This is the next chapter. I'm having much fun writing this. Don't forget to review after you're done.

Chapter 2:

"Welcome to all," Dumbledore started before the feast. "I am pleased to welcome you all to another year here at Hogwarts."

"I hope this is going to be short," whispered Ron. "I'm hungry."

"You're always hungry," whispered back Hermione.

"She's got a point there," said Harry laughing. "When do you think the new students are going to be sorted? I hope they're in Gryffindor."

"Mr. Filch wants me to once again remind you all that the Forbidden Forest is still off limits," continued Dumbledore. " A new list of objects that will be confiscated is posted outside his office and a copy will be in each common room. There is also no wandering in the halls after curfew except for Prefects and Heads. No magic between classes. The new Head Boy is Mr. Harry Potter and the new Head Girl is Ms. Hermione Granger. This year we have several new students who will be directly going to seventh year because they are skilled in Easter Magic. They are all elementals and can perform magic without wands. There is also a transfer student from Beauxbatons. Would the new students please come forward."

Immediately eight students walked towards the front.

"The sorting will begin now."

"Akina!"

"Hufflepuff!"

"Daisuke!"

"Ravenclaw!"

"Kenta!"

"Hufflepuff!"

"Kitoshi!"

"Gryffindor!"

"Mika!"

"Slytherin!"

"Reiko!"

"Gryffindor!"

"Ryden!"

"Slytherin!"

"Sakayo!"

"Ravenclaw!"

After all the sorting of the new students the first years sorted. There were five new Slytherins, six Hufflepuffs, seven Ravenclaw, and six Gryffindors. When the sorting was finished, the feast began. Everyone stuffed their faces with food until they were all full.

During the meal Hermione hatched a plan. She felt sorry that her new friends were all separated from each other. So she decided to try her luck when the feast was finished.

"Professor Dumbledore," she said politely going up the professors table, " May I make a rooming request?"

"It depends on what the request is Ms. Granger. We'll see what we can do. What is it that you request?"

"If I may professor I would like to have the new students and Ron room with me. They seem to be very good friends yet they got split up. Also I think that an incident on at the train platform today would affect the Slytherin students' feelings toward their new housemates. The Heads' common room and bedrooms are big enough to fit the eight other people. Please Professor Dumbledore, please consider my request."

"Well, Ms. Granger. I can see no harm in your request as long as the boys stay with Harry and the girls with you," he replied.

"Sir, could Ryden come too? He is also a friend of ours whom we haven't seen in a long time," said Daisuke. The group heard Hermione's request and were very intrigued. Dumbledore thought about the request for a long time.

"I don't see the harm. As long as boys room with boys and girls with girls," was his reply. "Off you go now."

"I can't believe he actually let you do this Hermione!" exclaimed Ron. "That was bloody brilliant!"

"Thank you, Ron."

"Thanks Hermione," said Sakayo.

"Yeah, you don't know how much this means to us," added Akina looking at Kenta.

"I like this arrangement but I'm in the same sleeping complex as Reiko!" Daisuke told no one in particular.

"Mika too," complained Ryden.

"Shut it or you'll experience what Malfoy did," threatened Reiko.

"Chill Rei. No need getting all worked up about it," said Kyo herding the whole group towards their sleeping chambers.

The night passed without any problems. Everyone slept peacefully anticipating the next day when their classes would begin. Everyone hoped to have a new start this year.

That's it for now. Next chapter will come soon, I hope. Don't forget to review.
