Harry ended Breakfast as he went toward his Dorm. He walked up several flights of stairs as he reached the Fat Lady portrait. Harry spoke the password as he walked into the room and made his way toward the boys dorms. He reached the 6th year door and pushed it open. Harry walked toward his bed and saw his scarf. He picked it up and put it on. He turned and looked out the window and saw outside was nice. *Early Spring* he thought as he went toward the door and walked back down toward the Common Room. Reaching the Common Room he didnt stop to talk to anyone. He walked out through the porthole and toward the Main Hallway.
His shoes clicked over the marble floor as he walked toward the large Oak doors. He pushed one open as he stepped outside of the school onto the stone stairs. Breathing in midtemperature air he walked out onto the green. With his hands in his pockets he started on a trail around the lake, which lead toward-next to the forest and around the school. Harry walked slowly as he started to think of many things that are going on in his life, when he heard a Friendly voice behind him. Harry stopped and turned around and noticed it was.......

Dean Thomas was eating breakfast and was also thinking about the quidditch conditions outside. He was finishing up his sausages and eggs when he got a letter from his mum. He took the letter from his trusty owl Squall and gave the owl some juice and a piece of sausage. As Squall left he opened the letter and began to read. It said ,
Dear Dean,
Your father and I have got you tickets this summer for your faviorite soccer team. We have also gotten a surprise for you. You will be a big brother in nine months. We hope you are well.
With Love,
Mom
"Wow" Dean thought "I'm going to be a big brother?" So he finished breakfast and made his way out onto the grounds.
As Dean opened the Oak doors he saw a slightly cloudy sky and a bright sun. He started walking when he saw Harry up ahead. He rushed up to him and said "HI Harry, whats up mate?"

Harry turned around and reconized it was Dean Thomas. " 'Ello there Dean. Nothing really, just taking a walk." he answered as Dean started to walk with him. "You look quite happy, Whats New with you?" he asked turning his head toward Dean. Harry kicked a stone on the path occupying himself.

Seamus was only of average skill on a broom, though he was a huge fan of flying and Quidditch. Rightly, he had been flying since he was little and should be very good at it, but his house was surrounded by muggle houses and anyway, he just didn't have the natural talent to be a professional Quidditch player. But, that didn't keep him from flying, and that day was no exception.
The mild temperature was perfect for flying as the motion created a cool, comfortable breeze for the flyer. Seamus pulled a few spins, several barrel rolls, and some loop de loops, then decided to take a relaxed lap of the grounds. He yawned and stretched his arms way up in the air as he rode the broom with no hands, until he suddenly popped upright again when he noticed two people a little ways away. He could recognize the dark-skinned boy anyway, and that mop of black hair - it could only be Dean and Harry. Without hesitation he flew up behind the two and easily jumped off of his broom.
"Hey you ltwo, what're ye doin'?" he said cheerfully and with a grin as he tossed his broom over his shoulder casually.

Dean replied to Harry " I'm going to be a big brother." He then saw his best friend Seamus Finnigan and said to his question " Guess what mate? I'm going to be a big bro. So anyways anyone want to go and take a flight around the pitch?"

Ron had been awake since 6:00 AM because of keeper tryouts. His euphoria still had a mile to go before it ran out. As he ran from the Quidditch field towards the grounds, his elation lifted another level as he spotted Harry, Dean, and Seamus. Ron ran over with his red Quidditch robes spanning out behind him, he greeted, "Hi, Harry, Dean, Seamus!! I've re-earned the keeper's spot on the team. You know why? Cause I saved every single goal the Chasers threw at me!! So, I'm replacing Alicia, and she got a position as Chaser. Emily decided to play beater." Ron paused for a moment and asked, "What up?"

Hermione was having a hectic morning, Crookshanks had gotten into a little tiff with another cat, she had owls she had to reply to and send out, she had not seen Ron or Harry and she had missed breakfast. She was sitting in her dorm room writing, letters to her mum and dad, to some of her friends back home who were under the impression she was attending a boarding school in Ireland, Hermione always made sure she had her parents give them believable information, as it would not be a good thing for them to know where she really was. Crookshanks lay on the bed licking his paw where he had gotten clawed by the other cat, she spoke to him without looking, “I told you to leave that cat alone, but you had to prove that you were bigger, well look at you now. I know you are hurting, but it will soon go away.”
Hermione continued writing and ten minutes later she had completed all of the letters she had to write, now she just had to send them. She got up, and as she was doing so, she caught a glimpse of outside, it was lovely, and the idea grew in her mind, to enjoy this day outside, instead of in the study hall where she spent most days. Hermione got her cloak and scarf, she hooked her cloak around her neck and draped her scarf loosely around her neck and headed out of the dorm. Hermione walked out of the common room and up the stairs to the owlery, she gave he letters to Hedgwig, “Take these to my parents please,” the owl hooted and flew out of the window.
Hermione walked out of the owlery, and took a quick detour to the kitchens before heading out; this would be great, breakfast outdoors. Hermione got two ham and cheese croissants and a flask of pumpkin juice and headed outside, she opened one of the packages hold the croissants and she took a bite. She was strting on her second one when she saw some familiar faces gather near the lake, Harry, Ron, Dean and Seamus. Hermione quickly finished her breakfast and walked over to the boys, “Good morning, great day isn’t it?”<br>

