Cortaz opened her eyes. Glancing around her, she saw she was lying in
a dense forest.
Cortaz: "W-what? H-huh? W-where am I? What happened?"
Cortaz sat up and looked around. Suddenly she heard a voice.
Keanna: "Cortaz! What are we doing here?!...Scary...Eew! Mosquito!!"
Then, Keanna saw a shadow loom over her.
Keanna: "Aaarrgghhhh!!! HELLPPPP!!!"
Elisha: "Stop screaming Kia! It's me! Elie!"
Keanna: "Oh..heehee...oops...sorry...it's scary ya know..."
Cortaz: "Why, this looks like the forbidden forest!! But what in the
world am I doing here??"
Elisha: "The what?? Forbidden forest? How did we come here?
But..that's......t-that's impossible!"
Soon Ly and Lisa joined the three with confused expressions.
Ly: "Wait a second...is this not Hogwarts?! My dream school!
But...it's real?!?!"
Lisa: "What's happening?"
Elisha: "Okay okay people! Let's think...where are we?"
Cortaz: "We are in a forest! So...how do we get outta here?"
Out of the blue, a figure of a guy stepped out from the darkness.
Draco: "What are you doing here? You do know that this is the
forbidden forest?"
Ly: "OH MY GOODNESS! DRACO!! FOR REAL?!"
Keanna: "Yucks!! ( hides behind Cortaz ) Psst...he's looking at you,
Ly!"
Just then, the five girls heard a rustling noise among the trees.
Cortaz: "What's that?!"
Ly: "Dunno..."
Lisa: "( gasps ) Ghost?"
Then, three people appeared between the trees. There were two boys and
a girl.
Draco: "Well, well, well, if it isn't Potter, mudblood and weasel..."
Harry: "Shaddup, Malfoy." ( notices Cortaz )
Suddenly the trees rustled again. A hairy leg poked out of the dense
bushes.
Ron: "Oh my goodness! It's Aragog!"
Aragog: "Who dares enter my territory?!?!"
Harry: "W-we are sorry! W-we were just leaving..."
Draco: "DUCK!"
But he was too late. Aragog's leg lashed out at Ly, whacking her in
the stomach.
Keanna: "LY! Are you alright?!?! Argghhh!!"
Before anyone could react, Aragog's leg whipped Keanna and Lisa and
flung them away.
Lisa Keanna: "AAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!! HEELPPPPPPPPP!!!!!"
Ron jumped up and grapped Keanna by the hand, and pulled her back, but
Lisa flew away into the dark forest. Elisha immediately ran after her.
Keanna: "Lisa!! Thanks!.... ( blush )"
Ron: "Uh...no prob. ( blush )"
Draco: "STUPEFY!"
Harry: "STUPEFY!"
Hemione: "STUPEFY!"
Just before the giant spider backed off into the forest, Ly fell to
the ground.
Aragog, retreated two steps, but came forth another three steps.
Harry: "STUPEFY!"
Hermione: "IPENDIMENTA!"
Draco: "STUPEFY!"
Keanna: "Whoa! How did'cha do that?! Teach me!"
Finally, Aragog retreated back into the shadows of the towering trees.
Draco: ( he picks up Ly ) "Hurry everyone, run! Before it chases after
us!"
The seven of them ran back to the Hogwarts grounds, Draco carrying Ly,
Ron following close behind Keanna and Harry pulling Cortaz in one hand
and Hermione in the other...
Later
In the hospital wing, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco and Cortaz were
crowded around two beds. In one of them lay Ly in a deep sleep. Keanna
was seated upon the other, with her hand in a sling.
Harry: "Hey, you sure you're alright?"
Cortaz: "Huh? Y-yeah. I think. Hey! You're the famous Harry Potter
I've read so much about, right?"( she noticed the scar )
Harry: "Urm, yeah. Haha. I'm not really that great."
Ron: "Kia, you okay? Does your arm still hurt?"
Keanna: ( blush ) "Yes, I'm okay...only a bit...but it's okay..."
( As/N: The boys are so worried 'bout the girls! )
All of a sudden everyone's eyes fell upon Draco who was staring at Ly
in a sort of trance.
Cortaz: "Oo-la-la!, somebody's in love!....( giggles )"
Draco: ( snaps out of trance ) "Eh? What?"
Cortaz: "Nevermind! Urm...so, where exactly are we?"
Hermione: "Didn't you know? You're in Hogwarts! The school of
witchcraft and wizardry! By the way, I'm Hermione! And you three are?"
Keanna: "Keanna Fuller! But you can call me Kia!"
Cortaz: "I'm Cortaz deon Amber. And she's Ly. Nice ta meet you."
Cortaz pointed at the motionless Ly, just as Professor Dumbledore came
in followed by Professor McGonagall.
Professor Dumbledore: "Ah, so these are the ones found outside in the
forbidden forest, are they not?"
Harry: "She ( points at Cortaz ), Kia and Ly."
Cortaz: "Urm...how did we get here?"
Professor Dumbledore: "Ah, that, I shall explain later. But now, you
shall be taken care of by Madam Promfey."
Keanna: "B-but, I'm so confused! First we appear in a forest, next
we're attacked by a giant spider or whatever, now Ly might die any
second and I want to go home!"
Harry Hermione Ron Draco: ( shocked ) "You mean you came from the
muggle world?!"
Keanna: "Urm, yeah, sorta...I dunno! But all I-"
Suddenly Keanna stopped talking and turned her head in the direction
of Ly.
Ly: "Urgh......where-am I? Am I dead? Cortaz? Kia? KIA! What's wrong
with your arm?! Where's Lisa and Elie?"
Draco: "That's right! There were two other just now..."
Just as Ly was about to jump out of bed her wound made her shriek in
pain and she fell onto the floor wincing...
Draco: "Ly!"
By then Draco had ran to Ly's side.
Draco: "Are you okay?!"
Professor McGonagall: "Yes. The two other, of course. Professor
Dumbledore, what will you do about them?"
Professor Dumbledore: "I will take care of that too. We shall not
discuss any of this here. Good day."
And with that, Professor Dumbledore walked out, with Professor
McGonagall close on his heels.
Somewhere in the depths of the forest, two figures pushed through the
maze of leafy branches and dense shrubs.
At Hogwarts...
Keanna and Ron were walking in the hallways to the hospital wing when
Keanna accidentally bumped into someone.
Neville: "Oops! Sorry-"
Suddenly he stopped.
Neville: "Oh my goodness! The girl next to Ron is so totally cute!"
Keanna ran her hand through her fousled hair and grinned, making her
look even more prettier.
Keanna: "Aw, no prob. ( wink ) See ya!"
As Ron saw Keanna winking at Neville, a look of jealousy crossed his
face. But it quickly turned into a smile as Keanna turned and tugged
at Ron's robes.
Keanna: "Let's go Ron!"
Ron: "Uh...okay..."
Suddenly as Ron followed Keanna, he was pulled back by Neville.
Neville: "Hey Ron! Who's that girl?"
Ron: "Keanna. She from the muggle world."( he was trying to keep his
voice calm )
Neville: "Well, muggle or not, she's definitely a hottie!"
Keanna: "Hey guys! Whatcha talking about? Let's go Ron!"
Ron: "Okay okay. See you around Neville."
Neville: "See ya...Keanna... "
At the hospital wing...
Hermione: "Ly, do you feel better?"
Ly: "Yeah...just a little stomach ache..."
Just then Draco came in.
Hermione: "Whoa. Never expected to see you here Malfoy."
Draco: "My whereabouts does not have your concern mudblood."
Hermione: "What are you doing here anyway? Where are your two goons?"
( glares at each other )
Ly: "Okay guys! Cool it!"
Next came Ron and Keanna.
Keanna: "Hey Ly! How are you? What's the commotion about?"
Hermione: "Hi Ron. What took you so long?"
Ron: "Hm? Oh, Kia and I ran into Neville."
Finally came Cortaz and Harry.
