Description
What Happened Before:
Every first year student, including Harry, looked at me with pity, thinking that I had done something wrong or it was because of how I am dressed. I sigh as the doors to the great hall open as if by there own free will. May God help me be brave in what I am about to do...
Chapter 7: Professor Gabriel Vincent Shepherd
We enter the Great Hall with myself in front of the rest. I ignore everything that is going on in the room as I prepare myself for what I am about to do. It hasn't been done in over a thousand years. What only a few people knew was that in fact there is a fifth house that has disappeared waiting for the next heir to come along. The fact is, is that I am that heir and I have come to restore Hogwarts to all its glory.
As we stood in front of the whole school many were pointing and whispering when they saw Harry and I. I smile at them before I turn to Professor McGonagall. I hear Hermione mention that the ceilings are enchanted to look like the sky outside and that she read it in Hogwarts, A History. Then Professor McGonagall brought out a stool with a really old hat on it. Everyone waited silently as the hat opened a rip near its brim before it started to sing.
"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowler's black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindor apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuff's are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
There is one more,
That you should know,
Silverstone shall rule them all.
For it alone can hold,
All four houses personal.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"
Everyone sat in silence before the teachers started to clap and soon everyone else joined. 'So he knows I'm here does he. It doesn't matter. I don't even think Dumbledore knows about this house.' As I stood there in thought Professor McGonagall took out a list.
"Snow, Myeisha!" The Professor cuts through my thoughts.
Gasps rung through the air as I step forward. Many got out of there seats to get a good look at me. I smile and give a little wave to them before I sit down and the Professor puts the hat on my head. The Hat sinks so low that it covers my ears.
'Ahhh... Welcome Ms. Snow. I have been expecting you for some time now. Its time that you restore this school to how it is supposed to be.' the Hat said in my head.
'It a pleasure to finally come here. Are my concerns about Professor Dumbledore true?' I ask him.
'I am afraid it is true. The old man is turning evil. Now I think I will place you in...' "SILVERSTONE!" The whole school sat in silence as a fifth table appeared and the Great Hall grew bigger. I look at Dumbledore's face and saw that he was in shock. He quickly hid it and started to mutter to himself.
I walk to the new table and sit down as everyone continued to stare at me. Even all the teachers were stunned and it took a long time for Professor McGonagall to snap out of it and continue to call names.
" Abbott, Hannah!" "HUFFLEPUFF!" Claps from the Hufflepuff table
"Bones, Susan!" "SILVERSTONE!" Silence
"Boot, Terry!" "SILVERSTONE!" Claps coming from the Silverstone table
"Brocklehurst, Mandy!" "RAVENCLAW!" Claps from the Ravenclaw table
"Bulstrode, Millicent!" "SLYTHERIN!" Claps from the Slytherin table
"Finch-Fletchley, Justin!" "HUFFLEPUFF!" (A/N you know the drill.)
"Granger, Hermione!" "SILVERSTONE!"
"Longbottom, Neville!" "SILVERSTONE!"
"Thomas, Dean!" "GRYFFINDOR!"
"Malfoy, Draco!" "SILVERSTONE!"
"Lovegood, Luna!" "SILVERSTONE!"
"Potter, Harry!" "SILVERSTONE!"
"Turpin, Lisa!" "RAVENCLAW!"
"Weasley, Ronald!" "GRYFFINDOR!"
"Zabini, Blaise!" "SLYTHERIN!"
(A/N If I forgot some then I am sorry. The point is that I wanted to show the Silverstone house being formed.!)
After that was done there was complete silence as Dumbledore stood up to address the students. He still don't look to happy about Silverstone but he continued on like nothing happened.
"Welcome to another year of Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you!" was all the dear old man said before the food appeared.
"You knew this was going to happen didn't you Myeisha?" Harry asks as he digs in.
"I knew about the fifth house yes. I may even say that I knew who was going to be in it. But I didn't expect the Sorting Hat to announce it to everyone until I had the hat on my head. He ruined all my good fun..." I smile innocently.
Draco sat there looking really pale. Paler then usual. His father is going to kill him because he's not in Slytherin.
"Draco... You never know your father may be proud that his son is in Silverstone. He may see it as a greater service to his lord." I say as I try and comfort him. (He told me on the train about his father when no one was listening. And there is always the fact that I know all about his father because of the Harry Potter books I have read in the other world.)
After we finish eating, Draco perked up a bit at that time, we had desert before Dumbledore explained the rules before everyone was sent off to bed except our house. We stayed behind as all the other houses left.
(A/N I don't feel like putting the speech in this story. Its not really important.)
