Disclaimer I don't own Harry Potter or any of the character, but how I wish I could have Remus. Please read and review. It keeps me writing. WARNING HBP spoilers
Chapter 1 The new beginning.
It was Harry's 7th year at Hogwarts. He sat on the train reflecting on the previous year with sorrow in his heart. He missed Dumbeldore, but he knew they would survive. It would be a fight but they would make it. Harry was awoken out of his daze when Hermione's hand was waving in front of his face.
" Harry, hey Harry wake up."Hermione shouted.
"Oh sorry hey guys."
"Harry we have a surprise for you."Ron said as he stepped aside and from behind him out stepped Remus Lupin. Harry beamed and embraced Remus in a bone crushing hug. A tear trickled down his cheek as he hugged his closest thing to a parent.
"It is great to see you Harry, Ron, and especially you Hermione." Lupin replied sitting next to Harry. Hermione blushed a red that would give Ron's hair a good running. Harry and Ron looked at each other and started to laugh. They both knew of Hermione's crush on Remus J Lupin.
The rest of the train ride went on without much excitement. Harry, Ron, and Remus talked about the upcoming Quidditch season and Remus being the DADA teacher again. Hermione write in her diary. Once stopped they all piled into a carriage for the ride to the castle.
Once seated, they saw McGonagall seated at the headmasters chair. They smiled at her as Hagrid brought in the shaking, terrified new first years. There in the middle of the floor sat the sorting hat getting ready to sing his song. The creases in the hat opened up like eyes and the brim split like a mouth.
Take care this year all of you
As you will see some leave
Most stay good , but some will run to him
The one who will try to destroy the world
He seeks the boy who lived
I fear he will find
You all must ban together and be strong
For if you do not fight side by side
You will all die
So take care of each other and stay together
Let love be first in your heart
For love keeps us strong and true
With that Hermione looked up at Remus and smiled. He winked at her and then turned his attention to McGonagall who stood to make her speech." We are all in great peril. We must work together and train. For this year might be some of our last. I am sure you have all heard of Dumbeldore's sudden departure. The attackers are still at large, but they will be caught or killed. As you might have guessed we have two new teachers. Coming back as DADA teacher is Professor Lupin." there were cheers from the students." Taking the roll of Potion Professor will be Kingsley Shakebolt. I expect you all to welcome them with open arms. Now let's tuck in and then go to bed."
Once everyone had eaten their fill, they headed to bed. Hermione and Harry to the head girl/boy room, and others to their dormitories.
