Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Neville took their seats with the rest of the Gryffindors at the Gryffindor table. They chatted with Dean and Seamus (whose mother let him go back to school) until they were interrupted by Professor McGonagall. Harry had almost forgotten about Dumbledore dying with all that went on over the summer. He looked over at Ron, Hermione, and Ginny and could tell by the looks on their faces that they had forgotten up till now as well.

"Your attention please." She said and the room got silent. Harry thought she looked much older and worn out. "Thank you, as you all know, I am your new headmaster," she took a break remembering that this meant Dumbledore was no longer there. "Before I bring in the first years I would like to introduce the new Potions teacher, Professor Amadahy." A thin, pretty, younger which stood up and bowed as the students applauded, many were the boys. Ron leaned over to Harry.

"Oy, I'm never missing that class." Hermione glared at him. He ignored her

"I wonder why Slughorn's not here this year. I'm gonna miss him, but she a hell of a lot better than him and defiantly much better than Snape." Harry said then feeling a sudden hatred for the man. He had killed Dumbledore, Snape's the reason he's dead. His thoughts were interrupted by McGonagall once again speaking.

"Also I'd like to introduce our new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Delano." Many people applauded though not as loud, because he was plump and had a uni-brow. He too stood up and bowed. "Welcome professors. Allright now let me get the first years, now be nice and don't scare them George, Fre…oh well they're not here anymore, but well that goes for the lot of you then." And with that she stepped down from the staff table and opened the giant doors leading out of the great hall. Several minutes later she was back and the sorting began. It seemed ages ago since Harry, Ron Hermione and even Ginny were sorted, they were seventh years now, the highest grade, and what's even better there was no Draco Malfoy to bother him, he looked over at the Gryffindor table just to make sure and he was right. Crabe, Goyle but no bleach blonde bastard to ruin his year. Of course the fact that Draco was out with Snape and Voldemort and the rest of the Death Eaters, and the fact that Dumbledore was dead and he had five more horcruxes to find with out Dumbledore's help made Draco not being there seem like nothing. He looked at the front and saw that there were only three kids left to sort. He sat up and woke up a snoring Ron next to him.

"Oy, Ron," Ron woke up with a snort, some heads turned but mainly the majority were watching a small, blonde haired girl be placed into Ravenclaw.

"Is it over?" Ron whispered.

"Almost two kids left." Harry replied.

"Good I'm starving." Once McGonagall had given the speech about the Forbidden Forest and Filch and everything the feast began. Ron dug right in.

"Seriously Ron, you just had so much candy on the train, it hasn't even been and hour." Hermione said.

"Oh give me a break Hermione, it's not like I'm gonna listen to you ever." Ron said with a mouth stuffed with chicken. Harry and Ginny laughed. Hermione glared at him and then said.

"Allright but don't blame me for when you're old and have to roll around to get around." And she went right back to nibbling her food.

"At least I'll have some meat on me, Ms. Eats half a pea and is full." Ron spat back at her. Hermione was about to open her mouth to continue the argument when Ginny butted in.

"Look at you guys, fighting like an old married couple." Ron and Hermione turned and faced her glaring at her, "You're still not over that? Harry was kidding god!" Suddenly Lavender walked by, Ron watched her as she passed him.

"Why'd I break up with her? She's so…hot!" Ron said.

"Well because she became clingy and weird, do you remember the Christmas gift?" Harry said snapping Ron out of his daze.

"OH yeah," Ron said looking away from Lavender and went back to eating the food. Hermione rolled her eyes. After dessert Ron and Hermione got up and led the first years to the Gryffindor common room when they left Harry and Ginny stood up.

"Are you guys coming?" Harry asked Neville, Dean and Seamus.

"Nah we'll meet you up there Harry." Dean answered looking at the new Potions teacher.

"I see." Harry said and he and Ginny walked out of the great hall and towards the common room.

"Does it feel weird to be back?" Ginny asked Harry as they began to climb the stairs.

"Er, kind of, you?"

"Yeah, a lot 'cause now I realize that nest year you'll…you guys will be gone." Ginny stammered.

"Yeah I didn't realize that." Harry said, he sighed and looked at all the portraits hanging on the wall waving to him, he smiled. He would miss this place next year.

"Are you glad you decided to come this year instead of immediately going out to find the horcruxes?" Ginny asked Harry as they came to the fat lady's picture.

"Password?" She asked in her dull voice.

"Razi" Harry said, the portrait swung open and they stepped in. "Yeah, I'm glad I came this year." Harry answered, they climbed the stairs towards the dorms. They reached the girls.

"I am too." Ginny smiled "Good Night Harry." She stepped inside the door. Harry turned and continued to his dorm where he met Ron.

"Hey Harry, I was just thinking about this being our last year here." Ron said lying on his bed looking at the ceiling. Harry plopped down on his and did the same.

"Yeah…me too." Harry said going over in his head his conversation with Ginny.

"Well I'm beat." Ron said with a yawn "Night" Ron hopped under his covers and rolled over.

"G' night." Harry replied and he got dressed and got under the covers as Dean, Neville and Seamus walked in. He drifted to a sleep.

The next day they woke up early because they had classes.

"Ron, Come on we have classes in an hour." Harry said for his third attempt to get Ron up.

"Why should I get up?" Ron groaned.

"We have potions first." Harry said. Ron jumped up.

"I NEVER thought those four words would make me go to class." Ron laughed.

"Allright, I'm going to eat see you in Potions." Harry said heading to the great hall. Later Harry met up with Ron outside of Potions class. When they headed in they found many of the boys (and Hermione) sitting in the front of the class so they had to take their regular seat in the back of the classroom. However for once they weren't happy about it. Once everyone was there Professor Amadahy entered the classroom.

"Good Morning class!" She said the boys (and Hermione sat up)

"You'd think she was a lesbian." Ron whispered to Harry.

"Allright first thing, it's too dark in this classroom." She waved her wand and windows appeared along with light shinning in, a new experience for Potions class. "We can't have any of you sleeping during my class." She said cheerfully.

"How could we with a teacher that looks like that." Ron said quietly to Harry.

"Much better, so we're going to go around the class and say our names and something about you. I'll start, Hello my name is Professor Amadahy and I have performed with the weird sisters, How about you?" She pointed to Neville. One by one they went around saying their names and something about them until the class was over.

"Oh my, how time flies. See you later everyone." Professor Amadahy waved goodbye to them as the students shuffled out into the dungeon. When they were far enough from ear and eyesight Ron turned to Harry and Hermione.

"I love that class." Ron said.

"I thought it was terrible." Hermione said, "She treated us like babies, we don't get any homework and we don't learn anything."

"Who cares, think of the positives." Ron said "We have no homework we don't learn anything, and we have a freaking amazingly hot teacher with the most awesome ass."

"RON!"

"Yeah I'd like some fries with that shake."

"HARRY! Oh I don't believe the two of you!" she stormed ahead leaving Harry and Ron to talk about there new favorite class.
