(A/N) Hey, thanks for reviewing my story! I was SO happy! I haven't had another chapter up for a while because I went to Maui for a vacation! It was AWESOME there! Well, I won't keep talking, here is chapter two; I hope you like it!

Notes to Reviewers:

Rittzi: Haha, …interesting… comment! I know you love it anyways. BF4L

i-luv-fanfictions: Hey, thanks for the comment. I know the story weird, it seems like first chapters always are! This chapter is a LOT better though, so you won't be disappointed.

Cupcakes-20: Thanks you SO much! That was one of the nicest reviews I have EVER gotten! Your stories are awesome! Good job!

Buffyfreak: thanks! I always like to hear positive feedback on my stories!

TajM: Hey. I know it seems a bit rushed and weird right now. I always have a bit of trouble on the first couple chapters. There WILL be more conversation coming; I am just trying to set the basic storyline right now. Thank for the review!

Violet Baudelaire: Hmm… I am sorry that you do not like my story. I decided to stagger the love story part a bit, and not put it in the first chapter. I am planning to have about 20 chapters to this story, and if I put EVERYTHING in the first chapter, there would be nothing left to write about, would there? I hope you continue reading my story, and reviewing too!

Alyssa: I am glad you like my story! I know the language is a bit different, but there are two things to remember. I'm not trying to write exactly J.K. Rowling, and Harry, Ron and Hermione are 17. Their language is going to be different then it was in the first year too. I hope you continue reading my story!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with Harry Potter.

The Start-of-Term Feast

Harry Ron and Neville filed into the Great Hall. Half the school was already seated at the four, long tables. Harry glanced up, noticing that the ceiling was showing a cloudless night, with the stars twinkling in the sky. This wasn't odd at all, mind you. The sky was bewitched to look like the weather outside. There were candles floating everywhere, illuminating the ghosts, who were gliding around the room.

Harry walked over to the Gryffindor table, and took a seat in between Nearly Headless Nick and Ginny. Ron sat across from him.

"I wonder how long that dumb old hat's song will be this year? I'm starving!" muttered Ron.

Hermione, who sat on the other side of Ginny, snapped back, "Ron, it is NOT a dumb hat. The sorting is MUCH more important then the food. Everyone knows that!"

"Oh, and was that in Hogwarts, A History too Hermione?" Ron said bitterly. He was quite embarrassed, but at least she had stopped calling him Ronald.

"No, it was not!" Hermione said stubbornly. "Anyone with a speck of common sense in their head would know that, wouldn't they-"

"Come on!" Ginny exclaimed, interrupting Hermione. "Stop your stupid bickering already! If you haven't noticed, the stool has been brought out, and McGonagall just put the sorting hat on it!"

The buzz of talking in the Great Hall stopped, as the first years walked in. They made their way up to the front of the room.

"My God, were we really that short in our first year?" Ron whispered loudly.

"Shut up!" Harry muttered under his breath.

Everyone had their eyes on the hat. It opened near the brim, and started to sing:

Oh welcome back, to you all

I am very glad you're here,

Now we can all sit and eat

And start another year!

The professors teach here

But I sort you all instead,

For it was Godric Gryffindor

Who wore me on his head.

Now Gryffindor was not alone

Our founders equal four,

But when great Slytherin left us

This place became a bore.

So I'm the one that will pick

Where you ought to go,

Which house should you settle in

You shall soon all know.

Gryffindor's are very brave

They all have a great heart,

Ravenclaw's all have good brains

And they are very smart.

Slytherin like the Dark Art's

And they all have pure blood

And Hufflepuff take all the rest

Like all the houses should.

Now you need to get sorted

So everyone can eat,

But one more last quick word

Before you have your feast.

Remember to stick together

And help each other too,

If you do this wisely

You'll succeed in what you do.

Now it is time for me to go,

I will see you all next year,

So have fun at Hogwarts School

I am very glad you're here.

Everyone in the Great Hall burst out in applause. It quickly died down as Professor McGonagall stepped out of the shadows, and stood right beside the sorting hat.

"When I call your name, step forward, sit down on the stool, and place the sorting hat on your head. Once you have been sorted, go sit at the appropriate table." Professor McGonagall said.

"Andrews, Jenny!"

A little girl with shortbrown hair stumbled up to the front of the room. She sat on the stool, and placed the hat on her head.

"She looks like she is about to puke!" Ron said quietly.

Ginny punched him in the arm.

The sorting hat opened its mouth. "RAVENCLAW!"

A burst of cheering and clapping erupted from the Ravenclaw table. Jenny slowly walked over to the table, and sat down with a smile on her face.

"Bowie, Drew!"

A kid with blond hair quickly walked over and sat on the stool. He jammed the hat on his head.

It took a couple minutes for the sorting hat to make its decision. Finally, it opened its mouth and screamed, 'GRYFFINDOR!"

Harry, Ron Hermione, and everyone else at the Gryffindor table jumped up and started clapping. Drew walked over and sat down, with a big smile on his face, humming a song.

The sorting continued normally until they got to the M's.

"Malfoy, Jason"

A boy with blond white hair stepped forward, with familiar blue eyes and a smirk across his face. He looked like a miniature Draco.

The Great Hall went dead silent.

"Oh my god!" Hermione exclaimed quietly.

"I never knew that Malfoy had a little brother!" Harry followed.

The hat was barely placed on his head when it screamed out, "SLYTHERIN!"

Draco Malfoy jumped up with the rest of his table, and clapped furiously. Jason ran over, and took a seat right beside his brother, with an evil smirk on his face.

"Things can't get any worse now." Ron said dully.

The sorting finished, and the stool and the sorting hat were swept away. The Great Hall was buzzing with talking and whispering. Harry could hear lots of mentions of "TWO OF THEM?"and "crap, double trouble."

The students stopped talking as Dumbledore walked to the front of the Hall, standing in front of the teachers table.

"For our first years, Welcome, and for our returning students, Welcome back!" Dumbledore started. "The school caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to remind you to look at the list of objects forbidden inside the castle. It is posted on the door to his office, and contains 527 items.

"As always, the Forest in the grounds is off limits, as is Hogsmeade trip to all below third year.

"We have two new teachers at our school this year. First, for Defense Against the Dark Arts, we are very pleased to welcome back Professor Lupin!"

Professor Lupin walked in, looking better then ever with a big smile on his face. He took a seat at the head table.

Half of the Great Hall erupted into cheers, but the other half looked uneasy. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were of course thrilled.

"Look at Snape!" Ginny yelled to Ron, Harry and Hermione over the noise.

Professor Snape stared at Lupin furiously. You could almost see the sparks of anger jumping off of him.

Dumbledore continued. "You do not have to worry. A cure for werewolves has been found, and Professor Lupin has been treated!"

The rest of the Great Hall looked relieved,and began clapping too.

"Also," Dumbledore continued. "I am sad to say that Madame Hooch has retired, and will no longer be the flying instructor at Hogwarts. I am very pleased to announce, however, that our new flying instructor is none other then the seeker for the Bulgarian Quidditch team, Professor Krum!"

"OH MY GOD NO WAY!" Hermione screamed as the door flew open, and Victor Krum walked in.

"I spoke too soon," Ron said. "Things can get worse, and they just did."

(A/N) Well, I hope you liked it. I think this chapter is way better then the first one! Sorry for the delay, I have been really busy! Please R/R!
