Chapter 1
Home Again
A Fairy's Tale; a Wizard's hidden Prophecy
Dumbledore drummed his fingers impatiently on his desk as if he were expecting something, it was unlike him to be impatient after all he was a man of patience. He shifted his weight once again he huffed impatiently. He was trying to remember why he was being impatient.
'Aha!' it dawned on him, 'it's a New Year! Yes...' he smiled proudly at himself then he frowned again. There was something else on his mind he stared hard at his desk, which was now covered with several books, a pile of papers and broken or used quills all over. Then he heard a tinkling sound of a bell. He looked up to find a bright shiny light floating right in front of one of the old professor's photos. He scratched his long white beard while thinking. The bright light turned to him and tinkled making zigzag moves across the room. Then it landed right in front of Dumbledore it's bright shiny face grinning up at him as if it had drank a gallon of coffee.
"What is it little fairy? What news do you bring to me?" he asked softly.
The little being lifted her hands into the air and sprinkled some fairy dust then she went into a trance like state her arms lifted up and eyes blank but open bits of fairy dust scattering everywhere. With a small chant like voice she sang,
"I have good new, old man you see,
From the fairy realm to thee!
For hope is not at all lost, for we,
Bring you a golden prophecy.
'Twas a child brought in not long ago,
Bright red hair and eyes that glow!
Of a maiden you used to know,
Who was filled with grief and woe.
For she had many boys, not one,
Of which was not a girl but sons.
Then an enchantment that could not be undone
For she had been the chosen one.
So there's the riddle we give to thee,
For none know whom, but we.
The child; the daughter that is to be,
The one who shall save the prophecy.
So hear me now for what you want to know,
For I shan't repeat the song, so
'Twas a phoenix egg was bestown
Upon a maiden filled with woe.
A full nine months and then she came,
Now nothing would ever be the same.
A Phoenix child, the only one, is she
Feisty brave and yet to be.
A family of seven, the youngest only girl is she,
A treasure in her family.
Made for a purpose with hair of flame,
For Ginny Weasley is her name."
Dumbledore gasped.
"But that's not all there is to know,
For the Phoenix child shall take your sorrow.
For when the Dark Lord's end is near
The Raven shall need the Phoenix tear." With a loud pop and a gust of fairy dust clouds the fairy vanished leaving behind an ecstatic Dumbledore. He stood up from his desk and flattened out his robes slowly he walked out of his office with a giddy happiness floating in him.
Ginny's back!
Harry Potter and his best friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley sat comfortably in their compartment talking about Harry's new home and how grateful the Dursley's were when he was leaving. They were laughing about the time when Harry put a canary cream the Weasley twins sent him in Dudley's chocolate box when Malfoy and his two big fat body guards stepped in.
"Then feathers sprouted out of his arse and his big fat arms and he looked like a giant bird with a pair of rubber ducky jimjams on!" Harry laughed.
"Well, well if it isn't Potter and his friends laughing happily." Draco said sneering at the three seventeen year olds that sat. Ron stood up but Hermione pulled him back. Harry lifted his wand threateningly at Draco and his friends.
"Well, well it looks as if Potter is threatening me." Draco drawled expertly. "Well I better head back I have more important things to do. Than pick a fight with Potty and the Weasel and their mudblood girlfriend."
"Ooohh..." Hermione huffed just as they were about to hex him a tall tan girl with long reddish copper hair which was tied into a high ponytail with short loose strands falling over her face who wore a fitted tank and flared jeans. She puckered her glossy lips and smiled.
"Well, well if it isn't the ferret?" she raised her perfectly shaped eyebrow and smirked, "Still prancing around picking on people? How very mature of you." She said sarcastically. Just then two girls stepped right beside her tan and tall one with layered jet black hair and blue eyes with big black iris' and the other had sandy blonde/brown hair and blue eyes but her iris' were small so small that you could hardly see it.
"This is Draco Malfoy?" the black haired one asked crossing her arms.
"The very same one with the pug faced dog looking girlfriend?" the other asked.
"Well, well if it isn't the littlest Weasley back from ol' muggle town?" he asked making fun of America.
"I wouldn't make fun of it if I were you Mister big shot?!" the sandy brown/blonde haired one said.
"Your mouth does that fishy thing and you have weird accents." Crabbe said thoughtfully.