"A house elf came and told me that your tower has been cleaned and repaired for your use. You will follow Flower so she can show you where it is. Tomorrow you will be introduced to your head of house. You each get your own rooms because you will likely be the only ones to enter the house. Goodnight and Ms. Snow please follow me to my office." Dumbledore said as the others got ready to leave.
"Yes Professor Dumbledore." I say with a large smile on my face as I wave to my new friends.
After walking for some time we approached a gryphon statue. Before Dumbledore could do or say anything it leapt aside and the stairs began to spiral up. Dumbledore grumbled as we stepped onto them and soon we were seated in his office. He was behind his desk staring at me for five minutes before he opened his mouth to speak.
(A/N I can't for the life of me remember if the statue is of a gryphon or a phoenix!)
"Where have you been these last ten years?" He asks calmly.
"I'm sorry Professor but it is none of your business. All you have to worry about is your school. Not your favorite students." I say with some venom in my voice as he tries to enter my mind.
"Please I only want to help you Ms. Snow." He says as he applies more pressure on my mind.
"I don't have to tell you anything." I say as I force him out of my head completely.
"Tell me where you have been! Now or you will have detention for the whole year until you tell me!" He threatens as he realizes he cannot enter my head.
"I am telling you Professor! Its none of your business of where I was for ten years. If you were my guardian then I might have told you." I say angrily as he decides to drop it for now.
"Then who will protect you? You have no guardian and no place to stay." He says tiredly.
"Oh but I do have both remember? You brought me to the Dursley's." I say with a smirk.
"And anyway's I don't need protecting. I am very capable of defending myself." I say as an afterthought.
"Fine. You may go to your tower. Flower please bring Ms. Snow to her room." Dumbledore says as Flower pops in.
"It was a pleasure Professor Dumbledore!" I say on my way out.
"Goodnight." Was his only reply.
"You shouldn't anger Master like that Miss. He is not very nice when he is mad!" Flower said as we walked down the hall.
I didn't answer her because I was deep in thought. I memorized the school as we walked to the tower. I don't want to get lost tomorrow when classes start. Soon we were near the Astronomy tower. Flower walked up to a painting of a young woman with the label Alexandra Silverstone under the portrait. I smile at her as she opens.
"Miss should know that you do not need a password. The portrait can see your aura and knows who can enter and who cannot. No potion can copy your aura. Goodnight Miss." Flower said just before she disappeared.
I walk through an archway that is hidden behind an illusion of a wall. The portrait covers it but you never know what some people will try to do to get into the common room. If a person doesn't belong in that tower tries to come in and some how removes the portrait then the illusion becomes a real wall that no one can get through. No matter what spell they try to use on it.
The common room has a large banner that has a black phoenix with silver eyes on it. The background has the other crests for the school. There is a fireplace with armchairs all around it. The armchairs are black leather with silver arms and legs. I think there is an armchair for everyone so there is nine armchairs. There are tables in the back for a study area and a wide open space to just hang out. The room is very bright because of all the torches that are lite still.
That's when I notice everyone is still up. They are all in the armchairs waiting for me to come in. I smile at them as I walk over.
"Hi guys! No I didn't get in trouble. He just wanted to know where I have been for the past ten years." I say as I sit down in the only chair that is left.
"We were a little worried." Harry says as he moves to another chair so that I can sit in the head chair. (That's weird. It seems as though they have decided to make there leader. Maybe its because I am the heir...)
"Isn't this place awesome? We already checked out our rooms. There is no restriction between boys and girls and we all have a name plate on our doors so we know which room is ours! Harry's and Draco's rooms are next to you. I think Harry is on the left and Draco is on the right! Come on we'll show ya!" Says a girl whose name is Hermione Granger.
I never thought she would be so hyper. Anyway's I followed them up and sure enough our rooms were next to each other. I smile happily as I enter my own room. Each room is personalized to fit us.
My room has a dark purple four poster bed in the corner. The walls are black with different silver designs painted on the wall. Right above my bed is the outline of a Phoenix. On another wall is a Mermaid and on the wall opposite is a Pegasus and on the remaining wall is a Gryphon. All in great detail and all the lines are silver. All are life sized and they don't move though they are magical.
(A/N So basically when you enter her room the first animal you see is the Phoenix which is on the wall across from the door. Where the door wall is the picture of a Gryphon is. Its right beside the door. When you enter the room on the left is the Mermaid and on the right is the Pegasus.)
The Phoenix has its wings open and it looks like it was singing. Its eyes are the only thing that isn't silver. The eyes are made of ruby's. The Phoenix also looks like it is sitting on top of the bed and it looks almost sad.
