Chapter 4 – the announcement
"Come on" Hermione said pulling Ron up off the ground "let's go and find them." "I have a feeling we're gonna have a very interesting year Hermione" Ron chuckled. They found them an hour later it the Gryffindor common room, still laughing. "Harry?" Camellia said "you do realize that Sev's gonna want revenge" "yah but he's gonna have to catch us first." "Constant vigilance" Harry bellowed doing his best moody impression sending them into fresh peels of laughter, "erhem" Ron said to make their presence known. "Ron, 'Mione" Harry said getting up and pulling them into a hug "there's someone that I'd like you to meet." "This is my sister Camellia, Mellia these are my to best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger." "How do you do" Hermione said offering her right hand to Camellia, she took it and said "I'm fine thanks how was your trip?" they spent the next few hours talking until they herd Mrs Weasleys voice ring out
Around the castle "dinner in the great hall in 20 minutes!" with that the four teenagers went to dinner. When they got there the 4 house tables were gone instead there was one big round one. The dinner was pleasant enough; after the desserts were gone Dumbledore stood up and cleared his throat. The table went silent " I have an announcement to make" he continued " you all know the situation with Harry and Camellia so I will not go into detail now that they have met we can't break the up, we could try but we'd probably end up in st mungo's so we wont . Instead I have enrolled her as Camellia Evans. I have told the board of governors that Camellia is a gifted witch and should be given a chance to advance it. So Camellia, welcome to Hogwarts. I will announce that you have been on the list for a while and a place has just opened up for you, if you could stand so we can sort you." she did so and when the hat came within six inches of her head it shouted Gryffindor! She sat back down and Harry gave her a one armed hug and moody gave her a pat or the back (she was sitting between Harry and moody) and with that Dumbledore said "right you lot time for bed" there were protests from all over the table. But Mrs Weasley seconded the motion and there were no further protests so the children went up to the tower. When they got there they found an extra bed in the girl's dorm. Dumbledore had sent for all their things from Diagon ally so they didn't have to go to London they would take a port key to platform 9 ¾ and take the train like every one else. The next few weeks went by in a blur of pranks, late night kitchen raids and Quidditch practice. Soon, too soon the day was there. The five students were in the entrance hall at 10:30 saying there good buys, then Dumbledore gathered them and handed them a broken belt "this it?" Ron said "ouch what was that for?" (Hermione had nudged Ron hard in the ribs) Harry chuckled "let's go."