Cortaz: "Hi everyone! puff Sorry I'm late!" puff
Keanna: "Aahhhh!"
Hermione: "What? Kia you okay?"
Keanna: "Mosquito!"
Everyone: ( sweatdrop --)
Madam Promfey: "Please keep your voices down!"
Keanna: "Oops...sorry..."
Unexpectedly another visitor came in.
Cedric: "Hello people. Professor Dumbledore wants to meet the girls
from the muggle world."
Harry: "Hey Cedric. A prefect I see."
Cedric: ( smile ) "Yeah. Right, gotta job to be done."
Cortaz: "You talking 'bout us?"
Keanna: "Great! Now I'll find out the truth!"
Ly: "Okay. But I think I need help..."
Cedric: "Yeah. Don't ask me why."
As Keanna and Cortaz helped Ly walk out, Keanna heard a soft whisper
from Cedric.
Cedric: "See ya."
Keanna smiled in return, and then went lost in her thoughts.
( As/N: Harry led the way )
Along the way they met Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall: "This way. Please follow me."
Cortaz nodded and the three continued, leaving Harry behind. They
walked through many hallways and at last they came to a stop in front
of a huge stone eagle which had what seemed like a part of a staircase
stuck to it.
Professor McGonagall: "Go on. Professor Dumbledore will be waiting for
you."
This time Keanna nodded in reply. But all this while the three were
speechless as they wondered, what would await for them? Now the truth
was at the doorstep. Cortaz, Keanna and Ly stepped onto the stairs.
Then, Professor McGonagall said a password, suddenly, the stairs
started moving round and round, each time bringing them higher and
higher. Finally, when the stairs stopped, they saw in front of them
stood a door.
Cortaz: ( inhale )"Well, here we are."
Ly: "C'mon..."
Ly pushed the door open. To their surprise, there they stood in the
most magnificent room they ever seen in their entire lives. On the
walls hang portraits of Hogwart's past headmasters and mistresses. And
there were shelves and rows of books. Hundreds – maybe thousands of
them. But what caught their attention the most was a phoenix which
stood proudly on its' golden perch. The three were mesmerised by it's
wonderful mixture of colours.
Cortaz: "Oh wow...it's like a sunset..."
Keanna: "Its' fabulous..."
Ly: "I've never seen such a beautiful bird before..."
Professor Dumbledore: "Ah, I see you have met Fawkes."
Then, without warning, the phoenix burst into flames and turned into
ashes which dropped onto the golden plate below.
Cortaz: "Professor! It – It – it just caught fire!"
Keanna: "Sorry! We - we didn't mean to!"
Ly was still speechless and shocked by what had just happened.
Professor Dumbledore came down from the second level.
Professor Dumbledore: "Ah, and about time too. You see, when a phoenix
reaches to a certain age, it bursts into flames and will reborn again
from it's ashes."
Now everyone turned their focus back to the plate of ashes. Suddenly,
the ashes started moving. Then a tiny head poked out from the ashes
slowly.
Cortaz: "Wow..."
Keanna: "Oh! It's so cute!"
Ly: "Man! I must memorise this stuff!"
Professor Dumbledore: "The most extraordinary thing about a phoenix is
that it's tears can heal wounds. Ah...excellent creature..."
Cortaz: "Professor, I believe you wanted to meet us?"
Professor Dumbledore: "Ah, yes, of course. Please sit."
And with a wave of his wand, three chairs appeared right before them.
They sat and faced Professor Dumbledore in front of his desk. There
were several little silver intruments on which some were moving and
others not.
Professor Dumbledore: "I shall start with you, Miss Fuller."
Professor Dumbledore looked straight at her through his half-moon
glasses. Keanna felt a shiver run down her spine which made her shift
in her sit.
Professor Dumbledore: "Now, do you know of a woman named Sanjestia
Fuller?"
Keanna: "Yes...that's my mom...what's wrong?"
Professor Dumbledore: "Sanjestia Fuller was a daughter of a teacher of
Magical Arts. She accidentally found the portal to the muggle world
and escaped there.Sanjestia married a muggle with the same family name
as her. Miss Fuller, you are a mixed blood which means you're a
witch."
Keanna: ( shocked )"Huh?!?! Is that why I'm here? "
Ly: "Wow! Way to go Kia!"
Professor Dumbledore: "Miss Fuller, your mother had arranged for you
to be enrolled in Hogwarts. Unfortunately, she was killed in a
battle."
Keanna: "What?! How did she die? Nobody told me 'bout that...all they
told me was she died in a car crash..."
Cortaz: "I'm sorry Kia..."
Professor Dumbledore: "I will explain when the time is ripe. Miss
Bauldelairexpep, your father, was my cousin."
Ly: ( Very shocked ) "W-w-wa-wa-wa- that means I'm your – your – your
– impossible!"
Cortaz: "...Urm...so...what about me?"
Professor Dumbledore: "Miss Amber, you too are a pure blood like Miss
Bauldelairexpep –"
Ly: "If it's easier...you can call me Ly?"
Professor Dumbledore: "– Miss Ly. Miss Amber, your parents are a well-
known wizard and witch – Corehea Bchea Amber and Mr Vanred Amber. For
your safety, they sent you to the muggle world."
Cortaz: "But... it's impossible! I can't be a-a-a witch?! But what are
they protecting me from?"
Professor Dumbledore: "All I can say now is that your aunt and uncle
do not know of your parent's true identity. The frequent business
trips your parents go is when they make visits back here."
Cortaz: "Wow! So...where are they now?"
Keanna: "Hey! I'm a witch! I'll turn all of you into...urm...cute
liddle teddy bears!" ( everyone ignores her )
Professor Dumbledore: "I'm afraid to say that they have gone missing,
as to why your aunt and Uncle have proclaim them dead."
Cortaz: "No...I refuse to accept! What happened to them? You did sent
someone to find them didn't you?" sniff
Keanna: "It's okay, Cortaz...I'm sure they would be found...soon..."
aww...poor Cortaz!
Ly: "Don't worry! You can stay with me for now! They'll be found!"
Cortaz: "............Where are Lisa and Elie?"
Professor Dumbledore: "That I cannot answer. The key to them lies
within you. That will be all for now. You may return."
( As/ N: They've got a special room to stay in temporally )
Keanna: "Thank you Professor!" How could my mother leave me like that?
I really miss her...
Meanwhile...
Elisha: "Quick! Run!"
Lisa: "No! Look! My leg!"
Elisha: "Nevermind! I'll stall it! Run Lisa!!"
Lisa: "NO!! What about you?!"
Elisha: "JUST GO!!"
Elisha pushed Lisa forward and thrust a heavy rock at the monstrous
spider. Being weak she could not throw far, but it landed on its' leg.
Unfortunately, the spider was too strong for Elisha. It continued to
chase her. Lisa, from afar, watched fearfully as Aragog snapped at
Elisha in rage, slashing her arms.
Lisa: "You're bleeding!!"
Elisha: "RUN!!"
Lisa: "Okay! okay!"
Chae: "STUPEFY!"
Chae threw the spell at Aragog straight – on, forcing it to retreat
back deeper into the forest out of exhaustion...
Lisa: "Wha – what hap – happened??"
Elisha: "Eh? Who's that?"
Chae: "Yo girls! You two okay?"
Elisha: "Um...who are you?"
Lisa: "Y – yeah..."
Chae: "Chae Zacri. Just came here last year but I'm cramming to make
up for it. I'm in Hufflepuff third year."
Elisha: "HUH?"
Lisa: "How confusing..."
Elisha: "Urm...where are we? How did we get here? Where are Cortaz, Ly
and Kia?"
Chae: "Heh, you're in the forbidden forest. It's pretty dangerous out
here. Who are you gals? Where're you from?"
Elisha: "I'm Elisha. Just call me Elie."
Lisa: "I'm Lisa. Nice to meet you."
Chae: "But what are you doing here?"
Elisha: "Dunno."
Chae: "Wait a sec...MUGGLES?......Eh, nevermind that. I did better
take you back to Professor Dumbledore."
