Chapter 4: This is Hogwarts really?

Now that the train is at the station and the students started to disembark; where a very large looking man starts saying loudly "first years this way now don't be shy come on." John thought to himself "this guy is about as tall as Doe" as John and the friends he met on the train walked up to the big man Harry said "Hello Hagrid it's nice to see you again." "Well it's good to see you to harry now you lot best be off to the boats I'll be there in a moment." Hagrid said and with that the four young first years made their way to the boats. At the boats and Hagrid was saying no more than 4 to a boat. John, Harry Ron, and Hermione got in one boat and then where off to the castle. John spoke up "Well this is a bit old school isn't it." The others were looking on as if it they are about to step into wonderland. Hagrid lead all the first years to the great hall where an old woman dress in some type of green dress with a pointed hat at least that what it look like to John as he was only half way paying attention. "The First years professor McGonagall." Hagrid said "Thank you Hagrid. Now in a moment you will enter the great hall to be sorted in to your houses. Wail you are at Hogwarts your house will be like your family. Were your achievements will earn you house points and any rule breaking will lose points. The four houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. When I call your name you will come fourth and be sorted" and with that Professor McGonagall open the doors to the great hall and walked in. The Students unsure what to do just stood there and waited for instructions when a blonde boy with two who look like nothing more goons walked up to the newly formed Quartet and said "So it's true what was being said on the train Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts first thing you need to know is that some wizarding family are better than other I can help you out with that. I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." Before Harry could respond John spoke up. "Wow this is what I missed by not going to school with people my own age." "And who are you to talk to your betters like that." Draco said. "Well I'm Dr. John Grimm Mr. Malfoy, and by the way just because you come from a wizarding family does not make you better than me." John said as he put out as hand to shake with Draco. Draco responded with "When my father hears of this." Then Draco and his two goons whom John wasn't paying attention enough to get their names walked away.

As Professor McGonagall noticed that the first years were not following her she cleared her throat and they all started to walk forward; the students got their first look at the great hall. John was looking around at the ceiling and the floating candles and said "well this is difference." Hermione said "The Ceiling is bewitched to look like the sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: a History." Now the students are getting a look at the Hogwarts sorting hat as the hat began to sing and John as you can suspect wasn't go over the data and come up with some theories on how to explain what was going on with science because physics is the science that is to explain the universe so it should be able to explain magic. After the sorting hat was finished singing Professor McGonagall started calling names in a somewhat random order. Hearing that Ron, Hermione, and Harry got into Gryffindor which when Harry got in the Gryffindor the other Gryffindor's went nut cheering like they just won the lottery. Draco and his goons; which go by the names Crabbe and Goyle got into Slytherin. Now at last Professor McGonagall called "Jonathan Grimm" "Wow guess I'm last it's all good." John said. John walked up to the stool and sat down and the hat was placed on his head while some of the other professor and student looked scared at the sound of his last name.

"Well let's see what we have here shall we." Said the hat. "Are you reading my mind?" John said inside his own head. "Of course, how else am I going to know where to put you." The hat replied. "Well if any of the things in my head get out I'm going to disassemble you atom by atom and seeing you are reading my mind you now know that I'm fully capable of doing it." John threatens the hat. "You have nothing to worry about I am forbidden to disclose any information I learn, Godric Gryffindor made sure of that when I was made. But one wonders what can a first year know to warrant such a reaction?" The hat asked. "If what I know falls into the wrong hands you can kiss the world good bye and that isn't a figure of speak its being completely literal." John informed the hat. "Well now that out of the way let see where to put you? You saved the world from this Doe person who would have destroyed us all thank you for that by the way that alone could get you into Gryffindor. Your shear intelligence would let you fit right in, in Ravenclaw. But you also have the resourcefulness, ambition and cunning that would make Salazar himself proud and being the Lord of Death would be just about welcomed with open arms in Slytherin house; it a trough choice to be sure." The hat said. "It's all good just go with what you feel." John responded. "All right then it's going to be…"

