Prophecy Girl
It was the first day back at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry; all the year levels were making their way into the great hall to welcome the new students to the school. The students had just begun to sit down when Professor McGonagall marched threw the doors, followed by a line of nervous looking new students. She approached the sorting hat that lay on a stool in front of the staff table and one by one called up each new student to be sorted. After the sorting ritual had been finished, McGonagall turned to sit into her chair. Dumbledore then rose from his. The room of excited students quickly fell silent.
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts" he said "I would firstly like to welcome all our new students to Hogwarts." The students clapped. "Secondly, I have an announcement to make, there will be a new student joining the 4th years tonight, now Hogwarts don't usually take in students at such a late age but this time we have made an acceptation." Dumbledore flicked his hand and the doors to the great hall flung open. Standing behind those doors was a girl in the Hogwarts uniform; she had long dark hair which she wore down and dark brown eyes. She began to walk down the aisle in the middle of the great hall; she caught the eye of a boy sitting at the Hufflepuff table by the name of Cedrick Diggory but she quickly turned away and hurried along to stand next to Dumbledore.
"This here is Jaelie Housen" began Dumbledore "As I said before she will be joining the 4th years but first we must get her sorted into a house" he led Jaelie over to the sorting hat and put it on her head. After a few moments of silence the sorting hat finally yelled out…
"GRYFINDOOR!"
The Gryffindor table cheered as Jaelie approached the table. A girl with light brown hair stood up and went to greet her.
"Hi, Im Hermione Granger, Im a 4th year"
"Oh Hi" replied Jaelie
"Come and sit with me and my friends and we will introduce you to some of your new class mates" said Hermione, Jaelie followed Hermione towards the middle of the table, where two boys sat. Hermione and Jaelie both sat down and Dumbledore began to speak again.
"Let the feast begin!"
Food magically appeared on the plates in front of them and all the students began to dig in.
"Well I suppose we better introduce you then" said Hermione to Jaelie "This is Ron Weasly" she pointed to a tall boy with red hair.
"Hello" said Ron
"And this" said Hermione pointing to the other boy "Is Harry Potter"
"Hi" said Harry with a mouthful of food.
Jaelie giggled "hi"; a girl with red hair then approached her.
"Im Ginny, im Ron's sister" she said as she sat down next to Hermione. Two other boys that looked exactly alike then walked up to meet the new girl
"Im Fred" said one of them
"Im George" said the other one
"There related to Ron too" whispered Hermione, Jaelie nodded and said.
"Hi"
"So Jaelie" began Hermione "How come you only just got accepted into Hogwarts now?"
"Maybe Hogwarts forgot to send her a letter when they were taking in new students 4 years ago" suggested Ron stuffing a chicken wing in his mouth.
"I doubt that, Hogwarts never miss sending letters to witches and wizards"
"Oh im not a witch" said Jaelie
"Your not?" asked Ron confused
"No" replied Jaelie
"Then what are you?" he asked "Squib?"
"I don't know what I am" replied Jaelie blankly, "that's part of the reason I am here, Dumbledore is trying to figure out where my power is coming from"
"Your awful quiet Harry" said Hermione
"Oh sorry" replied Harry "I'm tied from the trip"
"Yes I think we all are" said Hermione "I think we should head up to the dormitory, would you like to come Jaelie?"
Jaelie didn't hear Hermione; her attention was drawn to the boy at the Hufflepuff table. Harry looked behind him to see what Jaelie was looking at and saw Cedrick laughing with his mates.
"Jaelie?" asked Hermione
"Oh sorry, umm yeah ok" replied Jaelie standing up
"Good lets go then" said Hermione as she turned and began to walk out of the great hall. Jaelie followed and Ron and Harry soon joined them, they reached the fat lady portrait and Hermione gave the password 'Wattlebird' and the portrait opened up leading to the Gryffindor common room.
"Come and I'll show you the girls dormitory" said Hermione to Jaelie, and both the girls walked up the stairs leaving Harry and Ron on their own.
"She seems nice" said Ron as he sat on the couch in front of the fireplace.
"Yeah" agreed Harry
"You alright Harry?" asked Ron
"Im fine Ron" replied Harry "Why wouldn't I be?"
"I dunno" said Ron "C'mon lets go up to our dormitory"
"So what do you think of Hogwarts so far?" asked Hermione
"Oh it's nice" replied Jaelie as she unpacked her things
"It will be much better once you get to see more of it" said Hermione
"Yes, I suppose so" said Jaelie "They don't happen to have a library here do they?"
"Do they ever!" said Hermione excitedly "I'll take you there now if you like!"
"Sure" said Jaelie happily.
They rushed down the stairs passing Ron and Harry on the way out.
"Where are you going?" asked Ron
"Jaelie wants to see the library!" replied Hermione
"Great now there's two of them…" muttered Ron to Harry
Hermione and Jaelie reached the library within minuets.
"Wow this place is huge!" exclaimed Jaelie
"I know" replied Hermione "Isn't it brilliant!"
Jaelie wondered into the centre of the library and looked around.
"Oh shoot!" snapped Hermione
"What?" asked Jaelie
"We have to get back to the dormitory, McGonagall will be making inspection soon, we will come back here tomorrow though"
"Ok" said Jaelie as they exited the library. They turned the corner to the grand stair case and ran into the Hufflepuff boy and one of his friends.
"Oh be careful!" snapped Hermione "You almost knocked us over!"
"Sorry Granger" said the Hufflepuff boy "You're the new girl aren't you?" he asked Jaelie
"Yeah, I'm Jaelie"
"Cedrick" replied the boy holding out his hand, Jaelie shook it and then smiled.
"It's too bad you didn't get put in Hufflepuff" said Cedrick "We could have done with a new 4th year"
"We better go" interrupted Hermione "McGonagall…"
"Ok" said Jaelie quickly. Cedrick smiled
"See ya round" he said as he walked off
"He's a Hufflepuff 5th year" said Hermione as they began climbing the stairs "His name is Cedrick Diggory, his father is very well known in the quiditch industry."
