Make my Life

By: Lythtis

A/N: This is Chapter 2! This section will definitely some modern card games. Sorry if music isn't in this one. I'll try to include music in the next one, though also I added some styling, which I myself just learned about. I'm not a weirdo, I just don't pay attention. Now, to get back to the story, both Draco and Hermione will be having changes in their lives, and Ron and Harry can only watch as they happen. Or maybe they should join. Either way, this is gonna be a longer chapter than the 1st so be happy! ^-^ Don't worry, it's not a D/He thing.

Just to remind, none of the characters nor the music ot music artists belong to me and I own no copyright for them. And now, without further to do, let us begin Chapter 2! (Hey-that rhymes, cool!)oh, wait, I do own the new people, just wanted to point that out.

Chapter 2-Fortuna Fortune Jinx

As the trio entered the great hall, they could hear the shouts of all the new students, which reminded him, they were going to have 5 new sixth years as Harry remembered. He hoped they wouldn't end up being like Malfoy.
"Harry," Ron said, "we're supposed to be in the great hall by now."
They were late, because they stayed behind to say hello to Hagrid.
"C'mon you two, I don't want to be in trouble on our first day back," Hermione said, as she began dragging them both by the sleeves.
As they were walking down the isle to Neville and Ginny, both Harry and Ron received some shouts from younger admirers. But Hermione also didn't stay unnoticed by the 4th year boys from both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, which made her blush slightly. Ron and Harry, on the other hand, were clearly enjoying the attention from their 'fans', and they waved back as more calls came.
"Harry!" Neville called as they sat down next to him and Ginny. "How was your summer?"
"It was boring for a while," Harry admitted, "but we now have some new neighbors, and their wizards just as well!"
"Really? What's their last name?"
"It's Draziw, which sounds a little foreign, but then again, they are from Hawaii."
"Now, I wouldn't mind having them for neighbors."
"Yeah, I literally spent most of my summer with them. They showed me all of these neat things that they were building and stuff. They even called me away in time when Uncle Vernon or Dudley was getting ready to yell at me."
"Sounds cool," Neville agreed. "How about you Hermione? Ginny told me everything about your summer already Ron. I don't want you to feel forgotten."
"That's quite alright old boy," Ron said, as he was staring out at something else. Better yet, somebody else.
"My summer was absolutely Marvelous," she dismissed, and continued to read her book 'Music for Life'.
"Music for Life?" Neville asked, a little confused by the title.
"The same thing we said," Ron answered.
"Or would have said," Harry added.
"Hey, the sortings beginning," Neville exclaimed, and even Hermione put her book down long enough to see that it was a larger group than usual.
The hat was placed on its stool in front of the hall, and it itself looked very refreshed, even for a hat. Before it began, it yelled "Give me a beat, Snapey!" Snape had dressed in what could be considered a 'gangsta-thang', including Bling-Bling and rings. Snape kneeled down next to the hat and gave it a rhythm, to which, it began rapping. "Amazing," Harry muttered.

The year is new

It started with grace
It will continue with joy
To see a new face

Bad times are gone
The good are kickin'
We hope to share
Our friendship without pickin'

To sort you in
The house of choice
Will be decided
With my own voice

There are four
From which I will choose
Whatever the choice
You cannot lose

"Wanna bet?" Harry wanted to yell out.

First in line is Griffindor

Heroes arise
Stay forever more

Second here is Hufflepuff
If you be unjust
Things get ruff

Third to come is Ravenclaw
The nerdy ones
Are here I saw

And last to greet is Slytherin
For the sneaky ones
Here I'll put you in

So don't be coy don't get a fit
This is the way that you will learn
If the house sucks in which I pick
To get your way in life you will have to earn

