OK I got a bunch of reviews! Not all great, but reviews all the same! Ok where do I begin?

Krissygurl: thanks! And be sure to keep reading! I just quit track so I'll be able to update more!

Nightwing: thanks for reviewing so fast as usual. I thought it fitting to have Harry save Hermione's life yet again.

tintedsunglasses: thanks for reading and reviewing!

Fuzzball: Dang I knew I missed one. I'll add it in and try to keep it at 12 owls! Thanks for reviewing!

Wolfs Scream: Opps I meant Ginny not Mrs. Weasley. Dang! and with Lucieus- well I think I forgot to put in there that they were firing curses back and forth the whole time. I really need to add more to that battle because I also forgot to put that Harry put his shield when he looked at Ginny. I didn't know how to do all that but thanks for reviewing…… despite the mess-ups please keep reading. Oh and your second review- screw it was not meant in that way! Haha but I'll keep it like that anyway!

Ginnypotterfan: glad you liked reading it. Yeah I'm not very good at battle scenes… AND I wrote this scene really quickly in order to fit two chapters in! …perhaps I'll add more onto that later, but for now I'm just trying to get through the story! Like I said. I'm making Hermione really powerful. But you also have to remember it almost killed her. And I didn't think about saying why Harry was pushing them back…. I don't really get that.. But I meant it to be like Harry was pushing them back towards Professor Lupin so they could take an emergency portkey away from danger. So he was really protecting them. Harry did warn them but they wanted to help fight. Hermione also went out to fight and got separated when she had to run from death eaters. I really hate writing battle scenes so sorry if they aren't up to scratch.! WOW that was a long response… but thanks for your long review. Keep reading!

Gina: Thank you SO much for saying that! I was afraid I changed the characters too much but that makes me feel better! I love when Ginny is able to keep everyone in line.. After all she did have to put up with all of those brothers for so many years! I'm planning on making Ginny have a very important power as well as some special skills in potions and charms. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Alison: No no no… I'm not going to get anything bad… it will be suitable for preteens and above, believe me. There's a lot of snogging but nothing too bad! I promise! Please keep reading. And thanks so much for reviewing!

The best witch of all: I'm so glad you like it! I'm going to develop the powers a lot soon! Thanks so much for reviewing!

FSUgurlforlife: thanks so much. Don't worry about reviewing any faster! I'm just glad you reviewed, of course you always do! Thanks for that!

Did I miss anybody? I cant tell? If I did please tell me and I will smack myself in the head and write you and individual response! OR you can smack me in the head if you want to!

FINALLY onto the story! I might have to do those Irs at the end!

……"I love you Ginny, goodnight." she said kissing her cheek briefly before laying down and holding her in his arms. They fell asleep that way, and neither of them had any nightmares, but rather dreamt of each other……

Harry awoke the next morning abruptly. Ron was standing over them, red in the face, and practically steaming. "WHAT are you two doing?" Ron demanded of them.

"Sleeping." Ginny grumbled before turning over on the other side and burying her head in Harry's chest. Ron was outraged. "Get- Out- Now!" Harry obeyed and scrambled out of bed but Ginny just flopped over and went back to sleep. "Ginny.." Ron said in a threatening voice. "Up, NOW" he waved his wand, pulling the covers off of her.

"Fine!" Ginny said before standing up. Ron turned to Harry. " Harry, do you remember our talk?" Harry thought back. Ron was obviously referring to the talk on Ginny's birthday.

"N-nothing happened Ron, I swear! Just ask Ginny." He glanced over at Ginny who was now leaning against the bed post- asleep. Ron glared at him, but finally thought about it and decided that Harry was telling the truth, so just turned and left the room.

Harry and Ginny descended down the stairs half an hour later. Harry had obviously told Ginny what had happened, because both were slightly red-faced and guilty looking as they greeted Ron and headed down to visit Hermione.

