Chapter 7 Whoa!
While in the compartment, Ron and Ginny fell asleep on each other and Ron was drooling on Ginny. She wasn't going to like that when she woke up. Fred and George went to look for their friends. Harry and Hermione were looking out the window watching the scenery fly by. Neither knew that they were both thinking about each other. Hermione was wondering how they would get on the internet to talk to each other. Harry was wondering what they would say. He really wanted to get to know this girl more. He thought that maybe they could become friends or more and she wouldn't care that he was "the-boy-that-lived". Next thing they knew they had arrived and jolted forward for stopping. This woke up Ginny and Ron. They all got up and walked outside.
Before getting in a carriage Ginny noticed that people were laughing at her. She asked one of them why. They explained the drool and quickly left.
"RON! You drooled on me! EWWWWWW!" Ginny screamed in horrid shock.
She ran for the carriage. Immediately jumping in and calling everyone else to get in quick. She really needed Hermione because she knew that she could fix anything.
"Hermione get in here I need your help." She said only sticking her head out.
"I'm coming!" She stepped in, "I know just the spell" Hermione fixed her shirt while they chatted about how stupid Ron was and how stupid he wasn't.
They arrived in the great hall, and took their seats at the Gryffindor table. The whole room was a buzz with people talking to their friends about this year.
"SILENCE" Dumbledore called, "I would like to welcome you back. This year is going to be very exciting. We have decided to put a muggle device in all of the dorm rooms and a few in the library so that you may do research for papers and other things on the internet. You will also be allowed to type some reports in your classes. I trust that you all will enjoy them and not abuse this privilege. Good luck this year and let the sorting begin!" He seemed to be looking at Harry and Hermione the whole time. He had that special twinkle he in his eye that he gets when he is up to something.
McGonagall entered the room with the first years and the sorting hat. Harry and Hermione lept for joy, when Dumbledore said they could use the internet. They both wanted the feast to begin so they could go see if the other person was on.
The sorting Hat sang is song:
Oh
you may not think me pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You
can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For
I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's
nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try
me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You
might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and
chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in
Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are
true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any
means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be
afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though
I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!
Everyone applauded. The First years stood their in aw; for they had never seen the Sorting hat. To Harry and Hermione the song was as long as Ron's appetite. Then McGonagall placed the Hat on to one of the first year's heads. Her name was Marie and the Hat went over her nose. It seemed to engulf her head. But then, quickly said "GRYFFINDOR!"
She smiled and walked over to the table. She took a set next to Hermione.
"Hello I'm Hermione." She introduced herself.
"I'm Marie"
"It's nice to meet you"
"You too"
"If you need any thing, help with homework or Slytherins; I would be happy to help."
"Wow thanks. I'm a muggle-born and I was wondering is you could tell me more about Hogwarts or a good book to read about it."
"Oh course! I'm a muggle-born too. You should read Hogwarts: A History. I have a copy if you would like to borrow it."
"Really? that would be wonderful."
"Yeah the sorting is over! Lets eat and talk some more later."
"ok" She smiled again.
The Feat magically appeared in front of them and everyone filled their plates. Even the girls that were stupid and anorexic couldn't resist the feast. The aroma of chicken, potatoes, pies, Pumpkin juice, and any other kind of food imaginable filled their noses. Everyone ate till they couldn't eat anymore.
Hermione and Harry both dashed out of the great hall and to the Gryffindor Tower when they realized they could leave. Hermione logged on first. And searched for the guy she met. She was getting discouraged when:
Nolongertrappedinmyownhouse signed on.
Nolongertrappedinmyownhouse: Hey Smart! Isn't this great? I was worried that we wouldn't get to talk, and you would forget about me.
Bewitchingly Smart: This is wonderful! I was worried that we wouldn't get to talk either. But, I could never forget the mystery man I met on the Internet.
Nolongertrappedinmyownhouse: Well I wouldn't have forgotten you either. Sorry I had to run off like that on our last chat.
Bewitchingly Smart: It's ok. Do you remember whose turn it was?
Nolongertrappedinmyownhouse: No do you? Oh wait never mind that's probably why you asked.
Bewitchingly Smart: Yeah I don't remember either. Oh well lets just talk. Did the sorting hat seem to go on forever today?
Nolongertrappedinmyownhouse: Totally! It was like it was extra slow on purpose or some thing. But, I love the feast! Yum Yum!
Bewitchingly Smart: I know! Those house elves sure can cook!
Nolongertrappedinmyownhouse: So what do you think of Harry Potter?
(ok I'm getting tired of writing these names so I'm going to abbreviate) Hermione wondered how to answer this question with out telling him that Harry was her best friend and giving away who she was. Then it hit her.
B: Everyone thinks he is high and mighty but I think he is just a good guy. If I met him it would just like meeting any other guy. I would thank him for everything he has done but then move on to something else.
N: Wow Neat.
B: What do you think of Neville?
N: Neville is really good with herbology. He is also very nice. He doesn't snore. So that's a plus. Um… It's kind of funny when he forgets things. I never want to be his partner in Potions. But otherwise I like him.
B: Wow that was a great answer. If you had made fun of him or said something mean. I defiantly wouldn't have like it.
N: My room mates are coming in I should go bye bye
B: Ok bye
Nolongertrapedinmyownhouse had signed off.
Hermione signed off too. She picked up a book and appeared to read. She actually read the same sentence 11 times while thinking about the really nice guy she liked talking to. She wouldn't admit to herself that slowly she was falling for him.
