Thank you Wheel or Fortune, KnuxGirl for your reviews!

Trip to the Future

"Slytherin!" yelled the Sorting Hat.

Everyone gasped, and so did Lamora. She was so sure she'd get--

"Gryffindor!" yelled the Hat. "Hufflepuff--no! Ravenclaw! Headmasters, please! Decide where this child will go! I just cannot do this!"

Lamora looked at the Headmasters in confusion. The Headmasters were just as shocked as she was by the Hat's unusual behaviour. Usually the Hat was certain of which House students belonged in, but it wasn't sure where to put Lamora.

Lamora took the Hat off her head and placed it on the stool, walking toward the Headmasters. "So...do you know where I'm gonna go?" she asked nervously.

Then the Headmasters did something Lamora never thought they would do and argued about which House she would be in. All of the Heads had seen her float and they each wanted her rare magic in their House. Greedily they debated with the exception of her dear adopted father. Godric only wanted the best for the girl he loved as if she was his real daughter.

Salazar was the first to announce, "I say she belongs in my House. With her exceptional cunning and power, she would do well in an advanced area!"

"No! She belongs in Hufflepuff!" argued Helga. "She'd do exceptionally well with hard work and doing what she is told!"

"I think she belongs in Ravenclaw. She has the great intellect and skill prized in the House of the Raven!" put in Rowena.

"Enough of this!" thundered Godric. "She should get to decide herself. She is a very clever girl, I'm sure you all know. I'd bet she even knows the real reason you all desire her in your House all of a sudden." He glared at his fellow House Heads.

"Yeah! Let Lamora decide where she wants to go!" piped up the little voice of Crystal.

Lamura then sat down at the Headmasters table and began to think about the possibilities. She could go into her dear father's Gryffindor, but then, there was Ravenclaw, for the intelligent. Part of her even wanted to join the hardworking Hufflepuffs. But the thought of Salazar Slytherin kept bothering her. All he wanted was her powers and nothing more.

But then another thought came to her, and she spoke up. "What if this happens again? And what if another student is faced with this descision? You can't just let them decide by themselves, it would be to hard of a choice! I have an idea, too..." she added bashfully. "What if we could just put the student in all the Houses for one year? It could be a little expiriment, and by the end of the year, the Hat will know them well enough to choose the best suited house for them! If that's not a bad idea..."

Although she was nervous, she continued on, feeling a little more confident. "I could just keep sleeping in my room with Crystal and Daddy...and I could just go to my studies in solitary!"

"Hmmm...I like the thought of the Hat deciding for her at the end of the year...we'll have to make a special exception and go with it." said Rowena Ravenclaw.

And with that, it was decided and no more was said on the subject.

But, while everyone was enjoying the feast (and Lamora was chowing down on some lovely barbecued chicken and Crystal was tasting a salad) the evil Decadence was planning his next step to taking over Godric's body, but he was completely unaware of the fact that Lamora possesed great i got the powahs.

"Hmm...how to get Godric back into his depression. Thanks to those two girls, he is now happier than ever. Its as if they were his own daughters!"

"Maaaaaster! MMMmmMMMmmmaaaaster!" came a voice more disturbing than Aerine jumping in the shower with Mars withn her clothes on! (Mars: NO WAY! hits her with shampoo bottle)

For that voice interrupted Decadence's thoughts. "YAOI! You're always invading my thoughts!"

"Your dinners ready. :D"

"YOU IDIOT! I'M A DISEMBODIED BEING! I DON'T NEED TO EAT!" yelled the angry spirit.

"Sooorrry. I wasn't thinking again. My boyfriends coming over!"

"Allright...but if he breaks into the beer again, he's dead!" warned the spirit.

"I'll make sure he doesn't, master.":

"Fine...allright...now get lost!" grumbled Decadence. "God, Yaoi only happens after beer..."

He floated to his chamber and looked into the spying crystal he used for Godric. (No bad thoughties, pwease!--Crystal)

"Now..Godric...what is it that I need to put you back into that depression ..." he pondered. "If those girls are the key to his happiness, and

I turn the key to the door of despair..."

It had been a few days since the sorting incident, and Lamora was getting used to her new schedule. Although she had gone wand-seeking before, no wand would ever settle for her, so she had to use her hands for the magic. She was on her way to Professor Magienoire McGonagall's class.

Magienoire McGonagall was a nice but very strict teacher. His name was French for Black Magic, and so alot of wizarding folk made assumptions about his character and family. But Magienoire was a hard working and smart teacher who cared a lot for his students.

On her way there, Lamora heard the laugh. It was screechy, pathetic, and more irritating than rusty old toenails scratching a chalkboard in the middle of the desert.

"Eeeeeheheeehehehehehehehehhhhhhhh!" it laughed. "Little girl go bye-bye!"

"Huh? Who said that?" squeaked a perturbed and disturbed Lamora. All of a sudden Yaoi appeared and a sack full of powdery dust went all around her, obscuring her vision horridly. All she could hear was the irritating and unsettling laughter. She wished the noise would stop.

As soon as she woke up, she looked woozily around. Finding nothing out of order, she took a peek at her watch.

"Ahh! OH MY GOSH! I'm late for class!" She took off running in the hall, passing unfamiliar looking students. "Don't care if they look weird...I'm still new...I gotta get to class!" she thought.

As soon as she reached the room, she rushed in and took her usual seat, too flustered to notice anything. She waited for her reprimand silently.

"Excuse me, young lady?" said the teacher, raising an eyebrow. "Are you new?"

"New? Huh? Are...are you subbing for Professor McGonagall?" asked Lamora, looking up at the unfamiliar woman. She wasn't expecting a sub today.

"Um...subbing? This is my class. I am Professor McGonagall!" said the teacher, looking confused.

"Huh? But...I didn't think Professor McGonagall had a sister?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Are you Magienoire McGonagall's sister?" asked Lamora, getting exasperated.

Professor Minerva McGonagall looked stricken. "How do you know my great ancestor? That was a thousand years ago!"

The words hit Lamora like greased lightening. "A thousand--what! What do you mean? That's ...that's impossible!" Flustered and scared out of her wit, she ran out of the classroom. Down the halls she barrelled, bumping into things and not caring where she was going. She ran so fast that she didn't notice the boy in her path until she rammed straight into him, knocking them both to the ground.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" she stuttered.

"Whoa...nnggg...that's...that's fine..." The boy blinked his green eyes. He rubbed his throbbing head, which was covered in a mass of untidy black hair.While his hand was rubbing, Lamora couldn't help but notice a long, strange scar on his head, shaped...almost...like a lightning bolt?

Aaaand that is it! Sorry it took me so long to write more, and thanks again for the reviews! I'll try and update next week!

Love, Mars Star
