Chapter 5: Audience with Headmaster Dippet
A/n: I don't own Harry Potter
Grace's/Hermione's POV:
As soon as Tom Riddle had left, Hermione let out a deep sigh. One big problem all sorted out, well kind of.
"Hear is a fresh Sleeping Potion dear, drink it all" cooed Madame Meadowlark.
Hermione drank the potion and fell into a peaceful sleep.
Hermione woke to Madame Meadowlark shaking her awake.
"Gracelyn, Headmaster Dippet wants to see you! Here are some robes, now quickly get changed" Madam Meadowlark placed the robes on a chair and left Hermione to change.
Hermione dragged herself out of bed and put her new robes on.
Hmm.. The robes don't have a house crest on it, interesting, she thought.
"Come along Grace!" Madame Meadowlark called.
"Coming!" She answered back, after placing a quick Hair Brushing Spell that left her brow hair silky smooth and she ran out of the Hospital Wing.
Madame Meadowlark led Hermione to the entrance stairs to Headmaster Dippet's office.
"Arithmacy" she said, and the Eagle statue let them pass into the Office.
The office looked almost the same, except that Fawkes' stand wasn't there and Professor Dippet sat at the grand desk instead of Dumbledore.
"Hello, please take a seat. Thank you Jenna, you can go back to the Hospital Wing." Dippet said.
Madame Meadowlark smiled and left Hermione alone with the Headmaster.
" I am deeply sorry for what happened concerning you parents Ms. Colombe." He said.
Hermione nodded and teared up a little; Bellatrix had killed her parent not too long ago.
" How did you get past the school's boundary line may I ask?" Professor Dippet questioned.
"Well, I'm not exactly sure Professor. Grinwald attacked my family with no warning. We had expected that he would attack soon though, so my mother handed me all my forms and documents and told me to tell you what had happened. The next thing I knew, I was waking up at the Hospital Wing." she answered.
Headmaster Dippet nodded and accepted her story.
Thank goodness he has a small brain she thought.
"Well, Professor Dumbledore has explained everything else to me, I guess the only thing now is that we have to get you sorted and get you all your books. What subjects did you take?" the Headmaster asked.
"Well, I took Transfiguration, Arthmicy, Ancient Runes, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Magic History, Herbology, and Astronomy." Hermione answered.
" Really? All of those subjects?" he asked.
" Yes, I also got 11 O. , in DADA I got Exceeds Expectations..." She replied.
"Well Ms. Colombe, I guess Mr. Riddle has competition! Here is the Sorting Hat, try it on!" he exclaimed.
Hermione put the hat on.
Hmmm... a Time Traveller ,eh? the hat said.
How did you know? Hermione asked.
I am the Past, Present, and Future, answered the hat.
Just put me a House, just not Slytherin, She answered.
Well you would of done well in Slytherin, and you have already been in Gryffindor. So where to put you? Hufflepuff is defiantly out so that leaves...
"RAVENCLAW!" the hat shouted.
Professor Dippet clapped his hands, all her books appeared along with new robes with the house colors blue and silver.
"I trust the you have a wand ?" Headmaster Dippet asked.
"Yes Professor." Hermione replied pulling out her wand, only it wasn't.
The wand she was holding was silver with raven feathers carved into the wood, at the base of her wand was two wings that formed a handgrip.
" Come I will have Professor Beery take you up to your dorm. EXPECTO PARTONUM!" shouted the Headmaster.
Soon Professor Beery rushed into the office.
" You called Headmaster?" he asked looking at me.
"Yes, this is your new student, Gracelyn Colombe. Good luck!"
Professor Beery gave Hermione a small wave and said "Well come on now, let's meet your new dorm members, shall we?" he asked.
"Yes please Professor," said Hermione, and they left the Headmaster's office.
