Chapter 9 Part 2
- Thank you for calling me out on Hermione's middle name. It is supposed to be Jean and I will change that. It is a minor detail but it is the minor details that make the story!
Anna stared at Elsa as Elsa was sorted into Ravenclaw. Anna had never thought that she and Elsa would be seperated! What was she going to do? Anna started to have a mini-heart attack when the lady from before,
"P. Weasley," she head someone whisper when the lady began to talk.
""The very best of evenings to you! I am your headmistress, Hermione Emma Weasley. Now before I give any announcements, to our new students, welcome, to our old students, welcome back! Another year full of magical education awaits you so take care to take advantage of it.
First years are reminded that the Forbidden Forest is, as always, forbidden to all students who do not wish to die an untimely death. Also, Fitch has asked me to remind everyone that pranks from Weasley Wizard Wheezes or Weasley and Weasley are strictly forbidden.
Finally, I would like to introduce a new addition to our staff, Monsieur North who will be taking over Defense Against the Dark Arts. He is extremely talented and is a welcome admission to our staff. I ask that everyone welcome him."
Anna stared up in suprise at Monsieur North, why was he here? But then again, she thought, did it matter? She was happy to see a familiar face no matter who it was; she waved to him frantically but he didn't seem to see her.
Suddenly, she heard P. Weasley say, "Begonia, Cattail, Fern, Garlic" and food appeared on the tables. Anna saw so much food, much more than she was accustomed to. Unable to decide, She ended up taking a little bit of everything and a double helping of chocolate. While passing food, she learned several people's names: Jack Sparrow, Jasmine Bint Agrahab, Sandy (who had fallen asleep), Hamish, Harris, and Hubert Dunbroch were all in her year. She liked Jasmine and Sandy, but she wasn't sure about Jack Sparrow and the Triplets. There was something about them that screamed pranksters. She also met some people that weren't in her year like Sven and Kristoff who finished each other's sandwiches, sentences, and other assorted foods.
Before she knew it, the food has disapeared from the tables in a flash and a girl called all the first years and 'extra girl' to follow her. Anna got up and walked with Jasmine who was very nice. They walked down several stairs to the basement of the Castle or so Anna assumed as there were no more stairs. After reaching the basement the girl took them on a long windy hallway, past the kitchen and to pile of barrels next to the wall. The girl stopped suddenly and some of the first years fell over each other including Anna. The girl turned around.
"This pile of barrels next to me is the entrance to the the Hufflepuff common room which hasn't been entered by a non-hufflepuff in over a thousand years and I expect that to not change," She said glaring at Anna who shrank back. "In order to enter the room you need to tap the barrel two from the bottom, middle of the second row in the rhythm of 'Helga Hufflepuff' which will make the lid swing open to our common room. Observe."
The girl then proceeded to tap the barrels after which the barrel lid swung open and all of the first years entered. Anna loved the the interior the second she saw it: The yellow hangings, burnished copper and multitude of plants made the entire common room seem homey.
"Girls dormitories are through this door and the boys are through the other door," the girl who had led them said as she pointed to the coresponding doors. Anna proceeded to walk through the door and claimed the bed next to Jasime's and then fell onto the bed. It had been a long day she thought as she fell asleep.
