Yay,new chapters.Wohoo!Nifty!Actually I hate this story,and I can't wait to get it over with,sicne compared to it's sequel it just looks so incredibly...incomplete,and idotic.But maybe that's just me.Only about 25 more chapters,then it's finished.Thank god!
Another fun fact:This was originally a H/Hr fic,but I started to dislike the pairing,so I put Tonks in it,as I favor her over any other female character really.However that means,that I have to rewrite the whole story,cutting Hermione out,and Tonks in,which is actually quite unnerving!But I guess that's my own fault.Well,enjoy,now that that's out of the way!
Chapter5:The new student
"That was a real cool thing you did there Gabriel!Tonks I can understand,but why are you on the train?"wondered Ron.
"Thanks!Well, you could say that I have some business to do at Hogwarts!Are you guys all OK?"replied Gabriel.
"Yes.Thanks to you!"said Luna,and the others nodded in agreement.
"What kind of business do you have at Hogwarts?"Hermione asked Gabriel.
"Sorry,can't tell you right now,but you will find out later!"
And so they talked on and on till the train stopped at the Hogsmeade station.Everybody got out of the train and made for a quick dash to the black coaches as it was raining.Harry got out with the others and stepped into the nearest empty coach,closely followed by Ron and Hermione,and Ginny,Neville and Luna.He wondered where Gabriel and Tonks were, so he looked back to the train door, and saw them standing there.He saw that Gabriel held up his wand and swished it in the air.He saw the number 6 appear floating in the air.Harry made an expression, showing that he didn't understand.Gabriel chuckled a bit,then swished his wand again,this time only longer.The word: seats :appeared.And Harry suddenly understood what he had meant.Of course,there were only six seats in the coach,three on each side.He looked back at the train,only to see Gabriel and Tonks had gone,but he could read the following,hovering in red crimson letters in mid air: See you.
Harry didn't wonder any longer of Gabriels whereabouts and just leaned back in his seat,and enjoyed the ride to the castle.He was looking out of the window,and thought for a moment that he had seen something black flash past the coaches,but it was gone as soon as it had came, and Harry thought that it probably had just been his imagination.
A short time later,the coaches arrived at the big front gates of Hogwarts,and Harry,and everybody else got inside the castle and into the great hall.He took his seat at the Gryffindor table with his friends.Prof. McGonagall came into the great hall, carrying a three legged chair and an old hat, being followed by about 25 young children.Harry noticed that Gabriel and Tonks weren't among them.He also noticed that the chair of the DADA teacher was also empty. Suddenly a strange thought came across his Gabriel possibly be their new teacher?No,he scolded himself,that was just ridiculous,the boy was only a little older than him probably.And Tonks couldn't do the job either,because she would pretend to be a student.
The sorting ceremony had begun,and the children were sorted into their houses.The line was getting shorter and shorter,and finally McGonagall called out the last new student(Abbery Wollstrong/Hufflepuff).
Dumbledore rose from his seat,to hold his annual welcoming speech.
"As always,I must remind you that the forbidden forest is not to be walked in.Also our new DADA teacher should arrive shortly for you to welcome!I would like to announce that this year we will also be welcoming two new students amongst us.They will enter into the sixth grade being transferred here from...err...well..yes they was transferred here."Dumbledore said,obviously trying to hide what might have had slipped him mere seconds ago.Harry was excited,he would finally get to know Gabriels last name,and he also knew his business here now.Dumbledore continued:"Please welcome with me Gabriel,and Amy Isaacs!"
