Chapter 2 Howdy Folks

"Ron, that's not how you do that!" screamed Hermione Granger at Ron Weasley who was trying to dust a lamp with a broom. Suddenly she jumped as something cold touched her on her lower back. She spun around to see a German Shepard waging its tail at her. She lowered herself to the dog's level and started to scratch him behind the ears. "Where did you come from?" asked Hermione to the dog.

"He came with me," said Jack as he stood in the doorway of what looked like a very old and dusty den.

"Who are you?" asked Hermione as she stood up to the boy standing in the doorway leading into the kitchen. He was about Ron's height, maybe a little taller, but unlike Ron this guy looked strong. He had tennis shoes on, with blue jeans, black t-shirt, and on his head sat a dark gray baseball hat.

"I'm Jack O'Neill. That's O'Neill with two l's" said O'Neill as he put his hand out to her. She wore a pink sweater with what looked like designer jeans. She had long curly brown hair and was about a head shorter then him. Before he could say anything else, they heard another voice coming from the corner of the room.

"Nice doggy, good doggy, please don't bite me," said a pale white boy, with red hair and lots of freckles. He wore blue jeans and an orange T-shirt with the words Chudley Cannons written on it. In front of him stood Sparky, still waging his tail.

"Don't worry," said Jack to the pale face boy, "he won't bite, unless I tell him to." That's when Jack saw a boy dressed in blue jeans and wearing a blood red T-shirt. He had glasses, black hair, and on his forehead was a lighten bolt scar. The boy looked up through his glass and stared at Jack with bright green eyes.

"Who are you?" asked the boy.

"I am Jack O'Neill," said Jack.

"Bloody hell, you're an American" said Ron as he stepped forward to be where Jack, Hermione, and Harry stood.

"Last time I checked" said Jack to the red haired boy. Suddenly a women stood behind Jack and she, had red hair and freckles just like the red haired boy.

"Ah you must be Jack O'Neill," said the woman, "Dumbledore said that you were coming. I am Molly Weasley and it's time for lunch." Jack and the others followed Mrs. Weasley into the kitchen Jack, was stunned to see silver wear and plates with food flying through the air. The boys sat together at one end of the square table and the girl sat down next to the boy with red air. Jack sat down next to her. Just as Jack sat down a plate flew down and landed right in front of him. "Excuse me," said Mrs. Weasley, "Do you want tea or something else?"

"I'll take some black coffee," said Jack. "If you have some." With a flick of the wand a cup of coffee appeared in front of Jack.

"I can't see how you stupid Americans can drink that crap," said the red haired boy.

"Well, I can't see how you can insults my drink and nation and still be so rude as not to tell me your name," said Jack with a crack smile on his face.

"Ron how could you haven been so rude" said Mrs. Weasley hands on her hips.

"I am Hermione Granger," introduced the girl next to Jack.

"I am Ron Weasley," said the red haired boy.

"And I am Harry Potter" said black haired boy. Jack looked at Harry and thought this is the kid that I have guard. Suddenly another girl sat down across the table from Jack, and she had red haired just like Mrs. Weasley and Ron Weasley.

"Let me guess," said Jack to the red haired girl. "you are a Weasley?" The girl stared at the stranger she had not noticed when she had sat down.

"Yah I'm Ginny" said Ginny "and who are you?"

"I'm Jack O'Neill" said Jack to the girl. After they eat "Well now what's next"

"What do you mean?" asked Harry to the strange boy

"Well I don't think you British people sit around all day drinking tea," said Jack to the boy he had to guard "That is, unless you're the King of England." That remark made all but Harry laugh.

"Well, if you are looking for a job to do the library needs a lot of cleaning." Said Mrs. Weasley "Jack, you will be sharing a room with Harry and Ron." Ron led Jack carrying his trunk with Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Sparky following them. Jack walked into the room to see two beds with stuff all over them, and in the corner by the door was an empty four-poster bed. As he placed his things on the bed Ron came up and sat down.

"So Jack, why are you here?" Jack looked at him with a confused look

"What do you mean?" said Jack to the Ron.

"Well, are you going to Hogwarts and why you are here at the order of the Phoenix?" asked Harry as he walked up behind Jack.

"Yes, I am going to Hogwarts for my 5th year" said Jack as he pulled his hat off of his head to show his short military buzz cut black hair "and the reason I am here is that my dad is in this order, same as your parents."

"You are going into the 5th year," said Hermione with a smile "So are Harry, Ron, and myself. Do you know what house you're be in?" Jack turned and stared at her

"What do you mean by a house?" asked Jack.

"Well, there are 4 houses in Hogwarts and the students are split into them by traits." said Hermione to Jack, "Gryffindor is for the brave that's our house, Ravenclaw is for the smart, Hufflepuff is for the loathly, and Slytherin is for the evil people." Jack looked at Hermione.

"Well who decides were people go?" asked Jack as his dog jumped onto the bed to get some sleep.

"Well the sorting hat looks into your mind and then it decides were you belong," said Ginny.

Sudden Mrs. Weasley shouted from the bottom floor. "The den isn't going to clean itself" The kids got up and walked down stairs into the den.

The den was dusty and dark. It was full of old books in the corner and the door stood a grandfather clock, but it wasn't working. After a few hours or so everyone was covered with dust but yet it they had yet to make a visible dent in the liberty. "Well, that was fun," said Jack as he put took a drink of water.

"What time is it?" asked Ginny as she used a rag to get some of the dust off her face.

"Well, that's clock's broken so you have to go to the kitchen," said Ron to his little sister.

"Well I can more then likely fix that clock" said Jack as he walked over to the clock and opened the bottom base. Sudden there appeared in front of the clock three dead bodies, they all wore the same uniform on, and all of them had a huge burn mark on their chest. One was a man about 30 with glasses and a pistol by him. Lying a few feet away was a woman she had a bigger gun laying by her side. The other man was black and muscular with a golden tattoo on his head, he had three burn marks on his chest, and lying next to him was a gray staff. Jack just stood there wide-eyed staring at the bodies. Suddenly Harry moved forward and the bodies were transformed into a Dementor.

He pulled out his wand pointed it at the creature, and said "Riddikulus" the Demenor burst into a million little pieces and Harry began to laughed. Jack stood up his eyes still wide

"What in the world was that?" said Jack as he sat down, again this time by Hermione and Ginny with Harry standing over him. Ron laughed

"What don't they teach you about Boggarts in America" Jack looked at the red haired teenage punk

"Well I guess if you saw your parents lying dead on the ground you wouldn't be shocked" said Jack as he stood up and stared down into the eyes of the kid.

"They are your parents?" asked Hermione "but they had muggle guns"

Jack looked turned his gaze from Ron to Hermione. When he looked at Hermione he softened his gaze before he spoke "Well my Dad was never around so I was pretty much raised by them"

"Where was your mother during this?" asked Ginny.

"My mother died," said Jack to the red haired girl. Before anymore could say any more Mrs. Weasley yelled for teatime. After a few days it was time to leave for King's crossing.
