Chapter 3: Unto Hogwarts and Sorting
Ginny wasn't happy. It's been more than a week since the eggs first appeared and only Gloria and Ramona has hatched, but the other two hadn't. Not only that but they were haven't a hard time getting to the train station, because in a car with 6 students someone kept forgetting something.
On the plus side Molly now completely believed the special discount after a talk with Mr. Diggory she found out her son has the discount too.
"We're never going to get there…" muttered Gloria.
At King's Cross, Cormac, Heather and their Guardian Characters hung out in a special compartment right behind the Prefects compartment.
"When is someone else going to get here." Complained Heather as she was strumming a guitar.
"With you being the leader now you should learn patience." Said the boy the two Weasley women met at Diagon Alley entering the compartment.
"Hey Johnny." Said Heather.
The boy now known as Jonathan (as was what he went by) took a seat next to Cormac, while his Garden Character flew to Heather's.
"Hey Melody, haven't seen you in a while." Said knightly character.
"We've been though this Lance! No means no!" yelled Heather's Guardian Character named Melody.
"Well looks likes Lance still loves the ladies." Came a rather ditzy voice.
In came a 12 girl with long blonde hair and a rather cold expression, with hair was a blonde Guardian Character wearing a bright pink dress.
"Waiting for Cedric I see." Said the girl taking a seat.
"The Slytherin of the group, cold as always." Said Cormac.
"Shut up McLaggen." Said the girl.
"No way Davis." Responded Cormac.
"Come on Trace, we get along. Don't we." Said Heather trying to calm things down.
"Well yeah, we do." Said the girl named Tracey, "But that's only because you hate your cousin more than I do."
"That I do." Said Heather.
"Looks like everyone's here." Said Cedric Diggory entering the compartment with his Guardian Character, a male with red hair and a snitch on his head wearing Quidditch robes.
"Well until we have to introduced ourselves to the new Prefects then out meeting will begin." Explained Heather.
"So has Ginny arrived yet?" asked Cedric taking a seat next to Jonathan.
"No, they're running late." Said Cormac.
"Can't be really surprised." Said Heather, "Harry Potter's staying with them, meaning they have six kids there."
After a while, it was almost time for the train to leave, Heather, Jonathan, Melody and Lance all kept watch. That was when they saw the Weasley family come though the barrier quickly. Strangely, Ron and Harry didn't come though. They watched as Molly and Arthur tired to figure out what was wrong with the barrier, it was decided that Molly made sure that the four were on the train while Arthur was checking out the barrier along with other parents.
"That's weird." Said Heather.
"Someone, or something blocked the barrier." Said Jonathan.
"Is that even possible." Said Cedric.
"Well apparently it is." Said Jonathan.
"When are we going to tell?" whispered Lance.
"Well we have to wait for Penelope and Clara." Said Jonathan.
"Makes sense." Said Lance.
The train went on it way, with Ginny she was unable to find Hermione, so she was alone in a compartment. Well then again she wasn't really alone since Gloria and Ramona were with her.
"I hope Harry and Ron are all right." Said Ginny.
"Don't worry they will be." Came a voice.
The silver egg came out of Ginny pocket and hatched. Revealing a silver haired girl with the green drop shaped hairpin, wearing a very beautiful green dress.
"Hello, I'm Serena." Said the Guardian Character, "I represent your desire to be ambitious and cunning."
"Ambitious and cunning?" asked Gloria, "That's a load of tripe."
Serena brushed her hair aside, "It's much better than being foolhardy." She said with a smirk.
"What did you say?" asked Gloria.
Ramona got in between them.
"We're all with Ginny. So it's best we don't' fight." Said Ramona.
"Fine." Said Serena.
"Whatever…" muttered Gloria.
Ginny couldn't help but to laugh, even if she was worried for Harry and Ron.
Sometime later in the other compartment, which was empty for some reason, the group which now included Penelope, a Ravenclaw Prefect and her Guardian Character, Clara with wore what looked to be woman's suit, had her dark brown hair in a bun and wore glasses.
"It's always fun to see the new Prefects faces." Laughed Heather, "I'm going to miss it!"
They all sat down and Jonathan took charge of the meeting.
"I found out something about Ginny Weasley." He said.
