A/N:OMG We are finally going to find out which house Melevera is going to
be in. To be honest, I was eager to find out myself! It took a lot of
thought to decide, that is. I knew which it would be when I wrote the
chapter, OBVIOUSLY! So, you can all wait to be surprized...Will it be sneaky
Slytherin? Hard-working Huffelpuff? Brave Gryffindor? Or Oh-so smart
Ravenclaw? Lets find out!
CHAPTER 4: The Feast
The hat took a deep breath and announced to the whole hall in a booming voice... "RAVENCLAW!". Everyone at the Ravenclaw table cheered and gave a standing ovation, they were so happy to have the honor of hosting their new and exotic student.
Harry was crushed. He couldn't eat a bite the whole feast, he just sat there staring over at Melevera. Harry wasn't alone, Ron was starving himself too, staring over at Luna, who stared mournfully back at him like a lost puppy. "Oh, how will I ever get to see Mele now?" agonized Harry. "Blimey, Luna, I miss you already" Sighed Ron.
Hermione said, "I'm sick of you always talking about those two! So they're Ravenclaws! We're Gryffindors, so let's not forget it! You can see them on the weekends, and you can see them on vacation! Meanwhile, we should be focusing on things that have to do with Gryffindor, and your classes!" Hermione ate a few bites of salad angrily, glaring at them. They ignored her, and kept on watching the Ravenclaw table. Hermione said to Ron, "Ron! Are you even listening to me? Luna is just a dreamer and she's not even that smart! Why are you so obsessed??! You barely know her at all, you just met last year!" He didn't answer. "Fine!" she said, and looked at Harry, "I know you are upset that Melevera isn't a Gryffindor, but the hat is never wrong.... Besides, there are lots of people in Gryffindor, it's not like she'd be the most important even if she was in this house too." Harry answered, "Wouldn't she? I've never met anyone like her." Hermione gave up, for now, frowning.
Mele, meanwhile, though upset that she didn't get into Gryffindor, was making fast friends with Luna. "Hi, I'm Melevera Dionysia! You go out with Harry Potter's friend, Ron Weasley, right?" said Mele. Luna answered, "Yes, I do! Nice to meet you Melevera, I'm Luna Lovegood." Mele smiled and said, "That's a pretty name! You can call me by my nickname, Mele, if you like. Nobody calls me by my full name, except for maybe teachers....and my parents if they're giving a lecture about something." Mele made a face and began to imitate her father's booming voice: "Melevera Elizabeth Dionysia, why isn't this mess cleaned up yet?! Why aren't you doing your summer reading?! Turn that music off this instant!!! You're grounded!!!" Luna laughed like crazy over this, and it was all she could do to keep from spitting milk everywhere. Some people looked around to see what was so funny, she was laughing so much. "That sounds just like MY dad!" Luna giggled. "Where are you going, Luna Anne Lovegood?! Not to see that Weasley boy are you? Wear a longer skirt! In my day..." They both fell into hysterics, laughing and laughing. "Of course, my dad is always busy with his newspaper these days, it gets a lot of buisness since Voldemort was found out and Harry gave it his story. What does your dad do for a job?" Luna asked. Mele answered, "Actually, he and my mom are Aurors. We came from Canada so they could help in the fight against Voldemort." "My mom used to work with the Ministry of Magic, studying ways to fight the Dark Lord's forces. That was before...well, now it's just me and my dad." Luna said. "But it's okay, I've gotten over it. I still miss her, but not as painfully as I missed her at first." Mele understood. She herself had lost family in the fights against Voldemort's supporters, so she knew how it was. She thought to herself, "Maybe that is why Harry was so upset on the train when I first met him....maybe he too lost family or close friends thanks to Voldemort" Then she and Luna dug into the delicious plates of food in front of them, and talked about Harry and Ron, and what this year was going to be like.
Just then Dumbledore stood up, and gave his speech. He said the usual things about how students were not allowed to go into the Forbidden Forest, and that Filch had lots of rules students had to follow, and that he (Dumbledore, not Filch!) was glad to welcome in new students, and then he became very serious. "Now, students, we cannot forget that the War has begun, between the dark forces of Lord Voldemort, and those who fight against him. I cannot tell you how important it is that we stay together as a school. To encourage school togetherness, I have arranged a, shall we say, a school function, to be held in February." He paused for effect, and the students awaited the news breathlessly. "Yes, I can tell some of you have already guessed: A school ball!" Everyone talked to the people next to them, and some clapped at the news. "I know that very few of you will be able to get dress robes over the short winter vacation, especially as, for safety reasons, many of your parents have decided to let you stay here, at Hogwarts, for winter break. For that reason, I have approved an optional Hogwarts-sponsored trip to Madame Malkin's the weekend before the ball." (More cheers at this.) "But students, do not forget that this is months away, and do not lose focus on your classes, your extracurricular activities—"("Yeah, like Quidditch!" thought Harry, Mele, and Ron, among others.), "...And not breaking the rules." Dumbledore said that last part with a twinkle in his eye, and looked over at a few students he knew acted up a lot. "I would also like to ask you to welcome our new Defence against the Dark Arts' teacher, whom some of you know already....REMUS LUPIN!!!!!" When Dumbledore said this, Lupin stood up and gave a short wave, before sitting back down. Harry could not believe that he hadn't noticed Lupin there at the teachers' table before. He guiltily realized that he had been so distracted about Mele that he hadn't noticed Lupin. Finally, the feast ended, and everyone began walking back to there dormitories.
