Chapter 8
"I'm not as intelligent as other hats,
But smart in other ways,
I'm not as white as a chef's grand cap,
Or chic as French berets.
But I can see the truth inside your head,
And read your thoughts you know,
So if you put me on right now,
I'll tell you where to go.
The path of Slytherin is hard,
For those who push for greatness higher,
This house is perfect for you id you wish
To pursue your heart's desire.
The choice is good for the house of Ravenclaw,
For those who like to learn,
If you are clever, quick and ready,
It's there you'll find your turn.
If you are patient, kind and true,
Then Hufflepuff's for you,
You'll fit right in, in this house if
You remain cheerful in all you do.
In Gryffindor you'll have to know,
Where all your loyalties lie,
You must always be courageous too,
And brave beyond the sky.
Don't try to hide a thing from me,
Because I can see it all,
So just sit back, relax as you
Sit down upon the stool and trust that you won't fall."
The Sorting Hat's song rang through the great hall and was followed by grand applause from the mass of excited students. Nervous first year's stool shakily in the center of the room, some were smiling and others looked as though they were about to paint the floor with vomit. Harry sat with his arms around Georgia, and his head rest on her shoulder. He didn't hear a word the Sorting Hat said as the new student were placed into the repective houses. He was giddy to hurry and start the new school year. It was going to be amazing, a new look and a new girl to share his adventures with. What could go wrong......besides Voldemort coming and destroying the world. Harry suddenly got really serious. He released his grip of Georgia's waist and turned to stare at his plate. He closed his eyes and tried to calm down before a shrill sound filled his head. Cruel laughter sounded and he clamped his hand to his head as his scar began to burn. Georgia looked at him with worry. She wrapped her arms around him and held him tight.
"What's wrong, Harry?" She said with worry. "Come on, what is it, you can tell me."
"It's...It's nothing. Really, love." He responded shakily. "I'm fine, really. I just need to eat something."
Harry lifted his hands and placed them over his plate, two blueberry muffins appeared. Georgia smiled and said, "I love it when you do that."
He picked one up and held it out for her. She reached for it but he pulled it back and leaned forward a little.
"Not yet," he said playfully, "you have to give me something first."
She giggled softly and grabbed his shirt, pulling him towards her into a passionate kiss, right in front of everyone.
"AHEM!" Professor Dumbledore cleared his throat loudly to catch the attention of the couple. "Mr. Potter, Ms. Roberts, if you two would be so kind as to keep the public displays of affection to a minimum during my little pre-school year speech, I would be very appreciative. Also, I would hate to have to allow Professor McGonagall to punish the two of you so early on."
"I'll take that into consideration, Professor!" Georgia replied, suprising the crowd with how outgoing she was for a new student.
Harry pecked her on the cheek and added, "What about after your speech, sir?"
The students laughed, but stopped quickly as Professor McGonagall stepped in and glared at Harry, "You better watch it you two." She warned.
Dumbledore continued with his speech, "Now, since she has drawn attention to herself already, I may as well introduce our new student. Everybody, this is Ms. Georgia Roberts. She will be in Gryffindor house, and if any of you would like to introduce yourself and make her feel welcome in a more appropriate way, unlike Mr. Potter, please feel free to do so later." Georgia stood and gave a little curtsy, then returned to her place by Harry. "Now," he continued, "to continue, jimble wimble fimble doo."
All of the plates were filled with food and the students feasted until they were close to passing out. Then they proceeded to the common rooms to sleep. Harry and Georgia left a little early in order to get a little alone time before the rush. They got the password from a prefect and ran towards their common room, laughing. On their way, however, they ran into Cho Chang. Georgia kept her mouth shut as Harry apologized. He stuttered and blushed and quickly pulled Georgia away.
They gave the password to their room 'Noogle-woogle' and collapsed on Harry's bed. Harry moved in to kiss her, but Georgia pulled away.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"That was her, wasn't it?" she responded.
"Who?"
"Cho Chang. That was her."
"Yeah, so?"
"So?! You were acting like some little schoolboy with a crush. It was like me when I first met Adam Brody!"
"Who's Adam Brody?!"
"Never mind him, he's and American actor. The point is, you still have feelings for her, don't you?"
"Look, I don't. It's just...well I didn't tell you the whole story of what happened last year."
"I have time..."
"I'm not as intelligent as other hats,