"Is that your stomach? Or did you swallow a globe?" the black haired one asked. Hermione, Harry and Ron burst into a fitful of giggles and snorts.
"Hey!" Goyle said hurt, "I'm not fat."
"Your not?" The sandy haired one said laughing.
"I'm in shape." He said defensively.
"Yeah," The girl with the darker hair smiled widely, "round's a shape."
"Nobody makes a fool of me." Draco said as he watched Crabbe and Goyle walk out rather dejectedly.
"Yeah," Ginny nodded sadly, "You can do that all by yourself."
"You better watch that perfect mouth of yours Carrot top." He said threatening her.
"Your mouth is the perfect size" she said smiling at him, "For your foot!" she laughed out loud at the look that washed over his face.
"Drakie! Oh Drakie!" a high pitched annoying voice called out.
"Speaking of the dog, your puppy is calling you!" The sandy brown haired one said jerking her thumb.
"Oh Drakie!" Ginny said this to irritate him, "You know I hate saying "Good-bye" but in your case I'd do it gladly!" she pinched his cheek and smiled at him his face turned red, "Buh-bye!" she said waving her hand in front of his face.
"Woof! Woof!" the black haired one barked at him while winking at him.
"Oy! Gin, where were you this morning? Mum's been waiting." Ron said addressing his sister.
"I've been busy! Anyway I saw her before I got on the train. Hi Harry, Hi Hermione." She said sitting across them, "This is Zoë Walters and Blair Kennedy I actually convinced them to move to Hogwarts." She said crossing her perfectly tanned legs.
"More like forced us." Blair said sitting beside her.
"Actually more like dared us." Zoë said tugging on her sandy brown/ blonde strand and tucking it neatly behind her ear.
"Zo and Bee this is my brother Ron and his best friends Harry Potter and Hermione Granger."
"Far out! Bee it's Harry P. the Harry P." Zoë said excitedly.
"Hype!" Blair said smiling, "We've heard millions 'bout you guys the awesome trio and when Ginger here came. We so totally did not believe that she knew the Harry P. and he saved her in the C.S."
"Hype? Far Out? C.S? Ginger?" Ron asked questioningly. Hermione laughed at his reaction. Then her smile faded when Blair reached out and pinched his cheek.
"I so totally adore your accents!" Zoë gushed.
"Cool, amazing, Chamber of Secrets. Ginny that's what we call her, she spicy back home. All the guys were head over heels." Blair said sitting back.
"Ohmygod! Don't bring it up please!" Ginny said her accent still thick.
"Remember when Spike went up to her and tried to get her num?" Blair said laughing, "It was hilarious!"
"Uhm, hey! Can I get yo' digits?" he asked and Ginger was all like "Pardon? I don't think I can give you fingers." It was totally outrageously funny!" Zoë said clapping her on the back.
"You mean you've been going out?" Ron asked.
"You have a boy friend?" Hermione spoke up smiling at her. Harry was still stunned at how different Ginny looked.
"She had and oh my! He was the hottest, and so DDG and 2DF!" Blair said laughing at Ginny's embarrassed face.
Zoë noticed the questionable looks that played on Harry, Ron and Hermione's faces.
"Drop dead gorgeous and 2 die for." Zoë explained.
"Oh.." Hermione said smiling at her.
"You had a boyfriend? Wait 'til mum and the rest hear about this."
"Oh Ickle Ronniekins! They know, besides it's not like they were getting married. Ginge is a big girl now and she can take care of herself." Blair said smiling at him. Ron went profusely red and Hermione gritted her teeth. Blair noticed this and grinned, "Are you guys steady? I mean going out?"
"Us. No, of course not. How silly!" Hermione said placing a hand on the base of her neck.
"We're just friends.." Ron whispered nodding his head. Harry rolled his eyes.
"Yeah." Blair nodded.
"Right." Zoë said smiling.
"Friends." Ginny grinned.
"With benefits." They whispered at the same time.
"Benefits?!" Ron and Hermione demanded.
"Nothing. So Harry. Your quiet." Blair said turning to him.
"Well, it's not like I have much to talk about." Harry shrugged, "I'm not very interesting."
"Well, the way we hear it you have to be interesting or we'll kill Ginny." Zoë said snorting.
"ZO!" Ginny said through gritted teeth.
"He's just being all wishy-washy because he misses Cho." Ron said simply.
"Ron." Hermione said nudging him.
