The Prophecy of the Phoenix- Chapter four.
The Sorting.
Walking into the great hall they walked toward there table. It was good to be back. "I can't believe Dumbledore didn't owl us when they caught wormtail" Harry said as he took his seat at the Gryffindor table. "I'm sure he had a good reason Harry, you now he wouldn't keep something like, this from you unless he had good reason." Hermione said matter a fact lee. "Your right Mione." Harry said.
They turned as they heard the doors open and watched as the new first years followed Professor McGonagall in the great hall. "Can you believe this is our last year, our last sorting?" Ron said smiling sadly. "I know I'm going to miss it." Hermione said sadly. "Oh gads do you remember Mione, you were so smug with information about the ceiling being enchanted." Harry laughed. "I was scared not smug so I did what I always do I talk about books." She said with hurt in her voice. "Oh Mione I'm just teasing you." Harry said putting his arm around her hugging her against him.
They don't notice the man at the head table glaring down at them." That's it Potter hug and reminisce while you can. Hug your friend; keep her close, for soon if Dumbledore is right we will all lose her." Unable to look at her any longer he turns his glaze back to the sorting trying to let it sink in that these feelings are nothing and they will pass as they have in the past. He so involved in his own fight with emotions he never notice Dumbledore's glaze. "Ah Severus I wish this was going to be easier on you my friend, on us all." He says sadly to himself.
The sorting came to and end, Ron, Hermione, Harry, Ginny, and Severus Snape all unaware of its ending all so wrapped up in there own emotions and fears. Dumbledore rising to give the beginning of the year announcements pulled them all back to the moment. "Yes welcome to all, Welcome back to Hogwarts. Please take note all first year the forbidden forest is off limits to all. We have a new Professor who will be arriving tomorrow, along with a returning Professor. They will both be teaching the Defense against the Dark arts classes. As to the rise of Voldemort we have and will continue to strive to teach you all how to survive in this world. You will find that the class will continue to be taught as past years and for those who would like advance class, they will be offered. That is why there will be two Professors. ". Dumbledore said smiling. With that he said "let the feast begin". Clapping his hands together once the food appeared and laughter filled the hall as the students merrily ate unaware of what was to come to pass.
The students all began telling stories and others chatted with the house ghost asking them how there summers had been. The sound was soft at first but soon the great hall was filled with a song. "Blimey whats that." Ron said looking all around. Noticing the look in Hermione eyes. Ron said." Mione, are you alright" he said with a frighten look on his face. Harry turned to his friends and notice her eyes were white, no longer there normal cinnamon brown. Before Harry could grab a hold of her she rose and moved away from the table. Walking towards the door of the great hall.
"Severus quickly go "Dumbledore said rising. Severus was half way down the stairs on the rise for the head table when he heard Dumbledore. Following Hermione as quickly as possible with out breaking the trance he followed her out of the great hall to the grounds. Harry, Ron and the others tried to follow but Dumbledore stopped them. "Don't worry she will be alright." He said, with that twinkle in his eyes. "Perfects at this time I ask you to take everyone to there house's, and do not worry your head girl will be fine." He called. With this Harry and the other prefect's begin to group there house up and headed from the hall.
"Ms. Granger, you must stop." Professor Snape calls. She doesn't stop but continues down the steps to be were Fawkes waits for her. The song so beautiful it fills her soul with such hunger and bliss at the same time. She reaches out to touch the phoenix and one of its tears falls on her out reached palm, running down to her wrist Collapsing onto the ground. Severus rushes to the girl and checks to see if she is breathing. "It has be gone" he hears and turns to see the Albus Dumbledore standing at the top of the stairs leading to the school tears falling down his face. Severus lifts his head up to the heavens as it begins to rain and screams with his soul."N....O...."
