Chapter Four: Ride Ends, Feast Begins
Looking around I discovered the two boys had fallen asleep with candy wrappers sprawled everywhere. Laughing, I thought to myself, 'Looks like they out ate themselves, I never believed it was possible.' I reached for my Journal, and Quill just when Ginny popper her head in. Ginny looked around rather surprised. First, staring at all the candy wrappers and her seventeen year-old brother sprawled across two chairs with chocolate smudges on his face. Then, at me leaning over Harry's lap to reach my Journal.
"Um.okay, well I just thought I'd tell you we'll be at Hogwarts soon, so you need to clean up.yeah," Ginny said still gapping, and then turned around and left. I laughed, and set to cleaning up, Muggle Style. Once I had gathered all the wrappers, I stacked them neatly in a pile, and chanted a spelled under my breath the wrappers disappeared instantaneously. "Gotta love magic," I said, then grabbed my Journal, Quill, and inkbottle.
I sucked at the tip of the Quill thinking of how to start off. When an idea came to me, I dipped the tip of the Quill into the Quill into the ink, and began:
Dear Diary,
We're almost at Hogwarts. Harry, and Ron are sleeping. Probably due to the immense amount of candy they ate. I had to clean up the mess, while feeling sorry and like I would laugh. You see, Ginny came into the compartment and was terrified when she saw it, Ron, and Harry. I bet that Ron will wake up saying he's hungry even though he ate so much. I wonder if he's ever not hungry, though. I didn't eat much because I knew the Feast was soon. But, that's not the only reason I didn't eat much.my very heart and soul are aching to know what Harry was about to say.
I stopped to dip my Quill in the ink once more, and then resumed writing:
Well, I just heard someone shout, "Five minutes till we reach Hogwarts, get ready to get off "The Hogwarts Express" quick," so I best stop writing. Hermoine.
I stood, and put my Journal, Quill, and inkbottle inside my suitcase, then grabbed a school robe, and tugged it on over my clothes. Turning around, I shouted, "Guys! Get up!" Thank goodness they were already dressed in their robes. "Mmh? What? Almost at Hogwarts!" Harry exclaimed, and stood up. Ron finally beginning to wake up, groaned and said, "Good, cause I'm starving," I could hear he's stomach growl as he said these words.
I tripped, and fell into Harry when the train stopped abruptly. He caught me, and with ease dragged me to my feet. I flushed as Ron said, "Come one guys, let's get going!" Well all began exiting the train to find that it was raining.no storming. Getting into one of the awaiting carriages quickly I spied all the frightened look First Years being hurried into boats by Hagrid.
After a few minutes of silent riding the carriage stopped swiftly in front of Hogwarts. I jumped out, and was closely followed by Harry, and Ron. As I was pelted by cold water I began running towards the flight of stairs. Reaching the top of the stairs, I hurled myself through the door, with Harry and Ron following my lead. Panting, we walked into the Grand Hall, and took our seats at the Gryffindor Table, surprised to find that we were the first students there.
As the Table's began filling up, I scanned the teacher's table for the new Defense Against The Dark Art's Professor. I continued looking for him all through the Sorting. I didn't see a new professor, though the spot simply stood empty along with Snape's seat, strange. Finally, Dumbledore walked into the loud room, accompanied by Professor Remus Lupin! Many gasps were heard from all tables except Slytherin, who just shot nasty glares at the two.
Professor Lupin took a seat, but Dumbledore remained standing, waiting for silence. "Ahem, Students I have three announcements. The first is to welcome back Professor Lupin. As some of you might remember, he taught here four years ago. Now, onto the next announcement, as some of you may notice, Professor Snape is away on a leave of absence he shall be back with in the month, but for the time being, Sirius Black, whose name was cleared last year due to the help of Harry, Hermoine, and Ron, shall be your Professor in Potions," at this everyone cheered in happiness that Snape would be gone for the month, all those except Slytherin, Dumbledore then resumed speaking, " And lastly, afterwards I would like to see the following: Ms. Granger, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Malfoy in my office. Now, let the feast begin!" and with a "pop" the table was covered in all sorts of delicious looking foods.
Ron dug in straight away, and began eating like a pig. Harry, and I ate rather timidly, though, to worried about the reason we were to meet with Dumbledore, later. "Guys, get ta eating. Don't vorry bout fings," Ron said through a mouthful of chicken. "Yeah, alright," I said and began eating. "Okay," Harry consented and ate fast.
Author's Note: I know these last two chapters are really strange, and it will all end up as part of the story, and a tie in!
