1Chapter Two: The Sorting Hat
Pronounce it for me, sir, to all our friends,
For my heart speaks they are welcome.
Macbeth
Of the returning Gryffindors, there were very few. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Neville, Seamus, and some second years that nobody remembered. Almost all of the Slytherines had returned, except for Crabbe and Parkinson. Some People believed that they were forced to get maried by Voldemort himself, but no one knew for sure, except for Malfoy.
As the students disembarked the carriages they noticed that there was only one new student. She had a tall slender body, long braided hair that almost touched the ground. It seemed almost as if her hair changed colors on its own. It was a hypnotizing raven black with an almost purple/red tent to it. Hermione had to drag Harry and Ron away from her and into the castle.
At the head table their was one teacher missing, Professor Binns, and two new teachers, and were Dumbledor would have sat at the begining of the year, sat McGonagall
To her right sat a women with solid white hair and ice blue eyes. Her hair was not white with age but it was as if she was born with it and it never changed its color. Hermione liked her automatically. The man to the left had solid black hair and shockingly green eyes. As people were getting seated Mcgonagol slowly stood up "Before we begin the sortig, Harry Potter, might I have a word with you please." As she left the head table to leave the great hall the man and Harry followed her.
"Mr. Potter, I am aware that we probably should have informed you of this sooner , but I to only found out yesterday. This is your mothers brother, Eric Evans. He will be filling Hagrids position" There was a shocked silence. And then finally someone spoke,
"What do mean it's his boody mothers brother! That would mean he's Harry' s Uncle." Hermione had decided to come and investigate.
"We are well aware that he is Harry's Uncle. Now Miss Granger would you please return to the Great Hall and take your seat. We will follow you r shortly."
" I most certainly will not. I am Harry's friend and have every right to be. I will only leave if Harry himself tells me to." Hermione was getting really annoyed with the headmistress.
"She may stay Professor, we are getting ready to leave anyways." Harry was to stunned and angry to say anything else.
"But Harry..." Erik was stunned, he thought that Harry would be thrilled to see him.
"DON"T YOU EVEN SPEAK TO ME! YOU ABANDONED ME WHEN I WAS LITTLE AND LEFT ME TO LIVE WITH THE DURSLEY'S! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT KIND OF HELL HOLE THAT PLACE WAS? OH I FORGOT YOU WERE NEVER AROUND TO FIND OUT!" Harry was livid. He could not believe that this guy had the guts to return seventeen years later, and even after the battle with Voldemort.
"Harry please calm down and let me explain myself." Erik could not believe that his nephew was acting this way.
"No. And besides that we have a feast to go to." With that, Harry and Hermione got up and returned to the Great Hall.
"Well that went well, wouldn't you say Minerva?" Erik did not really know how to respond to all of this. He had never had a family to care about before, other that Lily.
"Can you really blame him for being angry Erik? Now I have a feast to begin, if you'll excuse me." To be truthful Minerva was a little upset with Erik as well. But not for all the same reasons as harry was.
As Mcgonagol stood up the room became silent. "We will now begin he sorting." She placed the sorting hat on the chair, and it began:
"Even though Voldemort is gone,
His Followers, the Death Eaters,
Still remain.
The Battle may seem over,
But as they say in fairy tales,
The End is only the begining.
In this time of battle,
The sly Slytherines and the Brave Gryffindors
Must stick together.
And now that my song is almost over,
I have just one more thing to say.
Look to the Rose, Harry Potter, during troubled times
And in it you will find The Great Power."
"And now to introduce our new student and to begin the sorting. Arianna Halliwell Lupin!" Arianna got up and slowly walked towards the hat, trying to act oblivious to all of the whispering that was going on in the Great Hall. As she put on the hat she could not stop thinking about the night her mother was killed.
"Piper take Arianna to the attic now! Wyatt will help protect you , Chris will help me hold him off." (A.N: When Wyatt was six and Chris was three, they had an accident with an aging potion, Piper blamed the accident on Remus at the time because he was babysitting them, Wyatt is now twenty-one and Chris is Eighteen. Chris can astro-project and freeze time, Wyatt can orb, blink, freeze, and blow things up.) "I'm not leaving you Phoebe, Arianna needs a mother more than and Aunt!"
"But Wyatt and Chris need you more Piper, the future depends on them! Go now!" Andy, who's ghost was in Leo's body, orbed into the room.
"Hello, Phoebe. You helped Prue kill me, now you and your family will pay the Ultimate Price." Suddenly there was a flash of green light and then nothingness.
Arianna was jerked back to reality as the sorting hat shouted "Gryffindor!" As Arianna made her way to the table only one person notice her trembling and her hair flash an emerald green.
A.N: Well I hope you liked the second chapter, and the person who can guess who was watching Arianna, and what Arianna's powers are, gets a special insight into my story. Also look for my new story: As Black As Knight. No I did not misspell Knight. Well read to find out more.
