Terrible Trouble
Ron started to hear Hermione and Harry trying to get his attention. They were still in the Great Hall but Neville was nowhere to be seen. "Hey Ron for bloody sakes are you listing?" He heard Hermione say. "Yeah" Ron finally got out. "Geeze mate its only Neville, it's not like its Malfoy or anything." Harry said to him. "Well I don't have anything against Neville, it's just it was quite a shock to me" Ron said to them. "Okay good because Neville is hiding, he thinks your going to beat him up or something" Harry told him. "Well if it was Malfoy I'd definitely beat him up but I couldn't do that to Neville" Ron said taking a bite of his sandwich. "Yeah, he's pretty innocent" Hermione said then sighed. "What are we going to do now?" she asked. "Well we could go for another walk?" Harry suggested. "Good idea Ron agreed and they spend the rest of the afternoon walking the grounds, around the lake and sitting under their favourite tree.
Ron saw Neville for the second time that day at dinner and he was really scared and shaking as Ron approached him. "Neville I-" Ron began but got cut off by Neville's whimpering. "Okay Ron I'm really sorry, don't hit me please, please." He was covering his head like he was ready to block any punch that Ron would throw at him. "Neville its okay, I'm not mad I just came over to tell you that if I had to pick anyone to go out with my sister it would be you" Neville stopped his cowering and smiled at Ron. "You serious?" he asked. "Yes Neville" Ron said. "Well what about Harry?" Neville asked. "Well they broke up didn't they?" Ron said. And then sat back down with Harry and Hermione.
They finished eating and were heading up to their common room for a night of relaxing before the first day tomorrow. So they enjoyed the last day before the Horrid classes came and took over their lives.
The next day down in the Great Hall, while everyone was eating Professor Magonigall came around with blank timetables and tapped them with her wand and the specialized classes of each student appeared on the sheet. When she reached Harry, Ron and Hermione she was mumbling to herself. "well if they are going to be Aurors they defiantly need transfiguration and potions…hmm" she did Ron's first and then Harry's second. When she handed it to him she said to him, "mind your potions mark doesn't slip potter." They both had the exact same courses and all of them were required if they were to become auror's. She actually had a talk with Hermione though. "So Miss. Granger, you want to be an Auror but also a healer?" Hermione nodded. "Well I think I can fit all of the classes in, but you wont have as many free blocks as Mr. Potter or Mr. Weasley over here, is that fine with you?" she asked. "yes Professor" Hermione said and Professor Magonigall tapped another blank timetable with her wand and all of her classes appeared on the sheet. She compared it to Harry's and all of their classes were the same except that where most of the free blocks were for them there were other classes in Hermione's, she did get some free blocks though, or else that would have been cruel.
Hermione looked at her timetable and she had Arithmacy and Harry and Ron already had a free block. She ate quickly, said a rushed goodbye and hurried off to her first class.
After their first block free, Harry and Ron had Herbology accompanied by Hermione and the Hufflepuff's and taught by Professor Sprout. Professor Sprout spent most of the class going over what she expected from everyone and what they were going to learn this year. Overall it was an ok class, Hermione had won them ten points so it wasn't a total loss. Their next classes were Potions with Snape, and then Transfiguration with Magonigall and after that Hermione had to go to ancient runes but then had one break period with them which was the last of the day so it was pretty nice, they did most of their homework in that period with Hermione's help of course.
They went to bed relatively early, and when they headed up most people were still in the common room desperately trying to finish their homework for the next day's lessons.
