Chapter 7
The ride up to Hogwarts was silent. Logan looked out to see the castle that was emitting a fabulous glow against the starry night sky. She didn't seem to be impressed with the huge size of the castle, but she had seen it before so her gawking was over.
They entered the Great Hall filled with candles flying by magic. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Logan all took their seats at the Gryffindor, even though Logan almost sat at the Slytherin table before Harry and Ron directed her to the right one. Soon all the seats where taken on all the house tables. Harry looked at all the students he knew. There was his fellow Gryffindors that where catching up and getting acquainted with Logan. He spotted Draco Malfoy's pale pointed face sitting next to his cronies Crabbe and Goyle. Then he came to the Ravenclaw table and saw Cho Chang's grim face. 'She must still be trying to get over Cedric's death' Harry thought.
The great hall was now filled with students talking to friends about their summer holiday. Harry having nothing interesting to say looked up at the teachers.
Professor McGonagall's seat was empty for she was waiting to escort the first years to the Great Hall for the sorting ceremony. Hagrid's seat was also empty for he to was with the first years.
Harry caught the eye of this most hated teacher Professor Snape. Sitting next to him must be the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. It was a female, she and Snape where exchanging a few words to each other. The female professor looked tall, even though she was sitting down. Her eyes ((though hard to see from far away)) looked to be bright green like Harry's. Her hair was bright red ((which reminded him of the Weaslys)) long almost reaching her stomach and wavy, so wavy it looked curly but it wasn't curly.
Harry looked at Logan who was looking up at this new professor and was smiling, one of the things Logan did the least amount of times since Harry first meet her. Then he saw the professor look at Logan, and she to smiled.
At that time Professor McGonagall came into the Great Hall to see if everything was ready. The chatter ended and Professor McGonagall walked in with the first years behind her.
Logan saw Addy right away because she was in front. Addy was whispering and giggling to a boy next to her. He was almost a foot taller then Addy with dirty blonde hair that slightly fell over his gray eyes. Harry could tell Logan didn't like Addy socializing with a boy. But Logan couldn't do anything now so she just watched Addy carefully and made sure nothing happened.
Before Harry could realize it the Hat began:
"Hello New Students, and you old ones to you already know what I am about to do. You put me on your head and I will decide What house it is that will fit you right."
Harry heard Hermione asking Logan: "If you came to Hogwarts in the summer to be sorted how come you where surprised the Snape was a professor?'
Logan responded. "Teachers have better things to do during summer holidays, I only meet Dumbledore, Hagrid and Filch. They are the only people that stay during the summer."
"So Dumbledore didn't tell you about any of the teachers?" "Only McGonagall because she is the head of this house."
The sorting song was over and McGonagall began to call out the names of the new students. "Victoria Alexander." Was the first name called. "SLYTHERIN!" The sorting hat said.
"Matthew Anton." "RAVENCLAW!"
"Where's Addy?" Ron asked as Andrew Bellach was sorted into Slytherin. "She is next to that boy with the blonde hair in the front." Harry said. "How long is this going to take?" Logan asked during Jonathan Bloomfield sorting into Huffelpuff. "We have to wait until all the students are sorted." Harry said. Logan moaned and Rodney Davie joined them at the Gryffindor table.
There weren't many names to be called now before Addy. Lazara Ehrens, a rich looking girl got sorted into Slytherin and when she was walking up to get sorted Addy narrowed her eyes and tripped. Addy and the boy next to her laughed before catching a glace from Professor McGonagall. "Addy Figg." Addy stepped up and walked towards the stool. Logan was clutching the table so hard she was about to break it. It didn't take very long before it shouted. "GRYFFINDOR!" And Logan broke off the piece from the table. Harry moved over so Addy could sit next to him and Logan. "Welcome Addy!" Harry said. "Thanks." She said smiling that great wide smile of hers. "Good job Addy." Logan said. "I didn't even have to do anything." They watched the rest of the sorting. When the boy with dirty blonde hair and gray eyes was called. "Gavin Robbins." Addy crossed her fingers that he would be sorted into Gryffindor with her. He sat on the stool as Addy did. Professor McGonagall placed the sorting hat on his head. Immediately it said, "SLYTHERIN!" Gavin frowned as he looked at Addy who frowned also. Logan looked wide eyed as she watched the boy sit down at Slytherin table and put his shoulder on the table and his hand on his cheek. "It's almost the same as.only the opposite house." Harry heard her mutter but he couldn't hear what she said next. Logan turned to Addy. "Are you friends with this Gavin?" "Yeah. We were on the same boat and we started talking. He's my new friend.but he's in Slytherin." Addy said.
"Oh yes, don't worry I'm sure your friendship will work out with each other." Logan said even though she didn't like the idea of Addy having a friend who was a boy.
After the ceremony Dumbledore spoke to all the students: "Welcome back welcome back. I hope you all had a safe holiday. I also hope some recent events haven't frightened you. You are all safe at Hogwarts." He clapped his hands together. "On a lighter note, joining us on our staff as the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. Her name is Professor Morgan." He gestured to the red head sitting next to Snape. She nodded and smiled at the students sitting at their house tables. "And first years note, the Dark Forest is strictly forbidden." Dumbledore said. "Now let the feast begin!"
The wood tables where now covered with magnificent golden plates and utensils. There were bowls and plates filled with scrumptious and delicious foods for the students to eat.
"Boy did I miss this food." Ron said. "Yup, and now we are in for a whole year of it again!"
