It was getting dark already and most of the people were already there. It was a month and a half since the meeting of the elders. New castle was built. It was indeed an exact same replica. McGonagall was the one to make all the arrangements. With the help of Molly and Arthur Weasley, George, Slughorn, Flitwick and Narcissa Malfoy castle was made without any troubles. Unlike the former Hogwarts students, the rest of the gang was looking around amazed.
When McGonagall opened the doors of the Great Hall everyone got closer. Not paying too much attention to each other they just followed her when she said they were ready for them to enter. They all stopped when she turned to them and got up the few stairs on the platform at the end of the big room. At the big main table there were six men sitting. And place in the middle was empty.
"Well you all know why you are here. Without making this any longer I will ask the former Hogwarts students to get to the tables as they used to. Miss Granger, Miss Weasley, Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley you four are going at the Gryffindor table. Miss Lovegood to the Ravenclaw. Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Zabini to the Slytherin table. As for the rest of you, you will be sorted right away and will be joining your colleagues. Now as I read your name and the house you are sorted at you will sit at the table. Have I made myself clear?"
McGonagall looked really strict at the moment and everybody just nodded waiting for her to continue.
"We will start with our friends from the Beacon Hills.
Stiles Stilinski- Ravenclaw
Lydia Martin- Ravenclaw
That will be that from this list"
Stiles and Lydia went towards the pale skinned girl who was already smiling at them. They introduced themselves and she just smiled and said her name. When they found their place Minerva cleared her throat.
"We are ready to continue now. Same rules apply for the rest of you standing. I will now start to read the list and you will just go towards your table.
Niklaus Mikaelson- Slytherin
Kol Mikaelson- Slytherin
Malachai Parker- Slytherin
Caroline Forbes- Gryffindor
Bonnie Bennett- Ravenclaw
Rebekah Mikaelson- Slytherin
Katerina Petrova- Slytherin
That will be it. Now the Minister would-"
"It's actually Katherine Pierce" She hissed while walking towards the table. Everyone was looking at her, but she didn't really pay any attention to them at all. McGonagall looked at her and decided to ignore her comment.
"As I was saying the Minister will now read you the rules of the training." She finished and sat in her chair while Kingsley approached her previous spot. He was looking like himself again his long purple and blue robes. He looked at everyone for a few seconds when he started:
"Dear friends, you all know why you're here. Tonight we made an alliance between all of us. From now on it's all up to you. There are only few rules so I will read them right on.
to keep away from any kind of conflicts so that your stay here will be comfortable.
2. You are obligated to go to every class there is so that you can be as prepared as you can.
3. Make sure to practice your skills whenever you can.
I hope you will respect this institution and try your best to protect the world. I would also like to introduce our guests here tonight. First your new instructor, Alan Deaton." As he stood up and bowed a bit he smiled slightly and sat back down. Everyone just clapped. "Now we have Chris Argent, Peter Hale, Alaric Saltzman and Elijah Mikaelson" As he said their names they all got up and so that everyone could see them.
"I wish you all the best. Let the feast begin."
At the reading of the roles half of the people rolled their eyes. This was so stupid. Why would they have a need to make these stupid rules? It's kind of implied by itself isn't it?
The feast begun and the tables were starting to fill with food just out of nowhere and it was quite fascinating for the newcomers to Hogwarts. Everyone started to eat. Next to every vampire there was a wine glass that filled itself with blood. Everyone looked around at everyone. It was going to be an interesting alliance.
"After the feast you will all get a chance to say goodbye to people sitting next to me." Kingsley added. Everyone just kept talking to each other. Gryffindors were getting along just fine. Ravenclaws also got along very well. Hufflepuff table was empty. At the Slytherin table you could see two wizards talking, Mikealsons at the other side talking, Katherine was mostly checking everything around her, and Kai who leaned onto the wall behind the bench whit closed eyes. Obviously not everyone was here willingly.
