Chapter Seven:
Harry Potter.
There was only a week left until Harry started at Hogwarts. Harry was a ball of nerves.
"How are you getting to this school? Flying carpets?" Vernon asked Harry one night.
Not wanting to listen to this, Harry spent the rest of his summer in his bedroom, with his owl for company.
He would spend his days reading his new school books. They were all really interesting subjects. His favorite book was Magical Theory by Adalbert Waffling.
He kept in touch with Corbett a lot. They used Hedwig to communicate back and forth. She never seemed to mind.
Harry was reading his book, when Hedwig tapped on the window.
Hey marked his place, and set it down to let her in.
"Hi Hedwig. Did you enjoy your hunt?" Harry asked her.
She responded by dropping a dead mouse in his palm.
"Oh Hedwig, that's gross." Harry muttered dropping the mouse on the floor.
Hedwig hooted and held out her leg. Tied to her leg was a rolled up piece of parchment.
Harry untied it and sat on his bed.
Harry.
Hedwig has been dropping dead rodents on my desk. I guess that means she likes me.
I love Magical Drafts and Potions; it's such an interesting read.
I'm having an interesting time. What about you?
I keep ticking off the days until we can see one another at Hogwarts. As the day gets closer I get more nervous.
I know this is going to be a really interesting school year.
I wish you could come over, so we can go to King's Cross together.
Can you believe it Harry; we will actually be learning magic.
Do you think we will be sorted into the same house?
I hope so.
Oh Merlin Harry, I'm so nervous. Please write to me soon.
Lots of Love Corbett.
Harry smiled to himself. Corbett sure said so little in so many words. She was quite a character. Taking out a new sheet of parchment Harry began to write a response.
Core
I reckon Hedwig does like you.
Why wouldn't she?
I hope we will be in the same house also.
Maybe we can meet each other on the train and sit together.
How many people do you think will be there?
My favorite book is Magical Theory
I've been spending my time reading the new school books we've gotten.
The Dursleys avoid me at all times possible. At first it was great, but now it gets a little annoying.
I can't wait till September the 1st
I hope the Dursleys will be able to take me to King's Cross.
I'm happy to know that I am not the only one who is nervous.
Gosh, I look forward to seeing you again in person.
I'm hoping we both will be able to make new friends.
Should I wear my robes or wear muggle clothing?
Respond soon little sis.
Love, your older brother
Harry.
Harry re read his letter then folded it up. He looked at Hedwig and smiled. She was lying on top of the dresser fast asleep. Harry shrugged and went downstairs.
The Dursleys were sitting in the living room watching the tele. Like always no one paid attention as Harry walked in.
"Er uncle Vernon, do you think you will be able to drive me to Kings Cross the first of September?" Harry asked.
Vernon grunted. Harry took that as a yes. He was going to go back upstairs when Vernon spoke.
"Where is the school at anyways?" Vernon asked looking at Harry.
"Er, I don't know." Harry pulled the ticket out of his pocket.
"It says I take the train from platform nine and three-quarters at eleven." Harry said gazing at his ticket.
Vernon and Petunia stared at him like he grown another head.
"Platform what?" Vernon asked.
"Nine and three-quarters." Harry responded shifting from foot to foot.
"Are you barking mad. There is no platform nine and three-quarters." Vernon said.
"That's what it says on my ticket." Harry mumbled.
"Then that ticket is a dozy." Vernon said.
"We are going up to London anyway. You'll see when you get there." Petunia muttered.
"Why are you going London?" Harry asked.
"To straighten some things out." Vernon said.
Harry went upstairs and went to bed.
Harry woke up to sunlight streaming in his window.
Hedwig hooted as a morning greeting.
"Hello Hedwig, want to deliver another letter to Corbett?" Harry asked.
As an answer she flew down and held out her left leg.
"Thanks." He tied his letter to her leg and she took off.
Harry went downstairs to eat breakfast. He was the only one up, so he ate slowly.
When he finished he went back upstairs and took a quick shower.
Finally satisfied, he opened Magical Theory and began to read.
He shut the flipped through the book and read his favorite letter.
Brother
Mission accomplished.
Hedwig did indeed steal my bacon.
Truce?
I stop telling Hedwig to torture you, you stop telling her to torture me?
It seems like a fair deal to me.
