Chapter 2:Sorting.
Tehhie:
We all climbed into the boats, instructed by some huge person - I heard his name was Hagrid or
something, who yelled "first years 'ere! First years 'ere!" all the time. I was sitting in the same boat as
two gloomy-looking boys and a girl, who sot me a look that meant "don't talk- I'm nasty", but
because I was nasty also, I decided to talk, but was interrupted buy a loud splash from somewhere
ahead. I saw a little boat with some people aboard being soaked with water, and then these people
raising their wands and shouting all the time.
"Hey, they don't seem to be very cooled up " - one of the gloomy boys said, and his neightbor broke
into silly giggling.
I murmured "Boys!" and turned to look at the other boats again. I spent about a minute watching
them, when our boat began to shake. I turned around just in time to see one the boys flying into the
lake. His neightbor leaned over the boat's side to help him out, and the boat began to shake
dangerously.
Me and the girl screamed
"Stop, whatyadoing?" in the same time, but it was too late. The boat turned upside down and we
were all in the water. I felt like cursing that guy;s head off - the water was freezing.
Finally, we were miraculously lifted up and placed back on the boat which was back to normal again.
the girl snapped on the guys loudly,
screaming
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING? IT'S NOT THE EXACT KIND OF DAY WE
WOULD LIKE A SWIM IN A ICY WATER!"
"Well, it wasn't THAT cold" - one of the boys replied weakly.
I, meanwhile, saw that our boat almost approached the bank, and grabbed by bag, which was also
pulled out by some force from the bottom of the lake.
After about five seconds we all went out, guys murmuring "Hope we don't get into the same house"
to the girl. I parted from them and the crowd, noisy, carried me into the sorting room. Sorting Hat sat
in the middle of the room, just like sister told me she would. I was too busy trying to get my cat back
into the purse to listen to its song, but when everybody finally clapped and took a seat, and I forced
Melyfaro back in, I took a good look on it. Ordinary hat - nothing special...
I felt really nervous, and only heard a few "A" names, because thinking took all of my attention. My
sister had been in Gryffindor, my mom and dad, too, and if I get into something else... death is worse
- my sister will think I'm a slug, because THAT'S what she thinks about all the other houses...
I heard the teacher shout out
"Evans, Lily", and saw Lily, pale, walk up and place the hat on her head. But I didn't get to hear what
house she was in, because my cat almost escaped again (it's annoying, I know).
TIme passed like nothing and then I heard it
"Pondohva, Tehhie"
I got up, and walked up to the hat, feeling dizzy and nervous. I though
"What is it will take the hat forever to decide? What if it never will?"
I placed the hat on my head, thinking "Gryffindor, Gryffindor", ot really feeling it - if all the gryffindors
were like my sister, I would rather organize a new house.
The hat must've sensed that. It really did seem for her to take forever to decide. Finally she shouted
"SLYTHERIN!"
and I, seeing my sis' face (it was miserable - and it was great!), walked up to Slytherins' table, which
was clapping. I set next to some pale girl, who looked quiet shocked with being placed into Slytherin,
and watched the rest of students getting sorted. Right then, when the hat finally sorted Zizid, Hannah
into Hufflepuff, the shocked-looking girl patted my shoulder
"You cat is running away!" - she whispered,
"Oh, not that!" - I groaned, and a girl, probably seeing the miserable look on my face offered her
help.
"Oh thanks, sure" and we ran up the hall.
