Chapter 6
Pansy's jealousy and the Sorting ceremony
"I found our boy." Sarah said with a smirk as she got in one of the carriages with Evie and Ray.
"You mean Harry Potter right?" Ray asked in confusion.
"Yes she means Harry Pot-Head!" Evie said whacking Ray upside the head with her hand.
"Potter.Pot-err come on say it with me Potter" Sarah said annoyed. "Hey Evie," Evie looked up at Sarah. "What the hell are those black winged things out there?! They're positively gross!"
"Oh those are Threstals.Hey who have you seen die?" Evie asked.
"Oh I saw my Grandpa die of cancer.Don't remember the cancer type though." Sarah started to ponder, and the carriage became silent as it was driven to the school.
~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny sat in their carriage, they too were silent. "I still don't get it." Hermione started. "Why this cat Videll would come and warn us of this evil spirit. If she's-"
"I think she's supposed to look after me." Harry interrupted "That's why she gave us that information.And why won't you two tell me who that girl is?!"
"Because Harry, all we know is that she helped you and her name is Sarah." Hermione stated.
"Well, that was all I wanted to know." Harry said plainly.
"No Harry you don't get it.It's her last name that scares me and the fact that she looks a lot like you." Hermione started but Ron finished for her.
"It's weird really; I mean if it wasn't for those weird eyes of hers, I would have believed that the old story was right."
"What old story?" Harry and Hermione asked together.
"Well" Ginny started, "It's actually a myth, that shouldn't be brought up.It's very disturbing." she glared at Ron.
"Well I want to hear it." Harry said anger rising in him.
"Harry no you don't." Ginny said. "It will haunt you to no end! I'll tell you after Christmas.Deal?" Ginny asked with hope that Harry would accept her proposal.
"Fine." Harry mumbled.
"Till Christmas then." Ron said happily now that the subject had changed.
~*~*~*~*~
Draco on the other hand was trapped in a carriage with his lackeys and Pansy. The one girl he dreaded the most. She hung on his every word, and never left his side, but that didn't bother him. He was to busy thinking of Sarah, and how beautiful she looked in person. In the black and white photo of her, she didn't move, she looked like a muggle model. "That's what she is!" Draco shouted making everyone in the silent carriage jump.
"That what who is?" Pansy asked jelously and curiousity mixed in her voice as she glared at Draco.
"Sarah Riddle, she's this girl the Dark Lord asked me to look after during her stay here."
"Is she pretty?" Pansy asked frightned of the new competition.
"Oh yes, she's gorgious." Draco said, his eyes gleeming with stars. Pansy grunted and folded her arms.
'We'll just see how pretty this brat is.' she thought to herself.
"Pansy is something wrong?" Crabble asked in admiration, Pansy squirmed.
"Ehhh, no."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After the carriages had stopped and all the students were filed up in the Great Hall, the Sorting Ceremony began.
Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me...
The Sorting hat was starting off with the same phrase it had when Harry was in his first year, but it wasn't going to be the same.
Try me on don't be afraid,
Just know that there's nothing hidden
Inside that magical head of yours,
That I can't see.
If you bear the traits of a Gryffindor,
Then you show bravery among all.
But if you are loyal to all you know,
Then in Hufflepuff is were you are.
Though if you are smart, with cunning skill,
Then in Ravenclaw I will put you.
Those Slytherins will go to any means to reach their goals
So is you are a sly witty wizard,
Then in Slytherin is were you belong.
With each New Year comes a new group.
And this year it's yours.
Everyone clapped and applauded for the sorting hat. It wasn't one of its better songs, but it made the new students feel appreciated, which was a good thing. "Alright, now when I call your names you will walk forward and be sorted." Professor McGonagall said as she walked up with a scroll. As she called out the names, Harry noticed the Egyptian girl and the tall muscular boy he saw at Flourish and Blotts.
When all the new first years were sorted, Professor McGonagall just ushered the two in the corner forward, and Dumbledore stood up. "Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I would like to welcome our two new exchange students, Evie Falcon, and her twin brother Ray, now please Evie step forward and be sorted." Evie walked forward, and Professor McGonagall placed the hat on her head. After a good debate on where to put her, he made his final decision, and placed her in the last place she wanted.Gryffindor! Evie took in a deep breath of air, and sadly walked forward to the Gryffindor Table. Then it was Ray's turn. When he sat down all the girls sighed in admiration. He sat there waiting for the Sorting Hat to decide, but in the end he too was placed in Gryffindor. Every girl in the Gryffindor house jumped up and started to shout and holler, Ray walked forward feeling like he was in control.
