Harry Potter and the Quad-Wizard Tournament
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, or the Avengers. The OC's are obviously mine, and the plot is too. With that out of the way, enjoy!
Chapter One:
Harry tried to not stare as a dark man with an eye-patch strode in. He also noticed that some students who looked to be in the older years standing where the new first years had just stood. The murmuring in the hall stopped for a second, then rose again with a frightening ferocity.
Dumbledore clapped his hands together, calling the students to attention. "Good evening, all. I see you have noticed our new additions! Select students of Director Fury's Marvel Institution have been chosen to partake in an all-new event. Some of you may have known it as the Tri-Wizard Tournament." Gasps were heard all over the hall as many whispers were exchanged.
"Well, seeing as Marvel Institution is joining us, it will be temporarily known as the Quad-Wizard Tournament. These students are going to be sorted into our houses, because they will be staying until they graduate." This was met with an uproar. Some people (Ravenclaws) were excited about learning from a different school. Some (Hufflepuffs) were happy for new people. Some (Slytherins) were confused as to why they had come here for different education and wondered if there was a use to the students. Others (Gryffindors) noticed some pretty faces and were satisfied.
"The new Defense teacher is no other than Director Fury." The dark man stood up, and managed a small smile and a nod to the students. Polite clapping was heard.
"Let the Sorting began!"
Director Fury walked over to the hat stool. He held a scroll in his left hand. "Apolloson, Deimos!" The Hat barely touched his head before screaming: "Gryffindor!"
His twin, Phobos Apolloson, was sorted into Slytherin. Next was "Banner, Bruce", who went to Ravenclaw. Clint Barton went into Ravenclaw too. Maria Hill, a pretty brunette, went into Ravenclaw too. Philip Coulson went into Slytherin. Two brothers, Loki and Thor Odinson, went into Slytherin and Hufflepuff. Steve Rogers also went into Hufflepuff, and Natasha Romanov, a Russian redhead, went into Slytherin as well.
"I don't like this." Ron whispered to Harry. "Too many Slytherins, and only one Gryffindor so far."
Next, Adrienne Rowan, as if to prove Ron's point, went into Slytherin. Harry privately thought she looked very pretty. However, the next boy, Kieran Sarth, became a Gryffindor. Ron cheered loudly.
Finally, after "Zratin, Nicholas" got into Gryffindor, Director Fury put away the scroll. Dumbledore stood again. "Now that the second Sorting is over, LET THE FEAST BEGIN!" He bellowed. Ron and most of the boys in the Hall cheered at this proclamation, and immediately dug into the food.
"Ron!" Hermione chastised. "Don't be such a pig! Chew!"
"Is gwood!" He managed to say. Harry realized that Hermione wasn't eating. "'Mione, why aren't you eating?" Ron asked after he swallowed.
"Because the house elves are being treated as practically slaves!" Hey get Hermione burst out passionately. "They aren't paid, they get no vacations, sick leaves…"
"Can house elves even get sick?" Harry wondered, savoring the potatoes.
"Hermione, the house elves like work! It's all they know!"
"What about Dobby?"
"Dobby was an exception, because he had a horrid family! Winky too, but Hogwarts treats house elves very well!"
Harry tuned out the argument and focused on the Slytherin table, where Malfoy was talking animatedly with the girl. She was quite pretty, her skin a shade darker than most of them, and dark brown hair. Harry likened it to soft feathers, but quickly stopped his daydreaming. Whoa, there. Anyone who could hold a conversation with Malfoy had to be bad. Right?
On his left side, Ron stood up. "Harry?"
Harry jolted out of his stupor. "Yeah?"
"It's time to go."
"Oh."
