Albus Dumbledore smiled and cleared his throat placing a polite hand in front of his face, 'Now then here are the names of the new students, PLUS the new ones that shall be attending this school for the remainder of their education! Here we go in first name alphabetical order-'

As Albus finished the list a few people were muttering, 'Heard of that Amerally chap, few years back his-well I think-father was here a while back now' that was Flitwick, whilst others were commenting on 'How do we pronounce THAT name?' Snape however just sneered, 'So you mean to tell me that I am ALSO going to be teaching these 'extra puilsss?' he seethed angrilly but was intercepted before he could vent his anger fully. 'YOU aren't the only one that is doing the teaching Severus, *we* all are going to have to accept the changes and please give the kids some leeway,' Sirius Black cut in swiftly, it seemed to silence Snape who 'hmphed!' and turned his head away.
Dumbledore opened another Sherbert lemon and sucked it thoughtfully as the teachers began to talk once again amoungst themselves, 'What time will they be getting here Albus? I need to notify the other students of when they will need to enter the hall,' McGonagull said swiftly, she always made a point of draining an exercise of *all* the information, 'Ah yes my dear, a teacher from their old school will be joining us shortly, he will remain here for a week or so to help settle the children since they will be scared at first-' a knock at the door interrupted his sentence, 'Ah there he is I believe-Come in!' As he said this a man popped his head around the door, it had a sandy colour to it and was highlighted brown slightly, it showed off his mousey-brown eyes perfectly as they shone with anticipation.
'Ah Mr Tilson has arrived! Hello Paul, we have just finished the list of names, please do join us.' Mr Tilson was a tall wiry man and looked very worn even though he was only 34 or so, 'No thankyou Headmaster, the pupils will be here soon and I think it best we all be there once they arrive-' Dumbledore smiled at the man's quick-business-like tone, 'Very well Paul, but please take a Sherbert lemon before we go, wont you?'
*********************************************************************
The group from Strethscope had arrived on the boats that the first years used, of course with the aid of Hagrid, the conversations had been limited because everyone had been bribed to be on their 'best' behaviour from Mr Alan Smith, a mean man with coal-black hair, coal-black eyes and a coal- black personality to boot! Smith had promised them all 10 pounds if they succeeded-he neglected to tell them pounds were NOT the currency in Hogwarts and would be useless. Even 'with' this warning a heated conversation was loud enough to be heard across the vast ripples of the water-
'Smeg-head!' that was Katania Ella Morri who had been watching too many re- runs of 'Red Dwarf,' a muggle comedy programme. She was a medium sized, and from we could tell blonde haired girl becasue her hat covered most of it, she also came equipped with a pair of ice-blue eyes. She now was puffed with pride as her 'attacker' turned into the one *being* 'attacked!' She was a spritely young girl with a loud mouth and even louder attitude! She had her finger pointed at someone and was viciously spouting out insults to annoy him after he had said she was a 'chicken-wuss' for being freaked about Hagrid, 'Yeah well Smeg-head THIS!' a finger was stuck up by Marco Michio as they now arrived at the banks to get to Hogwarts.
As they trudged towards the castle Hagrid identified himself at the doors,as they opened Hagrid and the belittled students walked through. The Strethscope kids were all bug-eyed and murmmering. 'S'not like the old school eh?' one boy with short black hair murmered to another lad with a ponytail to keep his silver/white hair out of the way, the lad just nodded in reply. 'Now you lot'll be staying 'ere whilst I go tell the'r Professor's and the 'eadmaster that you are 'ere. NO getting lost a'right? A'right.' Hagrid answered himself as the students before him all looked wide-eyed at his massive frame, he nodded to them and raced off in a direction.
'Holy shit man! You see that guy? Hell!' a girl snickered next to Androstle Amerally who was gobsmacked at the Giant, he had silver/white hair and an 'unreal' look about him, like he came straight out of a movie or something, lots of people said that he reminded them of 'Sephiroth' off Final Fantasy 7, a muggle game no-less. His wide blue eyes were now focused on an empty corridor as Hagrid had fled down it, he yawned and stretched, smacking the kid next to him on the head, 'Sorry 'V' mate.' Androstle looked sheepish as the small red-haired girl shook her fists at him after rubbing her sore head.
