Sakura the cherry alchemist: does not own Harry Potter or Avengers.
Ch. 2: Hogwarts first year part 1
The Grangers and the Tonks arrived at Platform 9 3/4 through the portal from Kings Cross, almost immediately upon their arrival Mrs. Tonks spotted a family of red heads and led the group over to them "Molly, it's so good to see you again."
Mrs. Weasley turned and smiled when she saw Mrs. Tonks "Andromeda, it's been awhile." her eyes fell on Hermione and Hermione "And who are these two lovely young ladies?"(1)
"This is my youngest daughter Harmony and her best friend Hermione."
"It's nice to meet you two." Molly smiled "We better get going, the train should be leaving any minute now."
After bidding their parents and families goodbye, Hermione, Harmony, and Tonks climbed onto the train and began walking through the carriages, looking for an empty compartment. The three girls eventually found one only occupied by two girls, one pink cheeked blonde and a brown-eyed red-haired girl.
"Hi," Hermione greeted the two after Tonks departed to find her friends "do you mind if we join you?"
"Of course not." The red-head said "My name is Susan Bones and this is my friend, Hannah Abbot."
Hannah greeted the three newcomers, but then turned her focus on Harmony "How did you get your hair like that?" She asked, gesturing to Harmony's long, pink streaked black hair.
"I have a partial metamorphosis ability," Harmony explained "I can change my hair in any way possible." And just to demonstrate she allowed her hair to grow down to her knees and changed it all pink, then back to normal.
As both Hannah and Susan laughed in delight the door slipped open and a pudgy faced, blonde haired boy entered "Hi...can-can I sit here?"
"It's been awhile, Neville." Susan said
"It has." Neville agreed, he walked nervously into the compartment, but as he did he stumbled, his watch caught onto Harmony's jeans and tore them just enough to give everyone a glance at her prosthetic leg. Susan, Hannah, and Neville gasped in shock.
"What happened to your leg?" Susan asked.
Harmony gulped and looked away, her hair turned a deep dark blue and tears began running down her face. Hermione pulled her friend into a hug as she explained to others "Harmony was adopted by the Tonks when she was four, before that she was abused by her aunt and her family, her uncle ran her over with his car. He and his wife are now in jail."
By the time Hermione had finished speaking, Susan and Hannah were in tears and Neville looked absolutely furious. As the three were struggling to recuperate, the door slid open and Draco Malfoy stepped into the compartments "Hello, Harmony, Hermione," he said, then turned to politely greet the other three. He seemed to notice the tension in the room, but wisely did not comment "Ms. Bones, Ms. Abbot, Mr. Longbottom. Do you mind if I join you?"
Harmony looked at Draco calmly, though there were still tears in her eyes, and nodded.
"So what house do you think guys you'll be in?" Draco asked in an attempt to lighten the somber mood "I'm pretty sure I'll be in either Ravenclaw or Slytherin."
"Ravenclaw, most likely." Harmony said.
"Ravenclaw for me as well." Hermione nodded.
Susan and Hannah exchanged glances "Hufflepuff." they said in unison.
"Gryffindor, I hope" Neville said "But most likely Hufflepuff."
"Chill out, what you yellin' for? Lay back, it's all been done before. And if you(2)" Harmony pulled out her cellphone (3) and looked down at the text flashing across the screen, it was from Tonks.
"You might want to start getting changed now."
Harmony sent a quick thanks to Tonks, then turned to the others "Tonks said we should start getting changed now."
Everyone aside from Hermione were giving the phone weird looks, but quickly shook it off and nodded their agreement. Neville and Draco left the compartment for the loo, while the girls pulled their uniforms from their trunks.
"There's not enough space for all four of us to change at the same time." Harmony said "I'll get changed in the loo."
"Your pant leg is still ripped, I'll go." Hermione said, then left the compartment before Harmony could protest.
Susan closed the blinds to the windows before the three girls turned their backs to each other and quickly changed. Just as everyone finished changing and had settled back down in their compartment, the train pulled to a stop at the Hogsmeade station and they disembarked.
As Harmony and the others gathered in the station, the giant man Hagrid called for the new students "Firs Years! Firs' Years over here!" the First years nervously made their way to his side and looked up at him expectantly "C'mon follow me" he said cheerfully "any more firs' years? Mind your step now! Firs' years follow me!"
Harmony and the other first years followed after Hagrid, a few, slipped and stumbled on the way down the steep, narrow path. It was dark on either side of them because of the thick trees.
"Yeh'll get yer firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec," Hagrid called over his shoulder, "jus' round this bend here."
The narrow path opened onto the edge of a great black lake. Perched atop a high mountain on the other side of the lake, its windows sparkling in the starry night, was a castle with many turrets and towers.
"Oooh," the first years chorused.
