CHAPTER 14

"Well Potter, hanging out with Weasel and Granger again? You really should have accepted my offer in Diagon alley before the first year." His eyes moved to Irirana "And what do we have hear? Who might you be girl?"

"I'm Irirana Averin Sildra. And who might you be?" she asked with an icy voice, they could feel the temperature in the room drop.

"I'm Draco Malfoy and with a name like that, not to mention your hair and eyes, you really should be in Slytherin. Why don't I take you away from these weaklings and show you some civilised company." He asked with a charming smile.

"What? Company like those to primates behind you? No thanks. Besides I don't hang out with Ferrets."

"You'll regret that girl." And he flipped out his wand.

Immediately a silvery light started coming from Iri's eyes. The breeze in the train became stronger, she went for her wand but Malfoy was quicker. On that moment a young man darted into view, a sword was unsheathed and before Malfoy's goonies could do anything it was next to Draco's throat: "Leave the girl alone, Malfoy."

Malfoy, obviously afraid of his delicate neck froze. He glared angrily at the girl and pocketed his wand: "You're lucky this time girl." And with that he did a step back and left.

Iriana jumped up and threw herself in a crushing hug around the young man: "Thanks you sir." And she hugged him even tighter.

"No Problem, ugh, need air, please let go." He managed to blur out.

She blushed slightly and let him go, she made a small curtsey and smiled at him: "I'm Irirana Averin Sildra."

He grinned at her and made a bow: "I'm James Roulette, pleased to meet you miss Irirana."

"The same to you sir James."

"Please call me Blade, everybody else does."

"Are you gonna be a teacher?" she asked him curiously.

"No, I'm an exchange student of E.A.C.O.M.M., which means East American College Of Mystic Might. They have a exchange student from BeauxBatons and they have a exchange student from Durmstrang who in turn have one from Hogwarts."

"So you're from America?"

He rolled up his sleeve to show a tattoo of the American flag on his arm.

"You got a tattoo." Iri squealed "I thought those don't come off!"

"They don't, but I don't want it to come off." He replied.

Harry suddenly interrupted the conversation: "You know Blade, One of my school books is written by a Roulette."

"That would be my dad, He wrote it and also trained me. I'm also assisting with the new classes for the Phoenix Blades."

A few minutes later the trolley witch came by and they bought enough food for everybody, including a very hungry fairy.

Lily immediately dove towards the first chocolate frog with a loud battle cry: "SUGAR!!!!!!"

Everybody watched completely shocked as the first frog was devoured in a mere minute. She immediately went for the second one, then everybody else started eating too.

An later that day which had been a lot of fun of sharing stories the conductor announced the arrival at Hogsmeade station which was also a relieve to them because they had been bugged a large part of the trip by a fairy on sugar overload. They quickly exited the train and saw Hagrids huge figure standing at the end of the platform: "First Years this way!." He shouted over the crowd.

Irirana quickly went over to Harry: "I gotta go with him, I see you at the castle ok?"

"Sure thing Iri."

She stifled a small giggle and curtseyed for Blade: "Goodbye sir James." And she gave him her most innocent heart breaking smile.

Blade looked quite surprised at the tease and the smile confused him even more leaving him speechless much to great delight of the still sugar drunk fairy. The rest of the group made their way to the carriages and with some fitting the all managed to get into one. The entire way to Hogwart they were being bugged by Lily who teased Blade out of his mind. Everybody was greatly relieved when they finally reached Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall quickly made her way over to them: "You much two much James and Aurora, right?"

The two nodded to the stern looking professor.

"Good, You both have to come in the side chamber so that you can be sorted into the houses."

And thus they followed McGonagall and the rest went into the great hall and took their place at the Gryffindor table. A few minutes later Aurora and Blade came in and looked around obvious taken by the size of the hall. They quickly found the Gryffindor table and made their way over seating themselves next to Harry and Ron. Lily had already made herself comfortable on a reversed glass.

She watched from her place high up in the hall as the boy and girl made their way into the hall. She had to admit, grandfather had a great way of altering events to his liking. Both Aurora and the Roulette-boy would make great guardians for Harry. She noticed trough one of the windows the first years coming out of the boats. She flew of to grandfathers room so she could have a talk with him after dinner.

A few minutes later the first years made their way in and looked nervously around. The only one not very nervous looking was Irirana who already knew what was coming thanks to Harry.

McGonagall walked in and placed the sorting hat on the small stool, soon the hat started to sing his annual song which was received with great applause from the students in the hall.

(A/N. I suck at songs, if someone has something for the sorting hat to sing and doesn't mind me using it, please mail it to me)

"All right first years, when I call your name come forward and place the sorting hat on your head. Andrin, Tria" A small girl walked forwards and put the hat on her head.

"Hufflepuff!" the hat shouted and one of the tables exploded in cheers.

Soon thirty two student had been sorted when McGonagall called: "Sildra, Irirana Averin!"

The silver-haired girl quickly made her way over to the stool and put the hat on her head. A few minutes when by and because you could see her lips move Harry knew she was having a conversation with the hat, suddenly she giggled and the hat shouted: "Ravenclaw!"



Another chapter done. Please people, if you have a song for the sorting hat, please mail it to me. I will of course give you credit for it.
