" hey, wanna play chess?" Ron asked them. " I'll pass!' Hermione said. " me too!" Ginny chirped in. " I'll play with you." Harry said, wanting to show Harle how to play.
" Harry..." Harle murmured. " hmm?" Harry murmured in reply. " what would you do if I became a Slytherin?" Harle asked him.
" chuggachuggachugaaa...." The train goes on.
" what are you talking about Harle? Of course you will not be a Slytherin." Harry told her, getting annoyed about the subject. " but what if I am?" Harle asked again. " well, it is what you choose that the Sorting Hat obeys. A little free will is all you need." Harry sighed and replied. Harle became silent.
" ok, let's start! I'll play with the black pieces." Ron said while noticing Harry's annoyed face.
" but what if the hat gave me no choice?" Harle asked again, breaking Harry's concentration. He spun around to face her. Anger can be seen on his face.
" do you really want to be a Slytherin, Harle?!" He asked her, raising his voice a little. Harle was shocked to see him like this. she stared back at him angrily then vanished into thin air.
" oh shit!!" Harry cursed. " what did you do? She was just clarifying some things and you bite her head off!" Ron snapped at Harry. Hermione turned to look at Harry. " well, she's making it look that she really want to go to Slytherin!" Harry answered back. " idiot! She's trying to ease her fear that she might be off with the bad kind again!" Hermione suddenly retorted and hurriedly went outside the train to look for Harle. Ginny followed her immediately.
" Harry...you are the one closest to her...you are the only one who at least understand her. this is a crucial stage for her. she's trying to find her way to the right path...what you did now might make her turn off-course." Ron told him calmly. Without warning, Harry stood up and went outside to find her. " ch! See what love can do to you." Ron snorted.
Hermione continued looking for Harle inside the train. She went to every compartment she could see, even if Malfoy is occupying one of those, and asked if Harle was there. She even checked the cleaning compartment but still no Harle was found. She met up with Ginny at the hallway. A couple of students were watching.
" did you see her?" Hermione asked Ginny. " she's nowhere to be found." Ginny panted. Harry suddenly appeared behind her. " did you see her?" Harry asked them. " not yet, no thanks to you." Hermione snapped at him. " damn!" Harry cursed. They continued looking for her.
*
" so, how come you're here?" Harle asked. A black haired boy wearing spectacles looked up at her. " I was able to get out because of the explosion that happened after Lavos died." He told her and pushed his glasses up his nose. The wind was gushing against them as they sit on the roof of the train.
" how did that happened?" Harle asked him. " my dad and I were looking for equipments and we're selling it to get money. When we finished collecting mounds, we decided to go to Opassa Beach to retrieve our boat. When we came near a pink wormhole, everything was sucked up and we got included. We woke up in this world a year ago. Dad used the money that we got and tried to put up a business. It boomed and now he's sending me to wizard school." The boy told her. " so, your first time here?" Harle asked him. " yap..." The boy answered. " what house do you think you'd be in?" Harle asked him.
" I don't know...Hufflepuff, maybe." he answered. " many believed that I'll be a Slytherin." Harle told him. " maybe our mission is one main reason why you should be in Slytherin." The boy told her. Harle stared at his scholarly face. " you think I should be there to play decoy?" Harle asked him. " hey, you're the one good at that one. And besides, don't we believe that we should use what is closest to the enemy." The boy told her.
" I don't know..." Harle groaned and slumped backwards. Her black robes were being played by the wind vigorously. " hey, that boy I saw you with earlier..." the boy started. Harle's face saddened upon remembering what happen earlier.
" is he the one who would heal thy heart from pain caused by a solitary love?" he said poetically. Harle closed her eyes. " is he the one to replace the noble knight's place in your heart?" he asked again. " I hate it when you become so poetic all the sudden." Harle told him. the clear blue sky reigned above them.
" so how's the mission?" the boy asked her. the hard wind kept sweeping their hair. " mission? Oh! I can see that Glenn already reached you. so would you join us?" Harle got up and faced him. " come on! why would you think I'd attend Hogwarts if I refused to join?" the boy asked her. a smile crept in Harle's red lips and held her hand to the boy.
" to a new friendship and to the success of the Order's mission..." Harle said. the boy smiled and took her hand. " to a new, safe world." he said. another alliance was repaired and new allegiance was made...the broken pieces of the feared Radical Dreamers are starting to come together again. If possible, the Radical Dreamers shall rise from the depths of destruction to fight alongside men once more...under the powerful leadership of a new leader, the Dark Spawn, the Lunar Dragon, the jester, Harlequin Black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" where the hell is she?!" Harry demanded when they got back to their compartment. Hours slept by so fast and still no Harle was found.