I can't wait to see you at Hogwarts
I keep having nightmares
It's always the same ones.
I always hear cruel laughter and I see green lights.
I remembered something different
Eyes
Yours to be exact
It's quite scary
I love you
Even though we hardly know anything about each other I feel like we are already close
That we were never separated to begin with
Maybe it's the fact that we are twins, and twins are said to be closer?
I feel this special bond with you, it's quite difficult to describe
It's almost like an invisible thread is tethering me to you
Silly I know
I do however feel that if this thread were to somehow be severed that I would be lost
I know I'm probably just being strange, but honestly I feel better writing this to you
Do you feel the same?
What are your thoughts on this?
Sorry if this seems like some sentimental girl thing.
I just had to write this to you
I feel as though if you know then the bond will be stronger?
That it won't break.
Love always
Corbett
He was glad that she felt the same way he did. He agreed with his sister in so many ways. She was the only family he had in this world, her and his mum's sister Claire. He reread the letter and smiled. He didn't think this connection was a sentimental girl thing. He felt it was more like a twin thing. She was his sister his twin, his whole world.
He was glad that Hedwig stole her bacon. He could almost hear the outrage in her voice.
"Sevres you right for getting her to nip my finger." He said aloud in amusement.
He was broke out of his thoughts when Hedwig returned a few hours later.
Hedwig opened her leg, and waited patiently for Harry to untie the letter from her leg.
"Hedwig, you can go out and hunt. Take as long as you want." Harry said stroking Hedwig's head.
She gave a hoot and took off.
Harry opened the letter and began to read.
Harry,
Just because you were born eight friggin minutes earlier MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Now to answer your question, just wear muggle clothing, and change when you are in the compartment.
I also hope we will be able to make new friends.
If one of us is already on the train, I nominate you to look for me.
After all, you are the older brother. As you so kindly pointed out.
Several times I recall
We leave tomorrow.
At eleven.
I. Cannot. Wait!
And if you keep teasing me about being younger,
I will HEX you into oblivion
Your little sister,
Corbett
Just kidding, I won't hex you.
But please come find me once the train starts moving if you don't see me.
Harry shook his head. "Don't worry Corbett, I promise I will look for you."
The rest of the day went by slowly. Harry kept checking and rechecking his trunks to make sure he had everything.
He took out the list they gave him, and began to check off the items.
"Three sets of black robes. Check."
"One plain pointed hat. Check"
"One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide of course) Check."
"One winter cloak. Check"
"One wand, one cauldron, one set glass/crystal phials, one telescope, one set brass scales. Check."Harry said out loud.
"Now moving on to the books." He muttered.
"The Standard Book of Spells. A History of Magic. Magical Theory. A beginners' Guide to Transfiguration. One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi. Magical Drafts and Potions .Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self protection. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check." Harry said.
He closed his trunk and began to pace. Night finally fell, and Hedwig returned, carrying a dead toad.
"Goodnight Hedwig." Harry said.
Harry woke up early the next morning. He took a quick shower and began to pace around his bedroom.
Hedwig watched his movement with reproachful eyes.
"Come here Hedwig." Harry said still pacing.
She hooted softly, then flew down on his shoulder.
"Oh Hedwig, I'm so nervous. However I do get to see Corbett again." Harry rambled on.
Two hours later Harry heaved his heavy trunk downstairs, outside, and into the Dursleys' car.
They reached King's cross at half past ten.
Vernon heaved Harry's trunk on a cart, and wheeled it into the station.
He turned towards Harry and grinned. "There you are boy. Platform Nine- Platform Ten. Yours should be in the middle." Vernon grinned once more at Harry and stalked off.
Harry's heart started pounding. He knew his uncle was right. What if this was all some sick joke that the Dursleys were playing on him.
Harry saw a guard pass by and stopped him.
"Excuse me sir, but do you know which train goes to Hogwarts?" Harry asked.
"Hogwarts? I've never even heard of that." The guard said puzzled.
"I, I don't know sir." Harry muttered.
"What the hell? Is this some sort of joke? Don't stop me again with some crackpot questions." The guard hissed and stalked off.
Harry was about to give up when he heard a woman fussing at her children.
"Packed with muggles. Fred be careful." The woman said.
Harry walked behind her.
"Alright Percy, you first." The woman said.
