OK before I start the chapter today I have several things to address. The
first being
Kyntor's (which was a very good question and for those of you who don't know what
that question was I will state it right here)
Lily was in too much danger from Voldemort that she couldn't go to the school, but it is ok for
Harry. Isn't that backwards. Harry is number one on Voldemort's hit list.
Also according to Harry's vision of his parent's death, Voldemort didn't really want to kill Lily.
He only killed her because she wouldn't get out of his way when he was going after Harry.
OK first of all Voldemort wanted to kill all muggle-born witches and wizards and Lily was no
exception to that, I personally think that he just wanted to kill Harry more than he wanted to
kill her at the time, also it would be more painful if Lily had both her husband and son dead
than for her just to die. Any way onto the real question, there are several reasons why it was
more dangerous for Lily. One was that at the time Voldemort's powers were not as well
known at the time and so the school did not know the proper wards to put up, it really wasn't
that safe for anyone to attend the school at the time, but the people running the school did
not want people who were already in a very safe place to move. As for the reason that Harry
is safe is because the wards are nearly impossible to break now (that will come up later in the
story) and the fact (even though this was not part of the original plan of the school) No one
knows where Harry is. And Lily would have had to tell Dumbledore and those people because
most likely she didn't have a reason to run away. If you have any more questions on that
matter feel free to ask.
Next order of business is last chapters winner for my question was Clairepotter. If you want
to know that answer just look in the reviews. Also know that Gwydion was Lancelot's
Avalonian name.
And last but not least this is an idea inspired by Mione5. I have decided that with every
chapter I will post a trivia question. I want you all to STATE YOUR HOUSE AND ANSWER and
I am going to have my own little house cup. The house with the most points will win the
house cup in the story. Everyone can answer this, more than one person I mean. I wish you luck.
THIS WEEKS QUESTION: Five points for each part of this question you get right and 20 if you
get the whole this right. WHAT IS VICTOR KRUM'S WAND MADE OF? (core, wood, and
length) Also a bonus five points for anyone who can tell me what team Victor plays for.
Without further adios:
Chapter Five: Of New Friends
Sirius was pacing...actually he had been pacing for the last two hours without any
sign ever stopping. Remus sighed and said to his friend, "If you don't stop soon
Padfoot you'll wear a hole into the floor."
Sirius didn't stop. "Moony it shouldn't take this long! Dumbledore left nearly two
hours ago to see if anyone had heard from Harry! What if he can't find Harry? What
if Harry got kidnapped or hurt? What if Harry's last memory of me was of me hitting
him? What would James say? No, forget James, Lily would kill me! I bet they are
both turning over in their graves because of the way that..Albus!"
Dumbledore flooded back into the room with a grim look on his face. Remus' heart
sank in sync with Sirius'.
"Have you found him?" Sirius asked anxiously, preparing for the worse.
Dumbledore shook his head sadly.
Sirius sank down into a chair in front of Dumbledore's desk.
'This is all my fault!' He thought to himself. As though reading his mind
Dumbledore said, "You shouldn't blame yourself Sirius. We both know that Harry is
a strong spirited boy who will do what he pleases. I will begin to send out search
parties immediately. In the mean time I would like you to go home, Remus if you
would go with him, and hold down fort there. I will contact you at the end of the day
to tell you how the search is going. Good day gentlemen."
Remus led the heart broken Sirius to the fireplace where he called out to go back
home.
While Sirius may have been completely miserable, Harry was having a great
time at his new school! As the students came they were sent to the rec room to wait
for everyone else. In a very short period of time the other students had all gotten
there. When the last boy entered, so did Ria and Matt who had been the welcoming
committee for the arriving students. The two siblings beamed as they looked at the
eight teenagers lounging around on the sofas.
"Welcome everyone to Gwydion's! For the next year you will all be working very
close to each other and all become like brothers and sisters to each other. But before
that happens first you have to be introduced to each other!" Every one in the room
groaned at Matt's bad joke. Ria rolled her eyes and continued the speech.
"We would like to go around the room and have everyone say their name,
their country, your past education, your best subject, an interesting fact about
themselves that no one else in this room knows, and your favorite candy. Harry why
don't you start?" Everyone's attention turned to the Boy-Who-Lived who blushed
slightly and then went on with it.
"My name is Harry Potter, I'm from Godric's Hollow, England. I was a Gryffindor
at Hogwarts, and my best subject is either flying or DADA." Here Harry paused for
a second thinking about what he was going to say, for some strange reason he trusted
the people around him so he kept going.
