A/N – Hey, everybody! I'm back! I'm not dead, in case you were wondering, it's just that I think my modem picked up a virus (stupid computer) and the Internet didn't work for the LONGEST time. Now its back up (for a very short time, most likely) and I need to get this up. This is the third part of my story; I just changed the name 'cause I got a great idea. (The story used to be The Gift.) I also got about a million other great ideas, so I'm thinking of making this into a series of stories. What do ya think? I'll only do it if I get a lot of good reviews for the rest of this story.
Disclaimer-I own the new people at Hogwarts, and JK Rowling owns EVERYTHING else, like usual.
The Traitor
Part Three
"You're lucky you caught her in time," Madame Pomfrey told Harry and Ron in the hospital wing.
Harry, Ron and Sirius had arrived at Hogwarts after the Nixpheo incident, carrying Hermione. Harry and Ron had managed to dive and catch her, but she fainted and had to be carried back.
"You better get down to the Great Hall," said Madame Pomfrey. "The Sorting must be starting." She left thee room to get some cold cloths. "And don't worry!" she cried over her shoulder. "You're friend will be okay!"
Harry, Ron and Sirius started down to the Great Hall. They met the new first years on their way in, and hurried inside. As soon as they closed the door, everyone looked at them, expecting to see the first years. But when they saw the three, the Great Hall was suddenly filled with quiet whispers – about Sirius. Harry and Ron hurried to the Gryffindor table, while Sirius went to talk to Professor Dumbledore.
The first years entered the Great Hall, and everyone stopped talking and waited for the Sorting to begin. The Sorting Hat was placed on the stool, opened its "mouth" wide, and started to sing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the Sorting, Harry looked down the table to the new Gryffindors. He wasn't really hungry, since he was worrying about Hermione.
There were 14 new Gryffindors: 7 boys and 7 girls. Twelve students were first years. There was Lana and her twin Tom, Michael, Violet, Tamara and her twin Joanne, Van, Jeremy, Donald, Andrew, Anastasia and Kimberly. They were all first years. The other two, Joshua and Isabelle, were fifth years. They were exchange students from Canada, and best friends by the looks of it.
Harry looked up at the other Gryffindors. Parvati Patil was staring at Joshua with a look of awe on her face. Harry snickered. He glanced at the others. Fred and George were staring at Isabelle with the same looks on their faces as Parvati. Ron was doing the same. Harry had to bite his lip to stifle his laughter, and turned back to his dinner. Looks like Ron forgot about Hermione's accident, Harry thought.
Just then, the doors of the Great Hall opened, and Hermione limped through with the help of Madame Pomfrey. "Hermione!" Harry cried. Ron joined in. "You're okay!" they said in unison. Hermione hurried to the table.
The three were talking about the adventure with Sirius when they heard a "Hello."
They looked up. Isabelle was standing there. Harry gasped, and he heard Ron gasp too. Hermione jabbed his stomach with her elbow and said, "Hello!"
Just then, Dumbledore walked up to the Gryffindor table. "Excuse me, but Joshua, Isabelle, could you please come with me?"
They followed him and Hermione turned on Harry and Ron. "Look, you guys, I know she's pretty, but that's no reason to not be polite!"
Ron rolled his eyes. Harry exclaimed, "It's not that! Didn't you see her eyes?" Hermione shook her head. "They were yellow! YELLOW!"
"Really." Hermione said.
'They were!"
"All right, I believe you. Now wait until you hear this. I forgot to tell you." She glanced around the table, changed her mind, and pulled out a piece of parchment, a quill, and a bottle of ink. She scratched a letter onto the parchment and handed it to Harry and Ron. They read it and looked up at her in amazement.
A/N: What do you think? I'm not telling you anything on the next parts right now. Just R/R!