Lisa: "Who's that?"
Elisha: "Who?"
Lisa: "Oh! I remember! He's the principle of Hogwarts!" ( she reads
Harry Potter too )
Chae: "Nevermind. Professor Dumbledore will tell you everything."
Elisha: "......"
At Hogwarts' entrance, Cortaz suddenly spots Chae, Lisa and Elisha as
she walks pass.
Cortaz: "LISA! ELIE! Where on Earth have you been?!?!"
Elisha: "CORTAZ!!!"
Lisa: "Oh my goodness! HIIYAA!!!"
Elisha and Ly ran to give a huge hug. Both were almost in tears. They
thought that they would never see her again.
Chae: "You know each other?"
Cortaz: sniff "Yeah. Me and my other friends just met Professor
Dumbledore and he told us everything. We're are from the muggle
world."
Elisha: "D-uh! We're all classmates! Kia and Ly too!"
Lisa: "Yeah!" ( wink )
Cortaz: "OH-MY-GOODNESS! Elie! Your arm!! What happened?!?!"
When Cortaz hugged Elisha she felt her arm go wet.
Elisha: "Oh yeah! I forgot my arm was hurt. How come it's not
painful?"
Chae: "I put a painkiller spell on you."
Elisha: "Oh! Thanks!"
Chae: ( grin ) "No prob."
Meanwhile at the hospital wing...
Ly: "Hey! Why are your badges different colours? After all, we are in
the same school!"
Keanna: "Oh! I didn't notice that! Cool! Hey! Not fair! Yours ( points
at Hermione, Harry and Ron ) is nicer than mine!"
Harry: "Haha...it's that we in different houses! Gryfindor which is
our house, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw."
Keanna: "Ooohh... I hope I'm in Gryfindor! I just love the badge...and
how do we get them?"
Ly: "We have to be sorted..."
Keanna: "How did you know?"
Just then Elisha and Cortaz walked in, with Lisa and Chae close
behind.
Cortaz: "Hey everyone! Look who I brought! And can someone help Elie?
She's bleeding real badly..."
Elisha: "Not that bad anyway, Chae made it unpainful..."
Ly Keanna: "ELIE! LISA!"
Ly: "Ohhh...I'm so glad you're back..I missed you guys! Where were
you?"
Keanna: "Hey...we were worried sick!"
Hermione: "Whao. It looks awful..."
Chae: "No worries. Madam Promfey will take care of her!"
Elisha: "Uhhhhhhh....."
Then Elisha fell to the ground and fainted.
Lisa: "AHH!!"
Keanna: "Arhh! Elie! Are you okay?!"
Hemione: "Oh my goodness! Chae! Why didn't you notice she was losing
so much blood??"
Chae: "But she didn't tell me!"
Harry: "Stop bickering! Help her to the bed! Madam Promfey!"
As Chae helped her, he saw the amount of blood that was collected on
the marble floor and that made him feel quite guilty.
Ly: "Elie! Oh man..."
Cortaz: "Look at her...she's so pale!"
Hermione: "She'll be fine. Just a loss of blood." ( glares at Chae )
Madam Promfey: "Excuse me! I've got a patient to take care of!"
Cortaz: "Huh? Oh hey Malfoy! Didn't know you came in."
Ly: "Malfoy!"
Keanna: "Hi Draco...." yucks
Lisa: "Hi.."
Harry: "What are you doing here anyway, Malfoy?"
Draco: "Nothing. I'm leaving."
Keanna: "Bye!" Yes! He's gone!
Cortaz: ( giggle ) "I know why he came! He came to see Ly!" ( giggle
)
Draco walks out, but not before taking a last glance at Ly.
Ly: "......oh my goodness......"
Cortaz: "Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!"
Keanna: "Ha! Someone's in love!"
Harry: "Eh? What are you girls talking about?"
Cortaz: "Uhh...."
Lisa: "Ummm..."
Keanna: "Err...it's girl talk!"
Elisha: "Uh......."
Chae: "You're awake!"
Elisha: "Can I have a glass of water please?"
Lisa: ( pours Elisha a glass of water )
Elisha: "Thanks!"
Chae: "So erm...are you guys enrolling in Hogwarts?"
Elisha: "You mean we're like gonna stay?"
Cortaz: "I guess we might be sorted out with the first years..."
Chae: "Ah, I hope you get into Gryfindor. You won't be happy with my
bro. in Ravenclaw...he's quite cold."
Keanna: "Oh...err...is he cute?" ( everyone ignores her and Hermione
rolls her eyes )
Ly: "So when will we be sorted? Professor Dumbledore says that he will
make time for-"
Professor Dumbledore: "Good afternoon!"
Elisha: "EEEKK! My goodness you gave me a fright!"
Keanna: "Yo! Professor! You rock man!"
Lisa: "Hi Professor!"
Cortaz: "Professor Dumbledore!"
Ly: "Will we be sorted now?"
Harry: "Professor! ......Psst...Hermione! Is there a school rule that
says you are allowed to greet the teaches in this manner?"
Hermione: "Well, I don't remember any. But I'm not sure if you can."
Professor Dumbledore: "Ah, I've come to tell you that the day after
tomorrow we shall have a small meeting to sort the young girls in the
great hall."
Elisha: "Wait! But, I still do not know why am I here for!"
Lisa: "Yeah...me too!"
Professor Dumbledore: "I will tell you later after you are sorted into
your house. Now take the time to recover."
Before anyone else could ask another question, Professor Dumbledore
vanished.
Keanna: "Wow! How did he do that?"
Cortaz: "He's a wizard Kia." --
Ly: "O-kay! I can't wait for the sorting to begin!"
Harry: sigh "Anyway, welcome to Hogwarts girls."
Then Hermione took out a pen and a book.
Hemione: "Um, can I have your full names again? So I won't forget."
Keanna : "Oh! I'm Keanna Leanne Fuller. Call me Kia!"
Elisha: "I'm Elisha Valentine!"
Cortaz: "Cortaz deon Amber!"
Ly: "Urm...I think you can just call me Ly...cause..." ( Cortaz,
Keanna, Elisha and Lisa giggles )
Lisa: "I'm Lisa Lichlas!"
Chae: "Alright! Well, hope you all get into Gryfindor!"
#########Sorting Day########
The girls stood in the great hall, admiring the floating candles and
the ceiling that was enchanted to be exactly like the weather outside.
Then, Ly noticed four huge hour glasses.
Ly: "Professor Dumbledore, what are those hour glasses for?"
Professor Dumbledore: "The house points. Red for Gryfindor, green for
Slytherin, blue for Ravenclaw and yellow for Hufflepuff."
Lisa: "Oh..."
Cortaz: "Wow...this is so amazing...so.. so...magical..."
Keanna: "Cool...hey! This ( points to Gryfindor ) has the most
points!"
Elisha: "So complicated! Hope we get to be together!"
Ly: "Yeah! Good luck guys..."
The five of them exchanged hand shakes with each other, at the same
time feeling excited yet nervous... Finally, Professor McGonagall came
in to the great hall holding a black and crumpled old hat.
Professor McGonagall: "Sorry I'm late. Managed to get a relieve
teacher for my class. Alright, shall we begin?"
Professor Dumbledore: "Yes, of course."
( As/ N: We skipped the sorting hat's song part. )
Professor McGonagall placed the hat on a stool and took out a
parchment.
Professor McGonagall: "Cortaz deon Amber!"
Cortaz looked at her friends and gave them a little nod before walking
up to the stool bravely. The hat was placed on Cortaz. She could
almost hear her heart thumping furiously against her chest.
Hat: "Ah...yes...hm...good deal of bravery...Hufflepuff, Gryfindor...
decisions decisions... yes! GRYFINDOR!"
Cortaz: "YEAH! ( she high-fived Ly )"
Professor McGonagall: "Elisha Valentine!"
Cortaz: "Good luck Elie..."
