What the hell" said Draco with a loud scream. Something heavy had sat one his stomach and was hurting him bad. With an almighty shove, he threw the heavy something of him and slowly got up only to be greeted by a red-faced, red-haired Ginny, who was lying on the floor.

"What is your bloody problem, weasel? Don't you have anything better to do? Said Draco in a disgruntled voice. He did not like being woken like that.

Ginny stood up, her face still red. She gave him a weak apology and prepared to leave when Draco spoke up, "what are you doing here? It must be 2 in the night."

Ginny gave an unladylike snort. 'He must have slept her all night.' She thought to herself.

"Look at the time, ferret boy. It is nearly seven in the morning. Time to wake up you dope" said Ginny giggling. Draco looked very bizarre. His hair was messy. His school robes were crumpled and his striped green and silver scarf was lying on the floor.

Draco looked at his watch and nearly screamed. It was six thirty! He had promised pansy a snoggging session. She was going to be so pissed of. Quickly he straightened his robe and left the room, leaving Ginny standing in the room all alone.



(`~! ~`)

After nearly an hour of cursing herself in moaning myrtle toilet for her thoughtless and embarrassing act, Ginny remembered the special assembly. Giving her face a quick wash, she made her way to the Great hall.

Went she entered the hall, she noticed that nearly everyone except prof.dumbeldore. Ginny went and sat next to her two best friends, Colin and Amanda. After a number of cheery hellos around the table, the topic came to the reason of the special assembly.

"What do you think it can be? We never had a special assembly before." said Amanda with a small smile.

"Maybe they are firing snape" said Neville as everybody laughed.

Just then prof.dumbeldore entered and went to the top table. All the way along expectant eyes followed him up there. Seeing the suspense in the room, he decided to end it and start the assembly.

"Good morning everyone. Today there is going to be some changes in our school. From today there shall be special hobby classes for everyone" He looked around the great hall only to see the confusion among the students. They were all looking around at each other and asking the same question. What was prof. Dumbeldore talking about?

"Today 5 new teachers will be joining us. They are professor Stella, professor Alipes, professor Pierre and professor Defaeco and professor Facinus. They will be teaching you different activities. Professor Stella will be teaching you art." At this one of the 5 teachers, a young lady about 30 years stepped forward. She had short brown hair and a friendly smile. She waved to the crowd of students and smiled at some of them.

Professor dumbeldore continued, "Miss Alipes will be teaching you dance." a lovely young woman stepped out of the group. She had long and beautiful jet- black hair and piercing blue eyes, which even Ginny could make out from where she was sitting. She waved and for the first time they heard her voice as she said hello.

"Professor Manny will be teaching you sports." Professor Manny was a tall man in his late 30's. Short. He had a small splattering of blond hair across his baldhead. He had broad shoulders and lots of muscles, probably from the huge amount of exercise. He smiled and waved .

"Professor defacues will be teaching you music". Professor defaecus was a man of about 50 years. He was tall and thin and he acknowledged the students with a smile.

"And last, but not least Professor facinus will be teaching you trekking." Professor facinus was tall. He looked the meanest of all the teachers. He looked around the hall with a slight sneer on his long pointy face. He did not acknowledge Professor dumbeldore and remained in his seat.

After following a short period of an uncomfortable silence, Dumbeldore continued. "More information will be given to you in the afternoon. Please continue your breakfast." said Dumbeldore, sitting down and gesturing to the students.

Immediately a buzz followed his short speech. "What is this?" asked Colin.

"It sound like fun"

"Trekking sounds like fun"

"So does music. I used to take piano lessons when I was a kid. It was fun." that was Neville.

"Can we choose our activities"?

"If we can, then I am taking art." said Amanda with smile. She loved art and had painted a lot of paintings in a her spare time.

"Will we have to take all the activities"?

"I wouldn't have enough time to study." That was Hermione, of course thought Ginny with a roll of her eyes. ~$~ That afternoon: -

"Come on Ginny, we will be late for the afternoon assembly. I don't want to miss it. Hurry Gin!" said Amanda, a sense of urgency in a voice.

Ginny had not packed her bag yet. "Wait a second, Amanda. Oh hell, dump it. Come on lets go."

They reached the hall and sat down in their respective seats in the great hall. Once again like in the morning, there was a great amount of anticipation. In the center of the room, the five teachers were sitting and talking among themselves in low, murmuring voices. They was a stool behind them, which usually seated the sorting hat at the start of the term. However, today the students could not see what was on the stool.

A couple of minutes after Ginny and Amanda arrived, professor dumbeldore entered and demanded for silence, by his usual method of shooting purple fire cracker from the tip of his wand.

"We are going to organize you into small groups for each of the activities. Of course each student has to take at least on activity. However trekking is compulsory for each of you all. The student cannot pick the activity of his or her choice." At this there were many groans of disappointment. " The goblet of ice, goblet of fire and the goblet of water will sort you for each of these activities. Some of the more talented ones among you may be selected for more than one of the hobbies. You will be sorted on the hobby which the goblet thinks is best for you it has all been fixed in your schedule."

"You will be called on by one. You will come up and one or more of the goblets will toss a slip with your name on it. You will be taken for those activities.the goblet of fire represents the art class, goblet of ice - the dancing class, goblet of water the music and goblet of sand represents sports."
