Flashback

"Mr. Potter I know things have been hard on you. Especially sense the war ended... but I do think you need time especially with your magic acting up so much on it's own. Even if I could help you should at least take it slow this year."

"I know I know" Harry said. "It's just.... how do I put it..... I've never been able to put it at ease easily.. and how am I supposed to continue classes without it?"

He'd soon be heading back to hogwarts and he honestly doesn't wanna think about what'd happen if a spell went wrong. For three months he's been trying to figure it out. Even with the help of some medwizs as well.

"It's different for every wizard Mr Potter. You've mentioned that this has happened before and your magic settled eventually as well then."

"That's the thing it's never been this much out of control. Even if I manage to the other times I have no idea how to again."

"That's why I said time. Mr. Potter give it time you did drain alot of magic that day not to mention survived the an unforgivable twice. I'm sure it will come back to you in due time and, as for school I'd suggest trying owl your Headmistress in advance so she'll be prepared."

"Alright..."

As much as this times been stressful Harry decides to go along and send an letter to his Headmistress.

Pov Harry (present day)

Coming back to hogwarts wasn't at all what he expected but, then again what was their to expect. Walking into the empty halls felt so surreal. Especially knowing what took place there, but it was nice to have some peace for one year. With Hermione and Ron by his side he couldn't really complain.

When they arrived to the great hall they separated to different tables Hermione and Ron choosing to sit at the Gryffindor table. While he decided to sit at the table specifically reserved for 8th years. It seemed like not many choose to sit there expect fot Neville Longbottom, Michael Corner and Susan Bones. It seemed like those at the table really didn't want to interact with other house mates. Or even with eachother they all stayed closed off to themselves.

When Headmistress Mcgonagall caught everyone's attention she called up all the new students and get them all sorted. She began to speak of those who volunteered as Professor for this year and how she expect things would work for each year and speaking warning students of the restricted sections.

As he tried to listen to the announcement he couldn't help but notice two students at the end of the 8th year table. One being Blaise Zabini and Draco Malfoy. They seemed even more closed off from the others. Malfoy looking as if he wasn't doing well and Zabini looking generally concerned for him. And that shocked me. 'Sense when did Zabini show any concern for anyone. And Malfoy! He's never acted like this before he...' he found myself more focused on him then he'd like to admit before the announcements began. 'so many questions....'

When we were all dismissed to our houses Professor Mcgonagall asked all 8 years to follow her out to the hall.

"8th years your dormitories will be right by the infirmary. I can trust that you will all be civil regardless of which side your were on in the war?" She stared them all down with most reluctantly nodding "Good. Now you will be attending classes with 7th years from here on out. Please make sure you are in your dormitories the same times others students are. I make no expectations for you all sense your older. Now go get settled in and rest well for this will be difficult for us all."
