The rest of the train ride went by smoothly, and soon enough it was time to climb into the horseless carriages and head up to the castle for the Welcome Feast. The four started to climb into a carriage when Harry stopped. "The carriages aren't horseless!" He exclaimed. Blaise and Hermione looked at him like he was insane. "Harry, what are you talking about?" Hermione asked. "There is nothing there." Her and Blaise shared a look and climbed into the carriage. Luna came up behind Harry. "Don't worry." She said dreamily. "Your just as sane as I am, and I can see them too." Harry gave her a weird look, shook his head and climbed inside the carriage. They chatted about classes on the way to the castle, where they separated to their appropriate houses. Harry and Hermione sat next to Neville and Dean Thomas at the end of the table. Ron and Ginny came in and sat at the other end of the table glaring at Harry, and Hermione as they went by.

Professor McGonagall walked into the Great Hall holding the stool and the sorting hat. Harry saw Dumbledore scanning the hall with his eyes before coming to rest on Harry. Harry felt a slight twinge in his head. He knew the headmaster was trying to use Legilimency on him. He countered it and looked away. Hermione he said urgently "Dumbledore was trying to read my mind." Hermione gasped. "That's illegal! We need to talk to McGonagall!" They fell silent after that because the sorting hat had started his song.

Around fifteen years ago

A prophesy was born

About an abandoned boy

Who's life was sure forlorn

Three others emerged from the crowd

To help him with his feat

To overthrow the Dark Lord

To make sure that he was beat

They each possessed the traits

Of one of the founders four

They will unite the houses

And face a mighty war

One is a Gryffindor

with bravery of a lion

Another is a Slytherin

And he sure is a sly one

The third is a Gryffindor

with intelligence to rival all

The final is a Ravenclaw

But is loyal to a fault

Untied they will stand

Divided they will fall

But they cannot do it alone

They will need us all

So now I will sort you

But fear not my little dears

For if you stay united

Hogwarts will be around for many years

Blaise, Luna, Harry, and Hermione all shared a look. Just what they needed, for everyone to know their business. They spotted Ron and Ginny glaring at them again.

Dumbledore stood up to make his speech.

"As you all know Professor Umbridge was unable to come back and teach Defense Against The Dark Arts this year, so I would like to introduce you all to Professor Sam Vadean!" They all clapped politely. Harry noticed the new teacher was glaring about him. He sighed Just what I need. Another teacher to not like me. Dumbledore continued. "As you also know Voldemort is back." A lot of people started whispering, and staring at Harry. "I shouldn't have to tell you that we are in dark times and we all need to help each other." Harry zoned Dumbledore out as he finished his speech. Dinner then started. Hermione was staring at her goblet with a puzzled expression. She then sniffed it and looked livid. "Harry! Let me see your goblet!" Hermione said. Harry obliged. She took it and sniffed it and nodded her head. "Harry, there is a diluted love potion in both of our drinks. I wouldn't be surprised if we have been ingesting it for a while." Harry was angry. "We need to see Madam Pomfrey." She continued. "She should be able to tell us how long we have been ingesting it." He nodded. "We'll go after dinner." He said. They continued eating, but not drinking, after the feast was done they motioned to Blaise and Luna to meet them in an empty classroom. Hermione was the first to speak. "We need to go up to the Hospital Wing. Me and Harry have been given a love potion and we want to see how long we have been ingesting it. Would you like to come?" They both nodded. "Alright let's go." she said. They headed up to the hospital wing and made up a story for Madam Pomfrey because they weren't sure if they could trust her. She told them they had been ingesting small doses of diluted love potion since the middle of their second year. They were livid. Harry decided to confront Snape about the potions to see if he was the one brewing them. Luckily they had that class the next day after lunch. They bid goodnight to Blaise and Luna, and went to their common room and talked well into the night. Around 1 in the morning they said goodnight and headed up to bed. Both Hermione and Harry put a shield charm up around their beds. Just in case. A lone raven sat outside the window of the sixth year boys dormitory, just sitting.

Professor Vadean sat in his quarters at 2 in the morning, doing nothing but staring at a picture of his. It wasn't moving but it had a certain magic about it anyway. It featured a redhead with green eyes, and a brunette with curly hair and chocolate colored eyes. They appeared to be about 16 years old.