Elisha walked up to the stool nervously, she felt herself trembling
slightly. She closed her eyes and waited for the results...
Hat: "Hm...why...this shall be...GRYFINDOR!"
Elisha: "Oh my goodness! That was fast!"
The two girls looked on happily, only to be disappointed.
Professor McGonagall: "Keanna Leanne Fuller!"
Keanna slowly and cautiously walked towards the stool, as if it would
eat her up. She watched as the hat was placed on her head.
Hat: "Let me see...ah...yes...no...oh dear...this one will go
to...HUFFLEPUFF!"
Keanna slowly walked towards Cortaz and Elisha, and hugged them both.
Although she wore a smile, there were tears in her eyes.
Keanna: sob sob "Bye guys..." why must we be separated?
Cortaz: "Aw..Kia...don't be upset...we still can see each other,
right? Besides, Cedric is in Hufflepuff..." ( wink )
Elisha: "It's okay, maybe Lisa or Ly will be with you!"
Professor McGonagall: "Lisa Lichlas!"
The hat had barely touched her head when it shouted-
Hat: "Ah...easy one...HUFFLEPUFF!"
Lisa came down from the stool and walked over to the tearing Keanna
and gave Cortaz and Elisha a weary smile.
Lisa: "At least we're together!"
Cortaz: ( smile as wildly as she could )
Elisha: mouth might break..."
Keanna: Sniff "Yeah...at least Lisa's with me..."
Now everyone focused their eyes on Ly.
Ly: "Oh man...why am I last...( take deep breath ) well...here goes
nothing!"
Professor McGonagall: "Ly Bauldelairexpep!"
Ly walked up to the hat wondering whether it would be Hufflepuff or
Gryfindor.
Hat: "Hm...this one is hard...a cunning mind yet quite intelligent...
where to put you..."
Ly sat on the stool for what seem like ages until...
Hat: "SLYTHERIN!"
The four girls gasped. Ly sat on the stool, until finally she removed
the hat, with tears streaming down her face.
Ly: "I'm sorry.......but we'll still be friends forever right?"
More tears streamed down her face, her eyes shining.
Cortaz: "Of course we'll still be friends! Don't be silly!"
Keanna: "Ly...don't be sad! Come on...look on the bright side of
life!"
Elisha: "Aw...anyway you are with Draco..."
Lisa: "Yeah! We are forever friends!"
Harry: "Well, good luck Ly...but hope you don't follow Draco and his
ways..."
Keanna: "Going to Slytherin makes you turn bad?" Oh! Now I'm REALLY
glad I wasn't sorted into Slytherin! Phew!
Elisha: "By the way Harry what are you doing here?"
Harry: "Eh, Hermione and I are supposed to take the Gryfindors to
their dorms."
Cortaz: "Great! Can we go now?"
Lisa: "...How about us?"
Harry: "I guess Cedric or somebody will come for the Hufflepuffles,
and ( frown ) Malfoy."
Ly: "Draco?!"
Elisha: "Heh heh, Ly's crush's coming!"
Lisa: "Haha!"
Cortaz: "Psst!...Let's see what will happen!" ( say to everyone except
Ly )
Keanna: "Sure!"
Professor Dumbledore: "Now that all of you have been sorted, here's an
official warm welcome to Hogwarts!"
Cortaz: "Thanks Professor!"
Elisha: "Yay!"
Ly: "Yeah...can't wait to begin lessons!"
Keanna: "Yuck! You like lessons?!"
Lisa: "Oh c'mon Kia, you know Ly!"
Professor Dumbledore: "Alright, hope you'll find Hogwarts suitable.
Professor McGonagall and I shall take our leave now."
Then the two Professors walked out of the great hall with their long
robes flying behind them.
Hemione: "Okay people, the others are here."
Draco: "......"
Elisha: "Hi Malfoy! Hi Cedric! And hi Chae!"
Keanna: "Hey hey!" Cedric! Oh...he's so good looking!
Lisa: "Hi!"
Ly: "......."
Cortaz: "Hey everyone. When can we go Harry?"
Zacri: "I'm not Chae. I'm his twin Zacri."
Keanna: "Oh. Hi Zacri!"
Zacri: -- "I'm here for the Ravenclaws."
Lisa: "Oh..."
Cortaz: "Urm...there aren't any Ravenclaws..." --
Harry: "No Ravenclaws Zacri."
Zacri: "Oh, nevermind." ( walks away )
Keanna: "Bye..." What a dummy!
Draco: ( frown ) "So who's in Slytherin?"
Ly: "Me!"
Draco: ( surprised ) "Okay, urm, follow me."
Ly: "Bye guys!"
Everybody: "Bye!" ( sniff )
When Draco and Ly left the great hall...
Cortaz: "Hahahahahaha! Did you see the expression on Ly's face?
Hahaha................"
Keanna: "Yea! So funny!" ( laughs )
Lisa: "Heehee!......"
Elisha: "Heehee...." ( giggle – non – stop )
Harry: "Okay okay. Cortaz, Elie, you are Gryfindors, right?"
Elisha: "Yep!"
Cortaz: "Uh-huh."
Hemione: "Right! Let's go!"
Hufflepuff common room
Cedric put a hand on Keanna's head and ruffled her hair.
Cedric: "I guess I'll be your big brother from now on."
Keanna: ( blush ) He touched me!
Cedric: ( pats Lisa's head ) "Let's go! I booked the nicest room for
you two."
Lisa: "Thanks!"
Gryffindor's common room...
Elisha: "So what's the password again?"
Harry: "You'd better not forget!"
Hemione: "It's JELLYBEANS!"
Elisha: "Urm...okay..."
Cortaz: "Oh – my – goodness! This – is – so – grand!! Look at the
fireplace! The ceiling! The floor! The –"
Harry: "Eh, okay. The girls' dorm is on the RIGHT. Remember!"
Cortaz: "Oh...so the left is the boys', right?"
Elisha: "I'll remember!"
Harry: "And...urm...oh yeah! Before I forget, breakfast starts at 7:30
tomorrow and lessons at 8:30 sharp."
Cortaz: "Wait! We don't have books or anything!"
Hermione: "Oh, that's done. They're all in your room. C'mon, I'll show
you to your room."
In Cortaz and Elisha's room...
Hermione: "Well, here we are. Hope you like it. If you need any help,
just pop in to my room. It's room 5."
Cortaz: "Thanks for everything! We really appreciate it. See you
tomorrow morning!"
After Hermione had left...
Elisha: "Huh! I thought we'd get a room on our own."
Cortaz: "Well, at least we still got each other for company...besides,
you wouldn't want to stay here all by yourself, would you?"
Elisha: "Yeah. I guess you're right. Oh! There are our stuff and
belongings. C'mon, we've got lots to unpack and do."
Cortaz: "Right. Wait a sec...who paid for all this books and stuff
then? Hey! Look! Money! Must be from my parents...." sigh
Elisha: "Me too! Look! All here as you said. B-but, how am I to pay
you back?"
Cortaz: "Oh...urm...We'll think about it later."
Elisha: "Thanks! Thanks a million!"
Cortaz: "Let's pack later, right now we've gotta explore this place!
So cool..."
#$#$#$#$#$ After a thorough exploration... #$#$#$#$#$
Elisha: "Uh-oh...is it left or right to the girls' dorm?"
Cortaz: "Oh – shit. I think it's the right – no left – no right – left
– I donno...shit..."
Elisha: "I sincerely, honestly think it's left. Really...I think."
Cortaz: "Are you sure???? Absolutely positively sure????"
Elisha: "Yah yah! Anyway you go first, I left something in the great
hall."
Cortaz: "Alright...."
Cortaz nervously climbed up the marble staircase, praying hard that it
would be the correct stairs leading to the girls' dorm. But despite
her doubts, Cortaz faithfully trusted Elisha, and she plucked up the
courage and entered the dorm's corridor. Counting the doors she passed
in her mind as she walked, she finally reached the tenth ( her room
number ). Cortaz's stomach flipped, slowly she turned the knob.
