A/N Hello my dear witches and wizards and Happy December! It's that time again! Update time! Sorry it's been a while but you know how school is. I will update more now that I got this project done, but for now here is chapter 3 and two halves! Read, Review, and Enjoy!
I walked in the great hall in awe. Every year is just the same. I never get tired of this place.
I sat down between the girls and Albus sat across from me.
I noticed Melody smirk and I kicked her on her shin.
Rose on the other side of her laughed until Scorpius sat in front of her. I laughed then. She leaned back and said "Oh shut up Vic"
"Yes my dear kind woman" I said mockingly.
I looked at my plate and I chanced a glance at Albus.
He was staring at me and smirked when I looked at him. "Bloody boys" I muttered.
Albus looked straight at me and started to say "Wha…"
Professor McGonagall interrupted by the sorting of the first years. She really was getting old.
I looked for my brown haired friend and saw her with another brown haired girl. I smiled and she glanced at me and waved.
"Who's your friend?" Albus asked. I turned around to see he looked like he was going to get a slap in the face.
"Her name is Bailey" I said watching Albus relax, obviously pleased about not getting smacked.
"I met her on the train after… I left" I continued going a little red.
Albus was saved from answering by Professor McGonagall saying "HEART, BAILEY"
I watched as my first year friend go sit on that stool and put the familiar sorting hat on her head. She looked nervous and excited all at the same time.
About a minute later that hat said "GRYFFINDOR!"
I cheered and clapped along with the other Gryffindors. Bailey came over and gave me a hug. I chuckled and she said "Thanks Vic"
She went back down to sit with the other first year Gryffindors.
The other kids got sorted and we all welcomed them with a big Hogwarts round of applause.
Everything died down when Professor McGonagall raised her hands. "Welcome new students and welcome back old ones. We would like to tell the first years that the Forbidden Forest is off limits, some of my house could relearn this rule as well."
She glanced at my section of the table. Ok I know what you're thinking; the six of us get in trouble please… Ok we could learn this rule but that's a different story.
"WE LOVE YOU TOO MINNIE!" James called.
Professor McGonagall glared at James and continued.
"This year at Hogwarts there will be a special event, but first I have an announcement. I have decided to go into retirement."
The Gryffindor table burst in a round of No's before Professor McGonagall raised her hand.
"I have taught here for many years, I have even taught some of your grandparents, now enough of my formalities. We are pleased to introduce a new Headmaster who will replace me. I will teach a last year of Transfiguration before I retire. Please give a round of applause to Headmaster Hillsman."
I glanced over Lily's head to see a man I hadn't noticed before.
He had long brown hair, does every headmaster have long hair at this school or is it just me? I noticed he was around 50 years old. He stood up and waved a polite hand before sitting back down.
The applause died down and Professor McGonagall continued once more. "As I was saying a big event will take place at our school. I'm not even sure what it is really. Professor Longbottom says he will give us the information when the time is right."
Neville… I mean Professor Longbottom stood up. "I might as well tell you now some of what is going to happen. This year in Hogwarts to honor our Professor, forgive me headmistress, you were my professor once as well, each of the professors have a special… event planned to say a big thank you. Some other old classmates of mine will be returning too, to show their gratification to Professor McGonagall. I will tell you the morning of the first event about what is going to happen."
Professor Longbottom sat down and Professor McGonagall stood speechless. I glanced around my table. We all were excited. We had heard of the awesome events from Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. I know that I hoped there would be some sort of Quidditch tournament.
"I wonder what the events will be." I said over the hum of all the other people probably asking the same question.
"Who knows? There is no telling with our professors." Scorpius said.
"True" I said back, glancing at the staff table.
Professor McGonagall still stood speechless. The new Headmaster stood and spoke for the first time.
"Well lets all dig in!" he spoke in a clear voice.
We all obliged. Every food imaginable appeared on the tables. I grabbed some chicken and enjoyed all the conversations around me.
Rose, Lily, and Melody kept trying to get me to say what happened on the train but stubborn as I am I refused to tell them anything just yet.
The Headmaster stood once again and said "Now that we are pleasantly plump with that magnificent meal, let's all attire to our beds. Good Night!"
The sound of screeching chairs was heard and Prefects were shouting "First Years! Follow me and Keep up!"
I caught a glimpse of Bailey and her friend running toward Samantha Winchester, a friend of ours and fellow Prefect, excitedly.
I smiled and made my way to the fat lady. Albus and Scorpius were lagging behind talking. Us four girls were skipping and saying hey to our friends in the corridors.
We arrived at the Fat Lady; the password for now is Hippogriff, and entered our awesome common room. I walked over the edge of the painting and ran right into someone, someone who I had not expected to see…
Ever at Hogwarts.
CLIFFHANGER! I know you all must hate me for not updating! I am sooo sorry! I will update again this weekend! I promise on Harry Potter's life! (that is saying something!)
Hope you enjoyed it and it was sorta a filler chapter. Who did Victoria run in to? Well you will figure out soon!
Till next time my dear witches and wizards,
Siriusly luvs Harry Potter