"Something that no one knows about me is that I ran away from my godfather to
come to school hear and none of my friends know where I am at the moment. Oh
and my favorite candy is Chocolate Frogs."
The students as well as Matt and Ria looked surprised that Harry had ran away from
home and Ria gave him a stern look that said that they would talk about the premise
of him being at this school later.
The next person to go was a boy with sandy brown hair and brown eyes, with quite a
tan.
"G'day. I'm Aidan Yamal from Australia. I went to Sydney's Academy for the
Magically Gifted but my best subject was muggle science. Ummm.. Once I stole a
Joey from a muggle zoo in Australia and raised it myself until I set him free. And I
am rather fond of Sugar Quills."
The girl next to Aidan looked surprised at the Joey thing. In appearance she looked
very similar to the boy next to her, only she had dark red hair down her back. She
even spoke in the same accent as the Aidan."
"I am Nadia Yamal also from Australia. And like my brother here I went to Sydney's
Academy for the Magically Gifted but my best subject was math. No one knows that
I found my birth certificate a year ago and found out that I was an hour and a half
older than Aidan. Our parents weren't going to tell us until we were 20! I really like
Fizzy Wizbees.."
Aidan looked flabbergasted and quite angry to find out that his sister was older than
him! Next to come was a girl with her brown-bleached hair back in a messy bun.
She also had blue eyes and when she opened her mouth to speak Harry noticed that
she had muggle braces on her teeth.
"Hey everyone! My name is Krisalyn Mei but you can call me Kris. I currently live
on Bainbridge Island, Washington in the United States. I go to normal muggle
school there but attended private lessons in magic every other night. My best subject
is Care of Magical Creatures. Something interesting about me is that I am allergic to
metal. I love Twix!"
Beside Krisalyn was a black girl with her hair braided and pulled back into a ponytail.
She looked rather short and had black eyes. Harry immediately found himself liking
her.
"Hi, I am Chalondra Zeki called Ondra by everyone I know! I live in Cape Town,
South Africa. My father has home schooled me in magic and my best subject is
Charms. I have the same birthday as my best friend! Though she is four hours
older.. I suppose the Snickers are my favorite candy."
The boy next to Ondra dark brown, spiked blue. He also had blue eyes,
which Harry was begging to think was a family trait. He wore thin-wire circular
glasses.
"I am Mac Vidor, from Vancouver, Canada. So far I have had all muggle schooling
so my best subject is biology, which I am told on wizard standards would be
Herbology. Well..I play the drums in a rock band that I created and sometimes
bass. Oh and my favorite candy is recess peanut butter cups."
The girl sitting next to Mac, was the last girl in the group. She had flaming red hair
and freckles that reminded Harry a little too much of the Weasleys. She had gray eyes
and very long eyelashes.
"Hello everybody! I'm Fiona Emberlyn from Ireland. I never went to real school,
my two eldest sister's taught me all the magic I know. Me mum wanted me to stay
home and help take care of my brother's and sisters. I'm best at Transfiguration.
The only interesting thing about me is that I have six other brothers and sisters. Four
sisters and three brothers. Pumpkin Pasties are my favorite sweet."
After Fiona there was only one person left. A boy that Harry vaguely recognized, and
was wondering where he had seen this boy before. He had purple-blue eyes and
blonde hair.
"My name is Alaphonce McInnis from Scotland. I was a Ravenclaw at Hogwarts and
my best class is History of Magic. I've never told anybody but I love painting."
Alaphonce blushed slightly after saying this. "Licorice wands are my favorite candy."
Ria grinned when she realized that everyone had finished. Her blue eyes sparkled as
she turned to the students. "Let's get you settled into your rooms! I trust that you
will find them comfortable. But don't bother unpacking. Because tomorrow we set
out on our fall retreat!"
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE CHARACTERS AND WHEN UPDATES WILL OCCUR I HAVE STARTED A YAHOO GROUP FOR ALL OF MY FICS. PLEASE JOIN!!!!! THE LINK IS ON MY AUTHORS PAGE!
One last note- I have introduced A LOT of new characters in this chapter, none of them will be perfect people (aka Mary-Sues) please just give me more time to develop them. Also there will be a lot more Sirius later, but you will have to wait probably a chapter for there to be a whole lot of him. Sorry, that just the way it works!