"No more'n four to a boat." Hagrid said, pointing to a fleet of boats sitting in the water by the shore. Harmony gulped and looked at the water (4) then got in with Hermione, Neville and Draco.
"Everyone in." shouted Hagrid, who was in a boat by himself "Right then- FORWARD!"
All the little boats started to move forward at once, gliding across the lake, which was smooth as glass. Everyone was silent, too busy taking in the sight of magnificent castle approaching to make banal conversation.
"Heads down!" yelled Hagrid as the first boats reached the cliff, they all bent their heads and the boats carried them through a curtain of ivy that had a wide opening in the cliff face. They were carried along a dark tunnel, which seemed to be taking them right underneath the castle, until they reached a kind of underground harbor, they then clambered out onto rocks and pebbles
Hagrid lead them up a passageway in the rock lamp lighting the way, they came out at last onto smooth, damp grass right in the shadow of the castle.
They walked up a fight of stone step and crowded around a huge, oak front door.
Hagrid turned from the door and asked "Everyone here?" when no one said anything Hagrid raised a gigantic fist and knocked tree times. The door swung open at once, Professor McGonagall, in a emerald-green robes stood there, she looked stern as always and Harmony knew not to not cross her from a few memories of when her father did, she shivered at the thought of it.
"The firs' years, Professor McGonagall" said Hagrid
"Thank you, Hagrid. I will take them from here." Professor McGonagall told him and pulled the door open and let everyone in, the entrance hall was huge. The stone walls were lit with flaming torches, the ceiling as was too high to make out, and a magnificent marble staircase facing them led to the upper floors.
They followed Professor McGonagall across the flagged stoned floor. Harmony and the others could hear the drone of hundreds of voices from a doorway to the right.- the rest of the school must already be here but Professor McGonagall showed the first years into a small, empty chamber off the hall. They crowded in, standing rather closer together then they would usually have done, peering.
"Welcome to Hogwarts." said Professor McGonagall smiling, then continued "The start-of-term banquet will begin soon but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into houses. The Sorting is very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will become your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room."
She stopped before continuing "The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose house points. At the end of year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each or you will credit to whichever house becomes Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school I suggest you all smarten yourselfs up as much as you can while you can while you are waiting.
She then turned towords the door and said to them "I shall return when we are ready for you. Please wait here." she then left the chamber.
After a short wait, Harmony and her group were met by a green haired brown-eyed girl with a strange necklace around her neck(5), and a red hair, freckle faced boy who were discussing the sorting.
"My brothers said it would be some sort of test, I think. " the redheaded boy said "Fred said it hurts a lot, but I think he was joking."
Harmony looked at them and giggle along with Hermione and looked at the and Hermione were discussing the sorting when several people behind them screamed.
"What the..." Harmony turned and gaped along with her friends, as about twenty ghosts streamed through the back wall. Pearly-white and slightly transparent, they glided across the room talking to one anther and hardly glancing at the first years. They seemed to be arguing. What looked like a fat little monk was saying "Forgive and forget, I say, we ought to give him a second chance..."
"My dear Friar, haven't we given Peeves all the chances he deserve? He gives us all a bad name and you know, he's not really a ghost... I say, what are you all doing here?"
A ghost wearing a ruff and tights had suddenly noticed the first years.
Nobody answered but Harmony giggled.
"New students?" said the Fat Friar, smiling around at them. "About to be sorted, I suppose?"
A few people nodded mutely.
"Hope to see you in Hufflepuff!" said the Friar. "My old house, you know."
Just then Professor McGonagall came back into the chamber and said "Move along now The Sorting Ceremony's about to start." and One by one, the ghosts floated away through the opposite wall.
"Now form a line," Professor McGonagall told the first years "and follow me."
Harmony felt her nerves flare up as she slid into line behind Draco who turned and smiled reassuringly at her. Professor McGonagall led them out of the chamber, across the hall, and through a pair of double doors into the Great Hal. It was lit by thousands of thousands of candles that were floating in midair over the four long tables where the rest of the student where sitting. These tables, were laid with glittering golden plates and goblets. At the top of the hall was another long table where the teachers were sitting. Professor McGonagall led the first years to the front of the hall, the hundreds of faces staring at them at them like pale lanterns in the flickering candlelight did nothing to soothe Harmony's nerves. Dotted here and there among the students, the ghosts shone misty silver. Harmony looked over to the Table with the a yellow and black with a badger, and saw Tonks smiling at her and she smiled back. She then looked at the ceiling and saw velvety ceiling dotted with stars and remembers it was bewitched to look like the sky outside. She then looked down again as Professor McGonagall silently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first years. On top of it stool she put a wizard's hat. The hat was patched, frayed, and extremely dirty.
