Chapter 7: The arrival and questions
The Next day they headed down to breakfast in the great hall. Harry was eating a piece of toast when McGonagall passed him his timetable.
"I've got Double Advanced Defense against the dark arts first!" He said excitedly
"I've got Herbology" Ron groaned taking a look at his timetable "Oh then after break I Have defense against the dark arts and charms!"
"I have Double Advanced Transfiguration then charms" Harry nodded
"I have the same as Harry" Hermione said glancing at her timetable.
"Hey get this I miss double potions one Tuesday and Herbology the second Tuesday for the concerts!" Harry said excitedly
"Lucky you!" Ron agreed
The trio finished breakfast and headed out of the hall and split off to head to their first lessons. They day was uneventfully boring. The teachers spent their time lecturing them on their courses and going over what they had done in the past.
After lessons Harry headed up to Dumbledore's office to floo to Headquarters so head could go to band practice.
Harry met the rest of the bolts at the hall and they sat around and waited for a bit while liquorice practiced.
"So how was your first day back?" Saph asked after she'd given him a hug and a kiss hello.
"Boring really, just teachers blabbing on… you know…" Harry sighed "So had fun with out me?"
"Not really it's been pretty boring here too…" Matt said
"A total yawn fest" Jay added "Want to go out for pizza before you go back?"
"Yeah go on it sounds great!" Harry agreed so after they had gone over a few of the songs ready for the next concert they headed to a nearby pizza parlour where they stayed till nine ish before Harry announced he really had to go.
The next couple of weeks passed in the same way. Harry attended lessons normally except on Tuesdays which he only attended morning lessons before heading off to wherever their concert was that afternoon. The bolts enjoyed every performance the audiences were amazing and the atmosphere was great.
Harry was well into the first term of his sixth year at Hogwarts. He had somehow managed to keep up with his homework as well as attending every concert and practice. He was looking forward to the Christmas holidays, which were a day away, when the bolts would come to Hogwarts for the holidays and the Christmas ball.
Harry was sat on his bed adding the finishing touches to a potions essay for the next day. He was just about to get up and get changed for bed when Ron came in. Harry put his essay away and watched as Ron headed to his trunk and pulled out his pajamas. Harry sighed maybe he could risk getting changed in here tonight.
Harry had always avoided getting changed while other people were in the room due to the scars and old bruises all over his body. But he knew Ron would find it weird if he left the room to get changed and he knew Ron wouldn't leave the room again that night. To be honest he had no choice.
So he dug out his pajamas turned so his back was facing Ron as he took is top off ready to slip his pajama top on.
This was the point Ron decided to turn round to ask Harry when the charms homework was in for. Ron caught a look at Harry's back and half gasped.
"Harry?" Ron asked as Harry pulled his pajama top on.
'What?" Harry asked unaware Ron had just seen his back.
"What happened to your back?"
Harry flinched
"What! Nothing" Harry said quickly
"It doesn't look like nothing! What happened?" Ron asked
"I said nothing" Harry said as he pulled on his pajama bottoms and slipped into bed
"I…" Ron began but then stopped "Ok then" he said hesitantly telling himself he needed to ask Hermione what she though. He slipped into bed as well "Night Harry"
"Night" Harry replied as he pulled up the covers. 'Shit' he thought as he drifted off.
The next day Harry waited till the dorm was empty before he got changed. Luckily Ron had got up and dressed pretty early so Harry hadn't had to wait long for the room to empty out especially as Ron was always the last of his dorm mates to get up.
Ron hurried down to the common room where he found Hermione talking to Ginny as she checked she had her books for the morning in her bag.
"Hermione? can I talk to you?" Ron asked Hermione nodded
"What do you want? Help with the charms homework because you haven't done it yet?" she asked
"No" Ron shuck his head
"Well?" she asked impatiently
"Not here" he said before leading her out of the common room to an empty classroom nearby.
"It's about Harry" Ron said nervously
"What about him? What's happened?" Hermione asked anxiously
"Last night he was changing his top and I saw his back, it was covered with bruises and scars…" Ron explained "I asked him what happened and he said nothing… I think… I think someone attacked him during the summer"
'I wonder what happened" Hermione said nervously "Oh god what if it was the Dursley's!" Realization dawned on her face.
"Oh God" Ron muttered
"We have to talk to him" Hermione said
"Ok" Ron agreed
"Tonight if we can okay after lessons" Hermione said and Ron nodded "come on lets got down to breakfast we'll talk to him later"
The day went slowly for Harry who was excited about his friends' arrival at the school after lessons. Where as the day zoomed passed for Ron and Hermione who were dreading confronting Harry.
Finally the lessons finished and Harry headed up to Dumbledore's office to meet his friends.
"LB!" Saph yelled launching herself on him the minute he stepped in the office. After greeting everybody Dumbledore explained he had had extra beds add to the Gryffindor sixth year girls and boys dorms for them to sleep in and that they could leave their instruments in his office and they could come up and practice anytime they wanted before Christmas Eve, the night of the ball.
Harry led his friends though the castle. The were amazed at the sheer size of the castle itself. He gave them a quick tour before showing them Gryffindor tower.
They took seats by the fire ignoring the questioning glances.
"So what do you think?" Harry asked
"It's wonderful! I wish our school had been this amazing!" Tash said enthusiastically
"Yeah it's a great place but I'm sure I would spend most of my time getting lost!" Matt agree
"I still get lost and this is my sixth year!" Harry laughed
Hermione and Ron joined them later on in the evening. They didn't have to guts to try and bring up what Ron had seen the night before so they vowed they would talk to him the next day.
The next day dawned bright and snowy. Everywhere was white the lake was frozen over and most of the occupants of Gryffindor tower who were staying for Christmas (which was nearly everybody due to the ball) were preparing to go outside for a massive snowball fight.
After an exhausting morning of snowball fighting they headed back into the castle for dinner. In the afternoon they relaxed around the fire or explored the castle.
Harry and Saph were heading to the common room hand in hand when Ron and Hermione caught up with them.
"Harry could we have a word?" Hermione asked
"Sure" Harry said
"In private" Ron added
"Anything you have to say to me you can say in front of Saph too." Harry said quickly "She knows everything about me. We have no secrets"
"If you're sure" Hermione said as Ron lead them into the classroom he'd pulled Hermione into just a few days before.
"So?" Harry asked
"I… We were wondering…er… where you got those scars from on your back" Ron said bravely
Harry and Saph exchanged glances and Saph squeezed Harry's hand.
"Ron I told you its nothing…" Harry mumbled
"If it was the Dursley's you have to tell Dumbledore…" Hermione started
"Where did you get that idea from?" Harry asked
"Well it's just that we thought…" Hermione said
"Even if it was them, then it's my problem you don't need to go sticking your noses into everything! Who else have you told this too?" Harry asked angrily
"No one" Ron said
"Well keep it that way" Harry said turning to leave
"Harry if something is going on you have to tell someone" Hermione said
"I can handle it I don't need help" Harry said storming from the room.
Saph looked apologetically at Ron and Hermione before following him.
