A/N: I'm sorry I took soooo long to update. I won't give you the cliché excuse of homework (though it's totally true). This one is from different people's POV's (perspectives). I was going to start it out that way, but the story molded itself into 3rd person. Feel free to give suggestions about POV preferences.
Disclaimer: A girl can dream…..but no, I am not J.K. Rowling. Or any characters. Events. Etcetera. Wow. Those were a lot of fragments (or so my spell/grammar check tells me)
Albus Dumbledore POV
No! What was happening? Silence hung in the air, the entire Hall's sole movements jaw-dropping. Harry Potter was meant to be in Gryffindor, I had planned it all out so carefully. Now the Dursleys were worth nothing. Of course, his life was at stake, but the boy was meant to die in the end anyway! He was to be the brave defeater of Voldemort, and a scrawny brainy Ravenclaw was not part of the plan. Sure, knowledge was okay, and the staff generally preferred them, but nobility was key. Where had I gone wrong? The Prophecy obviously foretold someone brave, and though the Longbottoms were a respectable family, from the looks of it their heir wasn't exactly cut out for the job.
Polite, hesitant, clapping ran through the room. All except one. I glared at the buck-toothed, bushy haired girl sitting at the Ravenclaw table. She was whooping with joy and her hands looked strangely humming-bird like. Hmm. I could probably find out from Filius who she was. Harry was meant to be friends with the Weasleys, but obviously things today weren't exactly going according to plan.
Filius Flitwick POV
" Minerva, you owe me a hundred Galleons" I muttered quietly, careful to not let the Headmaster hear. He never did show much expression at these Sortings, but we all could guess what was racing through his mind. After all, Harry Potter was quite an interesting case. Onto more important things….My House! MY House! I seemed to be the only one having hushed cheers, for Sprout looked simply flabbergasted, Minerva similar to Perenelle Flamel with a Stunner to the chest, and Severus…..well, Severus is Severus. Although I did see a twinkle of forgotten laughter in his sharp black eyes. I smiled widely at my future student. I swear, if he's like Lily with Charms….well, what more could a perfectly reasonable wishing teacher like me want? People make fun of me and my House, simply classifying them as nerds, but they won't be saying that when Harry Potter is Head Boy of Ravenclaw. Though I'm no Seer, I highly doubt it.
Ronald Weasley POV
What was happening? All of Gryffindor were openly gaping, and with good reason too. Harry Potter, Ravenclaw loser? This can't be happening! I'm the perfect friend for him, and although she creeps me out when she goes in future Mrs. Potter mode, Ginny'll be devastated! He has a duty to Hogwarts, and England, and the world. But more importantly, he has a duty to me. Everyone knows my family is an old pureblood line, and extremely Light. We're all Gryffindors, and have in the past fought You-Know-Who with all our courage and strength. So how come he's stuck with them? Extremely unfair.
Fate POV
Finally. Harry Potter was doing some right in the world. Old Dumby-Bore can't mess with me this time. No one messes with Fate twice. Who does he think he is, running around with his big 'ole crow feet, meddling for 'the greater good'? I know what's best for all these ignorant little humans, and nobody, and I mean nobody questions me. If done, I always have my cousin, one who's grown up in a far more evil part of town….
A/N: Just so you know, I hate Dumbledore and Ron personally annoys me. The other Weasleys are fine, especially Arthur and the twins. Pretty please review. This wasn't longer than the last, sorry, but look at first A/N for the reason why. I am totally open to ideas for different perspectives. Next one won't have as many different POV's, though I am continuing with first person. Thanks for reading.