Dumbledore cleared his throat and everyone was quiet once more. "I want to give you a History lesson and then we can eat after a surprise I have for you all." He raised one of his hands and three girls and one guy walked out. "I introduce you to the Heirs of your houses. Rita Ravenclaw."
A girl with long wavy dark brown hair walked forward, she wore a white corset with a navy skirt, and placed on the bridge of her nose was a pair of glasses.
"Emma Gryffindor." A girl with curly red hair walked up, she wore a simple gold dress, trimmed with scarlet.
"Harvey Hufflepuff." A tall slightly muscular boy with blond hair and bright blue eyes walked up, he wore a white button down shirt and a pair of black dress slacks.
"Now last but certainly not least Sarah Riddle of Slytherin!" Sarah walked forward, her hair down to the middle of her back-curly, and her dress was silver with a green sash around her waist tying in a bow in the back.
"That's her!" Hermione gasped, Evie who was sitting two chairs away was listening intently.
"That's who?" Harry asked.
"The girl who helped you on the train Harry!" Hermione snapped back.
"Wait." He looked at her eyes, which seemed to be starting intently on him. "I know her." Hermione looked at him curiously, and Evie sent a cautious glance to Ray who nodded.
Rita made a large screeching sound, and a large black raven came swooping in from the ceiling, and over the Ravenclaw Table. Everyone gasped with amazement as the bird flew and landed on Rita's shoulder. Emma made a low growl and a huge lion came running from behind one of the doors and around the Gryffindor Table once, then made it's way to sit beside Emma. Everyone was amazed at Dumbledore's little surprise. Then Harvey made a clicking sound and a small badger came scurrying around a corner and under the Hufflepuff Table, making every girl scream in fright. Then the hall was quiet wondering were Sarah's pet was, but Sarah stood there very quiet a huge smirk on her face. Then it became clear to Harry why she waited for the hall to be quiet she was Parseltoung, or so he thought. Everyone was either looking around or staring at Sarah, waiting for what she would do. Then she spoke her mouth barley moving.
"Ahh shishhh amah sazz-zzay eh Nagani." Everyone gasped and one girl screamed, but all Harry heard was "Come to me snake of Slytherin, Nagani"
Harry noticed he was right. As soon as he wheeled around he saw hundreds of tiny green and black snakes slithering all over the great hall. As they slithered up the stairs they started to swirl around Sarah. The girls were screaming scared they were going to kill her, but with a bright flash of green light the hundreds of snakes had formed one huge Boa Constrictor. It was wrapped loosely around her upper body and right arm, its head raised staring at the students. Suddenly the whole Slytherin Table roared with cheers and shouts, even some students from other houses including Gryffindor were clapping, and cheering. Sarah's and Emma's were the best summonings of their animals compared to all the others. Sarah stood there a tiny smirk layed arcross her face. There was something about her that made every guy in the Great Hall want her, it was something about her mysterious look, and stare. Sarah scanned the room looking for Evie, then she saw it... Evie was sitting at the Gryffindor table. 'Ahhh perfect...' She thought.
Dumbledore cleared his throat and spoke to the school. "Rita of Ravenclaw, Emma of Gryffindor, Harvey of Hufflepuff, and Sarah of Slytherin should and will be treated with the upmost respect. You may be seated, now let the feast began." Emma, walked to the Gryffindor table, shaking hands as she walked to the end of the table where a large oriental chair sat in scarlet fabric. Rita did the same to her chair with navy fabric, Harvey to his chair which was done with yellow striped black fabric, and Sarah walked to hers; it was covered from head to toe like all the others but in green and trimed wtih silver. Harry could barley eat all he could think of was who she really was.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------
After the Welcome Feast, Evie met up with Sarah. "We have problems!" she grabbed Sarah's arm and pulled her away from the croud. "If you haven't noticed I'm in the Gryffindor house!"
"I was hoping you would be." Sara said plainly
"Uh?"
"This is a good thing not bad, this means you have a better chance of getting close to Potter, and then being able to lead him to me." Sarah waved to a first year Slytherin with a smile, then looked back to Evie. "Just make sure your dumb ass brother doesn't ruin this for us!" she hissed, Evie nodded and turned away leaving Sarah to be reconsumed by fellow Slytherins as she walked to the common room.
"I found our boy." Sarah said with a smirk as she got in one of the carriages with Evie and Ray.
"You mean Harry Potter right?" Ray asked in confusion.
"Yes she means Harry Pot-Head!" Evie said whacking Ray upside the head with her hand.
"Potter.Pot-err come on say it with me Potter" Sarah said annoyed. "Hey Evie," Evie looked up at Sarah. "What the hell are those black winged things out there?! They're positively gross!"
