A week after meeting Draco at the club, it was time to go back to Hogwarts.
Harry had all of his things packed and was ready to go to the train station. Like most times, Harry's uncle couldn't wait to get rid of him. He dropped Harry off and took off back to his own home. Harry mad his way to Platform 9 ¾ and walked through the wall.
He was many of the students boarding the train. Just when he thought about boarding he saw a flash of red hair.
He walked over to the person he spotted and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Harry!" was the exclamation he heard before Ron slugged him one in the arm.
"First off, Ow and second how are you?" Harry asked chuckling a bit.
"Everything is just fine, did you have a good summer?" Ron asked back.
"Yeah it was ok, about as ok as it can be with the Dursleys."
"That's good to hear."
Harry looked at him with a very perplexed look on his face.
"How is that necessarily a good thing?" Harry asked him.
"Well, it was probably better than most summers." Ron answered him.
"Ron, I was with you most of my summers." Harry stated.
"Oh, yeah. I kind of forgot that piece of information."
"Anyway, I think we should board." Harry stated as he looked around him and found that nobody was even left standing on the platform.
"Good idea." Ron said also looking around.
As this was said and done, Ron and Harry boarded the train and looked for a compartment. The first one they found was all girls who were giggling at something. They both shook their heads in a negative and continued on. The next compartment was full of Slytherin's which they quickly shut the door to before they could hear them complain.
The third compartment they found was only occupied by one person. A woman with brownish-red hair who was sitting Indian style on the seat. She had her hands resting on her knees and she looked to be sleeping.
Ron and Harry looked at each other and shrugged. Harry walked up to the lady and tapped her on the shoulder, but got no response.
"Miss?" he asked trying again. He still got no movement.
When he was about to try again she grabbed his wrist in a soft hold.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you not to disturb someone while their meditating." As she said this she let go of his wrist and opened her eyes.
Ron and Harry both gasped. She had bright violet eyes. She looked at them and lifted a graceful eyebrow.
"So what did you want?" She asked them as she shifted into a regular sitting position.
"We just wanted to know if we could sit in here with you." Harry answered.
"Of course by the way, I don't think I've introduced myself. My name is Allora Havrid, the new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts." She said.
Ron and Harry looked at her.
"My name is …" As Harry was about to give it she held up her hand stopping him.
"You're Harry Potter, and your friend is Ronald Weasley, and in about five seconds your friend Hermione Granger will be entering this compartment." All they could do was look at her.
Five seconds later Hermione opened the compartment door.
They just stared at their new teacher as Hermione sat down.
Hermione looked at Harry and Ron and raised an eyebrow.
"What?" She asked. After this question she followed Harry and Ron's gaze.
"I don't think we've met, I'm …" As she was about to give her name, the lady finished it for her.
"Hermione Granger." She said.
"How did you know that?" Hermione questioned in disbelief.
And how did you know me and Harry's name?" Ron asked curiously.
"That's an easy one. I'm psychic and sometimes I can read peoples minds. There are also times I just know things without looking for them." They looked at her.
She smiled at them and they just gave her a weird look.
"Sorry, I didn't meant to frighten you or anything, just think about how all the Slytherin's will be acknowledged at all of their impeccable deeds. Also they will not be able to get away with anything."
At this answer they all began to laugh. They all talked all the way to Hogwarts not realizing they were there till the train completely stopped.
"Well, I must take my leave, but before I go, would you mind not telling anybody about my ability?" She told them.
"Of course Professor your secret is safe with us." Hermione answered for all of them.
"Good, I will see you all in the Great Hall." As Professor Havrid said this she walked off of the train and into a carriage.
The others followed her lead and found their own carriages.