( As/N: Cliff hanger! MUahAHahAhahHa!! )
a dense forest.
Cortaz: "W-what? H-huh? W-where am I? What happened?"
Cortaz sat up and looked around. Suddenly she heard a voice.
Keanna: "Cortaz! What are we doing here?!...Scary...Eew! Mosquito!!"
Then, Keanna saw a shadow loom over her.
Keanna: "Aaarrgghhhh!!! HELLPPPP!!!"
Elisha: "Stop screaming Kia! It's me! Elie!"
Keanna: "Oh..heehee...oops...sorry...it's scary ya know..."
Cortaz: "Why, this looks like the forbidden forest!! But what in the
world am I doing here??"
Elisha: "The what?? Forbidden forest? How did we come here?
But..that's......t-that's impossible!"
Soon Ly and Lisa joined the three with confused expressions.
Ly: "Wait a second...is this not Hogwarts?! My dream school!
But...it's real?!?!"
Lisa: "What's happening?"
Elisha: "Okay okay people! Let's think...where are we?"
Cortaz: "We are in a forest! So...how do we get outta here?"
Out of the blue, a figure of a guy stepped out from the darkness.
Draco: "What are you doing here? You do know that this is the
forbidden forest?"
Ly: "OH MY GOODNESS! DRACO!! FOR REAL?!"
Keanna: "Yucks!! ( hides behind Cortaz ) Psst...he's looking at you,
Ly!"
Just then, the five girls heard a rustling noise among the trees.
Cortaz: "What's that?!"
Ly: "Dunno..."
Lisa: "( gasps ) Ghost?"
Then, three people appeared between the trees. There were two boys and
a girl.
Draco: "Well, well, well, if it isn't Potter, mudblood and weasel..."
Harry: "Shaddup, Malfoy." ( notices Cortaz )
Suddenly the trees rustled again. A hairy leg poked out of the dense
bushes.
Ron: "Oh my goodness! It's Aragog!"
Aragog: "Who dares enter my territory?!?!"
Harry: "W-we are sorry! W-we were just leaving..."
Draco: "DUCK!"
But he was too late. Aragog's leg lashed out at Ly, whacking her in
the stomach.
Keanna: "LY! Are you alright?!?! Argghhh!!"
Before anyone could react, Aragog's leg whipped Keanna and Lisa and
flung them away.
Lisa Keanna: "AAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!! HEELPPPPPPPPP!!!!!"
Ron jumped up and grapped Keanna by the hand, and pulled her back, but
Lisa flew away into the dark forest. Elisha immediately ran after her.
Keanna: "Lisa!! Thanks!.... ( blush )"
Ron: "Uh...no prob. ( blush )"
Draco: "STUPEFY!"
Harry: "STUPEFY!"
Hemione: "STUPEFY!"
Just before the giant spider backed off into the forest, Ly fell to
the ground.
Aragog, retreated two steps, but came forth another three steps.
Harry: "STUPEFY!"
Hermione: "IPENDIMENTA!"
Draco: "STUPEFY!"
Keanna: "Whoa! How did'cha do that?! Teach me!"
Finally, Aragog retreated back into the shadows of the towering trees.
Draco: ( he picks up Ly ) "Hurry everyone, run! Before it chases after
us!"
The seven of them ran back to the Hogwarts grounds, Draco carrying Ly,
Ron following close behind Keanna and Harry pulling Cortaz in one hand
and Hermione in the other...
Later
In the hospital wing, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco and Cortaz were
crowded around two beds. In one of them lay Ly in a deep sleep. Keanna
was seated upon the other, with her hand in a sling.
Harry: "Hey, you sure you're alright?"
Cortaz: "Huh? Y-yeah. I think. Hey! You're the famous Harry Potter
I've read so much about, right?"( she noticed the scar )
Harry: "Urm, yeah. Haha. I'm not really that great."
Ron: "Kia, you okay? Does your arm still hurt?"
Keanna: ( blush ) "Yes, I'm okay...only a bit...but it's okay..."
( As/N: The boys are so worried 'bout the girls! )
All of a sudden everyone's eyes fell upon Draco who was staring at Ly
in a sort of trance.
Cortaz: "Oo-la-la!, somebody's in love!....( giggles )"
Draco: ( snaps out of trance ) "Eh? What?"
Cortaz: "Nevermind! Urm...so, where exactly are we?"
Hermione: "Didn't you know? You're in Hogwarts! The school of
witchcraft and wizardry! By the way, I'm Hermione! And you three are?"
Keanna: "Keanna Fuller! But you can call me Kia!"
Cortaz: "I'm Cortaz deon Amber. And she's Ly. Nice ta meet you."
Cortaz pointed at the motionless Ly, just as Professor Dumbledore came
in followed by Professor McGonagall.
Professor Dumbledore: "Ah, so these are the ones found outside in the
forbidden forest, are they not?"
Harry: "She ( points at Cortaz ), Kia and Ly."
Cortaz: "Urm...how did we get here?"
Professor Dumbledore: "Ah, that, I shall explain later. But now, you
shall be taken care of by Madam Promfey."
Keanna: "B-but, I'm so confused! First we appear in a forest, next
we're attacked by a giant spider or whatever, now Ly might die any
second and I want to go home!"
Harry Hermione Ron Draco: ( shocked ) "You mean you came from the
muggle world?!"
Keanna: "Urm, yeah, sorta...I dunno! But all I-"
Suddenly Keanna stopped talking and turned her head in the direction
of Ly.
Ly: "Urgh......where-am I? Am I dead? Cortaz? Kia? KIA! What's wrong
with your arm?! Where's Lisa and Elie?"
Draco: "That's right! There were two other just now..."
Just as Ly was about to jump out of bed her wound made her shriek in
pain and she fell onto the floor wincing...
Draco: "Ly!"
By then Draco had ran to Ly's side.
Draco: "Are you okay?!"
Professor McGonagall: "Yes. The two other, of course. Professor
Dumbledore, what will you do about them?"
Professor Dumbledore: "I will take care of that too. We shall not
discuss any of this here. Good day."
And with that, Professor Dumbledore walked out, with Professor
McGonagall close on his heels.
Somewhere in the depths of the forest, two figures pushed through the
maze of leafy branches and dense shrubs.
At Hogwarts...
Keanna and Ron were walking in the hallways to the hospital wing when
Keanna accidentally bumped into someone.
Neville: "Oops! Sorry-"
Suddenly he stopped.
Neville: "Oh my goodness! The girl next to Ron is so totally cute!"
Keanna ran her hand through her fousled hair and grinned, making her
look even more prettier.
Keanna: "Aw, no prob. ( wink ) See ya!"
As Ron saw Keanna winking at Neville, a look of jealousy crossed his
face. But it quickly turned into a smile as Keanna turned and tugged
at Ron's robes.
Keanna: "Let's go Ron!"
Ron: "Uh...okay..."
Suddenly as Ron followed Keanna, he was pulled back by Neville.
Neville: "Hey Ron! Who's that girl?"
Ron: "Keanna. She from the muggle world."( he was trying to keep his
voice calm )
Neville: "Well, muggle or not, she's definitely a hottie!"
Keanna: "Hey guys! Whatcha talking about? Let's go Ron!"
Ron: "Okay okay. See you around Neville."
Neville: "See ya...Keanna... "
At the hospital wing...
Hermione: "Ly, do you feel better?"
Ly: "Yeah...just a little stomach ache..."
Just then Draco came in.
Hermione: "Whoa. Never expected to see you here Malfoy."
Draco: "My whereabouts does not have your concern mudblood."
Hermione: "What are you doing here anyway? Where are your two goons?"
( glares at each other )
Ly: "Okay guys! Cool it!"
Next came Ron and Keanna.
Keanna: "Hey Ly! How are you? What's the commotion about?"
Hermione: "Hi Ron. What took you so long?"
Ron: "Hm? Oh, Kia and I ran into Neville."
Finally came Cortaz and Harry.
