The Letters
Chapter 4
They had opened the doors once again and looked around. The family wern't there, but every single student was sitting on the chairs at there house tables. Professor McGonaggall had ran to them and she explained "Hello, if you wouldn't mind could you all sit at the Gryffindor table, I have importent messages for all of you". They had nodded and sat were Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas were.
"Hey guys" said Seamus and Dean (But he wasn't looking at Ginny probally of the break-up) they all greeted everyone in Gryffindor and stopped when McGonagall had tapped her glass with a spoon. She had looked around and waited for everyone to be quiet and said " If you would all listen to me, I would like to tell you all that Hogwarts will be opening once again (Everyone had cheered) and I am going to be the Hogwarts headmistress and anouther surprise for the students taht were 7th year last year that if you would like to redo your 7th year again because of the incident with the Carrows and Professor Snape--. Professor McGonagall had stopped talking because Harry had stood up and said "The Carrows might of been a trouble, but Professor Snape wasn't evil. Everyone had looked at Harry and then turned back to Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall had nodded and Harry had sat back down and then McGonagall had talked once again " So I will be calling the names and you will tell me if your going to stay or not".
Everyone had exchanged looks and stopped once again by McGonagalls voice " Hermione Granger will you be redoing your 7th year or leaving?". Hermione had looked at Harry and the rest and said "Yes I would like to do my 7th year". " Excellent...Ronald Weasley?". "Um...i'm not sure...actually I would have to say no". Hermione and the rest smiled at Ron and then McGonagall had said "Harry Potter?". Everyone had looked at Harry, probally hoping for Harry to stay. Harry had thought and thought, but he was interrupted because 3 owls had hooted in and dropped a letter at Ron, Harry and Neville.
The three looked at each other and Harry opened his first and read through. "I would have to say no" Harry had answered after he had finished the letter. Ron had looked at the letter too and nodded. Hermione had took the letter off Ron and read the letter Neville had jumped out of his seat and said "Nor will I be staying...guess what everyone I'm going to become an AUROR". Everyone clapped and whoed at Neville and they had now knew that Harry and Ron had got the same letter and they clapped at them too.
An hour later everyone had replied their questions. Every 7th year had accepted so everyone was going to redo their 7th year except Ron, Harry and Neville. As soon as McGonagall had finished talking, food had appeared in front of them and they all started eating.
They were all talking and Hermione had shrieked "Ooh I can't wait to see you practise...all the new spells and everything". Ron had grunted because he would have to practise and practise. When the feast had finished everyone had dissapeared on the spot by apparating (all the under-age wizards and witch's had side-allong apparated with someone else). All the kids had waved good-bye to Harry, Ron and Neville. Hermione, Ginny, Ron and Harry were still sitting on the seats while all the professor's had ran up to them and hugged all of them good-bye. Luna, Seamus, Dean and Neville had said good-bye to them all and apparated on the spot.
Ginny was now 17 so they all were about to apparate straight away after there friends, but Hermione had said "Why don't we stay here tonight in the Room of Requirment and practise the stuff you have to learn?". They all had nodded and Ron had sent a letter to the family saying they were staying and they all headed towards one of Harry's favourite room.
Ginny had stopped them all and said "Wait, could we still go in their becuase of that fire you said Crabbe had sent, and won't his body still be there". Hermione had stood up and said "No, becuase we won't be going the same compartment as he was". They all walked to the room once again.
