Hermione:


I would have expected anything this school year, just not that. I was sitting with my best friends Harry and Ron in a compartment of the train that was supposed to take us to Hogwarts, staring at the letter in my hand. "Guys that can't really be true, can it?" they just grinned but Harry smiled "Well, why not? I mean you're a really hard-working student," Harry said now and Ron could nod to that now. I looked again at the letter that really said that I was a prefect this year, that was still okay and I might have expected something like that, but on top of that I had also become Head Girl, it made me feel good really proud, but I wouldn't really have expected it anyway. Who the other one was or the other two, because actually these posts got at least two students, well I definitely didn't know that yet. "What do you think Hermione who the other or the others are?" Harry wanted to know from me now. I shrugged my shoulders "Hmm ... I don't know, I hope none from Slytherin" I choked as I said that. Regardless of whether Snape was a spy or not, that had nothing to do with the Slytherin students and they were still our enemies. Then I saw windows outside and sighed softly, I couldn't believe that the last year had already begun, that we were really already in the last class of Hogwarts. The fight against Voldemord was getting closer, everyone was in danger, the murders were increasing, but luckily we were safe at school. We were really glad that after the death of Professor Dumbledor Mc Gonegall had decided to continue the school and many of us were sure that she would do it as well as he, although it had to be said that she would certainly be a lot stricter, Anyway, one could be glad that the school still existed, because there was a long discussion about whether the school would stay with us or not. And even though Snape had killed Dumbledor, he had stayed at school, none of us could really believe that, even if the Slytherins were of course happy about it. We Gryfindor, but also the other houses, all saw it very differently, although, during the holidays, we were told why he had done it, we knew that what he had swallowed in this potion was poisonous, but there was Snape mine In my opinion not the right to kill him, maybe another solution could have been found.

"Tell me both of you, don't you think it's great that we are now officially members of the Phoenix Order?" I heard from Ron. Yes we probably were now, which is why we knew the reason why Snape had killed Dumbledor. The others didn't know and shouldn't have found out either. We had fought for a long time to finally be accepted as members, and this summer the time had finally come.But slowly Ron was getting annoyed with that at the moment there was really no other topic for him, except that we were now members and that was quite annoying when you heard that every hour. "Ron, it's getting annoying," I said and luckily Harry agreed. How could it be otherwise, Ron began to pout again, of course, but actually it didn't matter to me right now, my thoughts were now more about who would still be Head Boy. "But tell Hermione then you don't even live in Gryfindor Tower anymore, if you're Head Girl now?" Harry said and I was startled, "Man that's right, I had completely forgotten that" because the Head Boy somehow had their own Quarter. In addition, there was also a separate room, which was probably where the teachers' rooms were. "Well, I finally got some peace from you guys", I said just for fun the two looked at me indignantly "What does that mean?", I sighed, but then laughed, "Boy, guys, that was fun, well just don't take it so seriously, "I said and then we laughed, but still I was happy to be for myself, unfortunately it was the truth that the two of them could be really annoying sometimes, even if they were my best friends. Then I was about to put the letter back in the envelope when I found another letter. "What's that?" Ron wanted to know. I looked at him and shrugged my shoulders, I had just found him myself. I unfolded it and read it, then smiled, "Well, it says in here that Snape won't teach anymore, he'll just stay at Hogwarts, he'll stay the Head of Slytherin, but" Potions continues to teach sir. Slughorn, "with Harry sighing and I could understand that really well." Well and Defense Against the Dark Arts did, "then I had to smile," Remus honors us again. "Hey that's great," both shouted from one mouth. I nodded, that was really great, in my opinion Remus had been the best teacher in the subject so far and that Mc Gonegall repeated him meant that most parents who knew what he was probably no longer had a problem with what really was good.

