Yay new story! Very excited about this one. I've always wanted to write a story like this and lately I've been feeling the desire to write drawing me to my computer. So here is the first chapter. I have no idea how this story will go but it will be the usual cast and as you know I never have people as the same ages they are in the book as this would be most inconvenient. If you are unfamiliar with my stories my main characters ages are as follows:
18 (repeating 7th year): Marcus Flint
17 (7th year): Adrian Montague, Cassius Warrington, Alicia Spinnet, Angelina Johnson, Katie Bell etc.
16 (6th year): Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson etc.
15 (5th year): Ginny Weasley
Chapter 1
McGonagall slammed her book heavily on the table making the Hogwarts students jump in fright. They'd all been summoned to the Great Hall to hear an announcement and were greeted by a furious looking Headmistress. She glared at each of the house tables in turn as she opened the book.
"I have bidden you here today," she began in a cold voice. "Because the horrendous behaviour of the student body I have witnessed these last few weeks has led me to believe that you all need a push in the right direction." The students looked at each other all wondering what this 'push' would entail.
"Here in my hands are the lists of students who belong to each house." McGonagall paused for effect. "These lists are about to be rewritten." There was a collective gasp from the students. McGonagall silenced them with a look.
"You will each be given a sheet of paper on which you may record the names of four other students with whom you would like to be in a house with. I cannot guarantee you will be in a house with all your preferences, but you will be with at least one."
At that moment a sheet of paper with numbers 1-4 appeared on the table in front of every student.
This all was so sudden. Sure things had been bad since the year commenced with Gryffindor's and Slytherin's in particular being at each other's throats. But no one could've seen this coming.
Angelina and her friends looked at each in a knowing way as they wrote down each other's names. Angelina completed her own list as follows
Alicia Spinnet
Katie Bell
Hermione Granger
Ginevra Weasley
At the Slytherin table a group of young men were also filling out their lists. Blaise Zabini completed his list as follows:
Draco Malfoy
Marcus Flint
Adrian Montague
Cassius Warrington
When the lists were completed the papers vanished with a pop.
"Thank you for your participation." McGonagall nodded at them. "Lists of the houses will be available on Sunday morning. You will move into you new house that day and be ready to start school again on Monday. Good night."
McGonagall's cracking the whip hehehe!
