The rest of the evening went by with the traditional sorting into houses with the sorting hat. Every couple minutes a House was called out. Afterwards, Professor Dumbledore spoke his 5 second speech, following the golden plates currently empty filling up with food. After what seemed like 20 minutes Professor Dumbledore stood up yet again.
"Now before you all take off with your full stomachs to your common rooms, I have some last minutes announcements. I'd like to welcome back our students, and to the teachers. And Welcome newcomers. This year we have Proffessor Grubbly-Plank, taking over for Our Proffessor Hagrid while he is out. Also, I'd like to introduce our new Defense against the Dark arts teacher, Proffessor Umbridge." A small clap sounded the hall while Dumbledore paused. "Also, to the first years, the forbidden forest is out of bounds, as so is the corridor on the 7th floor on the right hand side. Mr. Filch has added some more Banned items including; exploding cherries, wing wheezers, and mouth changing toffees. Although I find them very amusing, I had the misfourtune of coming across a Duck Bill Bite once…" He said only laughing to himself. Proffessor McGonigall gave him a look of disapproval. "Alright then, that is all for now, you are dismissed." He waved his hands as the doors to the great hall opened.
As the great hall emptied, Jenna noticed Harry walking by himself. She decided that she should apologize for being so rude.
"HARRY, HEY HARRY!" Jenna called; he turns around, hoping to be Cho Chang, but then frowns to realize its just Jenna. "What do you want, Jenna?" She pauses, not realizing he knew her name.
"Wait, how do you know my name?" She asked.
Harry replied, "I heard Malfoy call you that, what do you want?" as he matted down his hair.
"I..I was just saying sorry for earlier. I didn't mean to be a jerk; I realized that you get enough of that from Draco." She finished.
Harry smiled, "and?"
"And what? I was just apologizing." Jenna said annoyingly.
He laughed heartily. "You were just apologizing?" She glanced at him nervously.
"yea, is that such a big deal?" she said again, annoyingly.
He looked away trying to hide a smile. "Mm, no." he couldn't help but laugh. Jenna playfully pushed him, but then quickly got searious.
"Lets start over, Hi, my name is Jenna Rosier," Jenna said in a hyper tone.
Harry laughed and took her hand. She felt a bolt of sensation though her body. Something she never felt before. Harry felt the same thing, but chose to ignore it.
"Hi, my name is Harry Potter, how do you do?" He said in an undertone voice.
Both of them laughed as they walked through the 2nd corridor.
"Well, Harry, this is where I got to go, hope to see you later, maybe we can, share a butterbeer in Hogsmeade sometime." She said. He held her hand up and lightly kissed it, just as Draco did to her. And bid her goodnight. She walked back to the common room by herself. Right before entering, Crabbe and Goyle burst though the door.
