Disclaimer: Harry Potter is my property. I was the first person to think up the idea and JKR was at my house when she took my manuscript and stole the story from me...any one actually buying this? lol. Hope not, I'm just trying to liven up this Disclaimer! Ahem, for your information, Harry Potter is definitely NOT mine!
A.N I am so so sorry for not updating, the fanfiction site wouldn't let me download any documents or edit them, even yelling, screaming, bashing the keyboard and throwing tantrums didn't get it to work. But now, finally I can do it! Woo hoo! Here we are the next chapter.
Neville looked between the two of them and awkwardly said "beensprout" to the fat lady and entered the common room through the portraight hole, Harry and Ginny followed but bumped into each other as they tried to climb in at the same time.
They laughed nervously and motioned for the other to pass.
"Oh this is silly" Ginny snapped after a few minutes of this.
Harry laughed too as he relaxed a little.
"What's wrong with us anyway? We're still friends right?" she carried on.
"Yeah, yeah we are" Harry said, feeling a little disapointed. He signaled for Ginny to go through and she did, Harry followed letting his smile disappear as he thought about Ginny.
The room was filled with noisy griffindor students as they crowded around the fire and chattered to each other.
Ginny turned around briefly to give Harry a smile before dissapearing up the stairs towards the girl's dormatries.
Harry sighed and stood there when Ron and Hermione appeared followed by a croud of first year Griffindors, through the portraight hole.
"Girls dormatories to the left, Boys to the right, now off you go" Hermione said to the first years, she eyed Ron, who was yawning, he saw the look on her face and coughed.
"Er right, Night everyone" he said gruffly then he smiled innocently at Hermione who huffed and with a small smile at Harry she walked the length of the common room and hurried up the stair case towards the Girls Dormatories.
Ron watched her go with a mixture of disapointment and disbelief. He looked at Harry slowly. "She always gives me a kiss goodnight, what's got into her?" he asked.
Harry shrugged and together they walked through the noisy common room and made their way to the stair case. Harry suddenly felt exhausted and couldn't wait to crawl into his four poster bed and relax. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
Harry was the first to wake the following morning. He was so tired that he forgot to draw the curtains on his four poster bed, so the sunlight shone through the window waking Harry in the early hours of the morning.
Harry sat up and rubbed his eyes, Neville's usual snores filled the air and Ron's heavey breathing acted as an accompliment. Dean and Seamus' cutains were closed and Harry guessed they were asleep. He crept out of bed, tip toed to the window and poured a glass of water for himself.
He looked out at the grounds with a sigh of satisfaction, he was finally home again. Far off near the gates Harry could just make out two very large beasts, he supposed that they were the dragons Ron and Hermione had told him about on the train.
Suddenly questions filled Harry's mind and he was overcome as he thought about all of the mysteries. Who would look after the dragon's whileHagrid took his classes?
Why was Remus Lupin at Hogwarts?
How on Earth would Dumbledore find time to teach Defence Against The Dark Arts and deal with his Headmaster duties AND the Order?
Dissatisfied that he couldn't alone find any answers Harry turned away and frowned at Ron's four poster bed. Then he shrugged, perhaps everything will be clear at breakfast. Proffessor McGonagol would give out the time tables afterall, and perhaps he could talk to Remus...
"Are you alright Harry? You look awful!" Hermione said after she asked him to hand her the milk jug. Harry sighed and waved a hand a side as if nothing was wrong and handed her the milk.
"Didchuavnyadeamsastight?" he said as he sprayed the table with Toast and cereal. Hermione and Harry jumped back and Hermione proceeded to roll her eyes and mutter "Scurgify" and the table was clean again. Ron swallowed.
"Did you have any bad dreams tonight?" he asked again looked concerned. Harry shook his head. No he hadn't even had normal dreams.
Proffessor McGonagal reached the Griffindor table and handed the time tables. Harry looked down at his and noticed that there were far less subjects he was studying but far more classes than usual.
"Great" Ron said as he looked from his time table to Harry's. "We're in all the same classes! Oh and look- we even get study lessons, this is gonna be such an easy year!" Ron said as the owl post arrived. Hermione pursed her lips as she looked between Ron who was stretching in a relaxed manner to Harry who was suddenly grinning dispite himself.
"I think you're both forgetting something" she said severly. Ron looked baffled for a moment but then his eyes widened and he looked anxiously at Harry.
"She's right, we've got Quidditch again and you're captain. That means you can shove me off the team" he said in mock worry. Harry laughed. But Ron suddenly turned serious.
"What's the matter?" Harry asked as he saw his troubled face. " You don't seriously think I would do that do you?" Ron looked far away.
"What if I mess up again, I've played hardly any Quidditch all summer"
"-But you'll get better during practices!"
"-I'm Rubbish!"
"NEWTs!" Hermione screamed suddenly. Her face was almost hysterical. Harry and Ron stared at her. It seemed like time had stopped and Harry's heart had stopped beating.
How could he have forgotten about NEWTs? Slowly everything started to go back into function in his brain. Ron however looked lamely at Hermione and had paled.
Satisfied with this response Hermione smiled grimly. "There you are worrying about Quidditch when this is the begining of out NEWTs. This year is going to be worse than OWL year. Much worse." She said coldly at the two of them.
She looked at her watch. "Now if you don't mind, we have Defence Against the Dark Arts first lesson and I think we should go and get out bags." she stood up and Harry and Ron watched her walk away in stunned silence.
Finally Ron turned to Harry, face pale, eyes wide and mouth slightly open. "You don't think she really mean't that do you? That its going to be worse?" he said in a weak voice.
Harry didn't reply he was too busy thinking about what she said. He looked down at his time table. It was indeed Defence Against the Dark Arts first lesson, and he did not want to be late for that."Come on" he muttered to Ron and they both dashed out of the hall following Hermione's footsteps.

Next Chapter Preview (I'm doing this because it won't be out for a week)
"Goodmorning everyone!" Dumbledore exclaimed with open arms as he smiled at the class. Harry and Ron beamed at eachother.
"Books away, you won't be needing them this lesson, today I'm going to teach you something Uncle Alfie taught me when I was your age, which I daresay, was a few years ago" he added with a twinkle in his eye. The class laughed lightly...
"Harry! HARRY POTTER! Look everyone! IT'S THE CHOSEN ONE!"
"Er- you better run" Ron said as he gave the crowd of first years who were running in his direction a strange look. Harry nodded and swung round and ran in the other direction...
"Remus! Why are you at school?" Harry asked curiously, he was bursting to know all week. Remus sighed, looked around and closed the door.
"Alright Harry" he began seriously " What I'm about to tell you is top secret. You musn't tell anyone - not even Ron and Hermione" Harry swallowed but nodded. Why musn't Ron and Hermione know?
Harry lay there trying to fall asleep, but no luck. Neville's snores filled the air and Harry knew that there was no way he would fall asleep tonight. Suddenly an idea sprung to his mind. He dashed out of bed and crept to his trunk, opened it and pulled out the large silvery basin.
It was time to face Sirius and his father again...
So until next time...REVIEW!
