Disclaimer: *Cries heartbreakingly* (does that word exist?) Why don't the
Harry Potter characters belong to me???? *sudden change of mood, now laughs
maniacally* But I still own the hat's song in this chapter and you'll have
to stand it even if you don't like it !!!!
A/N.:This chapter is dedicated to some of my "schoolmates" at the german internet "Hogwarts School", or actually, to those I have contact with (the ones doing their homework (I'm DADA teacher there)), in other words: to our headmaster Hermione, to Gia-Charlotte Faila (Ravenclaw (she's my "twin" (not in reality, only in this school) it's Kira), to Lucius Malfoy (Sandra) and Lord Veldomert (Slytherin) and to Stocky, little Hermine (german for Hermione) and Marry Malfoy (..Gryffindor!!!!). Thank you for the wonderful time you are giving me at our favourite school..and for your eccellent homework.
Chapter Three: Back where they belong
As soon as the train arrived at the station, the prefects and the Head Girl took care of the first years leading them to Hagrid. Draco did most certainly not let himself down to such an un-Malfoy like act, no action that could be rated as friendly came into his mind (at least not yet.^_^ ). When they had delivered the frightened and excited children to the friendly half giant they got on the last carriage towards Hogwarts.
When Hermione and the other prefects crossed the entrance gates of the castle, the girl heard her favourite teacher (McGonagall, who else?) calling out for her. So she told the others to go ahead and save her a seat and approached her Head of House, "Hallo professor, did you have nice vacations?"
"Hallo Ms. Granger, congratulations to your position as Head Girl. Yes, indeed I had very relaxing holidays, thank you. But as I know that you want to join the feast as soon as possible and regarding the fact that I have to go and meet the first years before Peeves arrives and scares their lifes out of them I will make it short. Please come to my office after dinner in order to talk about the responsabilities that are coming upon you. I already talked to Mr. Malfoy about this meeting, so you won't have to do so."
Hermione smiled at the Professor, at least she was getting a few more instances of Malfoy-empty peace before having to deal with him for the rest of the year. "Thanks Professor, I will be there. I'll see you later then!"
Professor McGonagall nodded friendly at her favourite student (even though she would never admit that openly) and walked away to meet the little ones
(A.N.: Every 11 year old child will kill me now, I'm sure!! Sorry, I didn't mean it as an offence, it's just that for an over 70 year old woman quite everyone is little, even me and I'm 18.) After her conversation entered the Great Hall and pre-sorting-ceremony commotion of every year. Her eyes ran along the Gryffindor table until they found her friends who were indeed saving her a seat. They hadn't even been talking for 5 minutes when they heard the new students arriving and the whole room went quiet and hundreds of eye-pairs were locked expectantly on the heavy doors. Soon the first years entered, the silence and "dignity" of their soon to be comrades intimidating them even more (A.N.: How could they know, that only a few seconds before those "dignified students" had acted as if they were attending a Qudditsch match?). Trembling visibly the young students (A.N.: Is this word better?) stood in a row, waiting to be called up and placed into a house. Everybodies eyes lay now on the well known and held dear Sorting Hat, also known as Hogwarts pop-star number one (for lack of competition).
When really everyone was quiet and ready to listen, their beloved Headmaster (well, beloved by most of the students, you already know the exceptions) encouraged it to start his song of every year or rather, his new song as it was never the same. The Sorting Hat began to sing:
"Welcome my children young and old,
To a new year of laughter and studies,
Discover the secrets that Hogwarts holds
And in which house you'll find your buddies.
Gryffindor house holds people brave,
Comradeship is of great importance,
Also is fun till the end of the day,
Sometimes studying comes on shorter.
Hufflepuffs are friendly and kind,
Open to everybody at any time,
No thought of evilness crosses their mind,
With them you get along just fine.
Ravenclaw is for the smart of you,
Who like intellectual conversation,
They learn with ease and like it, too,
But have little time for celebrations.
Slytherin finally is for the cunning,
For the ones who power seek,
Without caring 'bout how it is coming,
Even if this means using the weak.
So come forward without any doubt,
Put the Sorting Hat on your head,
Show no fear and you'll find out,
In which house you'll find your bed."
(A.N.: Sorry, I know the last line of the Slytherin verse was a bit too explicit, but unlike the Sorting Hat I have no practice in this and not a year time!)
When he finished his song everybody, except for the Slytherins (A.N.: I'm repeating myself on this point, am I not?), was clapping enthusiastically and the new kids were staring with awe at the hat which would sort them into their respective houses.
