This should be good. From now on I will do a chapter for each house, rather that a section of the chapter for each house, because it is easier. I will probably be doing more Gryffindor because I try to follow the books as much as possible. But no worries, everyone will be involved.

Chapter 7

Gryffindor

Alfred awoke slowly, wanting more than anything to just lay down and go back to sleep. He tried to remember what had happened last night, but could only really recall a magnificent feast and coming up to a tower. The rest was lost. Alfred just shrugged it off, confident that it would come to him sooner or later.

Alfred looked around the circular room. It was much bigger than one would have first thought, but then again it did have 5 boys sleeping their already plus the 7 transfers. The first thing that Alfred noticed was that the bed on his right was empty, as was the one on the right of that. Alfred guessed that it was Ludwig and Feliciano, as Ludwig trained every morning and attempted to make Feliciano do the same.

Alfred sat up and got out of his bed. He slowly started to get dressed and soon the others began to do the same. "What do you think we are going to have first?" Matthew asked in a quiet whisper, yet everyone heard it. "I dunno. Hopefully not potions though." Harry answered. He received a few agreements from the other Gryffindor boys who had been at the school since year 1.

"Why not?" Asked Matthias, speaking up as he grew less tired. "Potions sounds kind of cool." Ron shook his head quickly. "That's what you may think mate, but the Potions teach, Snape, is horrible."

"What's so bad about him?" Tino asked, looking up at Ron in surprise. "Well, you see, he hates us Gryffindors." Neville supplied. "He prefers Slytherin, because its his own house."

"Hmm, well Ludwig's brother, Gilbert, is in Slytherin. Maybe he wont be so harsh on Ludwig." Arthur pointed out as he pulled on a sock. Dean shook his head sadly. "I don't honestly think that will work." he admitted, obviously feeling sympathetic towards the two brothers.

"Come on Dean. Lets go." Seamus urged after a moment of awkward silence. The two left and were soon followed by Tino and Matthias, who left to find Berwald, Lukas and Emil, who were all in other houses, along with Neville, who tagged along. Now there was only Arthur, Alfred, Matthew, Harry and Ron left in the dormitory.

"Come on, we should get going too. We dot want to be late and Hermione might be waiting for us." Ron suggested, looking at the chipped, second hand watch on his wrist. The others nodded in agreement and headed down to the common room. Hermione was indeed waiting for them, looking unamused.

"I thought you were never going to come out. Honestly, boys take such a long time." Ron, Harry and Matthew just shrugged off this comment. Alfred just carried on grinning whilst Arthur looked slightly offended. After a moments thinking he decided to not comment on Hermiones 'rude and unsatisfactory comment'.

There 5 traveled down to the hall together. Arthur and Alfred led the Golden Trio to the middle of the table where Feliciano and Ludwig were sitting eating their breakfast. Feliciano looked slightly worn out, whilst Ludwig seemed unaffected.

"Are you OK Feliciano?" Harry asked, sitting next to the Italian with an expression of concern on his face. Feliciano nodded quickly and smiled. "Veh~ sure I am. I just had training with Luddy. He did 10 laps around the whole grounds but I only managed 1 and a half. Isn't that right Luddy?"

The German man turned boy nodded. "Ja, that is right. But you did well Feli. The grounds are massive." Feliciano smiled at the praise and hugged Ludwig. "Thanks Luddy. Love you." The German blushed before hurriedly saying "I love you too." Feliciano gave Ludwig a quick peck on the cheek which made the blonde blushed bright red, but he hurriedly gave Feliciano a kiss back.

Harry turned to Arthur, who was taking no notice of the two boys. "Are they gay?" Harry asked in a small whisper. Obviously, his aunt and uncle had raised him to be against gays, as they were both homophobic, but Harry had never seen a problem with it. "Yeah, most of the transfers are." Arthur admitted. He looked at Alfred and blushed. "Look at Matthew." Arthur whispered, nodding towards the blonde.

The Canadian was staring at the Slytherin table almost longingly. Harry followed his stare and saw him staring at... Gilbert Beilschmidt. Who just so happened to be staring back with a small smile on his face. He looked so strange without his wide grin.

Before Harry could say anything Mcgonagall started handing out their timetables. "You transfer students will have the same time table." She informed. "Professor Dumbledore chose your year 3 lessons himself, so that you will all be with someone you are familiar with." Once the timetables had been dealt with, Mcgonagall left.

"Huh. Our timetables are exactly the same." Matthew pointed out, looking over Rons shoulder to see his timetable. "So they are." It was soon found out that all the transfers had the exact same lessons as Ron and Harry all week and had most of them with Hermione. Hermione and Ron had a conversation about Hermiones lessons, which were a bit...strange. But, the nations didn't think it was their business, so just left the pair too it.

"Have you guys seen what we have got first?" Tino asked, coming over and sitting with the group, Matthias trailing behind him. Everyone nodded. "Divination. What a weird way to start off our year here." Ludwig answered, looking down at his timetable again, his food forgotten.