Harry replied to Dean. "Really? Congrats." he said as he put his hand on his shoulder. A few seconds later Seamus turned up on his broom. "Hello Seamus. Nothing really, Just walking." He replied. Within a few seconds Harry heard someone running behind them. Harry stopped and turned "Hello Ron." Harry listened to Ron about Keeper. "Thats Good! Your a good keeper. Thats your spot ont he team." he sad as he turned around and kept walking.
Looking up he noticed a lot of people were flying around the school. *Probabaly the pitch is being used.* Harry thought as Dean made a comment about flying around the pitch. "The would be fun." Hermione turned up in the group of fellow walkers. "Hello Hermione. Yes, its a nice day." he paused as he thought Hermione didnt have a broom. " Dean, we all can have the fly around later."
Harry kept walking as he turned to Ron. "In the next Durmstrang game you should be our kepper." he said turning toward him.

Dean was about to make another comment when he heard a sudden rush of feet behind him. It was Ron Weasley fellow Gryffindor sixth year. He said " Hi mate what have you been up to?" in an almost excited voice. He then heard the familiar thud of feet behind him again and it turned out to be Hermione Granger also a sixth year Gryffindor. He said " Ain't this just a coincedence ,all of us just meeting together out of the blue. I mean its like we were drawn here by some higher power."

"O' course ye got keeper, Ron! We have a song named after ye, dey can't go replacin' ye now!" Seamus said to Ron upon hearing his good news. That left only one position open before the Gryffindor roster was full. A beater. Hmmm.
Shoving this thought aside, Seamus glanced up as local brain-girl Hermione Granger showed up. "Mornin'!" he returned to her cheerfully. He, like Dean, was just thinking what a coincidence it was that they had all been out and about in the same place at the same time. But unlike his best friend, Seamus had more mundane reasons for their sudden get together.
"Or maybe we jus' all wanted te enjoy de beautiful weat'er?" he said dryly. He quickly returned his attentions to Harry's previous statement though. "Yeah, ye know Ron, Harry's right. Ye should play Keeper against Durmstrang! Den we can use yer cool song against one o' de international teams!" Seamus' eyes lit up with joy at the idea. That would be wicked!
~Weasley is our King!
He didn't let the Quaffle in!~

Dean said " Hey Harry is right Ron. You should be Keeper against Durmstrang and I'm glad you got the Keeper position back on the team. He then said to Harry and Ron " Harry , Ron do you two want to hold a practice session tomorrow? I've got a set of Quidditch balls we can use."

When Hermione joined their little get-together, he greeted, "Eh, Hermione, whats up?" Ron laughed his head off when Seamus mentioned the little song that they had modified from the Slthies last year. He messed up his hair and replied, "Sure, Dean! I'll practice tommorow!"

Harry listened in on everyone's comments on his statment. "Yea, sure Dean." he said right after Ron's agreement. Harry walked forward in the front of the large group. They took a bend by the lake as Harry stopped by a grove of trees. He walked over to one and leaned up against it. He looked over at the water as he listened in on the rest of everyone's conversations.

Hermione smiled at everyone in turn, she was not interested in the talk of quidditch since she was the only one there who didn’t jump onto a broom at every chance, not that there was anything wrong with that. She had been dreaming a little when Ron spoke to her, “Hmm...oh, nothing really Ron, studying and making a few plans for this weekend,” but her words were drowned out by Ron’s laughter at Seamus statement about the song they had modified when Ron had done so well in quidditch. Well tomorrow Hermione would be looking for company she knew, as the boys would be flying around the quidditch pitch.
Hermione followed Harry, he seemed a little out of sorts to her, “are you okay Harry?” she whispered to him as she saw him staring out onto the lake. Hermione knew the events of last year still haunted her dear friend, and she wished there was something she could do to help.

Harry staring at the lake heard Hermione's voice near by. He blinked a few times and turned his head. Hermione was next to him. "Er... umm." he fumbled with his words. Harry looked down then looked at Hermione.
He said under his breath making sure no one else could hear. "Well, actually alot has been on my mind." he stopped and glanced at the group. No one was near by so he went on. "My scar has been hurting lately.... when Im thinking about Sirus." he paused. " Do you think Voldemort is trying to get inside my mind again?" he added as he put his hands into his cloak pocket.

Dean listened to both Harrys' and Rons' replies and he said " Great mates. I can't wait for some Quidditch practice." He then said so "Whats everybody been up to?"

When Ron saw Harry lean over towards the lake, he walked over to him and asked, "Whats up, Harry? Do you see anything unusual?"

Harry still looking at Hermione, noticed Ron walking their way. Harry turned him and said, "Seeing anything unusual, no. But.." He lowed his voice as he saw people from the group look over. "My scar has been bothering me. Just worried, I guess. " he finished as he looked back to Hermione.

When he heard Harry's reply, Ron's eyes widened and he said in a low whisper to keep it from Dean and Seamus, "Does that mean that Voldemort is really angry at you or is it just a tingling feeling?"

Harry having no expression in his face repied, "Im actually not sure. Im confused about that." Harry glanced back to Dean and Seamus. Noticing that they were all seperated in two groups he didnt want anyone to feel discluded. "Hey you Guys, come over here." he said as he motioned his head for them to come over to his Ron and Hermione's huddle.
