Chapter 2: Life at Hogworts
"Ravenclaw!" The hat boomed. Tara got off the stool and walked over to the Ravenclaw House table and sat down next to Faye Lynn. Since she was the last to be sorted a man with a long snow white beard and hair stood up from where he was sitting at the center of the table. "Welcome to new Hogworts students, and to old ones, welcome back, there are some new reminders to first year and to our older students it should be known that the Forbidden Forest is forbidden. This rule applies to everyone." He said as he looked directly at two identical twins with flaming red hair who were trying to stifle their laughter. Tara figured the man who was talking must be Albus Dumbledore, the man who her Uncle Lucius called an old fool. Dumbledore looked like he was the kind of man that had seen to much in his lifetime, to much that he wished he could just forget most of it, but being the type of man he is he couldn't.
The food came appeared and she took a leg and a wing from the pile of chicken and started to talk to Faye. "So are you so totally psyched about being in the same house?" Faye asked, "Um, duh. She said. "We will so rule the school by the end of the year." Faye nodded her head with agreement. Faye was really pretty in a disgustingly obvious way. Her long midnight bluish blackish hair was waist length and was in two frenches braids. She had blue eyes that made you never want to stop looking into them. It was annoying, but Faye had become her best friend, they were like sisters and together they would rule the school.
"Now it's time for you to go off to bed because tomorrow the lessons will start." Dumbledore said. A tall Ravenclaw yelled "First years this way please!" The kid took them up the stairs and to the left. They came across a portrait of a beautiful woman and she said, "Password, please." "Intelligence is the password first years so remember that, it changes from time to time but she'll tell you when." the Ravenclaw said.
Then Tara went to bed thinking of today's events, then thinking about her brother. She had thought about him often this time however was different. She always knew she would see him again, she always thought that was far in the future though, now that she thought about it, three years and she would see him again. Three years wasn't that long compared to eleven years. She fell asleep as she thought about her brother.
In her classes that day she met a bunch or different teachers, including the woman who had been calling the names during the sorting. Her name was Professor McGonagall. She was a stern looking woman who was not to be crossed. Professor Flitwick was a jolly little man. Professor Snape she had met thousands of time before and was on good terms with him, it was during his class that she was called to Professor Dumbledore's office. She was walked by the 5th year that gave her the message he said the password and left her there. Tara was walking up the staircase think why was she being called down. She was nervous, was the man exactly how her godfather described him? She had only met the man once when he had come over to visit the Potters for her third Christmas, and Harry's first.
"Hello, Tara. It has been a long time; I think its time for me and you to talk." Dumbledore said
Another cliffhanger. More next chapter, the in the 4th we will finally get to Harry Potter. Criticism is still approved.