"Come on then. We should really go. We don't want to be late. We have to go up to the North Tower." Hermione rushed, afraid of being late to their very first lesson. The others agreed with her and they quickly got up and left. They were a large group though, and soon Tino and Matthias started to walk slower and fell behind. Similarly, Arthur, Alfred and Matthew were soon lost to the crowd, leaving the Golden Trio, Ludwig and Feliciano, who was currently latched onto the Germans arm.

They walked for 10 minutes, twisting and turning through a maze of corridors and staircases. Then Hermione stopped. "We are completely lost." She groaned, looking around as if trying to find something familiar but obviously failing. Then Ron said something and the two started arguing. Loudly.

"Are they always like this?" Ludwig asked Harry, who was shaking his head in disbelief. "Yep. Always have been, ever since our first year." "Veh~Luddy. Look at this picture. The people have left it all alone." Harry and Ludwig turned to Feliciano, who was examining a picture of an empty landscape.

Suddenly a man ran in and Feliciano gave a startled squeak, toppling over from surprise. Then, as if Ludwig wasn't getting a headache from the two teenagers arguing, the man, who turned out to be a Knight called Cadogan, started to shout and wave his sword around pointlessly. "THAT IS ENOUGH." Ludwig yelled, silencing everyone. "Look, we need to get to the North tower, can you please help us?" Instantly the man changed.

"A quest, eh. Certainly good fellow. Follow me." For another 5 minutes they ran through more corridors and up a set of circular stairs, which made them feel rather dizzy. Then they reached a landing of sorts, where all the Gryffindors were waiting, including Arthur, Alfred, Matthew, Tino and Matthias.

"What took you so long?" Arthur asked, surprised at how far behind they had been. "We got lost." Ron answered, sitting down on the floor and panting from all the running. "Where on Earth is the door?" Hermione asked. Matthew pointed to a trapdoor in the roof and Hermione made an O with her mouth.

Suddenly the trapdoor opened and a dorr fell right at Matthews feet, who looked uncomfortable at having to go first. He climbed up and nearly gagged on the sickly scent filling the room. He hurried to a seat and Arthur and Alfred sat next to him. "This smells as bad as your cooking." Alfred teased and Arthur just spluttered in outrage. Slowly the room filled up.

Then Trelawny appeared. She looked like a giant, glittering insect. She was very thin and had strage glasses on that magnified her eyes. She was wearing so many beads and raclets, it was a surprise that she was still standing.

She started off with a boring speech about the inner eye. Alfred and Matthias nearly fell asleep. Feliciano really did fall asleep, only to be nudged awake by Ludwig. Trelawny told them to look at tealeaves, which sounded stupid. After a while she walked around and looked at the cups.

She 'prophesised' that Harry was going to die horribly because the grim had appeared. She also told Feliciano that everyone he loved was going to leave him and she informed Alfred that all the McDonalds in the world were going to close and it would be all his fault. Lets just say that none of them were happy about this.

They left the room with Hermione going on about Trelawny being a fraud, Arthur scolding Alfred for overeacting and Ludwig trying his best to comfort poor Feliiano. They arrived at the Transfiguaration room next, but no one payed attention as she talked about all the animagus in the world and when she turned into a cat.

When she questioned the class about it, Hermione told her about how she had prophesised Harrys death. Mcgonagall sigheda ."Then you should know, Potter, that Sybill Trelawney has predicted the death of one student a year since she arrived at this school. None of them has died yet. Seeing death omens is her favourite way of greeting a new class." This cheered them up considerably and Mcgonagall continued her lesson.

"Now, does anyone here know an animagus personally?" Mcgonagall asked and Arthurs hand shot up. Mcgonagall nodded to him and he stood up. "Professor, the transfers and I are all animagus." This got a few gasps from the class and even Mcgonagall looked surprised.

Ludwig looked at Arthur like he was mental. He didnt know how to change into an animal. Then Mcgonagall asked them to show theclass and Ludwig had no choice but to stand up. Ludwig closed his eyes and ust hoped this would work, because he didnt want to look like a fool.

Suddenly, a warm feeling spread over him from head to toe, almost as if someone had doused him in warm water. When his eyes opened, everything was so much sharper. He looked around at his fellow transfers and classmates.

Feliciano, who had been sitting next to him, had turned into a stunning Italian wolf (Though the curl was still there) and he looked proud of himself. Looking to his left he saw Arthur, who had turned into a majestic lion. Next to him was Alfred, who has turned into a magnificent Bald Eagle. On Alfreds right was Matthew, who was now a powerful looking Canadian horse.

On his other side, Tino had transformed into a Brown bear whilst Matthias was now a magnificent Mute Swan. looking down at himself, Ludwig saw he was now a Golden Eagle, much to his surprise. He was expecting a German Shephard. But then again, look at Matthew, Tino and Matthias. Who was expecting that?

The class gave a round of applause, including Mcgonagall, who looked shocked. "That was quite a show boys, well done." The boys turned back, and then the end of lessong bell went, signalling break.

As soon as they left the room, the other Gryffindor 3rd years flocked them. "You looked so graceful," Lavader said to Matthias, who grinned widely at the complement. "What kind of wolf were you?" ean asked Feliciano. "An Italian one, from my homeland."

They didnt want people to know, but gossip spreads like wildfire through Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
