A Story Untold part 11


Harry laid back, and closed his eyes. He was very happy on many levels. He was going back to Hogwarts, Draco was upset, and he was about to see Sirius again. It was the last thing that they all talked about, about how he was going to work without the students knowing, and how often would they see him. This was all interrupted when Draco burst the door open, with all the hatred and malice stored in him, and he was looking for someone to take it out on. This time, Crabbe and goyle were not present.

Draco turned to the one whom he loved to pick on most. Ron. " So Weasley, has your dad finally got more than two dollars, or is he still working an awful job long hours, and still barley getting paid?" Hermionie had to restrain Ron from lunging at Draco, but told him to leave them alone. "Well, if it isn't the mud blood" Draco sneered. Then, his voice went suddenly several octaves lower. "I would watch out if I were you. The Dark lord is back, and he is out to get Mud Bloods like you. You better watch your self, cause you never know when something might happen to you."

Harry was in the middle of making a comment about Draco's dad, and Draco was almost about to go at Harry, when who other than Lupin should walk through the door. "Is there a problem here, Mr. Malfoy?" Lupin asked, obviously humorously, winking to Harry. "Unless there is a problem, please leave Harry alone here. Oh, and, didn't I just see your owl fly out the window?" At this, Draco stormed off to the Laughter of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, while Lupin just stood there smiling. "Sorry, I couldn't resist. So how are you? Tell me about your summers"

Harry, with help from Ron and Hermione, went into a long story of what happened. Lupin, although interested, seemed hardly surprised, shocked, or anything else that would suggest that this was a big thing. He was interested in what Sirius had to say, and also about Ron's injury. After nearly a half an hour of talking, and telling of the story, the food cart arrived in. Harry bought a some chocolate frogs, and some every flavor beans, and shared them with everyone. Ron accepted his, but said he would pay Harry back, as he was always very uncomfortable about taking things from Harry that he knew Harry paid for.

After a long while, Lupin stood up and said that he had to go up front, and that they were almost at Hogwarts. They went to go change into their robes, and by the time they came out, they had about ten minutes to spare. Suddenly, their compartment door opened, and a girl their age, with long, black hair, and blue eyes walked in. She introduced herself as Julia, and that she was a fifth year, who's family moved from the USA because her dad got a job in the ministry of magic, so she would be attending school at Hogwarts. She then shook their hands, Hermione and Harry smiled, but Ron was just dumbfounded. She then left saying she wanted to meet everyone else, but she would talk to them later. Ron looked at her as she left. Harry and Hermionie looked at each other and laughed. "Well, this one isn't a Vela."

The train pulled up to the station, and everyone got out. Harry, when he first got out, saw Hagrid, who waved to Harry and said to stop by his hut some time to talk. Then Hagrid called all of the trembling first years to him, and they were on their way, sailing across the calm lake, while everyone else took the carriages. The ride was relatively short, and for the first time since his forth year, Harry stepped into Hogwarts Castle. He and Ron and Hermionie made there way to the great hall for dinner and the sorting, when Professor Mc. Gonagall stepped in front of them, and informed Harry that he was to stay behind after dinner.

Harry nor anyone else had any idea why he would need to stay behind, but there was no use worrying, so they hurried their way to the great hall, passed the glaring eyes of the slytherins, the smiles and waves of the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws, and finally settled down and the Griffindor table, next to Fred and George. Everyone was talking noisily, when Dumbledore stood up, and placed the sorting hat into the center of the room. Silence swept over the Great Hall, as the hat broke into its song, which got much applause, mostly from the first years, whom where very impressed.

Professor Mc. Gonagall stepped up, and started calling names of students. By the time they were at the M's, no one yet had gone to the slytherin table, and in fact, only ten new students were chosen for slytherin. At last, they came to Julia. Ron crossed his fingers that she would be in griffindor, but was disappointed to hear the hat say Ravenclaw. Ron sighed, but then stopped like everyone else, as Dumbledore stood up for his speech

"Welcome everyone to a new year here at hogwarts. I hope the first years are comfortable, and please, all the rest off you, be helpful. Once again, only third years and above may visit Hogsmeade. Quidditch will be back on this season…" Dumbledore had to stop here, as the whole great hall broke into applause and cheers. It took nearly ten minutes to calm everyone down, and Fred and George were cheering the longest. " thank you Fred and George. However, in the middle of the year, fifth years and up may participate in a mini dueling tournament, which you will all find out about later. Also, we will have another dance similar to the Yule Ball in the middle of the year. And finally, Filtch has requested that exploding chess be banned from the castle. That is all, and enjoy your feast."

Dumbledore sat down to applause, and there was a great scraping of chairs, as everyone sat down to eat. Harry was famished, and he loaded chicken and mashed potatoes onto his plate. Everyone ate and conversed for nearly an hour, when Dumbledore stood up, and asked everyone to make their way to their common rooms and to go to bed. Ron and Hermionie said goodbye to Harry, who waited twenty minutes for everyone to leave the great hall. Only he and Dumbledore was left, or so he thought. "Harry" Dumbledore said, " Somebody wants to meet you." From the next room came out Sirius Black.



Well, this is a lot longer than usual for me, so I hoped you liked it. Vote for whom goes to the dance with whom. Please, r/r