Everyone stood around boredly and some were even playing cards on the floor which they had snuck into their rucksacks, while their other bags were already here and awaited them in the great hall-wherever that was! Most of them just looked fed-up, a small group of three kids were sitting around a girl with black hair as she told them all she knew about Hogwarts, 'I tell yah man, I heard about this place it's got well weird staff an' shit, I mean look at that guy we came with! DAMN scary straight up!' Someone gave her a sharp nudge and told her to hush as Hagrid came back for them 15 minutes later.
'Well,' he started red-face from the run, 'They are awaiting your arrival, JUST the teachers are there at the moment so it'll be best if you lot went to see them first to be introduced-now off yer go.' he nodded and wished them 'Good luck' and left them! Kids all around started to pack their bags and muttered-
'WHAT is he mental? Where the heck ARE we going?!'
'He probably thinks we were already updated on where everything in the school is.'
'What I'd GIVE for a map!'
'Oh no Kat's on a mission!'
'C'mooon! Lets go-see!'
Wide-eyed and astonished the Strethscope students meandered a little way off from the front door where Hagrid had left them as Kat ran through an archway , 'Koolie's!' screeched one of them happily, it was a girl with Short dirty blonde hair, brown eyes, and a HUGE grin on her face. She was about 5"3', and looked well for her age, which *had* to be about 16 or 17. 'LOOK at this place!' she twirled around gazing at the ceiling, a number of 'Ooooh's' and 'Aaaah's' were heard as they gazed at the starlit sight above them
'Hey Sarah get a load of this, if you think *that's* cool your gonna LOVE this!' as a boy from the back shouted her name, the girl now known as Sarah Teer whipped around, one of her earring's, amoungst the 4 she had, seemed to catch the light more than others, she had worn this earring for *years* now and it had found it's home in her ear along with another earring. She always has a hoop with a dragon fang hanging off her right ear. She watched as Nick pointed excitedly at a painting of two unicorns attacking each- other with their horns, fighting for dominance over a smaller female, the pictures were actually moving.
Sarah rolled her eyes, ~Figures~ she thought, ~ANYTHING to do with getting killed or a dangerous sport and he's there like a shot!~ she surveyed him with a grin, Short brown hair, blue eyes and slightly overweight frame. All of these assets were put together on a 6 foot tall boy currently wearing Camaflouge pants and a black shirt that says "Extreme is not a mood, it's a lifestyle." Nick was an orphen-or so people say-he was found on the streets in Detroit, no-one knows why he came to Strethscope from all the way over there but then he says, 'It's all hush hush,' most people think he's in a revolving James Bond movie. Even though people talked to him, no-one could say they were his 'friend' even though he was Cheerful and energetic, but most of the time those were cancelled out by his 'sometimes-he-doesn't-know-when-to-quit annoying' stages. He was all-in-all a smart-ass, being one of the students that got into more than 15 fights at Strethscope he wore that knowledge with pride while others just shook their heads dissaprovingly.
Called back from her revieries by a sharp, 'AAAH!' from behind her, Srah whipped around and watched as a girl with shoulder-length mahogany hair that glinted with her applied silver strips in it jumped backwards whilst uttering the screech. She was about 5'5 and had glinting silver eyes. She was well-built and looked like the sort that didn't normally scare easilly- Riley had been kicking a wall surepticiously because her 'sword' was unallowed at Hogwarts, she did still have her dagger in her case, but that would probably be taken away aswell. After she had kicked the wall about 5 times a white head had appeared from the wall and that was why she let out an uncharacteristic screech!
'Huh? YOU lot aren't firsties! WHERE are the firsties?!' The ghost had pulled itself out of the wall and now was seemingly downcast the spiteful spook lowered itself to the floor, until it's legs were missing! 'But,' it said looking happier, 'You are still *new* and need to be taught a lesson!' he sniggered evilly, this was Peeves the Poltergeist! 'WHAT the heck are you talking about?' Marco ordered, this seemed to bring more mirth from the Potty Poltergeist and it started to sing a song!
Teachers and Kiddies all beware!
Peeves is creeping under your stair.
Looking on you while you eat,
Or in your beds whilst your asleep.
Peeves is a Poltergeist that is true,
He can do more than most spooks do.