Lily:
Lily was terribly nervous.She had heard from either Sirius or James that being sorted invloved usage
of your wand."Great,"she thought miserably.But she was determined,anyway,to overcome this
obstacle.Somehow."Now standing in the Great Hall, she could see the enchanted
cealing."Amazing,"she breathed."You dont see that everyday do you?"Lily turned to see Remus
Lupin standing behind her.Remus had been the third boy in their car and looked normal, yet tired,
once more.At the moment, he was tugging on one of the sleeves of an obviously shabby robe.Lily
had seen the galnces some people were giving him, but she thought he was nice despite what people
were saying."Hey Rose,"a voice whispered."Lily"she said- annoyed at having to correct Sirius
again.He grinned wildly."I said Lily didnt I?"Lily rolled her eyes at him and turned
around."LILY!""WHAT?"She jumped and turned to find James right behind her."I think youre further
up."Did he have to sneak up at her like that,Lily thought frowning.James smiled wider and Sirius
grabbed Lily's hand,shoving her somewhere in line,waving at her as he moved to the front of the
line.It was soon time for the sorting to begin."BLACK,SIRIUS."The hat barely touched his head
when it called out "GRYFFINDOR."In no time at allit was Lily's turn. She carefully put the hat
on,thinking to herself,this was all very strange."I wonder how this works?"she mumbled.The hat
spoke to her."An inquisitve mind...interesting.Ah, and here's a bit of courage.Integrity,that will take
you very far.What's this?Well,this is a find...I can say nothing more but to put you in
GRYFFINDOR!"The hat spoke to me was all Lily could think about as she reached the roaring
Gryffindor table."Atta girl,Violet."Lily turned to see Sirius smiling and patting her on the back.Just to
tired to care anymore,she laughed.Moments later Remus Lupin had joined their table, as had James
Potter."Great,"Lily muttered,running her hands through her hair.The last Gryffindor seated was a
pale,nervous,and very twitchy boy named Peter Pettigrew.Lily's heart went out to him.He looked as
lost as she felt.Looking around the room,she saw that Tehhie was at the Slytherin table with Snape,
the pale boy, and the two walking walls."Pity,"she murmured."That's what I was just
saying,Lily."Sirius exclaimed.He turned to James and Remus."It's a pity,as our good friend Lily has
pointed out, that slimey Snape hasnt gotten his what for yet."James grinned and Remus leaned
forward,interested."Oh no,"Lily groaned."What did you have in mind?"Remus asked.James and
Sirius exchanged a look and smiled."Just a little prank.Wanna get in on the fun Lil?"Sirius asked
wiggiling his eyebrows at her.James looked at her curiously and Remus grinned.Sighing,Lily
muttered."Fine,fine.Just dont get me into trouble.It's not even the first day of school yet.""Nah!Dont
worry about it,Lily,"James said."We wont get into too much trouble."
Severus:
-Hey, Lucius, are you sure we wanted to drown ALL THE BOATS?-asked i, when the third boat
swayed and it's passengers sunk into the freezing water.
-No-nervously answered he-Just i forgot how to stop it.
-Finita incantatem!-cried i, but the fourth boat happily rolled over, sending a couple of crying people
into lake. In this moment something huge passed our dancing vessel, something huge and waved
gigantic umbrella, as it seemed. Boats ceased their fascinating jig-dance, and we (i, Lucius and G&G)
disembarked just in time to escape a good kick by same umbrella. We were in kind of dungeon, and
Hagrid the brave saver led us to dirty-looking steps, still cursing.
All we crowded in some little Chamber, waiting for sorting, some people nervously repeating spells,
some fidgeting with their wands, some just staying with completely hopeless countenance. The girl
next to me was from the last sort. Lucius, kind as he was, tried to console her:"Don't worry, the
sorting is very simple-you just got to perform a Cruciatus curse or Transmogrifan torture, it's all."
-No, he's kidding-interrupted i.-It's only to be sorted in Slytherin.For Ravenclaw is enough to know,
in what school you goes, and for Hufflepuff-what's your name. If you cannot answer last question,
you are in Gryffindor.But i can teach you Cruciatus curse on this three guys next to blond beauty,
see?
-Thanks-snorted the girl-but i know perfectly well sorting procedure, my sister's in Gryffindor.And
you are those scoundrels who turned over all the boats!
-No, you're wrong, i got only one, he missed and got yours-i pointed on Lucius, who dropped the
wand, hearing such a lie.-By the way, my name is Severus, and yours?Hope, not McGonagall junior?
- Tehhie Pon...
