Chapter 4: Dinner and a Show
"Liz their arriving." Said Hermione coming in while Liz put on a necklace and matching bracelet.
"I'm done." Said Liz coming out of the bathroom.
"Wow, you look great." Said Hermione complimenting Liz's lovely outfit.
"Thanks you too." Shall we go?" Asked Liz walking towards the portrait hole.
"Yeah. Malfoy and Matt are waiting for us outside the Great Hall." Said Hermione following her.
"That's good." Said Liz with a forced smile which Hermione didn't see.
The carriage stopped in front of the staircase into the castle. Harry exited helping Olivia down courteously.
"You can sit with us." Said Ron as he got out.
"Actually the sorting hat needs to place me first, but sure save me a seat." Smiled Olivia with her eyes shining brightly.
"Oh right, well can we walk you to the Great Hall then so you know where you're going." Offered Harry kindly.
"Sure. So why do people keep staring at you?" Asked Olivia looking at all the onlookers even though she knew why.
"Wow, you really are new around here." Said Ron smiling and shaking his head.
"I guess I'm that obvious." Said Olivia blushing.
"It's ok. Come on lets not be late. Mcgonagall would have a fit if you weren't at the sorting ceremony on time." Said Harry laughing.
"You have no idea." Thought Olivia with a smile.
"I'm guessing you're here. Meet us outside the Great Hall." Thought Liz as she watched all the First years being ushered next to her.
"Alright. Quit telling me what to do." Olivia thought annoyed.
"If you kept out of trouble I wouldn't have to." Thought Liz back.
"Well there's the Great Hall." Said Harry as they moved forward.
"Oh thank you. I can see my sister now." Said Olivia pointing to a somewhat taller girl who wore a black corset with curls falling down to her waist.
"That's your sister?" Asked Ron with his voice cracking a bit.
"Yeah she's the Head Girl at our school and the really tall guy is Matt." Said Olivia waving slightly at the two who in turn gestured her over.
"Looks like you have somewhere to be." Said Harry seeing this.
"I will in a minute. So where are you going to be sitting?" Asked Olivia ignoring her sister.
"That girl is pissing me off." Said Liz with gritted teeth.
"Well you can't blame her for doing her job well." Said Matt observing Olivia's flirting with Harry.
"You'll see us. Well we need to be seated so hopefully you'll be sorted into our house." Said Harry smiling at her.
"Yeah we'll save you a seat." Said Ron as they walked away.
"Oh I think I'll be there in no time." Said Olivia when they were out of ear.
"Yeah and over here too." Said Liz standing right next to her.
"Jeez! I thought I told you to cut that out." Said Olivia turning to her sister with her eyes flashing amber.
"Oh calm down and come on." Said Liz not threatened by those eyes that she'd seen so many times before.
"Hermione, Draco, I'd like you to meet my younger sister Olivia or Liv if you'd prefer." Said Liz as she introduced Olivia to the two other Heads of House.
"Nice to meet you." Said Hermione shaking her hand.
"You too." Said Olivia taking a step forward to shake her hand.
"Wonderful to meet you." Said Draco in a very sugar coated tone as he took her hand in his and kissed it.
"Yeah right." Said Olivia rolling her eyes knowingly.
"Olivia." Said Liz.
"Sorry, it's nice to meet you too." Said Olivia in the same sugar coated tone.
Before anyone could respond Hermione and Draco left as well did the First Years with Mcgonagall.
"Liv, nice." Said Matt praising Olivia on her and Malfoys encounter.
"Oh don't you encourage this." Said Liz raising her left eyebrow at him.
"It's no secret, nobody likes the guy." Said Matt seriously now.
"You know as well as I do that's not the point. We are above that, if he's not then that's his problem." Said Liz folding her arms across her chest and sticking her hip out with attitude.
"I'd argue with you but you're just too damn sexy right now." Said Matt licking his lips seductively as he came closer and pulled Liz into his arms.
"Oh would you two get a room?" Asked Olivia rolling her eyes.
"And you of all people should be more courteous. It might improve your attitude." Said Liz tilting her head back from Matt so she was looking at her sister.
"So says you." Said Olivia smiling and flicking her hair aside.
"Yeah great attitude." Laughed Liz.
Dumbledore gave his small speech and the First Years were quickly sorted.
"Now as you all have probably noticed there were three people standing outside the Great Hall. These are exchange students from Isalaria, which is our neighboring school in America. Now they to will be sorted." Said Dumbledore as the doors opened and in walked Liz Olivia, and Matt.
The trio made their way up to Mcgonagall where she pulled out a piece of parchment.
"Matthew Anderson." Spoke Professor Mcgonagall as Matt sat upon the stool.
"Well you are quite strong willed as well as talented. Yes, Gryffindor!" Rang the Hats' voice as it was taken off and Matt made his way to where Hermione was sitting and sat down.
"Olivia Dumbledore." Said Professor Mcgonagall with a slight smile on her face.
"Dddid she ssay Ddddummbbllledore?" Asked Ron looking shocked and horrified.
"Interesting." Said Harry to himself.
"Now, Another Dumbledore I am sure of where you'll be placed." Said the hat aloud as the Great Hall fell silent.
"Really? Because first I was thinking Hufflepuff because of my high IQ but then I've been told because of my courage, Gryffindor. Ya know what I mean?" Thought Olivia with her eyes looking up at the rim of the hat.
"Those are good point my dear." Said the hat contemplating.
"But then I thought Pureblood with talent why not Slytherin, so I'm wondering if either of those can help my talents." Thought Olivia with a smirk appearing on her face and her eyes turning to a greenish blue from the fun she was having.
