Chapter 7 *********** Kadidas and Hermes
Harry and Ron both looked at each other with horrific looks on their faces, could they have done this the day they knocked into her? Hermione looked at Ron and Harry with suspicion but then turned back to Dumbledore and the girl, who were now walking up the great hall. Harry glanced a look over to Fred and George, who had their mouths hanging open and obviously also thinking about the day at the train station.
Harry turned back to Dumbledore who had now reached the staff table and now flicked his wand and everyone could hear his voice." Good Evening students and welcome to a brand new year at Hogwarts. (usually everyone would applaud at this but today no one moved) Sorry, for my inconvenience of being late, but I do hope you enjoyed you short holiday while I was away. Well any ways lets go on with the sorting, first years please line up at the stage" Dumbledore said.
And Harry watched as the little table of first years scurried up to the stage and formed a line. Harry saw Mc.Gonagall walk up to them and tell them instructions, but Harry didn't hear her, his mind was focused on the girl, she seamed to be at least in her 4th or 5th year. Then he remembered what she had said about moving around alot. Harry turned to Ron to tell him what he remembered but Ron spoke up first ," Harry, you don't think she's going to attend Hogwarts this year do you?" Harry was about to answer but Hermione interrupted ,"Why what's wrong with her attending Hogwarts, she's probably just an exchange student"
Harry was about to speak again but this time Ron interrupted ," Hermione, you wouldn't know you weren't there you didn't see what happened." Harry was going to say something once again but didn't have a chance because Hermione argued," Why, what happened?'' and Harry watched as Ron and Hermione had a whole conversation about the day at the train station, as Harry watched the first years being sorted. Mc.Gonagall than shouted ''Newbert , yaani " and ''Nylee, Holly'' (who were sorted into Ravenclaw and Slytherin) and then came ''Malfoy,Hermes" and Hermione and Ron stopped arguing and totally focused on the little boy as he walked up to the hat.
The hat took at least 12 minutes, in which not a sound was heard except a few conversations coming from various table, Harry glanced a look at Draco who looked proud and sure but still extremely nervous. Harry was about to point this bizarre event out to Hermione but she looked almost frozen to the sorting hat, So harry stopped himself. After about 2 more minutes the Sorting Hat finally open the slit as his mouth and shouted something no one in the whole hall expected , "HUFFLEPUFF".
No one applauded like usual they just stared as the small boy walked nervously over to the Huffle Puff table, everyone kept glancing over to Draco, who's expression looked as though he were about to say 'there's been some sort of mistake' but didn't. The silence was broken by Hermione whispering excitedly into Harry and Ron's ear ," I knew it " Harry was going to ask Hermione what she knew but the shock was still on him intensely. He then noticed how stupid he must have looked with his mouth hanging open (some drool even leaking out from the amount of time it had been open) and his eyes squinted trying to get a better look at Hermes.
So he shut his mouth and *tried* to turn his attention to the sorting. From Mc.Gonagalls voice even she sounded amazed. Harry's mind was still in the back of his head until he heard the familiar voice of Dumbledore saying ,"Yes, looks like we have a great batch of first years here this year. And may I wish you all very good luck in your upcoming years. But, we have yet one more student to be sorted, may I introduce my 5th year niece, Kadidas." The whole hall turned to the girl who was now walking to the sorting hat with an interested look on her face which she had through out the whole sorting.
She sat down on the stool and put the hat on, which fell right under her eyes. The whole hall watched curiously, even Snape had a weird look on his face. 6 minutes went by when the sorting hat let out a rare sound. Then another and Harry knew it was laughing! The hat began to laugh on her head and she had a mischievous smile on her face. The Sorting hat laughed some more and then said ," Oh, that was a good one. This ones definitely GRYFFINDOR, oh my, I will remember this one" .
The girl Kadidas swiftly took off the hat and put it back on the stool and walked to the Gryffindor table. The whole hall watched her suspiciously as she sat down at the end of the table near nearly headless nick. The hat continued to giggle time by time, which just made everyone more suspicious, what had she done to it? Dumbledore once again began to talk but Harry didn't hear him. All his attention was on Kadidas who had a small grin and was looking at the hall with amusement. And before he knew it he was walking back up the familiar case of stairs to the Gryffindor common room.
He kept glancing over to Kadidas who was looking at the school amazed. Harry, Hermione and Ron decided to stay and talk in the common room for a couple of minutes trying to take their mind off all the events that had just occurred. They were in the middle of talking about when the first Quidditch match would be when Ron suddenly burst out to Hermione,"Hermione, what is it about Hermes Malfoy!?!" Hermione looked at Ron and then replied rather quietly ," He's a GullogTuff" Ron looked at Hermione weirdly and replied with a rather annoyed voice ," I know he's a hufflepuff, I was asking what you knew about him" Hermione replied now looking a little annoyed," Not hufflepuff, well he is a hufflepuff but anyways, I said a Gullogtuff. Hold on let me get something"
And she ran upstairs to the 5th year girls dorm obviously getting a book of some sort. When she came back, she had a book that looked as though it would of taken up half the space in his trunk! She told them that she had read this in the hospital wing when Madam Pompfry wouldn't let them visit.
She quickly turned to the book marked page and read ," H. Hufflepuff, one of the 4 supporters of Hogwarts, knew that Hufflepuff would need some glory so she made one out of every 894th hufflepuff a GullogTuff. A GullogTuff is supplied with enough power (even though it might not seem so) to do extraordinary events. H.HufflePuff thought that her plan would work but the spell combined with another to confuse it. Now a Gullogtuff's extraordinary powers were contained inside the Gullogtuff's blood, meaning that anyone who drank the blood of a GullogTuff's blood would be accompanied by magical strength and so on.
"The Gullogtuffs now risk their lives every minute and appear very small skinny and weak. Also the hair of a Gullogtuff turns blond also ,the GullogTuffs eyes turn yellow when blood is drunk. All GullogTuffs are in danger for dark wizards search for Gullogtuffs constantly , trying to get a hold of some of their blood which is extremely valuable". Harry thought about this silently. Could Hermes really be a GullogTuff? Was Hermes life really in danger? What did Kadidas do to the sorting Hat? Find out in the next chapter.