He goes along twirling round and round,
Picking objects from the ground,
Peeves sends you to that Witchy-Med,
After he smacks you on the head!
He punctuated this by dropping a cane on Marco's *own* head! The new ghost naed Peves left them cackling insanely, 'Oh what fun! Don't worry I'll be baaack!' he dissapeared into a disgusted looking painting-but not before he pulled a face at the Strethscope lot. 'Mental...that ghost rocks!' Kat punched the air as Marco rubbed his head, 'Your *only* saying that 'cause it managed to wallop me one!' Kat grinned, 'Yeah? I'm not ashamed to admit that! Hehe!' she said proudly. Kalo immediately broke into the fight by saying, 'Ok guys cool it, we still gotta FIND the hall yet!' Kalo Malo was one of the sensible members of the Strethscope group and tried to keep things in line and reinstall order when it was needed-and *now* was that time! He suggested that they take the right corridor because he had seen Hagrid do so, everyone did their own versions of shrugs and moved towards that direction.
*********************************************************************
In the great hall, all alone stood a Mr Alan Smith, he was in his mid- forties but at times he could look older-like when he was shouting! His dark eyes peircing as he stood crossed-armed awaiting the arrival of the teachers and the students, ~If they didn't do as I said to then there will be hell to pay!~ he smirked darkly as he thought of the talk he had had with them all before-hand.
Most people thought he lived *solely* to irritate students and make them cry, he however didn't-no, his aim was far greater, he wanted to expel a Miss Morri and forget she had ever existed! He raised his head as the hall doors opened and in spilled the teachers, along with Paul Tilson. Smith's views on Tilson were few and far-between, he believed it was molly-coddling teachers like Tilson that made all these 'rebellious' teenagers, clearly he couldn't remember being a teenager himself!
*********************************************************************
Katania and Kalo were lagging behind,as per usual, well Kalo just tended to 'lag' because if he didn't Kat would surely get into trouble or get lost! She was talking heatedly about the Quiddich pitch they had here, 'TWICE the size of ours 'lo! AND there are some mean kids here too so the competition should be fierce!' as she said this Kalo could have sworn he heard Nick laugh manically up front, In a game of Quidditch, he would jump off his broom and on to another person's just to punch him a few times-such a charming young man really! Although the guys of the group looked upon him as the brick of the group Kalo shook his head and thought he had been *hit* by a brick as a kid!He looked along the people that he knew as his 'friends' whilst Kat rambled on to herself.
As she talked Kat adjusted her hat, she loved her hat and practically LIVED in the thing! Some rumours were she actually SLEPT in the thing! It was a jester-type hat, purple in colour and matched her baggy trousers. She had a skinny-fit top on that was magically created to create words that changed on the front of it, now it read 'Death to all whom oppose me' when before it read, 'Kiss it!' She sighed and finally got her hat into right position, as she looked down she noticed that her shoelaces were untied adn read to be tripped over!
Kalo shook his head and carried on with his survey and came to rest on the current leader of the group who was laughing with Virgo up front, China Johnson. China was medium in height and had long brownish blonde hair that came down to her waist were it was tied loosely at the near bottom of her hair with a red ribbon. She had sparkling blue eyes that seemed to warm with the conversation as she chattered to Virgo happily, she was slim, her tight black shirt showed off her slim waist while her baggy jeans swept around her as she walked down the seemingly endless corridor.
Kalo was quickly pulled from his observations as he realised Kat was not by his side as she had been before, she was bent down undoing her shoelaces and REdoing them, even though fashion was to not have any OR tuck them in she preferred not to have to shuffle to keep her shoes on, as she did the left laces up her hat fell off her head, short blonde hair fluffed out with purple streaks in it, she grumbled and finished lacing the shoe she was doing before going to snatch her hat off the floor, 'Come ON Katania! Were losing the others!' Kalo snapped as she went to reach her hat-and it MOVED! Kat frowned angrilly, 'What the hell's goin' on man?' she stood up and attempted to place her foot on her hat, it lifted into the air this time! She tried to jump and catch it but it had raised over her head, she watched as a spectral hand materialized clutching her hat, then the rest of the body shortly followed-it was Peeves again!
