Chapter 9

Draco's POV

BOOM!!!!

The Great Hall rocked as we took our seats. Finnigan had managed to sit on his now shattered wand, setting of a huge explosion that sent dust down from the enchanted ceiling, which showed us all a clear night with several stars. The perfect night.

Everything was beautiful when I looked at Hermione. My angel. My one and only.

Suddenly, Dumbledore stood up. McGonnagal tapped her goblet, and the hall fell silent.

"I am pleased to announce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Arabella Figg!"

I saw Potter look up in surprise. Oh well. No matter.

Back to the more pleasant matter. Hermione. She is my Aphrodite. My Venus. My Calypso. I vaguely heard Dumbledore say it was now time for the sorting ceremony. I was too engulfed in Hermione's beauty.

Ginny's PoV

Another feast alone. All four of my Welcoming Feasts, I've been alone. Nobody comes to say 'Hi, Ginny! Can I sit with you?' All the girls gather around Harry, and all the boys around Lavender and Parvati. Egad, why am I always alone? Even before I was discovered near dead in the Chamber of Secrets in my 1st year, I was alone.

"It is now time for the Sorting Ceremony to begin!" Dumbledore announced. I sighed. No one here would want to sit with me either. I'm alone. All alone.

I vaguely heard the first name being called. Once again, I hadn't heard the song.

Arulize, Sally!

A girl with long blonde hair that was in a tight braid went up to the sorting hat. When it was placed upon her head, it covered not only her head, but half her body as well.

RAVENCLAW!

Barsi, Judith!

I gasped as she went up. She was covered with cuts and bruises.

SLYTHERIN!

Bones, Laurel!

A girl who was very obviously Susan Bones's sister went up and placed the sorting hat on her mess of auburn hair.

GRYFFINDOR!

I cheered with the rest of the Gryffindors as Laurel sat down next to Seamus. WHY am I such a reject?

Carr, Kayty!

A black haired girl with a million freckles on her face went up and sat on the stool. McGonnagal placed the hat on her head and it cried out.

HUFFLEPUFF!

Cate, Molly!

A girl who was about 6' tall went up. She had short copper-colored hair and was extremely skinny.

SLYTHERIN!

Daly, Jack!

A plump boy who had a deep tan went up. I had to admit, he was kinda cute. He had the bluest eyes you had ever seen. If only.

SLYTHERIN!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Daly, Andy!

Oh boy, another chance! PLEASE GOD!

HUFFLEPUFF

JEEZ'M!!!

Dirk, Tyler!

I let out a soft wolf whistle. He was HOTT!

GRYFFINDOR!

YES!

Too bad. He's sitting next to Seamus, four seats down.

Evans, Ulysses!

Umm, ok, what's he doing. Picking his nose? EW!

RAVENCLAW!

He should be in Slytherin.he's as gross as Malfoy's cronies.

I dazed until.

Zaskria, Vlymeria! was called. A girl, about my height with black hair with blonde highlights went up. She had a bit of a hooked nose, but I won't hold it against her. She can't help it if she looks like Snape.

GRYFFINDOR!

She walked timidly over to me and asked.

"May I please sit here?"

I'M NOT A REJECT!

"Of course." I replied.

She sat down.

"My father is a professor here. Do you see him? I've been trying to spot him all evening," she said.

"Who is your father?"

"Severus Snape."

I gasped as I fell off my chair.

I woke up in the hospital wing. Turns out I hit my head harder than I thought.

"Are you all right, Miss Weasley? A voice above me asked. I realized it was Madame Pompfrey, the school nurse.

"Fine." I replied.

"Very well then, go to your dormitories now." the nurse replied. I got up and left, thanking her on the way out.

Mione's PoV

After the feast, Dumbledore asked for Draco and me to come up to his office at 9:30. He said he had a few things to talk to us about.

So, here I am, fretting over it. I hope its good news, like a new book that the school has to read. 1000 pages should be good enough for me.

Uh-oh. Its 9:15. Draco and I had better get moving.

OUTSIDE DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE

"Mione, do you know the password?" Draco asked me.

"Sorry." I replied.

"That's funny. I thought you knew everything." He retorted.

OK, that was uncalled for. And it was low. This guy really can rack my nerves sometimes.

Suddenly, Dumbledore came down.

"Follow me."

A/N: HAHAHA! Yup, I am leaving it off here. ~*runs as angry mob chases her*~ NO TOUCHY! HELP ME! OK, I'm good. Over and OOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT! HELP! amaryllis

Oh, wait a sec. Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead is from the Wizard of Oz by MGM. If I don't put that, I could be sued! Plus, my mom would probably kill me. OK, bye bye now. amaryllis

P.S. I'm not allowed on e-mail until the summer, so I guess I can't have a beta reader till then. Sorry.
