Chapter 4
Introductions
The girls had spent most of the day getting better acquainted with the Hogwarts ghosts and portraits. They found them all to be fascinating. Of course they had ghosts and portraits at Avalon but none were filled with as much history as the occupants of Hogwarts.
When the students had finally arrived the girls watched silently as the sorting ceremony took place. 'I didn't know that old hat could sing,' observed Tyler.
'Me neither,' Silver replied not really listening.
After the sorting had finished the girls watched and waited as Dumbledore worked up to their introductions.
"This year" he started, "we have a unique opportunity. As some of you know there is a Wizarding school in North America by the name of 'Avalon School of Enchantment and Sorcery', this school, like many things in America is newly established and has only been around for only about 460 years, a mere blink in the history of Hogwarts you might say but nevertheless it has produced many fine witches and wizards in it's time. The unique opportunity that I speak of is that we have two students here with us tonight from that very school who have agreed to spend the year here as what you might call Foreign Exchange Students. They have already been sorted into their houses and I know that all of you will make them feel very much at home." As he finished this, the girls opened the doors to the great hall and walked calmly up to the front of the room, wearing their robes from Avalon, to stand before the rest of the school. Not a single set of eyes strayed from them, and the silence was unnerving. "In case you could not tell from their appearance, these two are cousins, Silver Ravenwolf is in her forth year and has been sorted into Gryffindor," At this Silver removed her emerald robe and replaced it with a black Hogwarts robe, "and Tyler Michaels is in her sixth year and has been sorted into Slytherin." As she also replaced her robe with one from Hogwarts the great hall erupted into applause and both girls smiled. "You may take your seats girls and the feast can begin" They both made their way over to their house tables and had just sat down when their plates were filled with food.
Over at the Gryffindor table Silver had been ushered over to the dream team and was in an involved conversation about the physics of quidditch, successfully capturing Ron, Harry, and Hermione's attention at the same time.
"So do you actually play any Quidditch?" Asked Ron after a while.
"Yea, I was the seeker on my house team in America, knowing all the physics helps improve my game and they're very interesting."
"Does your cousin play Quidditch too?" Inquired Hermione. "No, she's more into books"
"Really, you wouldn't guess that by looking at her, she looks like a model" Ron remarked.
"Ron! Looks aren't everything, just because someone's pretty doesn't mean they can't be smart!" exclaimed Hermione properly chastising Ron.
Silver laughed "Well, actually she does do modeling, but Hermione's right, Tyler hates being looked at as nothing but a beauty, that's why she does so well at school, she feels like she has to prove herself, that's probably why she was put into Slytherin."
At the Slytherin table everyone seemed more interested in Tyler's school and personal history than Quidditch and she had started up a conversation with a very good-looking blonde with eyes a stunning shade of silver by the name of Draco. " Well," she started. "Silver carries the family name, Ravenwolf, we have many generations of witches and wizards in our family, it's one of the purest lines in North America, they came from England and Scotland I believe, Michaels is an American name, it belonged to a Wizarding family that started about 3 generations ago,"
"What's your school like?"
"Avalon is a wonderful school though not near as big as this one, less potential for getting lost," she replied chuckling softly, "It doesn't have the history of this school but is much loved by the students. The house I was in there was awesome and it has my favorite animal as the emblem"
"Which animal?" Draco drawled with a slow interested smile.
"Oh, the white tiger."
"Very cool"
Ignoring the way he was looking at her she continued, "I'm really glad I was put into Slytherin because I don't believe the other houses would like Laticia very much."
"Who's Laticia?" asked Draco.
"Well Draco that would be my albino corn snake." She replied sweetly, giving him one of her dazzling smiles. "My cousin and I were allowed to bring pets a little different than the regular cat, toad, or owl, Silver brought along Jaliee."
"Is Jaliee a snake as well?"
"No," she replied chuckling. "Jaliee is a female ferret." Not realizing that Draco was growing pale and others were snickering, she continued, "Actually your hair is about the same color as her fur."
"Really," said Draco looking slightly ill "How interesting, are you and your cousin close?"
"The closest, you might say we could read each others minds," she confirmed with a mysterious grin.
'Well, this is an interesting bunch, what about your table?'
'Yea they're interesting too. Hermione is very intelligent and I'm talking with Harry Potter.'
'The Harry Potter? Cool, hopefully we'll all become friends; this Draco guy seems pretty cool although, something tells me he wouldn't like Jaliee.'
'Oh really? I'll ask Harry about it, he doesn't seem to like Draco much.'
"Hey Harry, why do you think my cousin would say Draco wouldn't like my pet Jaliee?"
"Well, what kind of pet is it?"
"A ferret"
Fits of giggles over took Lavender and Parvati and she could tell Hermione was trying to keep a straight face.
"Well you see," Harry began smiling, "about two years ago."
The girls looked at each other and smiled again. 'Well,' they thought 'this should be an interesting year.'
R/R!!!!!!!!! please?