" it's your fault, you know." Hermione told him. " shut up!" Harry snapped at her. it was already dark and in a few minutes, they will be at the station. " we need to see her before she hops off the train...I need to assure her that she doesn't have to fear going to whatever house she should be in!" Harry insisted. he felt very guilty, saying the things he said to Harle. What if she decided to go home?
The train started to slow down and Ron and Hermione pinned their prefect badges again. Harry was quite relieved that was not given such burden. There was the usual ramble inside the train when the students started to prepare for their departure. Even when the train stopped, Harle is nowhere to be seen.
' damn you Harry!!!!! you are one dead meat!!!!' Harry cursed himself as he and Luna got out of the compartment with Hedwig, Pig and Crookshanks.
" FI'ST YEA'S! FI'ST YEA'S!!!!! NEW 'OMERS!!! LINE UP HERE!!!" they heard Hagrid bellowed to the scared looking first years. When Harry was about to take a carriage for him and his friends when he saw Harle lining up with another boy in front of Hagrid. There are a couple of teens same their age with them.
" HARLE!!!" Harry yelled. He was about to ran towards her but their line already disappeared through the forest. " damn!" Harry cursed. " what's the matter, Harry?" Hermione asked when she and Ron got to him. " I saw her. she's with Hagrid now." Harry said sadly. " you mean Harle did not go home after all?" Ron asked hopefully. " yes but she's with another boy." Harry said sadly and climbed up the carriage.
" what? What boy?" Ron asked when he got up. " she just talking to another boy when I saw her fell in line." Harry said. " maybe she knew him when she got here." Hermione said. Harry's heart fell upon his stomach.
" I'm glad she did not go home." Ron said. Luna was still looking for Neville so he, Ron, Hermione and Ginny got the carriage all for themselves.
" did you remember the day Kid and the others left?" Ron asked them. " yeah?" Harry asked. " Orlha gave me some of those weird blue marbles and her old gloves." Ginny told them. " Glenn gave me some green marbles and a dagger." Ron told them. " Guile gave me yellow ones." Hermione told them. " and they said one common thing." Ron told him. " that we should use it to protect Harle." Harry suddenly said. before they could react, Luna and Neville climbed up to join them. " so I saw Harle with another boy, An acquaintance I guess?" Luna asked him. " I don't know." Harry said, glad that they came just on time.
The ride towards the castle was long and torturous for Harry. he wanted to see Harle again and tell her that everything would be ok, that's he'd be there no matter what.
They arrived at the castle doors with high spirits, excited to see the faces of their teachers that they missed for 2 good months. " look! Snape looked like the same slimeball that he is." They heard Dean Thomas said as they entered the castle door.
' It felt so good to be back!' Harry said. he felt his whole being was complete that moment he stepped inside Hogwarts. They went inside the Great Hall and took their seats. Harry saw Malfoy staring at him and he held his gaze. Malfoy gave with an evil smile and turned away. Harry felt that something is not right in the way he smiled. it looked like he's planning something bad.
He could see Professor Flitwick talking to Professor Sprout while Professor Snape talking to Professor Dumbledore and to their surprise, a familiar face was seated on the chair intended for the teacher of Defense Against Dark Arts, the vibrant-looking Remus J. Lupin. there were a sudden gush of murmurs around the Great Hall, some pointing at his while some are practically looking scared.
" why didn't he tell us that he's coming back?" Hermione asked Harry. " don't look at me! I know nothing about this!" Harry defended himself. " isn't he a werewolf?" Colin Creevey said, looking pale. " no, you don't understand, Colin. He's changed." Harry told him. the ramble died down when the scared-looking first years and new students came inside in a single file.
Harry squinted to look for Harle and he saw her. she was standing by the end of the first years, looking pale and the boy that she was with was at the back. Harry's blood boiled. ' who's that guy?!' his mind demanded.
Malfoy on the other side of the table was busy staring at Harle. ' she's a pretty little thing. And I want her...I wanna see defeat in Harry's eyes when he finds out that I hooked up with his girl.' he thought with an evil grin.
" look! There she is!" Ron pointed. " I know." Harry murmured. The Sorting Hat was placed on a stool in the middle of the hall. Professor McGonagall took out a roll of parchment. Before she could say anything, the Sorting Hat cleared it's throat (if there is one) and started to sign. It made Harle jolt for a moment.
When the world was still new,
And the magical civilization is still growing.
The founders of this institution made me
In pure purpose, that is for Sorting.
