True Friends

           What a long time it has been since Harry has gotten to be in the wizarding world.  He was living as a Muggle as he usually does during the summer.  he is now in his sixth year at Hogwarts.

CHAPTER 1

            "Harry!" said Ron as he boarded the Hogwarts Express.  "I've wanted to invite you all over but Mum said I was still grounded for helping Fred and George bewitch the toilet."  Ron's brothers were always misbehaving so it was no shock to Harry that they would pull that.
           Harry saw many people board the train.  Neville, Seamus, Draco (unfortunately), Crabbe, and Goyle were some of them.  But he was looking for someone.  Many more came but no sign of her.  Then she finally came into the compartment.
           "Hi everybody!"  Hermione cheerfully greeted everybody.  Harry noticed how much prettier she looked than she did the last time.
           The train then, finally, moved and took off toward the school.  Harry couldn't wait to get there.  He also knew that something bad would happen because it always did.  Then suddenly, Harry felt a sharp pain in his scar.  He then knew something bad would indeed happen.

CHAPTER 2

            Harry, Ron, and Hermione entered the Great Hall of Hogwarts.  As sixth years, the classes would be obviously harder and maybe more fun.  The Great Hall had been decorated as usual, in a grand fashion.  Then Harry saw his hated rival, Draco Malfoy.  He'd always hang around Crabbe and Goyle.  Harry always thought that those two were Malfoy's bodyguards.  If they weren't, Malfoy would already be in a body cast.  Harry also saw Snape.  He hated Snape and Snape hated him.  Harry looked a little glum because it seemed as if the year would be bad until later, when he saw that Hermione was giving Harry that "look."  Maybe, Harry thought, maybe she "likes" him too.
            Months went by until it was Halloween.  Then, everything went bezerk when they saw it.  The dark mark.  At Hogwarts.  Lord Voldemort was there.

CHAPTER 3

            Everyone, CALM DOWN!" yelled Dumbldore.  "It is probably a prankster.  When I find out who..." Harry was in shock.  He did not know that that could ever happen at Hogwarts.
            "Oh I'm so frightened!" said Hermione as she grabbed onto Harry.  He felt a little better until..."ARRGGHGGGGHHH!"  Harry screamed in pain as his scar flared.  Voldemort must be here, thought Harry.  He told Ron and Hermione, "Come with me."
            They went into the girl's bathroom.  "Why are we here?" asked Ron.  Then they heard Moaning Myrtle.  Harry asked her, "Have you seen an odd looking wizard entering the Chamber of Secrets?"  Myrtle nodded and they entered the chamber of Secrets.
