I don't own Harry Potter or His Dark Materials. .
Before I start I would just like to say, I have the ending for the story! And if I may say so myself, it's rather good!
Well anywhoo on with the story
oohTHATguy
P.S. there is a funny phrase in this chapter, I hope you use it wisely.
As the students filed into the dungeons to endure the torture that is double potions with Snape. Lyra was actually quite excited. She liked making things. And potions sounded really good. We might be making truth telling potions or love potions. I wonder why everyone looks so glum. Thought Lyra.
The door to the classroom opened and the students that were about to suffer two hours of torture with the hated Snape, or 'The slimy git' as Ron would put it.
"Good morning class, we shall be making a Wit-sharpening potion," Snape flicked his wand and the ingredients and instructions came up on the black board behind him. "Since we have two new students we will be working in two's and three's. Ok then, get started!"
"Aright mate, you can work with us. But your gonna do most of the work since you've never done this before. Soo what do we need?" Ron started reading the ingredients off the board. "We need a scarab beetle, ginger root, armadillo bile, three runespoor eggs and three ounces of dragon's liver. And because of your opened mouthed expression I take you don't know what I'm on about." Ron was getting confused. How could he be in the fourth year and not know what I'm on about. I mean even Neville knows what it mean!
"I'll just get them Ron," said Harry as he walked over to the supple cabinet. Harry got out the things they needed and went back to his table.
"Lyra, I would just like to know, what's the deal with you and Will? I mean like you came to Hogwarts in the middle of the night, and how you started in your forth year?" whispered Hermione as she started to ground the scarab beetle.
"Yeah I want to know as well." Agreed Parvati, but Lyra just shrugged and said maybe later.

After dinner, the students filed out of the great hall. They all had just received a piece of great news. Hogwarts would be holding the triwizard tournament! Shame that only people 16 and over can enter. Thought Will. I could have done it blind folded! But like everything else he wanted, he knew he would not get it. Bad things just started happening after he killed that man. No, I mustn't think about that! He scalded himself mentally for thinking about it. After all, it was an accident, he tripped! Over me! He slapped himself, as he stepped through the portrait hole into the Griffindor common room.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"Holy Fish Nipples!" exclaimed Will as he saw for the first time the awesome sight of the huge Griffindor common room.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThe room burst into laughter when Will said this. No one had expected him to be so surprised at the size of the common room; but then again, everyone was used to it by now.
"Where did that come from?" choked the out of breath Hermione.
"I've got a whole bunch of them. But I was waiting for something like this to use one of them. That one is my favourite!" smiled Will, who couldn't help but join in. After all he had started it all off. He didn't actually mean to say the exclamation so loud, but everyone seemed to like it and laugh. Some of the portraits even, joined in with the chortle.
"Well lets hear the rest!" asked Harry
"Ok then. There is: Blooming wallaby nose hair!
Holy smokes batman.
Jiminy jilicurs.
Great balls of fire!
Oh and there is one where you pretend to lose control and have a nervous breakdown and shout BANANA HAMOCK!" The smile crept back on to his face.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxA fiery redheaded girl from the year below ran up to Lyra with a scroll of parchment in her hand. The girl, Ginny, sister to Ron, handed the parchment to Lyra, and, blushed when Will said hi, ran off.
Lyra's eyes read through the parchment with increasing speed, and lit up when they reached the end. She looked a Will with glee as she gave him the letter.
Dear Ms Belacqua and Mr Parry,
I am happy to inform you of the first lessons for you both, to get you up to speed.
We shall be learning Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration and Flying. Friends from classes might give you random and funny jinxes, hexes and curses, but I must ask you to try and not use these much as they are not allowed inside the building.
We may start your training tonight at 8:00 in my office; the password is sherbet lemon.
Hope to see you soon
Albus Dumbledore
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"So what do you think Pan? I'm going to become a witch! Wait I am a witch, I've got the wand and I've got a familiar, you, I just need to learn the magic!" said Lyra, finally excited that she was going to learn magic. Pan was asleep on her shoulder as a squirrel. "I'll just let you sleep then." She whispered to him.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAs they walked up to the stone gargoyle locking the path up to Dumbledore's office, Lyra couldn't help but be so excited. She had always wanted to be a witch. Ever since she was a little girl. She was wondering if Will had wanted the same thing. Of course not a witch. That'd be dumb.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"Sherbet lemon" said Lyra, thinking it was the two most important words in the world right now. The gargoyle jumped to the side. Lyra stepped back a bit; she was still not used to it.
They climbed the stairs to Dumbledore's office. Will took his hand from his pocket and was just about to knock, when a familiar voice was heard, which said come in.
They entered, to find the office a little bigger than when they last entered.
The old man was sitting at the same desk, only it was further than before. There were two seats in front of him, and he motioned for them to sit down. They did.
"Well here we are, in your first privet lessons. Like I said in the letter, we shall be learning Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration and Flying. Although I will not be teaching you all of these things, they will all be in this office. I want you two to come every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. I want you to try as hard as you can. This is very serious if you wish to continue to your fifth year." He paused to study the pair. A twinkle crept into his eye. "Now before we start, is they're anything, you wish to ask?"
"Well, I want to know if people could talk to animals?" asked Will.
"Yes, Will, there are people who can talk to animals. There are people who can talk to Phoenix's, Snakes, Cats, Birds and Fish. I'm guessing you ask this because you are a Parselmouth?" asked Dumbledore.
"A what?"
"Well Parseltounge is the launguage of snakes and a Parselmouth is someone who can speak it." Stated Dumbledore very matter-of-factly.
"How did you know I was a partingmouth?"
"Parselmouth. And I knew because of your name." He smiled and continued. "I take it, you never knew your farther?"
"Yes, but I was named after my grandfarther William, on my mothers side and my grandfarther Marvolo, on my farthers side. So what has my name got to do with snake lanuguage?" Will was nearly in shock from finding out he could talk to snakes because of his name. Could his mother do it? No, he had a pet snake when he was younger and she was afraid of it. It must have been his farther. His mother never said anything about his farther.
"Well, I used to teack your father. And your mother for that matter. But his name was Tom Marvolo Riddle, I think. There might be another Marvolo, but I don't think there is. And he was a parselmouth. I will tell you more if you want to know about him, but you will have to come back tomorrow, for now, we shall have are lesson."
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxEnd of chapter 3.
So what do you think? I will try and get the next chapter done by Thursday.
