Chapter 6: Feast with the Chinese

"Time flies really quickly, don't you agree?" asked Lily.

"Yea Lils, the ball's tomorrow night! And the Chinese people are coming for the feast tonight!" said Angel excitedly.

"Don't remind me! I have to make that freaking speech with Potter! He's lucky I even know Chinese!" said Lily, agitated.

Sky walked into the dorm, saw Lily looking furious, and said "Maybe I should go...Angel, you deal with her best... so um... bye...?"

"NOOOOO! Don't leave me with the maniac redhead! She'll kill me! You don't want that on your conscience do you?" said Angel faking a look of agitation.

"Oh shut up guyz! I'm feeling bad enough!" said Lily, a grin threatening to slide on her face.

That Night

The great hall was filled with excited buzzing, while the eyes of the student were flicking continuously from the high table where James and Lily stood, to the door, where Professor Mcgonagall would be walking in any minute, with the Chinese kids.

Suddenly, the large wooden doors burst open, and Professor Mcgonagall walked in, directing a man that looked very pompous toward the high table. He saw Lily and James, gave them a curt nod and smile, then sat down on the extra chairs.

Lily was to be the translator for the night, as not any of the teachers except Dumbledore had a single inkling of what the language Chinese was about. Dumbledore stood up, said some stuff in Chinese, and then sat down. Lily stood up.

"Good evening my fellow students, I'm very sure you were wondering what load of garbage Professor Dumbledore was talking about. Well, I'm going to repeat it. 'Good evening ladies and gentleman, we're glad to have the Chinese community of magic with us tonight, and please listen to your head girl, then give them a round of applause." Said Lily.

The great hall was filled with deafening applause, mostly directed at Lily and Dumbledore, for knowing Chinese. Lily gave a small smile, and Dumbledore beamed.

"Well my dearest pupils, Ms. Evans here is doing a great job, and Mr. Potter, would you like to join her for the speech?" said Dumbledore.

"Actually Professor, I think I'll skip." Said James Grinning, but getting up. Dumbledore cracked a smile, while the great hall filled with laughter. "Good evening my fellow students, please welcome your most beloved and eares, most handsome and most modest head boy, oh, and your head girl," said James taking a bow.

The great hall filled with laughter, mostly from the Hogwarts students. Lily repeated this in Chinese, yet, she changed head boy, to head girl. Surprisingly, the Chinese students started clapping, and laughing at the same time. Some were shocked that Lily could speak Chinese so fluently that they just stared at her in awe.

The night went on, and after James and Lily were done with their speech, they went back to Gryffindor table. Lily's fellow Gryffindors patted her back and told her a job well done, while her friends hugged her.

Mcgonagall then went on splitting the Chinese, and placed them into the houses for the time that they're going to be in Hogwarts. Lily, naturally became the speaker for Gryffindor.

"Ni hao" said Lily. (hi!)

"Ni hao, ni jiao shen me ming zi?" asked a chinese boy(hi, whats your name?), with hair not unlike James, and tall lean muscular body. He wasn't wearing glasses.

"Wo jiao Lily, er zhe shi James." Said Lily( I'm Lily and this is James.) "Zhe shi Angel, zhe shi Sky." (This is Angel and this is Sky.)

The Gryffindors found out that the Chinese could speak a little bit of English, and learnt that the Chinese people consisted of Ah Long(dragon)(male), Ah Ming(light)(male), Ah Hua(flower)(female), Ah Qiang(strong)(male), Ah Li(pretty)(female), Ah Qing(clear)(female). (A/N: the dragon, light, flower, strong, pretty and clear are the meanings of the Chinese names. It's getting complicated.)

Soon, the Gryffindors were mingling with the Chinese, and they were feeling very warm and happy towards each other.

After the feast was finished, Dumbledore announced that there was two extra rooms made, connected to the common room, and they were for the visitors. They were all in their 7th year.

Everyone went back to their rooms and collapsed into quiet slumber, but little did they know, a little plot was being hatched that very night, evil, as evil does...