What looked like the oldest boy marched towards platforms nine and ten. Harry watched, careful not to blink. But as soon as he reached the barrier, a group of tourist walked in front of him.
"Okay Fred, you next." She said smiling.
"I'm not Fred, I'm George. Honestly woman." A red haired boy said pointing at is chest.
"Sorry dear."
"Just kidding, I am Fred." He said.. Then he hurried off.
Harry was unsure of how Fred went through.
"Excuse me, but can you tell me-
"How to get onto the train?" The woman asked.
"Yes. I'm new here, and I've never done this before." Harry said.
"Not to worry. All you have to do is walk straight at the barrier between nine and ten. Don't stop and don't worry about crashing into it, that's very important. Do it at a run if you are nervous dearie." She said kindly.
"Er- alright." He said. He pushed his trolley and began to walk very swiftly. He started to feel very nervous, so he started to run.
He was afraid he was going to crash, so he kept his eyes closed. He only opened them when he heard the train engine. He looked at the sign overhead, it said Hogwarts Express.
He had done it. He didn't crash into the wall.
"Gran, I lost my toad." A round faced boy was saying as Harry passed.
"Oh Neville." He heard the old woman say.
Harry pressed through the crowd until he found an empty compartment near the end of the train. He put Hedwig inside first. Then he started to shove and push his trunk towards the train door. He tried to lift it up the steps, but it was too heavy. He dropped it on his foot twice.
"Want a hand?" The red haired twin asked.
"Yes please." Harry panted.
"Oy, George! C'mere and help." Fred said.
With the help of the twins, Harry was able to get his trunk inside.
"Thanks." Harry said. He pushed his sweaty hair out of his face.
"Oh Harry, there you are." Corbett said panting.
She wandered into his compartment smiling.
She had on a pair of faded blue jeans, and a very baggy sweatshirt. Her red curly hair looked messy, but in a good sort of way.
"Oy. You're Harry Potter-" Fred began.
"And you're Corbett Potter." George finished.
"Oh those people." Corbett muttered shifting from foot to foot.
Harry looked at the twins. He could feel himself getting red.
"Fred? George? Come here."
"Coming mum." They muttered with a last look at Corbett and Harry.
Harry and Corbett sat down next to the window, watching the red-haired family
"Oy Ron you got dirt on your nose." The woman said.
He tried to jerk out of the way, but she grabbed him and began to rub.
"Poor Ron." Corbett whispered softly.
"Mom- geroff." He said.
"Aaah, has ickle Ronnie got somefink on his nose?" One of the twins said.
"Where's Percy?" Asked their mother.
"He's coming."
The oldest boy walked into their sight. He was already in his robes.
"Can't stay long mum. I have prefect duties." He said.
"Oh are you a prefect Percy?" One of the twins with asked with mock surprise.
"You should have said something."
"Oh wait. You told us everyday-
"All summer."
The twins muttered.
"Oh shut up." Percy muttered.
"I really like the twins. They are hilarious." Corbett whispered to Harry.
Before Harry could come up with a response, Ron Weasley walked into their compartment.
"Mind if I sit here?" Ron asked indicating to the seat opposite of Harry and Corbett.
"Sure. Go right ahead." Harry said smiling.
"Thanks. Oh you're Harry Potter." Ron said staring at Harry.
"No. He's Corbett Potter. I'm Harry." Corbett said leaning over. She held out her arm grinning.
This caught Harry and Ron off guard because they started to laugh.
"Nice to meet you Harry." Ron said after he finally caught his breath. He held out his hand and shook Corbett hand.
"Have you got one too?" Ron asked looking at Corbett.
"Sure do." Corbett lifted her bangs off of her forehead.
"Ron, Fred and I will be with Lee if you need us." George said once again walking into their compartment.
"Yeah, Lee's got a wicked new tarantula. You should come join us." Fred said grinning.
Ron turned parlor white. "I d- I- not a good idea." He muttered.
"Suit yourself. Harry Corbett." The twins said in a way of greeting.
Harry and Corbett nodded back.
"Well-" George began.
"Nice meeting you." Fred finished.
"Fred and George think they are hilarious." Ron muttered when they left.
"I think they are." Corbett said grinning.
Ron smiled. "Yeah, Percy doesn't agree however."
"Percy? Is he another brother of yours?" Harry asked.