"Gryffindor" The hat yelled out to hall and the hall was silent as John walked over to the Gryffindor table he found s open spot next to Harry and sat down and said sarcastically "Thanks for the warm welcome I feel so happy to finally going to school with people my own age makes me miss dealing with college kids because they just made a lot of baby joke for a few weeks until they needed help studying." Before anyone could respond Dumbledore stood up and said some seemingly random words that did make scene to John probably because he was only half paying attention and the food appear out of what seemed like nowhere. John brought up the display on his gauntlet and scanned the food to make sure it was safe to eat and everyone that saw him doing this which included all that sat at the stuff table look on in awe wondering what he was doing, and in response to the looks he just said "It's just a scan to make sure it safe to eat." Ron was the first to say anything "What is that thing? I've never seen anything like that it looks like a really rare magical artifact." "Magical artifact? No it my tech gauntlet it one of the most advanced pieces of technology on that planet." John answered. This time Hermione spoke up saying "That's not possible technology does not work at Hogwarts." Well mine does between the technorganic circuitry and the grimmanium in the housing magic has virtually no effect on it what so ever." John responded. "And how told you that rubbish." A seventh year Gryffindor said. "No one told me that; I invented the technorganic circuitry and the grimmanium alloy when I tried to find a reason for the equipment in my lab would fry itself when I got real mad. I found that in heighten emotional states that my body was generating a weird form of bioenergy that was messing up my equipment so I looked for a way to shield it for it and that how I got the grimmanium and knowing that wasn't going to be enough to satisfy the my grandfather for the amount of company resources I used I developed the technorganic circuitry." John said as he was gathering food on to his plate. The table looked at him with a look of disbelief most of them from wizarding families thought he was lying; while the other who were raised in a more muggle fashion and know who he was looked on wondering why wasn't he in Ravenclaw, and a few muggleborn first years (mainly Hermione) were looking like they hit the jackpot from a study partner. Looking at the faces of this house mates John was about to say something but the ghosts of the castle started to come in and when they all saw the young man who was the lord of death they all stopped and bowed in respect and went on their way, and of course this didn't go unnoticed by every last person in hall as they all started to look at him. Professor Dumbledore was trying to think of what this could mean for his plans for Voldemort's return and the test he has planned for Harry this year. Most of the other's had no idea what they just seen no one has ever had this kind of welcome of all the ghosts of the castle at once. John seeing them all looking at him just started to eat and block them out and after a few minutes the rest of the great hall to eat and the ghosts got a feeling that what they did was unwanted and would cause the young lord to be questioned about the events and he was not ready to answer; all the ghosts got this message and they would not speck of it to anyone if and when asked until they were given permission. The Gryffindor table was very quiet during the feast the other house tables were having small conversions about what has transpired with the first year Gryffindor named John Grimm and that Harry Potter is now at Hogwarts.

After the meal Professor Dumbledore stood up and said "Now that we are all fed I have a few start of term announcements first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students and also our caretaker, Mr. Filch wants you to remember that the third floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to all who wish not to die a most painful death. Thank you and now the school song." John started to think about what was said about the third floor it sounded weird way state it like that like they wanted someone to go there. Something wasn't right with this John felt it in his gut. He would look into this a bit later he already had a lot of data to go through from the today and he would need a way to see what's there without actually going there. By the time John was finishing his thoughts about what the headmaster said the song was done and all the students went to their respective dormitories.

When John got his first look on what guarded the Gryffindor dormitory a portrait of a very large woman that talked and moved that just asked for a password. John thought this wasn't all that secure; I mean come on the more I see this school and for that matter the whole wizarding world is like stuck in the middle ages all the lighting is made by open flames. Walking into what looks like the common area another dimly lit room. The prefect who was one of Ron's brothers Percy told use which side was for what gender and that we will be getting our class schedules tomorrow at breakfast seeing how classes didn't start until Monday. When we got to our room we saw that our trunks were already there and in front of beds. So John just got into his sleep ware and got into bed closing the privacy curtain that was around his bed, then started to go over same of the data from the day and start the to design a new probe that will be small enough to go round unnoticed but have enough power so it can stay off for the school year if needed, it was a good thing that tomorrow was Sunday to give him the time to get this done before classes started.
