside to get a drink. He had gotten about two steps inside the house when he heard two people talking. He stopped, and strained his ears to hear what they were saying.
"I don't care if Dumbledore needs him, I still don't think it is safe. Why does he need him? There must be some other ones at Hogwarts, not just Harry." came Mrs. Weasley's voice. (A/N: Have you ever noticed how when Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are arguing about Harry, he always seems to be listening in?)
"Molly, it's a vital point in his plan. I don't like it either, but if Dumbledore needs Harry, we can't interfere with that. We'll just have to wait and see what happens." said Mr. Weasley.
Harry then walked back outside, and slumped down against a wall. What were they talking about? What does Dumbledore need me for? Maybe I'll find out when I go back to Hogwarts.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Before Harry knew it, it was time to go back to Hogwarts. The morning of September 1st Harry, Hermione, and the Weasleys were having a very hectic morning. Everyone had to keep running up and down the stairs to find things. Fred and George were still home, and it didn't help that they kept trying to hex people while they were running up and down the stairs. Finally, when everyone was done packing, which was around ten o'clock, they rushed out of the house and got into the cars that Mr. Weasley had borrowed from the ministry. (A/N: You notice how things keep coming from the other books? I don't try to do that, but I think it is just because I've like memorized the books.) They got to the station at around ten forty-five, so they took their time going through the barrier. Since only some people were there, Harry, Ron, and Hermione got a compartment to themselves, while Ginny looked around for her boyfriend, Dean Thomas, who was a sixth year Gryffindor.
"Harry, don't forget that later we have a meeting in the front of the train." said Hermione. "McGonagall sent some letters to the Head Boy and Head Girl to tell them what needs to be done this year."
"Uh, yeah. I wonder who the new Heads are this year. Do you know?" Harry asked Ron and Hermione. Both of them shook their heads. They chatted for a while and then they heard a knock at their compartment door.
"Finally," said Ron, "I was wondering when the food cart was going to come around." But it wasn't the food cart. It was Draco Malfoy and his two cronies, Crabbe and Goyle.
"Well Potter, we meet again." said Malfoy.
"I'm surprised you're still acting like you own everything, Malfoy. You know we can hex you out of this universe if you don't leave." said Harry calmly.
"You know you can't do that Potter. So don't go around convincing yourself that's true. And by the way, my father is out of Azkaban, so don't say anything about him or I'll hex you out of this universe." Malfoy said, and with that, he left.
Suddenly they heard a voice that was magically magnified by a spell. "Will all prefects please report to the front of the train. This will only take a minute."
"See you in a bit Ron," said Harry, handing Ron some Galleons "and if the food cart comes around, get me some stuff, and I don't care what you get, just something. I'll pay you back later."
The only thing that the heads had told Harry and Hermione (and the rest of the prefects) were the new passwords and their duties. The rest of the trip was uneventful, ex and Harry was very glad to see the castle in the distance. Once they had gotten off the train, they heard Hagrid's familiar voice shouting to the first years, "Firs' years! Firs' years, this way. Follow me!" The rest of the school then made their way to the carriages which were pulled by the thestrals.
"Can you guys see them yet?" Harry asked Ron and Hermoine.
"See what?" replied Ron, confused.
"The thestrals. You know they are here, and I was just wondering if you see them." said Harry.
"No." said Hermione, even though she looked like she wanted to see them.
They were then pulled to the school by the carriages. When they got inside the Great Hall, they sat down at the Gryffindor table, and were soon surrounded by first years waiting to be sorted. The Sorting Hat then opened it's "mouth" and began to sing:
"Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I'll tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"
When the hat was done, everyone clapped and then Professor McGonagall stood up and announced the names:
"Arrison, Jessica"
"RAVENCLAW"
"Baylor, Alisha"
"SLYTHERIN"
"Berkoski, Amanda"

After all the first years were seated, Dumbeldore stood up and announced "Since our last year's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is no longer working here, I am pleased to announced that Fleur Delacour will be taking the position. As some of you may remember, Professor Delacour was part of the Triwizard Tournament two years ago. I hope you will all treat her well, and be glad to help her with English words if she asks you to. That is all the announcements for now. Enjoy the feast and hope all of you sleep well."
Then the food magically appeared on their plates and everyone dug in.
"Did you know that Fleur was working here this year?" asked Ron.
"No," said Harry, "but she had said she wanted to come back and teach to improve her English."
"Oh, right. Do you think she'll remember me?" asked Ron.
"Maybe, because of the way you kept staring at her in fourth year." said Hermione, with a slight giggle.
After everyone was done eating, the food magically disappeared off the plates, and then everyone headed out of the Great Hall. They all went up to the common rooms, and when the new Gryffindors got to the portrait of the Fat Lady, Hermoine said the new password which was "Desperoddis." When Harry got back to his familiar room, he then flopped on his bed and fell into a deep sleep.
