Chapter 2: Second Arrivals
Harry stepped out of the thestral driven carriage he'd gotten into to reach the School and stared up at Hogwarts. It seemed like yesterday that he'd been here.
"Harry, Dumbledore says to sit at the Head Table when we enter." Hermione instructed him. "Same for you guys, she told Ginny, Ron, who had just climbed out of Harry's carriage, and to her fiancé, who'd just gotten out of hers.
They entered the Entrance Hall and stared around. It was three years since any of them had been stood there. The five entered the Great Hall and sat at the teachers table. Harry sat next to Minerva, who was conveniently seated far away from Snape. Snape was glaring at him like Harry had torched his house down or something.
The First Years were sorted into their respective houses and all the students were seated, so Dumbledore stood up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is good to see so many happy, bright faces in front of me again. I am pleased to welcome into our mist here at Hogwarts, not one, or two, but five new teachers this year. Proffessors Weasley, Malfoy, Potter, Granger, and another Weasley. Please make them feel welcomed here. Let the Feast begin!" He sat down and magically thousands of plates of food and goblets of drink appeared. The teachers and students dug in. "Draco, Hermione, Ginny, Harry, and Ron, follow me after the Feast and I'll show you to your new quarters." Dumbledore said, after taking a gulp of pumpkin juice. "Proffessors McGonagall and Flitwick will take your students to their dormitories today for you."
A slight while later the meal ended and the former students were shown to their rooms, which were all across or beside each other down a teachers-only hallway on the 5th floor. Ron, Harry, then Ginny on one side, Draco and Hermione on the other. Dumbledore left and Harry set to exploring his room. It was extremely large and luxuriant compared to the dormitories, and those were like a palace to him as a kid, considering his closet/room at the Dursleys. It overlooked the Quidditch Pitch with a big red velvet bay view window, had a four-poster king-sized, some other stuff, like an ebony desk, it was all decorated in Gryffindor colours, and had an adjoining bathroom with a bath bigger than the one in the Prefects Bathroom.
He walked out to see his friends waiting for him.
"We thought we'd roam around again, for old times sake." Draco informed him. They spent the rest of the day wandering around talking about their new jobs and how good it was too be back at Hogwarts again.
(A/N: You must remember that Draco is really nice now, he has been freed from his fathers evil influence, and him and Harry are like, besties. Sorry the chapter are so small, they seem bigger to me than they actually are for some reason. Maybe because I type big.)
