A/N hehe, these chapters are going to leave you thinking through out the whole story!

Chapter 5 ******** Encounters and Quidditch

"HERMIONE" Harry and Ron both exclaimed and they dropped to their knees to see if Hermione was OK. The crowd had disappeared now and it looked like Professor Mc.Gonnagal was leading them into the Great Hall.

"Hermione what happened!!!!??" Yelled Harry. Hermione just looked at him and smiled her proud looking smile.

"HERMIONE, have you gone insane!!!!!?" Screamed Ron. Harry asking again what happened Hermione replied.

" Bulliscent Milstrode"

Ron asked," She did this to you!"

Harry also asked ," why did she do that!!!??"

Hermione explained with her smile ," well, peeves pushed me into her and she thought I did it on purpose so she tackled me, we had this huge fight and I just knocked her out cold! Some of her Slytherin friends had to drag her up to the hospital wi---" they had forgotten that everyone had gone to the great hall and they were the only ones left alone... with a very angry looking Mc.Gonagall. She literally shrieked," MISS. GRANGER WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE, GO STRAIT TO THE HOSPITAL WING NOW! 5 POINTS OFF BOTH GRYFFINDOR AND FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD SLYTHERIN"!

Harry got a sly idea and then asked," professor, Hermione is our good friend may we please accompany her at the Hospital Wing, for she might get lonely" Harry saw Ron , out of the corner of his eye, make his eyes into big cute doggy eyes, the kind you just couldn't resist.

She replyed," Very well , I will send you your dinner up with in 10 minutes ". Harry and Ron both placed one of Hermiones arms around their neck to support her weight (because she had desperately sprain her ankle when Bulliscent landed on it).

Mc.Gonagall was about to leave when she turned back around to face them and said," and don't worry you wont be missing anything important at the sorting ceremony today" and she turned around to walk away.

Ron muttered," we know, we know".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a couple minutes in the Hospital Wing Harry and Ron had explained everything to Hermione about the conversation they had heard. She seemed startled to hear that Dumbledore wasn't able to attend their arriving to school because of a family emergency (that know one seemed to be able to figure out.)

The sorting was postponed as planned and the first years looked more confused then ever. They would trip on every trick stair, go through every false door, but they seemed to rather enjoy it. One day when Harry had heard that they weren't going to wait for Dumbledore to do the Quidditch tryouts, Harry was rushing into the field. Ron was trying out for the team. Harry was still seeker but all of the 7th years had gone including Oliver Wood. Harry's mind boggled over Quidditch and how cool it would be to play on the same team as Ron when...BONKKKK!!!!!!!! He Crashed into a small 1st year old boy with blond hair and bright yellow rather warm eyes." err..... sorryy I didn't see where I was going".

Harry apologized to the boy when he heard the too familiar voice, "POTTER!!!!!..".Harry spun around to face the last person he wanted to see...Draco Malfoy... it was Harry realized how much the small boy he crashed into and draco Malfoy looked alike (except for the little boys soft yellow eyes).

As if Draco read his mind He screamed at Harry," HOW DARE YOU RUN INTO MY LITTLE BROTHER LIKE THAT!"

"Hey, I said I was sorry, drop it Malfoy" Harry said keeping his hand gripped on his wand just in case.

" YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY BROTHER, IM LETTING YOU GO THIS TIME. I DON'T WANT HIM TO HANG AROUND FILTHY MUGGLE LOVERS LIKE YOU!!!" Malfoy yelled.

Harry would have grabbed his wand and done the jelly legs curse at Malfoy right that minute, but something distracted him. Malfoy's little brother seemed so week and skinny. Even skinnier than Harry had been with the Dursleys. The boy looked so helpless hiding behind Malfoy like that, so harry loosened his grip on his wand, feeling almost sorry for the little kid.

He was turning around to leave when he heard Malfoy in an unusual comforting voice," Come on Hermes, ill show you the potions classroom" Harry then remembering he was suppose to meet Ron at the Quidditch field , sped up in a jog , trying to get to the field on time.

He watched as all the players tried things that they were told to do like score the Quaffle and hit the Bludger. Even though Harry's eyes were on the game his head was back in the corridor with Draco and his helpless brother. How come Draco wasn't weak and skinny like Hermes. At the end Harry came to the conclusion that Hermes probably had some sort of magical sickness that caused him his condition.

Harry decided he would tell Hermione and Ron when they went to pick up Hermione from the Hospital Wing. She had been there for 4 days just reading and talking to Harry and Ron when they came to visit...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rest of the day went by pretty smoothly. Dumbledore still wasn't back yet. He hadn't heard from Draco. The weather was perfect. But the thought of what he had saw before kept bugging him. When at last they reached the Hospital Wing harry was relieved to spill it all out about the encounter. Today finally Hermione was allowed back to the common room and as they walked her over they conversed

Then Hermione with a curious glint in her eyes after she had heard the story and investigatingly asked," Harry, what did Hermes look like?"

