I do not own HP characters and plots. I only own my own character.
Chapter Two; The Sorting Hat, A Interesting Development and Harry Potter
Sean walked up to the compartment that had the messy black hair. He knew who was their but
he didn't say anything.
"Hi, can I sit here?" He asked Harry.
"Sure." Harry replied back.
"Thanks, so what're your names, mine's Sean Moonstone by the way." Sean said.
"I'm Harry Potter, this is Ron Weasley and her name's Hermione Granger." He said pointing to
each of them as he said their names.
"It's nice to meet you." Sean said. "Has the food trolley come by yet?" He asked.
"No, not yet." Harry replied.
"Oh, okay." Sean told Harry becoming silent while he waited for the food trolley.
Harry leaned over to Ron and whispered, "Ron, he didn't go weird when he heard my name, he
didn't even glance at my scar like most people do."
"Yeah, that is kind of weird." Ron whispered back to Harry.
"Anything off the trolley dears'?" The familiar voice of the trolley lady broke the silence.
"Do you want anything Sean? I'll buy." Harry asked Sean.
"Sure, why not." Sean said and sighed after he said this.
"We'll take the lot." Harry said as he held out a handful of Galleons.
……A few minutes later……
"So Sean how'd you come to Hogwarts? I mean I never saw you the first five years." Harry
asked.
"I just got the letter the past summer. I was going into Grade Eleven at muggle high school when
I found out I was a wizard from the letter. I'm actually muggle-born like you Hermione." Sean
explained.
Hermione gasped. "How'd you know I was muggle-born?"
"Umm, I guessed." Sean said.
"Oh. Well looks like we best get changed we're nearly at Hogwarts." Hermione told them.
They changed into their robes and waited for the train to start. When it finally stopped they got
out and walked up to see the familiar face of Rubeus Hagrid.
"Hi Hagrid." The three said while Sean just muttered, "Hi." And walked over to the carriages
and got into one. A couple minutes later Harry, Ron and Hermione got into the same carriage
and for the short trip from the station to the school there was a lot of silence.
"Looks like we're here." Hermione said breaking the silence.
The four got out and walked into the Entrance Hall. Harry, Ron and Hermione headed for the
Great Hall. Sean was about to go there when Professor McGonagall called to him. "Mr.
Moonstone, over here." Sean walked over and asked McGonagall, "Yes Professor?"
"You have to come with the first year's Sean, so you can be sorted. Don't worry," She said as
she saw his look of annoyance. "You'll be the first one since you're a sixth year."
"Okay Professor." He said.
The Great Hall doors opened and the first years, Professor McGonagall and himself walked in.
When they finally got to the front Sean could see all the people staring at him as they did Harry
in his first year. Professor Dumbledore stood up and opened his mouth, "Welcome one and all
to another year at Hogwarts. As usual the Forbidden Forest is forbidden to all students. Now
we would like to welcome a new student to our school. Please welcome Sean Moonstone. He
is starting school immediately in sixth year even though he has never been in our school or any
other wizarding school. He comes to us from Canada and I would like all of you to make him
feel welcome. Now let the sorting begin." He concluded.
Professor McGonagall brought out the Sorting Hat and placed it on the stool. She opened her
scroll of the names of students and called out just as she had said, "Sean Moonstone."
Sean walked up to the stool hoping to get into Gryffindor and sat underneath the hat. "Hmm this
is difficult," the hat said. "This is interesting too, hmm I'll have to tell Dumbledore. But for now I'll
put you in 'GRYFFINDOR!'" The hat shouted as Sean took off the hat and walked over to the
Gryffindor Table.
Harry, Ron and Hermione stood up and shook his hand as he sat down. "Good job Sean.
Welcome to Gryffindor." They said to him.
"Thanks." He said. Then he leaned over to the three so no one else could hear. "Guys something
that hat said to me really made me feel nervous."
"What did he say?" Ron asked.
"He said, 'This is interesting too, hmm I'll have to tell Dumbledore.' What do you think it
means?" Sean asked the three.
"Well that hat is very strange," Harry said. "We'll just have to see what happens."
……A few minutes later after the Sorting Ceremony finally was over…
"Now fill up." Dumbledore said. As usual the plates immediately filled up in front of the students.