The Mermaid reminds me of the movie The Little Mermaid. Instead of having different colored eyes the hair is the only thing that isn't silver. Instead the hair is like a sapphire blue and is wavy. The Mermaid's face is smiling and is at peace with the world. Her arms are crossed over her chest so that her hands are on her shoulders and her arms are covering her breasts even though they have shells covering them already. Her tail is right under her so she looks like she is sitting on it.
The Pegasus has its wings open as well. The body of a horse with the wings of a bird this creature looks angry. It is on its back legs, rearing, with its front legs in the air as though it is going to kick you if you get too close. Its wings are diamonds instead of silver while the rest of the body is silver.
The Gryphon is lying down with its eyes half open. The head is resting on its paws making it look like its about to fall asleep or it is just waking up. Its head is that of a bird of prey. The head is the color emerald while the rest of it is silver. It has the wings of a bird but the rest of its body is a lion including a tail. There is no visible emotion.
Anything made out of metal is silver. I have my own personal bathroom like everyone else. Which is a lot like the perfects bathroom only a little smaller. I also have a lot of space to be able to train. I also have a large mirror over by a large window with a window seat. I walk over to the window to see the Dark Forest in all its glory.
I climb into bed as after everyone left. They were looking at the walls in amazement. I look up at the ceiling and notice that it is enchanted to look like the sky outside. Kind of like the Great Hall. One thing I won't have to worry about is the sun rising because I usually wake up before it. I then usually go through my training and warm ups before I get ready for school. I also plan to do homework during this time when I do get homework. I have also gotten Harry to wake up at that time too so that he can do his training.
I sigh as I close my eyes to sleep. I must admit I'm a little worried about tomorrow. Who is going to be our Head of House?
(A/N I should end the chapter right now but I am too kind. So here is your prize guys for reviewing! You get... A COOKIE and... (drum roll please...) You get the rest of the chapter! Yeah!)
The next morning I got up and started stretching right away. Five minutes into my stretching I hear a knock on my door. I walk over to open it and find a very sleepy Harry Potter. I pull him into the room without making a sound before I go back to my stretching. Harry joins me a minute later.
After we stretch every muscle in our bodies we begin to lift weights and punch a punching bag I had bought from a muggle store a while back. After about an hour of doing that and still having energy to spare we head outside where we jog around the Quidditch Pitch. After a half hour of that we summon our swords and have a dual. It was a close match but I won in the end.
We went back to our rooms to get ready for the day. No one was up yet but a few were starting to stir. With a half hour before the rest of the school would wake up I stretch out tired muscles and then take a much needed shower.
I then walk back into the common room just as my house mates began to wake up from a full nights sleep. Harry is already down and sitting by the fire waiting for me. I walk up to him and notice his hands are shaking. I take them into my own and began to relax the muscles gently. After that I move to his neck and then I press down on his back. Finally all the knots were gone.
"Did you have those all morning?" I ask him quietly as I continue to work his back.
"Yes but I didn't want to tell you." He tells me in a sleepy voice.
"Didn't you sleep last night? You should have had a good five hours." I ask gently as I move to sit across from him.
"I kept waking up and without you in the room I couldn't go back to sleep. Then when I did go back to sleep I had nightmares and then the whole cycle would start again." He confides.
"I'm sorry. You should have come over to my room. You know I don't require much sleep. Even one hour is good enough for me even though that next night I would have to sleep eight hours." I say as I look him in the eyes.
"Can you at least help me get to sleep tonight?" He pleads.
"I'll see what I can do alright?" I then get up and offering my hand as the others start to come down stairs with sleepy looks.
Harry and I have been up for a good three hours so may be fatigued but we don't have sleep clogged brains. Our whole house walks down to the Great Hall together at seven o'clock exactly. (A/N I don't think it was ever mentioned when breakfast started so I invented a time! If anyone remembers or finds the right time it would be great! I guess I could go looking for it but I really don't want too...) As we enter we notice there is an extra plate at our table. Just then a young looking man came walking up to us with a smile that would have made any girl go weak at the knees. The girls behind me (I was in front you see. I think I'm the leader of our house. Just because everyone seems to listen and do what I way without question.) were all swooning.
"Hi my name is Professor Gabriel Vincent Shepherd. I am your Head of House." The man says politely.
"Yo what's up Professor Shepherd!" I say with a totally American accent.
"Nothing much. I see you were either born or moved to America at some point in your life. How did you know?" He looks real interested in me.
