Chapter 10
Reviews: TwinstarDragon: you're welcome. Those woods were chosen for a couple of reasons, one of which is that it was inspired by another story. Pretty sure i did different cores, though. You sure you're NOT psychic? Here's the next chapter.
Previously:
"Ronald weasley," minerva called out.
A few minutes after ronald sat onto the stool, the hat called out something unexpected.
Now:
"SLYTHERIN!" the hat shouted. The ENTIRE hall was shocked. No weasly had EVER been in slytherin, until today.
None were more shocked, than ronald's brothers, minerva (in sadness for her) and albus dumbledore (internally panicking).
Ron slumped and slowly walked to slytherin table.
After a few minutes, the sorting ended.
Albus stood up.
(the introduction goes the same as HP canon)
"And so, let the feast begin," albus said.
Suddenly, the tables were filled with food.
Everybody dug into the food.
A few minutes after starting to eat, harry asked percy something. "Um~, percy?"
"Yes?" he answered.
"Who's that teacher talking to the one in the turban?" harry asked.
"Professor snape. Head of slytherin. Teaches potions. He's been after quirrel's, the one he's speaking to, job for YEARS," percy said.
"Oh," harry said. "It looks like he doesn't like me," harry said.
"Professor snape doesn't really much of anyone, harry," percy explained.
"Ok," harry said, ignoring the teacher glaring holes into the side of his head in favor of his food.
Suddenly, ghosts started to appear in the great hall, scaring a good number of students, including a student near harry that was getting food, as si nicholas' head suddenly APPEARED from it.
"Hello. How are you? Welcome to gryffindor," sir nicholas greeted the student.
"hello , sir nicholas. How was your summer?" percy asked.
Sir nicholas turned to face him, and answered. "Dismal. Once again, my request to join the headless hunt has been DENIED," sir nicholas said, as he turned and left the table.
Suddenly, a gryffindor newbie said, "i know you, you're nearly-headless nick!"
"I prefer 'sir nicholas,' if you don't mind," sir nicholas retorted.
"Nearly headless?" hermione asked. "How can you be NEARLY headless?" she asked.
"Like this," sir nicholas said, just before he grabbed his left ear, and pulled, showing the watchers just HOW nearly headless he was. "A half inch of muscle and sinew are all that's keeping my head attached," sir nicholas explained to a grossed out hermione.
(Gonna skip the damn song, as it's the same as the book, and i hate it)
As percy led the gryffindor students to the entrance to their tower, percy decided to explain a few things. "The stairs like to change often, so keep that in mind if you need to get somewhere," percy explained, just before they reached a portrait.
"Password?" the painting asked.
"Caput draconis," percy said.
The portrait opened, revealing a doorway, which the students entered.
(explanation is the same as the movie)
We see harry sitting in the window sill, gently petting yuki's feathers.
"I have a feeling that there will be problems in this school, mostly targeting me," harry said.
Yuki tilted her head, as if asking why do you say that?
"It's a feeling i have, yuki. My instincts as a former captain are telling me that i'm right," harry said.
§master, you may be right, but you shouldn't let it bother you§ nyx said.
§i know, nyx. I just can't shake the feeling§ harry responded.
§the feelings that you have simply tell you that something will happen. It doesn't say WHEN it will. Don't worry about it. Stress isn't good in excess§ nyx said.
I agree with your snake familiar, hatchling. Your instincts say that it's soon, but not when Sabakinoryu said. Just deal with it when it comes along, and don't worry about it, until then, sabakinoryu finished.
Thank's sabakinoryu, harry said.
§good night, nyx§ harry said.
§good night, master§ nyx said.
Then harry fell asleep.
First class
We see a class of students from slytherin and gryffindor. All first years.
On the desk was a cat that seemed to be WATCHING them.
The class was already underway for at least 20 minutes, when the doors opened, showing a red headed slytherin.
"Whew, FINALLY made it. I can imagine old mcgonagall's face should she see that i was late," ron said.
Just then, the cat leaped off the desk, and turned into their teacher, as she walked to ronald.
Ron was dumbstruck. "That was bloody brilliant," he said in an attempt to not get into trouble for his remarks about her, and the fact that he was REALLY late.