'Told you I would be back! You are better to tease than a silly firstie!' he laughed evilly and stuck his tongue out as Kat raced after his fleeing figure, 'Come BACK here with my hat you no good piece of crap!' as she raced she forgot that her right shoelace was still untied and she fell face first onto the marble floor. Kalo ran up to her to help, he helped her up and she pulled her shoes off completely! 'Kaaat?' Kalo looked worriedly at his friend, 'I'm gonna kick ass! You wanna play ball ghost! You GOT it!' Peeves squealed in delight as Kat resumed her chase now with her shoes above her head clutched tightly in her fists like miniature clubs, shouting a battle cry and with a frantic Kalo behind her she set off again.
************************************************************
Not realising that they were now two members short the rest of the Strethscope students carried on towards the direction indicated by a friendly painting of a man and a woman on a bench in mid summer. They reached the hall not long after being directed and they all pushed open the doors, as they piled into the hall they glanced at the decorations and gasped! There were 'welcome students' signs and lots of party decorations everywhere! It looked like this place wasn't so bad after all, unknowingly they had stopped a few feet into the hall and now were beckoned to 'Continue walking this way smalls' by a smiling Mr Tilson, 'Smalls' was an affectionate term he used because he had once said, 'Your small now but you wait! You guys are going to be bigger than me!' at 6 foot Mr Tilson had thought his place as tallest amoungst them was safe-until they reached 16! Now some of them were either a little shorter or LEVEL with him.
'This bites-where is everyone?' Andros looked around aggravated as they carried on towards the teachers that were now standing behind a table, 'I wanna see the geeza's and gita's we have to work with.' (A/N: Androstle really DOES talk like this.)
'Mr Spliff said that they would be along after we were sorted I think' Sarah P said, Mr Spliff was what they all called Mr Smith-as they thought a good smoke would do him good and help them to be free of his strict critisism.
'Whoa look man! There's another ghost!'
'Nah mate, that's a geezer! A professor!'
'He's the Professor Snape that thingie-bob warned us about!'
'Thingie-bob? Oh you mean that prefect geezers that visited us to explain about Hogwarts?'
'Yeah! He is the potions master!'
The attention was again changed as they all reached the table, there was a really old looking wizard with a tall hat on that was bent speaking heatedly to a crumpled thing on a chair, it looked as if it was a-
'Hey man it's a talking 'at-Hell!'
'Where?! Lemme see!'
'THIS place IS freaky!'
Mr Smith's face twitched slightly as he could hear these things being murmered, 'Miss Carney, Miss Goldmoon and Mr Amerally...DO YOU WANT TO BE QUIET?!' he fumed, they would have replied, *No but YOU want us to be quiet* if he hadn't looked like he would kill them! They just meekly nodded and shut up. They were all told that the 'freaky hat' was actually called the sorting hat, it creased a grin between two folds of itself and began to sing (Oh no not ANOTHER Peeves!)
**INSERT USUAL FIRST YEAR HAT SONG**
Everyone tuned out but still looked at the hat, they were astonished! When the sorting hat came to the end of it's rhyme, and held out for applause-none came. 'Um...people, this is were you guys clap!' Mr Smith said embaressed, 'Man that 'at is off it's 'ed! Hey quite literally aswell- Hehehe!' a chorus of giggles ensued after this statement but everyone clapped out of the transfer group non-the-less, the girl that made the comment was near the back, it had come from Virgo Viconti. 'Now then,' Professor McGonagull started, 'we shall have to prepare for the new rooms and the new house to be put together so for now everyone that is a transfer student will be put temporarilly into one of the four houses-' 'STOP! Were missing two students!' Mr Tilson interrupted after he had been counting them all and putting names to faces whilst the hat had sung on.
'What are their names and I will hold until they come,' Professor McGonagull stated quite calmly, 'They are Miss Katania Ella Morri and Mr Kalo Amerelius Malo,' At the names Mr Smith smacked his forehead and groaned whilst Mr Tilson looked amused, 'NOT Morri! WHY couldn't it have been someone else?! Alright we'll find them and bring them here but I tell you that girl-' he was cut off as the hall doors slammed open once again, 'Hiiiya! Did'ja miss me huh? YO MR *T*!' A girl rushed from outside the hall, a young man in tow, whom was muttering excuses, 'Sorry Mr Tilson, Mr Smith we got held up, a slight...erm...technical difficulty, myself and Kat are really sorry if we caused any untoward strain.' he was extremely well- spoken and had wind-swept blond/brown hair, he was quite attractive and many of the girls gushed.