But the real McGonagall entered and led all us to Great Hall, to make acquaintances with old crazy
Sorting Hat.
Lucius, naturally, got his desired Slytherin, as well as Grabbe and Goyle, and, surprisingly,
Gryffindor-sistered Tehhie girl . And all the three damned gits (Potter, Black and Lupin, as i learned)
went to Gryffindor. O'key, it seemed that my choice was obvious.
But damned Hat didn't think so! When i put this greasy nest on me, it giggled in my ear and
whispered:"What about Gryffindor?" "Oh, no, you stupid dustbin"-thought i. Not that i was against
Gryf in principle, but not with such a team. "But you can go very well in Gryffindor, you are brave
enough, and surely not all the greatness is evil.And i'm not greasy nest, anyway, looks at your hair!".
"Go to the Godric's ass, no Gryffindor, and hurry, i'm starving!" " Well, then-SLYTHERIN!"-yelled
hat, and slytherin's table erupted in applause (thanks to enormous hands of Grabbe and Goyle).
Tehhie:
Me and the girl ran into the Hall. Four large table were in there, with silver and green serpent banner
for Slytherin, red and gold lion for gryffindor, blue adn bronze eagle for Ravenclaw and finally, yellow
and black badger for Hufflepuff.
But I was not looking on eiter of them too closely now - somewhere here was a cat I can't wait to
give a good kick up the...
- Tehhie! - I heard
The girl pointed out on some cat running towards the Ravenclaw table.
I ran up to him, and quickly stuffed him into the bag, saying
"Oh, when will you stop doing that!" and thinking 'if we'll learn a good enough piece of
Transfiguration this year I'll turn this cat into something steady!"
Finally I approached the Slytherin table. Severus or whatever was his name was already talking to
that otehr boy, who tried to confuse me with that Cruciatus Curse. Severus had a really strange sort
of grin on his face - you might ever think that he's going to blow up the entire school or just sit there
and talk, as normal people do.
Probably he was just up to something mean, what will suit him (I still though it was him who made us
take a great chilly bath in the middle of the lake!). Then I suddenly realized that the only free seat was
next to him. Trying hard not to attract attention I quietly sat, still trying to deal with my cat - he
obviously thought that "outside" sounded way better than "inside". Meanwhile the plates filled with
food. In the middle of the feast I heard.
- So what was your name again?
I turned and saw that that was Severus - eh finally discovered that I was sitting next to him.
- Tehhie - I said
- Glad to be here? - he asked
- Where "here?". In this house - yes, why not?
- Because we're all so evil here! - he made a grimace, but then became serious again - See these
three morons over there, on Gryffindor table, talking to that blonde girl?
- Yeah. I know her - she's Lily.
- whatever. Pay attention, now.
Severus took out his wand and murmured something. It was as if nothing happened, but then
suddenly I saw one of boys' nose starting to grow to the gigantic sizes, and some teacher had to take
him away. Severus laughted
- Easy one - and quiet useful - dad taught me.Or, actually, i tried it first on my dad, when he wanted to shut me in cupboard once. - he said, after, finally, calming down.
- That was funny, wasn't it? - another boy, the one who Severus had been talking to, asked
- Not really. What's your name, anyway?
- Lucius.
- Oh, great - I said, and helped myself with some mashed potatoes - You guys are trouble
- Not at all. THESE two - he pointed at the two guys' direction - and the another one, are trouble.
Potter, Black and Lupin, their names are, if you want to know.
- They sure don't look like trouble. And you do.
- Yeah, right. But they are freaks anyway - they're in Gryffindor.
- Not every Gryffindor is a freak - Lily is nice.
- May be, but don't think that everybody there is.
- Don't think everybody here is, either - I replied gloomily - my cat scratched everything out of me,
and it sure did hurt.
Severus wanted to reply, but didn't get a chance - Dumbledore stood up and began to talk about all
that usual stuff- what we can do, and what we can't do - like all the teachers.
As for me, I simply didn't care too much - I knew that my life is trouble, so avoid it or not - same
result.
