The Returned

Hogwarts

Harry's POV

"Harry, Harry wake up," I awoke to find Hermione staring down at me. We had been staying in the Burrow, the Dudley's had him away and Hermiones parent where somewhere in Australia I think. "Are you alright," she asked with a worried expression on her face,
"Yeah, I'm fine," I replied wiping some sweat of my forehead with my arm, grabbing my glasses from the bedside table and putting them on.
"I'm surprised that you still get nightmares, the Dark Lord is gone, you shouldn't be able to, should you?" Hermione asked reasonably casually.
I thought about this for a while, she wa right of course, my bad dreams were made by visions from the Dark Lord, but he was gone, so how was I getting these nightmares, from where was I getting these nightmares?
I put the thought to the back of my head and went downstairs for breakfast, I walked into the kitchen to see Ron, surprisingly up, dressed and downstairs. Although, unsurprisingly he had already started eating, I would love to say that he had almost finished eating but he hadn't, he always found a way to be able to eat more! I saw Mrs. Granger cooking more food for everyone else and Ginny helping her. I walked over to her and swiftly moved her long ginger locks over shoulder and begin her ear and I started to kiss her neck moving up to her jaw where I met her lips and started kissing her passionately I bit on her bottom lip which made her moan with delight. "That's my sister you're snogging," George said as he went to sit at the table, me and Ginny looked at him as I grabbed her by the waist pulling her closer to me, I kissed her again before going to sit at the table as she resumed to help her mother with breakfast. During breakfast we ate quietly without a word, Ron stuffing his face, as usual, Mr. Weasley reading the prophet, as was Hermione, me, Ginny, Mrs. Weasley and George just sat in silence, after breakfast, me, Hermione and Ron went upstairs to our room when a pure black owl with big yellow eyes gracefully flew in the open window and landed on the nearby desk. I walked up and grabbed the letter carefully from its beak as Hermione gave it some owl treats, and then it flew back out the open window as gracefully as when it came in, when I opened the letter I soon realised that were three smaller letters inside and with a swift movement they were in my right hand, there was one for each of us, Hermione, Ron and me. We opened them quickly and read through, the letter said,

Dear Student,
Due to the events that occurred last year all students will be given an extra year at Hogwarts, during your 7th Year students will need:
Robes,
Textbooks for all subjects,
Their pets (optional),
Their wands,
A cauldron,
A broom,
Clothes for hogs mead trips,
Money,
Other stuff (pyjamas and luxuries etc.)

Because of recent events and how much everyone has changed and how some pupils have left or gone to Azkaban, it has been decided that each and every student shall be rehoused. Every student shall be rehoused on the first day back after the First Years as usual, during Dinner. We hope you enjoyed your break and we shall see you back at Hogwarts cheery and happy on the 4th September.

Yours Sincerely

Minerva McGonagol
Headmistress

After thoroughly reading through the letters we all put them down and looked at each other, we stayed up there and chatted about it for a while until we emerged from our room in order to get Ginny and floo to Gringotts to get some money out and then buy what we needed for another year at Hogwarts.