Cortaz: "Hi everyone! puff Sorry I'm late!" puff
Keanna: "Aahhhh!"
Hermione: "What? Kia you okay?"
Keanna: "Mosquito!"
Everyone: ( sweatdrop --)
Madam Promfey: "Please keep your voices down!"
Keanna: "Oops...sorry..."
Unexpectedly another visitor came in.
Cedric: "Hello people. Professor Dumbledore wants to meet the girls
from the muggle world."
Harry: "Hey Cedric. A prefect I see."
Cedric: ( smile ) "Yeah. Right, gotta job to be done."
Cortaz: "You talking 'bout us?"
Keanna: "Great! Now I'll find out the truth!"
Ly: "Okay. But I think I need help..."
Cedric: "Yeah. Don't ask me why."
As Keanna and Cortaz helped Ly walk out, Keanna heard a soft whisper
from Cedric.
Cedric: "See ya."
Keanna smiled in return, and then went lost in her thoughts.
( As/N: Harry led the way )
Along the way they met Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall: "This way. Please follow me."
Cortaz nodded and the three continued, leaving Harry behind. They
walked through many hallways and at last they came to a stop in front
of a huge stone eagle which had what seemed like a part of a staircase
stuck to it.
Professor McGonagall: "Go on. Professor Dumbledore will be waiting for
you."
This time Keanna nodded in reply. But all this while the three were
speechless as they wondered, what would await for them? Now the truth
was at the doorstep. Cortaz, Keanna and Ly stepped onto the stairs.
Then, Professor McGonagall said a password, suddenly, the stairs
started moving round and round, each time bringing them higher and
higher. Finally, when the stairs stopped, they saw in front of them
stood a door.
Cortaz: ( inhale )"Well, here we are."
Ly: "C'mon..."
Ly pushed the door open. To their surprise, there they stood in the
most magnificent room they ever seen in their entire lives. On the
walls hang portraits of Hogwart's past headmasters and mistresses. And
there were shelves and rows of books. Hundreds – maybe thousands of
them. But what caught their attention the most was a phoenix which
stood proudly on its' golden perch. The three were mesmerised by it's
wonderful mixture of colours.
Cortaz: "Oh wow...it's like a sunset..."
Keanna: "Its' fabulous..."
Ly: "I've never seen such a beautiful bird before..."
Professor Dumbledore: "Ah, I see you have met Fawkes."
Then, without warning, the phoenix burst into flames and turned into
ashes which dropped onto the golden plate below.
Cortaz: "Professor! It – It – it just caught fire!"
Keanna: "Sorry! We - we didn't mean to!"
Ly was still speechless and shocked by what had just happened.
Professor Dumbledore came down from the second level.
Professor Dumbledore: "Ah, and about time too. You see, when a phoenix
reaches to a certain age, it bursts into flames and will reborn again
from it's ashes."
Now everyone turned their focus back to the plate of ashes. Suddenly,
the ashes started moving. Then a tiny head poked out from the ashes
slowly.
Cortaz: "Wow..."
Keanna: "Oh! It's so cute!"
Ly: "Man! I must memorise this stuff!"
Professor Dumbledore: "The most extraordinary thing about a phoenix is
that it's tears can heal wounds. Ah...excellent creature..."
Cortaz: "Professor, I believe you wanted to meet us?"
Professor Dumbledore: "Ah, yes, of course. Please sit."
And with a wave of his wand, three chairs appeared right before them.
They sat and faced Professor Dumbledore in front of his desk. There
were several little silver intruments on which some were moving and
others not.
Professor Dumbledore: "I shall start with you, Miss Fuller."
Professor Dumbledore looked straight at her through his half-moon
glasses. Keanna felt a shiver run down her spine which made her shift
in her sit.
Professor Dumbledore: "Now, do you know of a woman named Sanjestia
Fuller?"
Keanna: "Yes...that's my mom...what's wrong?"
Professor Dumbledore: "Sanjestia Fuller was a daughter of a teacher of
Magical Arts. She accidentally found the portal to the muggle world
and escaped there.Sanjestia married a muggle with the same family name
as her. Miss Fuller, you are a mixed blood which means you're a
witch."
Keanna: ( shocked )"Huh?!?! Is that why I'm here? "
Ly: "Wow! Way to go Kia!"
Professor Dumbledore: "Miss Fuller, your mother had arranged for you
to be enrolled in Hogwarts. Unfortunately, she was killed in a
battle."
Keanna: "What?! How did she die? Nobody told me 'bout that...all they
told me was she died in a car crash..."
Cortaz: "I'm sorry Kia..."
Professor Dumbledore: "I will explain when the time is ripe. Miss
Bauldelairexpep, your father, was my cousin."
Ly: ( Very shocked ) "W-w-wa-wa-wa- that means I'm your – your – your
– impossible!"
Cortaz: "...Urm...so...what about me?"
Professor Dumbledore: "Miss Amber, you too are a pure blood like Miss
Bauldelairexpep –"
Ly: "If it's easier...you can call me Ly?"
Professor Dumbledore: "– Miss Ly. Miss Amber, your parents are a well-
known wizard and witch – Corehea Bchea Amber and Mr Vanred Amber. For
your safety, they sent you to the muggle world."
Cortaz: "But... it's impossible! I can't be a-a-a witch?! But what are
they protecting me from?"
Professor Dumbledore: "All I can say now is that your aunt and uncle
do not know of your parent's true identity. The frequent business
trips your parents go is when they make visits back here."
Cortaz: "Wow! So...where are they now?"
Keanna: "Hey! I'm a witch! I'll turn all of you into...urm...cute
liddle teddy bears!" ( everyone ignores her )
Professor Dumbledore: "I'm afraid to say that they have gone missing,
as to why your aunt and Uncle have proclaim them dead."
Cortaz: "No...I refuse to accept! What happened to them? You did sent
someone to find them didn't you?" sniff
Keanna: "It's okay, Cortaz...I'm sure they would be found...soon..."
aww...poor Cortaz!
Ly: "Don't worry! You can stay with me for now! They'll be found!"
Cortaz: "............Where are Lisa and Elie?"
Professor Dumbledore: "That I cannot answer. The key to them lies
within you. That will be all for now. You may return."
( As/ N: They've got a special room to stay in temporally )
Keanna: "Thank you Professor!" How could my mother leave me like that?
I really miss her...
Meanwhile...
Elisha: "Quick! Run!"
Lisa: "No! Look! My leg!"
Elisha: "Nevermind! I'll stall it! Run Lisa!!"
Lisa: "NO!! What about you?!"
Elisha: "JUST GO!!"
Elisha pushed Lisa forward and thrust a heavy rock at the monstrous
spider. Being weak she could not throw far, but it landed on its' leg.
Unfortunately, the spider was too strong for Elisha. It continued to
chase her. Lisa, from afar, watched fearfully as Aragog snapped at
Elisha in rage, slashing her arms.
Lisa: "You're bleeding!!"
Elisha: "RUN!!"
Lisa: "Okay! okay!"
Chae: "STUPEFY!"
Chae threw the spell at Aragog straight – on, forcing it to retreat
back deeper into the forest out of exhaustion...
Lisa: "Wha – what hap – happened??"
Elisha: "Eh? Who's that?"
Chae: "Yo girls! You two okay?"
Elisha: "Um...who are you?"
Lisa: "Y – yeah..."
Chae: "Chae Zacri. Just came here last year but I'm cramming to make
up for it. I'm in Hufflepuff third year."
Elisha: "HUH?"
Lisa: "How confusing..."
Elisha: "Urm...where are we? How did we get here? Where are Cortaz, Ly
and Kia?"
Chae: "Heh, you're in the forbidden forest. It's pretty dangerous out
here. Who are you gals? Where're you from?"
Elisha: "I'm Elisha. Just call me Elie."
Lisa: "I'm Lisa. Nice to meet you."
Chae: "But what are you doing here?"
Elisha: "Dunno."
Chae: "Wait a sec...MUGGLES?......Eh, nevermind that. I did better
take you back to Professor Dumbledore."
