Part 5 - New Year with Surprises

Harry and Hermione with the others including those traitors that Harry felt they were now, Ginerva and Ronald No-Name's walked on inside of the castle of Hogwarts, and soon the sorting began, and it ended up with 14 new ravens, 12 slytherins, 15 new hufflepuff and 10 gryffindors.

And after that, Minerva stood up, and smiled before she tinked her glass to bring the hall to silence, and then she said

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts, old students, to our new students, welcome to your first year at Hogwarts. First of all, as always the Forbidden Forest is off-limits to ALL students, only Hagrid and us staff is allowed in there. Secondly, as you most likely expected Albus Dumbledore to be up here to greet us all back, but sadly last school year, after a huge fight with Voldemort (Making most shudders or give out small yells across the hall.) and his Death Eaters, he was killed in the battle. But his death is and was not in vain, as he had huge plans for the future from here on out for us all. And that brings me to the 3rd thing I need to tell you all about. And that is that from this year onwards, there will be no scouts from any Qudditch teams, as they have told us and the Ministry that they are not looking for any replacements of their players for the foreseeable future. So any of you who had plans to do so, has now time to re-think on your future plans. And that is for you who are in your 5th year, to have a conversation with us, Heads of Houses about that part later on.

And Lastly; now it is time to eat, more informations and so forth will come tomorrow."
And with that she waved her hands, and foods with drinks alike brought forward on the table around the hall, and the hall was filled of talking and so forth.

Hermione had a frown still on her face, as Luna came over and sat by Harry's side, to shock of most of the Gryffindor and the whole hall as none knew that the two were even that close friends. Harry gave her cheek a soft kiss, and she smiled as she sat by his side, he wrapped an arm around her waist, and the two ate their dinners and desserts in their own little world.
While Ginerva and other girls were glaring openly at their backs' or rather at Luna's back. Hermione sat gapping, so that Harry took notice and said

"What?" Hermione shook her head, and said

"What about Ginny, Harry?" Harry frowned as he looked up and at her, and said

"Ginerva and I were never dating, Hermione, afterall she drugged me and you by Ronald and Molly No-Name's for their own greed and hunger for power, money and whatelse wrong about their ambition to get us both in bed with them. I don't like Ginny before nor now either. She has to give up that dream, and move on with her life and same goes for Ronald. As neither are my friends, and will NOT be welcome in Sirius and Remus' home either, so if you want to stay friends with them despite knowing what they put us through, then you have to see them at their new place with their mother. But also, Hermione, they were my cousins before the fiasco, and you know Incest is not only Illegal but gross that it still is happening in this world, to keep lines pure as possible. And I am with Luna on my own accord, since last year's beginning, for she not only gets me in my own grief, but she is one hell amazing girl who doesn't give a shit that I am famous or rich, and should be with Ginerva for her mother told her since childhood that she was going to marry me weither I myself wanted to or not, she would get me. But that is not how love or anything else works, Hermione. And same goes for yourself with your crush on Viktor, and also one on Ronald who drugged you willingly on his own side, to get you to notice him and forget your crush on Viktor and me. I know you had one on me, but all I saw and can still see is a somewhat friend and now sister as we live under same roof until we are both off age."

And with that he turned back his attention to Luna, who gave him a smile and nod to that he had done his piece to confront Hermione for once, and maybe this will make her to wake up and smell the bad roses around herself for once. Others who had heard him talk, were in shock of what he revealed and therefore rumours began to swirl. Hermione sat in shock of what he had said and revealed to everyone around them, and she was very red in her face, weither it was of shame or anger none knew.

Minerva nodded as she agreed on what Harry had told Hermione and was proud of her Lion, and when Harry looked up and over at her, she gave him a small discreet smile, that he returned. Severus was just proud of him aswell, as he could see so much more of Lily in him there, and that made him proud to see that he was nothing like his father had been at the same age as Harry now was.

After dinner and desserts were eaten, and taken away, Minerva told the Prefects to take care of their 1st years' to show them to the common room, and then it was Ravens' turn to patrol for the first night back, and the Ravens' prefects both 5 and 6th, were happy to do so without any complaints.

Everyone now had heard the rumours about what Harry had revealed, and were expecting quite an explosion in the tower of Gryffindors' and the aftermath would be heard the very next day for sure. But Harry and still pissed or ashamed Hermione showed their 10 new Gryffindors' the way to their common room, and the rules aswell where girls and boys respectively were sleeping, then after that, Harry sat down on a chair, not ready just yet to go to bed, and he also expected a fight or more yelling from Hermione aswell the two traitors that he called them by in his head, but would be publically known as such very soon.
