Green-Eyed Envy Chapter 2
------------------------------
I couldn't resist writing another chapter, just so you can kind of see where this is going...
-----------------------------
By the time the first years had been sorted everyone in the Great Hall was very restless and hungry.
"But there is still one more sorting ceremony to be done! We are proud to be hosting 20 students from 20 different countries this year! Many of these students can relate with you on many levels- they've probably experienced the same things as you!"
"Yeah, right," Harry grumbled, rolling his eyes.
Dumbledore saw this and winked in his direction. "In fact, I'm sure some of you will be VERY surprised about how closely related some of you are... So, now let the sorting begin!!!" The group of 20 stood from a table where they'd been sitting in a corner. When all of them had stood, the table vanished. Harry watched uninterestedly as the first student, a 14 year old boy, approached the stool that the Sorting Hat rested on. Hermione watched with intense enthusiasm as 4 Slytherins, 7 Hufflepuffs, 5 Ravenclaws, and 4 Gryffindors were sorted. Finally there was one student left. Ron and Harry perked up as Katie slowly walked to the Sorting Hat. the Hat had barely touched her head when it shouted "gryffindor!" to the Great Hall.
Ron looked over at Harry interestedly. "Maybe she's not so bad afterall..." Harry shrugged and watched as Katie rushed over to the table, sat down and was promptly drilled about the schooling system where she came from.
"...Canadian schools have a different approach, don't they? Did you go to a boarding school? What kind of lessons do you have??"
Katie was very polite and answered everything, smiling and laughing. Hermione was very intruiged to find out that she'd gone to a day school, where she lived at home and went to school between 9 am and 4 pm. She was awed when she found out that astronomy lessons were done seperately by private tutors since they weren't at school during the night. "Last year I completed my entire astronomy-level by Christmas and was able to take an extra-credit class on what it takes to become an Auror!" Katie said excitedly. Ron and Harry, who'd devoted themselves to feasting looked up excitedly, Ron nearly dropping his fork.
"Really??? What was that like?" ron asked excitedly. Katie turned her attention to him.
"It was awesome, I learned sooo much. My parents were Aurors or something- they fought against Voldemort and so I wanted to learn more about it." Katie said happily. Several people choked at the sound of Voldemort's name, but since Katie didn't show any reaction they continued to listen with rapt attention. Harry was beginning to like this girl, even though she was Malfoy's girlfriend. He looked at her talking animatedly and felt an uneasiness tug at his belly button. He felt a connection with this girl. And they had so much in common- both their parents had died, both their parents fought against dark wizards, she had an intrest in becoming an Auror and she didn't have that silly fear of saying Voldemort's name. She seemed familiar to him too, the way she moved, they way her eyes lit up. He sat back in his seat and looked around at everyone around him, entranced by Katie's stories. He looked at the other house tables, also quite happy with their guests. He glanced up briefly at the staff table sensing the glare he felt whenever he was in that room. Only this time it wasn't directed at him, but at the pretty red-haired girl with the bright green eyes... like his mother's. Harry quickly looked back at Katie and suddenly saw what Snape saw. Sitting at the Gryffindor table was none other than a carbon copy of Lily Evans-Potter.