"Thank you for that assessment, mr. weasly. Maybe i should turn you into a pocket watch? That way you MIGHT be on time," minerva asked, while also making a minor joke.
"I got lost," ron lamely gave a weak excuse.
"Then perhaps a map?" minerva retorted. "I trust that you don't need one to find your seat?" she said.
Potions
The door suddenly banged open. "There will be no foolish wand waving, or silly incantations in this class," snape said as he strode to the front. "You are here to learn the exact, subtle and precise art that is known as potion making," snape said. "I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory and how to put a stopper in death," snape explained.
Then he saw two students not even paying attention.
"Then again, some of you must have abilities SO out standing, that they feel the need to NOT. PAY. ATTENTION!" snape practically snarled.
Who were the two students? Harry and Ron.
Harry just didn't care about the introduction (he memorized ALL the textbooks required for the seven years of schooling needed) and ronald was asleep.
"Mr. potter. Our new. celebrity." snape said quietly. "What do i get, if you mix powdered asphodel with an infusion of wormwood?" snape asked.
"Draught of living death," harry said simply.
"Where would i find a bezoar?" snape asked.
"One of three locations. first is an apothecary. Second is your storeroom. Third is the stomach of a goat," harry answered.
"What is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?" snape asked the final question.
"There's no difference, but they also go by 'aconite', harry said.
Snape grit his teeth in frustration, as he wanted to show that the potter brat was just coasting along on his fame.
However, he's not petty enough to just attack him. So, he forcefully woke up the sleeping student, and asked the same questions. The answers that ron gave the teacher were, in order: i don't know, i don't care, and piss off snape.
Snape then gave a sneer. "Just for that, weasley, you earned detention for three weeks," snape said.
All hallows eve
The first years were learning the levitation charm. Harry and hermione were the first ones to get it. However, when she tried to help ron, as he was struggling, ron snapped that he didn't need help from a know-it-all bookworm. That caused her to run out of the room crying. That caused the ENTIRE gryffindor group, INCLUDING the head of ravenclaw, to GLARE at him. Seeing this, ron wilted.
"Mr. weasley, detention for a month," flitwick said.
The feast
The halloween feast was underway. However, harry had noticed that someone was missing. "Where' hermione?" harry asked.
Neville decided to answer. "I heard from parvati that hermione is in the girls bathroom. Said that she's been there all day, crying," neville said.
Just then, quirrel came bursting into the hall. "TROLL, IN THE DUNGEON! TROLL IN THE DUNGEON" he managed to yell out in a panic, causing the hall to go silent. "Thought you ought to know," he said, before he passed out in a dead faint.
That caused most of the hall to start screaming and panicking, save for the teachers and harry.
"SILENCE!" albus yelled out, causing the hall to go quiet. Once the hall was quiet, he said, "everybody please, don't panic." he then asked, "prefects lead your houses to the dorms. Teachers, follow me to the dungeons," he finished.
As the students were going to their dorms, harry realized that hermione doesn't know about the troll. So, he ran to the girls bathroom.
However, as he was getting close, he noticed a foul stench. But, it didn't bother him, as he smelled FAR worse before he became a captain in his previous life.
Then, he saw the troll. "Fuck, that thing's big. It's bigger than the cero espada in his weakened state," harry said.
After the troll went into the room, there was a girlish scream.
That was when harry realized something: it had walked into the girls bathroom.
When harry charged into the room, he saw the troll advancing on hermione, who was frozen in fear.
So, harry shunpo'd in front of the troll, defending hermione in the process, shocking hermione in the process.
The troll, not happy that someone was getting in the way, decided to SMASH them both.
However, after the troll swung the club, causing hermione to scream, harry caught the club in his bare hand. That stunned hermione and confused the troll.
"You are WEAK," harry insulted the troll. He then DESTROYED the club. Harry then brought out his zanpakuto, drew it, then cut the troll's head off.
After he flicked the blood off his zanpakuto, he sheathed it, then drew it back into his soul.
He then turned to hermione and asked, "are you ok?"
Hermione, unable to speak because of the fear, did the ONLY thing she could: she clung to him like a safety blanket, and cried.
Just then, the teachers came barging in.
