Pale and slightly scared the students of hogwarts filed into the great hall for the start of the new school year. Draco Malfoy had regained his seat at the slytherin table but contrary to his boasts throughout the years, he was as pale as the most nervous hufflepuff under the Dark Lords reign over hogwarts. Sixteen year old Ginny Weasly walked quitetly but with a determined atidude over to the gryfinndorr table with Neville Longbottom walking in stride with her grimacing at the sight of Severus Snape, sat greasy hair and all in the seat that had previously been occupied by Albus Dumbledore. As the two of them sat between Seamus Finnigen and Romilda Vane they nodded at the third member of their team, Luna Lovegood, sat over at the Ravenclaw table with her characteristic vaquent expression on her face and her wand tucked behind her ear. As the first years tiptoed trembeling into the great hall lead by a scowling Professor Macgonnogal, the great hall went quite as the sorting hat, dirty and old burst into song.
My Song this year is shorter
my message has been said
and yet has not been heeded
so many more are dead.
I warned you before
about co-operation
and now with dark lord in charge
it's turned to decimation
The Founders folly
is being replayed
with Salazar's Heir
trying to send Godric's to his grave
Slytherin's are said to be cunning
and yet I can see
there's many a Slytherin
that has been outfoxed I see
by Godric's Heir
and all his friends
by the ultimate serpent
who seeks his own end
Gryfindorrs supposedly noble
and yet their are some
weak and conflicted
easily won
by power and fortune
no brave deeds to their names
whilest the ultimate serpent
brings about his own doom
Hufflepuffs loyal
but yet I have seen
'Puffs against other houses
and sarcastic and mean
The Ultimate serpent
though seems cold and mean
holds love in his heart
though it can not be seen
Ravenclaws clever
but some of Rowena's brood
can not see others intellegence
and are bullying, theiving and rude
while the ultimate serpent
Cleverest of the best
sadly this genius
seeks his own rest
So once you morons
please heed my song
so that in the end
it doesn't turn out wrong
Godric's heir and Salazar's
will they survirve or fall?
While the ultimate Serpent
lies down his life for all.
No one clapped, the Carrows were in stunned silence and the students of all four houses were ashamed and embarressed, Snape was sneering at the hat and stood up his long black robes swirling behind hims like bat wings, "Right now we are entierely certain that the hat has gone senile, welcome back to hogwarts, there are a few notices from the ministry."
Neville and Ginny looked darkly at each other.
"Firstly as you may know you were all supposed to declare blood status on your forms, should you know of anyone who should not be here, theives of magic," at this Alecto Carrow cackled, "Inform your head of hall imeddietly or...suffer the consequences. Secondly and more importantly this" he said, flicking his wand "is Undesiarable Number One" a large picture of Harry James Potter lit up in the hall. "Should anyone know of his wereabouts or any other information you must inform someone. Now let the feast begin"
As the great hall came to life again as the food appeared. Over the hubbub and a large chicken drumstick Neville turned to Ginny , "Yeah I'll listen out for info about Harry but c'mon whose actually going to tell Snape anything"
"Yeah and Snape's got another thing wrong...Undesirable my arse!"
