The repartition

Anakin was getting nervous, and was walking in front of the Great Hall. Students would start to arrive soon. He hated being the attraction centre and had a feeling that would be the case tonight. To add to his troubles, professor McGonagall asked him to teach all of what he knew about the Force. Anakin was beginning to doubt his capacity to teach the class. He, however, elaborated a very complete and flexible syllabus if something unexpected happened, he was ready more than ever. The last thing left to do, the more important, was to recruit student whom could have a certain potential becoming a Jedi. He wasn't sure if he could found more than five, but was hoping nonetheless. McGonagall gave him free hand but asked of him to give her weekly news.

Students were beginning to enter the Great Hall. The young Jedi was feeling raw magic coming from the students, he sensed possibility. He knew then that he wouldn't have any problem finding apprentices. He could be more selective. From where he was standing, Anakin could study them at ease, attempting to discover those who possessed the power he was calling the Force. Right off, he noticed three of them who were standing out of the crew. A young dark hair girl, very beautiful, healthy beautiful of such an elegance, a tall boy with glasses and a red head sexy girl, pale skin, aqua blue eye. Anakin continued looking around and his interest got spike by a young boy, 13 years old, ordinary looking but with an emerald aura. He knew this boy could, with training, control the elements.

The first years where now entering the room. Professor McGonagall was looking at me and with a sign of her hand, invited him to join the first years. They explained him the ceremony of the sorting, the old hat role in the students repartition. Anakin entered the Great Hall and felt a lot of eying getting on him. He sat down on the small stool behind the first years. He turned back to look one more time at the girl who got in his eye first of. 'By the Force, she is beautiful' couldn't help thinking Anakin.

- Welcome, welcome everyone, the new students and those who decided to come back, this time more than ever we need to stay united, due to the number of students who won't be returning this year, I am pleased to inform you that the four houses will have their classes together. And without waiting some more, we're going to proceed with the repartition, announced the Headmistress. When I'll call your name, you're going to go up on the scene and put the sorting hat on your head, it will tell you the House you're going to be sorted.

When all the kids got sorted, she took back the speech where she left it.

- This year, also, we're welcoming a new student from another school. Pleased welcome M. Anakin Solo-Skywalker. He'll be joining the seventh years.

The clapping was discreet, but all were looking at him, it was the first time in more than fifteen years that Hogwarts accepted a transfer student. Anakin put the sorting hat on and was invaded by a strange sensation. Someone was trying to read his head, well, his thoughts. And then; he heard a voice only he seemed to hear.

"Hum, a traveller who comes from far away isn't?" said the voice, "I see power, lots of it, ambition, knowledge craving mind, so much possibilities for you young Skywalker… on the grandfather footsteps you're going if you choose wrong…but where to put you?" "It doesn't matters, hurry up so that we can get over it!" Anakin said to the hat. "Impatient too, so be it, SLYTHERIN!"

Anakin gladly put off the hat, he hated when someone was able to invade his mind that easily. He slowly made his way for his new house table. The dinner was almost over when the Headmistress got up to talk once more.

- Dear students, a last moment of your attention now, I still have few things to tell you.

She waited few moments before talking again.

- First off, lets welcome back professor Remus Lupin who will be taking his old post as Defence Against the Dark Arts, also, this year, I am proud to present you your Heads, Miss Hermione Granger form Gryffindor and Mister Blaise Zabini, from Slytherin. Please come to see me after the feast, she added to the two heads, Also, she said after the applause, we added a new class this year. The concerned people will be notified. On that, I wish you all a good year!

Murmurs began once more. Each one wanted to know of what it was question, everyone had an opinion on the subject that he or she wanted to shared. Hermione was very surprise to see Lupin coming back at Hogwarts, she talked with him during the summer and he never said a thing about returning to Hogwarts. She was pleased nonetheless, but deceived because he hadn't trusted her with something like this. It wasn't like it was the secret of the century thought the young girl. She decided to confront him as soon as possible.

Hermione told the password to the other prefects, as she had received them from the Headmistress the second she step foot in the Great Hall. She noticed that Zabini had finished eating and was coming her way. She also took note that the new boy was looking at her very intensely, Hermione raised her chin in defiance and turn her back on him, the boy rendered her uneasy. Zabini quickly joined the girl, and together they arrived at McGonagall's door.

- Candy-floss, said Hermione to the Gargoyle.

Blaise looked at her strangely; he didn't understand the meaning of the password. He didn't make any comments; he had to gain the girl trust. Professor McGonagall invited them inside her office, showing them the two seats.

- I wanted, once more, to congratulate you two for your accomplishments, personals and academics. Like I said before, a new course had been added, the teacher will be more qualified than myself to answer any questions you might have. If I asked you two to join me, well, I want to invite you to promote House Unity, for that reason, you're going to be sharing your new quarter.

- WHAT! Exploded the two students.

- You heard me all right, McGonagall responded her mouth in a thin line, you're going to show the example; you're not kids anymore, she added with a tone that permitted no reply.

- Yes Headmistress, answer Hermione knowing full well that it was useless to argue with McGonagall when she had her mind set.

Blaise said nothing but right now, but he was kind of relieved of this situation. He could use it to his advantage. He only saw one flaw, his girlfriend. He didn't like leaving her alone in the snake pit, but he had no choice. Luckily, she didn't remember a thing about her summer, and that was for the best…

Professor McGonagall showed them the way to their dorms. Told them their new password, "Unity", 'How original' thought ironically the both of them.

Hermione was very please with the size of their common room. A very big fireplace was taking place in the back of the room. Two couches in cream color leather, looking very comfortable, were facing each other. A big library with two study desks, which made the Head Girl very happy, was located in the right corner of the common room. Between the two staircases on the left side of the room, leading to their respective bedchamber, was a very beautiful white bathroom. They weren't deceived by their room which were decorated like they wanted. It was getting late, so both decided to call it a night.
