The Summary: .......
The Rising
I felt my throat tighten into a tight knot as Professor McGonagall finished reading the last of the first-years' names.
"Now, there are two transfer students who will be attending Hogwarts from now on.....James Black and Jay Sikem"
Murmurs and loud voices suddenly seized the Great Hall, ("Sikem? Isn't that the Beater of England-", "Woah!") I glanced at Jay, who was very much turning pink. Something flickered in the corner of my eye, I looked up at the teacher's table. There, a great dog sat next to the teacher, Hagrid, its tongue out, its tail waving. My eye caught something else, a nasty-looking professor, greasy hair, sallow skin, he was looking at me, something in his black coal eyes,....- something more like anger or...(I shook my head)....hatred?
"They will be sorted, also-" Professor McGonagall briefly spoke.
"Black, James"
I looked up, my eyes wide. "Good luck, see you in Gryffindor!" Jay grinned at me pounding my fragile, about-to-break back.
I marched awkwardly, and sat on the stool. I slowly plopped the Sorting Hat on my head and waited.....
Hmmm, courage, bravery, an easy choice a tiny voice spoke in my head, surprising me. Loyalty, Cunning, Humor, ahhh a natural cleverness? Where should I put you- my eyes automatically drifted to the Gryffindor table.
Gryffindor? the hat chuckled James Black, of course, I will put you in-
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat hollered, my pounding heart slowing.
I grinned, and ran towards my table, stopping to hear the whole school roaring with laughter. "What?" I was confused, happy, and feeling silly at the same time.
One of the red-haired twins of Gryffindor pointed to his head. I reached for my head,
"Ahhh" I grinned. I had forgotten to give back the hat, it was still on my head.
Grinning broadly, I walked haughtily back, gave a deep bow of apology to Professor McGonagall, who swiped the hat off my head with a stern look. I sprinted back.
"Sikem, Jay" Professor McGonagall silenced the Great Hall.
Jay who had obviously fell down in laughter, straightened himself and looked a wee bit green.
Watching Jay stuggle with the hat, I felt sorry for the guy, his face pale, his eyes shut, and his mouth, mouthing words silently...-
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat bellowed.
The whole table exploded, the red-haired twins jumping on top of the table hollering, and I, myself, pounding the table.
"I did it! Oh yea!" Jay shouted above the cheering, his face red from screaming.
The old man named Albus Dumbledore, stood up his blue eyes amused. "Now, now may I remind you, because of something that has happened teachers will now be more careful monitoring and supervising you." His eyes twinkled at Jay, who pretended to die of hunger.
"Let the Feast begin"
Magically the food appeared on our golden dishes, Jay whistled, "I think, I'm gonna like it here in Hogwarts-"
"Hear, hear!" I loudly shouted, holding the golden cup of pumpkin juice.
***
I was tired, my back aching, my arms sore. It was eight p.m., ten more minutes until class started. After waking Jay up by accidently stepping on his face, Jay got unusually cranky.
"What were you doing on the floor sleeping?" "Probably fell, while sleeping" Jay muttered his face reddening.
Shrugging, I silently took the parchment of schedules and read it out loud;
"Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall."
"Don't tell me we're gonna have our first class with that old hag" Jay complained, slowly getting up.
"Quit complaining, we are going to be late-we only have about- oh- five minutes!" I grumbled, changing my clothes, "Don't look"
Jay snorted, "Like I want to- and we aren't the only ones late you know, look, the Gryffindor is asleep!" I frowned, sure enough, the whole Gryffindor was asleep, not one of them awake.
Suddenly Jay grinned, his eyes brightened, "Why don't we just-" I couldn't resist, "wake them up?"
***
Jay gasped after me, as we both fled. We ducked as a flying slipper shot out through the air.
"Geez, people these days have no sense of humor" I muttered sprinting out of the common room and into the corridors.
"Didn't realize they'd get so angry- I mean, they HAD to wake up some time" Jay mumbled grasping his wand, just in case.
"We are officially late" I stated, staring at my watch, "Eight-thirty"
"Don't worry, we aren't the only ones"
***
I liked it pretty much in all my classes so far, it was fun joking around with Jay, learning new spells and stuff. I could tell it was much better here than The School of Wizardry. Transfiguration had been interesting and better than expected. I think I was getting used to Professor McGonagall's barks.
"Whatta we have next?" I yawned as we trudged to our dormitory.
"Potions" Jay excitedly whispered, "I was always into Potions, can't wait!"
"Can't wait to be killed?"
I whirled around to see a small flaming red-haired girl, "Who are you?"
"That's not a polite thing to say dear James-" Jay said "Oh my apologies dear lady, may I kindly ask for your name?" I bowed in the most gentleman-ish way I could.
The girl blushed, "Ginny Weasley"
"A Weasley! Why, I can tell m'lady that you are indeed a fair lady, judging from your family. I believe you have a wonderful family, may I state only one oddball which happens to be your brother Percy" Jay shook her hand in delight, pushing me away.
"You guys remind me of the twins!" Ginny mumbled her eyes dancing with laughter.
"Thank you, what a compliment to compare us with the greatest pranksters of all time! I do not know what to say!" Jay exclaimed.
I grinned, "Then don't say anything."
Ginny laughed, "I just overheard you two getting all enthusiastic about Potions, well don't expect anything." Ginny paused hesitantly her laughter dying, "Actually expect the worse."
"You're a fourth year Gryffindor like us!" I realized, recognizing her face from Herbology.
"No!" Jay mockingly, incredulously shouted.
"I am" Ginny stated, "And we better hurry to Potions before Snape kills us"
Assuming "Snape" was the professor, I nodded, "Yea its getting late."
