(Author's Note – Part two is here. I can see suspense is killing people. Anyway, we are a critical point. Everyone now knows who she is. Will this affect her chance at making friends, we'll wait and see. If anyone's interested, I will be posting a new chapter of the horror within sometime this week. As before, I don't own Harry Potter. Enjoy!)
Last time – We have a...
"GRYFFINDOR"
Silence. Just utter silence. Teachers are looking at me wide eyed at me. That Malfoy look shocked. People are whispering "The only child of two death eaters is a Gryffindor." Other were like, "She should be in there with them." I took the hat off and took off to the Gryffindor table. Shaking as hell from the prying eyes, I sat down next to Hermione, who look worried about me.
"Hey, you made it into Gryffindor." Hermione said.
"Yeah, despite my family been in Slytherin. The hat said that all my of family was in Slytherin, expect for one, which he was disowned." I asked. Neville was sorted into Gryffindor but for some reason, he didn't sit next to us.
"Draco Malfoy" The hat had even touch his head "Slytherin"
"Harry Potter" McGonagall said.
"Is that him"
"The Harry Potter"
"Hermione, who is Harry Potter?" I asked
"You don't know who Harry Potter is?" She asked. I just shook my head.
"Harry defeated a man who was as dark as his name. His name was Voldemort. Harry survived his killing curse, but it came with a terrible cost. His parents were killed the same night." She said. My god, poor Harry. He doesn't have any parents, like me. He doesn't deserve the attention. Eventually
"Better be... GRYFFINDOR" The hat shouted. The table rose as one cheering with two identical twins shouting "We got Potter" He said across from me.
"Ron Wealsey" It touched his and shouted "GRYFFINDOR" He took the hat and sat next to Harry. The feast finishes with something Blaise Zanbini being sorted into Slytherin but before he join his house, he chucks me a wicked smile.
"Why did he smile at you? Do he know me?" Ron asked.
"How can I? I never even met him." I answered. Just then, there was a tap of glass that gains our attention.
"May I have your attention, please?" McGonagall asked. A old man stood up from his seat. He must be Dumbledore.
"I have a few announcements to make before you all head to your House dormitories," Professor Dumbledore said. He cleared his throat. "First years should note that the forest in the grounds is forbidden to all students, and I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, our caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used in the corridors, and that the list of banned items can be found posted outside of his office.
"Quidditch trials will begin in the second week of term, and anyone interested in playing should contact their Head of House or Madam Hooch, our flying instructor. And finally, this year the third floor corridor is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a horrible, painful death."
I gulped in fear, seriously death? What kind of school was this? Professor Dumbledore couldn't be serious… right?
"Before we begin eating though, I would like to say a few words. Nitwit! Oddment! Blubber! Tweak!" Dumbledore said. Really? Then my mouth fell open and beside me, I could hear Hermione gasp. The golden dishes in front of them were piled high with an insane amount of food, more than she had ever seen in my entire life. There was roast beef, chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausage, boiled, roast, and mashed potatoes, chips, peas, carrots, gravy, and a whole lot of other stuff that she had never even heard of before, like mint humbugs. I tucked myself into, well pretty much everything that was there.
"You are enjoying yourself, are ya?" Hermione said.
"I'm not. When was the last time you saw something like this." I asked. She falls silent, blushing. I give her a little shove and she returns the favour, now with a smile on her face. Then, a little while later, I heard a quick gasp from Ron. I look at him and I saw a ghost.
"Hello, how are you? Welcome to Gryffindor!" He said. Then, all of a sudden, all of these ghosts came out of nowhere. There was females, males from different eras, you name it.
"Hello, Sir Nick. Have a nice summer?" A boy named Percy asked.
"Horrible, again, my request to join the headless hunt has been declined." Sir Nick said before heading off.
"I know you, you're nearly headless Nick." Ron Spoke up.
"I prefer Sir Nicholas, if you don't mind." He said.
"Nearly headless? How can you nearly headless?" Hermione asked.
"Like this" and just then, he took his head, nearly off, showing some flesh from his body. Every first year was disgusted by the sight.
"You just to ask, did ya?" I told Hermione. Just then the food disappears and all this desserts appeared. There were puddings and ice cream in every flavor imaginable, pies, treacle tarts, éclairs and doughnuts, fruit, jelly…. Oh god, I'm in heaven. After enjoying that delicious dessert, the food disappears, which was sad. Dumbledore stood up, making the whole hall fall silent.
"Now, before we send you off to bed, we will now sing the school song." He said. School song? Judging by the smiles on the teacher's faces, that's not good. "Now, off we go!" and the whole song broke into song.
Hogwarts Hogwarts Hoggy Wortty Hogwarts
Teach us something please-
weather we be old and bald
or young with scabby knees-
Our heads could do with filling
with some interesting stuff
for now there bear and full
of air dead flies and bits of fluff
So teach us things worth knowing
bring back what we forgot
just do your best we'll do the rest
and learn untill our brains all rott
"Ah, music. It always soothes the soul. Now, off to bed." He finishes off
God, that song was awful. Luckily, for us, we can go to bed. We had to follow Percy up to the common room, which I had no idea where it was. We reached the seventh floor, where a portrait of a fat lady was hung.
"Password?" the lady asked.
"Caput Draconis," Percy said.
The portrait swung open, revealing a door behind it. They all scrambled through it, and as I got her first glimpse of the Common Room, my breath left me in an excited whoosh. It was big, and cozy, and there was a fireplace! And lots of couches and squashy armchairs!
"To the left is the boys' dorm, to the right, the girls' dorm," Percy said, pointing to two sets of stairs. "Some things I should mention before you head up to your dorms; make sure you remember the password, as it changes biweekly, and do not tell anyone it that's not in Gryffindor. Your trunks have already been brought up as well. Curfew is at ten; make sure you're in the Common Room by then or you'll get a detention." He paused. "That's about it, go ahead and go to your dorms now."
We went up to the girls dormitory and we enter the room. There were lots of beds with curtains surrounding the beds with Little Bell sleeping soundly on the bed near the window. That's mine. Hermione went for the one next to mine and she started talking to me.
Um, do you want to walk down to class with me tomorrow?" she said.
"Yeah." I said. She smiled and we bid each other good night. Big day, tomorrow.
(Author's Note – There we are, part two is done. Next time, Sophie will have her first day at Hogwarts. Read and review, if you have any questions. Until next time. Kizzard245 out!)
