The Noble Gaeans

Well, at least I got one review. Here some of your questions shall be answered, as we continue with the first actual istallment of The Noble Gaens. Just to give you a bit of info on what year this takes place in, it takes place in Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts.

Disclaimer: I own none of the characters appearing from The Vision of Escaflowne or from the Harry Potter series. I only own the Sorting Hat song.

Enjoy!

Chapter One: The Sorting Ceremony

As soon as the whole gang reached Hogwarts, Millerna, Dilandau, Allen, Van, and Hitomi had to leave with Hagrid and the first years across the lake. They needed to be sorted and go through the proper welcome for new students at Hogwarts. Hermione, Harry, and Ron went and found Neville Longbottom and Ginny Weasly to ride in a carriage pulled by seemingly nothing. They arrived at Hogwarts and made their way to the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall.

Once everyone was settled, Dumbledore welcomed the older students to another year at Hogwarts. Not more than a few minutes afterwards, Professor McGonagol lead the first years, Allen, Van, Hitomi, Dilandau, and Millerna through a door behind Dumbledore. There the whole assembly of witches and wizards stared at their age and size differences to the other students. McGonagol brought forth the sorting hat, setting it onto an old stool. After that the sorting hat began its song.

"The years have gone by

So quickly it seems

Since I was just a wee little hat

Sitting atop ol Gryffindor's head

When wise old Ravenclaw said

We need a new way

To choose the students

of our houses.

They made me the way I am today

And the way I will be tomorrow

And for an eternity

My destiny is to chose

The right house for the students

of Hogwarts school of

Witchcraft and Wizardry.

In times of War

Destiny is harsh.

We must stick together

And I shall stick to myself,

Contemplating what to sing

For you all next year!"

The entire room erupted with applause, as McGonagol stood up to speak. She said "I shall read your names, then the sorting hat will tell you where you belong for the next few years of your lives. Firstly, I must call forth our new transfer students from an academy far from here, please step forth as I call your names and years."

"Albatou, Dilandau, sixth year!"

The sorting hat had hardly to be placed onto his head when it belted out "SLYTHERIN!" There was an enormous round of applause and cheers from the Slytherin table. Dilandau strutted down to the table and shook hands with Draco Malfoy.

"Aston, Millerna, sixth year," said McGonagol after the noise died down a bit.

She slank over to the stool, fixed her robes, sat down and the hat was placed onto her head. It called out "Hufflepuff!" There was a great round of applause from the males and a few glares from the females. She sat herself down next to a random guy and watched the rest of her company being sorted.

"Fanel, Van, sixth year!"

Van trudged over to the stool and awaited the hat to be placed on his head. It took the hat only a minute, "GRYFFINDOR!" The Gryffindors all cheered very loudly for Van. He joined Ron, Harry, and Hermione at the table and received many pats on the back from many boisterous Gryffindors.

"Kanzaki, Hitomi, sixth year!"

Hitomi nervously walked up to the stool and waited to find out her destiny. It took the hat longer for her than the others. "You could do well in Hufflepuff, but you have much courage and have shown much bravery. You want to join the one you love, don't you?" Hitomi replied in her mind that she didn't want to have to leave Van, so the hat bellowed out "MAKE IT GRYFFINDOR!" At the Gryffindor table, Van sighed a breath of relief. He was glad to not have to part ways with Hitomi for anything. She ran over to sit by his side, as she glanced over at the Hufflepuff table to notice Millerna smirking at her.

"And now Shezar, Allen, seventh year," McGonagol said, relieved to be finished with the older students.

Allen walzed up to the stool, hardly had the hat set on his head when it called out "Gryff- No HUFFLEPUFF!" He received a similar round of applause that Millerna had received, but with a few swoons by the females of Hufflepuff. He sat next to her.

The noise died down, then McGonagol called out the first years. After the final first year was placed into Ravenclaw, Dumbledore arose to say a few words. "Yes, I know that you are all very anxious to eat this wonderous feast that our resident house elves have prepared, but first I must make a few annoncements."