As the four friends began to eat Sean continued to keep an eye on the Head table. At the end of
the Welcoming feast the four watched Professor McGonagall walk out of the room behind the
teachers' table and over to Dumbledore. She leant down and whispered in his ear, Dumbledore
nodded, stood up and called, "Sean Moonstone, can you enter the room behind the teachers'
table." Sean glanced at the others then walked up to the teachers' table turned left and went into
the room behind the teachers' table.
A few seconds later he was joined by Professor Dumbledore. "Hello Sean."
"Hello Professor." Sean replied.
"I suppose you are wondering why you have been called here." Dumbledore said and Sean
nodded. "Well, the Sorting Hat told Professor McGonagall what it found when it searched your
head for school house qualities. It seems in your head there were many..well interesting..thoughts
and powers."
"What?!" Sean said stunned.
"Sean as you probably noticed their was no teacher for Defence Against the Dark Arts at the
Teachers' table. That's because I expected this to happen when I had Professor McGonagall
send you the letter you received. Now Sean I would like you to be the new Defence Against the
Dark Arts teacher."
"But how can I?" Sean asked. "I mean I've only been part of the wizarding for a short while. I
doubt I'll even know what a Knarl is. I've only read about it in the books." Sean said.
"Sean, Sean, don't worry. I have faith in you. You will do fine. Plus I've also requested that
Professor Lupin come and help you teach the class. So do not worry you won't be alone."
Professor Dumbledore told Sean.
"Oh… okay, I guess that's alright. I'll do it." Sean replied to Dumbledore. "Am I to know call
the teachers by their first names now?"
"Yes you may if you want, but only when you're not in class. Three of the five days you will have
to teach. On those days one of the four classes you will have to take seeing as how I still want
you to take classes. You will also still stay in Gryffindor and take classes when you are not
teaching. Oh and Sean, I have talked to Minerva and she has decided that you will be the new
Head of Gryffindor. This will start tomorrow." Dumbledore explained.
"Okay." Sean said.
"Now Sean tomorrow when you come down to the Great Hall you will come and sit at the
Gryffindor table. I would like it to be a surprise for your first classes. You will get your teaching
and student classes timetables tomorrow during owl post. However do not show the schedules
to anyone."
"Okay." Sean said as he began to head out of the room.
"Oh and Sean, three more things." Dumbledore said.
"Yes Albus? Man that feels weird." Sean said
"First of all, you are the one who talks to the Gryffindor Portrait and discusses what the
password to the Common room should be. Second of all I will keep the students for a few more
minutes so you can apparate and discuss with the portrait what it should be. And third here is a
letter to Mr. Potter about him being Quidditch Captain and you should know that I expect that
you will try out for it."
"Okay Albus. I'll see you tomorrow." –POP! – And with that Sean was upstairs.
Sean appeared around the corner from the Gryffindor Portrait. He walked around the corner
and said hello to the 'Fat Lady.'
"Ahh Sean. It's nice to meet you. Dumbledore has told me about you being the new Head of
Gryffindor House. Well I suppose we should decide what the password should be, shall we?"
"Yes, umm should I call you the 'Fat Lady' or the 'Pink Lady.'?"
"Whatever you wish dear." The 'Fat Lady' replied.
"Umm I was thinking for the first password it could be a candy from my world, the Muggle
World." Sean told the 'Fat Lady.'
"Well it's up to you, dear." The 'Fat Lady' replied.
"Umm how about 'Hubba Bubba?' Sean asked.
"Okay dear." The 'Fat Lady' replied.
Sean apparated downstairs and told Dumbledore what the Gryffindor password was. "Hmm
'Hubba Bubba,' good choice. I really enjoy that brand of gum." Dumbledore said. "Okay, I'll
make sure to tell the prefects and the Head Boy and Girl the password and that you're the new
Head. Oh and don't worry I'll make sure that they keep it a secret."
Sean apparated back upstairs in front of the portrait. "Hubba Bubba." Sean said and entered the
Common Room. "Just as I imagined." He said looking around. When he was done that he
walked up the stairs of the dormitory and went into the room he saw his trunk in. He dropped
down on his bed and waited for Harry and Ron to come in since he saw their trunks in front of
the beds on the left and right of his bed.
He had nearly fallen asleep when he opened his eyes to see Harry and Ron getting ready for
bed.
"Sean." Harry whispered. "What happened?"
"You'll see tomorrow guys." He said and then went to bed smiling.
