Harry, Ron and Hermione walked into the Great Hall. The first strange thing they noticed was that there was a giant, floating model of Earth in the middle of the Hall. The second thing they noticed was that there were five new figures at the High Table. The first was a big man with all white hair, except for his eyebrows. He had a tattoo on each of his arms, one saying 'Naughty' and the other saying 'Nice'.

The second was probably the strangest. It was a massive grey rabbit with bluish-greyish markings. There were the very tips of what looked like two boomerangs on his back.

He was sitting next to Professor Trelawney, who was looking quite unnerved.

The third was a half hummingbird woman talking very fast to what looked like little balls of light, but on closer inspection was actually little copies of the woman herself.

The fourth was a man in equal height to Professor Flitwick, which to whom he was talking. Is he talking? Thought Harry as he looked at the man. He seemed to be talking, but without moving his lips. Little pictures were appearing over his head like he was playing charades with Flitwick.

The fifth gave Harry quite a start. It was a boy, not much older than Harry himself. The boy was leaning back in his chair with a bored expression.

Suddenly, Dumbledore stood.