To choose who's who to enter their
Noble houses with marks of their greatness
To choose who has the will, nerve,
Passion and loyalty that will give them success
Four houses was build
In honor of the great four
Four houses that are made in unity
With a mighty core.
Together they build this school
And they fulfilled their dreams
Together they will teach and train young
Magicians until they gleam.
Not one can find a finer friendship
That of Slytherin and Gryffindor
Or with Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw,
How can you ask for more?
But they took kinds of their own
To teach and mold
One chose the witty and the other anyone willing is
called.
The other took what he thinks are pure
The other took the gallant, that's for sure.
But schemes of their own got
Them all divided
That even one said his departure was decided.
This will drifts until
The breaking dawn of this day,
It is all in me and on the
Stool where I lay.
Now stand firm to what
The founders had instilled in you
That the four houses must unite
When here comes another time of woe.
I was made by our founders
To do one special biding,
That I may sort you into their houses
Until of such great timing.
Our world is on the brink
Of yet another war
That only you, young people
Could defend its life so far.
We must unite in love
Or we'll be scattered by destiny
We must unite inside and trust
In love and in unity.
Souls from where immortals were
Afraid of tarrying
That would helps us
Win this war and start a new beginning
Souls that could wreck havoc
Upon the Middle Earth
Like wild fire seizing a forest,
Like fired turning woods into ashes in the hearth.
Be vigilant,
Be brave, young people
So that our beloved Hogwarts would not crumble.
The second warning was given
And I hope you got it all within,
Not let the Sorting begin.
The hat went rigid and the Great Hall erupted with applause. ' another warning...' Harry murmured. ' No one can stop the war now.' Malfoy mused.
Professor McGonagall started calling out names. " Aelton, Avery!" she called and a sandy-hair boy stumbled towards the chair. She droned on and on until she called the last of the first years " Zorriander, Ivan!" she called and the boy became a Slytherin.
Everybody was quiet and was staring at the four teenagers that were left standing. Harry was praying hard that Harle become a Gryffindor. Professor McGonagall took another piece of parchment.
' I'm sad but I know where you should be in, Harle. It's not your fault...but still I hope you would understand. We need to use what's the closest to the enemy.' Professor Dumbledore mused while staring at Harle's pale figure. ' Sirius, if you would only see you daughter today...she might go off with the wrong kind.' Lupin thought.
" ok, for students starting on higher year levels..." Professor McGonagall started.
' let's see what's gonna happen with Black's daughter..." Snape thought.
Everybody was silent because Harlequin was first in line. " Black, Harlequin!!" Professor McGonagall called and a wave of murmured passed around the hall.
" Black. You mean her father is the murderer, Sirius Black?" somebody asked. " Harry, you did not tell us that she's Black's daughter! Is she?" Neville asked Harry, looking scared. Harry's heart fell upon his stomach. Malfoy was stunned. Harle walked with her head up high towards the stool and placed the Sorting Hat upon her head.
" for heaven's sake, please..." Both Harry and Malfoy prayed. The spectacled boy just stared at her.
" hmm...this is interesting..." the Sorting Hat murmured. ' why interesting?' Harle asked silently. " it is all written in you head but something contradicts it." the Sorting Hat failed. ' I don't want to go to Slytherin but if that's what fate wants..." Harle replied. " Fate...yes it is fate...maybe this decision could be a great help to you...Fate has a firm grasp on you, you know. you are the hardest one to decided on." The Sorting Hat said.
" come on!!!!!!!" Harry sighed.
' I thought I was all over...I thought Fate doesn't have a grasp on me anymore.' Harle thought, trying to calm herself down. " it is in every part of your being...now, where to put you?" the hat asked. " like what they said, the perfect weapon against your enemy is the one closest to it.' Harle mused. She had already accepted the fact that she is destined to be there...that the Dragons did not release her totally.
" ok, I'll put you in..." there was suspense. " damn it!" Harry cursed. " if he takes another minute, I'll tear him up." Malfoy murmured.
" SLYTHERIN!!!!!!" the Sorting Hat announced and the whole Slytherin table cheered. The rest of the houses were stunned, if not, they moan in frustration.
" damn it!!!!! damn it!!!!" Harry cursed. " Harry, calm down!" Hermione gasped, seeing Harry punching the table. Ron looked at Malfoy sourly. He was grinning ear-to-ear and even welcomed Harle to the table when she got off the stool.
Harle was very pale. She looked like blood ran out in her. she stared longingly at the spectacled boy and he just nodded. Harle took the seat that Malfoy offered to her and started at Harry pleadingly.