Lily:
Lily leaned in closely to the three boys,albeit reluctantly. Sirius was about to explain his "brilliant
plan"(as he called it) when he suddenly stopped.His nose was growing huge!"Um Sirius,"Lily
asked."Is this part of your brilliant plan?" James tried to turn a snicker into a cough."Yeah,"Remus
added,"You gonna sniff them to death?"James could nt help it,he laughed."This wasn't my idea!"Sirius
said angrilly."Snape!Damn it... it was Snape.I know it."His nose being to big for his face,Professor
McGonagall approached, looked suspiciously at the group of four."What is this?""It's my nose."Sirius
said clamly."Is it too big, you think?"Lily put a hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing.She
noticed that the pale boy-Peter was his name- was giggling. James was looking at his plate and
Remus was examining the cealing.Professor McGonagall looked at them narrowing her eyes,"This
way Mr. Black,"she said firmly."And no more magic at the table,"she scolded those remaining like
children.Sirius threw a look towards the Slytherin table over his ever growing nose and glared. He
mumbled something about carrying out his brilliaat plan the next morning at breakfast."Snape's gonna
get it,"James said grinning."You dont know that he did it James,"Lily replied.His brown eyes
narrowed."Of course he did. How many other people here know us and would do this?"Lily
shrugged, not wanting to argue as she was growing tired.Remus was now finishing off his pumpkin
juice when Peter piped up."What are you gona do to him?"James, Remus and Lily turned to
Peter.James smiled,"You want in?"Peter looked nervously at them and then around the
room."S-sure."he smiled timidly."All right then!"Remus said."Tomorrow morning then.We'll inform
Sirius of our new accomplice....um ..you are?""P-peter Pettigrew.""Glad to have you on
board,Peter."James said taking a bite out of Lily's treacle pudding."Hey!" she protested, taking a
swat at him. James dodged easily,smiled,and turned back to his plate.Lily shook her yead and tried
to suppress a yawn. Remus was studying the banners and Peter was back to nervously looking
around, so Lily focused on the Slytherin table and saw Tehhie.She had been nice,Lily thought.How
did she end up over there?It was then she noticed that Tehhie was sitting between Snape, and the tall
pale boy. They were both talking avidly to her, making movements with their arms.They snickered
when a Hufflepuff first year tripped on his way to another seat.Lily frowned.Maybe it was Snape
who had done that nose thing to Sirius after all.Lily felt eyes on the table suddenly and saw both boys
and Tehhie looking in their general direction."What are they looking at?"Lily wondered
Tehhie:
When the feast ended Severus, Lucius and me, went up to the Slytherin Common Room. I caught a
glimpse of Lily going into the opposite directiong and murmured to myself:
"Oh, well, not everybody who's nice is where you are, dear"
Severus and Lucius, seemed, even if having an sick sense of humour, okay, but not too nice, I
daresay. Our prefect said the password for the house outloud, but I didn't hear it, because of
Severus, Lucius and G&G talking excitedly by my side about "Black, the big-nosed jerk". Finally we
walked in, and the first thing I did, I let out my cat.He looked around, and stared suspiciously at
G&G- he was probably not sure about their human nature - they sure did look like two large rocks,
covered with clothes. After that he went his free way somewhere...
Because I was already up to the middle of the "Standard Book Of Spells: Grade 1", and was
desperate to read more, I opened my trunk, and took it out.
Finding myself a nice couch I buried my nose in the book, and was reading about one great spell,
when somebody interruped me.
- So you ARE McGonagall Junior, aren't you? - I jumped and turned around. It was Severus
It was getting crazy - If he'll come creeping on me again, I'll get paranoia!
- No I am not. I don't know who she or he is anyway. i was just reading the good book - I said,
irritated
- okay, I don't mean anything - but is THAT book you call interesting? I didn't mean anything
anyway. I was just joking - Severus said, and sat down besides me on the couch - And as for
Mcgonagall -she is the worst teacher in the entire school.