'It's ok 'lo, I'm sure Mr T is just glad we got here on time...errr...you guys aint finished are you?' the girl had a drawl which was full of humour. Her head *just* reached the boys shoulders but she was the more dominant of the two, you could tell from the way she was dragging poor Kalo towards the group. 'Morri! Malo! Get up here-NOOOW!' Mr Smith was furious as the two came towards him, he looked like he would burst a vessel! 'Whoa soz!' he looked menacing as she started, 'We didn't MEAN to be late, it's just this ghost had my-' Mr Smith roared, 'I don't CARE!You two just join the group and I'll deal with you *personally* later on!' As Kalo and Katania crept into the group a voice whispered, 'Kat you are *SO* busted!' China said and grinned at her playfully, 'Shush CJ you wanna get our butts grilled on the first day?!' was her only reply.
TBC!!!MUCH MORE TO COME!

'Hey Sarah get a load of this, if you think *that's* cool your gonna LOVE this!' as a boy from the back shouted her name, the girl now known as Sarah Teer whipped around, one of her earring's, amoungst the 4 she had, seemed to catch the light more than others, she had worn this earring for *years* now and it had found it's home in her ear along with another earring. She always has a hoop with a dragon fang hanging off her right ear. She watched as Nick pointed excitedly at a painting of two unicorns attacking each- other with their horns, fighting for dominance over a smaller female, the pictures were actually moving.
Sarah rolled her eyes, ~Figures~ she thought, ~ANYTHING to do with getting killed or a dangerous sport and he's there like a shot!~ she surveyed him with a grin, Short brown hair, blue eyes and slightly overweight frame. All of these assets were put together on a 6 foot tall boy currently wearing Camaflouge pants and a black shirt that says "Extreme is not a mood, it's a lifestyle."

She was well-built and looked like the sort that didn't normally scare easilly- Riley had been kicking a wall surepticiously because her 'sword' was unallowed at Hogwarts, she did still have her dagger in her case, but that would probably be taken away aswell. After she had kicked the wall about 5 times a white head had appeared from the wall and that was why she let out an uncharacteristic screech!
'Huh? YOU lot aren't firsties! WHERE are the firsties?!' The ghost had pulled itself out of the wall and now was seemingly downcast the spiteful spook lowered itself to the floor, until it's legs were missing! 'But,' it said looking happier, 'You are still *new* and need to be taught a lesson!' he sniggered evilly, this was Peeves the Poltergeist! 'WHAT the heck are you talking about?' Marco ordered, this seemed to bring more mirth from the Potty Poltergeist and it started to sing a song!
Teachers and Kiddies all beware!
Peeves is creeping under your stair.
Looking on you while you eat,
Or in your beds whilst your asleep.
Peeves is a Poltergeist that is true,
He can do more than most spooks do.
He goes along twirling round and round,
Picking objects from the ground,
Peeves sends you to that Witchy-Med,
After he smacks you on the head!
He punctuated this by dropping a cane on Marco's *own* head! The new ghost naed Peves left them cackling insanely, 'Oh what fun! Don't worry I'll be baaack!' he dissapeared into a disgusted looking painting-but not before he pulled a face at the Strethscope lot. 'Mental...that ghost rocks!' Kat punched the air as Marco rubbed his head, 'Your *only* saying that 'cause it managed to wallop me one!' Kat grinned, 'Yeah? I'm not ashamed to admit that! Hehe!' she said proudly. Kalo immediately broke into the fight by saying, 'Ok guys cool it, we still gotta FIND the hall yet!' Kalo Malo was one of the sensible members of the Strethscope group and tried to keep things in line and reinstall order when it was needed-and *now* was that time! He suggested that they take the right corridor because he had seen Hagrid do so, everyone did their own versions of shrugs and moved towards that direction.
