Chapter 3- Uhhh
"Hi guys," said George putting away some candy and walking over to them.
"Like the new store?" asked his twin Fred.
"Wow!" cried Harry.
"Oh and we haven't forgotten about your little help Harry. You own one third of our store," said George.
Harry didn't hear them, he was too busy looking around. After they had bought their fill of jokes they headed outside to Flourish and Botts.
"Looks like all we need this year are books. That's odd," stated Hermione.
After buying all their books they happily headed to get Ice Cream. Once they sat down Hermione gave Harry a "lets tell him now," look and then turned to face Ron.
"Wad did I do now?" he asked with a mouth full of Ice Cream.
"Nothing. We were just wondering if you had a date for the first visit to Hogsmeade?" replied Hermione
"Oh yeah I was going to tell you guys. Parvati and I are going. I guess you guys will be on your own then," he stated.
Once they had eaten all the ice cream they could possibly scarf down they went back To W.W.W. (Weasley Wizard Wheezes) and portkeyed back to Hogwarts. Three days later the trio took the familiar route to the Great Hall. It was loud with the chattering of students catching up from over the summer. Professor McGonagall walked down the center and placed the sorting hat on the three-legged school. It opened its mouth and began to sing:
'As the day turns to night,
We must all as one, unite.
Fall apart and we'll surely fail,
Stand together and we will prevail.
I warned you last year; you took no heed,
Most of you disagreed.
If you don't listen I won't waste the time,
Making this long rhyme.
Godric and Salazar once were friends,
But everything at one point ends.
Rowena and Helga watched in despair,
As Slytherin left without a care.
I only hope that this year,
You understand my fear.
Now that my plea is through,
Let's see where I will place you.
"That was short," whispered Ron as Professor McGonagall got ready to call the first years.
"Violet Brown," she called as a Lavender mini-me walked nervously up to the sorting hat.
"Slytherin!" yelled the sorting hat.
"What!?" exclaimed Lavender incredulously.
"Mark Evans,"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
And so the sorting continued on and on until Dumbledore finally stood.
"I was going to go on with my usually start of term announcements, but it looks like Mr. Weasley is ready to eat so my announcements will have to wait. Let the feast begin." He said smiling warmly.
Immediately food appeared on the tables and everyone began eating. After they had all been well fed Dumbledore stood again.
"Now that we are fed I'd like to first announce that our new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher, due to certain circumstances will temporarily be me. Secondly I would like to remind all students that the Forbidden forest is as the name implies forbidden. Also Mr. Filch has updated his list of forbidden items to include ALL Weasley Wizard Wheezes items. Good Night."
Ron and Hermione hurried to lead the first years to the dormitories. They soon reached the Fat Lady.
"Password?" she asked.
"Bumblebee," said Hermione offhandedly.
They entered the common room and ran upstairs to get some sleep before NEWT classes the next morning.