"Oh Cho?" Blair said nodding her head.
"Oh ho ho! Cho." Zoë said nodding her head. "The Cho?"
"Oh... Cho... hasn't she graduated yet?" Ginny asked Harry.
"She had to stay another year because she left in the middle of her sixth year." Harry explained.
"Oh. So she's like your batch mate now?" Blair asked.
"What?"
"Batch mate, year level." Zoë explained.
"Oh. Yes. I suppose so."
"Oh. This is going to be a very interesting year." Blair said turning to face Ginny and Zoë., "I repeat very, very interesting." She wiggled her eyebrows and Zoë snickered. Blair turned to face the window and grinned. Zoë faced the glass door of the compartment and bit back her laughter. Ginny, well Ginny became very interested in her hands.
"Well we better get dressed." Ginny said speaking up grabbing her small backpack.
"It's still another thirty min. 'til Hogwarts." Zoë complained.
"IDK and IDC two of you." Ginny said threateningly, "Now. Pronto," the two grinned up at her with innocent smiles playing over their faces. Ginny huffed impatiently and pulled the two of them up by their arms and threw their backpacks at them.
"We'll see ya 'round." Blair said wiggling her eyebrows.
"Bye!" Zoë said walking out following Ginny.
As soon as the three girls were out of sight Hermione sighed. Ron and Harry looked at her.
"She's changed. That was weird." She said, "Surreal, funny but weird."
"She's all grown up." Harry said simply.
"Yeah and I wasn't even there to see it happen!" Ron huffed.
"Oh Ron!" Hermione and Harry laughed at him.
New Students and First Year Sorting
They all piled in and walked into the Great Hall while Harry and the others went to sit down at the Hogwarts Table Ginny and her friends walked up to where the teachers were sitting and stood in front of the first years. In front of them the sorting hat sat on a chair, it had stitches and looked worn out.
"'Tis a New Year beginning,
Full of events up ahead.
So pick me up and place me
Upon your thoughtful heads.
Do not be frightened
For I do not bite
I decide your house
In which you will reside.
Shall you be Gryffindor?
Brave, with noble hearts
Or will you reside in Ravenclaw?
Always at the top of the Charts
Or maybe in Hufflepuff,
Those who're honest and true.
Or if you are cunning
Slytherin's for you.
So fear not little one's or those who are new
For it is I, the sorting hat who'll decide what's best for you."
Ginny nudged Blair who nudged Zoë. Zoë smiled nervously up at Professor McGonagall and walked up to the chair and sat folding her hand on her lap as she fiddled with her bright red painted nails. Professor McGonagall smiled and placed the hat on her head. Then with its small voice it sang,
"Hmm... A new student I see
What's your name? Ah fair Zoë!
Zoë Walters an American child
So shy to others but yet so wild.
Now where should I put you oh where oh where?
Should you be in Gryffindor the ones who really care?
Or maybe in Ravenclaw for you are truly bright
What did you say? Out of sight?
Hmm.. very complicated one I see...
Ravenclaw is the best for thee!"
Ginny clapped, even if her friend was of a different house they all knew perfectly well that there were no such thing as replacements. Blair was the one who was nervous of the three for she knew where the hat would place her, she bit her lip and looked at Ginny.
"Bee, even if they put you there, you will always have me and Zoë here alright. I'll bat-bogey hex them to the next millenium and you're brave. They can't stand a chance at your rhetoric." Ginny said smiling. Zoë hugged her friend and laughed.
"Another American girl I see,
Blair Kennedy from Hemet Valley,
Aha, now this one is confusing,
You are the first student, how amusing
You have wit and a cunning mind
Fit for Slytherin and their kind
You thrive hard and you are wise
I can see Ravenclaw in your eyes.
You are thoughtful honest and true
Hufflepuff is fit for you.
But Lo and behold for you are brave and tough
Is Gryffindor quite good enough?
Now where should I put you, should I split you into four?
Hmmm.... Wait there is more. You are clever, cunning, brave and loyal but what house should I put you
in.
Hmmm... look at those dreaded faces for Blair, you belong in SLYTHERIN!"
The Slytherin table clapped wildly except for Draco who had an amused
smile stretched out on his face. Blair puffed her cheeks up and walked
over to Ginny and Zoë.
"Well, would you fancy that?" Ginny asked.
"Three best friends." Zoë smiled.