"Born in England and moved to America when I was like one. Grew up like a muggle in New York so I have the New York accent down and the English accent too because my parents are total Brits." I say as I walk toward our table with the Professor beside me.
"And to how I know? Quite easy chap! You keep mixing the American and English accents." I finish with a smile.
"Your good. We should have a discussion sometime just the two of us. We can compare them! Huh?" He says with that smile on his face again.
"By the way. My name is Myeisha Snow." I say with a large smile on my own face.
"Ahh the ever famous Ms. Snow. You must be Harry Potter right?" The Professor turns away from me to shake Harry's hand.
"My name is Hermione Granger!"
"I'm Neville Longbottom."
"Draco Malfoy is the name."
"Hi I'm Susan Bones. It's a pleasure to meet you Professor!"
"Hello the names Terry Boot."
"And I'm Luna Lovegood. Did you know that Wizzlebees..."
"It's a pleasure to meet all of you." He said before everyone continued to eat.
" I can't wait to get to know you!" He said excitedly a few minutes later as though our conversation had never ended.
"Now Professor Dumbledore will be introducing me at lunch. I won't be having classes until next week. I will be teaching Physical Defense right here in the Great Hall. Only those who want too can take the classes and its for all the years. Since I'm starting it this year the upper class men probably wont be taking the class. I am hoping to see all of you there. Also if you ever need to find me my office is right off the Great Hall over there." He said after a short silence at our table as everyone enjoyed breakfast.
"I will be eating with you at the student tables and my quarters is right off your common room." He pointed to a door that hadn't been there last night just as breakfast was coming to an end.
The office was right next to the head table and as we all looked at the door we also got a good look at the teachers. They looked disgusted that a teacher would want to sit with his students and not up with them. It was almost time for classes when Professor Dumbledore came up to us.
"Ms. Snow I would like a word with you again." H said as he turned away and began to walk toward Professor Shepherd's office.
I look at my friends who looked up from there timetables to see what was going on. I waved goodbye before I followed the Professor. I don't know what he wants now but I do know its nothing good. I walk into the bare office as Professor Dumbledore shuts the door hard. I look at him and saw his mask was coming down and that the real Dumbledore was showing its ugly head. I back away from him as he walks toward me and grabs my head. I scream but I know no one can hear me because he put up some spells before I entered.
"Tell me where you have been these last ten years!" He screams into my face.
"I told you to leave it alone!" I scream again as he forces his way into my mind.
What he finds is nothing. I have been working on ways to protect my mind from this lunatic for some time. Now he can't erase my memories or enter them. He can actually go into my head and find nothing. Not one memory. The only bad thing is that when he leaves he will have destroyed all my defense and may have even done some real damage. So when he realized he still couldn't get my memories he left my head.
He then released me and I fell to the floor holding my head. It feels like he ripped open my brain and sucked everything out and ripped it apart before putting it all back in again. I was in so much pain I didn't realize that he had his wand pointed at me. I look up to see pure evil radiating from this man. This twisted evil man who wanted me dead. Before he could do anything though the door flew open and there stood Harry and Professor Shepherd with there wands raised at the twisted old man.
Dumbledore switched in a matter of seconds and soon they were facing the old grandfather looking Dumbledore. His wand still pointed at me as I start to pull into myself. Somehow I have to fix the damage he had inflicted. One of the only things that I heard was when Dumbledore said that I had collapsed and that he was trying to help me. After that I felt so much hatred fill me that I found the strength to stand up and look at this man in the eye. He looked at me surprised that I can even move.
I pull out my wand and the next thing Dumbledore knew was darkness. Tears slid down my cheek as I fell to the floor again. Warm arms found there way around my shivering shoulders. Someone kept asking what he did to me over and over again. I can feel myself slipping into darkness and knew that I had to tell them the truth before I passed out.
"He entered my mind... He, he ripped it apart trying to search for my memories of the last ten years... He, he didn't find them... He, he couldn't find them..." I say with the last of my strength as I welcome the darkness...
(A/N I hope you guys liked this chapter! What will happen? Will Dumbledore get away with tearing apart a child's fragile mind? Will Myeisha still be the same person when she wakes up? Will she wake up?
Harry: Wow...
Myeisha: There is no other word to describe this chapter! Where do you come up with this stuff?
KS: I don't know. I just go off into my own world!
Harry: This is the best one yet!
KS: Yup! I would like to say a quick thanks to Ril-O and LilManiac for reviewing! You guys help keep this story going!
BOTH: Keep reviewing!
KS: Please R & R!
Spoilers: "Is she ever going to wake up?"
"Albus Dumbledore you are hereby banned from Hogwarts of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
