Chapter 5
"Of course you can sit here, I'm James and that's Sirius," said James.
Sirius gave James and evil look, but James ignored it and started to talk to Peter. Meanwhile, Sheila tried to start a conversation with Sirius, but she turned so red after uttering one sentence that she had to rush out to the restroom. Sirius was laughing hysterically at her. Mackenzie was sitting by Frank Longbottum, talking to him amicably, trying to make him feel better about falling down and everything.
Suddenly the boy that Lily was sitting next to, a short pale kid with dusty brown hair and big gray eyes, started coughing violently.
"Are you ok??" Lily asked.
"Yeah, I'm just a little sick," said the boy as soon as he could talk, "what's your name?"
"Lily Lamont. What's yours?"
"Remus Lupin. Did you always know about this place?"
"No. I had never heard of it until I got that green letter."
"I didn't even know there WAS such a thing as magic until one day when...well I found out a little while ago because of this thing...that happened and...er... but anyways, were you surprised to be accepted here?"
"I was shocked. I'm just like you, Remus, I didnt even know there was such a thing as Magic. No one in my family is magic except me, not even my twin sister."
"You have a twin sister?"
"Yep," said Lily, nearly choking on the great lump that had just formed in her throat," she hates me now. She didn't want me to come here."
"Why not?"
Lily shrugged her shoulders, praying that Remus would change the subject.
"So are you really the ONLY magical person in your family?" Remus asked.
"Yeah, as far as I know......"
"I thought I was too, but my dad told me just before I came here that my mom, who ran off right after she had me, was a witch. He had never told me before because he didn't want me to know about magic and stuff, I guess he was afraid I'd run off too or something."
"Oh, I see," said Lily softly, "Well, unless they're keeping something from me, I'm the only magic person in my family. My dad and sister are definitely muggles though. There's no doubt in my mind. My mom is too, I'm sure, although she could probably pass for a witch. She's not quite as...you know...blatantly muggle as most muggles."
Just then, an old, bent-over man with white eyebrows that were so enormous they made his eyes look like two little slits, hobbled into the Great Hall.
Many of the students gasped with surprise. Professor Dumbledore stood up and welcomed him with a smile.
"Students, may I present the Minister of Magic, Harold Harvey, who has graciously accepted my invitation to our feast."
"Good evening to all of you," he said almost dreamily, "I am sorry I couldn't be here to watch you all get sorted. Students, I want you to all sit up straight and put on your VERY best behavior, for we are about to be blessed with the company of an amazing, very bright wizard. He was head boy in his day, and I have just managed to convince him to accompany me here. I'm sure it's alright, eh Dumbledore?"
Dumbledore was looking a bit anxious.
He should be here any min---"
Suddenly, the door of the Great Hall swung open and in walked a very tall, very thin, very pale wizard with blazing black hair and icey green eyes. He was very handsome (Sheila started hiccupping again).
For some reason, as soon as this wizard entered the room, Professor Dumbledore sprung out of his chair and pulled out his wand…
"Aha," said the wizard amicably in a high-pitched voice, "Professor Dumbledore. It has been far too long, since last we met."
Something about the tone of his voice sent chills down Lily's spine. From what she could tell, most everyone else looked rather uncomfortable as well.
"Yes, Tom, far too long. I welcome you to Hogwarts," Dumbledore said, forcing a smile, as he put his wand back.
Tom let out a long, wild laugh, "God this place hasn't changed at all since I was here. How disappointing. Well, students," he said, still laughing a bit, "you should feel very honored. Albus Dumbledore is by far the most........ er......knowledgable person I know.......except for maybe myself."
Suddenly his attention faltered as his eyes met those of Sophia Saphire........
For a brief instant, the cold, tombstone eyes melted, and Lily saw that he almost looked sad...but in a flash they were back to normal.
Sophia Saphire avoided the eyes of Tom Riddle.
Professor Dumbledore observed all of this and said, "Alright students, time for bed, your prefects will lead you to your tower and give you the password. Sweet Dreams to all...."
A/N ahhhh this is a reaally old fic that I found in the depths of my pc the other day, and I already had through chapter 7 finished. If you want to see it, R/R!! I want at least 6 reviews before I post chapter 6! As soon as that happens, I promise I'll post it!