"Three different houses." Blair grinned.
"See tomorrow aight?" Ginny said grinning at her friends giving
them a kiss on the cheek before heading towards her table. She
promptly sat down next to Harry not noticing the looks on her friends
and brother's faces.
"Hmm..." Ginny asked looking at her friends.
"Nothing." Ron mumbled.
"So who was that guy you were supposedly going uhm..." Hermione
said thoughtfully, "how do you say it?"
"Dating?" she asked. Hermione nodded, "It's Taylor Johanssen.
T.J. he's my year level only he's seventeen."
"He repeated?" Ron asked shocked.
"No you dolt. His birthday falls on October. It's quite hard to
explain really." She said sadly, "Well when he found out I was leaving
California and coming back here. He spent the whole summer with me in
Aunt Moira's house." She bit her lip and blushed, "It was kind of
cute, well... I absolutely loved him but I don't think I was cut out for
a long distance relationship. So we ended things there and then at the
airport. It's funny really. Haha.. but he said he'd visit me over
Christmas break and meet the fam. And most of all the rents."
"Fam? Rents? Ginny what's with all these nonsense gab?" Ron
asked still kind of upset.
"Oh Ron don't get your undies up in a knot. Family, Parents... Get
it?" Ginny said, "Come on Ron, don't be upset I thought mum and dad
told you. I'm sorry alright."
"Fine. It just takes sometime getting used to your... How do you
call it? "English SLANG" it's really hard, I suppose I missed you."
Ron said awkwardly.
"Oh..." Ginny gushed making Harry and Hermione grin, "I missed you
to Ron, it was actually kind of weird not having you scolding me and
saying, "Oy! Ginny that boy is too old for you, and he's a bloody
git!" I missed you guys dreadfully." She admitted while mocking her
brother.
They laughed and with a soft pop there was food on the table
and from a distance they heard two voices squeal.
"Hype!"
Ginny shook her head and began eating. From a distance
Dumbledore watched Ginny with an amused smile on his face.
"Minerva, this shall be an interesting year." He concluded.
"Yes, headmaster. Fancy that? Three friends in three different
houses." She smiled and began eating her broccoli.
"Are you on a diet Minerva?" Dumbledore asked.
McGonagall blushed profusely and shrugged, "Don't you think it's
time for one of your announcements."
"Oh.. yes. Children!" Dumbledore said getting and clapping his
hands all turned to him with smiles on their faces (with the exception
of some Slytherins). "Gobbledygook, Scaramouch, blatherskite and I
don't know what's. Once again Forbidden Forest is forbidden that is
why we gave it that name so if I were you, be smart and LAY OFF!" he
smiled and the Hogwarts students laughed and clapped (again with the
exception of some Slytherins).

Ginny's back!
Harry Potter and his best friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley sat comfortably in their compartment talking about Harry's new home and how grateful the Dursley's were when he was leaving. They were laughing about the time when Harry put a canary cream the Weasley twins sent him in Dudley's chocolate box when Malfoy and his two big fat body guards stepped in.
"Then feathers sprouted out of his arse and his big fat arms and he looked like a giant bird with a pair of rubber ducky jimjams on!" Harry laughed.
"Well, well if it isn't Potter and his friends laughing happily." Draco said sneering at the three seventeen year olds that sat. Ron stood up but Hermione pulled him back. Harry lifted his wand threateningly at Draco and his friends.
"Well, well it looks as if Potter is threatening me." Draco drawled expertly. "Well I better head back I have more important things to do. Than pick a fight with Potty and the Weasel and their mudblood girlfriend."
"Ooohh..." Hermione huffed just as they were about to hex him a tall tan girl with long reddish copper hair which was tied into a high ponytail with short loose strands falling over her face who wore a fitted tank and flared jeans. She puckered her glossy lips and smiled.
"Well, well if it isn't the ferret?" she raised her perfectly shaped eyebrow and smirked, "Still prancing around picking on people? How very mature of you." She said sarcastically. Just then two girls stepped right beside her tan and tall one with layered jet black hair and blue eyes with big black iris' and the other had sandy blonde/brown hair and blue eyes but her iris' were small so small that you could hardly see it.
"This is Draco Malfoy?" the black haired one asked crossing her arms.
"The very same one with the pug faced dog looking girlfriend?" the other asked.