There were a few groans from the hungry student body, but they were soon silent to listen to their headmaster speak. "I am pleased to introduce to you our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Folken Fanel. He has traveled here all the way from a very distant country along with our transfer students. The unfortunate reason for their attending school here is that their school was under attack by the dark Lord Voldemort, causing all of the remaining students and teachers to be placed in different wizarding schools around the world. We were very fortunate to have received Profesor Fanel, for he is a very prominant expert in his field."

"Also, I would like to say that if you are to leave for the holidays your parental guardians must notify the school via owl post. Also, no students are permitted to go beyond the school grounds and into the Forbidden Forest under ANY circumstances. And one last thing is that, Mr. Argus Filch has asked me to inform you that there will be no students allowed into the halls, parading around at night without proper supervision. Thank you all for listening, and let us eat!" Dumbledore finished, bowing to the students. There were many cheers to the end of his long speech, and then all of the empty plates filled with a varying assortment of wonderfully delicious foods.

At the Gryffindor table, Van and Hitomi were getting to know the different Gryffindors sitting next to them. Because Van was to Hitomi's right and Hermione and Ron were across from them, Harry sat to Van's right. They dug into the food sitting in front of them as they gabbed about their summers and about whether or not Van was related to the new DADA teacher. When Ron asked Van if he really was,

Van just glared at him. "Unfortunately he is my brother and legal guardian until we return to Fa- home," he snarled, catching himself from saying that he was from a country named Fanelia on a planet known as Gaea to its people.

"Bloody hell!" He exclaimed, getting the attention of his fellow gryffindors. His ears turned red with embarassment, so he decided to return to eating his kidney pie.

Hermione, noticing the awkward silence that followed decided to change the focus from Van to Hitomi. "So, Hitomi, what is your favorite subject that you have studied in school so far?"

"Oh, I don't have a favorite subject now. It used to be divination, but now I'm not so sure. On the supplies list I got with my acceptance letter, it said to get a deck of tarot cards. Luckilly I already had one though. We must be learning that this year."

"Load of rubbish," said Harry. he had been fairly silent because his mind kept jumping around wondering why Voldemort had attacked the school that his new-found aquantances had came from. He also wondered what their connection to him was. He couldn't wait until he could get to talk to Ron and Van alone in the boys dormitory. He knew that Hermione would probably end up talking to Hitomi about it all as well, then they could exchange information later on.

"Believe what you want," said Van. "You wouldn't believe it, but Hitomi's predictions have always been dead accurate."

"Maybe I should have you read my fortune," said Ginny Weasly to Hitomi. "If you wouldn't mind to, that is." Hitomi smiled and said that she would. Ginny's face reddened because she wanted to have a reading done about the future of her love life with a specific young wizard who had been sitting next to her the entire time so far that day in the Great Hall(Harry).

Millerna and Allen were fairing well over at the Hufflepuff table. There were many admirers of the two already. People wondered if either of them would be any good at Quidditch, a wizarding sport played on broomstcks, or if either of them would fill the spots left previously by the graduated wizards of last year.

Many of the girls had fantasies of Allen flying nobley on a broomstick, gracefully batting a bludger away from their new seeker. Those same girls already begain to hate Millerna because they were under the impression that the two were either together or that she was toying with him. Both the knight and princess engaged in idle chit-chat with their fellow Hufflepuffs. They fit in the best out of the transfers.

Dilandau at the Slytherin table was discussing with Draco Malfoy his hatred of the other transfer students and that they were enemies of the dark lord. Malfoy knew immediately that they would be allies. His father was one of Voldemort's followers and he hated Harry Potter and his friends the blood traitor and the mudblood. Because of Harry Potter being friends with the other transfer student, Dilandau also realized that there was a destined alliance between him and Draco. They shook hands and commenced eating.

Van and Harry couldn't help but take notice of the exchange of trust between the slytherins. They also realizd their own destined alliance and shook hands. The tidings of the destiny of war were already being sung, and it was time for Dumbledore to wish all of the students and staff a good sleep. He wished them all pleasant dreams and then the prefects lead their houses to retire to their separate dormitories.
