start of second year, HogwartsExpress
Harry found himself staring out the window of his car with Draco and his year mates having idle conversation. They were looking forward to the new year, yet Harry couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible was bound to happen... A feeling of incredible anxiety pervaded his thoughts.
"Something on your mind?" Draco looked towards Harry. The silence he received was deafening to the car, as if Draco had just committed a terrible blunder.
Harry, glancing toward Draco responded, "I have the district feeling that we will be in for a rough year. I worry how well this will be handled by our "minders". Harry's voice had quickly grown colder the longer he spoke, especially when it came to who he deemed their minders.
Draco nodded in response and let the subject drop. He knows that Harry had more than a little rough time during the summer vacation. He turned back to his friends and continued on in easy conversation waiting for the announcement that they'd be arriving shortly.
Hogwarts Great Hall, sorting feast
The sorting went as normal with few notable members, the most recognizable was a young girl with amazingly pale hair and wide, round eyes. Harry took note of the girl because he felt that there was something ethereal about her. That he started a sort of kinship to the young girl, he will have to look into this further. Just as he finished that thought the old man stood and began to speak.
"It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all, both back to and starting, your Hogwarts years. We shall endeavor to keep yourselves as comfortable and knowledgeable as possible. There has been an update to the list of banned items, which you can find in Mr. Filch's door, and of course the forbidden forest is forbidden for those not wanting a most gruesome death. For even I hesitate to tread there. We also, have a new defense teacher as I'm sure you're all aware." Dumbledore said this with a slight grimace on his face. "Please join me in welcoming, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart."
There was a smattering of applause, the Slytherin table gave the man a blank stare, not believing their misfortune at having such an incompetent ass teaching them. Harry however had a large grin when thinking of how best to play the man for a fool. He decided to discuss it with Draco when they reached the Slytherin dorms. Perhaps, this year won't be as bad as I thought it'd be...
Poor Harry, he had forgotten about one of the basic rules of life. Don't tempt the powers that be.
A/N: My friends, my readers, can you ask hear me, can you... Well you can't do either so you'll have to settle for reading me. I'd like to apologise profusely for the 2 year absence I just recently graduated with my bachelor's and that is the primary reason that I have not updated in so long m having said that I am considering rewriting this as I surely don't know where the fuck I was going with this and I remember fuck-all about pjo. I want to thank each and everyone of you for factoring favoriting and following, not to mention the reviews I've received. But honestly? That's take waaaay too long, so we'll have to settle for me just going it here.
THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH PEOPLE, UNTIL NEXT TIME!