*********************************************************************
In the great hall, all alone stood a Mr Alan Smith, he was in his mid- forties but at times he could look older-like when he was shouting! His dark eyes peircing as he stood crossed-armed awaiting the arrival of the teachers and the students, ~If they didn't do as I said to then there will be hell to pay!~ he smirked darkly as he thought of the talk he had had with them all before-hand.
Most people thought he lived *solely* to irritate students and make them cry, he however didn't-no, his aim was far greater, he wanted to expel a Miss Morri and forget she had ever existed! He raised his head as the hall doors opened and in spilled the teachers, along with Paul Tilson. Smith's views on Tilson were few and far-between, he believed it was molly-coddling teachers like Tilson that made all these 'rebellious' teenagers, clearly he couldn't remember being a teenager himself!
*********************************************************************
Katania and Kalo were lagging behind,as per usual, well Kalo just tended to 'lag' because if he didn't Kat would surely get into trouble or get lost! She was talking heatedly about the Quiddich pitch they had here, 'TWICE the size of ours 'lo! AND there are some mean kids here too so the competition should be fierce!' as she said this Kalo could have sworn he heard Nick laugh manically up front, In a game of Quidditch, he would jump off his broom and on to another person's just to punch him a few times-such a charming young man really! Although the guys of the group looked upon him as the brick of the group Kalo shook his head and thought he had been *hit* by a brick as a kid!He looked along the people that he knew as his 'friends' whilst Kat rambled on to herself.
As she talked Kat adjusted her hat, she loved her hat and practically LIVED in the thing! Some rumours were she actually SLEPT in the thing! It was a jester-type hat, purple in colour and matched her baggy trousers. She had a skinny-fit top on that was magically created to create words that changed on the front of it, now it read 'Death to all whom oppose me' when before it read, 'Kiss it!' She sighed and finally got her hat into right position, as she looked down she noticed that her shoelaces were untied adn read to be tripped over!
Kalo shook his head and carried on with his survey and came to rest on the current leader of the group who was laughing with Virgo up front, China Johnson. China was medium in height and had long brownish blonde hair that came down to her waist were it was tied loosely at the near bottom of her hair with a red ribbon. She had sparkling blue eyes that seemed to warm with the conversation as she chattered to Virgo happily, she was slim, her tight black shirt showed off her slim waist while her baggy jeans swept around her as she walked down the seemingly endless corridor.
Kalo was quickly pulled from his observations as he realised Kat was not by his side as she had been before, she was bent down undoing her shoelaces and REdoing them, even though fashion was to not have any OR tuck them in she preferred not to have to shuffle to keep her shoes on, as she did the left laces up her hat fell off her head, short blonde hair fluffed out with purple streaks in it, she grumbled and finished lacing the shoe she was doing before going to snatch her hat off the floor, 'Come ON Katania! Were losing the others!' Kalo snapped as she went to reach her hat-and it MOVED! Kat frowned angrilly, 'What the hell's goin' on man?' she stood up and attempted to place her foot on her hat, it lifted into the air this time! She tried to jump and catch it but it had raised over her head, she watched as a spectral hand materialized clutching her hat, then the rest of the body shortly followed-it was Peeves again!
'Told you I would be back! You are better to tease than a silly firstie!' he laughed evilly and stuck his tongue out as Kat raced after his fleeing figure, 'Come BACK here with my hat you no good piece of crap!' as she raced she forgot that her right shoelace was still untied and she fell face first onto the marble floor. Kalo ran up to her to help, he helped her up and she pulled her shoes off completely! 'Kaaat?' Kalo looked worriedly at his friend, 'I'm gonna kick ass! You wanna play ball ghost! You GOT it!' Peeves squealed in delight as Kat resumed her chase now with her shoes above her head clutched tightly in her fists like miniature clubs, shouting a battle cry and with a frantic Kalo behind her she set off again.
************************************************************
Not realising that they were now two members short the rest of the Strethscope students carried on towards the direction indicated by a friendly painting of a man and a woman on a bench in mid summer. They reached the hall not long after being directed and they all pushed open the doors, as they piled into the hall they glanced at the decorations and gasped! There were 'welcome students' signs and lots of party decorations everywhere! It looked like this place wasn't so bad after all, unknowingly they had stopped a few feet into the hall and now were beckoned to 'Continue walking this way smalls' by a smiling Mr Tilson, 'Smalls' was an affectionate term he used because he had once said, 'Your small now but you wait! You guys are going to be bigger than me!' at 6 foot Mr Tilson had thought his place as tallest amoungst them was safe-until they reached 16! Now some of them were either a little shorter or LEVEL with him.