Lisa: "Who's that?"
Elisha: "Who?"
Lisa: "Oh! I remember! He's the principle of Hogwarts!" ( she reads
Harry Potter too )
Chae: "Nevermind. Professor Dumbledore will tell you everything."
Elisha: "......"
At Hogwarts' entrance, Cortaz suddenly spots Chae, Lisa and Elisha as
she walks pass.
Cortaz: "LISA! ELIE! Where on Earth have you been?!?!"
Elisha: "CORTAZ!!!"
Lisa: "Oh my goodness! HIIYAA!!!"
Elisha and Ly ran to give a huge hug. Both were almost in tears. They
thought that they would never see her again.
Chae: "You know each other?"
Cortaz: sniff "Yeah. Me and my other friends just met Professor
Dumbledore and he told us everything. We're are from the muggle
world."
Elisha: "D-uh! We're all classmates! Kia and Ly too!"
Lisa: "Yeah!" ( wink )
Cortaz: "OH-MY-GOODNESS! Elie! Your arm!! What happened?!?!"
When Cortaz hugged Elisha she felt her arm go wet.
Elisha: "Oh yeah! I forgot my arm was hurt. How come it's not
painful?"
Chae: "I put a painkiller spell on you."
Elisha: "Oh! Thanks!"
Chae: ( grin ) "No prob."
Meanwhile at the hospital wing...
Ly: "Hey! Why are your badges different colours? After all, we are in
the same school!"
Keanna: "Oh! I didn't notice that! Cool! Hey! Not fair! Yours ( points
at Hermione, Harry and Ron ) is nicer than mine!"
Harry: "Haha...it's that we in different houses! Gryfindor which is
our house, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw."
Keanna: "Ooohh... I hope I'm in Gryfindor! I just love the badge...and
how do we get them?"
Ly: "We have to be sorted..."
Keanna: "How did you know?"
Just then Elisha and Cortaz walked in, with Lisa and Chae close
behind.
Cortaz: "Hey everyone! Look who I brought! And can someone help Elie?
She's bleeding real badly..."
Elisha: "Not that bad anyway, Chae made it unpainful..."
Ly Keanna: "ELIE! LISA!"
Ly: "Ohhh...I'm so glad you're back..I missed you guys! Where were
you?"
Keanna: "Hey...we were worried sick!"
Hermione: "Whao. It looks awful..."
Chae: "No worries. Madam Promfey will take care of her!"
Elisha: "Uhhhhhhh....."
Then Elisha fell to the ground and fainted.
Lisa: "AHH!!"
Keanna: "Arhh! Elie! Are you okay?!"
Hemione: "Oh my goodness! Chae! Why didn't you notice she was losing
so much blood??"
Chae: "But she didn't tell me!"
Harry: "Stop bickering! Help her to the bed! Madam Promfey!"
As Chae helped her, he saw the amount of blood that was collected on
the marble floor and that made him feel quite guilty.
Ly: "Elie! Oh man..."
Cortaz: "Look at her...she's so pale!"
Hermione: "She'll be fine. Just a loss of blood." ( glares at Chae )
Madam Promfey: "Excuse me! I've got a patient to take care of!"
Cortaz: "Huh? Oh hey Malfoy! Didn't know you came in."
Ly: "Malfoy!"
Keanna: "Hi Draco...." yucks
Lisa: "Hi.."
Harry: "What are you doing here anyway, Malfoy?"
Draco: "Nothing. I'm leaving."
Keanna: "Bye!" Yes! He's gone!
Cortaz: ( giggle ) "I know why he came! He came to see Ly!" ( giggle
)
Draco walks out, but not before taking a last glance at Ly.
Ly: "......oh my goodness......"
Cortaz: "Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!"
Keanna: "Ha! Someone's in love!"
Harry: "Eh? What are you girls talking about?"
Cortaz: "Uhh...."
Lisa: "Ummm..."
Keanna: "Err...it's girl talk!"
Elisha: "Uh......."
Chae: "You're awake!"
Elisha: "Can I have a glass of water please?"
Lisa: ( pours Elisha a glass of water )
Elisha: "Thanks!"
Chae: "So erm...are you guys enrolling in Hogwarts?"
Elisha: "You mean we're like gonna stay?"
Cortaz: "I guess we might be sorted out with the first years..."
Chae: "Ah, I hope you get into Gryfindor. You won't be happy with my
bro. in Ravenclaw...he's quite cold."
Keanna: "Oh...err...is he cute?" ( everyone ignores her and Hermione
rolls her eyes )
Ly: "So when will we be sorted? Professor Dumbledore says that he will
make time for-"
Professor Dumbledore: "Good afternoon!"
Elisha: "EEEKK! My goodness you gave me a fright!"
Keanna: "Yo! Professor! You rock man!"
Lisa: "Hi Professor!"
Cortaz: "Professor Dumbledore!"
Ly: "Will we be sorted now?"
Harry: "Professor! ......Psst...Hermione! Is there a school rule that
says you are allowed to greet the teaches in this manner?"
Hermione: "Well, I don't remember any. But I'm not sure if you can."
Professor Dumbledore: "Ah, I've come to tell you that the day after
tomorrow we shall have a small meeting to sort the young girls in the
great hall."
Elisha: "Wait! But, I still do not know why am I here for!"
Lisa: "Yeah...me too!"
Professor Dumbledore: "I will tell you later after you are sorted into
your house. Now take the time to recover."
Before anyone else could ask another question, Professor Dumbledore
vanished.
Keanna: "Wow! How did he do that?"
Cortaz: "He's a wizard Kia." --
Ly: "O-kay! I can't wait for the sorting to begin!"
Harry: sigh "Anyway, welcome to Hogwarts girls."
Then Hermione took out a pen and a book.
Hemione: "Um, can I have your full names again? So I won't forget."
Keanna : "Oh! I'm Keanna Leanne Fuller. Call me Kia!"
Elisha: "I'm Elisha Valentine!"
Cortaz: "Cortaz deon Amber!"
Ly: "Urm...I think you can just call me Ly...cause..." ( Cortaz,
Keanna, Elisha and Lisa giggles )
Lisa: "I'm Lisa Lichlas!"
Chae: "Alright! Well, hope you all get into Gryfindor!"
#########Sorting Day########
The girls stood in the great hall, admiring the floating candles and
the ceiling that was enchanted to be exactly like the weather outside.
Then, Ly noticed four huge hour glasses.
Ly: "Professor Dumbledore, what are those hour glasses for?"
Professor Dumbledore: "The house points. Red for Gryfindor, green for
Slytherin, blue for Ravenclaw and yellow for Hufflepuff."
Lisa: "Oh..."
Cortaz: "Wow...this is so amazing...so.. so...magical..."
Keanna: "Cool...hey! This ( points to Gryfindor ) has the most
points!"
Elisha: "So complicated! Hope we get to be together!"
Ly: "Yeah! Good luck guys..."
The five of them exchanged hand shakes with each other, at the same
time feeling excited yet nervous... Finally, Professor McGonagall came
in to the great hall holding a black and crumpled old hat.
Professor McGonagall: "Sorry I'm late. Managed to get a relieve
teacher for my class. Alright, shall we begin?"
Professor Dumbledore: "Yes, of course."
( As/ N: We skipped the sorting hat's song part. )
Professor McGonagall placed the hat on a stool and took out a
parchment.
Professor McGonagall: "Cortaz deon Amber!"
Cortaz looked at her friends and gave them a little nod before walking
up to the stool bravely. The hat was placed on Cortaz. She could
almost hear her heart thumping furiously against her chest.
Hat: "Ah...yes...hm...good deal of bravery...Hufflepuff, Gryfindor...
decisions decisions... yes! GRYFINDOR!"
Cortaz: "YEAH! ( she high-fived Ly )"
Professor McGonagall: "Elisha Valentine!"
Cortaz: "Good luck Elie..."
