Hello again! How are we? 716 reviews at last count. I AM SO HAPPY!Hope you like this chapter of Pure. THE WORDS OF UMBRIDGE'S SPEECH ARE DIRECTLY FROM THE FIFTH FILM. NOT MINE.

Azymus watched at Hogwarts approached over the Black Lake. The cold wind whipped around him, so he pulled his cloak round him tighter. He sniggered at the faces of the first years, and how they all believed that magic was the best thing to grace the earth. Right, that's true He thought. He ducked when they entered a cave, and leisurely clambered out of his boat, glaring at any child stupid enough to come near him.

He held his robes out of the muddy path, thinking why can't they keep a path dry and clean? By the time they reached the great doors, he was the only one who had clean robes, and all the young people glared at him when he smirked at them. Mc Gonogall opened the doors, and ushered them in, and Hagrid left for the great hall. She gave them the usual speech about the houses, and while she was speaking, Azymus made patterns in the air with his wand. The elderly teacher didn't see him.

They waited in the small anti-chamber for her to come back. Azymus found the first years ideas on how they were sorted incredibly funny. They ranged from trolls, like Ronald had thought, to having to sing the Hogwarts song backwards. Stupid children. Didn't any of them read Hogwarts; A history? Or are they all illiterate oafs? Some of them are going to be Slytherins! He had to suppress a wince and a shudder. He already knew what house he would be in.

Then, Mc Gonogall came back, and said

" You can go in now".

Azymus strolled forward with the exited kids, but the teacher stopped him.

" You will be called in after the main body of students have been sorted Mr Evanclear. The headmaster will call you in."

So, he had to wait outside the hall, hearing gasps from the kids as they went in without their fifteen year old tormentor.

He slacked against the wall, and then saw, to his amusement, Rima had managed to escape her cage, and was meowing at him. He'd dressed her in a night sky collar that morning, and she looked adorable. He created mice made out of dust for her to play with, but he vanished them, and straightened his robes when he heard the last name called

"Zenith, Olivia" was sorted into Ravenclaw. He could feel the wanting of food in the hall, and when the hat was not put away, he heard the whispers of confusion.

Dumbledore had evidently stood up, and said using a magnified voice

" We have a new student joining the Fifth years. You can come in now" He directed the last comment to the doors.

He took a deep breath, and, using his wand, opened the doors. They opened slightly to wide, and they made a very loud noise, causing many to jump.

He walked in, like he owned the place. He looked straight ahead, and didn't look at anyone in particular, but he could hear gasps of " He's so cute" from the girls, and the boys were quietly groaning at the new competition.

He stopped before the High Table, and nodded at it. Then, Mc Gonogall called out his name, eyes notably widening in shock when she saw it. To her credit, she did not waver when she said it though.

" Evanclear, Azymus". The gasps from every table were easily heard. Evanclear was a famous name, but everyone in there knew that that line had been killed off a few generations past. He walked up to the stool, took the hat out of her hands, and placed it on his own head.

He heard the hat think. It said

" Nice to see you again."

" Same"

" I'm glad to see that you are now free of manipulations, and I can place you where you belong..."

" And that would be..." He thought, questioning the hat.

" It is obvious- SLYTHERIN!" The hat yelled all that out to the hall, and the Slytherin table erupted into cheering- Which astonished the entire hall, as Slytherin never cheered that loudly, and hadn't done so in living memory.

He took the hat off, placed it reverently down on its 3 legged stool, and walked with an air of arrogance towards his new house table. He sat down beside Draco, and smiled at the identical triplet girl Malfoy's who were sitting a small way away. He also could see Astoria sitting with Isabella and another girl called Jennifer Volkner. Daphne was chatting with her friends Tracey and Merissa. he then engaged in a conversation with Theo, Draco and Blaise. Dumbledore gave his usual stupid speech, and then, as he was telling the student body who the new DADA teacher was, the woman he'd indicated, dressed all in pink stood, and began to speak also.

" Thank you Headmaster for those kind words of welcome. And how lovely to see all your bright happy faces smiling up at me. I'm sure we're all going to be very good friends.

The Ministry Of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of vital importance. Although each Headmaster has brought something new to this historical school, progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserves, perfect what can be perfected, and prune practices that ought to be prohibited."

With that, she sat down, and the feast began. The Snakes table was overridden with one question. What side should we take? Azymus put forth the idea of pretended obedience, but that they cause a nightmare for her behind it all, and let her blame it on the Gryffindors. Draco, who was the leader of the House in actual fact, made that the 'Umbridge Policy'. Follow it or die, was the message given out with it. The first years looked quite scared.

And they would be soon.

Hope you liked the latest sector of Pure. And, if you go on Google Translate and type in Azymus, it comes up with PURE, in capital letters. That was for whoever asked about the correct translation.

Ciao, Aerodactyl Fire. It's snowing again, so any flames will be used to clear the driveway!