"Yeah. It's Bill. He works at Gringotts in Egypt. Then it's Charlie. He works with dragons in Romania. Then Percy, Fred, George, me, and of course Ginny. Who won't start until next year." Ron said smiling.
"Gee, I reckon you're happy to have such a huge family." Harry said.
"Yeah. It's a real riot." Ron muttered.
There was a silent moment, then Ron, not being able to stand it spoke again.
"What house do you want to be sorted into?" he asked.
"H-House?" Harry asked confused.
"Yeah, there's Gryffindor, where the brave at heart dwell, then there's Hufflepuff, values hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play, then there's Ravenclaw. That house values intelligence, knowledge, and wit. Slytherin, values ambition, cunning and resourcefulness. I wouldn't want to be in Slytherin. That's where you-know-who went, and he turned out to be the darkest wizard in history." Ron said shuddering.
"You-know-who. Oh you mean Voldemort. He went to Hogwarts?" Corbett asked.
Ron turned a deathly white. "Don't say his name!" He hissed.
"Oh sorry. See I have loads to learn." She groaned.
"Yeah, he was in Slytherin. A lot of the death eaters were." Ron said.
"What are Death Eaters?" Harry asked confused.
"Surely you know what Death Eaters are?" Ron asked incredulously.
Harry and Corbett shook their heads.
"Wow. Do you at least know your own story?"
Harry and Corbett both said "Yes!"
"Well Death Eaters were huge supporters of you-know-who. They were evil witches and wizards who wanted to purify the wizarding world by getting rid of the Muggle borns, those who have muggles for parents, but are wizards or witches themselves. They were feared among everyone during the first war. They would torture muggles, and muggle borns. The majority of them were sent to Azkaban, others have seen the error of their ways and were let off." Ron said shuddering.
Just then Ron's pocket started to move.
"You do realize your pocket is moving?" Corbett asked.
"Oh." Ron reached into his pocket and pulled out a fat gray rat.
"His name is Scabbers." Ron said frowning.
"He belonged to Percy. Then because Percy made Prefect, dad got him an owl, and I got stuck with him. Not like he can afford for me to even get a new wand. Besides Scabber's a fat lazy bum that doesn't do anything but sleep all day. Honestly.'" Ron muttered gloomily.
Ron went pink around the ears.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I had to wear my cousin's old clothes, I've never even had any money until a few weeks ago. And I've never even had any proper birthday presents." Harry said.
They continued to talk. The train was speeding past cows, and empty fields.
Around half past twelve a plump dimpled witch, slid back their door. She was standing in front of a trolley.
"Anything from the trolley dears?"
Harry leapt to his feet rubbing his stomach.
"Got any Mars Bars?" He asked hopefully.
"No dear. I've got Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs, and other things." She finished with a flourish.
"I'll take one of everything." Harry said handing over his money.
"Sheesh Harry, are you hungry?" Corbett asked.
Ron unwrapped a sandwich. "She always forgets I don't like beef."
"Trade you a pumpkin pasty for one of those." Harry grinned.
"You don't want them they're all dried up." Ron muttered.
"I'll take it Ron." Corbett muttered.
"Go nuts." Ron said.
Ron rewrapped the sandwich and threw it to Corbett at the same time Harry threw the pumpkin pasty.
"What are these?" Harry asked holding up a pack of Chocolate frogs.
"Are they really frogs?" Corbett asked.
"Well no, they're just bewitched to move like frogs." Ron said eating a black licorice wand.
"Oh look Harry, you got a card as well. What are they collector's items?" Corbett asked.
"Yes. I'm missing Agrippa. Oh you have Albus Dumbledore." Ron said disappointed.
"Let me see ya nut." Corbett muttered grabbing the card from Ron.
"Oh so this is the famous Dumbledore." Corbett said.
The man in the picture wore half moon glasses,had a long crooked nose, and flowing silver hair, beard and mustache.
"He defeated Grindelwald, a very dark wizard in 1945, discovered the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel. Sheesh he sure did accomplish a lot." Corbett said.
"I reckon that's why he's one of the greatest headmaster's Hogwarts had thus far." Ron said.
"He disappeared. In the muggle world people stay put in photos." Harry said in amazement.
"Really? They don't move?" Ron asked.
"You're gonna get fat if you keep eating like that." Corbett said.
