Spell 2
"Which House?"
After we changed into our uniform for Hogwarts & the train came to a stop at the train stop of Hogwarts. I stepped out of the train with Harry, Shino, Ron & Yuki behind me, I stretched out my arms & popped my neck. "Gross!" Yuki said behind me, giggling. I shot her a playful glare then looked around until I saw a familiar person. I started to walked towards the person with the rest following. "Hagrid! Long time no see!" I yelled, happily skipping to him with Yuki behind me.
"Oh hello, Oro, Yuki. How you two been?" Hagrid asked me as we stopped in front of him.
This person is Rubeus Hagrid, he is half-giant & half-human. Hagrid has black hair & black eyes, he is very tall like 11ft, 6in. Yuki & I known Hagrid when we were little, my father use bring us to Hogwarts after my mother died & Yuki's parents were killed & when we are not busy with the concerts. "We're fine & you?" I said, sweetly. "Hello, Hagrid." Harry greeted as he stepped up, smiling. "Oh, Harry. I see you met the girls." Hagrid said, smiling while holding a lamp up.
"Yes, and a few others. We became fast friends, right?" Harry turned to us & smiled. We smiled back at him then looked back at Hagrid. "Alright, come along. Let's head to the boats." Hagrid said, as he turned around, his back facing us then started walking forward. We got on the boats & headed into the water to Hogwarts.
Shino, Ron, Harry, Yuki & I were in one boat together, Ron was holding a lamp as our boat followed Hagrid's. I was thinking of what will happened if I was in the wrong family. I know that my father wants me to be in some source of plan of his if I'm was in the Slytherin. One thing I did not know was that my hands were turning scaly until Yuki poked me in the forehead. She had a very worried look on her face then pointed at my hands, I quickly put my hands inside my cape. That is one of my secrets I kept from my friends, comrades, coworkers & even my father. Yuki is the only one who knows of my secrets & she is there to keep a look out if they are showing. "Thanks, Yuki." I said to her in a soft voice. She smiled at me then mouthed, "We have to sneak out later tonight to go to the lake." I nodded my head then looked at ahead & noticed that we had landed on Hogwarts.
"Here we are, now come along." Hagrid said getting out of his boat then help us out of our boat. As we thanked Hagrid, we walked up some stairs into Hogwarts to meet with one of the professors. We were walking up another pair of stairs, the gang & I were talking until we heard someone clear their throat. We looked up as we stopped in front of the person. Yuki & I saw another familiar face, we both stepped up closer to her.
"Professor McGonagall, good evening & it's been a long time." Yuki & I said in union as we bowed to her. "Good evening, girls & it good to see you again. Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moment, you will pass through these doors & join your classmates. But before you can take your seats you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw & Slytherin. Now, while you are here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you house points. Any rule breaking, & you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup."
As McGonagall was talking, a scared looking boy, spotted his toad sitting near McGonagall's feet. He jumped forward. "Trevor!" Grabbing his toad, McGonagall stares down at him, "Sorry." He said, backing away with toad in hand. "The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily." McGonagall said as she turned & leaves.
As she left, a slicked back evil looking boy speaks up. Yuki & I just looked at him with unamused. "It's true then, what they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." We heard students whisper around us, Harry Potter? "This is Crabbe & Goyle." We nodded to the thugs. "And I'm Malfoy... Draco Malfoy." Ron snickered at his name. "Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask yours. Red hair & a hand me down robe? You must be a Weasley." He said to Ron & I was getting angry at Malfoy for talking bad about my new best guy friend. "Hey! Leave Ron alone, Malfoy." I said, glaring at him. He turned to me then started to smirked. "So it was true too. The Snape Beauties did come to Hogwarts, also. You must be Oro Snape by the looks of your eyes & that over there is Yuki Snape, your cousin." I glared at him as Yuki growls softly at him from behind me but Shino was in front of me glaring, too.
"We'll soon find that some wiz adding families are better than others, Potter & Snapes. Don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there." Malfoy said as extends his hand to Harry. "We think we can tell who the wrong sort are for ourselves, thanks." Harry said for us as he just looks at Malfoy. Malfoy glares then McGonagall returns & smacked him on the shoulder with a paper. Yuki & I giggled softly & Shino sighed in relieve. Draco retreated back with one last glare at us. "We're ready for you now." McGonagall leaded everyone through two large doors & into the Great Hall, where there are four long tables with many kids, as well as floating candles.
The roof appears to be the sky. Yuki & I heard everyone wowing & such unlike us though we already seen this place before when father takes us here. "It's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History." Hermione said, looking up at the ceiling. "All right, will you along here, please? Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words." McGonagall said as we came to a stop at the front of the hall. Dumbledore rose from the the main table.
"I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch," He signals to a ragged old man with a cat with red eyes in the back. "Has asked me to remind you that the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you." He finished with a nod then went back to sit at the main table. "When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, & you will be sorted into your houses. Hermione Granger." McGonagall said, unrolling the paper, she was holding.
"Oh, no. Okay, relax." Hermione whispered to herself then goes up to sit on the chair in front of everyone to see. The McGonagall placed the brown old looking hat on her head. "Mental that one, I'm telling you." Ron whispered at us as we nod in agreement. "Ah, right then...hmm...right. Okay...Gryffindor!" The sorting hat yelled then there was cheering. Hermione jumped off the chair with a smile then walked to a table where the Gryffindor house were sitting.