When everybody was quiet again, Professor McGonagall started to call up the students from her list beginning with Anderson, Angelica (a Ravenclaw) and ending with Wilmore Clarence (a Slytherin). The Gryffindors themselves had got 11 new comrades, 6 girls and 5 boys which seemed all to be very nice. When the youngsters were sitting at the tables, Dubledore stood up in order to hold his every year's speech.
"Excuse me everybody, before we start our delicious meal, I would like to make some announcements. To begin with, the Forbidden Forrest is forbidden for everybody. Furthermore, there will be again a Yule Ball this year which can be attended by every student from fourth year upwards. This year we'll have, as always, a new DADA teacher, she will be arriving tomorrow morning before classes begin. And last but not least I would like to congratulate our new Head Girl and Boy, Ms Hermione Granger from Gryffindor (frenetic clapping from Gryffindor; Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw) and Mr Draco Malfoy from Slytherin (excited clapping from Slytherin and out-of -respect clapping from the others). And now that I'm done with my announcements there is only one thing left to say..Let's grab some food!!".
With those words he sat down and bowls filled with different kinds of delicious food started to magically appear on the tables.
Soon the students were eating peacefully under the enchanted ceiling and the light of the floating candles. The Gryffindor seventh and sixth year students were talking about their new DADA teacher.
"So it is a woman again", Seamus said.
"Well, it was a woman who gave us one of the best years up to now." Hermione reasoned in a do-you-want-to-say-women-can't-do-this tone.
"Yes, it is a pity Miss Tonks had to leave," Harry agreed, "She was a really good teacher".
"Well," Ron said, "She left just because she is so good, she was needed to fight against Voldemort along with the rest of those "special agent wizards"" (A.N.: Sounds like a group of James Bonds ^_^. But he means of course the OotP). "I wonder if our new teacher will be as good as her..although, she is a woman, she has to be good," Ginny said with a defiant look directed at Seamus.
"Hey!" the boy exclaimed, "Stop that. I didn't mean that in a chauvinistic way. I do agree completely that Miss Tonks was one of our best teachers, along with professor Lupin."
Hermione and Ginny seemed to be satisfied and nodded approvingly. They went on chatting and eating like that for about an hour until the last dish was empty and everyone was grinning satisfied, then everything magically disappeared and the prefects gathered the younger students together in order to lead them to their common rooms.
A/N: Soooo, this was the third chapter, did you enjoy it? (Not counting the stupid song of course). Well, now the question is.. What will happen in McGonagall's office and..who is the new DADA teacher??? You'll get to know soon enough f you go on reading and reviewing (no reviews, no chapters, I need to know you like it).
Now lets move on to the answers to your reviews. I found a way to get to the missing reviews I wrote about last time (through my stats bar) and so I'm gonna answer them here also.
Dracosgurl_chrissy: I'm glad you like the fic. As you can see, the problem with the spacing is solved. Talking about Tale as old as Time, I hope the author (I can't remember her name right now) writes a sequel, I loved that story. By the way, did you read betrayed? If you liked TaoaT you will like that one, too!
Kkjade: I hope the spacing is better now! As to the verbal comebacks, I love stories which contain nice verbal fights, I'm a pretty sarcastic person myself, you just ask my friends.. * grins evilly * they experienced it many times...
Lucius Sikilmituile: Ein Verbrechen, eine Schande! Deine review war unter denen die ich nicht erhalten habe. Übrigens merkt man nicht, dass die review von einer Freundin kommt, üüüberhaupt nicht! Es freut mich, dass du dieses Fic so gut findest.
Befuzzled: Great that you find this story good, like you wanted I'm updating soon (as soon as I could). I hope you liked the chapter. Althuogh the song wasn't really good..
T baby: It's wonderful that you reviewed the two chapters I have written in one time. That was really cool of you, you don't know how happy you made me, I didn't know my story was worth such an effort. I hope you keep the reviews coming, I'm looking forward to read one of yours again! About English, I really don't know if it's a second or third language, that depends on if I see Spanish and German both as first languages (which I suppose I do) or if I see German as first and Spanish as second. Either way, thanks for you compliment on my use of English.
Crazy-lil-nae-nae: Hey, I like your name! Has it any special meaning? Well, to your review, I'm glad you like my fic (who would't be) and that you think I'm describing the well. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Reb: don't worry, I'll keep on writing. Your fic left me completely embarrassed (in a good way) I would have never thought of my fic as brilliant. This chapter wasn't really good and (unluckyly) had no verbal fight in it. I promise the next chapter will have one though. I'm looking forward to your next review also.
Sunny summer greetings from Barcelona!
