Harry Potter And The Battle For Life And Death

Harry Potter sat in the Dursley's car excited about getting to the platform where he would get on Hogwarts Express. With the threat of Voldemort, Harry was not able to go to Grimmaud Place this year. That wasn't that bad, he did not want to have to rethink the events that happened the day Sirus died.

On the way there all he could think about was the prophecy. He wanted to tell Ron and Hermione, but he was not sure. Harry did not want to bring more of a threat of death to them.

Finally, he made it to the train station.

'Only 5 more minutes until I get to see them again' Harry thought, with his anxiety getting rising higher and higher.

He walked onto the train and searched for them. He finally ran into Ron. Ron told him that he didn't know where Hermione was but Ginny told them she was going to be late.

'Hermione is never late' Harry thought as he drifted away thinking of what she might be up to.

"Harry. Harry. Back to earth Harry"

"Huh"

"I was asking you what you are going to do about the DA this year"

"Umm…I don't know. I guess it all depends on who our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is, Ron."

Throughout the rest of the train ride they talked about there summer. Hermione never showed up. Harry didn't even think about telling Ron about the prophecy.

'Not yet' he thought. 'Maybe later'

A few hours later they made it to Hogwarts. There was still no sign of Hermione.

'I wonder where the hell she is' Harry thought.

They entered the hall awaiting the feast. But first, of course, Dumbledore had to make his beginning of the year speech.

"Good evening ladies and gentle men. Welcome back

to Hogwarts. To all new students, Welcome. Here is

the place where you will spend most of your time.

Here, at Hogwarts, you will test your waters in

relationships, studies and your teachers. Be ready for

an interesting year.

Now to all returning students-get ready for a hectic

year. This year is when you and your friends

relationships are either going to fail or live forever.

Your friends are going to need you, and you are

Going to need them to survive. Remember, there is

An end in friend, but only if you let there be.

Now, before we get to the feast we have to get

to the new students sorting. Professor McGonagall

will come and read there names so they can be

sorted, Professor McGonagall."

There were many people sorted into Gryffindor. There were 3 girls and 2 boys. Eliza, Kristi, Ashlee, Ryan and Alex were all sorted in there. They all were really nice and seemed to be willing to learn and try anything. Harry decided that if he kept up with the DA, he definitely wanted them to be in there.

The newest staff member was quite strange. His name was Professor Dulude. He was old, and had no patience with kids. When Harry met this stranger he decided to keep up with the DA, so at least the kids would learn something this year.

Harry, Ron and Ginny made there way up to the common room.

"Why don't we stay up and wait for Hermione, I haven't gotten to see her in months," Harry said.

"Sure, I guess," Ron said.

They waited and waited. Still no sign of Hermione. It was almost one o'clock and everyone had fallen asleep besides Harry. Harry heard the portrait open and jumped.

"Where the hell have you been," Harry asked

"I told Dumbledore to tell you guys not to wait up for me," Hermione said." Anyways how's everything going?"

"Alright I guess."

"How was your summer? I was going to have you come and live with me but Professor Dumbledore insisted you stay with the Dursleys."

"My summer was let's just say boring. There's no other word to describe it. I read so much I think I'm becoming like you."

"Ha ha ha," Hermione laughed sarcastically.

"Well I guess I'm off to bed," Hermione said. It's been a long day."

"Alright. G'd night," Harry said as he strolled off to bed.

'Damn' Harry thought.' Why didn't I tell her? I need to tell someone. I'm just worried. But I want to tell her more than I want to tell Ron, for some reason.'

Harry went to sleep that night with his head full. His scar pierced so bad it was almost bleeding. He had really bad dreams but he never wanted to mention any of them again, not after what happened to Sirus.
