Chapter 3: Let the Game Begin
¡§My lord.¡¨ Wormtail bowed in front of a hooded figure, ¡§The task went as it was planed, and it turned out the way you expect it to.¡¨
¡§So little Potter did grow.¡¨ The hooded figure¡¦s voice cold as the winter ice, ¡§That was just a warm up.¡¨ The figure rubbed his hands together, ¡§Now, Let the Game begin.¡¨

When Harry regained consciousness again he was no longer on the Hogwarts Express. He was lying in a bed in the Hospital Wing with his friends next to him. There was also a young witch he didn¡¦t know dressed in nurse¡¦s robs.
¡§Oh! Harry!¡¨ Hermione¡¦s worried face was now lit with a smile. Her eyes were red as if she¡¦s been crying. Harry struggled to get up. ¡§Oh no don¡¦t get up you need rest.¡¨ Madam Pomfrey stepped out of her office with Professor Lupin and Dumbledore behind her.
¡§Ah Harry you are awake!¡¨ said Dumbledore, ¡§Do you have any idea as to what happened on the train?¡¨ Harry shook his head.
¡§I was hoping you might sir.¡¨
¡§Well you had a nasty run in with a powerful bit of Dark Magic placed in Hermione¡¦s trunk on the train,¡¨ Dumbledore explained, Hermione shifted in her seat uncomfortably. ¡§Professor Lupin here kept you alive.¡¨
¡§I guess I¡¦m really lucky than.¡¨ Harry smiled weakly.
¡§You are lucky, with out you everyone on the train could have died.¡¨
¡§What?¡¨ Harry stared at Professor Dumbledore. ¡§Why?¡¨
¡§Well, you took the rather powerful blow from the Dinamic charm all by yourself.¡¨ Professor Lupin explained, ¡§It was powerful enough to blow up the whole train, but you somehow absorbed or rather focused it on yourself.¡¨
¡§Yeah you saved everyone!¡¨ said Ron who was still fascinated by the fact.
¡§How long have I been out for?¡¨ Harry asked.
¡§Not very long.¡¨ Said Madam Pomfrey. ¡§They¡¦ve just brought you in from the train.¡¨ She shoved a cup of potion into his hand. ¡§Drink this. It will prevent headaches.¡¨ Harry obediently drank the foul tasting potion.
¡§Excuse me, but I must return to the start of the year feast. The sorting would be starting soon.¡¨ Dumbledore said after Harry downed the last of his potion.
¡§May I go too?¡¨ Harry looked at Madam Pomfrey hopefully, ¡§I¡¦m feeling quite normal.¡¨ Madam Pomfrey examined him carefully and finally she said reluctantly.
¡§Oh alright Potter! But I will see you right here after the feast.¡¨
¡§I will see you later!¡¨ said Harry happily running out of the Hospital wing with his friends. Lupin watched them leave and sigh. Next to him Madam Pomfrey smiled.
¡§That boy is just getting stronger by the day.¡¨

The Great Hall was already filled with students when Harry, Ron and Hermione finally made their way in. The first years were there too standing in two lines in front of the High Table waiting to be sorted. A cheer went up as they enter the Hall.
¡§Way to go Potter!¡¨ Harry heard someone shouted.
¡§Everyone knows what happened.¡¨ Ron informed Harry in a whisper as they made their way down to the Gryffindor table. Hermione didn¡¦t say anything.
The Great Hall fell silent as Professor McGonagall placed a three-legged stool in front of the first years and, on top of it, the Sorting Hat. It began to sing.
You may think I look old
You may think I am broke
But I bet you will never find
Another hat so smart and bold
I belong to a great one
One named Gryffindor
He and three others had a dream
To teach those all adore
Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Gryffindor
Are the founders of Hogwarts School.
All of them have their values so into houses they divide.
The Gryffindors are brave and bold
Ravenclaw the cleverest
In Hufflepuff the hard workers were placed
Ambition in Slytherins is no disgrace.