"You and I both can put on more weight Corby." Harry said smiling.
Before Corbett could respond their corridor slid open once again.
"Have any of you seen Trevor? My toad?" A round faced boy asked.
"No, we haven't Neville. But we will tell you if we had." Corbett said gravely.
"Yeah, I think I would prefer this rat over a toad any day." Ron said pointing to the rat asleep in his lap."Granted he could be dead, and you wouldn't know the difference. I tried to turn him yellow yesterday, but I think the spell was a dozy."
"Show us." Harry and Corbett said at the same time.
"Er alright." He took out his wand.
"Oh are you going to do magic?" A new voice asked. This girl had lots of bushy hair, rather large front teeth, and she was already in her robes.
"Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow. Turn this stupid fat rat yellow."
Ron waved his wand hoping something would change.
"Are you sure that's a real spell? I'm Hermione Granger by the way. I'm the first in my family to go to Hogwarts. I'm a muggle born you see. I've heard this is the best school. Oh you're Harry Potter and you're Corbett Potter." Hermione said.
"Sheesh lady, breathe and talk breathe and talk." Corbett said smiling.
"I'm Ron Weasley." Ron said.
"I know all about you and Corbett. You're in tons of books. I've nearly read all of them." Hermione said.
"Oh what do you know Corbett, she likes to read for fun also." Harry said amused.
"Are we really in tons of books?" Corbett asked ignoring Harry's comment.
"Yes. Didn't you know? If it were me, I would want to find out all I could." Hermione said.
"Do you know what house you want to be in?" Corbett asked.
"I'm hoping to be in Gryffindor. Although Ravenclaw won't be so bad." said Hermione
"Good choice. I read Dumbledore was in it." Corbett responded.
"You read too? Anyways, we should get back to looking for Trevor." Hermione said and left, taking Neville with her.
"She's nuts! Hope I don't get into the same house as her." Ron muttered.
Corbett busted out with "She's not." Harry stopped shaking his head 'yes' when he saw the look on his sisters face.
Once again their compartment door slid open. This time, four boys walked in.
"Is it true, they're saying the Potters are down in this compartment?" The pale boy said.
Corbett was looking at the group with a small smile on her face.
Draco looked back with a small smile of his own.
"I'm Zabini. On my left is Goyle, in the middle is Draco, and on his right is Crabbe."
Ron sniggered.
"Something funny?" Draco asked glaring at Ron.
"Hi. I'm Corbett. This is my brother Harry. And this is Ron. Pleased to meet you." Corbett said holding her hand out to Zabini.
"Hi." Zabini said grabbing her hand and shaking.
"So what brings you to our compartment?" Harry asked curiously.
Draco tried his best to ignore Ron's glares, but to no avail.
"Stop glaring at me Weasley!" Draco hissed.
"What are you going to do about it?" Ron challenged.
Corbett rolled her eyes. "Okay! Enough. I can assure you staring each other down won't solve anything. Honestly Ron stop glaring at him, act like a civilized person, and try to contribute to the conversation. If that doesn't work, direct your dark gaze to the window, I'm sure the window is a bigger prat then Draco is."
Everyone in the compartment laughed except for Ron.
Once again their compartment slid open, and once again Hermione walked in.
"Hi Hermione. Wanna join us?" Corbett asked smiling.
"Sure. But you might want to put your robes on, we're about to arrive at Hogwarts."
Zabini and Draco rolled their eyes.
"Sorry we don't take orders from anyone." Zabini sneered.
Ron finally had enough; he took a pumpkin pasty and threw it at Zabini, who in turned ducked, making it land on Draco.
"You stupid Weasel! You'll pay for that." Draco retaliated by throwing a pasty back at Ron.
"Protego!" Corbett hissed glaring at Draco.
"What the heck Malfoy?" The red haired witch asked him sadly.
"Sorry Corbett I wasn't aiming for you. Honest."
"Idiot. You almost hit my sister." Harry said glaring at Draco.
"Almost being the key word Potter. Nice shield, that's pretty advanced magic. I'm impressed." Draco said never looking away from Corbett.
"Whatever get out of our compartment Malfoy." Ron sneered.
"Don't be mean to him. You started it with your frivolous behavior." Corbett said as Ron threw yet another pumpkin pasty at Draco.
