Chapter 7 – A meeting with the headmaster

Professor Mcgonagall turned around when she had said the password and looked at the teens and was about to tell them to go inside when she saw Harry.

She hadn't even noticed the boy's condition.

"Do you need some help up the stairs Mr.?" the professor asked the boy.

Harry looked at her curiously before saying," You can call me Harry, but help with what?"

The professor wasn't sure if the boy was joking or not, so she just pointed at the wheelchair

Harry followed her finger and looked down and seemed extremely surprised to see that he was sitting in a wheelchair. And in truth, he was. He had been so deep in thought that he hadn't even noticed that he hadn't been walking by himself.

"Guys, what in earths name is this?" He asked rather pissed off.

"Later Harry," Mione only said. Then she looked up and saw McGonagalls questioning look and said. "I think we will manage. Windgardium Leviosa," she then said pointing to Harry and walked with Harry floating in front of her up the stair towards the headmaster office with the professor and the rest of the teens following behind.

"Mione, let me down" Harry cried embarrassed.

"As you wish my Lord," She mocked.

Harry just growled and said, "Let's go."

Minvera knocked on the door and waited for the headmaster to invite her in. And she didn't have to wait very long.

"Come in Minvera" came an old pleasant voice.

And so the six people went in.

When they came in Malfoy and Mione gasped slightly.

They had never been there before, but the other three kids just watched in amusement when Albus, obviously startled that Minvera wasn't alone, looked up in shock and stammered.

"A-and who might you be?"

Since no one was speaking Harry decided to speak. It was probably

for the best since he knew most in Occlumency, not much but more then the others.

"Could we possible have a minute of your time sir? Alone? This is rather important." Harry said politely

"I suppose, I just have a small business to take care of with Minevra. Why don't you look around for a moment"?

Mione and surprisingly Malfoy walked straight towards the bookcases, but Ginny and Ron just looked out the window thinking. Harry didn't quite know what to do with himself and was about to join Ron and Ginny when, Fawkes flew up to him and sat on his knee.

Harry smiled a little for the first time that evening, and stroked the beautiful bird that had given him comfort so many times in his life.

Fawkes seemed somehow to recognize Harry and sensing his stress he started to sing.

Harry lost in the beautiful sound didn't notice everyone else in the room looking on them until Dumbeldore spoke,

"Well I think that is all professor, I will see you at the feast."

The professor nodded and left leaving Dumbeldore behind looking strangely on Harry.

"Well, why don't you all have a seat," He said pointing on the armchairs around his desk. When everyone was seated he asked Harry,

"How did you do that?"

"How did I do what?" Harry asked confused

"Get Faweks to sing for you? He is a very shy bird."

"Well,' Harry said blushing, "I just stroke him"

"Weird, he usually never lets anyone touch him except me sometimes. But I think we are getting out of topic, how may I help you?"

Harry feeling surprised about what Dumbledore said didn't answer. Why hadn't he told him that before, he wondered, before Mione pinched him in his arm. He shook his head and saw that everyone was looking on him. He blushed and asked

"I'm sorry what did you say?"

"I asked how I could help you all? Are you ok?" The old man asked in concern.

"Yeah I'm fine. And how you may help us... well I realize that this is rather late but we are here to ask if we could be accepted into Hogwarts for a year."

"Dumbeldore who was expecting said

"Well that is unusual request. May I ask why? And who are you?"

"Well, that is Hermione Granger, Harry said pointing to Mione, and that is Virgina and Ronald White and that is Draco Milroy and I am Harry Jameson. We came here all in hope that you would accept us in this school. I am aver that this is unusual request but we have travelled for a long time to get here and we have no other place to go."

"Where are your parents and why have you travelled so long to get here. You must know that Hogwarts doesn't take exchanged students."

"It is all a rather long story and I rather wouldn't go into it," Harry said nervously.

"Mr. Jameson, I must now more about you. You can't just expect me to enrol five mysterious students when we are in a middle of war now do you?"

