Disclaimer- J.K Rowling is the smartest woman alive. She would probably be appalled if she read this melodramatic crap. I hope that this doesn't put ideas in any of your heads about what might happen in future HP books because I KNOW NOTHING!!! I don't own any of the characters either... This whole thing is therapy (because I was upset over the character she killed off) I'm just posting it because people told me to…
"First Years!" he heard Hagrid say loudly. Harry was so glad to hear Hagrid's voice, since last year he was missing for several weeks of the term. He was glad to see there was an absence of injuries.
Harry enthusiastically waved to Hagrid who smiled and waved back. Him and his friends walked over to Hagrid, but Cara was the first one to reach him. "Miss Fair, yer back! I'm sorry to hear about yer dad." he said giving her a gentle pat on the back. "I didn't know you knew Hagrid" Ron said to her. Cara laughed "Of course I knew him. He was in the order with my dad. When Dad was younger, Hagrid saved him from a large spider when he went into the dark forest"
Ron shivered "I REALLY don't like Spiders"
"Me neither" Cara agreed. "They give me the creeps."
Harry's stomach began to growl as he walked in the great hall with his friends. Luna wandered off to the Ravenclaw table. She opened her magazine and resumed reading. Harry sat down in between Hermione and Neville at the Gryffindor table. "I wonder who the new defense against the dark arts teacher is" Ginny asked. "I don't know, but he gave us a really weird assignment. It was a question sheet that asked us our deepest and darkest secrets." Harry told him. Ron who was now doing it was writing in answers in his sheet. He was biting his lip. The teachers all took their places at the staff table. Harry looked at Dumbledore who gave him a wink and Harry waved. Dumbledore stood up and everyone in the great hall fell silent. Draco Malfoy and his friends continued talking completely ignoring Dumbledore. McGonagall brought the bench with the sorting hat in the center of the room as Hagrid and the first years who looked even smaller than usual followed behind them looking absolutely petrified. One of the little boys looked very familiar He had deep red hair,green eyes, tanned skin and a big toothy smile. He saw that his robes were on crooked, but he didn't seem to mind. He turned around and Harry saw that on the other side of his cheek, he had a black and blue mark. Still, he looked like he was overall, a very happy go lucky kid.
The sorting hat all of a sudden, sprang to life:
Brave new students Welcome here to learn and protect yourself from out there
For it is true The outward foe has risen again and created woe
It is time again So I fear To divide in four Your young year
The Gryffindors;
They fight the battles and show bravery without a hassle
The hufflepuffs Their friendship is true Loyalty lay in them Their spirit will comfort you
The Ravenclaws My clever friends Their wits will guide them To the very end
The Slytherins Well.... learn to love For it doesn't matter If you don't have pure blood.
Each house has a quality That they could teach Others around them It could reach
Stand together so I say It won't do good If you stay away
We are weaker When we're divided So stay strong and stay United
Keep together and you will find We'll beat the enemy and all be fine.
The Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws cheered very loudly. There wasn't much cheering from the Slytherin table however for obvious reasons.
Proffessor McGonagall started calling out names.
"Abbott, Jack" she said loudly. Harry saw Hannah from the Hufflepuff table give her nervous brother a pat on the back as he walked up the aisle toward the sorting hat. "HUFFLEPUFF!" he heard the sorting hat say very loudly as Jack ran over to Hannah and gave her a high five. A few other names were called out before it was the red haired boy's turn. He could have sworn that Proffessor McGonagall gave him a quick side glance before calling out. "Evans, Mark"
Harry gasped. He looked at Ron and Hermione who looked back at him just as shocked. Harry's full attention went toward the boy. He looked very excited to be up on the stool in front of everyone. For the first few seconds he was on the stool he was smiling. The sorting hat was taking quite a long time with him. The smile started to fade a little. Something was wrong. He must not like what it was saying to him. The sorting hat opened it's mouth"SLy-
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO" Mark screamed!
A commotion came over the room and the slytherin table gave Mark very dirty looks. He was on the stool for another minute.
"GRYFFINDOR!!!" the sorting hat shouted.
Everyone at the Gryffindor table cheered and clapped loudly as Mark hopped off the stool happily, but none clapped more than Harry Potter who experienced the exact same thing. The sorting continued. Harry couldn't wait for it to be over so he could talk to the little boy with his mother's maiden name. Mark sat far away from Harry and his friends, but happily introduced himself to the gryffindors around him at the side of the table where the younger students usually sat. "The speeches are for later" Dumbledore said smiling at the students "Tuck in!"
The usual mountains of food piled up on the four house tables. Just then, a tall, thin, man with spiked brown hair that was starting to gray, and a long black cloak walked into the great hall. He looked cheerful "Ah, Christopher. Glad you could make it!" Dumbledore said with a welcoming wave.
"Professor Dumbledore!" he said sincerely shaking his hand. The great hall went quiet once more as this new professor stood next to Hagrid.
"Students", this is your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. His name is Professor Inspir" Dumbledore said with a smile "I daresay, you'll enjoy his classes a lot more than a certain high inquisitor from last term"
The cheering then got indecently loud
"You may continue eating unless the defense against the arts teacher wants to give a speech" Dumbledore said with a half smile
Professor Inspir shook his head "There are times for proper introductions. This would be the time, but this delicious apple pie is looking at me and I have had a long journey. I am sure you will all agree." he said to yet another outburst of applause. Harry was finishing his first helping of pork chops when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and was glad to see, that it was Mark Evans. "Hi" he said smiling "Oh" Harry said turning around. "Hi"
"So you DON'T go to St. Brutus's Center for Incurably Criminal Boys " he said staring at him. Ron laughed out loud. "Harry, a criminal! He's the first one to go on an adventure to save a life . Did the muggles tell you that one kid"
Mark nodded smiling " I didn't think you were a bully, there's this idiot that lives in your house that is though. I didn't catch or care to catch his name though. Man, he think's he's really tough, but the first time he was blasted backwards and landed on his fat behind 20 feet away when he tried to punch me.... he ran away as fast as he could."
"Dudley is my cousin" Harry told Mark rolling his eyes. "He's quite humorous. I used to be scared of him, but I know have a lot of fun playing with his mind"
"He gave me this" Mark said pointing at his head "He tripped over a basketball and fell on my face."
Harry, Ron and Hermione laughed.
"Oh, and I heard them talking. Your cousin's idiot friend had a gun and was planning to do you in with it. I tried warning you with an owl, but you must have left already" Mark said cautiously Harry smiled "Thank you, but friend Ron's brothers showed up. They had fun with them"
"So I guess Dudley's bullying days are over?" Mark asked
"No" Harry replied "but still, it's fun to watch him squirm knowing he's going against a wizard"
Harry then thought of his mother's maiden name being "Evans"
"Hey Mark," he started to say. "I have a question for you"
Dumbledore then decided that was a great moment to announce that prefects should take the first years up to the dormitories.
"See you later" he said to Mark denied of possibly the knowledge of another cousin. Mark waved goodbye as Hermione, Ginny and Ron led Mark and the other first years upstairs. Thinking he would ask him tomorrow, he followed Cara and Neville up the stairs through the shortcuts. He gave the fat lady the password and went up the stairs to his dormitory. He fell asleep on his comfortable four poster bed and fell straight asleep.
"First Years!" he heard Hagrid say loudly. Harry was so glad to hear Hagrid's voice, since last year he was missing for several weeks of the term. He was glad to see there was an absence of injuries.
