Chapter 2:
A sudden silence filled the Great Hall. Those who had been talking were quiet and all heads were turned, looking at Harry whose shocked expression showed that he, along with everyone else, had no idea what was going on.
Of course, Jordan Potter was not actually sister of Harry, but she was his cousin that he had never met. He didn't even know that his dad had a brother or sister; he didn't know that there were any Potters left.
Jordan was not like any other Potter to grace the halls of Hogwarts, born from a Squib and a muggle, which meant she was a "concentrated mudblood" (from the mouth of Blaise Zambini, of course)The sorting hat had been placed on her head and the entire school was waiting for the verdict.
"Oh... I don't know... this one is a hard one, wit, courage, intelligence, plenty of talent... but where to put her?"
"Not... Please not..." she had been whispering, the house was indecipherable.
Many teachers remembered a similar scenario 7 years before, when a young scrawny wizard had stepped up to the hat, people were whispering about him, the smartest hat ever was having trouble placing this boy in his house, just as it was that evening with Jordan. Of course the only differences were that she was female and she didn't have a scar… that anyone could see, at least.
"Better be... GRYFFINDOR!"
But not greeted by the usual cheering, Jordan was greeted by silence and odd looks, to which no one could explain why. I mean she hadn't done anything wrong, yet. I swear, it was so quiet that all the way back in Privet Drive the Dursley's could here people whispering about a mysterious new "Potter, " this, as any news about the magical world heard by Aunt Petunia caused her to faint dead on the floor, Dudley to clutch his bottom and start sobbing and Vernon to start yelling
"KEEP THE BLOODY RUCUS DOWN!"
Later that night, once everyone was fed and watered, and just about to pee themselves from laughing so much during dinner Professor Lupin ran up through the middle tables and said:
"I'm sorry I'm late, my wife just had a baby! Or two, I can't actually remember now."
Professor McGonagall stood; she quietened the room and spoke.
"We have a new Head Master, and Potions Master, due to the event that occurred last year,"
Everyone in the Great Hall looked at the Slytherins who all hissed at the other students.
"Your new Head Master is Professor Remus Lupin, please welcome him,"
The school applauded. Professor Lupin stood and bowed, smiling. Then he sat back down, drumming his fingers on the table top.
"And our new Potions Master for this year is Mr Fred Weasley!" Professor McGonagall spoke, her eyes twinkling. Ron and Harry gasped.
Fred stood, rising to the applause of the Gryffindor's, Hufflepuff's and Ravenclaw's. He waved his hands in the air, grinning and winking at Harry, Ron and Hermione. Jordan smiled to herself.
"Blimey, did you know about that?" Ron wheezed in amazement, whacking Harry in the ribs.
"How could I have?" Harry replied, chuckling. His emerald eyes turned and looked upon his supposed cousin Jordan…she looked miserable to say the least.
"Harry…did you know about her?" Hermione whispered tentatively in his ear. Harry shook her head.
"I had no idea…" he muttered back. Professor Lupin cleared his throat and stood, silencing the hall.
"Another start to another year. Now, off to bed with all of you. I really must dash off to see my wife." He called. Then with a crack he disappeared. Hermione rolled her eyes as whispers broke out in the hall:
"He disapparated, did you see that?"
"You can't disaparate within the Hogwarts castle! It must've been an invisible charm. Everybody knows you can't disaparate inside school grounds! I read about it in…" Hermione fumed, standing up to leave.
"Hogwarts a history," chorused Ron, Ginny and Harry. Hermione blushed.
"Be quiet," she hissed, smiling. Ron put his arm over her shoulder. Harry turned back and waited for Jordan, unsure of what to say.
"Hey," he called as she approached. She smiled at him.
"Hi,"
The people passing stopped to watch.
"I'm Harry, your cousin," Harry said, feeling kinda stupid, but holding out his hand.
"I figured. I'm Jordan, also your cousin." She replied, laughing.
"Welcome to Hogwarts!" Harry waved his hands dramatically, making Jordan laugh harder.
"Thanks. We have so much to talk about…" she said, tucking her hair behind her ears.
"Well, come and join us, we'll show you around." Harry offered, leading her back to his friends. Ron, Hermione and Ginny smiled at her.
"Thanks, I'd like that," Jordan smirked. Harry put his arm over Jordan's shoulder and Hermione tucked her other arm around his waist.
Looks like this year was proving to be very eventful…
