Transfer Students
It seemed like just last week that the school year had ended and Harry was starting down the road to recovery over Sirius' death. Really a summer had gone by and it was the beginning of the famous trio's 6th and almost last year at Hogwarts. You would never know that the person getting off the train was Harry Potter because he did a lot of changing over the summer. Harry just says it was normal what every kid goes through, but Hermoine as always was suspicious and knew it was something else. He looked like a totally new person. His shoulders were now broader and he shot up in height over the summer. He was not any longer the shortest in his class. He was almost one of the tallest. He was even a little bit taller than his friend Ron. His face was now rounder and his cheekbones more define. Harry's hair was now grown down to his shoulders and was pulled back in a ponytail, and instead of it being all black it now had a reddish tint to it. Harry did not wear his glasses anymore but now muggle contacts. The whole aura around him had changed.
The train station was packed that night. It seemed as if they had more first years then normal this year. The trio walked quickly to grab a carriage for themselves because it was raining. Just as they were seated in the carriage a girl that looked around there age came in.
"Hi my name is Casey. Do u mind if I sit in hear with you, all the others seem full."
"Yea, sure no problem. What year are you in? You look older then a first year and I don't remember seeing you around here before?" Hermoine asked
"OOOO yea I am a sixth year. I just transferred here from Merlin's School of Witchcraft in Canada. My parents thought it was better for me here."
"Cool! We are sixth years too." Harry said.
"What house do you think you will get sorted in to?" Ron asked.
"I'm not so sure. I hear Gryffindor is really good but I am a bookworm sometimes so maybe Ravenclaw. We will just have to wait and find out. What house are you guys in?"
"All three of us are in Gryffindor. I am Hermoine and this is Ron Weasly and Harry Potter."
By this time they had reached the school and Casey split up and went with the 1st years. The trio headed inside to get a seat for the sorting ceremony. Soon the first years were brought in and Dumbledore got up to make his announcements,
"Another year has started and we hope it is better then last. The threat of Voldemort is still above us but as long as you do as your told we will all be safe. Now we have a few transfer students and we will be sorting them first. Please show them around and give them the help they need...." Dumbledore continued with the usual precautions like staying out of the dark forest and things to that nature.
The first name that was called out was Casey Malloy. It took a good 5 minutes before the hat decided but finally it shouted out.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