Hermione was in a cheery mood. "Madam Pomfrey said that I will be out of the hospital wing and well just in time to attend classes. Isn't it wonderful?" Hermione exclaimed.

There were only 3 days until the first day of school, and Harry was nervous about who the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher would be. He hoped someone from the order.

The day before school was to start, all four of them ( Hermione had returned from the hospital wing) were sitting around the common room, when they saw 6 owls divided up into pairs, gliding their way with something slender tied to their legs.

"Oh! I wondered when they would be coming!" Harry said. He could feel Ginny trying to prod into his mind to see what it was, but he blocked her effectively. Two owls landed in front of Ron, two in front of Ginny, and two in front of Harry. "Wait just a second to open those." he said to them. He rushed up to get Hermione's books, which he had wrapped in brown paper.

"I got these because I figured we all deserved somewhat of a treat. Go ahead. You can open them." he said before tearing into his own paper. Ginny gasped. Ron's jaw dropped and his ears turned read. Hermione ran up and threw her arms around Harry. " This is exactly what I've been needing to complete my research. Oh, Thanks Harry! These must have cost a fortune. They're all extremely rare!"

"Harry I cant take this. You must have spent a fortune. This broom is especially made for keepers!" Ron exclaimed. Ginny was extremely shocked. "That's custom made for you, Ginny. I ordered it myself." Harry informed her. "Its an extremely good broom. You have to have something to fly on if you're going to be star chaser, don't you?"

"Wow! Thanks Harry! I can't believe it! Can we go fly right now?" Ginny asked. Harry nodded. "I'll read and watch you guys." Hermione said. All of them headed out to the quidditch pitch and shot off into the sky. "Wow!" Ginny exclaimed, "I've never gone this fast before!" She sped off and went into and extremely dangerous dive, then spiraling upward, making Ron gasp, as if she was about to fall.

They stayed out there for a long time, and even Hermione gave it a go, though she insisted on going back to her reading after a short while. Harry, once again, was watching Ginny fly. She had such grace, yet was incredibly reckless; it almost seemed as if she weren't afraid to crash. Things were winding down as large black clouds filled the sky and rain began showering down.

Suddenly, Ginny stood still in the air, and her eyes became unfocused. After about a minute, she came to and yelled to Ron. "Move now. Go down to the ground!" As everyone exited the sky and ran for shelter, a large bolt of lightening struck where Ron had been merely seconds before. Ron's mouth stood agape.

"Ginny- how did you-?" he was looking as if he were about to pass out, but steadied himself. "Ginny, how did you know the lightening was going to strike?" he said.

"I- I don't know. I kind of had a vision- I think." Harry shook the water out of his ears to be sure he heard correctly. "A vision, Gin? Are you sure?" Ginny nodded. "Quite sure." They all ran inside, and Hermione met them in the great hall. When they informed her of what had happened, she immediately said, "We need to go to Dumbledore.. Immediately."

The four of them sprinted up to Dumbledore's office. Harry stopped. They didn't know the password. They were saved the trouble of guessing it when Dumbledore himself came down the stairs. "Is there something you need to discuss?" They all nodded. "Very well.. Up to my office then."

They told him of Ginny's vision, and he merely nodded. "You have Seer blood in you. Your mother has the gift of foresight. How else do you think she always kept the twins in line, though she is not a true seer. You, however, seem to be quite real. I think you should study Divination closely this year. Even though we don't have the best teacher for it, the theories will help you since you are a real seer.

Everyone was shocked. "I'm a REAL seer?" Ginny asked. Dumbledore nodded. "You might even make some prophesies." Dumbledore said.

All of them went to bed that night very confused, but awoke on the first day of school happily. Moony dropped by shortly after breakfast. "We'll have to take you to King's Cross Station so no one suspects that you have been here. You can go ahead and leave your trunks here, and just say you have already put them on the train to anyone who asks."

All of them gathered 'round Lupin, and soon they took a portkey to a dark alley where no muggles could see them appear. Then they walked to King's Cross, and went straight through the barrier. Ahead of them was the scarlet steam engine they all knew and loved.

