Chapter 3 The Awakening

The Great Hall erupted with yells across the room. The Slytherins thought it amusing, they thought themselves safe from this new terror. The Gryffindors were furious, they didn't want to lose any of their rank. The Ravenclaws were analyzing the startling information from all angles, while the Hufflepuffs were, well, terrified of being cut off from the pack. Dumbledore called for attention again and continued speaking.

"The school shall be resorted once over a seven year span. This year fifth through seventh and in three years we shall do the fourth through seventh and then in another four years we shall do the fifth through seventh and so on…. The resorting will take place during your Care of Magical Creatures class instead of reporting to class you will report back here. Hagrid has agreed to spend his class reviewing as to not leave anyone behind in the curriculum. We shall start with the fifth year Gryffindors and Slytherins and so on, up through the seventh years. Every student shall be resorted once during their stay at Hogwarts and any student sorted into a rival house will not be shunned and no hostility is to be shown to any resorted student, is that clear." The Headmaster finished with an edge to his voice. "I believe that is all, you may return to your dinner." He said and the Hall erupted once more.


Harry Potter sat stunned as everyone talked about the announcement.

'This is just perfect," he thought to himself, "wait till everyone finds out that Gryffindor's Golden Boy is really Slytherin's Unfaithful Prince, hey I kinda like that name." Harry thought sarcastically.


Ginny had listened to Dumbledore's announcement gleefully and as soon as he was through she left. She was almost to the fifth floor when a familiar voice stopped her.

"I have a garden filled completely with them, they bloom once and never die. The only one that has a seed is the first to ever bloom, all you need is one seed after that the ground sprouts them when a pure heart cries. In the middle of my garden there is a statue, it is the only other inhabitant of the garden. All you can see is black for a dragon's length…." He watched her with guarded eyes for he had a feeling she knew this somehow. Ginny turned to look at him, he was beautiful, well handsome anyways.

"There is a man in the garden, he sings to her of past lives and destinies. Their time came too soon, they weren't ready, weren't finished. She passed right after him, sealing their work until their awakening. The man cries as he sings, the tears do not touch his perfect face, and as each tear falls a new rose springs from the earth. He is calling her back to him, their time has come again." She finished speaking and looked into his gray-blue eyes.

"I missed you." they said together as memories not their own filled their heads.