"No I understand. You can't risk the safety of your students. Well the thing is that we live far from here. In a small village and our school, isn't that big, only about 40 students.

Anyway, one day this hooded person comes to our school and kidnapped us, and we somehow manage to escape but we can't return home. Firstly we don't know the way and second our village is most likely no more. Mione and me both come from the muggle world and our parents have gone hiding from V-you- know who, and we where supposed to stay at our school for the summer. And as for the others families, they could be dead for all we know. So for a while we just wandered around not knowing what to do, we all knew that we had to find a safe place, and then Mione, the smart witch she is, suggested that we should go to Hogwarts, not only was it the safest place to be in these times but also here we could continue our studies.

But we understand if you can't accept us. After all we are at war and who know who can be trusted and who not,"Harry said hoping that the headmaster believed him, he had tried to be as close to the truth as possible because he knew that lying to Dumbeldore was the hardest think you could do.

Nobody said anything while the headmaster watched them. He didn't seem to believe them but yet finally when he spoke he said,

"I've got this feeling that tells me that there is more to you that the eye meets, but yet I also feel as you can be trusted. You all seem familiar, but I still can't place you and Fawkes seems to trust you, he said looking at the bird that was still sitting with Harry, so I will allow you to come here. BUT, I'll be keeping a close eye on you and if something seems off, I will have no choice but to ask you to leave. Is this ok with you?"

"This is perfect sir, thank you thank you so much" Ron said smiling like no tomorrow.

"Alright, the students should be arriving about now, so you will just get sorted with the first years. What year will you be entering?"

"We will be entering sixth year sir" Harry said

Very well, the old man said standing up. Please follow me.

-----------------------------------

Harry and the others were waiting in the site room in the Grate Hall, the same room Harry went when he was chosen for the tournament in his fourth year. But now he was here for another rezone, he was here waiting for the headmaster to call his name so they could all be sorted into houses, again. But now was more at stake then just being sorted, how on earth was he going to convince the hat to sort them all in the same house. Ok, maybe he, Ron, Mione and Ginny could be sorted in the same house, after all they all used to be Gryffindores, but Malfoy was a whole new story, he was a born Slytherin, and frankly he wasn't sure if he even wanted to try and convince the hat to put him in the same house. But he had to. Angel had told him to.

A new thought a gourd to Harry. What if Malfoy was supposed to go first, then they all had to be Slytherins?

Ohh, god, my dear god, please don't let Malfoy go first. Please, Harry becked in silence and thank god for him that apparently God was in a good mood to day, because about five minutes later the headmaster voice was heard,

"I am sorry to have to say that I have one more announcement before the feat can begin."

Harry could hear the complaining from the students, when they heard that they couldn't eat yet,

"Now, now, quiet down please. It is do my grate pleasure to announce that five new students will be joining us this year. They will be entering sixth year, and I aspect that everyone will to their best to help them get settled in. Now, Mr. Harry Jameson please enter the room so you can get sorted

Harry could have jumped with joy if he wasn't stuck in that chair, surprising everyone else in the room.

"Er, Harry, I think you should get out there" Mione said

"Oh, yeah, right. Hehe, sorry," Harry said sheepishly

And so Harry rolled out of the Hall, and felt that all eyes in the room were on him. It was different from usual, they weren't looking on him because he had a scar, or because he was Harry Potter, the-boy-who-lived, but because they were curious about him, Harry Jameson.

"Put the hat on you" Dumbeldore said, and Harry realized that he had been standing in the middle of the Hall, looking on everyone

"Er, yeah right." He said walking towards the chair and then everything was black as the hat went on his head.

"Well, well, well, what DO we have here? A time traveller and a Potter. This is interesting" The hat said in Harry's ears.

