The First Few Days Without Power
"So What classes do you two have?", Harry asked Ron and Hermione.
"Well I have DADA first, then Care of Magical Creatures right before lunch and then Double Arithmacy", Hermione told them.
"I have DADA first, Care of Magical Creatures right before lunch and Double Potions this afternoon", Ron said.
"Well I have DADA and Care of Magical Creatures with you two and then Double Potions with Ron this afternoon", Harry told his friends.
"We have DADA with the Hufflepuffs and Care of Magical Creatures with the Ravenclaws", Harry said.
"Oh and look as usual Potions with the Slytherins", Ron sneered.
"Well it shouldn't be that bad since Malfoy won't be jeering us anymore with the rest of the scum bags", Harry said.
"Hey Hermione did you send Malfoy a letter with our responses yet?", Ginny asked who had just come over from sitting with her friends.
"No I guess I better go and do that before class", Hermione told the three of them.

Hermione got up to the owlery thinking about using Pig (Rons tiny owl) but then thought that he might be to hyper so she decided to use one of the schools big brown barn owls.
Malfoy,
It's Hermione Granger. I just wanted to let you know that they said yes under one condition. All of us are on a first name basis. Write back and let me know if that is a problem or if it is not a problem.
P.S. They also said you'll have to work for their trust and friendship. Like I told you they would.
Hermione sent the owl off and headed for DADA.

When she got to the classroom the new teacher was greeting everyone outside of the classroom. Hermione met up with Harry and Ron and they picked their usual seats from the past years (which was at the front).
"Hey what's up guys?", Hermione asked.
"Nothing, what about you?", Harry asked her back.
"Nothing I just sent the letter off too Malfoy so he should get it soon", she told Harry and Ron.
"Ok. Do you think he will be up for the first name basis thing though?", Ron asked the other two.
"I dunno, maybe", Harry answered.
"I told him to write me back and let me know if it was a problem or not", Hermione said.
They sat and listened to Professor Wallace's introduction about herself and before they new it the class was over and they had to go outside for Care of Magical Creatures.
"It's not a very a nice day out is it?", Hermione asked them.
"Ya, the clouds are still really dark", Ron replied with a glum look on his face.
"What's wrong with you?", Harry asked him.
"What . . . Oh nothing", Ron said.
"Alright but where's Hagrid 'cuz I don't see him", Harry said with a surprised tone in his voice.
"Remember at the end of last year he told us that he was going to be gone most of this year", Hermione reminded them.
"Oh ya!", Harry and Ron said together.
"Welcome to Care of Magical Creatures, my name is Professor Horton and I will be filling in for Hagrid".
"Well then, this could be fun I guess", Ron retorted.
"Why do you always have to be this way when their is a different teacher?", Hermione snapped.
"Because I don't like new teachers", Ron said.
"Except of course Professor Wallace right?", Hermione said in a nasty tone of voice.
"Bite me", Ron snapped at Hermione.
"Where, when and how hard?", Hermione said just as a joke.
"You can't be serious", Ron said to Hermione in a whisper.
"Ewwww . . . that's so gross, you honestly thought I was serious?", Hermione said in a disgusted tone.
"No I didn't".
"Anyway what time is it?", Harry cut in before Ron and Hermione really got arguing.
"It's 11:48 almost time for lunch", Hermione told Harry.
"Thank Merlin", Ron sighed.
At the end of the lesson Harry, Ron and Hermione were on their way back up to the castle when they saw someone getting the shit kicked out of them.
They ran towards whoever it was realising soon enough that it was Malfoy getting the shit kicked out of him by his ex best friends.
They seen Harry, Ron and Hermione running towards them and they took off.
"Yes", Malfoy managed to gasp.
"What", Hermione said.
All of a sudden Malfoy passed out. Hermione and Harry stayed with Malfoy while Ron ran up to the school to get Professor McGonagall who is now the new Matron of the school plus a Transfiguration teacher.
Professor McGonagall came running down to where Malfoy was passed out. She conjured up a stretcher and put Malfoy on it and then it floated up towards the castle.
A couple of days later the trio went up to the hospital wing to see Malfoy. He was asleep but Professor McGonagall said that he was going to be fine. Later on when Malfoy woke up the trio started to talk to him.
"Are you ok?", Harry asked him.
"I guess", Malfoy replied.
"Right before you passed out you said the word "yes", do you remember why?", Hermione asked him.
"Ya, I was saying yes it was no problem about the first name basis", Malfoy replied.
"Oh ok then", Harry, Ron and Hermione said together.