- What does she teach?
- She teachs Transfiguration and is the head of Gryffindor House.
- Oh... So you have natural dislike for everybody in Gryffindor? - I said mischievously
- Oh, not really
- yeah? Then why do you keep cussing them off? I don't hear you saying anything about Ravenclaw
or Hufflepuff!
- Well,if Gryfindor got the worst teacher as a head, and the worst - so far - students in it -
NATURALLY I will not be liking them too much!
- You mean these whatever you called them Black, Potter and Lupin? You mean them?
- Who else?
- But you have to admit it - you started it in the Feast Hall. I mean that you made that Black's guy
nose go so large you cannot see his face!
- No way! They started it on the lake. Our boat got soaked with water because of them.
- Yeah, and then you drowned all the boats.
- nearly. But you know what I bet- I bet you anything - even a thousand Galleons that no later than
tomorrow afternoon will these jerks get back on us with that way or another.
- Yeah, "us" - sounds good and hopefull - as if I even know what you did to that Black person.
- Well, may be just me, they're supposed to be very just, aren't they?
- Stop picking on Gryffindors.
- I can pick on anybody I want.
- Well, may be you do - You're in the different house, right?
- So are you. So stop defending them!
- Okay, okay, just don't pick on a fight on our first day here!
- Whatever - Severus murmured
- You know what I'm planning to do, Severus? - I heard Lucius saying from somewhere behind the
couch.
- Yeaaaah? - Severus looked at him
- You don't know what I have in mind, do you? - Lucius made a silly type of grin
- No, No I don't - so go on, will you tell us or not? - Severus asked Lucius, looking angry.
- Oh, fine. Well, it's kind of my turn to put a joke on our Gryffindor friends, and then Tehhie and
then...
- No, guys, you can do anything - but I am NOT in it. Our "Gryffindor friends" as you said haven't
done a single THING to me. So you can just pass my turn to Grabbe and Goyle over there- I
pointed on two boulders, who were playing checkers, looking like they didn't have the slightest idea how to.
- Tehhie, come on, it's fun! - Lucius said, grinning.
- No it is not! If that's your idea of fun - you can carry on without me! - I got extremely annoyed with
them alerady, and really - showing their mean side to everybody on the very first day wouldn't get
them too far!
- Tehhie, don't worry, they'll have enough time during the year to blow you into pieces!- Lucius
smiled again - his smile was totally not the one I was calling "great".
- Oh, you don't have to worry about me, Lucius Malfoy- I jumped on my feet, probably red with
anger, and grabbed my trunk - If they'll do anything to me, I'll find a way to answer!- and went off to
the girls dormitory, hearing Severus and Lucius talking about me.
- She sure is like McGonagall Jr. - Lucius said, but Severus asnwered
- She's okay, She's just got friend in Gryffindor or something...
the rest of their conversation I didn't have a chance to hear.I would've bet anything it was about
Lucius' Malfoy's turn to be mean.
I just didn't get it - Lily seemed a nice girl, and I highly suspected that these Potter, Black and Lupin
weren't as bad as Severus was trying to present them. Whatever... I love pulling pranks, but I love
doing it when it's worth it, not when I don't even know the victims. I guess I'll find out what these
three gryffindors are like tomorrow... - I thought sleepily, shutting the book - I was completely sure
that these three will pull a prank on Severus tomorrow...
- Wonder what it's going to be - I murmured to Melyfaro, who was snoring on my bed already, and
slipped into deep sleep.