" what have I done?!" Harry covered his face in anguish. " Griffin, Clark!" Professor McGonagall continued. A blonde boy put the hat on and became a Hufflepuff. The spectacled boy was next in line.
" here comes the boy she was with earlier." Ron told Harry. he looked at and saw him. " Isengard, Van!" Professor McGonagall called and the spectacled boy stepped up. it took a few minutes before the Sorting Hat can decide.
" GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!"
there was an uproar especially from the girls. Harry lost his appetite. The last girl, Hannah Malcolm became a Ravenclaw.
Professor Dumbledore stood up to say his annual start of the school year speech. Everybody was looking at him except for Harle who was off to another space and time.
" This year is marked to be a new beginning...Hogwarts is starting to accept students for higher levels and we're going to be with another old friend..." he said.
' damn you, FATE. I thought you've let me go! Damn you!' Harle's mind was in turmoil.
" I am glad to announce that because of a Major breakthrough in potion- making, we have our dear Professor Remus J. Lupin back!" Professor Dumbledore announced. Professor Lupin stood up and bowed to the crowd. As usual, only the Gryffindors are the ones excited to see him again.
' I thought I was not the arbiter...why? I thought you freed me? Do I need to live all my life in the shadows? I thought you and the dragons decided to give me my freedom, my own free will?' Harle continued to muse.
" because of a potion named Anti-morphology potion, our beloved Professor Lupin is cured. It has been tested and his transformation was absent for this past two months. So I believe there is no need for you to live in fear." Professor Dumbledore said.
" ch! maybe he'll changed in the middle of the night and grab us all while we're sleeping." Malfoy snorted. Some of the Slytherins chuckled.
" I hate you Malfoy. Look at his dog face, grinning like a mad dog..." Ron snorted. " and for this year, we will have our first ever Student-Teacher Talent Show to be held this November. You should prepare for this." Professor Dumbledore said. there was a hush throughout the hall.
' If Serge was here, I would be free. If he was here...' Harle thought, wishing that Kid were with her right now.
" every house must produce two talent to show to us all. inter-house talent shows are accepted." The old professor said.
' is this why they made Sprigg my care-taker? I thought I was a dragon. I thought I have the power to choose what I want.' Harle told herself.
" but behind all of this, is one goal..." Professor Dumbledore paused and looked at Harry. " that goal is to unite the houses together to fight the gloom that Voldemort is about to unleash." He said Harle looked up at him for the first time while a wave of murmurs swept through the hall. " it is true. We should be bound by love, not scattered by destiny. Be vigilant, my students, for Hogwarts shall fight to the death once darkness tried to conquer us." the old man paused and sighed.
' I am going to be a decoy. That's what I'm suppose to be all my life.' Harle concluded in her mind.
" how could he look so calm?" Harry asked Hermione while looking at Professor Dumbledore. " Harry, Dumbledore has his own ways that we cannot understand. Maybe Harle became a Slytherin for a reason." Hermione told him. " that is not a legible reason!" Harry snapped at her. his chest heaved against the breastplate that Harle gave him as a gift. He had worn it since his birthday.
" so, I may say, tuck in!" Professor Dumbledore said the everyone started to enjoy the feast.
A/N: so long!!!!!!!! I hope you liked it. I know that the poem was crap but please bear with me. I'm not that good in forced-topic poems you know. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!

Everybody was quiet and was staring at the four teenagers that were left standing. Harry was praying hard that Harle become a Gryffindor. Professor McGonagall took another piece of parchment.
' I'm sad but I know where you should be in, Harle. It's not your fault...but still I hope you would understand. We need to use what's the closest to the enemy.' Professor Dumbledore mused while staring at Harle's pale figure. ' Sirius, if you would only see you daughter today...she might go off with the wrong kind.' Lupin thought.
" ok, for students starting on higher year levels..." Professor McGonagall started.
' let's see what's gonna happen with Black's daughter..." Snape thought.
Everybody was silent because Harlequin was first in line. " Black, Harlequin!!" Professor McGonagall called and a wave of murmured passed around the hall.
" Black. You mean her father is the murderer, Sirius Black?" somebody asked. " Harry, you did not tell us that she's Black's daughter! Is she?" Neville asked Harry, looking scared. Harry's heart fell upon his stomach. Malfoy was stunned. Harle walked with her head up high towards the stool and placed the Sorting Hat upon her head.
" for heaven's sake, please..." Both Harry and Malfoy prayed. The spectacled boy just stared at her.
