Harry Potter and the new student
Chapter 1- The student has arrived
Harry, Ron and Hermione stepped out of the Threstal- Drawn carriages and started to make their way up to Hogwarts.
Harry had had a rough summer dealing with the death of his late godfather Sirius Black and although it still caused him immense pain whenever he thought or talked about Sirius, the pain was slowly dulling and Harry was continuing on with his life and taking it one day at a time.
Ron had also been feeling depressed over the summer half of it was because of Sirius, although had hadn't known him that long and not very well he still missed and mourned for him. The other half was something more private and something that he would never admitted to anyone else. He was missing Percy. It was a well-known fact that Percy loved the rules and was a neat freak, but Ron still loved him. Even if he didn't know him as well as he knew his other brothers. He still remembered when they were little, Percy had taught him how to read, write and play chess. Ron felt betrayed by Percy sure enough. But he wanted him back!.
Hermione has also mourned for Sirius, also he wasn't a direct friend but she had always felt a connection ever since she and the others had saved him from the dementors kiss. But instead of mourning Hermione had buried herself in her book and had learnt a great deal. Sirius had always said that she was the smartest witch of her age.
They went in through Hogwarts doors and directly into the great hall.
Hermione suddenly squealed.
"Ron, Harry look who it is" she cried in disbelief.
"What?" said Harry and Ron is unison.
"Look! There!" growled Hermione in frustration, spinning them around to face the staff table.
"What ARE you talking about Hermione?" asked Ron , who hadn't even bothered to glance up at the staff table.
"LOOK UP AT THE STAFF TABLE!" snarled Hermione "WHO is our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher?".
Harry, who by now had leaned to tune out Ron and Hermione's bickering, grinned widely and announced "Guys, it's Professor Lupin, HE'S our teacher Ron!".
"What really?" said Ron is disbelief, standing on his tiptoes to get a better look "Yeah it is!".
"Personally I'm glad" announced Hermione, "We'll actually get to learn from our teacher this year and with Professor Lupin as out teacher we're bound to learn loads!".
"Is learning ALL you ever think about Hermione" asked Harry with a teasing smile and a raised eyebrow.
"Well EXCUSE me for actually think that a school is for learning, not just having fun" retorted Hermione, with a half glare at him.
"Right" said Ron, "Lets just stop arguing and SIT DOWN and wait for the feast to start 'Cause I'm starving"
"Your always starving Ron" muttered Hermione under her breath.
Ron glared at her so she shut up.
About five or ten minutes later, Professor McGonagall came in with the first years, the hat sang its song and the sorting begun.

Professor Dumbledore stood up and cleared his throat and immediately hush fell across the great hall.
"We have an exchange student from Beauxbatons, he will be going into the sixth year"
"Would you please go and get him Professor McGonagall?"
Professor McGonagall nodded and walked over to the hall doors and ushered the person in.
He had sandy coloured hair and blue eyes. His skin was pale and he looked about five foot eleven. As he glanced around the hall his face was expressionless and unreadable, almost like Professor Snape's.
Him and Professor McGonagall walked up the sorting hat and Professor McGonagall called out his name.
"McGonagall, Lancelot"
There were several audible gasps and whispers at the name ' McGonagall' everybody was think the same thing is he related to Professor McGonagall?.
Professor McGonagall glared around the hall and immediately everybody shut up.
She placed the hat on his head and everybody watched with awe.
The hat must of come to a decision for it opened its brim and shouted out....
"GRYFFINDOR"
Without showing any emotion Lancelot took off the hat gave it back to Professor McGonagall and headed over to the Gryffindor table.
He sat down next to Harry.
"Hello" Hermione smiled "Congratulations for getting into Gryffindor"
Lancelot merely nodded at her and turned his attention back to the staff table.
Professor Dumbledore had started to speak again
"First of all I would like to introduce our Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher Professor Remus Lupin".
Professor Lupin stood and Harry, Ron and Hermione cheered for him with all their might, he blushed and sat down.
"Secondly there are a a number of items that are not allowed in the castle, for a full list please contact Mr Filch"
"Thirdly nobody is allowed on the forbidden forest unless they want to put themselves in mortal danger" Dumbledore said this part with a twinkle in his eye and a look towards Harry, Ron and Hermione.
"Now with all that said, Tuck in"
The golden plates instantly filled with food and everybody helped themselves.
Ron who was stuffing himself like a pig turned to Lancelot.
"Hey Lancelot is it" he asked.
Lancelot turned to him and nodded.
"Are you related to Professor McGonagall" he blurted out, curiosity getting the best of him.
Lancelot him a cold look and replied "She is my Great Aunt" then turned away rudely and ignored him.
Ron poked out his tongue behind his back and even Hermione had to stifle her giggles.
After everyone was fed and watered Ron and Hermione (Being prefects) led the first years (and Lancelot) up to Gryffindor tower with everyone else.
After saying the password "Lupus" everybody pilled into the common room and headed for bed.
Ron and Hermione directed the first years to their dormitories.
Harry meanwhile, sort out Lancelot.
He found him at the back of the throng of people.
Harry tried a smile and said in a friendly voice.
"Come on I'll lead you up to our dormitory since you're in my year"
Lancelot nodded and followed him.
After leading up the staircase Lancelot turned to Harry and still with no expression looked him in the eye and said "Thanks"
Harry was rather shocked but smiled and replied "Your welcome"
Lancelot gave him a nod of recognition and disappeared behind the curtains of the new bed that had been moved there.
Harry still pondering his new strange roommate, put on his own pyjamas and climbed into bed.
He was asleep a few seconds later.
