The New Headmistress

The following day, Harry woke up exceptionally late. Ron was beside him. He had start talking to him the moment Harry opened his eyes. "You're early mate. Must have been the aftermath of that kiss. You and here really got in going on. You were muttering her name in your sleep." "I was?" asked Harry, looking surprised. "Yeah mate. Don't worry man. I must have been the only one who heard it." Harry grinned. He was still thinking of the kiss he and Cho shared. It was still a mystery to Harry how he had fallen for Cho. Again. He thought he was over her. They had barely talked for almost 1 year. But everytime Harry thought about the kiss, all the mystery doesn't seem to matter anymore.

The remaining days of their holidays had been rather plain. Harry was busy writing to Cho. Hermione and Ron were spending most of their time together. Fred and George were busy with joke shop. Ginny had been surprisingly busy sending letters, to whom none of them knows. Thankfully, Mr and Mrs Weasley had went to get their books at Diagon Alley for them instead of them having to go by themselves. Harry was grateful to them for he did not feel like going anywhere other than Hogwarts, which he felt was his home.

At last, the day Harry had been waiting for arrived.Ginny, Harry, Ron and Hermione get themselves ready to go to Kings Cross Station. Mr Weasley drove them to the station in the Ministry provided cars. As soon as they reached there, Mr Weasley gave each of them a hug and then parted. Unlike previous years, this has been a very quiet departure. Usually, they would have everyone at the station to wish them goodbye but this year,it had just been Mr Weasley sending them off. But Harry didn't care much. This is his final year at Hogwarts. It could even be his last days of his life. Harry had his purpose for coming back. That is to defeat Lord Voldermort.

Surprisingly, there were quite a lot of students returning to Hogwarts. They could spot almost all their friends. The only noticeable absence is Seamus, the Patil twins, Lavender Brown and Draco Malfoy, as expected. Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione make themselves comfortable in a compartment and were later joined by Neville and Luna. They busied themselves by playing exploding snaps until the train reached Hogwarts one and a half hour later.

They made their way to the entrance hall, only to find themselves in shocked as they enter it. There were no banners of the four houses, no four long tables belonging to each table but many separate tables, each seating a maximum of ten peoples. Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna find themselves one table. The remaining four seats were taken by Ernie Macmillian, Justin Finch-Flinchey, Dennis and Colin Creevey. They helped themselves to the feast before Professor McGonall, the new headmistress, interrupted them with the usual start of term speech.

Everyone was listening intently to what Professor Mcgonall was saying, hoping for answers to the sudden change to the school. "As you all had probably noticed, we had decided to do away with the usual four banners but instead replace it with one huge banners of one colour, which is red. You would have noticed too that the usual four house tables were gone. We now have many separate tables that are able to seat ten people. I know you all are wondering why the change. I have all the answers with me. So please listen carefully. Crabbe, Goyle, I hope you wouldn't mind if you put down your food and listen to me for a while. You can continue eating later on. Now where was I? Oh yes, but before I come to that, I would like to introduce to you the new defence against dark arts teacher, Professor Kingsley." "Isn't he a member of the order?" asked Harry. "Yes he is. I wonder what sort of jinx will drive him away from the job this year," said Ron. Professor Mcgonall cleared her throat before continuing, "we decided upon the changes because in the light of Professor Dumbledore's death, we hoped to remain as united as he would have wanted us to be. I believe that this way, there would be no differences among all of you, for you are free to eat with whoever you want. We hope that this action will bring you all closer by getting to know each other that you rarely speak to. You still sleep, attend classes and play Quidditch among your houses. Other than that, you are to treat each and everyone of you sitting here equally. With that, I end my speech. You can choose to eat or go up to your dormitories."

"Wow! Isn't that amazing? Now we can choose to eat with anyone we want." Harry overhead Dean Thomas saying. Harry and Ron preferred to take this change in a negative manner. "What's so amazing? Imagine eating with Slytherins. Or worse, we share the same tables as Crabbe and Goyle. Before we knew it, they would have finished the food," said Ron.