This one hit him square in the face. "I don't need a stupid filthy half blood fighting my battles for me." He sneered.
"Don't talk to her like that Malfoy." Hermione said glaring at Draco.
"Get out." Harry hissed.
"I'd be a bit more careful if I were you Potter. Don't want to go the same way as your parents. They didn't know what was good for them either." Draco said sneering.
"Shove off Malfoy." Corbett hissed glaring at Malfoy.
"No one asked you." He said pointing to Corbett. He was about to insult her even further, but stopped when he saw the look on her face. Inwardly he cringed. He hated what he said about her parents, and immediately wished he could take back what he said.
Harry and Ron both stood up.
"Don't Harry, he's a coward anyway. He needs two dim witted thick heads to guard him at all times, because he's afraid someone will kick his butt." Corbett sneered.
Ron and Harry both laughed.
Draco glared at Corbett. "Do not insult Draco." Crabbe hissed
"Oh does the big bad Malfoy need someone to fight his battles? Stop hiding behind the big people on the playground Malfoy, because they won't be around forever. Now get out of our compartment." Corbett sneered.
"And what if we don't want to?" Zabini asked for the first time.
Before anyone could respond, Scabbers ran up Goyle's arm and bit him.
Goyle started swinging around and howling madly.
When Scabbers finally jumped off of him, the four of them disappeared.
They took of their jackets, and put on their robes.
The train slowed down, and then it finally stopped.
"Firs' years! Firs' years over here!" A familiar voice called.
Hagrid looked at the scared first years smiling.
They were all slipping and stumbling. They followed Hagrid down a narrow path. It was very dark, Harry couldn't see anything on either side of him.
"Almos' there." Hagrid said. "Jus' around the corner."
"Oooooh!" The group chorused.
The narrow path opened to reveal a black lake. Atop a high mountain on the other side stood a castle with many turrets and towers.
"No more'n four in a boat." Hagrid called.
Harry, Ron and Corbett got into a boat. And to Harry's immense surprise and amusement, so did Hermione.
"Everyone in? FOREWORD!"
To Harry's delight, the boats started to move.
"Heads down!" Hagrid yelled when they reached a very large opening of a cliff. They were carried along a dark tunnel that took them right under the castle. They reached a harbor, and clamored out of the boats. They marched up a passageway, up a flight of stone steps and crowded around an oak door.
Hagrid knocked three times, and it opened.
A very stern tall looking witch in emerald green robes stood there,
"The firs' years Professor McGonagall." Hagrid said.
"Thanks Hagrid, I will take them from here." She turned and started to march.
She walked across a huge entrance hall. Wherever she walked, the torches on the stone walls lit up. She walked across the flagged stone floor, and led them into an empty chamber.
She turned to look at them
"Welcome to Hogwarts. The start-of-term banquet will begin here shortly. But you need to be sorted into houses before you take your seats in the Great Hall. Now there are four houses Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. Your house will sort of be like you're family when you're here. You will sleep in your house dormitory. Spend classes with your house, and spend your free time in your house common room. You triumphs will earn you house points, while any rule breaking will cause you to lose points. The house with the most house points will win the house cup, which is a great honor indeed. The Sorting Ceremony will start in a few moments." Her eyes moved around the eager first years.
"I shall return when we are ready or you." She left the chamber.
"How do they sort us?" Harry asked. His nerves were getting the best of him.
Corbett was standing right beside him. She grabbed his hand and squeezed tightly.
"Oh Harry, I'm so nervous." She whispered to him.
Harry looked at his sister and smiled.
"However we get sorted. I don't care. As long as we are in the same house." He said.
Before Corbett could respond, twenty ghosts appeared.
"Oh ghosts. How pleasant." Corbett muttered.
Professor McGonagall appeared. "Now form a line, and follow me."
The first years did as they were told. They marched out of the chamber, back across the hall, and through a set of double doors into the Great Hall.
A/N: Hope you like this chapter. I feel like Zabini isn't in the story a lot, so I've decided to add him. He's going to be in the rest of the story. I hope you like how Corbett stood up to Draco on the train. Some things are going to change in the story because of Corbett. Some things however shall remain the same. Well that's enough of my ranting... ENJOY!
Thanks once again to PureAngelEyes for your review. I can't help but agree more.
Thanks to Diggon for adding me to your story alert
