Chapter 3: Caesar
Harry,
Ron and Hermione moved with the crowd into the great hall and took their places
at the Gryffindor table.
But instead of the sorting instantly starting like it had the previous year Dumbledore got to his feat to address the school.
"Before
we sort the new first years we must place some new elder students into their
houses, Professor McGonagall if you please."
Harry
immediately thought of the family of children with the woman that positively
freaked him and presumed it must be them. Now sooner had Dumbledore said his
last word the door to the chamber at the side of the great hall opened and in
marched five of the children Harry had seen. The hall filled with a silence and
an odd feel to it a sort of powerful feel, not one that sent a chill down your
spine but one that sort of warmed you and made you feel like you could do
anything in the world.
They
were in what looked like age order, the two black haired twin boys, two twin
girls with copper ringlets cascading over their shoulders and last of all
another black haired boy of about 13. The new arrivals took their seat on the
bench near the sorting hat. Professor McGonagall got up and opened a scroll.
"Marcus
Caesar," she read. The first of the twin boys stood and put on the hat.
Hermione
muttered to herself, "Caesar, why does that ring a bell?"
"Why
should it ring a bell," queried Ron.
"I
don't know," snapped Hermione, "I wouldn't ask myself if I knew."
The
hat had now finished sorting Marcus who was now a new Gryffindor.
"Titus
Caesar," read McGonagall.
The
nest twin stood and tried on the hat. Caesar thought Harry what and odd name
and why not come to Hogwarts in first year? And why does their mother freak me.
If I can call it being freaked. And those boys who else do they remind me of.
Why am I even noticing these people they're nothing. Ahhhh said a little
voice in Harrys head How do you know they are nothing? For all you know they
could be death eaters in disguise or some ancient wizard reincarnated.
Reindarnated thought Harry there's not such thing. And death eaters Dumbledore
wouldn't allow that he'd find out somehow anyway they have a mother.
By
now the two girls had been sorted along with the eldest two and the last boy
was sitting with the hat over his eyes. The girls
That
had just been sorted had just sat down at the Gryffindor table just down from
Harry and Ron and on the other side of the Weasley twins.
Harry
heard the Sorting Hat shout "Gryffindor," and the youngest boy took it off and
ran down to join his brothers and sisters.
Shortly
after the sorting of the 1st years began.
"Wow,"
Harry heard someone say down the table to the new students, "Enough of you."
One
of the girls laughed while one of the twins said "We have a brother in first
year and 5 younger ones at home and an elder brother working in the Avada
Kadavra Association." The Avada Kadavra Association I wonder what the do thought
Harry
"So
there's twelve of you altogether," asked Hermione who was closest to the girls.
"Whoa
you can count," replied one of them.
"And
I thought we were a big family," exclaimed Fred.
"Look
Julia," said one of the girls, "Aurelius is being sorted."
A
boy that was a miniature image of his elder brothers was sitting on the stool.
His brothers and sisters watched for the following 10 minutes before the hat
shouted "Ravenclaw."
"Bummer,"
muttered the youngest Gryffindor Caesar.
By
the end of the Feast all Gryffindors were aquatinted with the Caesars who
seemed to have no trouble remembering names. Marcus, Titus Fred and George were
planning an ambush on Slytherin Common Room. Harry had managed to remember all
their names the two boy twins were Marcus and Titus the two girls Julia and
Aelia the younger one was Commodus and the Ravenclaw was Aurelius.