Now long ago they can still divide
And chose by themselves
But what are we suppose to do
Now that they are gone
So the founders thought of me
And given me a head
I will take a look inside your mind
And I will choose instead
Come put me on don¡¦t be afraid
I would not ever be wrong
To put you in where you belong
That is my job.
The crowed burst into applause. The Weasley twins stood up on their chairs cheering above everyone else¡¦s clapping.
¡§Boy am I going to miss it¡¦s songs once I leave Hogwarts.¡¨ Said Gorge when they finally settled down.
¡§Yeah this is our last year.¡¨ His brother agreed.
¡§So maybe we should do something extra special¡K¡¨
¡§Like maybe¡K¡¨
¡§Getting good marks so you can come back and teach at Hogwarts?¡¨ Harry suggested.
¡§The kid¡¦s got a point.¡¨ Said Fred putting a serious look on his face.
¡§I reckon so too.¡¨ George nodded. And burst out laughing seeing the shocked look on Harry, Ron and Hermione¡¦s face. ¡§NA!¡¨ They said together. Everyone laughed. Even Hermione who¡¦s been quiet all evening. Harry was glad to see Hermione happy again. He knows she¡¦s blaming herself for the incident on the train. Since it was her trunk and she did ask him to open it. Harry touched Hermione¡¦s hand, she turned around to face him.
¡§Hermione. Is your luggage okay after you know.¡¨ Hermione could hear Harry over all the cheering as the first years are being sorted.
¡§you almost got killed and you wonder if my luggage is okay?¡¨ Hermione exclaimed.
¡§Well obviously I¡¦m alright but I don¡¦t know if your luggage is.¡¨ Hermione smiled and nodded. Good old Harry, even if he wasn¡¦t okay he¡¦d still be worrying about her luggage. He always thinks of everyone else before himself.
¡§Herm it¡¦s not your fault.¡¨ Harry¡¦s voice was soft his emerald green eyes shinning. ¡§you didn¡¦t know.¡¨
¡§I should have.¡¨ Hermione said harshly, ¡§I packed it, I should have known.¡¨
¡§Herm they could have put it in after you shut your trunk.¡¨ Harry said gently. Even if what Harry said was true Hermione still couldn¡¦t forgive herself. She remembered his groans of agony as the Dinamic charm zapped him. She had made him suffer. She had put him in pain. Harry evidently seemed to have read her mind he squeezed her hands tightly in his and gave her an encouraging smile. She smiled back.
Ginny watched this all from a distance were she sat alone. Tears filled her eyes, she was afraid, she didn¡¦t know what to tell them.
***
¡§Calvin Zackory.¡¨ A tall sandy haired boy stepped up to the stool as Professor McGonagall called his name. He was as tall a Ron. He sat in the stool with the Hat on his head. After a few moments the Hat called out.
¡§Gryffindor!¡¨
¡§Edward Zackory.¡¨ The last boy stepped out into view. Harry assumed that the boy was the identical twin of Calvin Zackory. He too had sandy hair and was as tall as Ron. He sat in the stool, but before the Hat even touch his hear it shouted.
¡§Gryffindor!¡¨ The sorting has now ended. The two new members of Gryffindor came and sat down next to Harry.
¡§Hi I¡¦m Calvin Zackory.¡¨ Said one of the boys holding a hand out to Harry.
¡§And I¡¦m his brother Edward Zackory. He¡¦s a bit older than me so that¡¦s why he¡¦s a bit taller.¡¨ Harry looked at the boys carefully. Yes one was shorter than the other. ¡§ We are 5th year transfer student¡¦s from Canada!¡¨
¡§Er¡K well I¡¦m Harry Potter.¡¨ Harry smiled and took Calvin¡¦s hand.
¡§You are Harry Potter?¡¨ Edward exclaimed.