Once aboard, they got an empty compartment easily since they had no trunks with them. Later, they were joined by Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood. If felt strange to Harry, having all of the people from the Department of Mysteries, all together.

"How has your summer been, Neville?" Harry asked politely. Neville looked nervous for a minute before answering, "Well, Gran has had a lot more respect for me, but - well I've been having nightmares- you know- about the department of mysteries" Harry mentally smacked his forehead. Neville had been the only one to make it far enough in the battle to see Sirius die. He had been there almost right to the end with Harry.

"I'm sorry Neville. I didn't even think about that. Is there anything I can do?" Harry asked him. Neville shook his head. "I'll be ok. Is there anything I can do for you? After all, you were the one who had to face him-" He gulped. " V-volderr-mort." It was the first time he had said his name.

Always being a fearful boy, Harry was deeply touched that Neville would say it for him, and be so loyal. He gave him a genuine smile, and they spent the rest of the train ride talking about Neville's new wand, quidditch, and herbology.

As they exited the train, they heard a familiar voice. "Firs' years this way!" Harry was excited that Hagrid was back, and went over to say hello. "Hi Harry! Good ter see ya!" Harry left for the carriages but when he saw the thestrals, they reminded him of the deaths he had witnessed.

Once inside the castle, Harry saw Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan. He greeted them warmly and sat down to wait for the sorting ceremony. Professor McGonagall came forward and set the sorting hat on the stool. The brim of the hat split wide open and-

(AN: I really am no good at poetry of any kind! Be nice)

Another year at Hogwarts, war is on its way,

Evil will be vanquished if together the houses stay.

Weren't Gryffindor and Slytherin once the best of friends?

If now we turn our backs on each other,

We'll meet a sticky end.

Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were sisters in every way

Now what will happen if we go our separate ways?

Gryffindor is for the brave and courageous

Hufflepuff for the kind and true,

Ravenclaws are the quick witted ones

The ambitious go with the Slytherin crew.

Inter-house unity is the only way

For the good side to survive

Without uniting as one,

None of us will stay alive

Heed my warning, it is no joke,

Stay as one and you will thrive

The dark lord will linger on for years and years

Unless we ALL will strive.

A stunned silence followed this song, then slowly, the hall broke into applause. McGonagall stepped forward and read the first name. "Aberhines, Jimmy" she said. A tall skinny brown haired boy stepped forward and placed the hat on his head.

"Aww- come on, then. When can we eat?" grumbled Ron halfway through the ceremony. Finally after the last student had been sorted, ( Zephyrr, Christine, to Hufflepuff) Dumbledore stood to welcome everyone. "Dig in please" he said and waved his hand. The vast amount of food appeared on the tables, and Ron "dug in" right away. After everyone was full and the plates had cleared away, Dumbledore once again stood.

"I would like to introduce to you our new Defense against the Dark Arts Teacher, Professor Mccall." he said, gesturing to the far end of the staff table. A very attractive, very young woman stood up. She had shining dark brown hair, piercing almond shaped dark brown eyes, and incredibly fair skin, causing her hair and eyes to stand out even more. She had a slightly athletic build, but still had an hourglass shaped figure. All of the students clapped excitedly.

All of the boys in the hall were staring at her. Hermione slapped Ron in the back of the head and he immediately re-focused his eyes and wiped the drool off the side of his mouth.

Professor Mccall sat back down and thanked the enthusiastic reaction of the students with a wave and a slight nod. Professor Dumbledore continued on, " I also think it would be a good Idea if Harry Potter were to keep the D.A. up and running. It will be open to everyone now, since it had such good results last year. Now, have a good night, and you are dismissed."

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all headed up to their special room. They soon settled in and went to sleep, eager to begin classes tomorrow. Harry hoped he had Professor Mccall first. She did look vaguely familiar, he thought as he drifted off to sleep.