"Well, well if it isn't the littlest Weasley back from ol' muggle town?" he asked making fun of America.
"I wouldn't make fun of it if I were you Mister big shot?!" the sandy brown/blonde haired one said.
"Your mouth does that fishy thing and you have weird accents." Crabbe said thoughtfully.
"Is that your stomach? Or did you swallow a globe?" the black haired one asked. Hermione, Harry and Ron burst into a fitful of giggles and snorts.
"Hey!" Goyle said hurt, "I'm not fat."
"Your not?" The sandy haired one said laughing.
"I'm in shape." He said defensively.
"Yeah," The girl with the darker hair smiled widely, "round's a shape."
"Nobody makes a fool of me." Draco said as he watched Crabbe and Goyle walk out rather dejectedly.
"Yeah," Ginny nodded sadly, "You can do that all by yourself."
"You better watch that perfect mouth of yours Carrot top." He said threatening her.
"Your mouth is the perfect size" she said smiling at him, "For your foot!" she laughed out loud at the look that washed over his face.
"Drakie! Oh Drakie!" a high pitched annoying voice called out.

"Right." Zoë said smiling.
"Friends." Ginny grinned.
"With benefits." They whispered at the same time.
"Benefits?!" Ron and Hermione demanded.
"Nothing. So Harry. Your quiet." Blair said turning to him.
"Well, it's not like I have much to talk about." Harry shrugged, "I'm not very interesting."
"Well, the way we hear it you have to be interesting or we'll kill Ginny." Zoë said snorting.
"ZO!" Ginny said through gritted teeth.
"He's just being all wishy-washy because he misses Cho." Ron said simply.
"Ron." Hermione said nudging him.
"Oh Cho?" Blair said nodding her head.
"Oh ho ho! Cho." Zoë said nodding her head. "The Cho?"
"Oh... Cho... hasn't she graduated yet?" Ginny asked Harry.
"She had to stay another year because she left in the middle of her sixth year." Harry explained.
"Oh. So she's like your batch mate now?" Blair asked.
"What?"
"Batch mate, year level." Zoë explained.
"Oh. Yes. I suppose so."
"Oh. This is going to be a very interesting year." Blair said turning to face Ginny and Zoë., "I repeat very, very interesting." She wiggled her eyebrows and Zoë snickered. Blair turned to face the window and grinned. Zoë faced the glass door of the compartment and bit back her laughter. Ginny, well Ginny became very interested in her hands.
"Well we better get dressed." Ginny said speaking up grabbing her small backpack.
"It's still another thirty min. 'til Hogwarts." Zoë complained.
"IDK and IDC two of you." Ginny said threateningly, "Now. Pronto," the two grinned up at her with innocent smiles playing over their faces. Ginny huffed impatiently and pulled the two of them up by their arms and threw their backpacks at them.
"We'll see ya 'round." Blair said wiggling her eyebrows.
"Bye!" Zoë said walking out following Ginny.
As soon as the three girls were out of sight Hermione sighed. Ron and Harry looked at her.
"She's changed. That was weird." She said, "Surreal, funny but weird."
"She's all grown up." Harry said simply.
"Yeah and I wasn't even there to see it happen!" Ron huffed.
"Oh Ron!" Hermione and Harry laughed at him.
New Students and First Year Sorting
They all piled in and walked into the Great Hall while Harry and the others went to sit down at the Hogwarts Table Ginny and her friends walked up to where the teachers were sitting and stood in front of the first years. In front of them the sorting hat sat on a chair, it had stitches and looked worn out.
"'Tis a New Year beginning,
Full of events up ahead.
So pick me up and place me
Upon your thoughtful heads.
Do not be frightened
For I do not bite
I decide your house
In which you will reside.
Shall you be Gryffindor?
Brave, with noble hearts
Or will you reside in Ravenclaw?
Always at the top of the Charts
Or maybe in Hufflepuff,
Those who're honest and true.
Or if you are cunning
Slytherin's for you.
So fear not little one's or those who are new
For it is I, the sorting hat who'll decide what's best for you."
Ginny nudged Blair who nudged Zoë. Zoë smiled nervously up at Professor McGonagall and walked up to the chair and sat folding her hand on her lap as she fiddled with her bright red painted nails. Professor McGonagall smiled and placed the hat on her head. Then with its small voice it sang,
"Hmm... A new student I see
What's your name? Ah fair Zoë!