Harry explained" he had pure blond hair big yellow soft eyes and was so skinny and weak that if Draco stood in front of him, you couldn't see him."

"If Draco stood in front of ANYONE you still wouldn't be able to see them! Did you notice he gained a few pounds over the summer too?" Ron said sarcastically.

"Hmmmm....." Hermione said out loud as they walked into the Gryffindor common room " blond hair, yellow eyes , obviously weak and ------------- wait a minute , wait a minutes, it couldn't be...... blond hair, yellow eyes, weak---------------- OH MY GOSH , OH MY GOSH, IT CANT BE. OH MY GOSH"

Harry and Ron looked at Hermione bewildered. 'What is she talking about', harry thought.

Ron asked Hermione," in English please"

Hermione just replyed ," IT CANT BE, IT JUST CANT.... ILL GET BACK TO YOU GUYS TOMORROW.....---" and she rushed out the common room and flew to what looked like the library. "Figures" Ron observed and sighed, " First day back and strait to the library... sheesh..... well any ways I'm pooped I'm going to bed... gee ... I wish I make it to the team" Ron said.

"Yeah, I wish you do to" Harry said with an encouraging look as he fell into an uneasy sleep...............

Chapter 6 ********** Expect the Unexpected

Harry felt Ron shaking him awake that morning. He reached for his glasses opening his eyes lazily. "Ron," he muttered " What time is it"

Ron replied happily ," uh, I dunno its around 5 I think" Harry felt a surge of anger through him and yelled

" WHY IN THE WORLD DID YOU WAKE ME AT 5 IN THE MORNING???!!!"

" Harry, I made the team, I made the team, I'm the new Quidditch team Captain and Chaser!!!!", Ron exclaimed. Harry and Ron both jumped on the floor and started to do their little victory dance.

"that's great Ron!" Harry replied.

Ron than said," Lets go tell Hermione" and he grasped harry around the wrist and started pulling him to the girls dorm.

" Ron were not 'spose to go in there" Harry said hastily.

Ron just said," Yeah, and we aren't suppose to bring invisibility cloaks to school are we?" And they were standing inside the girls dorm. It was easy to tell which 4 poster belonged to Hermione because hers was surrounded by books scattered on the floor along with parchment and quills. They went over to her bed but when they looked the bed was empty.

"Maybe this isn't her 4 poster" Harry suggested. Ron sarcastically replied ," Yeah and maybe Snape just pretends to hate us but he really is planning on giving us a huge surprise bunny party next week, c'mon!"

They looked over at the other 4 poster beds. It wasn't that hard to tell whos was whos. Around the curtains on the next bed there was a sign hung up magically that said "Parvati" surrounded by divination symbols.

The one after that also had a sign that said " Lavander" almost identical to Parvati's only this one had a pink background rather that purple like Parvati's.

then there was another dorm that looked just like an extra. Ron whispered as a bolt of energy swept through him," I know where she is!"

They both looked at each other and said," the library". And Ron once again grasped Harry's wrist and pulled him out of the dorm and the Gryffindor common room, up the hallway, past the corner and to the library.

There was Hermione al right. "Hi" she said without taking her eyes out of the book.

"I'm the new team captain and chaser!!!" Ron yelled without a proper introduction.

"Congratulation" she said still not looking out of the book. Ron looked rather hurt so Harry changed the subject.

" Hermione, what were you talking about last night, you know when you went fanatic and came down here." She held up her finger symbolizing to wait a minute.

Then she slammed the book shut and started talking to herself once again ," It all adds up, except one thing which we will hopefully find out this week."
"HERMIONE, WILL YOU JUST TELL US WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT " Ron screamed .

Hermione then whispered ," Dumbledore is coming back today, I over heard one of the teachers. So today were having the sorting. If what I think is true and the last bit of evidence I need occurs then I'll tell you."

And with that Hermione walked out of the library. Harry and Ron were walking back to the Gryffindor common room when they heard a voice ," love your 'jamies , Potter. Are you planning to start a trend?" it was Malfoy. Harry turned red. He had still been in his pajamas because of Ron's sudden surprise. Harry and Ron both turned around to argue, but something distracted him again.

