Chapter 2: Sun-Kissed
The old students from Hogwarts went directly to their respective house tables for the start-of-the-term feast. Harry and Ron went to their regular place at the Gryffindor table while Ginny chose a seat as far as she can get from Harry. Hermione went to the Heads table but came back to the Gryffindors shortly. Harry kept drawing heavy breaths as he looked down on his plate.
"Harry, you could at least eat." Hermione patted his back and gave him a thin smile as she sat down panting a bit. Harry also gave her a thin smile and scooped some carrot butter jelly.
"Heyy... Dumbledore cut his beard!" Ron pointed out at the front. Harry and Hermione stretched their necks to get a view. Dumbledore with his familiar glasses and his white hair, did sport a shorter beard. It was cut half the original length and some strands were still in braids.
"Silence everyone!" The old gentle wizard began to speak and everyone turned their attention to him.
"Welcome to the new students of Hogwarts! Welcome back to the old ones! As our yearly tradition here at Hogwarts, we go now to the sorting of the first years!" Dumbledore motioned all the first years to the Sorting Hat and it played the new song and sorted all the first year students to their respective houses.
"Now, I proudly announce to you that we will be again, the host to our foreign guests from two foreign schools but this time the Tri Wizard Tournament has been cancelled due to what happened a couple of years ago..." Dumbledore said and he shortly glanced at Harry's direction.
"Students, Faculty members please welcome our guests! From the Gilstricc Academy!" The door of the Hogwarts' Great Hall opened and fifty boys entered marching, all wearing maroon velvets on their uniforms.
"Ah, my old friend Rosemary" Dumbledore hugged a petite woman with blonde/grayish hair. She is the Headmistress of Gilstricc Academy which is based in America.
"And now, the ladies from Cratos Academia de Majica!" There were also fifty girls in beige corduroy dresses and most have light brown skin and dark hair because the school hailed from Spain.
"They're not veelas but they are equally fit..." Ron whispered to Harry as he excitedly scanned the girls with hummingbirds flying around them. Harry took a look but immediately lose interest.
"I wished they brought along their male classmates, I heard Spanish guys are hot." Lavender looked at the girls shortly and turned her attention to the American boys.
"Long time no see Dumbledore." The Headmaster of Cratos came to Dumbledore and gave him a warm hug.
"I agree with you Fernan. How's the job as the new Headmaster?"
"Smooth, but I heard yours is tough." He gave Dumbledore one more hug and seated at the faculty table.
"As a host for this event of establishing good relations with international wizards, I' am wishing our guests a wonderful stay here and Hogwarts will assure that you will have that. In the meantime le-" Dumbledore's words were cut off when Hagrid rushed to him and whispered something on his ear. Dumbledore nodded his head and the door of the Great Hall opened. Everybody turned to that direction and saw a person wearing a brown robe with gold ropes tied around the waist. A hood covered half of the face. The unidentified guest walked inside the hall and towards Dumbledore.
"Everyone, I almost forgot to tell you. We have a new student who will stay here at Hogwarts." Dumbledore announced and motioned to the person. The person pulled out the hood and it turned out to be a girl.
"Blimey...a bird…a pretty one..." Ron's jaw dropped and every guy in the hall had the same reaction. Harry looked around to observe the silent audience and saw Draco Malfoy's mouth hanging open. To his curiosity he turned to the girl. Harry blinked several times to register the face of the girl in front and Ron's right, she's a pretty bird.
"Sorry I'm late, the carriage broke down." The girl said. Her voice was light and cool to the ears. She was about five foot and three inches in height. She looked like an Egyptian goddess because of the gold v-shaped headchain on her forehead decorated with black little gems. She tugged her hair out of the robe and black curls of waves bounced on her back. She can be mistaken as one of the Cratos ladies but her looks were a mixed of different blood. She looked Indian but her skin was lighter than the Patil sisters. Her oval face had a tiny mouth glossed with a peach tint. She had sun-kissed skin and her cheeks glowed like bronze. Her eyes, dark as the midnight black. Every guy in the hall was in awe.
"That's alright, you've travel far. Everyone, this is Jenniah Soqunda. She came from the Shaydra Wizarding Institute and has transferred here at Hogwarts. She will be considered as 7th year and will remain here up until she finished. A welcome for Jenniah!" Everyone gave a warm applause for her and some even whistled. Harry was still staring at her amidst the commotion. Jenniah let out a smile and caught Harry's eye. He gulped feeling a bit tensed when their eyes met but it was just a very short glance.
"Jenniah, as part of your stay here you will need to be sorted so that you will be part of a house. Please take a seat." Jenniah sat on the chair and the sorting hat was place on her head.
"Beautiful... beautiful indeed... yes...smart..Ah~~~a pureblood of course..." The hat said.
So...she's a pureblood... Harry thought and happened to glance at Draco who was smirking when he heard that she was a pureblood and the chances that she'll be included in Slytherin.
"Pureblood...I see great adventures in your heart, your past, and the coming times... GRYFFINDOR!" The Sorting hat shouted and the Gryffindor students clapped to welcome the new student. Harry sighed with unexpected relief. He didn't know why he started to be concern about this girl and gave her his extra attention. He glanced again at Draco and he was not smirking anymore, he was sulking. Draco definitely has a crush on the girl.
"Take your seat at the Gryffindor table, Jenniah." Dumbledore smiled at her.
"Thank you very much, sir." Jenniah took his hand and kissed it. Dumbledore and most of the students were quite shocked at the gesture.
"A sign of respect. One of the things I learned in Asia." Jenniah smiled and Dumbledore nodded.
"So, all settled eh? Let the feast begin!" Dumbledore clapped his hand as more food appeared on the table.
"Jenniah, here is your seat." Colin, a 5th year prefect of Gryffindor showed her place.
"Thank you." Jenniah smiled at him.
"Uhh... you're welcome." Colin blushed at the smile and slowly went back to his seat.
When Harry took a spoonful of beefed pumpkin pudding into his mouth, he felt Ron elbowed him on the ribs and Harry choked on his food. He tried to reach for a butterbeer across the table and saw Jenniah sat down in front of him. Their eyes met and Harry froze in his place for a couple of seconds with his mouth looking like a balloon ready to explode. Jenniah gave him a warm smile and when Harry tried to smile back, he tried to swallow his food but instead he choked on it and coughed hard and started punching his chest.
"Harry!" Hermione slapped his back while Ron gave the glass of butterbeer to Harry. Harry immediately got the glass and drank all its contents and spilled some of it on his robe.
"Next time chew your food properly." Hermione sighed and sat back.
"R-Ron was elbowing me for no rea-"
"Are you alright?"
Author's note:
Dumbledore should be present at Harry's love story so, I made him alive.
Gilstricc Academy, Rosemary, Fernan, Cratos Academia de Majica, Jenniah Soqunda, Shaydra Wizarding Institute are made-up characters and places... Cratosians should be Greeks but I turned them into Spanish...