Zoë Walters an American child
So shy to others but yet so wild.
Now where should I put you oh where oh where?
Should you be in Gryffindor the ones who really care?
Or maybe in Ravenclaw for you are truly bright
What did you say? Out of sight?
Hmm.. very complicated one I see...
Ravenclaw is the best for thee!"
Ginny clapped, even if her friend was of a different house they all knew perfectly well that there were no such thing as replacements. Blair was the one who was nervous of the three for she knew where the hat would place her, she bit her lip and looked at Ginny.
"Bee, even if they put you there, you will always have me and Zoë here alright. I'll bat-bogey hex them to the next millenium and you're brave. They can't stand a chance at your rhetoric." Ginny said smiling. Zoë hugged her friend and laughed.
"Another American girl I see,
Blair Kennedy from Hemet Valley,
Aha, now this one is confusing,
You are the first student, how amusing
You have wit and a cunning mind
Fit for Slytherin and their kind
You thrive hard and you are wise
I can see Ravenclaw in your eyes.
You are thoughtful honest and true
Hufflepuff is fit for you.
But Lo and behold for you are brave and tough
Is Gryffindor quite good enough?
Now where should I put you, should I split you into four?
Hmmm.... Wait there is more. You are clever, cunning, brave and loyal but what house should I put you
in.
Hmmm... look at those dreaded faces for Blair, you belong in SLYTHERIN!"
The Slytherin table clapped wildly except for Draco who had an amused
smile stretched out on his face. Blair puffed her cheeks up and walked
over to Ginny and Zoë.
"Well, would you fancy that?" Ginny asked.
"Three best friends." Zoë smiled.
"Three different houses." Blair grinned.
"See tomorrow aight?" Ginny said grinning at her friends giving
them a kiss on the cheek before heading towards her table. She
promptly sat down next to Harry not noticing the looks on her friends
and brother's faces.
"Hmm..." Ginny asked looking at her friends.
"Nothing." Ron mumbled.
"So who was that guy you were supposedly going uhm..." Hermione
said thoughtfully, "how do you say it?"
"Dating?" she asked. Hermione nodded, "It's Taylor Johanssen.
T.J. he's my year level only he's seventeen."
"He repeated?" Ron asked shocked.
"No you dolt. His birthday falls on October. It's quite hard to
explain really." She said sadly, "Well when he found out I was leaving
California and coming back here. He spent the whole summer with me in
Aunt Moira's house." She bit her lip and blushed, "It was kind of
cute, well... I absolutely loved him but I don't think I was cut out for
a long distance relationship. So we ended things there and then at the
airport. It's funny really. Haha.. but he said he'd visit me over
Christmas break and meet the fam. And most of all the rents."
"Fam? Rents? Ginny what's with all these nonsense gab?" Ron
asked still kind of upset.
"Oh Ron don't get your undies up in a knot. Family, Parents... Get
it?" Ginny said, "Come on Ron, don't be upset I thought mum and dad
told you. I'm sorry alright."
"Fine. It just takes sometime getting used to your... How do you
call it? "English SLANG" it's really hard, I suppose I missed you."
Ron said awkwardly.
"Oh..." Ginny gushed making Harry and Hermione grin, "I missed you
to Ron, it was actually kind of weird not having you scolding me and
saying, "Oy! Ginny that boy is too old for you, and he's a bloody
git!" I missed you guys dreadfully." She admitted while mocking her
brother.
They laughed and with a soft pop there was food on the table
and from a distance they heard two voices squeal.
"Hype!"
Ginny shook her head and began eating. From a distance
Dumbledore watched Ginny with an amused smile on his face.
"Minerva, this shall be an interesting year." He concluded.
"Yes, headmaster. Fancy that? Three friends in three different
houses." She smiled and began eating her broccoli.
"Are you on a diet Minerva?" Dumbledore asked.
McGonagall blushed profusely and shrugged, "Don't you think it's
time for one of your announcements."
"Oh.. yes. Children!" Dumbledore said getting and clapping his
hands all turned to him with smiles on their faces (with the exception
of some Slytherins). "Gobbledygook, Scaramouch, blatherskite and I
don't know what's. Once again Forbidden Forest is forbidden that is
why we gave it that name so if I were you, be smart and LAY OFF!" he
smiled and the Hogwarts students laughed and clapped (again with the
exception of some Slytherins).
