had just dropped them off after saying goodbye. Halo still wasn't sure what to think of her kidnapper but he had been very nice, he and Luna had even showed her around London. They went to all the tourist sights and had thoroughly explained both the muggle and wizard history of the different sites.
As they climbed onto the train she heard as tall boy in black robes and a green tie bragging to a brown haired boy. She only caught a moment of the conversation as she walked by but it sounded like "It's easy, forge a few documents...show up to the reading and...I'm getting away with 23 million for some old lady's will!...If that's not a productive summer then what is?" Halo shook her head as she went passed them, wizards are so weird!
Luna turned to her after they opened another full compartment and said "How about you check on that side and I will check this side."
"Okay." Halo replied.
The two continued on down the train until a group of what looked to be sixth years burst out of the cabin and shoved Halo out of the way all the while muttering things like "Bloody idiot! Daft second year! Why won't he just stop that!"
Seeing as the compartment was mostly empty except for one boy. So she called Luna over and they plunked down their trunks just as the train let out a whistle. She turned to the boy they were sharing the cabin with to make sure that it was alright if they sat with him when she noticed what he was doing.
He was mooning the people on the platform!
She quickly turned to face the compartment door to hide her red face. She cleared her throat and hoped he would get the message. Luckily he did and he said "Hullo, I am so sorry for the rude way we met. My brother dared me to do something memorable every train ride and last year I called everyone I met "Chubs". So I had to do something more interesting this year." as he pulled up his had a strange air about him, like he wasn't quite living in the moment. A chill went down her spine but she ignored it.
There was an award silence then he said "Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm Kyle Sunlip. Who are you and your friend?"
"Oh, well...I'm Halo and this is Luna Lovegood." she replied, still shocked that he had been mooning people. He seemed to quiet down and get an odd glint in his eye but it was gone faster then she could realize what it was. Probably just my imagination.
The rest of the train ride continued on in peace with the odd fact from Kyle, who turned out to be a wealth of information. Weird information, but information none the less. She had no clue before getting on this train that "Bolivia's largest prison (San Pedro) has a society within itself and no guards inside the walls. Inmates elect their own leaders, make their own laws, get jobs to pay for their cell's rent, and can even live with their families." ...interesting...?
But they eventually made it to Hogsmead Station and Halo was forced to get off of her comfy seat in the compartment. As she pushed her way through the cramped corridor with Luna behind her trying vainly to make it out onto the platform where a giant of a man was telling the first years to go towards the boats. She finally made it to the boats and got into one with a blonde haired boy who looked extremely nervous.
"My names Draco Malfoy, what's yours?" he asked in an unbelievable combination of apprehension (for the sorting) and haughtyness (because he was taught to be). But Halo didn't even have time to answer before he started off babbling about the houses.
"If I don't get put in Slytherin my father won't let me come home ever again! I would be the black sheep of the family and I would be disowned! I can't live on the streets! I don't know how to, I don't even know how to find food with out using money! If I don't get into Slytherin my life is over!" he wailed to himself in misery.
"Well..I'm sure that you'll get in. You seem like you have your heart set on Slytherin so I am sure that whoever it is that decides where we go will put you you in slytherin. They wouldn't want you to get in trouble." Halo spoke softly to the distressed boy in comforting tones.
He immediately calmed down and nodded resolutely to himself. Whoever tried to stop him from getting into Slytherin would have hell to pay. At that moment there breath caught and students let out astonished gasps at the sight of the magnificent castle they would be residing in for the next year. Halo on the other hand had this strange feeling of familiarity when she gazed on the castle. It was as if she had been there before. Maybe when I was a baby.
They made it to the other end of the lake in no time and soon they were in a room that was, from the sound of it, beside the rest of the student body. A strict looking woman appeared at the front of the room and stated that they would be sorted in a couple minutes and that they would do best to smarten themselves up while waiting. She seemed to be looking at a red headed boy in particular while inclining her head in an odd way. But no one else seemed to notice. The boys eyes widened and he gave what looked to be a try at a discreet nod.
From then on he was glued to her side. The entire sorting he was whispering mean things to her about all the houses and the people in them except for Gryiffindor, which he was singing praises for. Literally, she could play the acoustic guitar that she nicked from Dudley before leaving and it would sound like some new kind of rap.
Finally it was her turn to be sorted and everyone went silent when she was called. The walk up to the sorting hat and the stool felt kind of like what she imagined the walk up the steps to the guillotine would have been like during the French Revolution except this was a thousand times worse. At least that way it was all over! Thought Halo.
Well, how nice to see you again! I would love to chat but as you know you mus be sorted. Look at this though I already have and since you can't be sorted twice it better be...
'Ravenclaw' the dirty old hat shouted out loudly to the rest of the hall.
"What do you mean again?!" whispered Halo but McGonagal took off the sorting hat and put it on the stool before it could answer. The Ravenclaws cheered and the other houses joined slightly after getting over their confusion, their saviour not in Gryiffindor!
Sorry for the long wait. I am not very good at sticking to deadlines.