It was Hermes, weak and hiding behind Draco. Ron seemed to know who it was too, from what harry had told him. Both of them stared at Hermes who stared back. Draco moved rather uncomfortably and stepped in front of Hermes blocking him out of view. Harry and Ron looked at each other. Ron shrugged and they walked back to the common room heads full of thoughts. Draco yelled back at them with a tinge of uncomfort still in his voice, "We wouldn't be caught dead at any pajama party of yours!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That night both Harry and Ron were eager to find out what family emergency Dumbledore was talking about, and what Hermione was going to tell them. Harry had lost his appetite and some of his hope as Dumbledore's seat remained empty. Then the door of the great hall flew open just as it had when Professor Moody had walked in last year, it didn't look like Dumbledore, 'who could it be', harry thought.

He drank a little pumpkin juice so no one would be able to tell his mouth was hanging open in suspense. Then the person walked inside into the light. At the site of the person the whole Hall became silent, except Harry who at the site of the person began to choke on his pumpkin juice. Hermione quickly muttered some words under her mouth and Harry stopped coughing. But he couldn't stop his instincts and he loudly asked," Miss.Figg?!!!!!!??!?"

Harry couldn't believe it, the lady that had babysitted him for all his life, was a witch! He had never really thought about miss.figg being a which before and he knew how extremely stupid he must have sounded talking when everyone was silent. But Miss.Figg replied ," Hello Harry" In a rather nice voice. It was Miss.Figg alright, only she looked about 30 years younger, didn't have a drained voice anymore, and her hair swung openly, but no denying it, Harry knew it was the one and only Miss.Figg! Mc.Gonagall broke the silence," Everyone may I please introduce your new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher?" There was a rush of whispers. Harry watched in disbelief as Miss.Figg the cat lady he knew for so long became his new teacher. Professor Mc.Gonagall interrupted their thoughts again by saying," Well carry on" .

Then Ron asked curiously," Harry, how do u know our new D.A.D.A teacher?"

Harry just replied to the curious looking Hermione and Ron," She would baby-sit me when the Dursleys would leave somewhere" Harry said without taking his eyes off of her ,"you know the one I told you about, the cat lady" Harry continued. Hermione then asked ," She has cats? Well than Harry you should have known she was a witch, those weren't ordinary cats those were magical cat looking creatures calle---" She was cut off by the door of the Great Hall opening once again, Harry then tore his eyes away from Miss.Figg and turned to the Hall along with the rest of the school.

This had to be Dumbledore. When Harry looked to the doors he saw two figures, one a little shorter. Wait a minute Harry thought this couldn't be Dumbledore could it?, and for a second harry thought perhaps they were death eaters. But his question was revealed for Dumbledore walked into the light," Good Afternoon everyone" he said.

The whole hall seemed to give a great sigh of relief and turned to the figure behind Dumbledore . As it walked into the light Fred, George, Harry and Ron gave a huge gasp, for it was the girl they crashed into at the train station, and her head was wrapped in bandages (you know the white kind you wrap around your head *i dunno what its called* and looked as though she just went through surgery!

Could Harry of caused that big injury on her head the day he knocked the trunks on her? Was this the reason Dumbledore wasn't at their first day? Could Harry of done all this?!? Find out in the next chapter!

Chapter 7 *********** Kadidas and Hermes

Harry and Ron both looked at each other with horrific looks on their faces, could they have done this the day they knocked into her? Hermione looked at Ron and Harry with suspicion but then turned back to Dumbledore and the girl, who were now walking up the great hall. Harry glanced a look over to Fred and George, who had their mouths hanging open and obviously also thinking about the day at the train station.

Harry turned back to Dumbledore who had now reached the staff table and now flicked his wand and everyone could hear his voice.

"Good Evening students and welcome to a brand new year at Hogwarts. (usually everyone would applaud at this but today no one moved) Sorry, for my inconvenience of being late, but I do hope you enjoyed you short holiday while I was away. Well anyways lets go on with the sorting, first years please line up at the stage" Dumbledore said.

And Harry watched as the little table of first years scurried up to the stage and formed a line. Harry saw Mc.Gonagall walk up to them and tell them instructions, but Harry didn't hear her, his mind was focused on the girl, she seamed to be at least in her 4th or 5th year. Then he remembered what she had said about moving around allot.

Harry turned to Ron to tell him what he remembered but Ron spoke up first ," Harry, you don't think she's going to attend Hogwarts this year do you?"

Harry was about to answer but Hermione interrupted ,"Why? What's wrong with her attending Hogwarts, she's probably just an exchange student"

Harry was about to speak again but this time Ron interrupted ," Hermione, you wouldn't know you weren't there you didn't see what happened."

Harry was going to say something once again but didn't have a chance because Hermione argued," Why, what happened?'' and Harry watched as Ron and Hermione had a whole conversation about the day at the train station, as Harry watched the first years being sorted.

