Chapter 2: Gryffindor/Hufflepuff
The girl stepped from the carriage to see a beautiful castle, which would become her new school and home. She was nervous, but she was also ready. She was instructed on parchment where to go, so no one was there to welcome her. As soon as she got to the school, she was to arrive at a Professor McGonagall's office? She had a bit of difficulty, but the paintings helped her out tremendously.
She walked in cautiously and saw an old woman with a prim attitude about her. The lady was carrying a glass plate with a teapot and two cups on it, facing the books on the other side of the prim office.
"P-Professor McGonagall?" she asked nervously, clutching to her beautiful blue robes of Shiz.
"Yes, dear?" the professor turned around with an assuring smile and then dropped her glass plate on the ground, smashing both the plate and cups. Her mouth was open in surprise, and the girl was frightened. She bent down to pick up the glass pieces before the professor cleaned up the mess with a wave of her wand.
"Lily?" Professor McGonagall asked in shock.
"No, Professor. Well, you could call me Lily if you'd like. That's my middle name. I'm Audrey Lillian Menzel, Professor," she looked at the floor, embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, dear," the professor said, "Now, please sit down and I'll put the sorting hat on and it will choose what house you will be in."
Audrey immediately did as she was told and didn't notice the professor's tears forming as she put the hat on her head.
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted, making Audrey jump.
"I'm sorry," the professor said, "You can not be in Gryffindor. The Ministry of Magic has decided that you cannot be in the same house as another person who had attended Shiz. That's the house I'm in charge of, and I'm sure you'd be a wonderful Gryffindor, but you must be placed in another house."
When the hat was placed on her head again, the hat thought for a moment before yelling out, "HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Hufflepuff is an admirable house," Professor McGonagall told her as she put the hat on her desk, "Come with me to the Great Hall now to meet your new peers."
"Can you please explain to me the houses?" Audrey asked, confused and frightened.
"Yes, dear," Professor McGonagall said somberly, looking at her, "I'll explain on the way."
"Yes ma'am," Audrey looked to the ground and looked nervous.
"First, I must change your robes into the Hogwarts Hufflepuff robes, and your old ones will be immediately transported to your dorm," the wise woman said and Audrey's beautiful blue, white, silver, and black robes turned to black with the Hufflepuff emblem. She felt so strange and empty without her old Shiz robes.
'You must learn to adjust,' Audrey thought to herself. (Thoughts are put in ' ' and conversation is put in "")
Professor McGonagall led her out of her prim office and into the halls while explaining how Hogwarts came to be.
"Please, Professor, I...I was a music major at Shiz, and I heard Hogwarts had a band. Please, can I still join it? I play euphonium as my major instrument, and I know all forty six scales, and I'm also in an ensemble out of school called-"
"I will introduce you to Professor Sprout, who is also the head of your house," she said, blinking back a tear.
"I'm terribly sorry, Professor, if I've upset you in anyway," Audrey looked miserably into the floor.
"It's not you dear," she assured her and they heard Professor Dumbledore call Professor McGonagall's name. She stepped into the eyes of the curious students and professors, and gently took Audrey's hand, pulling her into the hall.
There was a gasp from one of the tables students sat in, and a confusion from the staff table.
"Mom....mom?" Harry couldn't believe it. He stood up and started walking towards her.
"Harry, what do you think you're doing?" Hermione asked, pulling him back.
"My mom....Lily....she's there," Harry breathed.
"That's not her," Ron said, pulling Harry back.
"She looks so much like my mother," Harry looked at the new student. She had gorgeous red hair and vibrant green eyes, just like his mother had. It was as if his pictures of his mother had come alive.
"But she's not her," Hermione reasoned, patting Harry on the shoulder.
"I know, I know," Harry said, looking at his plate, "but I wish she was."
"Too bad she's not in our house," Ron said.
Professor McGonagall took her straight to Dumbledore, who greeted her with a great smile.
"Well, here you are!" he exclaimed, "We are happy to have you here. I'm so happy that we have another music major here. Emmy and Eden Fae are, do you know them."
"I....I don't think so. Maybe I do, sir," she said, trying to be grateful at his kindness.
"Well, we shall see," he smiled, shaking her hand.
"Here, let's take you to Professor Sprout," Professor McGonagall said and took her further down the table to a woman with curly hair.
"Here's a music major," Professor McGonagall said to her, and went to her seat to eat the delicious food.
"Oh, splendid," she smiled kindly at the flustered girl, "So what instrument do you play?"
"I-I played euphonium as my major instrument and some other minor ones," she looked at the floor, "I was in the second top band and I was in the Shiz marching band, and I, I was in an ensemble out of school. I'm still in it, but I'll have to switch to their branch here soon. I was in the junior band with them, and I have my own euphonium, ma'am, but it's quite rusty and old."
"No matter, dear," she said kindly, "If you're half as good as Emmylene, and half as less egotistic as Eden Fae, you'll be just fine. I also hear you're in my house, good job. I trust you'll get along fine. As for the Band, there's already a euphonium player in it, but you can challenge him for first chair. He's in Slytherin, so he might be a bit competitive, but Emmy and Eden Fae have outshined the rest of them."
"I know my forty-six scales, it was required ma'am," Audrey said, "Please, what must I do to challenge? I was seventh chair in the second band at my school, so I'm probably not as good as the others, but I'd like to tr-"
"If you know all those scales, you will be just fine," she assured her, "I'll explain the challenging procedures later. Now go meet some new friends at the Hufflepuff table, and I will meet you again."
"Thank you ma'am," Audrey said shyly, and went to her table that Professor Sprout led her to. She felt the professors looking at her in surprise, she didn't know why. A particular teacher in all black, with greasy black hair glanced at her with a look mixed with surprise, angriness, and joy at the same time.
"Look at how Professor Snape is looking at her!" Ron said to Harry.
"I wonder why," he replied, not taking his eyes off of the girl who looked the part of his mother, "I wish she was in our house."
"If she does look like your mother, that means the professors knew your mother, and looking at her makes them feel uneasy about her," Hermione observed, "She is pretty."
"Well, my mother was also," Harry said, thinking of his parents.
"Do you think you'll be able to cope with her around?" Ron asked.
"I'll have to," Harry said, staring at the girl who looked exactly like his mother.
'At least, I hope so,' Harry thought to himself, trying to act normal.
