Ok, I was reading over this story, and was like, 'oh my fricking gawd.' Literaty, I was trying not to hid my face in shame from my bad writing skills. Oh, and also, for those of you who read the Magic Clash series (A Soul Reaper of a Twin…The Shinigami and the Parselmouth) my computer got a virus on it, and I don't have access to MY HALF FINISHED chapter, so please be paitient.

Without further ado, I give you the third chapter of Wolf and Phoenix!

(Timeskip to the welcome feast, by the way.)

Everybody's jaw was on the floor as the Sorting Hat had finished its song. I was seated at the Gryffindor table between Harry and George.

"Branched out a bit this year, hasn't it?" said Ron, his eyebrows raised.

"Too right it has," Harry and I responded at the same time. I toned out the rest of their conversation, taking a look around the Great Hall. I had never truly been in it, but had seen glimpses of it.

My thoughts were interrupted my Professor McGonagall, who was ready to read out the first year's names.

"Abercrombie, Euan."

"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Calixen, Acila." A girl with short, blonde hair walked up.

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Gilligen, Kaname." A boy with semi-long black hair walked up.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Gilligen, Hiyori." A girl with black, long hair with blue underneath walked up, extanging glances with what I thought to be her brother.

"GRYFFINDOR!" Hiyori gave a sigh of relief, and join her brother at the Gryffindor table.

"Inoue, Ayame." A girl with slightly forging features, and light brown hair in a bun walked up.

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Shinge, Ichigo."

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Tiller, Shiki."

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

The list went on, until it reached Zeller, Rose, who went to Hufflepuff. I went back to my thoughts, then sighed when they were once again interrupted by Dumbledore.

"To our newcomers, welcome!" said Dumbledore,
"To our old hands-welcome back! There is a time for speech making, and this is not it. Tuck in!"

Hiyori and Kaname Gilligen, who had taking seats across from me, were whispering animatedly, seemingly arguing.

"Um, excuse me," said Hiyori finnaly, "But could you tell us some things about the school, and classes and stuff?"

"Sure," I smiled, "Well, teacher wise…"I pointed at Severus Snape, "See that guy? He teaches Potions, and HATES Gryffindors. He will take points away for anything."

Fred scoffed, "AND he's a greasy git."

I smiled sweetly at Fred, "Freddie…"

"Y-yes?"

I dropped my smile, glaring at him, "Shut up."

"Y-yes m'am."

"Do NOT call me m'am! Makes me sound ooollllddd!" I complained, and Hiyori and Kaname snickered.

"ANYWAYS, Professor McGongall-the strict looking one- teaches Transfiguration. She is strict, but fair, also the head of Gryffindor. Professor Flitwick teaches charms, and is SUPER nice! The other ones I don't really know about…"

Kaname nodded politely, "Thank you. I am sure you know my name, but what is your's?"

"Analise Elementa. You can call me Anna if it's too long."

"Oh Anna…" Fred began.

"Yes, I do believe we will abuse this information-" George picked up.

"Definitely."

My eyes glinted dangerously, "You do, and I will throw you into the shop pink lady up there goes into."

Their eyes widened, and they looked down. I smirked triumphantly.

"Well, now that we are all digesting another magnificent feast, I beg a few moments of your attention for the usual start-of-term notices" said Dumbledore, I groaned, I had barely eaten anything!
"First years ought to know that the forest in the grounds is out of bounds to students- and a few of our older students ought to know by now too." I smirked. "Mr. Filch, the caretaker, has asked me, for what he tells me is the four hundred and sixty-second time, to remind you that all magic in the corridors is forbidden, along with a long list of other things, which can be viewed in detail in his office.

"We have had two changes in staffing this year. We are very pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly-Plank, who will be taking Care of Magical Creatures lessons; we are also delighted to introduce Professor Umbridge, our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher."

There was a round a unenthusiastic applause.

Dumbledore continued, "Tryouts for House Quidditch teams will take place on-"

With my over sensitive hearing, I picked up the tiniest of, 'hem, hem's from the teacher table. No one else understood why Dumbledore had stopped talking. I looked down, not even wanting to see this.

"Thank you, Headmaster," An annoyingly sweet voice sounded, "for those kind words of welcome."

Oh.

My.

God.

You HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!?

"Well, it is lovely to be back at Hogwarts, I must say!" She smiled, revealing VERY pointed teeth. I raised a sub-conscience hand over my mouth. Not even MY teeth were THAT pointed, and I was a WOLF DEMON?! "And to see such happy little faces looking back at me!"

I grimaced. Why. Of. All. The. Stupid. Years. Did. I. HAVE. TO. COME. NOW!

"I am very much looking forward to getting to know all of you, and I'm sure we'll be very good friends!"

I exchanged looks with Hiyori, Kaname, Fred, and George.

"That's likely," We muttered, chorusing. All five of us lapsed into silent fits of laughter, Harry just shaking his head and laughing at us. We didn't pay attention any further, changing between playing random games, staring contest, insulting toad-lady, and plotting pranks. I saw a guy sitting next to Hiyori casting glances my way. He looked like a fifth year, and had semi long black hair. He saw me look at him, and looked down. I shook my
head, and went back to my mindless wandering…

"…perfecting what needs to be perfected, and pruning wherever we find practices that ought to be prohibited." Toad-lady finished her speech, and sat back down. Dumbledore stood back up, and continued his speech. I quite suddenly turned around in my seat, pointing at Hermione.

"You! Smart-booky-person! Translation!" I demanded, earning giggles all around me.

Hermione leaned towards me, "Well, basicly, means the Ministry is interfering at Hogwarts."

I nodded quickly, then grimaced, "Thanks-waaaiiiittt-you actually listened to that?"

Hermione sighed, and I leaned back to my own seat. Hiyori was leaned over to the guy who had glanced my way, whispering to him.

Hermione and Ron soon called the first years, and Hiyori and Fang disappeared with a wave. I chatted with Fred and George about the pranks for this year (most revolved around toad-lady), and when I turned around, Harry was gone. Fred and George took their leave, and I stood up myself.

I got about halfway to the door, when I tripped over some object that skittered away, "Blastmyclumsiness!" I rushed out, before two arms caught me, and lifted me back to my feet.

"Thanks," I muttered, blushing horribly.

"No problem," said the guy behind me, and I turned around. It was the guy who was watching me earlier.

"Analise Elementa." I said with a dip of my head.

"Fang Kuran."

I glanced around, to see the hall almost empty, "We'd better go." Fang nodded, and we hurried through the halls.

I rounded the corner, to see the door about to close. I sprinted ahead, and caught it with my arm.

"What-who is that-oh, it's you. Go ahead," The Fat Lady sighed. I nodded my thanks, and Fang and I went inside.

We said our goodbyes, and I climbed the stairs for the dorm I had to myself, for reasons that should be obvious.

Once I got in my room, I sat at the window, looking at the full moon rising.

This would be an eventful year.

Well, I think I did ok on this one, but I would like my reader's opinion!

Also, those of you who read my Magic Clash series, I have a poll that I would like ya to vote on!

Have a Merry Christma- erm…

Happy Hallowee- no, now that's not it…

Grrr… GOOD WEEKEND TO YOU!