Harry was dissapointed,why did no one tell him Gabriels last name.All students in the great hall applauded,but it was only for the sake of being nice.But no one entered the room,and the applause died away.Suddenly everything went pitch black in the great hall.Some of the students screamed.And then there was a big fireball errupting in front of the teachers table.In the dim light that the fireball gave,Harry could see the scared expressions on the students faces.The fireball grew greater and greater,and Harry could see Dumbledore stiffling a laugh.Then,as quick as it had started the fire died away,and it was dark again,then suddenly all the candles begann to light again,those in the back of the hall starting,getting towards the teachers table.Now Harry could clearly see Dumbledore was laughing,and it looked as though McGonagall also had some problems to look strict.Then Harry suddenly realized that something was different.He was sitting at a different table.Actually everyone was sitting on another table!The members of the four houses had been mixed up.Harry started to get up when something in the corner of his eye caught his attention,he looked towards the teacher's table,and saw Gabriel and Tonks standing there with smirks on their faces.Everybody else had gotten up already and started to go to his or her own house table.When all students had sat down again,they also started to notice the boy and girl standing there in front of the staff table.
"How about a speech of yours,Gabriel?Isaacs?"spat a voice,Harry clearly identified as Snapes.
He saw Snape walking towards his place at the teacher's table.He must've ended up at the Gryffindor table.
"Well,sure Snivellus!"Said Gabriel:"As many of you assume I am Gabriel!Some of you,might already know me(He shot glances at Harry,Malfoy,and Snape).I am sorry for mixing you up like that,but I just couldn't resist it!I do have some strange kind of humour.Just like Amy here,who helped me out with that little prank."
At this Tonks came forward and both of them bowed down to the students.
"Come to the point of it,Angel!"sneered Snape,and most of the students looked confused at that comment.
Gabriel in turn looked back at him with a look in his eyes that made Harry shudder.
"Right,back to this.I am honoured to be learning under such great teachers,and an even greater headmaster, but I am immensely honoured with the fact of learning with you great students!"Gabriel finished.
"Same here for me.I really look forward to be getting to learn with all of you,and getting to know you better!"Tonks spoke,glancing at Harry during her last words.
It was silent for a moment.Harry could hear the buzzing of a bee over at the Hufflepuff table,and then the great hall errupted into a loud applause.Only this time it was meant absolutely honestly,for they were all impressed by their abilitys and speeches.Gabriel and Tonks bowed down once again,and afterwards walked towards the sorting hat.Gabriel motioned for Amy to go first,who put on the hat,which hadn't quite touched her head as it shouted out Gryffindor,at which Harrys housetable errupted into loud cheering.Next came Gabriel,who strode towards the hat with a slight smile on his face.
"Oh,it's you again!"the hat said grumpily.
"Yes it is me again,would you do me the favour and sort me into one of the houses?"Gabriel replied.
"Alright.You know the deal,put me on!"
But as soon as Gabriel had reached for the hat and lifted it up,it shouted:"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Oh,well that was quick!"was all Gabriel managed to say,before his words were drowned into the explosion of applause that was occuring at Harrys table.
Chapter6:The enemy within?
There was still a loud uproar at the Gryffindor table as Gabriel settled himself next to Harry,while Tonks chose to sit opposite of him.
"That was quite an amazing show you pulled there!"Ron told them.
"Thanks for those kind words from you Amy and Gabriel,and we do hope to see more of your humour here at Hogwarts!But for now,DIG IN!"Dumbledore exclaimed,and before the eyes of the students the plates began to fill with every food imaginable.
Ron had been just waiting for this point and was now shoveling random things on his plate and gulping down his food as fast as possible.
"Err...you might want to slow down in case you need to breath sometime again?"Gabriel told him,while Tonks,who had been sitting next to Ron,scooted a little away discreetly..
Ron just smiled sheepishly at him and held up his pace of eating.
"So how comes you're going to study here,even though you're working for the order?"wondered Harry.
Gabriel smiled a bit and then said:"I know of your task and destiny,and I am here to help you fulfil it!"
