Chapter 2 the New Arrivers
They went on the carriage to the great hall for the feast. They sat there whispering to each other. The sorting hat was set on the stool. They were waiting for the first years. Finally after what seemed an hour, they arrived & were sorted. Dumbledore wasn't giving his speech. He was waiting for something. What could it be? They all looked around confused.
"What is going on?" asked Ron.
"Don't know" said Harry.
Then the great hall doors swung open. Two girls were running to the sorting hat. One was tan & had brown hair that went to her waist, & brown eyes, with smudged makeup running down her face. The other one was blond hair to her shoulders, & blue eyes, with makeup running down her face to, they were soaked. They had caught some rain before they came.
"I see that our new arrivers are late."
"Sorry headmaster, we missed the train & we couldn't find Hogwarts" said the blond looking guilty.
"That's ok, just don't let it happen again"
"We won't they said together."
" Everyone, this is Lilly Blaze, & JoElla Madden, they are transferring here from America for there 6th year" said Dumbledore proudly.
"Now if you would please sit under the sorting hat?"
"Of course". Lilly sat down first. Her bright blue eyes were looking nervously around the room.
"Gryffindor!!" the hat shouted.
There were cheers & applause around the table. JoElla now sat under the hat not looking so nervous. The hat was thinking.
"Gryffindor!" It shouted.
JoElla hurried to her friend. They were talking happily to each other. Dumbledore said his speech very clearly.
"We all hope you will enjoy your stay at Hogwarts. Just to remind you that the Forbidden Forest is off limits. There should be no one after 10 out of their dormitory. I would like to introduce your new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher will be Tonks."
Harry's heart gave a jump when he heard her name. So did Hermione's, & Ron's. They were happy to hear that they had a decent teacher after professor Umbridge.
"That should be all, let the feast begin."
The gold plates filled with food. Their eyes lit up as they shoved food in there mouths. They were so starved they ate in five minutes. Hermione & Ron lead them upstairs to their dormitory, since they were prefects. The new password is Go Lions. They sat talking in the common room for a while. The fest made them so sleepy, that they soon went to bed. They felt so comfy when their head hit the pillow.
