Colorful streaming banners lined the slightly off white walls of the Great Hall, their beautiful colors contrasting nicely with one another. The starry ceiling overhead twinkled and shone. The ancient eating tables had been polished and draped with extravagant tablecloths, and the empty golden plates and goblets sat upon them.
Dumbledore sat easily in his chair at the end of the table, his long silver hair hanging down his back, glistening in the faint light. He gave a small swish of his hand, and some of the lights dimmed, and some candle's lit up around the room, giving a slight glow.
Smiling warmly at his fellow staff members as they all began to seat themselves at the High table, he turned his head towards the door, the light reflecting off his half moon spectacals.
The door cracked open and students began to enter.
Time for a new year to start.

_Alenia_
Alenia walked into the enourmous hall. The tables looked the same and it all looked the same except for the fact she was now a fifth year. She was officially on the elder side of the years past fourth year and you were home free. The only thing that bothered her was the thought of O.W.L.S. This was the year she decided on one career and that was hard.
She glanced to the teacher tables. Mcgonagalls chair was epty as it usually was when she waited for the First years to some into the Great hall. Alenia seated herself at Gryffindor and began to chat with the people near her, it would e a while till the first years came.
_Ron_
Ron walked into the great hall next to Harry on his right side. He looked around at the familiar hall and was glad that the summer was over. The tables were old but looked just as majestic as they did his first year. The candles seemed dimmed and the place a bit darker but nothing could take away it's wonderful airy feeling.
He glanced at the staff table. He gave a cold glare to Snape that he made sure Snape missed then followed Harry to the table and sat. It was another new year filled with another new batch of tiny first years, and what was more? Ron was still a prefect with Hermione.

Ari entered the Great Hall a bit hesitantly this year, having a bit of fear that she might mess up. Her grandfather had been regularly telling her the same 'One more mess up and it's bye bye Hogwarts!'. But lately he had seemed alot more serious about it. So hence the fact that she was apprehensive about this year. Walking in, she took up her place at the Hufflepuff table. Smiling at familiar faces all over, she turned to look at the Head Master.
I wonder if there is anything interesting going on this year. Waving at a few people she knew at other tables, she also waved at Hagrid, who sat at the teachers table. Turning back to watch Dumbledore, she waited for the official beginning of the year speach and first year innitiation.

He walked beside Ron, saying hello to those that passed and greeted him. Fallowing Ron's eye he saw Snape, but quickly turned, he could no longer face the man. Not any more... He sat down at the table, looking around for Hermione, and seeing a few other good friends. Waving to Neville and Seamus he smiled. Also, he nodded to Colin and Ginny, waved to a few others and started into his routine of Talk with Ron.
"So, do you think there is going to be any interesting reports or events this year?" He looked up at Dumbledore, and waved to him aswell. He felt so wonderful to be back! Hogwarts, as many also felt, was like his home...
-Harry Potter

"I doubt it," Ron said staring at his plate wishing that the first years could find some quicker route of crossing the lake. "I wish that the First years were here and already sorted it would go better for my stomach."
Ron smiled comically at Harry then whispered , "Bit of an old git, that Snape is growing to be, but think if we don't make his N.E.W.T. classes this year we'll never see his long geasy nose again. Unless he decides to crawl out of that coffin he lives in." Ron laughed and shot another glance at Snape.
"You'd think Hermione'd be here by now. I bet you she's already in the library walking to the commons with a stack of some fifty books." Ron gave a hollow laugh and resumed staring at his plate.

*Speedy the Owl*
Professor Tunks was running late, but his owl was not.
The little blue owl sat perched on top of his chair, watching the students seat themselves. He started to wonder where his master was, but stopped thinking and kept saving his seat.
This small blue owl was probably the smartest of all, and also probably the fastest because of his size and weight.
He turned his head sideways to Dumbledore and blinked at him. He soon got bored and took flight over the students heads, observing their actions. It didn't take long for him to get bored of that too, so he settled himself back down and continued to wait.
Seconds turned to minutes, and soon the owl thought that something had happened to his master. Quickly he flew over to Dumbledore and landed softly in front of him.
He gave a small "hoot!" and nipped at Dumbledore's fingers.

-=Albus Dumbledore=-
Student's poured in through the open door, and Dumbledore smiled in satisfaction at them. He loved being headmaster, being around children and helping them was his greatest desire.
Relaxing into his chair without a care in the world he withdrew a lemon drop from a small hidden box in his robes and popped it into his mouth, a smile slowly spreading across his face.
In the next instant, a small blue owl had landed in front of him and hooted.
"Well hello little one..." Albus stared the small creature in the eyes for just a fleeting moment the looked away and patted the small creature reassuringly.
"No need to worry, Tunks will be here soon I expect."