"Draco Malfoy." McGonagall called. Draco saunters up proudly. The tattered hat nearly freaked before touching down on Draco's head. I glared at Draco as he was smirking as me. Shino saw this & stood in front of me, blocking Draco from me. Draco glared at him. "SLYTHERIN!" the hat yelled. "There isn't a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin." Ron said, I nodded my head. "Susan Bones." McGonagall called next.
A small, redhead goes up. I felt eyes on me, I looked around to see Harry also looking around until he spots something. I looked at what he was looking at, only to see him, a black haired, pale teacher, my father, looking at him than at me. I heard a hiss in pain, I looked at Harry to see that he was touching his scar. It most have hurt when he looking at him. "Ahh!" "Harry, what is it? Ron said as Yuki looking at him worried. "Nothing... It's nothing, I'm fine." He said, shaking off the sudden pain. Yuki & I shared a look then looked back at McGonagall. 'Why happened? When Father looked at Harry, his scar began to hurts. Father, what do you do?' I thought as I looked at my father, who was still looking at Harry.
"Let's see...I know...Hufflepuff! " the sorting hat yelled as the redhead, Susan got up from the chair & went to sit with the Hufflepuff house. "Ron Weasley." McGonagall called. Ron gulps, I patted him on the shoulder & gave him an encouragement smile. He smiled back at me the walked up & sat down on the chair & the hat was placed on his head. "Ah! Another Weasley. I know just where to put you...Gryffindor!" the hat said. Ron sighed then got up from the chair, Gryffindor table cheered. "Harry Potter." Called, McGonagall. Everything went dead silent & Dumbledore sat up from his seat to watch & so did my father. 'Well, this is creepy.' I thought as I watched Harry walk up to the chair & sat down. Then McGonagall place the sorting hat on his head.
"Hmm...difficult, very difficult. Plenty of courage I see, not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh yes, & a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?" the hat said, thinking. Harry whispered, "Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin." Closing his eyes. "Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. It's all here in head. And Slytherin will help you on your way to greatness! There's no doubt about that! No?" I watched calmly until I heard Yuki. "Oro, Draco is looking at you." she whispered. I turned my head a little & saw that she was right. Draco was watching & not Harry. "Hmmm, whatever." I whispered, looking back at Harry & the hat. "Not Slytherin...Anything but Slytherin." Harry continued to whisper. "Well, if you're sure...better be... GRYFFINDOR!" There was an immense cheering & Harry walked to the Gryffindor table. Fred & George, Ron's older twin brothers we met at the train, were also there, & cheered: "We got Potter! We got Potter!" Yuki & I giggled at them & Harry sat down.
"Yuki Snape." McGonagall said. Yuki gulped then walked up to sat down in the chair. The hat was placed on her head & I saw father looking at Yuki. "Hmmm... You have a lot of spirit for a young one, girl. You have a talent & you are strong. Gryffindor!" the hat yelled & the Gryffindor table cheered. The twins cheered: We got SnowSnake! We got SnowSnake!" Yuki giggled then walked to sit next to Harry, who looked really happy. I wonder if I can get them together someday. "Oro Snape." My heart stopped for a bit as I looked up to McGonagall then glance towards my father. He looked at me with seriousness, he was watching my every move when I slowly walked up to sit down on the chair. It was quiet, some were whispering to each other. I felt eyes on me, I looked up to see Draco looking at me again with a smirk on his face. I rolled my eyes then went back to focusing on which house I will placed in. "Hmmm... You are very different, girl. You have the heart of pure, the wisdom & power of old. But where to put you?" I whispered. "Not Slytherin..." "No? Alright then... Gryffindor!" I smiled brightly but it soon disappeared when I felt something burning into my back. I do not dare to look because I already knew who it was. I walked up to the Gryffindor table & sat next to Ron, everyone cheered: "We got SnakeHeart! We the Snape Beauties!" Yuki & I laughed. A few hours later, after everyone was sorted to their houses; Shino was in Gryffindor too, I was happy but I can still felt those burning eyes on me. McGonagall tapped a fork to her glass, "Your attention, please." Everyone became quiet, then Dumbledore spoke, "Let the feast... begin." Then suddenly food magically appeared on all the tables, & the hall was filled with awe & chatter.
"Wow." Harry said in awe. Draco looked at all the food, raised his eyebrows & digs in. Ron was already stuffing his face, I giggled at him as I took small amount of food. I was never really a big eater unlike Yuki, who had full plate. I bit into my chicken wing when I heard a tiny boy named Seamus Finnigan speak. "I'm half & half. Me dad's a Muggle." 'There's that word again.' I thought, gigging. "Mam's a witch, Bit of a nasty shock for him when he found out." Neville laughed & I giggled. "What's so funny, Oro?" Shino asked, looking at me weird. I turned my head to him & smiled. "Oh nothing, Shino." Harry was sitting next to Percy, Ron's eldest brother & Fred & George's older brother. He leans over to him.
"Say, Percy, who's that teacher talking to Professor Quirrell?" He asked, pointing to my father. I side glance to see him talking & not staring at me. "Oh, that's Professor Snape, head of Slytherin house. He's also Oro's father & Yuki's uncle." Percy said, looking at father. Harry looked shocked to know that Snape was my father & Yuki's uncle but he did not say anything. "What's he teach?" he asked, looking at me. "Potions. But everyone knows it's the Dark Arts he fancies right, Oro?" Percy said, looking at me. "Yup." I nodded my head, looking towards my father. "He's been after Quirrell's job for years." I said, as father was looking at me with narrow eyes while talking to Quirrell.
