Harry sat down in the grand hall for the sorting ceremony. At his seat at Gryffindor, he had a perfect view of the flood of first years entering the building.
Suddenly he heard something behind him. Turning he saw dumbledor gesture at him to come. Harry stood and walked over to him. Dumbledore grabbed his
arm on pulled him into the hall. "What's up?" asked Harry confused. Dumbledore does not look upset, but his grip on his arm is tight. Dumbledore glanced
around and leaned closer. "Now, I hate to pull you away from the festivities, but there are 2 students who will be showing up late. I need you to go outside and
wait for them. Bring Hermoine if you want. But make sure that you two are the only ones there." Harry looked at him. Why was he acting so strange? And
why would they need to be alone? But he was already at the entrance way and Hermoine was walking up to him. She was smiling and looked at him
curiously. "What's happening?" she asked. He shrugged and walked to the train station. Then he realized something. How were the new students going to get here? Then a boom filled the sky, and a swirling blue vortex appeared in the middle of the train tracks.