'This bites-where is everyone?' Andros looked around aggravated as they carried on towards the teachers that were now standing behind a table, 'I wanna see the geeza's and gita's we have to work with.' (A/N: Androstle really DOES talk like this.)
'Mr Spliff said that they would be along after we were sorted I think' Sarah P said, Mr Spliff was what they all called Mr Smith-as they thought a good smoke would do him good and help them to be free of his strict critisism.
'Whoa look man! There's another ghost!'
'Nah mate, that's a geezer! A professor!'
'He's the Professor Snape that thingie-bob warned us about!'
'Thingie-bob? Oh you mean that prefect geezers that visited us to explain about Hogwarts?'
'Yeah! He is the potions master!'
The attention was again changed as they all reached the table, there was a really old looking wizard with a tall hat on that was bent speaking heatedly to a crumpled thing on a chair, it looked as if it was a-
'Hey man it's a talking 'at-Hell!'
'Where?! Lemme see!'
'THIS place IS freaky!'
Mr Smith's face twitched slightly as he could hear these things being murmered, 'Miss Carney, Miss Goldmoon and Mr Amerally...DO YOU WANT TO BE QUIET?!' he fumed, they would have replied, *No but YOU want us to be quiet* if he hadn't looked like he would kill them! They just meekly nodded and shut up. They were all told that the 'freaky hat' was actually called the sorting hat, it creased a grin between two folds of itself and began to sing (Oh no not ANOTHER Peeves!)
**INSERT USUAL FIRST YEAR HAT SONG**
Everyone tuned out but still looked at the hat, they were astonished! When the sorting hat came to the end of it's rhyme, and held out for applause-none came. 'Um...people, this is were you guys clap!' Mr Smith said embaressed, 'Man that 'at is off it's 'ed! Hey quite literally aswell- Hehehe!' a chorus of giggles ensued after this statement but everyone clapped out of the transfer group non-the-less, the girl that made the comment was near the back, it had come from Virgo Viconti. 'Now then,' Professor McGonagull started, 'we shall have to prepare for the new rooms and the new house to be put together so for now everyone that is a transfer student will be put temporarilly into one of the four houses-' 'STOP! Were missing two students!' Mr Tilson interrupted after he had been counting them all and putting names to faces whilst the hat had sung on.
'What are their names and I will hold until they come,' Professor McGonagull stated quite calmly, 'They are Miss Katania Ella Morri and Mr Kalo Amerelius Malo,' At the names Mr Smith smacked his forehead and groaned whilst Mr Tilson looked amused, 'NOT Morri! WHY couldn't it have been someone else?! Alright we'll find them and bring them here but I tell you that girl-' he was cut off as the hall doors slammed open once again, 'Hiiiya! Did'ja miss me huh? YO MR *T*!' A girl rushed from outside the hall, a young man in tow, whom was muttering excuses, 'Sorry Mr Tilson, Mr Smith we got held up, a slight...erm...technical difficulty, myself and Kat are really sorry if we caused any untoward strain.' he was extremely well- spoken and had wind-swept blond/brown hair, he was quite attractive and many of the girls gushed.
'It's ok 'lo, I'm sure Mr T is just glad we got here on time...errr...you guys aint finished are you?' the girl had a drawl which was full of humour. Her head *just* reached the boys shoulders but she was the more dominant of the two, you could tell from the way she was dragging poor Kalo towards the group. 'Morri! Malo! Get up here-NOOOW!' Mr Smith was furious as the two came towards him, he looked like he would burst a vessel! 'Whoa soz!' he looked menacing as she started, 'We didn't MEAN to be late, it's just this ghost had my-' Mr Smith roared, 'I don't CARE!You two just join the group and I'll deal with you *personally* later on!' As Kalo and Katania crept into the group a voice whispered, 'Kat you are *SO* busted!' China said and grinned at her playfully, 'Shush CJ you wanna get our butts grilled on the first day?!' was her only reply.
TBC!!!MUCH MORE TO COME!
