Disclaimer: Whether I want to admit it or not, I do not own any Characters
that you may recognize. I have an imagination; however if I had J.K.
Rowling's I wouldn't be posting Fan Fiction. There may be some new
characters that I of course made up but then who knows I may have picked up
them some place too. I am also sure the plot may be somewhat different but
not completely original.
I have decided to up the rating of this story to R. It was a suggestion by one of my readers because of the unsuitable language.
I just wanted to recognize my only 2 reviewers at this time.
RedWitch1 thank you for you comments.
Duds56 thank you but hey you're spelling isn't that great either. Tee Hee love you.
Chapter 4
"You have got to be kidding me"
"Where did you hear that?" Hermione demanded.
"When some of the kids found out I was, what you call it, oh yeah muggle born they called me a mud blood." said Aaron.
"Who said it? I'll set them straight. Names I want names."
"Calm down Herms I don't know their names. I was talking to a bunch of other first years and these kids overheard our conversation. That's when they started calling me that. I just want to know what it means."
"Ok Aaron listen to me 'mud blood'" she spat the name, "is a foul name for a muggle born. It is like saying they have dirty blood. Don't ever let me hear you say that again. Understand me?"
"No problem Herms." He said "but why are you so upset it's not like they were saying it to you?"
"Because I was called one too."
Harry and Ron watched this with interest. Ron was the first to speak. "Mione I know you're upset about that, but I can tell there is something else. What is it?"
Hermione started to explain the letter she received in the head compartment. "I got a letter telling me of things that are changing this year. Let me give you the bad news in the order I received it. Each year of prefects will be sharing a dorm room. So Ron that means you will be sharing a room with three other people. This brings me to the second group of bad news. There is only one prefect per house per year. I myself get to share a common room and bathroom with Malfoy." Hermione let the boys digest this information before she shared the last with them. "Finally my letter was signed Acting Headmistress Minerva McGonagall."
"What?" they yelled.
"Dumbledore has gone missing."
As Hermione said this she realized they were only a few minutes from Hogsmeade. "Lord will you look at that we need to change now."
"But Mione?"
"That's all I know anyway I'm sure we will find out more once we get to Hogwarts."
As everyone disembarked the train, there seemed to be mass confusion. Hagrid, gamekeeper at Hogwarts and Care of Magical Creatures Professor, put an end to the confusion quickly. "First years over here. Hurry now." Waving at everyone else he said "You lot get in a carriage and be on your way."
The trio waved goodbye to Aaron and climbed into a carriage. They were silent each analyzing the information they received that afternoon.
In side the great hall everyone seemed to be sitting in their usual seats. They followed suit and found theirs. Hermione smiled. She was home. She knew Harry felt the same way. He however was able to spend all of his summer with Ron. Hermione was left to her own devices the entire summer in the muggle world.
Her eyes roamed toward the head table and noticed two empty seats. McGonagall was sitting in the Headmasters seat and oh my Katie Bell was in McGonagall's old one. As she wondered what was going on she realized Professor Snape was missing as was whoever their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher would be this year. Last years had quit after she had been turned in to a bat for the third time. "We all warned her to watch out for the Weasleys products."
There was a sound by the door and Hermione's first question was answered. In walked Professor Snape with the first years.
"Move along you lot, could you be any slower?" Snape was clearly exasperated already. "When I call your name move up to the stool put on the hat and wait to be sorted. When you know what house you are in join your housemates.
The sorting hat was placed on the stool. Everyone waited to hear this year's song. Sometimes it changed but most often it was the same.
Students of Hogwarts
I bid you hello
What house will be yours?
I will let you know
I usually tell you of the houses four
But I can not do that
I have something more
Please listen real close
For I will not repeat
We need our Hero
So the light can defeat
Where are you Hero
I can feel you presence here
You are so close
You are so near
The lady will find you
So don't try to hide
She will uncover your
Light and noble side
And to the lady
Of whom I speak
Please hurry lady
Help us protect the week
The great hall was silent. Everyone was looking around. They wanted to know who the hero and the lady were. Most however felt that they already knew who the hero was. Harry Potter of course, He was the 'Boy Who Lived'.
"Silence" yelled McGonagall. "Time to begin the sorting. Hat I will talk to you later."
With that Snape cleared his throat and began.
Adams, Hester Hufflepuff
Allen, James Ravenclaw
Conner, Mike Gryffindor
Fulton, Alice Hufflepuff
Holden, Maxwell Slytherin
Jackson, Carla Ravenclaw
Keller, Aaron The hat paused. To the students sitting it looked as if that hat was thinking; but Aaron could hear it talking to him. "What is this?" it said "It can't be. They didn't have children and they are dead. Aren't they? Maybe not but I do know who you are. A piece of advice do not be fooled. There are things you and everyone else do not know about. Go to McGonagall she will help you." With that the hat yelled.
"Gryffindor"
Aaron got up and slowly worked his way over to the table. Hermione was gesturing for him to come sit with her. As he sat don she whispered, "What was that all about?" Aaron just shrugged.
And so the ceremony continued with the last 6 being sorted into their various houses.
When the ceremony was over Snape took the hat and handed it to McGonagall. It whispered something to her; she nodded but didn't look pleased.
She stood up and addressed everyone.
"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts. Before the feast begins I have a few announcements.
Forbidden forest is forbidden, don't go there. Quidditch tryouts are next week. Captains are as follows. Gryffindor Potter Hufflepuff Filch-Fletchy Slytherin Malfoy Ravenclaw Jennings
New teachers will be Katie Bell for transfiguration and Remus Lupin for DADA. Once a month however Professor Snape will be conducting his class.
Your Head Boy and Girl this year are Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger.
Prefects you know who you are please meet with your heads after you have taken the first years to the dorms.
Classes will begin in two days time.
Enjoy your meal." She then picked up the sorting hat and made her way out of the Great hall followed closely by Professor Snape.
In the headmasters office she began by saying "Severus we have a problem." "I figured as much Minerva." he said. "Did you hear the song the sorting hat sang? Did it seem at all familiar to you?" she asked. "A little. Sounded somewhat like a fairytale my mother would tell me." "That's exactly what it was and old wizarding fairy tale. It seems to me that this fairy tale was based on fact and what we have here may be history repeating itself." She stated.
"Just what we need now." said Snape. "Do you think the hero is Harry Potter?"
"Honestly Severus I do not. Though I do not have any alternative suggestions. That's not all either."
"Never is." he mumbled.
McGonagall ignored this and continued. "That boy Aaron Keller. The hat took an awful long time with him."
"The one sorted in to Gryffindor?"
"Yes, him. Did he look familiar to you?"
"A little; but you know how many wizarding families have come and gone form this school."
"He's not."
"Not what?"
"From a wizarding family. His family lives in America and are muggles."
"America? Then why is he at Hogwarts? Why wouldn't he go to our counterpart in the States?"
"It was Dumbledore's wish that he and his siblings attend here."
"Siblings? Muggleborns never have more than one child with wizarding abilities. Exactly how many are we talking about?"
"Five in total."
"Five? No way Minerva it has never happened. It can Never happen. That boy's family are not muggles."
"Exactly Severus, exactly. I have a feeling we will be seeing him soon."
I have decided to up the rating of this story to R. It was a suggestion by one of my readers because of the unsuitable language.
