DISCLAIMER: I don't anything, but the story line. Hogwarts and most of the characters are J.K. Rowling's! I really admire her work! Oh yeah. I have one of my characters in this story. Read to find out about him. Yes he's a guy.

[New] A/N: This is an old story from an older account that I'm just trying to review and revive. I don't plan on changing the plot -just some grammar issues. It was one of my first fanfics. Btw, I plan on shipping the same couple in my next story as in this one. ;D

Welcome Here At Hogwarts-1

Cho's P.O.V.

As I entered the double doors, I felt the magic fill me again. I remembered everything that happened last year, as well as Cedric's death. I looked at the Hufflepuff table, expecting him to be there, but there was no sign of him. I held my tears back as I took my seat next to Marietta. Then Dumbledore began the welcome speech,

"Welcome, welcome all." His voice boomed, "Welcome to another year of Hogwarts. First years will enter in a few minutes, but at the moment I want to introduce another unique new student. He has been studying magic in his own home, but is now joining us He…"

"Do you think he's going to be cute?" Marietta whispered to me.

I rolled my eyes, "Matters, I haven't even seen him."

"I don't know," she said, "Wait, is that him?"

"Please welcome, Mr. Zanjoe Rodriguez." Professor Dumbledore introduced the boy.

A boy about the age of 16, with blackish-brownish hair joined Dumbledore in the front of the room. He looked Hispanic. He was tall and had brown eyes. As his eyes wandered the room, they fell upon me. They were so mysterious, yet gentle. Then Marietta tapped my shoulder.

"So do you think he's cute?"

"He's okay…" my voice trailed.

"Whatever, I think he's bloody gorgeous." Marietta continues to describe him, but I didn't pay any attention. My eyes wandered the room and met up with Draco's. He was a fifth year Slytherin. His eyes weren't in the usual icy state and his usual annoying devilish smirk on his face was replaced with an adorable grin. It was probably minutes until I noticed I was staring at him. I shook my head in disagreement. I didn't look back at him after that.

Dumbledore's speech seemed to last forever. "Zanjoe will enter Hogwarts as a sixth year student, and will be sorted along with the first years."

With that the Great Hall's doors opened and the first years entered the room. Instantly, everyone began to chatter.

"I wonder how he got in as a sixth year?" asked a boy named Anthony Goldstein, who was sitting across from Marietta. The seat opposite mine was empty.

Marietta answered, "I don't know, but he's really cute."

"Uh, yeah…" replied the boy.

"What house do you think he'll be in, Anthony?" I asked.

"Ravenclaw, for sure." Marietta said.

I chortled, "That's only because you think he's cute."

"No, I mean how smart do you think he has to be to get into Hogwarts as a sixth year!" Marietta defended herself. "He's has to be in Ravenclaw."

Anthony and I nodded in agreement.

"As I call your name, please proceed to the chair, and I'll place the Sorting Hat upon your head. Then he will sort you to your proper house." Professor McGonagall began the sorting. "Cecil Alania."

A strawberry haired, chubby girl stepped up to the chair, and the Sorting Hat was plotted atop her head.

"Simple…" the crinkly brown hat came to life. Many of the first years gasped. "Talented, very talented. I know then. How about Hufflepuff?"

The Hufflepuff table cheered for their new housemate.

While the sorting was taking place, Marietta began to chat once again. At first she was talking about the Zanjoe guy. I didn't listen. When she finally changed the subject to school, I began responding.

"What classes will you taking this year?"

""The usual," I replied.

"I know," she scoffed, "Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, D-A-D-A, and History of Magic. Besides those, Cho?"

"Mmm… You missed Herbology, Arithmancy, and Care for Magical Creatures. I love Care for Magical Creatures."

"Cho, just answer my question." She was annoyed.

I giggled, "I'm taking Muggle arithmetic. Something called Algebra."

Anthony gasped, "You're not serious are you? My cousin's friend is taking a class called Algebra Two. I think it's the second level of Algebra and my cousin said he failed."

"I think I'm in the second level of Algebra. Don't worry, Anthony. I'll manage. Besides your cousin's friend isn't in Ravenclaw, is he now?"

"Zanjoe Rodriguez." called Professor McGonagall.

The Mexican looking guy approached the chair. As the sorting hat was placed on him, it gasped. There was dead silence. Even silent for a moment or so.

Finally it talked, "Difficult. Very…Hm…..courage enough for Gryffindor, but wise enough for Ravenclaw. Wait, I see wiliness for Slytherin, yet love for Hufflepuff.

Have you done anything terrible, my boy?" the hat asked.

Zanjoe attempted to look at the hat, "No sir, not that I know of."

His voice was so calm and soothing. He can probably sing.

The hat muttered, "Well it says here you have, and you do know well what it is."

"I've snuck out of class once or twice, but that's it." confessed Zanjoe.

"Hm…" the hat muttered again.

"Just tell us what house he's in!" exclaimed Draco. All the other students began to uproar. The teachers began arguing about something. In the midst of it all, I saw Zanjoe's worried eyes. They cautiously roamed the room, and once again they fell upon me. He smiled and his look of uneasiness fled his face. It's strange what one student can do to a roomful of us.

"SILENCE!" Dumbledore's voice echoed. It was quiet in the Great Hall again. "Please proceed, sorting hat."

The Hat then spoke, "Don't worry, my boy. This isn't the first time there was a commotion about a student's sorting. It was a funny story actually-"

"Please…"Professor McGonagall interrupted, "Please sort Mr. Rodriguez so that he may take his seat."

The Sorting Hat sighed and cried, "Ravenclaw."

Our table shouted, cheered, and even stood up for Zanjoe. He must be pretty special to have caused so much commotion on his first day. He sees like a nice guy, too. I hope he feels welcome, here at Hogwarts.

[Old] A/N: So, how was it? Boring, interesting, strange? I can't believe this one chapter took up three pages on Word. I only usually type up to two ½ pages. Yay! This is a pretty long chapter for me. He he he…Hope you keep up with this story. I like it so far! I'll explain how Zanjoe was able to attend Hogwarts as a sixth year. I don't know how either, right now. He he he…..Oh and Thankies again for reading this! Please R & R.
