Chapeter two : Nary Floppins and merry go rounds
I do not own anything you recognize. The basic plot and familiar characters belong to the one and only J.K Rowling.
Dressed in school robes, stomachs growling, the newly made friends found their way into the already crowded great hall. As a line of terrified looking first years lined up to be sorted, Professor Mcogonal cleared her throat catching the attention of the hall.
" This year, we will be starting off a bit differently with the sorting, for the first time in a very long time; we will be having a new sixth year student who has been admitted to our school out of her school in Japan. " Her statement was greeted by a great number of mumblings though out the hall as well as several heads turning in hope of possibly steeling a glance at the supposed, " new kid. " " Let the sorting begin! Let us first start with the sixth year, do we have one Nikieko Mieki in the crowd??? "
Slowly and nervously Niki stood and started walking towards the small stool, upon which sat a hat. She could feel the stares following her every movement as the professor gestured for her to sit as she placed the hat onto her head. She had been told that a hat was in charge of who went into which house, but she was startled to hear the hat speaking to her as she patiently sat waiting for the answer.
" Hmmm. A very sharp mind, ah yes, a potential trouble maker. Expelled from your old school. My, my, my, Slytherin perhaps? No, no, no, no there is something here, something more. A touch of destiny about you. Must be a GRYFFINDOR ! ! ! ! ! ! "
Grateful that the hat had not spent too much time choosing which house to put her in, she slipped off of the stool and made her way to the Gryffindor table to join her friends. The stares that she had felt earlier had never left her and stayed with her until Mcognol cleared her throat once more. She looked across the table to be greeting by the two twins with freakishly identical grins spread across each of their faces.
" what? ? ? " she asked, curious as to why they were looking at her like they knew something she didn't.
" well, we just thought that maybe "
" you were a bit "
" Scared, walking up there ? " the brothers replied, each taking part in one sentence.
" Fear is a useless emotion. It is pointless, I for one, have learned to overcome it. " She replied.
" oh come on, you cant be telling us there is nothing at all, nothing in this entire world that scares you even for the tiniest of moments ? " asked George.
" Even me and George have our occasional fear; losing our sense of humor, the occasional sheep, for instance. " Explained Fred.
Andy, having not been fully listening to the conversation, clapped along with the rest as a boy named Leonard Donohue was made Ravenclaw he ran to the table to be embraced by an older boy in his seventh year.
Donohue, Donohue… where on earth have I heard that name before?!?!?!?
She thought, though her thoughts were interrupted by Niki who had decided to bring her back into the conversation.
" what are you afraid of Andy ? "
" what ? Oh right uhm well, merry go rounds and clowns. " She replied hoping to god that they were only half listening and hadn't caught how utterly weird that her fears were.
"ohkay now that is definitely not something you hear every day…" said Niki.
" merry go rounds?!?! What on this planet is even in the slightest but frightening about a merry go round? ? ?"
"you know, they just have those horses that are smiling those huge and positively ginormous smiles like they are going to come and eat you in the middle of the night. Marry Poppins was absolute torture for me"
"what on earth is a Nary Floppins???" asked George, a very puzzled frown upon his face.
"you know, the super pretty woman flies in on an umbrella and saves these two kids from a line of truly awful nannies…well if you don't like that what kind of movies do you guys like?"
"is this supposed to make any sort of sense to us?" asked Niki
"movies?" asked George.
"excuse me what?" questioned Andy, after seeing the confused looks on all three faces staring back at her she continued, "so you guys are telling me, you've never seen marry Poppins???"
"that would be a correct statement." Replied Fred.
"please, please tell me you've at least seen lion king," more confusion, "At least one movie, Even the classics?!?!? Hercules?!? A goofy movie, Cinderella, Aladdin???" yet more confusion, "oh my god, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST?!?!?!" and still even more confusion. "oh you guys are so movie deprived!"
"what is a beauty doing with a beast? If she is so beautiful, why doesn't she get with some hottie? A goofy movie sounds just retarded. And goofy. What is all of this???" asked Niki.
"ohkay this is just getting ridiculous, by the end of this month, or maybe a bit more into the next month, you three are going to be Walt Disney experts, you will know every subliminal message by heart." She said already planning a series of movie nights in the common room for the upcoming weekends.
"alright fine, but don't think even for the tiniest bit of a second that you are getting away with these fears of yours just because we were distracted by this…this…hairy lopins woman of yours." Said Fred grinning evilly.
Before she was able to think of a smart retort she was cut off by an uproar of cheering as the last first year, a young girl by the name of Gloria Zelwinger was chosen for the hufflepuff house.
As the cheering died down professor Dumbledore rose from the long table and stepped forward. He said a few things about some sort of triwizard tournament that only wizards of age could enter; the twins shouted something about it being absurd, the girls however were busy talking about this Donahue person.
" I don't know, he just seems super familiar. Not the way he looks, just his name, aaaaaaaaaaaaaahg it's on the tip of my tongue!!!!!" said Andy
"well lets hope he is not in some way related to you, his brother is fiiiiiiiiiiine." Said Niki, smiling flirtatiously at the boy sitting next to Leonard, who naturally smiled back.
"Niki stop that you are distracting the entire point of this conversation!"
"What, I can become friends with him, and when I introduce him to you, you can take a drink and he will say, 'oh! I know Andy, we were – insert the reason he is familiar to
you- and scene!" replied Niki, obviously thinking of how she could benefit from this and not just Andy.
"Come on you two, to the common room we go!" said Fred.
Dumbledore had finished his oddly extensive speech and students were slowly filing out of the hall. The Donohue brothers looked like the storybook kind of siblings. The older one gave Leonard an affectionate punch on the shoulder before sending him off with the other excited looking first years.
"And so begins our sixth year classes at Hogwarts!" exclaimed Fred, as the group made their way out of the great hall.
