CHAPTER 2
The excited chattering of students reached the Great Hall as the house tables were full waiting for the sorting ceremony to start. Without wasting any time the new students were sorted into their new houses by the old tatty singing hat which seemed to be in an awfully cheerful mood. At the end of the sorting the headmaster- Albus Dumbledore stood up 'let the feast begin' with that the whole hall was filled with delicious aroma- chicken, pork chops, sausages, buttered peas and potatoes, sautéed onions, cakes and what not.
As the empty plates of food disappeared the headmaster stood again 'now when we all are full and fed I would like to remind you that the Forbidden forest as the name suggests is really forbidden, no student is allowed to use magic in corridors and in case any student is having a familiar other students are requested to please behave and not harm the familiar or other's pets in any way.'
The speciality about familiars was that having them was a very rare thing. Having a bond with that of an animal was rare and very special as only very powerful witches and wizards could use their core magic to bond with their pets. In a way the human and his/her animal could fell and share thoughts and feelings through their bond.
'And last but not the least I would like to introduce Miss Haradah Isodore Peverell as your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.' As soon as the words left his mouth the doors to the great hall opened to reveal a very beautiful but very young professor, along with a snowy white owl with size as double as that of normal owls perched upon her shoulder.
She had hair as dark as night herself tied in an elegant braid reaching her waist, with gorgeous emerald eyes reminding everyone of the killing curse. She walked with poise smiling and waving fondly at the first years. She looked no older than twenty at the very least but yet powerful, stern and respectful. Alluring like the sirens call she had a compose expression on her face. In one word Haradah Isodore Peverell was an enigma. On the other hand the snowy white owl looked all too familiar with the halls of Hogwarts.
All the male students openly gaped and stared at the beautiful woman in front of them while girls looked jealous. Sirius for his own part was whispering in to his friend's ears that he had fallen in love at which James smacked at his head and told him to be quite. Haradah reached the head table where the grandfatherly wizard welcomed her warmly. She thanked him and the students were escorted to their dormitories by the prefects.
In the Gryffindor common room the marauders were huddled on one of the couches 'what do you her age will be mate' Sirius asked no one in particular with a dreamy expression on his face.
'Shut it Padfoot... even if she's young i don't think the idea of shagging a teacher would a good one' James tried to talk some sense into his best friend.
'James is right padfoot, don't even think about it...she's a professor and what if she's a strict one at that. I mean if she's this young and got the post of a teacher means she is highly skilled in the subject'
'Yeah right'... with that the conversation again turned to pranks an lily flower.
In the Slytherin common room the same person had taken up the conversation. Every older student was talking about the new professor and how suddenly out of nowhere a 'PEVERELL' had appeared. The line had been extinct for centuries now, so who exactly was professor Peverell?
Lucius for his own part went to his room and wrote a letter to his father explaining what happened at the feast.
Bellatrix thought of the young professor too... well in truth Bella was actually looking forward to meeting her personally.