After the Sorting hat ended its song, naturally everyone applauded, although there were some worried frowns within the sea of students. But now, the sorting began. 34 new kids joined Slytherin, 41 went to Ravenclaw, 32 in Gryffindor, and 30 in Hufflepuff. Now that the new first years took their places, it was time for the new 6th year students to be sorted.
McGonagall read from the list and called out first "Bèstabb'd, Kristina." From the crowd walked a pale blonde, who had a charming quality about her, if she wouldn't unleash a sense of misery as she walked by. As she placed the hat on top of her head, it took it about 10 seconds to decide to stick her in Ravenclaw.
Next to come out of the small crowd was "Draziw, Liana." Harry looked very closely at her, and did notice, that she did look somewhat like his new neighbors. He also found out it wasn't a cat they were talking about, but their daughter, who seemed very sporty for some reason, but that could have also been because of her height. If she didn't jump when the hat yelled Gryffindor, then it did look like a very large twitch. She hesitantly walked towards the table at which they sat and took a chair next to Hermione, who smiled at her in approval. She nervously grinned back and continued to watch the ceremony. But the thing he did notice was a streak of blue in her hair, that seemed natural, though her parents had red ones.
"Black'ere, Kayla" was a silent person, who seemed to match perfectly into the shadows. She was placed into Slytherin and Harry already felt sorry for her. Draco was hitting on all of the new students, he heard him brag.
"Santee-sioux, Amber" got a very enthusiastic applause as she walked to the Hufflepuff table. She had short-brown hair and seemed to be having a pleasant time.
"Coldheart, Aaron" was also sent to the Hufflepuff table and took a seat right next to Amber.
"Dúell, Chris" went to the Slytherin table and "Alltell, Dustin" was sent to Gryffindor.
The last person, who was sent to Ravenclaw was "????????, Angel".
Dumbledore rose to greet all of the new students and said after his speech "Let the feasting begin."
Right after he uttered the last sentence, everybody began to make an aquaintance with the new people, who were a little nervous about all the attention one could only guess. The most girls were edging towards Aaron and Angel, but Dustin and Chris had somehow gotten seats next to each other and began duelling in Yu-Gi-Oh!
"My, what an interesting card game," Hermione exclaimed, as she was looking over Liana's shoulder to see what was happening.
"Is it like our Witches and Wizards cards?" Ron asked out of curiosity.
"No," Liana replied, keeping track of the scores from the dueling boys. "This game is concluded of where the duelers are magicians, not meant literally, and they can summon monsters. But I hope that also never becomes real."
"My name's Ron Weasley," he said, reaching his hand across the table for her to shake. "Nice to meet you."
"Pleasure's all mine."
"Oh-and this is my friend, Harry Potter. I'm sure you've heard of him."
"Ron-" Harry elbowed his friend in the side. Why did he always have to make a show of him?
"Naturally," was all she said. "It's nice meeting you Harry Potter, though I had worries you were actually related to the Dursleys."
"How do you know where I live?" Harry asked in a shocked tone.
"No need to be quite so unexpected," she said in a normal voice, "I am your neighbor, after all, so of course I should know you. I see you walk by enough times and into the house."
"But I never see you," he accused.
"I don't believe that you choose to look." She replied. "But I probably made myself a little too inconspicuous."
"Probably," he said in a sullen tone.
"Now, don't be so miffy about it," she said cheerfully, "It's all just for the fun."
"So, you're Harry's neighbor then," Ron asked, seeming really interested to know more about this little newsflash.
"Yes, I am."
"Well then, we'll have to get to know each other better then if I want to find out what my buddy does while I'm not around," Ron said, with a glint of malice in his eyes. Harry suddenly went numb inside with the feeling of dread.
"Probably trying to stay alive is his favorite past time," she said, still smiling like nothing had happened.
Then Dumbledore rose to his feet again and gave his last speech for the day, "Dear students of all houses," he began, still trying to get everyone's attention, "I do hope you will welcome all of our new students and help them feel welcome here. As always, classes begin tomorrow, your head of house will have pinned your classes to the announcement boards in your common room, and now I wish you all a good night."
With that last statement he received a deafening applause, and the students filed out of the great hall with their noisy chatter following behind them.
"Well," Ron said, looking around at the crowd, "looks like tomorrow will be a long day."
"As always," Harry replied, leading the girls and Neville to the common room.
"Good night," they bade each other, then walked off into their new rooms, waiting for tomorrow to bring their best day. Or possibly, worst.

A/N: For those who were confused, Angels' last name is 'sorcerer', just so you know. And why do the Draziw's have colored locks in their hair, IF it is colored? The answer to these questions-are still unkown to the author. ^-^ But don't fret, I will find them, in due time, of course. I hope it wasn't too bad of a story, and I'll take suggestions on how to improve it possibly.
