Chapter two: The Feast

When the carriages got to the castle, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny went to the great hall while Aletha and Orion went to meet the first years. When the first years came, they went up to the Great Hall, McGonagall gave her speech (A/N: the one she makes in the first movie. Back round information basically), and first years were sorted. Dumbledore stood up when the first years were sorted and Aletha and Orion were just left and feeling awquard and said, "I'm sure you've noticed the two students left, that need to be sorted. So Professor McGonagall, please continue." He sat down and McGonagall came forward again.

"Alexander, Orion."

Orion walked forward and sat on the stool. McGonagall put the hat on his head. After thirty seconds the hat yelled, "Gryffindor!"

"Lupin, Aletha."

There was a murmur though the Great Hall as people recognized the name.

'I hate it when they do that.'

Aletha walked to the stool and McGonagall placed the hat on her head.

"Another Lupin. Didn't think that would happen," the hat whispered in her ear.

'Well it did.'

"A sarcastic one, too."

'Ha ha very funny.'

"Well, you're not much like your father are you?"

'Nope.'

"Although you do have a secret.... you can't tell anyone.You're very smart and brave, too."

'So...'

"Well that rules out Slytherin and Hufflepuff."

'And...'

"Well you're not going to be in Ravenclaw, I can tell you that."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

A large ruckus of cheers and hollers erupted from the Gryffindor table as Aletha went to join her brother and friends. After a few announcements were made, (the forbidden forest is off limits followed by a whisper of, "Damn," from Aletha that only a few people herd) the feast started. The ghosts came and went. Nobody had noticed that Dumbledore had not mentioned the lack of a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. As a matter of fact I don't think anyone cared. If only one did notice, and believe me she did, would be Hermione. And being the kind of person she is had to tell the people that didn't really care.

"I wonder..."

"What do you wonder, Hermione, old chum," Aletha asked. Aletha could get drunk off of anything so she looked a little to happy.

"Well two things really. One, who's the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher? They told us to get books for the class, but what kind of teacher doesn't show up for the first day. And two, are you drunk, Aletha?"

"Well let me answer that. One, I don't really care right now. That kind of teacher is one I'll like. And two, maybe just a smidgeon," Aletha said putting a goofy smirk on her face and giggling.

"How'd you get drunk?"

"You see, Ron, I'm a very special person. I don't know how but I could get drunk off eating chicken," she said picking up a drumstick, "Which isn't a bad idea right now." Orion and Hermione just rolled their eyes while Aletha started to eat chicken and a lot of it.

When they were aloud to leave and go to their dorms, Aletha was having a hard time trying not to giggle. She would burst out in fits of giggles just walking by a painting.

"What's wrong with you?!"

"Well, Hermione, I call it being high on life, but I don't really know exactly what's wrong with me." she then burst out laughing. The laughing fit lasted ten seconds before she stopped.

"Man I get 'drunk', but what's the point if it doesn't last long."

"So you're done with the laughing?"

"I think so."

"Good it was getting quite annoying."

"Geez, Hermione, I don't know what your problem is but I bet it's hard to pronouce." Everyone but Hermione at least giggled at that; Hermione blushed a little.

"Oh come off it, Hermione. I was only jokin."

"Yea... sure."

"Hermione, I'm sorry. The feeling comes and goes in little fits until I'm over it."

"How long does that take?"

"I dunno. It varies."

Well it's not as long as it could have been but oh well. If anyone can find the "quote" in this chappie I'll......... dedicate the next chappie to you!! How's that sound? Well if you don't like it SHOVE OFF!!!! I'll get the next chapter up when I finish writing it. So until then. Peace out.
