Harry Potter

  It's been a year since the war happened. And because of the war, everyone was to repeat the year because we haven't completely finished half of the year. Now that the war is finally over, everything's back to normal... well, at least magically normal. And just in case another war happens, Dumbledore's Army remains active. Hopefully the Death Eaters won't cause Hogwarts anymore trouble. All of Hogwarts are living in peace, but unfortunately the war left not only battle scars, but emotional scars as well. Professor McGonagall became the new substitute teacher in Defense Against the Dark Arts, since all of the professors who fought in the war faced great fatalities. Even though we have Professor McGonagall, we're all still saddened about the destruction and fatalities the war caused. As for me, the relationship with my friends remains close; the same with Ron and Hermione. I'm glad that even though we faced such difficult times, we all still remained sane and strong.

Hogwarts is finally rebuilt thanks to the Aurors and teachers. All of us were excited to go back in the castle. Me, Hermione, and Ron needed to complete our seventh year. And there were rumors about Draco and the Dark Angels returning in Hogwarts to complete their year. Hopefully they really changed for the better. Despite Draco being a mean bully to almost everyone in Hogwarts, many still expected him to fight Voldemort and save Hogwarts.

"Blimey, Harry! Aren't you gonna go inside?" Ron exclaimed, he was more ecstatic than I was.

"Uhm... I was about to when—." I said and he cut me off by dragging me in the Great Hall. Wow! The Great Hall has decorations in the ceiling like before when the school is about to end. Old times...

"Okay guys! The boy who lived has arrived!!" Ron announced to our friends. They all cheered and clapped for me. I felt slightly uncomfortable, knowing that I wasn't, good in taking this much attention.

"I knew you'd beat you know who." Seamus beamed, happily. This cause the cheer a bit louder. I took a seat next to Hermione and prepare to eat breakfast. Everything changes this year. It's kinda odd that Dumbledore and Snape are not here anymore. The kind of odd that makes you feel empty... like something's missing. I realized that Snape loved my mom ever since he laid his eyes on her. It made me feel pity for him. I actually understand why he hates the three of us together now. I remind him of my mother's eyes, Ron remind him of her Ginger hair, and Hermione remind him of my mum's intelligence and that she's a muggle. Snapping me out of my fantasy, I ate my meal and began a conversation.

"Hey, Hermione..." I started.

"Yeah...?"

"Do you think everything is going to be alright after the war?" I asked Hermione, remembering all what happened last year.

"I don't know. We can never tell if something bad is about to happen." She replied, before drinking her orange juice. I'm just really worried. What if You-Know-Who is still alive. "If you're thinking about Voldemort and the Death Eaters, they wouldn't dare attack Hogwarts again."

"Well, yeah... It's just that, everything changes." I mumbled.

"I know it's hard to accept the fact that Dumbledore is dead... but no one will dare to declare another war after you defeated Voldemort by yourself." She said, while reading a book. Hermione always spend her day reading in the library, that's how smart and responsible she is. "What's our first class?"

"Potions." Ron replied, stuffing some foods in his mouth. He always does that every morning.

"Ronald Weasley! That's very disgusting to eat your breakfast." Hermione scolded. Some Gryffindor students turned to looked at Ron with a strange look. Then we heard some footsteps from behind. I turn around and saw Draco Malfoy with his gang. Vincent Crabbe, Daniel Cheng , Brian Thompson, and Blaise Zabini. I know Draco is sad because he lost one of his best friend, Goyle, who died because of the fire spreading in the room of requirement. Some of the students whisper something to their friends when they saw Draco. He never wanted to join the Death Eaters. It's just because his father forced him to and his mother Narcissa. By the way, where is Charles? He's one of our friends in Gryffindor and the younger brother of Brian. They don't get along that much because Charles likes muggle stuffs and Brian doesn't. He strictly believes in Pure Blood Lineage while Charles believes that Pure Bloods and Muggle Borns are the same.
