Chapter 8
Author's Note- Thanks a whole bunch to Nestrik for his wonderful reviews!!!
A couple of hours later the train had finally reached to Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Catherine got off the train. Catherine followed the first years to be sorted.
" I'll see you guys in a bit." said Catherine
Once they were at the castle, they headed for the Great Hall. They took their seats in the Gryffindor table and waited for the sorting. They saw Catherine among the first years to get sorted. She smiled at them nervously.
" Ahem. May I have your attention please. When I call your name please come up and be sorted." said Professor McGonagall
" Herington, Frederick."
He happened to a boy very skinny with a dull face. He was sorted into Slytherin.
" Well, with that face where else would he be?" said Ron trying hard not to laugh out loud.
Hermione nudged him hard on the side.
The second one was a girl with a ponytail you got into Hufflepuff. The third got into Gryffindor. One after another got sorted into their destined houses.
The last person there was Catherine. Now Dumbledore stood up.
" I am pleased to inform you that we have a transfer student here at Hogwarts. She will be transferred into the 7th year for she has studied in her other school. Her name is Catherine Kim." Said Dumbledore.
There were loud cheers for Catherine. No one in the hall could deny that she was absolutely gorgeous.
Catherine was very pleased by the students' cheers. Such the grand welcome it was.
The only people who weren't seem to be happy was the group of students who looked very unpleasant. She supposed they were the Slytherin lot.
She stepped up and sat down on the stool. McGonagall placed the hat on her head. Catherine waited.
Hmmm. Talented. Great mind. Exceptional gifts. You would do very well in Slytherin. Wouldn't you think?
No.
You cannot deny your Gift.
I don't want to be in Slytherin.
Well suit yourself. Though you are making a terrible mistake.
GRYFFINDOR!
Catherine stood up and joined Harry, Ron, Hermione and the Gryffindor table.
" Congratulations!!" said Harry.
" YEA!" said Ron and the other boys at the table.
Catherine laughed. All the boys kept on introducing themselves to her.
" Well as the Sorting is over, I like to give out a few notices. After the previous events the staff and I think it is in need to have events to cheer up our spirits. Just moping around in dismay will not do any good. So we shall have balls for Halloween, Christmas and the End of Year dances. Also I would like to add that all of the students are invited." said Dumbledore.
" Wow. I didn't expect that. Good thing I got new dress robe." said Ron.
Hermione looked exceptionally happy about this. Perhaps the fact that this time Ron would ask her to the ball and NOT as a last resort. Harry knew perfectly whom he wanted to ask to the ball. But he noticed that a lot of the boys kept introducing themselves to Catherine. Especially after the announcement. After the feast, they went up to the Gryffindor Tower. They stayed in the Common Room to chat and play a game of chess. It was amazing since Catherine beat Ron, which to him was a first loss in chess. Then they headed up to their dormitories.
Catherine felt as if she was finally home. Everyone made her feel so welcome. She wouldn't have thought it possible. Especially with well, her "gift". It still bothered her though since she would have to tell Harry, Ron and Hermione about her. But what would happen when she tells them? Will they desert her?
