Chappie nine:

A little bit a drama

Harry's going ta die!" Neville wailed.Luna simply sat down and started skimming through her magazine calmly.

"What are you doing?" Neville demanded.

"Reading, " Luna answered, not glancing up. Neville's usual round, confused face looked very angry.

"READING!" Neville's voice rang through the train. Harry had stopped laughing, but Neville didn't seem to notice.

"I'll give you reading you cruel hag! FREEZIO!"

Neville's aim was so poor that instead of hitting Luna and freezing her, it hit Harry.

"Oh no!" Neville cried out, tears leaking out of his face. He sat kneeling, near Harry's rigid body, face in hands.

Right on cue Hermione and Ron came in, looking tired. They abruptly stopped talking and Ron immmediately made to go find another part of the train, but Hermione yanked him by the back of his robes and dragged him in. Her eyes traveled over from Luna reading, to Neville sobbing and finally rested on Harry, frozen.

She glared at Luna first, but asked Neville, "What happened here?"

Neville burst into fresh tears and cried out his sorry tale, "I-I thought H-Harry was h-having a s-seizure, b-because L-Luna said so. S-she acted like it didn't-t matter, s-so I g-got mad and then I-I meant to f-freeze her, but I froze H-Harry instead."

Hermione shook her head, muttered the counter-curse and Harry became unfrozen. "Harry, tell your side of the story,please,"Hermione wearily asked.

Harry blinked a little and then , a little guiltily explained, " See Luna showed me this article, and I couldn't jelp but left and then she started saying I was having a seizure, so then Neville got mad that she was acting like it was nothing and then tried to freeze her, but instead his spell hit me.That's it really."

Ron who was sitting, looking pale, suddenly gave a strangled sort of snort.

"Yes, Ron?" Hermione asked sharply.

"Uh, nothing, it's just a little,uh, funny," Ron carefully explained. He avoided Neville's angry look and Luna's raised eyebrows.

"What I don't get, " Luna sniffed, all trace of dreaminess gone, "is why people think THE QUIBLER is funny. It deals with serious issues, and as far as you, Harry , are concerned, that was very rude of you to laugh."

Luna, turned her back on them, and started reading the magazine again, making her dirty blonde hair bounce.

Hermione gave her a scathing look and started consoling Harry, "Don't mind her, she's a complete nutter."

"Likepeople used to think of me in our fifth?" Harry quietly asked.

"Look, I'm not saying she's bad, I prefer her to Malfoy any ways, so don't think I'm making fun of her, I'm just giving my opinion. In a weird sort of twisted way I kinda like her as a friend, 'Hermione admitted.

Harry nodded and noticed that they were closing in on Hogwarts.

"I'd better change into my robes, " He informed her, and slipped out the compartment.

The Hogwarts Train, slowed to a stop and students piled out, in groups. Hermione, Ron, Harry and Neville piled into the cariages drawn by the thin horselike creatures, Harry had only started to get used to. Five minutes later they got out and entered Hogwarts.

It was gently raining, and Peeves was seen, grabbing handfuls of water and ever so often pelting it at students.

"C'mon," Ron gruffly hurried them, "We'll get soaked thanks to Peeves."

They quickly scurried in, dodging water and retreating into safety.

Harry took one look at the Great Hall and felt at home, there was one long table for the teachers, with Dumbledore in the middle, and four House Tables. Candles illuminated the Hall, floating above there heads, and the ceiling reflected the dark, slightly drizzly night sky. As Harry, Hermione and Ron sat down. Harry scanned the room and saw the DADA teacher and almost instantly knew it was Tonks, because the lady grinned at Harry, winked and mouthed, "Wotcher, Harry."

Tonks had her hair curly black, streaked with a few highlights of deep purple. Her nose was small, and er eyes were an amazing purple color. Harry scanned through the rest of the table, He saw Mrs. McGonagall, smiling slightly in Tonks direction, Professor Flitwick chatting merrily with Professor Sprout, Snape, looking dark and forbidding and finally Dumbledore, with a slightly happy smile, blue eyes twinkling, and his long bear seeming longer than ever.

Soon Professor McGonnagal brought in the battered sorting hat and placed it onto the stool, and then cam a scraggly line of first years, looking nervous, and slightly wet. One girl with thick brown hair and green ees waved to Hermione and Hermione waved back.

"That isn't your sister, right? Cuz she doesn't really look like you." Ron muttered to Hermione.

"No she's my little friend.I told her all about Hogwarts."

The sorting hat opened it's mouth and sang out,

Here is a new year,

I hope it will be full of cheer,

I'm here to sort,

so never fear,

there is Ravenclaw that clearly is the cleverest,

then comes Hufflepuff, good and true,

after that comes Slytherin, surely sly and clever,

and finally Griffindor, brave and honourable.

I wish not to sort you,

for more danger approaches,

and evil encroaches,

but it is my job,

but I wish for no strife,

but that is life,

I find this a sin,

but let the sorting begin!"

The place burst into clapping, but no one really seemed surprised, the sorting hat had already warned them about its fear.

Lemms, Gerta turned out to be in Ravenclaw, Joys, Jake turned out to be in Ravenclaw. Fifty, Fanny was a hufflepuff, then came Hermione's friend, Green, Eartha who was a Griffindor and finally, Yelps, David was a Slytherin.

After all the kids had been sorted. The sorting hat was taken out of the room and an announcement was made.

Dumbledore rose, "Ah, here is a new year. Hello to old students and new! Again Mr. Filtch reminds me to tell you that the Forbiddden Forest is out of bounds,and no magic in corridors.We also have a new DADA Teacher, Professor Tonks! Please give her a warm welcome (Everyone clapped, thankful for Umbridge's departure, except for the Slytheryns, and Tonks beamed) ! You must be starving, so tuck in!"

The place burst with clapping and then food appeared.

Harry smiled and knew that he was home.
