Harry Potter and the Curse of the Phoenix

Ch2.

Note: We wrote the first chapter to convey confusion and the fact that Harry is in a very difficult position.

Disclsaimer: (read the first chapter)



Harry stood in front of Dumbledore, speechless. Realizing that he was expected to answer, he nervously cleared his throat. "I...ah," Looking around he saw Snape with an expression of "SPIT IT OUT!" similar to the look when he was asked a question in potions. "I... accept." He heard a collective gasp from several of the witches and wizards. Harry saw, for the first time, a great weariness in the old headmaster's eyes. When he finally spoke, it didn't have the warmth his voice usually did. "Harry Potter, despite my efforts, and our votes, the Phoenix has chosen you. I may know why, but you cannot until this is over. If Voldemort ever found out, you would be in a greater peril than the rest of the world. Harry, you have beaten the odds many times, and now you must do so again. This time however, the odds will not be so difficult to beat." Harry hadn't noticed as Dumbledore was speaking, that the chamber was empty. He led Harry to the far wall and placed his palm on a slight depression. A golden light glowed under his hand, and a Phoenix rune appeared on the wall.

"Harry, being Lord Phoenix will require you to live in a private chamber, here actually." Harry, couldn't understand what Dumbledore was saying. "Harry, you are now one of the most powerful wizards in the world. You are the leader of the most powerful organization in the world. You will need protection until you can learn to control your powers. I can help with that." Harry still didn't understand.

After weeks and weeks of training to control his new powers, Sept.1 rolled around and Harry was asked to attend the sorting ceremony as the Sorting hat's guard.

(Please review about the song!)

The world inside your mind is dark,
Yet You know I can show you all,
Whether your arm will bear the mark,
or in battle stand quite tall.
You see I choose your homes for you,
to save you a bit of stress,
you'll need a cool head for class

To soar above the rest!
If your heart is brave and true,
and not afraid of peril,
Then Gryffindor is right for you!
Or if 'tis glory that you seek.
Afraid not of the means to gain,
Slytherin isn't for the meek.
For those of you who toil,
and aren't afraid of work,
perhaps tis Hufflepuff you seek
And last, but not least,
if brains are above the brawn,
Then Ravenclaw is the place,
for you to waken in the morn,
So put me on your heads and see...
What thy house shall be for thee!

Dumbledore nodded at Harry, who conjured a scroll from thin air.
Pointing his wand at his throat, he muttered, "Sonorus."
Magically magnified, Harry addressed the first years. "When I call your name, please come forward and sit on the stool. After the hat has chosen your house you will be seated at the corresponding table."

"Abbot, Jhon!"
"Hufflepuff!"

"Bernardt, Mikal!"
"Gryffindore!"

"Deccard, Marcus!"
"Gryffindore!"

In the end ,the total count was Slytherin, 4 new students. Gryffindore, 5. Hufflepuff.2.Ravenclaw,3.

Dumbledore rose from his place at the high table saying: "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. The start of term announcements are as thus: Forbidden Forest is, as the name suggests, is forbidden, Mr. Filch, the caretaker wishes me to inform you that he will have a new apprentice this year, named Ford who isn't as lenient as he is. I would also like to state that the school is playing host the Order of the Phoenix. The current Lord Phoenix is none other than your classmate, Harry Potter.