Elisha walked up to the stool nervously, she felt herself trembling
slightly. She closed her eyes and waited for the results...
Hat: "Hm...why...this shall be...GRYFINDOR!"
Elisha: "Oh my goodness! That was fast!"
The two girls looked on happily, only to be disappointed.
Professor McGonagall: "Keanna Leanne Fuller!"
Keanna slowly and cautiously walked towards the stool, as if it would
eat her up. She watched as the hat was placed on her head.
Hat: "Let me see...ah...yes...no...oh dear...this one will go
to...HUFFLEPUFF!"
Keanna slowly walked towards Cortaz and Elisha, and hugged them both.
Although she wore a smile, there were tears in her eyes.
Keanna: sob sob "Bye guys..." why must we be separated?
Cortaz: "Aw..Kia...don't be upset...we still can see each other,
right? Besides, Cedric is in Hufflepuff..." ( wink )
Elisha: "It's okay, maybe Lisa or Ly will be with you!"
Professor McGonagall: "Lisa Lichlas!"
The hat had barely touched her head when it shouted-
Hat: "Ah...easy one...HUFFLEPUFF!"
Lisa came down from the stool and walked over to the tearing Keanna
and gave Cortaz and Elisha a weary smile.
Lisa: "At least we're together!"
Cortaz: ( smile as wildly as she could )
Elisha: mouth might break..."
Keanna: Sniff "Yeah...at least Lisa's with me..."
Now everyone focused their eyes on Ly.
Ly: "Oh man...why am I last...( take deep breath ) well...here goes
nothing!"
Professor McGonagall: "Ly Bauldelairexpep!"
Ly walked up to the hat wondering whether it would be Hufflepuff or
Gryfindor.
Hat: "Hm...this one is hard...a cunning mind yet quite intelligent...
where to put you..."
Ly sat on the stool for what seem like ages until...
Hat: "SLYTHERIN!"
The four girls gasped. Ly sat on the stool, until finally she removed
the hat, with tears streaming down her face.
Ly: "I'm sorry.......but we'll still be friends forever right?"
More tears streamed down her face, her eyes shining.
Cortaz: "Of course we'll still be friends! Don't be silly!"
Keanna: "Ly...don't be sad! Come on...look on the bright side of
life!"
Elisha: "Aw...anyway you are with Draco..."
Lisa: "Yeah! We are forever friends!"
Harry: "Well, good luck Ly...but hope you don't follow Draco and his
ways..."
Keanna: "Going to Slytherin makes you turn bad?" Oh! Now I'm REALLY
glad I wasn't sorted into Slytherin! Phew!
Elisha: "By the way Harry what are you doing here?"
Harry: "Eh, Hermione and I are supposed to take the Gryfindors to
their dorms."
Cortaz: "Great! Can we go now?"
Lisa: "...How about us?"
Harry: "I guess Cedric or somebody will come for the Hufflepuffles,
and ( frown ) Malfoy."
Ly: "Draco?!"
Elisha: "Heh heh, Ly's crush's coming!"
Lisa: "Haha!"
Cortaz: "Psst!...Let's see what will happen!" ( say to everyone except
Ly )
Keanna: "Sure!"
Professor Dumbledore: "Now that all of you have been sorted, here's an
official warm welcome to Hogwarts!"
Cortaz: "Thanks Professor!"
Elisha: "Yay!"
Ly: "Yeah...can't wait to begin lessons!"
Keanna: "Yuck! You like lessons?!"
Lisa: "Oh c'mon Kia, you know Ly!"
Professor Dumbledore: "Alright, hope you'll find Hogwarts suitable.
Professor McGonagall and I shall take our leave now."
Then the two Professors walked out of the great hall with their long
robes flying behind them.
Hemione: "Okay people, the others are here."
Draco: "......"
Elisha: "Hi Malfoy! Hi Cedric! And hi Chae!"
Keanna: "Hey hey!" Cedric! Oh...he's so good looking!
Lisa: "Hi!"
Ly: "......."
Cortaz: "Hey everyone. When can we go Harry?"
Zacri: "I'm not Chae. I'm his twin Zacri."
Keanna: "Oh. Hi Zacri!"
Zacri: -- "I'm here for the Ravenclaws."
Lisa: "Oh..."
Cortaz: "Urm...there aren't any Ravenclaws..." --
Harry: "No Ravenclaws Zacri."
Zacri: "Oh, nevermind." ( walks away )
Keanna: "Bye..." What a dummy!
Draco: ( frown ) "So who's in Slytherin?"
Ly: "Me!"
Draco: ( surprised ) "Okay, urm, follow me."
Ly: "Bye guys!"
Everybody: "Bye!" ( sniff )
When Draco and Ly left the great hall...
Cortaz: "Hahahahahaha! Did you see the expression on Ly's face?
Hahaha................"
Keanna: "Yea! So funny!" ( laughs )
Lisa: "Heehee!......"
Elisha: "Heehee...." ( giggle – non – stop )
Harry: "Okay okay. Cortaz, Elie, you are Gryfindors, right?"
Elisha: "Yep!"
Cortaz: "Uh-huh."
Hemione: "Right! Let's go!"
Hufflepuff common room
Cedric put a hand on Keanna's head and ruffled her hair.
Cedric: "I guess I'll be your big brother from now on."
Keanna: ( blush ) He touched me!
Cedric: ( pats Lisa's head ) "Let's go! I booked the nicest room for
you two."
Lisa: "Thanks!"
Gryffindor's common room...
Elisha: "So what's the password again?"
Harry: "You'd better not forget!"
Hemione: "It's JELLYBEANS!"
Elisha: "Urm...okay..."
Cortaz: "Oh – my – goodness! This – is – so – grand!! Look at the
fireplace! The ceiling! The floor! The –"
Harry: "Eh, okay. The girls' dorm is on the RIGHT. Remember!"
Cortaz: "Oh...so the left is the boys', right?"
Elisha: "I'll remember!"
Harry: "And...urm...oh yeah! Before I forget, breakfast starts at 7:30
tomorrow and lessons at 8:30 sharp."
Cortaz: "Wait! We don't have books or anything!"
Hermione: "Oh, that's done. They're all in your room. C'mon, I'll show
you to your room."
In Cortaz and Elisha's room...
Hermione: "Well, here we are. Hope you like it. If you need any help,
just pop in to my room. It's room 5."
Cortaz: "Thanks for everything! We really appreciate it. See you
tomorrow morning!"
After Hermione had left...
Elisha: "Huh! I thought we'd get a room on our own."
Cortaz: "Well, at least we still got each other for company...besides,
you wouldn't want to stay here all by yourself, would you?"
Elisha: "Yeah. I guess you're right. Oh! There are our stuff and
belongings. C'mon, we've got lots to unpack and do."
Cortaz: "Right. Wait a sec...who paid for all this books and stuff
then? Hey! Look! Money! Must be from my parents...." sigh
Elisha: "Me too! Look! All here as you said. B-but, how am I to pay
you back?"
Cortaz: "Oh...urm...We'll think about it later."
Elisha: "Thanks! Thanks a million!"
Cortaz: "Let's pack later, right now we've gotta explore this place!
So cool..."
#$#$#$#$#$ After a thorough exploration... #$#$#$#$#$
Elisha: "Uh-oh...is it left or right to the girls' dorm?"
Cortaz: "Oh – shit. I think it's the right – no left – no right – left
– I donno...shit..."
Elisha: "I sincerely, honestly think it's left. Really...I think."
Cortaz: "Are you sure???? Absolutely positively sure????"
Elisha: "Yah yah! Anyway you go first, I left something in the great
hall."
Cortaz: "Alright...."
Cortaz nervously climbed up the marble staircase, praying hard that it
would be the correct stairs leading to the girls' dorm. But despite
her doubts, Cortaz faithfully trusted Elisha, and she plucked up the
courage and entered the dorm's corridor. Counting the doors she passed
in her mind as she walked, she finally reached the tenth ( her room
number ). Cortaz's stomach flipped, slowly she turned the knob.