Lily:
Lily never knew what the three Slytherins were looking at that night in the Great Hall.She walked tiredly to the Gryffindor Tower with James,Remus, and Peter.The three boys were talking animatedly about the plan for breakfast the next day."Lil!"Remus called.Lily brushed some red hair out of her eyes."Hmmm.."she replied sleeplily"You're so articulate, Evans,"James said grinning, walking next to her."Gosh,Potter,and here I was wondering if youd ever notice my sparkling wit."Lily replied blandly.Remus chuckled."Ok you two.Sirius'll probably be back in our dorms dont you think?""Wh-why?"Peter asked struggling to keep up with the long strides of the two guys."Why Peter?We'll it's simple."James replied."Sirius is going to tell us our separate parts for Operation Get Snape."Lily thought it was the most ridiculous name she'd heard.They arrived in their dorm to find Sirius pacing frantically."Finally!I thought you three had left me to carry this out by myself."Then he noticed Peter and stopped pacing."Whos this?"he asked.Peter went red."This is Peter,Sirius."Lily said with an encouraging smile towards Peter."He's gonna help us with..um..you know."James said stiing in an oversized chair by the fire.Sirius smiled his wild smile."Excelent!The more the merrier I say!"Then he motioned for everyone to sit on the floor and talk softly."Allright...this is what we're gonna do."Lily prayed to herself that these boys wouldnt cause her too much trouble.Sighing she listened to Sirius.By the time he had finished,even Lily was laughing."Well?"Sirius asked."Brilliant,Si."James said taking off his glasses to rub his eyes tiredly."Ok,we'll meet in the Great Hall ten minutes early to go over the plan again."Sirius was rubbing his hands in anticipation of what was going to happen tomorrow.The five new friends said good night and went their separte ways,Lily to the girls dorm and Sirius,James,Remus, and Peter into the other.
And at the same time in cesspit:
So, when Moody peered from his dustbin, he was really surprised to see
large Dumbledor's beard swinging over the Voldemort's ugly head, poking from garbage pile. They
continued their interesting conversation:
-Don't you dare to insult property of my family, you old piece of joke-reared Voldie, and dived in
cesspit for his wand. -I'll show you, Dumbledor!
"So IT IS Dumbledor"-awed Moody, but it was his last thought (don't worry, Fred, just for a while),
because Dumbledor backed from the enraged Dark Lord and tumbled over the Moody's trash
can.With tremendous crash can rolled from the top of pile and Moody lose his unhappy conscience
again . For pity, because the second part of conversation was of fare more interest.
It seemed, however, that Voldemort's wand drowned in trash, so, he desided to relax and only
murmured something as: " your brother always think you are stupid, and it's only question where i
agree with him". But aloud he said:
-What about our plan, Aberforth?I seriously doubts you can play your twin, especially in Hogwarts,
you couldn't even put a spell on goat properly!
-Heh, may be i cannot, but as Headmaster i have only to make a clever countenance, nothing
more-and i can do it no worse than my haughty brother. Anyway, if our plan works, it soon will be
only a sad ruin on Hogwarts place, i hate it too much from my childhood.I've never got good marks,
and my damned brother never helped me, never....-and Aberforth Dumbledor (it was nobody else
than him) sobbed in his enormous silvery beard.
Voldemort:
Voldemort was sitting on the ruined hearth of his father manor and skeptically looking on moaning
Dumbledor-2. "And i have to use such a retard for my magnificent plan!What a sorrowful fate-great
people always have to deal with morons." He smiled bitterly and said:
-No, my poor Aberforth, i have no intention to destroy Hogwarts or even to kill your brother.
Hogwarts will serve for our great goal to rise a new generation of pure-blood powerful wizards, only
we need slightly change it's running.As about Headmaster-i need to keep him alive, and for what it's
not your problem, you must simply obey my orders.
-But...but...-stuttered Dumbledor-But how, he's so strong magically, even Imperius curse cannot
keep him down for a long...And, besides, i must to revenge him for all my oppression!I hate him!I'll
kill him by my own hands!
-Not so quickly, man.I said i need him alive and you heard me.Or you want to contradict your
master, miserable?
Dumbledor-2 whimpered, seeing the rage in Dark Lord's eyes, and knelt.
-No, no, command me, my Lord!
Lord Voldemort smirked and declared:
-My faithful servant in Ministry is going to arrange a little meeting with Professor Dumbledor this
month.I believe that after this meeting you'll replace your instantly sick brother-and who'll notice the
difference?..
