Ok. I;m writing as fast a I can. That is, I;m writing two stories at once. LOL

Enjoy.

P/S: In the words of Freelancer, MY fic, MY rules

Dedicated to Aeryn Alexander, your great! *huggles* and Selene, don't ever give up.
And before I forget, if any of you know who Gross Reality is and stories he has

flamed, please tell me in your reviews. He needs to learn respect . If you want to

see why, read his story and Selene's...Stories of the Hogwarts Sisterhood, I think. He has

no respect for authors in general. Thank you.

The Gryffinodor common room was empty. And so was the

dorm (Harry's bed happened to be in between the Dumbledore

brothers). So he headed to the Great Hall for breakfast. He hadn't

realized how hungry he was until just then. The hall was beautifuly

decorated for the Starting Feast, and all of the students were curious as

to the new student. The Headmistress had gotton there before him, and

she made a hand motion as to invite him to be sorted just as the first

years filled in.

" Before the first years', I'd like to introduce a student formerly of

Beubeuton Academy of Magic. May I present Mr. Daniel Alder." There

was polite applause from the student body. In the crowd Harry could

see Dumbledore, i Albusi/ , he corrected. He couldn't call him by

his last name in this time. Beside him was a boy who was obviously his

younger brother and a girl with beautiful black hair. Professor

Mcgonagall, Harry decided, was kind-looking for how strict she was in

his time.

" Mr. Alder, please put the Sorting Hat on your head." And so he did,

mentally thanking Professor Falindir for the nice name.
i hmmmmnnn...... what bravery!i/ said the hat. i I'll put you

in..................i/

"GRYFFINDOR!!!!!" Thunderous applause rose up from the

Gryffindor table. Dumbledore flagged him over as he came down the

steps.

" Nice to see you in Gryffindor Daniel." Albus said in unison

with his brother. Tabby laughed.

" My name's Albus Dumbledore, and this is my brother Alberforth."

Harry shook Alberforth's hand.

" And this is Minerva Mcgonagall. But we just call her Tabby."

Minerva smiled at him.

" Nice to meet you." The Sorting went on without a hitch, and they

were soon eating happily.

" So," said Albus, " When did you decided to come here?" He

swallowed a ball of mashed potatoes.

" About a month or so. I'm..well...an orphan." Dumbledore turned

red.

" Oh...ummm.."

" Don't worry about it." He relaxed as Minerva rolled her eyes at

Albus. After the meal had dissapeared from the plates, the Headmistress

gave her yearly speech.

" Remember. The Forbidden Forest if OFF LIMITS. That includes

you Mr. Dumbledore." She gave a pointed glance at Alberforth, who

went beet red and sunk into his seat. Professor Falindir smiled gently

at him among the fits of laughter.

" What did he do?" Harry whispered to Albus and Minerva.

" Ummmm...it has to do with goats." Harry fought to keep his face

quizzical. But he recalled the goat obsession. He made a mental note to

ask Dumbledore to tell him the whole story when he got back. Soon

they were all dismissed to go to bed. Trudging up, Harry sunk into his

old routine until he looked at his 'charges'. They were still in danger.

And until the threat was passed, he knew he'd be as paranoid as Alastor

Moody in a room full of strangers.