"Yes well, I know my name thank, you and I know my house too, so you can just put me back in Gryffindor where I belong, Harry said

"Patience my boy, patience. Who is to say that you will be sorted in Gryffindor again? I see that I wanted to sort you in Slytherin last time you but the hat on. Then you were ignorant and only went by the rumours that you had heard, so you choose Gryffindor, the house of bravery, the house of my master. But now you have crowned, and although Gryffindor has served you well I am not sure if to but you there again. You have many qualities young Potter."

"If you even try to but me in Slytherin you will be so sorry hat"

"Is that a threat Mr. Gryffindor? I think you would do amazingly well in Slytherin."

"How did you now that I am the heir? And that's crap, the only reason you think you want to but me in Slytherin is because of something that happened 15 years ago. I do not possess the Slytherin qualities."

"It is not you-know-who fault I want to Put you in Slytherin."

"How did you know that?"

"I know everything you know Master. I see your mind and I read it. That is both a curse and a gift that Master Gryffindor gave me. I know your darkest secrets and fears. I know everything you have ever heard of Mr. Potter, so there is no use of trying to keep secrets from me. But that is not the point. You would be amazing in Slytherin, but not because of the reason you think. Keep in mind that even Master Dumbeldore is always right."

"You mean that Voldemort didn't transfer his powers?"

"That is exactly what I mean young one, but I believe that the students are getting restless of waiting so I better but you in a house. You appose Slytherin, but for the wrong reasons. More Slytherins turn bad Mr. Potter, but I see that you don't want to go there so there would be no use of sending you there if you do not understand the reason. So not Slytherin, you are very loyal to your friends and case I see, and you would do great in Huffelpuff, but you possess so many other possibilities and it would be unwise to send you there, and you are a very bright young man, but also very brave. Last year I would say rash, but I see that since your godfathers death you have chanced. We have yet to find out if it is good or bad. I think that you would be suited to Gryffindor better then Ravenclaw but I am not sure. It would be so much easier to sort you if you knew everything and understood everything. You have a request I see."

"Yes I need you to but me and my friends in the same house, but I do not understand what...

"I know you do not understand but there is no time, I see that all but one of your fellow travellers were Gryffindors. I do not do this often, but there are many thing you do not understand and many things you need to sort out, and I see that this is very important so I will grant you your request. And since most of you used to be Gryffindors I will send you there again. But remember that the main reason is your friends. I know you do not understand so I suggest that you come and speak to me again soon, when you have plenty of time, if you want answers. Good, bye young one. GRYFFIONDOR. "Harry heard the hat yell up. He was confused by what the hat had said, but also relieved that he was in Gryffindor. He would have to speak to his friends about this later.

Harry turned around and stared to make his way towards the Gryffindore table and noticed that all of the houses were clapping unbelievable. Well this is weird Harry thought.

He sat down on a spot, which was the only place where five loose chairs were.

"And now would miss Hermione Granger please come forward," Dumbeldore said.

Mione who had been sitting tense and worried that something had gone wrong because it had been ages since Harry left the room, hugged Ginny in relief when she heard her name and ran out of the room. She scanned the room but didn't see Harry anywhere and had no other chose but to put the hat on.

"A muggle born I see, and an ex Gryffindor also. You are a very bright witch; there are few that have but me on that could possibly mach your intelligence. You would make Rowena Ravenclaw proud Miss Granger. But you also have hidden potentials for Gryffindor. You remind me on another student, Miss Evans, a very bright witch, but in the end I decided to but her in GRYFFINDOR," the hat yelled.

Hermione took the hat off in surprise and finally spotted Harry and ran over to him, but before she could say anything Dumbeldore said,

"I hope you make your self at home, Miss Granger, would Mr. White please come out here."

Ron had never felt so nervous in his life. What if Harry hadn't been able to convince the hat to put them in the same place and he would go to Huffelpuff away from his friends. He slowly walked to the hat and put him on,

"Hello Ronald Wealsey, I see that I almost put you in Hufelpuff last time, but that was a mistake you have proven yourself to be a true GRYFFINDOR," the hat yelled.

Ron sighed in relieve and walked to Mione and Harry. This might not turn out so bad he thought.