At this Harry was abit taken a back and quickly stared down at his plate.Harry didn't knew what happened,but the next thing he knew was that Gabriel was writhing on the floor,having obviously falling from the bench,and being in pain,but no sound escaped his mouth.He looked around shocked,only to see almost all the Slytherins were up and pointed their wands at him.In the front of them stood Malfoy,who seemed to lead a revenge group for what had happened on the train ride.Other students now noticed this too,and were shouting for help from the teachers. Dumbledore stood up hastily with a look of fear and anger in his eyes,but to Harry it seemed he wasn't afraid that something would happen to Gabriel,but to the Slytherins.
Harry pulled out his wand too.
"STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY!"Dumbledore shouted.
And then Harry could see Gabriels eyes.But now they weren't anymore the colour they used to be,but they seemed to him like they were blazing orange or red.Then,all of a sudden Gabriel stood up and pulled out his wand.The Slytherins still had their wands pointed at him,but now Harry saw pure fear in their eyes.Gabriel swished his wand in the air,and all of the Slytherins were sent flying through the air,hitting the great halls wall.
Dumbledore too had his wand out now,but it was pointed at Gabriel.So did the other teachers.
"He didn't start this!"Harry shouted.
But then he noticed that Gabriel still looked angry,he didn't look like Gabriel anymore.All the students were watching what was going on now.The teachers had made a circle around Gabriel,who just smirked at them,preparing for a new assualt. Then,like at a command,they all shouted STUPEFY in unison, each one of them shooting a red beam at Gabriel.But miracously he still stood his ground.The teachers prepared to do it once again.
"NO!They are going to kill him!"screamed Hermione,who stood besides Harry.
But no one heard her words, for the teachers shouted again STUPEFY MAXIMA in unison.All the spells hit their target,and there was a large cloud of dust as pieces of the floor exploded.When the dust had set,they could see Gabriel's lifeless form laying on the ground.The teachers looked exhausted.
"Is he...dead?"Hermione asked with a hint of fear in her voice.
"All the students are to go to their common rooms immediately!200points from Slytherin for such a foul attack,but I guess you learned your lesson.But remember for the next time that it might not be so harmless what Gabriel does to you!"Dumbledore shouted.
He then went out of the great hall,with Gabriels body floating,behind him.
That evening all the Gryffindors were in the common room.And there was only one subject they all talked about:Gabriel.They talked from where he might come from to what had happened just a mere hour before in the great hall.
"Did you see how he stood up against all those stunning spells from the teachers!He's not normal I say!"Dean exclaimed.
"But he is one of us!And he did seem nice to me!It was only the Slytherins who made him so angry!"said Neville.
"But still,it was the teachers against him,and it looked like he would almost win!"said Seamus.
"Do you think he works for,you-know-who?"Lavender shrieked.
"But Dumbledore would never allow him to be here then!Amy,you seemed to know him!Is he really evil?"asked Parvati.
Tonks,who so far had stayed in the background of all the commotion now looked up,and apparently pondered this question.
"No.He is not evil.He is...simply who he is.He couldn't help himself attacking the Slytherins down in the great hall.And don't start asking me about where he comes from.I can't tell,since I don't know,and have only known him for a short time!"
The rest of the Gryffindors looked unsatisfied with her answers,but gave in,since they saw in her eyes and by her stance that she was telling the truth.
"I'd say we all get to bed now for tommorow we have a regulary school day!"Ron told everybody and slowly the common room begann to empty,until it was just the trio and Tonks left.
"Do you think he is Ok?"Harry asked Ron, Hermione and Tonks.
"I hope so,he was working for the order!"
"Yeah, I really hope he is Ok!"Hermione told the boys.
"Don't worry,he'll be fine.He has been through much worse things."Tonks told them.
"Like what?"Harry inquired.
"That is not for me to tell."
They said goodnight to eachother and went up to their dormitories.In Harry's mind he couldn't think of anything else but the thing Gabriel had last told him:" I know of your task and destiny,and I am here to help you fulfil it!"
Harry couldn't sleep a long time,and it was already past midnight when he finally fell into an uneasy and light sleep.
