Bare with me I have no idea how to double space. I'll have it down by the 30th chapter _
OWL POST:
Harry and Hermoine started for the Great Hall. Harry stopped in their common room.
"Hey my school supplies!"
"One of the house elf's must have put them here." Hermoine said uninterested.
"Yeah I'm glad I don't have to worry about them."
"Why didn't you get them before the term started?" she said exasperatedly
"I wasn't sure if I was coming back..."
"Oh, well I'm glad you did." Her voice picked up "C'mon I'm hungry lets go."
They got to the great hall and saw most students were done eating and were chatting away. Their schedules hadn't been passed out yet. And it looked like owl post hadn't arrived. Harry spotted Neville sitting with Hannah at the Gryffindor table and was very glad to see familiar faces.
"Hey look! Let's go sit by Neville." Hermoine pointed excitedly.
"Lets."
"Good morning Neville, Hannah. Glad to see you returned to finish your education." Hermoine grinned
"Yeah, I was offered to be an auror, but I'll do that after I graduate." Neville said sheepishly.
" Do you want to be an auror Neville?" Harry asked. He had considered being one but he wasn't sure he wanted to be in that lifestyle again.
Neville blushed, he wasn't used to attention.
"He wants to be a Herbology Professor." Hannah spoke up.
"Is that so Neville? I think that's great. You always excelled in Herbology." Hermoine replied with a mouth full of toast.
"Oh the mail's here!" Hannah seemed excited. "I can't wait to read 'Witch Weekly' " She said sheepishly
"I haven't read the daily prophet, oh good here comes one my way." Hermoine was ready for her mail.
Nobody expected 50 owls all dropping letters on Harrys lap. The whole room stared at Harry.
"Whoa Harry." Neville said surprised.
More owls came in dropping 20 or so letters on Nevilles lap. Hermoine got some as well. But Harry seemed like he had at least a hundred.
"Oh here's one from Ron." Hermoine said as she read her letter. "Well Ron's as creatively expressive as always." She scowled." "Was he more explicit in yours? Mine only says hi, tells me he's fine, working at the ministry, and enjoying not going back to school."
Harry had to dig in his growing pile for Ron's. "He says the same thing in mine." Harry didn't mention Ron had asked him to take care of Hermoine for him. Who sent all these letters he wondered. He picked one up. Fan mail. They were all fan mail. People congratulating him, parents thanking him for making Hogwarts a safe place again. He found one from Molly Weasley.
" Dear Harry,
I'm so glad you decided to further your education. Your parents are so proud. I'm proud of you too dear. I wish Ron was like you sometimes. He spends most of his day at the ministry but the rest is very unproductive. Anyway send us your regards. If I don't hear back from you this time I will send you a Howler! I can't stand another day not hearing from you.! Enjoy these pies dear."
Harry decided he would reply later. He did not want to receive a Howler from her. What was he going to do with all this fan mail though?
"Have you both got fan mail as well?" He asked.
"Mine is mostly family telling me how proud they are of me but some is fan mail. It's strange." Neville sighed
Hermoine wasn't too pleased either. "Most of these are fan mail, but some of these are magazines asking me to be featured. Even witch weekly!"
"I'm so jealous! You should do it Hermoine! You can be a role model to young girls so they can be studious like you!" Hannah abbot sighed dreamily.
"I'll see. I'm more interested in our schedules. Harry please! Get these letters somewhere they're cluttering up the table!" Hermoine huffed.
"I don't know what to do with them! I don't want to throw them away. That's rude!" Harry was getting angry even though he knew he should be flattered.
"Maybe you and Hermoine can go put them in your love nest." Someone said nastily. Harry turned. Ginny had said it. He was shocked.
"Excuse me Ginny? What on earth are you going on about?" Hermoine stood up.
"Well its true you two get your own dormitory don't tell me nothing goes on there." Ginny had stood up and her tone was surprisingly scathing.
"I don't know what has been going on in your head Ginny but-" Hermoine was interrupted
"Is there a problem here?" they turned around. A professor they had never seen was standing behind them ominously.
"Well?" She said.