" hmm...this is interesting..." the Sorting Hat murmured. ' why interesting?' Harle asked silently. " it is all written in you head but something contradicts it." the Sorting Hat failed. ' I don't want to go to Slytherin but if that's what fate wants..." Harle replied. " Fate...yes it is fate...maybe this decision could be a great help to you...Fate has a firm grasp on you, you know. you are the hardest one to decided on." The Sorting Hat said.
" come on!!!!!!!" Harry sighed.
' I thought I was all over...I thought Fate doesn't have a grasp on me anymore.' Harle thought, trying to calm herself down. " it is in every part of your being...now, where to put you?" the hat asked. " like what they said, the perfect weapon against your enemy is the one closest to it.' Harle mused. She had already accepted the fact that she is destined to be there...that the Dragons did not release her totally.
" ok, I'll put you in..." there was suspense. " damn it!" Harry cursed. " if he takes another minute, I'll tear him up." Malfoy murmured.
" SLYTHERIN!!!!!!" the Sorting Hat announced and the whole Slytherin table cheered. The rest of the houses were stunned, if not, they moan in frustration.
" damn it!!!!! damn it!!!!" Harry cursed. " Harry, calm down!" Hermione gasped, seeing Harry punching the table. Ron looked at Malfoy sourly. He was grinning ear-to-ear and even welcomed Harle to the table when she got off the stool.
Harle was very pale. She looked like blood ran out in her. she stared longingly at the spectacled boy and he just nodded. Harle took the seat that Malfoy offered to her and started at Harry pleadingly.
" what have I done?!" Harry covered his face in anguish. " Griffin, Clark!" Professor McGonagall continued. A blonde boy put the hat on and became a Hufflepuff. The spectacled boy was next in line.
" here comes the boy she was with earlier." Ron told Harry. he looked at and saw him. " Isengard, Van!" Professor McGonagall called and the spectacled boy stepped up. it took a few minutes before the Sorting Hat can decide.
" GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!"
there was an uproar especially from the girls. Harry lost his appetite. The last girl, Hannah Malcolm became a Ravenclaw.
Professor Dumbledore stood up to say his annual start of the school year speech. Everybody was looking at him except for Harle who was off to another space and time.
" This year is marked to be a new beginning...Hogwarts is starting to accept students for higher levels and we're going to be with another old friend..." he said.
' damn you, FATE. I thought you've let me go! Damn you!' Harle's mind was in turmoil.
" I am glad to announce that because of a Major breakthrough in potion- making, we have our dear Professor Remus J. Lupin back!" Professor Dumbledore announced. Professor Lupin stood up and bowed to the crowd. As usual, only the Gryffindors are the ones excited to see him again.
' I thought I was not the arbiter...why? I thought you freed me? Do I need to live all my life in the shadows? I thought you and the dragons decided to give me my freedom, my own free will?' Harle continued to muse.
" because of a potion named Anti-morphology potion, our beloved Professor Lupin is cured. It has been tested and his transformation was absent for this past two months. So I believe there is no need for you to live in fear." Professor Dumbledore said.
" ch! maybe he'll changed in the middle of the night and grab us all while we're sleeping." Malfoy snorted. Some of the Slytherins chuckled.
" I hate you Malfoy. Look at his dog face, grinning like a mad dog..." Ron snorted. " and for this year, we will have our first ever Student-Teacher Talent Show to be held this November. You should prepare for this." Professor Dumbledore said. there was a hush throughout the hall.
' If Serge was here, I would be free. If he was here...' Harle thought, wishing that Kid were with her right now.
" every house must produce two talent to show to us all. inter-house talent shows are accepted." The old professor said.
' is this why they made Sprigg my care-taker? I thought I was a dragon. I thought I have the power to choose what I want.' Harle told herself.
" but behind all of this, is one goal..." Professor Dumbledore paused and looked at Harry. " that goal is to unite the houses together to fight the gloom that Voldemort is about to unleash." He said Harle looked up at him for the first time while a wave of murmurs swept through the hall. " it is true. We should be bound by love, not scattered by destiny. Be vigilant, my students, for Hogwarts shall fight to the death once darkness tried to conquer us." the old man paused and sighed.
' I am going to be a decoy. That's what I'm suppose to be all my life.' Harle concluded in her mind.
" how could he look so calm?" Harry asked Hermione while looking at Professor Dumbledore. " Harry, Dumbledore has his own ways that we cannot understand. Maybe Harle became a Slytherin for a reason." Hermione told him. " that is not a legible reason!" Harry snapped at her. his chest heaved against the breastplate that Harle gave him as a gift. He had worn it since his birthday.
" so, I may say, tuck in!" Professor Dumbledore said the everyone started to enjoy the feast.
