I Fell In Love With Harry Potter

Chapter 8:The journey to Hogwarts

The next day was crazy, as we all were getting ready to go back to Hogwarts. As everything was loaded into the car we all scrambled in to get good seats. I sat down followed by Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley sat across of us with Fred and George beside them. The doors shut and we were on our way. The car ride was quiet too quiet. I decied to talk to Harry so it wouldn't be that quiet. "Are you excited to go back?" i asked him. "Yeah I missed the dormitory, the food, classes (except Snape's) and Quidditch." He replied. "Me too." I replied. I felt him give my hand a squeeze. I smiled at him and put my head on his shoulder. It felt like 2 hours passed when I heard Harry waking me. "Time to get on the Hogwarts Express." He told me gently shaking me. I opened my eyes and saw everyone scrambling to get out. I sat up and stretched my arms over my head. I followed everyone else out of the car. When I got out I saw the platform 9 and three quarters sign. I smiled. I was at my favorite place. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley came over with trollies to put our stuff in. Once all of our stuff was loaded, we headed towards the pillar. I closed my eyes and took a run for it. I opened my eyes and saw the Hogwarts Express right in front of me. Everybody was already loading their stuff onto the train. I walked over to meet them. Once our stuff was on the train, we gave Mr. and Mrs. Weasley a hug and got onto the train. We all searched the train for an empty compartment. "Found one." Hermione said a few doors ahead of us. Ginny and Neville were already there waiting for us. We came in sat down and closed the door behind us. The trolley came with lots of delicious sweets. We all got something and shared it. I looked out the window and saw Howgart's shadow in the distance. We all got dressed in our robes and chatted until we got off. The train came to a stop and everyone got off. When I got off I saw Hagrid waiting by the boats for us. "All righ' you guys."He asked waving at us. We waved back and replied "Yeah." We all scrambled into the boat trying not to tip it over. "Is everybody ready?" Hagrid asked looking around at us. We all shook our heads. The boats were sailing through the water towards the castle. Once the boats were on the dock, we all got out and headed towards the front doors, Professer McGonagall was standing by the doors waiting on is to arrive. "Here they are Professer." He said bringing up the first years. "Thank you Hagrid." She said smiling. Hagrid returned the smile and walked down to his cabin by the Forbidden Forest. "Well everyone welcome back to Hogwarts." She said looking around at all of us. She opened the doors and we all walked in. When I walked inside, the warmth swept over me. I took a deep breath and the scents of food and clean dormitories came into my nose. We all followed Professer McGonagall to the doors of the Great Hall. I felt Harry grab my hand as we walked into the Great Hall. It was decorated the same as every year. When everybody saw me and Harry, they had shocked looks on their faces and were whispering about it to each other. Ignoring what everyone said, I made my way to my table. Fred, George and Percy were already their waiting on us to get here. As I we sat down, I noticed everyone getting up on their seats to look at me and Harry, "Can't get they get over the fact we're dating?" I asked them turnong around to ignore everyone. "They'll get over it it will just take them a few days." George told me. "I hope so." I replied. Professor McGonagall walked up to the front with the first years behind her. One little boy had Hagrid's mole skin coat on and was tripping over it because it was too big for him. She cleared her throat and picked up the scroll and opened it. "When I call you name come up here and get sorted. I could hear Ron's stomach growl as the first first year was being sorted. Once the sorting was over, Professor Dumbledore got up to make a speech. "I'm sorry to say that the Inter-House Quidditch Tournament will not be taken this year." He said. "WHAT!!" I could hear Harry exclaim beside me. "This is due to an event starting in October and will be continuing through out the school year." He continued, I heard the doors open and I turned around to see who it was, In the doorway stood a man. He was wearing a black travel coat and was leaning against a long staff. When the lightning stuck you could see his face much better, His face looked like chunks had been taken out of it. He had a two different eyes. One was small and beady while the other was large as a round coin and an electric blue. It was whizzing around without blinking. I looked down at him and saw one of his feet was a claw, He had a mane of gray hair that was everywhere like he had an electric shock. He limped his way toward the fron. Professor Dumbledore reached out his hand and shook it with the strangers, "Let me introduce the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher Professer Moody." He said clapping his hands. Everyone joined in the applause. Professor Moody went over to sit beside Professor Sprout. "Isn't he the guy that works with dad that he was talking about the other day?" George asked Percy. Percy nodded his head,. When Professor Dumbledore was finished, he sat down and helped himself to the dinner. I looked over at Professor Moody who was sniffing at a chicken leg to make sure it didnt hve anything in it.He took a bite out of it and took a drink from the flask he had, I turned my attention back to the food sitting in front of me. It was making me so hungry just looking at it. I hepled myself to the food infront of me. I laughed along with everyone's jokes and made some up of my own. When everyone was finished, Dumbledore came back up to make a few more announcements. "We wil be having a few guests from two different schools coming here this year." He told us. "So please be on your best behavior. Get some rest for your lessons tommorow." He told us clapping his hands. I got up and followed everyone upstairs. Everyone was going different directions to their dormitries. Once we got up to seventh floor, we were all tired and out of breath. The Fat Lady's portrait was all the way at the end of the corridor. When we got there we noticed she was awake drinking a glass of wine. "Password?" She asked. "Balderdash." George answered. The portrait opened and we all scrambled in together. The fireplace in the dormitory was crackling and reflecting light in the dormitory. I sat down on the couch in front of the fireplace. Harry sat dowm beside me and put his arm around me. "I'm so glad to be back." I told him. "Me too and I'm glad to be here with you." He replied, I looked up at him smiling. He smiled back kissing my forehead. I could feel my cheeks blushing and the warmth of  the fireplace. "I'm tired." I told him. "Me too." He replied. He walked me up to my room. "Well I'll see you in the morning." He told me. I nodded my head as I gave him a hug. "I love you." He whispered in my ear, "I love you too," I replied. I could feel his lips on mine as I finished those words. I wrapped my arms around his neck and wanted this night to last like this. He broke off the kiss after a few minutes. "Good night." He  said. "Good Night." I replied. I opened my door and walked in. I closed the door and let out a huge sigh. I went over to get my pajamas on and brush my teeth. Once I was finished, I got into bed, turned out the light and fell asleep smiling about what happened a few minutes before.
