a/n; You GUUUYYYSSSS, I love youuu! :D I'm updating uber-quick cause of the uber-shortness of the last chapter. Sorry about that. Anyway, here's Victoire again :)

four; hunger - Victoire

I sat down in between Teddy and my cousin Roxanne at the Ravenclaw table. Ted's a Hufflepuff, and Roxanne's a Gryffindor, but since I'm the most stubborn and I refuse to move, they come to eat at my table. Teddy was entertaining our section of the table with pig snouts and crossed eyes. I couldn't help but giggle when he adopted a dog's tongue and licked my face.

"Ew! Ted, that's so gross!" I said, laughing and pushing him away from me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Dominique glaring at us, and I stuck my tongue out at her. Who cares if I'm childish? She deserves it. Turning back around, I noticed McGonagall standing up to make her speech. I nudged Ted and nodded towards the Headmistress.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts!" She said, with a slight smile. The Hall fell silent, and every eye was trained on her. Unlike her predecessor, the famous Albus Dumbeldore, most students were scared of her. McGonagall found this quite hilarious.

"Let me introduce our new students!" McGonagall gestured towards the doors, which burst open to reveal a bunch of scared little firsties. Among those, I saw, was a small redhaired girl with glasses, who was the only confident one. Her eyes scanned the tables, and when she found Teddy and I, she waved and grinned.

"Lucy is starting this year?" Roxanne asked, surprised. I knew how she felt. It seemed like it was just yesterday we were teaching her how to fly a broom and eat with silverware, and now she's in Hogwarts. I smiled and nodded, proud of my little cousin.

"It seems like she's still three years old, eh?" Teddy said, slightly awed. Lucy walked towards the Sorting stool with the rest of the little kids, and Neville started calling names out. I hardly paid attention to the Sorting, as my stomach was grumbling loud enough to make an unfamiliar man at the staff table double over with silent laughter.

And then - "Weasley, Lucy."

I craned my neck to see her sit on the stool, looking uncertain for the first time, before the aged hat fell over her eyes. After only five seconds, it reached a desicion.

"Gryffindor!"

Roxanne stood up on the bench and whistled, applauding hard. Teddy and I shared an amused glance while everyone else was either staring at the antics of my cousin, or rolling their eyes for the same reason. Roxanne took very much after both her parents, unlike some Weasleys I know, I thought with a scowl. I was nothing like either of my parents. I had way more in common with Aunt Ginny and Uncle George.

Lucy leaped off the stool and ran to the Gryffindor table, her arms raised in triumph. Fred, Roxanne's brother, was there to congratulate her and swipe her glasses. At least there was one other Weasley who didn't take after their parents.

The list continued, and my stomach grew louder until even McGonagall was smirking. The firsties looked slightly afraid, before someone shouted, "Could you turn that thing off, Weasley?" and everyone turned to look at me.

Instead of blushing and looking at the floor like normal people would, I grinned and shouted back at the Slytherin table, where the voice had come from.

"No, I really can't! See, it annoys you, which means I should probably make it louder! Either that or get some food in there! Speaking of which, when's dinner?" The Hall burst into laughter, and the Headmistress looked torn between being disapproving and laughing along with the students.

Good thing the Sorting was already over, or else I'd have gotten in a lot of trouble. Instead, McGonagall just glared at me with a slight smile, and then stood up to make the announcements for the year.

"Dinner will be soon, Miss Weasley, right after I finish my speech," There was a smattering of chuckles at this. "Now, as a few of you may or may not have noticed, we have both a new teacher and a new student here at Hogwarts this year. Come on out, Miss Eklund."

A girl who I didn't recognise walked slowly out from a door behind the staff table. She had her face down, but I could tell that she was quite pretty, and also very red in the face. My triplet senses are tingling. I looked over at the Gryffindor table to see Louis wave at the girl, and she smiled at him.

Oh ho. What do we have here?

"This, everyone, is Jennifer Eklund. She's a fourth year, and I hope you all will be very nice to her. Miss Eklund, if you will?" McGonagall held out the Sorting Hat, which got placed on her head. I noticed the new teacher smiling at her, and I was struck by how alike they looked. Perhaps he was her father? No, he was far too young. Her brother, more likely.

The hat stayed on her head for over a minute, and the whole Hall could see her trembling with anxiety. Finally, after many loud interruptions from my very hungry stomach, the hat opened it's mouth (or, you know, the part that looks like a mouth) and proclaimed his decision.

"Slytherin!" Only the Slytherins, my brother, and the staff clapped. I scrucinised the girl as she stumbled toward the Slytherin table. It makes sense, I suppose. She doesn't look very brave, or intelligent. But why isn't she in Hufflepuff, then?

"And this!" McGonagall yelled over the buzzing, jolting me into reality. "Is Professor Matthew Eklund, he will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts this year. Make him feel welcome." My triplet senses were tingling again, and I glanced at both my siblings.

They had the exact same expression on their faces. Shock, mingled with recognition and uncomprehension. Turning back to the new Professor, I squinted my eyes and tried to understand why they looked like that.

And then it hit me.

And all three triplets had the same look on our faces.

He was in our family album, in the shots of my third birthday.

The hell?!

a/n; Err, I hope that wasn't too confusing...But it's nice and long! :D