¡§Yup. And this is my best friend Ron. And that is¡K¡¨
¡§Your girlfriend?¡¨ Calvin asked looking at Hermione. She blushed. So did Harry. Everyone who was listening in started to laugh. Harry quickly shook his head.
¡§No, she¡¦s a friend. Only a friend. She¡¦s Hermione.¡¨ Harry was still blushing.
¡§Right we know.¡¨ Said George who was standing near by.
¡§I¡¦m Fred and that is George.¡¨ Fred popped up from next to George. ¡§Ron is our baby brother. Aren¡¦t you Ronniekins?¡¨
¡§Shut up.¡¨ Ron said annoyed. The conversation was interrupted when Dumbledore stood up to speak.
¡§Welcome one and all¡K¡¨ His voice was drowned out by a loud sound of eerie music followed by a loud shattering sound.
Every piece of glass, window and mirrors, shattered all together. Everyone in the Great Hall froze, even the teachers. The silence didn¡¦t last for long, but long enough for Harry to wonder who would attack during the start of year feast? The still air was broken by the squeaks, and screeches through out the Hall as every piece of glass shot up and hovered in mid air. Chaos followed the squeaks. Glass pieces were zooming around slicing and plunging into people¡¦s flesh. Each piece search around hungrily for more pray, covered in blood.
¡§Everyone! Quick outside! First years first!¡¨ Professor McGonagall was screaming at the top of her lungs over the chaos. ¡§Prefects take your first years out!¡¨
Harry looked around the Hall franticly searching for his friends not noticing a piece of glass coming up behind him.
¡§Harry! Behind you!¡¨ Ron called out.
¡§Stupefy!¡¨ Harry shouted, just in time to stop the glass from cutting straight into his heart.
¡§We have to get out of here!¡¨ Hermione said over all the noise. She, Harry, Ron and the Zackory twins stood tightly together ¡V backs to each other. A swarm of glass hover around them like mad wasps. Now Harry got a close view of one of the pieces. It wasn¡¦t like the others; it had the Dark Mark on it.
¡§Let¡¦s get out of here!¡¨ Ron urged when they finally reached the big wooden doors. They were the only students still in the Hall. The last people for that matter of fact. There was only Hagrid and Dumbledore in there now.
¡§Hurry Ron!¡¨ said Fred ¡§We have to close the door before more comes out!¡¨ Ron stepped out the door followed closely by the others. Harry hesitated, looking back and spot Hagrid staggering. He was swinging his massive arms around trying to fend off the on coming showers of glass. Harry ran to his aid without hesitation. Not noticing his friends¡¦ desperate shout for him to come back.
¡§Stupefy!¡¨ Harry zapped a piece that was coming behind Hagrid aiming for his head.
¡§Harry! What ye doin¡¦ here? Yer suppose ta be behin¡¦ da doors in safety!¡¨ Hagrid bellowed angrily.
¡§But I couldn¡¦t just¡K¡¨ Harry argued.
¡§No time now!¡¨ Dumbledore had reached them. ¡§Stand back now!¡¨ he closed his eyes and started muttering something not noticing the sharp piece of glass coming behind him. The piece with the Dark Mark.
Harry raised his wand but another piece of glass sliced his arm. The pain caused him to drop his wand. He knew what he had to do. He stepped between Dumbledore and the glass. The pain was increasable as the glass forced it¡¦s way deep into his chest. Harry didn¡¦t have time to cry out in pain before he crumbled to the ground, unconscious.
***
Outside the Great Hall only the fifth, sixth and seventh years stood with the staff. They peered anxiously at the door. The atmosphere had become silent in the Great Hall. They let out a sigh of relief as the door creaked open. Hagrid came out carrying Harry¡¦s limp body with Dumbledore on his side..
and for those who are comfused about Ginny. She was under Voldmort's curse. See she's jelouse of Hermione and she's been touched by the Dark Magic before so she's easyer to get at.
