Enjoy all my buddies, 😆
Harry sat down and stared out the window at the sky, it started to darken, and then a spark of white lightening flashed rite in front of his eyes. Ginny was worried about him so she moved closer and grabbed his hand. He noticed and looked at her and said, “I’m fine.” She nodded and kissed his cheek, then let go of his hand.
Neville and Luna on the other hand were staring at each other deeply. Then all of a sudden Dean came in the compartment and looked at Ginny and said, “Could, I have a word?” She nodded and walked out.
“Wonder what he wants to talk to her about,” Harry thought. Then a few minutes later Ginny came in with Hermione hands on her shoulders, steering her next to Harry, and Ron coming in fuming mad, his face brick red.
“What happened, Ginny,” Harry asked, wanting to know. She just burst out crying, into his chest. He held her and stroked her hair, then he looked in the window and saw Dean. “Excuse me,” he told Ginny, and he took her off his chest and let Hermione help her. He walked to the door of the compartment, and looked at Dean, he wasn’t at the congratulatory party for Harry, so he had no idea that Harry was Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
“What did you do to Ginny,” Harry asked, while pointing a finger at Dean. People were now watching the conversation that they were having including Ginny and the others.
“I asked her out and she said ‘No’, but I wanted to know why so I kept on asking then I shoved her into the compartment door,” Dean replied. Harry took his glowing hands levitated Dean off the floor and into the air.
“I don’t know if you’ve heard Dean, but I am the heir of Godric Gryffindor, and I am the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, so I’d advise you to stay away from Ginny, or I will give detention, understand?” Harry asked, his temper rising higher and higher. Dean nodded a little scared, and with that Harry let the levitating charm go and he walked back into the compartment that held Ginny.
“Brilliant, Harry. That was the best display of punishment I have ever seen,” Ron shouted, while clapping. Ginny ran up to Harry and kissed him, thanking him, too. Harry put Ginny in his lap and then fell asleep, while she stroked his hair.
Hermione, Ron, and Ginny woke Harry up, with Ginny saying, “Come on, Harry we’re here.” Harry woke up instantly, and got out of the compartment. He made his way out of the compartment and off the train, but he held Ginny close incase Dean came. They rode there way to the castle, in the carriages, being pulled by thestrals(sp?). When they got to the castle, Harry left Ginny in the care of Ron and Hermione, and walked through the Great Hall to the head table, he was welcomed by many teachers, amongst them, was Professor Slughorn, his old Potions teacher, he shook his hand then sat down as the 2nd through 7th years, filed their way to their tables. Then Harry saw McGonagall, coming in with the first years and a piece of parchment in her hands.
The hall was quiet and McGonagall called out the first name, “All, Zachary.” A boy with blue, black hair came up, frightened and sat on the stool. McGonagall put the Sorting Hat on him and it shouted, “Hufflepuff,” the table nearest the door cheered, as the boy made his way to his new house.
Next McGonagall called, “Back, Alexandra,” a girl with brown, straight hair came up confident, and sat on the stool, the hat barely touched her head then shouted, “Gryffindor!” The table farthest away from the door erupted in cheers.
As McGonagall made her way down the list the last person was called, “Zane, Ava,” a small girl with blonde straight hair, pulled back in a ponytail, made her way to the stool, she sat down and McGonagall placed the hat on her head. The hat sat there for about two minutes then shouted, “Gryffindor!” Again the table farthest away from the doors erupted in cheers. Then McGonagall called for silence.
Harry had a black cloak on with his hood pulled up, so that no one could see his face. Then McGonagall stated, very loudly, “As you can see that Albus Dumbledore, is not with us anymore, he has passed away, so I am the new Headmistress. But we also have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Mr. Harry Potter.” Harry stood up and removed his hood. The Slytherin table groaned, while the others cheered.
He then sat back down and looked at the Gryffindor table. McGonagall stared at him and said, “Would you care to say a few words, Potter?”
Harry stood up then jumped over the staff table and walked beside McGonagall, and started walking around the hall, quiet at first. Then he stated, “Professor Dumbledore, was the greatest Headmaster this school has ever known. I don’t think we should cry, because he is gone. We should remember what he did, and had done before he died. Now as for his murderer, Snape. I never trusted him from the start of my years here at Hogwarts.” As he pasted Ginny he said, “Dumbledore, always said, ‘Keep you friends and loved ones near you; because Voldemort doesn’t have the power to love,’ so just remember to love, and you can help me defeat him. And remember keep your friends and loved ones close.” And with that he went to sit back at the staff table, but before he got there the whole hall had erupted, in cheer. Harry was glad. He sat back down and McGonagall said that feast had begun.
Harry didn’t eat that much, then McGonagall came to him and asked him a question, “Would you be Head of Gryffindor House this year, Potter?”
Harry replied with, “I’d be glad to Professor.” Then with that McGonagall stood up and the Hall was instantly quiet.
“This year at Hogwarts, will be no different from the others. The Head of the Houses this year will be: Hufflepuff is Professor Flitwick, Ravenclaw is Professor Sprout, Slytherin is Professor Slughorn, and finally Gryffindor is Professor Potter.” McGonagall finished, “you will get your timetables from your head houses tomorrow, now prefects led the children to their new common room.”
With that everyone left. Harry was still sitting down when he felt a giant hand on his shoulder. He instantly knew that it was Hagrid. He turned around to see Hagrid smiling a very broad smile. He and Harry just stood there then Harry said that he should get going, and with that they shook hands and walked off toward their beds.
Harry had a great first nite, he dreamt of Ginny all nite long. When he woke up, he took a shower and got dressed in his black robes. He walked to the Great Hall to find Ginny there. He hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. They walked into the Hall and got breakfast.
Harry sat at the staff table and watched people pour into the hall. He saw Ron and Hermione coming in hand in hand, with Dean and Seamus walking in rite behind them. Dean was giving Ginny an angry stare that she ignored. They five sat together. Hermione and Ron were watching Dean very closely, incase he tried to do what he did on the train again. Harry watched, as more and more students poured in.
Finally, when all the students were in the hall the mail came. As owls swooped down a brownish white owl landed in front of Ginny, “I don’t know who’s this is,” came Ginny’s voice. She took the card from the owls leg and read:
Dear Ginny,
This is a present from me, name it whatever you like.
Love, Harry
Ginny looked at the staff table and saw that Harry had a wide smile on his face. Then Harry stood up and walked to the Gryffindor table and started to hand out timetables.
Harry had the 5th years first for class. He walked to his classroom and saw that the class was already there. It was made up of Gryffindors and Slytherins. He automatically spotted Romilda Vane.