That was when a blue Ford Angila few passed them. The group stared out the window.
"I think we know what happened to harry Potter and Ron Weasley." Said Heather trying not to laugh.
"Let's all pretend that never happened." Said Tracey, "Esspeiclly since we need to get this meeting going."
Jonathan sighed, "As I was saying, I ran into Ms. Weasley at Diagon Alley. As it turns out, she someone rather unique."
"What do you mean?" asked Heather.
"She has Four Guardian Characters." Said Jonathan.
Needless to say everyone was shocked.
"Is that even possible?" asked Heather.
"I never heard of anyone having more than two." Said Penelope.
"It's entirely possible that Muggles have had more than two." Said Jonathan, "Remember, Witches and Wizards aren't the only ones that have them."
"I think the answer's obvious." Said Tracey, "She has some serious issues."
"Tracey…" sighed Mimi.
That was when a pink hair band made of flowers appeared in her hair.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe there's someone with four of them! That so awesome!" squealed Tracey.
"When I met her, only two her eggs were hatched. So I'm sure, one of the other two has hatched." Explained Jonathan.
"Still… this is unprecedented." Said Penelope.
Cormac didn't look happy.
"What wrong?" asked Cedric.
"Heather's going to choose her over me for her replacement." Muttered Cormac.
Heather smiled evilly.
"We don't know whether or not she will be placed in Gryffindor." Said Penelope.
"She's a Weasley, of course she's going to wind up Gryffindor." Said Tracey back to normal.
There was an awkward silence in the room.
"Heather." Whispered Penelope, "Did you tell Cormac yet?"
"No… of course not… not until it's confirmed that Ginny is sorted into Gryffindor."
Penelope sighed, then shook her head.
"Of course she wouldn't tell Cormac she doesn't need it any more." Muttered Clara.
With Ginny she couldn't help get the feeling that someone was talking about her a lot.
AT the station, they arrived, with Hagrid calling the first years. Ginny met up with Luna and the two of them took the boat with a boy named Colin and a girl named Marina.
They watched in awe at the castle up ahead.
"Oh wow… that is amazing!" said Gloria.
They sail into a cave and were into the castle for sorting. They were lead to an area where Pro. McGonagall told them about the different houses. When she left all the new first years were chatting away with what was going on.
"I heard we have to fight a troll." Said one boy.
"I heard it was personality test." Said a girl.
They were let into the great hall where the sorting hat sat on a stool. The Hat Sang a song which surprised everyone (well in the first year) which caused everyone to applauded. After the song, they began the sorting. A student wore the hat and it called out which house they belonged into. Luna was sorted into Ravenclaw while Colin and Marina were sorted into Gryffindor. The problem with being a Weasley was that she was the last. Eventually they called her name.
"Weasley, Ginevra." Called Pro. McGonagall.
Ginny's three Guardian Characters giggled at when Ginny blushed at the name and the hat was placed on her head.
"Very interesting." Came a voice.
Ginny began to get scared.
"Don't worry… It is just me." Said the voice who was the Sorting Hat, "Let's see. You fit all four houses, and your Guardian Characters are proof of that. But since you're a Weasley, it better be…"
"Gryffindor!" yelled the hat.
All of Gryffindor applauded Ginny who took a seat next to Hermione.
"What is it?" asked Ginny.
"Ron and Harry flew your father's car here and crashed into the Whomping Willow." Explained Hermione.
"Really?" asked Ginny who was shocked.
"They better not get expelled for that stunt." Muttered Hermione.
Heather looked at Ginny while fingering a pendent around her neck.
"She'll make a good replacement. Much better than Cormac." She thought.
Dumbledore looked at Ginny and her Guardian Characters. He was able to see them, for certain reasons. He saw her amount and looked at Heather eyeing her. He couldn't help but to chuckle.
"It's going to be interesting year for the Guardians." he mused.
Next Time: Heather offers Ginny to join a get together to celebrate the first day of school. But as it turns out, it's something more. Ginny will learn about a secret history that only Teachers, Prefects and Head Students have learned. And a duty that can only be performed by Character Bearers as their known. What will happen? Find out next time!
A/N: I will go into detail about the choice of characters (including OCs) next chapter. So yeah...
