"Where did you learn that?" Harry said looking at me
"Professor R.J. Lupin, my second year." I said placing my wand back in my pocket.
"You know Professor Lupin?!" They all said at once looking at me.
"Yes he was my Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." I said nodding.
"Lupin was in Ireland. He never said anything about it." Harry said.
"I'm not sure why. But Lupin is a very good man. I still hear from him every once and a while." I looked at them and smiled. "How do you know him?"
"He taught here 3rd year." Hermione said.
"So this is where he was going…" I said trailing off.
"Where you close to him?"
"Depends on your meaning of close, if you mean in a father daughter way then yes we where. Then if you mean in a relationship sort of way then no. He was like another father to me. Even when things started to become strange at Johnstown Castle he was always there to help me." I said looking out the window.
The train stopped and Hermione, Harry and Ron stood up.
"Where here." Hermione said cheerfully.
We stepped out of the train and it was quite noisy. The first years where extremely jumpy and kept looking around them. I think what happened on the train scared them.
"First Years!" I heard a man yellinghe look mean at first but if you looked at him again you would see he was kind. I followed them and they went over to him.
"Hello Harry, Hermione and Ron." He looked at me. "You must be Miss. O'Calloghan."
I smiled at him "Yes I am. It is nice to meet you."
"Cat this is Hagrid." Harry said. "He is the Care of Magic Creatures teacher."
"Miss O'Calloghan, Dumbledore said you can ride in the carriages with the rest of the 2nd years and up or you could ride on the boats with the first years."
"I'll ride on the boat since it is a tradition for new comers." I said smiling.
"First years and Miss O'Calloghan follow me!" Hagrid yelled over the voices of people who hadn't seen friends all summer.
I followed him on to a boat. I sat down next to a scared first year. I smiled at her and said "What's your name?"
"Elizabeth Grey."
"Well Elizabeth I'm Cat O'Calloghan it is nice to meet you."
"You are O'Calloghan chaser for Kenmare Kestrels! Can I have you sign this?" She pulled out a magazine and a pen.
"Sure." I signed it and gave it back to her.
The boat came to the other side of the lake and we got out.
"Alright everyone follow me." Hagrid said.
We walked in the Great Hall it was beautiful. We walked to the front of the room when Dumbledore stood up.
He cleared his throat and the hall went silent. "I know you all have heard of what happened on the train today. Thanks to Mr. Potter and one of our newest students Miss O'Calloghan no one was hurt. I will be taken care of this matter shortly. Everyone I know has heard that Miss O'Calloghan is joining us this year. I would also like to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Tess and her assistant Miss Jess Noe."
I looked at Jess a little shocked she didn't tell me that but I was clapping for her this is her dream. They both stood up and Jess smiled and then they sat back down.
"Miss O'Callaghan will be starting the sorting." Dumbledore said as I sat down on the stool. One of the Professors placed a hat on my head.
"Well Miss O'Callaghan," It said. "Bravery that is past many Gryffindors, but slyness and cunning of the Slytherin." It went quiet for a second then yelled "Gryffindor!" All the Gryffindors started clapping the rest where quiet. One of the Professors was taking it off my head when it yelled "and Slytherin!" The hall went quiet. I didn't move my heart skipped a beat.
"For the first time in a hundred years we have a student who was placed in two houses. Miss O'Callaghan will sit with the Gryffindors and see me at the end of the banquet. Mr. Weasly make sure she gets to my office. Now back to the sorting!"
I got up slowly and went to the table. Hermione and Ron moved over so I could sit down. I couldn't say a word I was stunned.
"Grey, Elizabeth!" The Professor yelled.
I looked up I wanted to see where she was going to be sorted.
"Gryffindor!"
I clapped as she walked down to sit with her friends at the table. She waved at me and I waved back. When they where finally done the food appeared in front of us.
"Well Cat it looks like you have made an impression." Hermione said.
I laughed a little. "I can tell."
"You managed to get sorted to the two biggest rival houses." Harry said.
"What do you guys do for Quidditch?" I asked.
"Well each house has its own team. Ron is Keeper for our team and Harry is the seeker. Fred and George where beaters but when they left instead of coming back they opened a joke shop." Harry said.
"The Weasly joke shop in London! I passed by that I was going to go in it after I left the Quidditch store. I wonder what house I can play in…" I said taking a bite of my dinner.
"Hey Kitty." I heard behind me in a familiar Irish accent.
I laughed a little and turned around. "Fin!" I stood up and hugged him.
"It has been a while Fin." I said.
"You know him?" Ron asked.
"Know him! He was like my brother. He is also the one who taught me in to Quidditch."
They all went silent.
"Are you telling us Seamus taught you to play Quidditch?"
"I played with her till she was invited to play with the Kenmare Kestrels." He said.
"I needed to keep my self from…" They Hermione and Seamus looked at me, "being bored." I said quickly. I almost didn't notice myself saying it. They seemed to be the only ones besides the Professors to know what happened.
"I hope you can be on our team." Seamus said as the food disappeared and we stood up.
"I hope also." I smiled and looked at Ron. "Lead the way."
The rest said good-bye and head off to there common room and Hermione was leading the first years to the common room. Ron and I started to walk to Dumbledore's office.