"Yes, yes, well let's see." Said the hat scrunching as it tried to figure out where to place her.
"Olivia what did I tell you?" Thought Liz angrily.
"Oh come on it's barely been five minutes." Thought Olivia mischievously.
"Olivia." Thought Liz warningly.
"Alright. Gryffindor is where I will do best." Thought Olivia rolling her eyes.
"Spoken as a true Dumbledore. Gryffindor!" Bellowed the hat as Olivia got up and winked at Harry.
"Always a show off." Smiled Liz to herself.
"Elizabeth Dumbledore." Spoke Mcgonagall as Liz took a step forward and sat on the stool.
"Well, well, Two Dumbledore's in one night. Now let us see here." Said the hat as it was placed on her head.
"Ah… A Shroud, a shroud, is what you show but what lies within your heart we'll never know so Slytherin is your home to be, and we have much yet to see." Spoke the hat before Liz got up and made her way over to the Slytherin table with shocked looks.
"Always one to steal the spot light." Said Olivia with a small laugh to Harry as she sat in between him and Ron.
"What did the hat mean?" Asked Hermione to herself.
"May I sit here?" Asked Liz to Malfoy.
"Of course. Welcome." Said Malfoy in a somewhat deadly tone.
"Thank you." Smiled Liz a little uneasy as the whole table studied their newest member.
"Olivia why is she in Slytherin?" Asked Matt looking tense.
"It's just where she ended up Matt. You know how Liz wants to be the show stopper." Said Olivia knowing his concern that she to shared.
"Now, Congratulations to our new editions and let us start the feast." Said Dumbledore as the tables filled with food.
"Pardon me, but why is Liz in Slytherin?" Asked Hermione.
"Just the hat I guess." Said Matt still a little upset.
"Oh." Said Hermione finding this weird.
"You could have warned me you'd be in Slytherin, and what was with what the hat said?" Thought Olivia irritably.
"I'm sorry. Is Matt ok?" Thought Liz concerned.
"Why don't you ask him? Honestly, I hope you have a reason for that." Thought Olivia testily.
"I do." Thought Liz sounding torn.
"Matt?" Thought Liz hesitantly.
"So what's this about? Are you trying to prove something?" Thought Matt furiously.
"So your name's Liz, right? I'm Blaise Zabini. "Said Blaise putting out his hand.
"Yeah the name's Liz, nice to meet you Blaise." Said Liz shaking it.
"So are you related to the Headmaster then?" Asked a manish looking girl.
"Yes I am. And you are?" Asked Liz nicely.
"Millicent Bullstrode." Said the girl with the same sugar coated smile and tone Malfoy used with her sister.
"Leave her alone Bullstrode." Warned Malfoy.
"Thank you for ignoring me. We'll talk later." Thought Matt furiously.
Liz just sighed and kept eating.
"So Harry, Ron do you two play Quidditch?" Asked Olivia as she at some roasted duck.
"Yeah, I'm the Team Captain as well as the Seeker and Ron is the Goal Keeper. Do you play?" Asked Harry very intrigued.
"Oh yeah, I'm a Chaser." Smiled Olivia.
"Are you serious? Well we need a new Chaser actually. You should try out when we have try outs." Said Harry enthusiastically.
"Cool I'd love to." Said Olivia brightly.
"Good, well as soon as we figure out try outs we'll let you know." Said Ron liking this girls personality.
"So you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but why is your sister in Slytherin? She doesn't look evil and what was with the hat?" Asked Ron shoving his face with food.
"Oh Liz isn't evil or anything. I thought she'd be Gryffindor for sure, but hey things change." Said Olivia shrugging.
"I was suppose to be Slytherin but the hat changed its mind." Said Harry as he put some roasted potatoes on his plate.
"That hat I think is too old to tell anymore, cause I was messing with him and he couldn't make up his mind. Finally I told it Gryffindor and it agreed. So I think it has made a mistake because Liz is nothing like that Malfoy. Plus she's not scary like those Slytherin girls." Said Olivia looking over at the Slytherin table and getting a scared/gross look on her face.
"She's quite lovely." Commented Lavender Brown who was about five people away.
"I know, have you seen their eyes? We should ask that Olivia girl how she does it. And that Elizabeth from Slytherin has quite a look." Agreed Parvati Patil.
"You think they'll talk to us?" Asked Lavender excitedly.
"Oh God." Said Olivia as the two girl stared at her.
"Watch out for them they're mental." Said Ron rotating his finger near his ear.
Olivia laughed and went to grab for her goblet but accidentally grabbed Harry's hand.
"Sorry." Said Olivia blushing as he turned to look in her eyes again just staring.
The two hadn't noticed Ginny who was not enjoying the scene.
"Hermione do you see what I see?" Asked Ginny turning red with anger.
"They're just talking Ginny, besides it's not likely she'd go for him anyway." Said Hermione unconcerned.
"They look awfully chummy." Said Ginny getting up and walking over.
"Hey Harry." Said Ginny breaking Olivia and Harry's moment.
"Hey Ginny. Have you met Liv?" Asked Harry breaking his gaze and introducing Ginny to Olivia.
"No, I don't believe I've had the pleasure." Said Ginny with a plastered smile on her face.
"Allow me. Hi I'm Olivia Dumbledore." Said Olivia standing and putting out her hand.
"Ginny Weasley." Said Ginny taking her hand hesitantly.
Olivia's eyes flashed a crimson red quickly and then returning to their emerald green. Ginny stepped back slightly scared.
"I hope dessert's on its way." Smiled Olivia sitting down again.
Hey I hope you like what I have so far. Please let me know how it's going. Thanks. Liz