Mc.Gonagall than shouted ''Newbert , yaani " and ''Nylee, Holly'' (who were sorted into Ravenclaw and Slytherin) and then came ''Malfoy,Hermes" and Hermione and Ron stopped arguing and totally focused on the little boy as he walked up to the hat. The hat took at least 12 minutes, in which not a sound was heard except a few conversations coming from various gossip table, Harry glanced a look at Draco who looked proud and sure but still extremely nervous.

Harry was about to point this bizarre event out to Hermione but she looked almost frozen to the sorting hat, So harry stopped himself. After about 2 more minutes the Sorting Hat finally open the slit as his mouth and shouted something no one in the whole hall expected...

"HUFFLEPUFF"!

No one applauded like usual they just stared as the small boy walked nervously over to the Huffle Puff table, everyone kept glancing over to Draco, who's expression looked as though he were about to say 'there's been some sort of mistake' but didn't. The silence was broken by Hermione whispering excitedly into Harry and Ron's ear ," I knew it! " Harry was going to ask Hermione what she knew but the shock was still on him intensely. He then noticed how stupid he must have looked with his mouth hanging open (some drool even leaking out from the amount of time it had been open) and his eyes squinted trying to get a better look at Hermes.

So he shut his mouth and *tried* to turn his attention to the sorting. From Mc.Gonagall's voice even she sounded amazed.

Harry's mind was still in the back of his head until he heard the familiar voice of Dumbledore saying ,"Yes, looks like we have a great batch of first years here this year. And may I wish you all very good luck in your upcoming years. But, we have yet one more student to be sorted, may I introduce my 5th year niece, Kadidas." The whole hall turned to the girl who was now walking to the sorting hat with an interested look on her face which she had through out the whole sorting. She sat down on the stool and put the hat on, which fell right over her eyes.

The whole hall watched curiously, even Snape had a weird look on his face. 6 minutes went by when the sorting hat let out a rare sound. Then another and Harry knew it was laughing!

The hat began to laugh on her head and she had a mischievous smile on her face.

The Sorting hat laughed some more and then said ," Oh, that was a good one. This ones definitely GRYFFINDOR, oh my, I will remember this one" .

The girl Kadidas swiftly took off the hat and put it back on the stool and walked to the Gryffindor table. The whole hall watched her suspiciously as she sat down at the end of the table near nearly headless nick. The hat continued to giggle time by time, which just made everyone more suspicious, what had she done to it?

Dumbledore once again began to talk but Harry didn't hear him. All his attention was on Kadidas who had a small grin and was looking at the hall with amusement. And before he knew it he was walking back up the familiar case of stairs to the Gryffindor common room. He kept glancing over to Kadidas who was looking at the school amazed.

Harry, Hermione and Ron decided to stay and talk in the common room for a couple of minutes trying to take their mind off all the events that had just occurred.

They were in the middle of talking about when the first Quidditch match would be when Ron suddenly burst out to Hermione,"Hermione, what is it about Hermes Malfoy!?!" Hermione looked at Ron and then replied rather quietly ," He's a GullogTuff"

Ron looked at Hermione weirdly and replied with a rather annoyed voice ," I know he's a Hufflepuff, I was asking what you knew about him"

Hermione replied now looking a little annoyed," Not Hufflepuff, well he is a Hufflepuff but any ways, I said a Gullogtuff. Hold on let me get something"

And she ran upstairs to the 5th year girls dorm obviously getting a book of some sort. When she came back, she had a book that looked as though it would of taken up half the space in his trunk! She told them that she had read this in the hospital wing when Madam Pompfry wouldn't let them visit. She quickly turned to the book marked page and read...

" H. Hufflepuff, one of the 4 supporters of Hogwarts, knew that Hufflepuff would need some glory so she made one out of every 894th Hufflepuff a Gullogtuff. A Gullogtuff is supplied with enough power (even though it might not seem so) to do extraordinary events. H.HufflePuff thought that her plan would work but the spell combined with another to confuse it. Now a Gullogtuff's extraordinary powers were contained inside the Gullogtuff's blood, meaning that anyone who drank the blood of a GullogTuff's blood would be accompanied by magical strength and so on. The Gullogtuffs now risk their lives every minute and appear very small skinny and weak. Also the hair of a Gullogtuff turns blond also ,the GullogTuffs eyes turn yellow when blood is draken. All GullogTuffs are in danger for dark wizards search for Gullogtuffs constantly , trying to get a hold of some of their blood which is extremely valuable".

Harry thought about this silently. Could Hermes really be a Gullogtuff? Was Hermes life really in danger? What did Kadidas do to the sorting Hat? Find out in the next chapter.

A/N so didya like those chapters? Once again sorry for my bad grammer, review and i'll put more