"Well, three new Gryffindores I see, well, could Miss. White please step forward"

Ginny who had been pacing the room since Mione left nervously made her way to the chair and put the had on but the hat had barley touched her when he said,

"The same goes Miss Weasley, GRYFFINDOR."

And so the fourth Gryffindor, danced her way do the table that evening.

"And now the last new student, could Mr. Milroy please come up here."

Unlike the others Draco kept his cool, he was positive that even if the hat had told Potter that he would but them all in the same house, he would never go anywhere but Slytherin, so he walked cool and nicely to the chair and flipped it on.

"Another Malfoy I see, what a surprise, a Malfoy and a Potter."

"We are not friends, so shut it stupid hat and put me in Slytherin"

"I must say that I am very tempted to do that but you no longer belong there, you have defied the dark Lord and the Malfoy name and you no longer have the REASON I put you there in the first place, You have learnt you lesson, now, normally I would have but you in Ravenclaw... I must say that I am surprised that I have wanted to but three of you in Ravenclaw, perhaps that would have been a better place, but I have made a promise and I always keep my promises, so it better be GRYFFINDOR.

Draco was in shock, and refused to take the had of himself and in the end Mcgonagall had to take it by force and escort Draco to Potter and his friends.

------------------------------

James Potter groaned when the headmaster made the announcement. He just wanted to eat, why was that so hard to understand. The first kid came in view and he heard Moony, one of his best friends gasp slightly.

"What is it?" James asked his friend

"Look at him, he is in a wheelchair. Hogwarts never takes handicapped people, ther is a special school for those cases, hell he doesn't even take transfers. There is something FISHY going on"

"Relax Moony. I am almost 100% that nothing is going on" Padfoot said, James other best friend

"Yeah, your're right, I'm sorry." Moony said

"Yeah, yeah," James said in another world, "what on earth is taking so long with the kid. It's been ages since he put the hat on." Not sooner then those words left his mouth the hat shouted Gryffindor.

The kid looked really relieved and slowly made his way towards the table. And sat right next to James, but he didn't say hi, he didn't even notice James; he just kept looking on the girl that came next out. But thank God that she wasn't so difficult to sort. And soon, the all had been sorted and Dumbeldore started the feast.

James watched the five teens. They were weird. Two of them, looked really like Weasley's, and one of the girls looked really cocky and smart, and the blond boy looked... well Slytherin... But that was stupid, the hat had put him in Gryffindor, the last teen, the first one to be sorted... well, James couldn't say anything about him because he couldn't see him unless he would look right at him. James collected the entire brave he had and turned around, on the way wondering how it was weird how it could be hard to do the simplest things, and said hi,

"Hello, welcome to Gryffindor" James said friendly

The red headed girl looked at him wide eyed like he was some sort of alien, but the red headed boy and the other girl gasped slightly, the blond however looked smug about something.

The fifth teen turned around to reply, but instead of saying hi, he let out a yelp.

Harry Potter was looking in eyes with his father for the first time in 15 years, but his father didn't even know it.

--------------------------

coolwhip0306: Thanks... But no this isn't going to be Harry/Ginny or Harry/Hermione or Hermione/Ron... If I get many reviews asking me to let them all date someone I'll, but I am not gonna let them date each other. They are just gonna be friends... I think I'll make up a person to date Harry... I like those best, but if you have any ideas about who Ron, Hermione, Draco or Ginny could date, I would appreciate it :-D Thanks for your review...

Becky Yuy(): If you think my story suck, I would suggest that you wouldn't read it. And frankly it is stupid to judge storeys based on reviews, people have different tastes. And for your information, I already have a beta and no English is not my first language, but I said so in the first chapter, and no I am not gonna write shit on my language, although it would probably be funny to see you trying to read Icelandic. I...ö... "appreciate" your kindness to inform me on how my story suck and that I can't write, and I'll be sure to keep that in mind, but if you were to try and "help" other authors with there story, here is advice. Skip the insults.
