Draco walked into the Great Hall, accompanied by Crabbe and Goyle, and took his seat at the end of the Slytherin table. Right as he sat down he picked up his knife and fork eagerly awaiting the end of the Sorting when the Start-of-Term Feast would begin.
As he waited for the first years, Draco looked up at the enchanted ceiling. Tonight it showed a beautifully clear sky with millions of handfuls of twinkling, glittering stars. After finding his favorite constellation, (Draco, of course) he tore his gaze away and looked at the Professors.
Professor Snape was deep in discussion with Professor Dumbledore. They both had very serious looks on their faces. The other teachers were all chatting happily though their eyes occasionally flicked to Dumbledore and Snape. Draco was wondering what they were on about when Professor McGonagall flew into the Great Hall. She quickly whispered something to Dumbledore and he stood up.
"All students are to remain in their seats. There has been an accident." And without another word all the teachers followed him out of the Great Hall.
Immediately after the last cloak was seen exiting the hall an excited murmur broke out among the students. Some of the students looked scared. Others looked excited. Draco looked over at Potter, Weasley, and Granger. They were huddled up among themselves trying to see if they could solve another mystery. Probably worried about that big klutz, Hagrid.
Pansy strolled up to Draco and asked simpering, "What do you think happened Drakie?"
"Don't call me that." Draco replied "And I have no idea about what happened." Though secretly hoping it was Hagrid and the first years.
Pansy walked away looking frustrated. Then all the teachers walked in leading a group of terrified-looking first years. Draco saw the Dream Team all waving at Hagrid, relieved that nothing happened to him.
Dumbledore strode up to the podium and looked at the first years then all the rest of the students. "You will, in no doubt," he begun, "wish to know what happened out there."
All the students nodded vigorously and looked hopefully at Dumbledore.
"There was an accident with the boats. All of them tipped over into the water carrying the students and Hagrid with them."
It was then that Draco noticed all the first years looked very wet. All of them had blankets wrapped around them.
"No one knows how this happened," Dumbledore continued, "But not to worry! All the students are safe!! Now we will precede with the Sorting and then we can feast!"
"Hear! Hear!" someone yelled. That released the tension and most people broke out laughing.
Draco watched as Aleeda, Taylor was sorted into Ravenclaw. He half listened during most of the Sorting wishing it would hurry and be over. Then, for some reason, he looked up to watch as Varda, Tempest was being sorted. Maybe it was the name that caught his attention. It isn't very common. He looked at the tiny figure as she walked confidently up to the stool, her black hair contrasting harshly with her very light, almost white, skin.
She sat down and McGonagall put the hat on her head. It fell over her black eyes. A couple seconds later it called out:
"SLYTHERIN!!"
Draco joined in the cheering that engulfed the Slytherin table as Tempest walked toward it. She sat down across from Draco and looked at the remaining students (Yale, Erik and Zeke, Adrian) as they were sorted (Hufflepuff and Gryffindor).
Then Dumbledore stood up, beaming at the new students. "Wonderful!" he called out, "Now that that is over with, lets eat!!!!" He clapped his hands and instantly the plates in front of them were filled with food.
Draco greedily dug in, his eyes wondering over the table. His eyes fell on Tempest, who wasn't touching anything.
"Hoff sov footh!" he said with his mouth full of turkey. The eleven-year-old girl just looked at him. No weird looks to see a fifteen-year-old talking to her with a mouthful of food, no "EEWWW!'s or anything. She just looked at him, her black eyes glittering maliciously.
"Okee," Draco said, shrugging and still stuffing himself "sthooth yothselv."
Finally everyone was done eating. Dumbledore stood up.
"In the excitement of the boating accident, I forgot to make any announcements! Of course the Forbidden Forest is off limits to all the students. That's why it's called the Forbidden Forest," his eyes twinkled. " And of course no magic in the halls. That is all! Off to bed now!"
The students all went lazily to the doors closest to their tables. The Slytherins went off towards the dungeons. "The new password is 'Mesopolis Adran'!" Blaise Zabini, the new Prefect called.
All the Slytherins entered their cozy green and silver common room and headed off to their dorms.
"That Tempest is weird" Draco thought to himself. "I wonder what's up with her." Then he drifted off to sleep.
ALL RIGHT!!! 3rd chapter done!! For your information 'Hoff sov footh' means 'have some food' and 'Okee, sthooth yothselv' means 'OK suit yourself'
I really hope you like this chapter and thank you all for your LOVELY reviews!! Keep it up!!!
And this story is NOT a slash so don't fear!