Harmony noticed that everyone was looking at the hat. For a few seconds, there was complete silence. Then the hat twitched. A rip near the brim opened wide like a mouth and the hat began to sing
"Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself of you can find
A smarter hat then me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you aught to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Were dwell the brave at heart,
Set Gryffindor apart;|
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuff are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you're a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind:
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your true friends.
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm the Thinking Cap
The whole hall burst into applause as the hat finished its song. It bowed to each to each of the four house and then became quite again.
Professor McGonagall now stepped forward holding a long roll of parchment.
"When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted," she paused the called out "Abbott, Hannah!"
Harmon watched as Hannah walked over to the stool and sat down and Professor McGonagall put the hat on her head and it said "Hufflepuff!"
The table that Tonks was sitting at cheered and clapped as Hannah sat down at the Hufflepuff table Harmony saw the ghost of the Fat Friar waving merrily at her.
"Bones, Susan!"
"Hufflepuff!" shouted the hat again, and Susan scuttled off to sit next to Hannah.
"Boot Terry!"
"Ravenclaw!"
The table with the blue and bronze banner with a raven on it, clapped this time; several Ravenclaws stood up to shake hands with Terry as he joined them.
Brocklehurst, Mandy" the green haired girl from earlier sat on the stool
"Gryffindor" the table in the far left with the red and gold banner with a lion on it, exploded with cheers.
"Brown, Lavender" was also put into Gryffindor, she got the same reaction as Mandy.
"Bulstrode, Millicent" then became a Slytherin, the table in the far right with the green and silver banner with a snake on it, clapped politely for their new member.
"Finch-Fletghley, Justin"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Finnigan, Seamus!"
"Gryffindor!"
"Granger, Hermione"
"Ravenclaw!" Harmony, Draco, Susan, and Hannah clapped along with the other Ravenclaw.
"Longbottom, Neville" who looked nervous as he walked up to the stool and almost tripped as he did.
"Gryffindor!" Harmony and the others clapped along with the other Gryffindor.
"MacDougal, Morag!"
"Slythrin"
"Malfoy, Draco!" Draco walked up to the to the stool and looked at Harmony with a smile as the hat touched his head
"Ravenclaw!" The hall was quite for a second before the Ravenclaw table applauded as Draco sat next to Hermione.
Moon, Lee!" (7) a boy with Brown hair and blue eyes and another strange necklace around his neck walked up to the stool.
"Gryffindor!"
..."Nott"... "Parkinson"..., then a pair of twin girls, "Patil" and "Patil" ... then "Perks, Sally-Anne"... And then at last
"Potter-Tonks Harmony" A few people gasped or whispered to themselves, as Harmony walked up to the stool.
As soon as the hat was placed on her head she heard a voice in her head say
"Well Ms. Potter-Tonks you are very hard to place you could easily fit into all of the houses, you are a genius if you count hacking into a government agency and haven't got caught yet and managed to get your laptop and cellphone to run magic and your legs, you're also very loyal and hardworking again look at the people you've helped with the prosthetic limbs that you've help create, next we have your ambitious side that your brave side go hand in hand you don't stop when you now your right and don't backdown unless yourself or your friends are in seriously in danger. Where do you think you should be put Ms. Potter-Tonk"
Harmony thought about it for a moment then told the hat in her head "Ravenclaw"
The hat chuckled and then told her "Also, M's Potter-Tonks, I think you should speak to the Headmaster about the night your parents died and what you saw."
Harmony nods and tells the hat "Alright Mr. Hat I well as soon as I can."
The hat chuckles and then said "Alright then better be RAVENCLAW"
End of Ch. 2
Sakura the cherry alchemist: Ok here's the next Ch. I want to thank AnarchicMuse for being my bata.
Auther's note:
(1) The Tonks haven't seen the Weasley's since they adopted Harmony because she was so shy she only talked to them and the Granger's for the first few years
(2) Complicated by Avril Lavigne (I was listening to it when I wrote this part. (I do not own))
(3) She managed to get her laptop hers and the Tonks families phones and a small portable Internet connection to run on magic or a battery depending on the area with a rune from a book Tonks showed her (There was no way she was going to be away for her laptop for more than a few hours at most.)
(4) Her legs are metal so if she fell in she would sink if she fell no matter what spells are on her legs.
(5) I decided since I don't now what half the people look like or names in most of the years, I'll bring in Some of my OCs from other story or more noticeable character from games or anime as ether background character or prefects, this is Emily Harmonia my OC from Black and White Next Gen.
(6) She and the person with the last name Moon will be moved to Gryffindor to take Harmony and Hermione's place in Gryffindor, along with someone going to Slytherin for Draco which is MacDougal even though she's a girl.
(7) I know Moon is a girl but for this story Moon is a boy and Another of my OCs from Black and White Next Gen. Lea