My gaze slid back outside and I could slowly see the lights of Hogwarts Castle "We'll be right there, we should put the capes on," with which I got up and dug my cape out of my pocket and put it on, they did The two of them too, then we left our compartment and how could it be otherwise, Malfoy ran into us, but he seemed to have changed a bit, what had happened last year, the one with Dumbledor, I wonder if that was him probably changed, because this time it wasn't him who said something like "Mudblood" to me, which didn't bother me anymore, but Pansy Pakinson, and she interests me just as much as a piece of bread, Malfoy just kept walking in Towards the door.I sighed, this event must have changed us all, but I would never have thought that with him. I left the train with Harry and Ron and smiled when Hagrid came towards us, the giant had been our friend since first grade and I was sure that he would stay that way forever. "Well you three or four," he greeted us. Four? "I looked around and a little redhead grinned at me, Ginny had been sitting in a different compartment on the train because she had argued with Harry, who she was with now, on vacation, well whatever loves is teasing each other We said hello to Hagrid, too, and he smiled, then we were taken to the carriages being pulled by the Thestrals, so much had happened to me in the meantime that I could do them now, and to be honest, I didn't find it particularly beautiful But these animals kept telling me what I had already experienced in my life. We sat down in the seats and the animals then drove towards the castle. This time there were only four of us in a carriage, there would probably not be many who were at Hogwarts this time, but I didn't really care, the main thing was that my friends were with me.

We got to the castle quickly, and then got out again and I had to admit that I was glad when I could leave the thestrals behind me, they were death or at least something like that, but for me they were the same, after all, you could only see them when you were close to death and that should mean something. When we got to the Great Hall, I was really astonished, there weren't many there, I looked back and forth at the tables, at the Slytherin table there were maybe 20 people, at Ravenclaw there were also about 20, maybe they were huffeluff 15 and with us Gryfindor, well it looked really thin, we were maybe ten people, memories came to my mind where this hall was so full and festively decorated, everything had changed with the death of Dumbledor, many probably thought so Hogwarts was no longer safe for their children now, but they seemed to forget that Hogwarts was the only place where their children were really safe. But I couldn't change anything about what the other parents thought anyway, I was glad that mine weren't in London at the moment, but had traveled far away, even if I missed them, I knew it was better that way. I then went to our table with Harry and RON, but the three of us saw each other in the hall that was so empty, it was really nothing like last year, it was strange to see it all. As we sat down, Mc Gonegall began to say, "I am happy to see you students here at Hogwarts for the last year, even if unfortunately there are not very many anymore." "Last year", is true now that she said it, I wonder that there were only those who still had to do their last year, there were no first graders, so why were there prefects or head boys.I didn't really understand that. “As you can see,” said Mc Gonegall, “there aren't that many here this year, which unfortunately is due to the fact that the parents of the students no longer trust us after the death of Albus Dumbledor, most parents assume that their children would no longer be safe here "I sighed and looked at the teachers, I saw Snape and I wanted to jump at his throat, no matter what his intentions were, I still hated him. My gaze slid further and in the end Remus Lupine was sitting, he was there again, that was really a blessing for this school, it was really better. "Well, so as not to deny you all that Professor Snape won't teach anymore," except for those seated at the Slytherin table, everyone started clapping, and that's exactly what I thought was right because everyone here knew it was Dumbledor had killed. "He will only be the Head of House for Slytherin, Professor Slughorn will continue to take over the position of Potions teacher and Remus Lupine will be responsible for Defense Against the Dark Arts again" there was applause, except at the Slytherin table. But how was it to be expected otherwise, and then I actually thought that she would announce the meal, because slowly I was getting really hungry. But then Mc Gonegall continues "And this year there are only two students who have received both the title of Head Boy and the title of Prefect". Oh, so it was only one student who would do this with me, I looked around and asked myself who would still be eligible for it. "This time we have taken some where we think they have seen enough to cope well with the tasks we will give them to help destroy Voldemord and of course they will not neglect their other duties" so we should help the destruction? I really wondered what kind of tasks would be waiting for us and,
