Hey everyone I'm in high school now and I am swamped I got into honors language arts. I am so happy though we do hove to read Oliver Twist which would have been alright if I hadn't already seen the movie. Apparently I can read the book and then watch the movie but not the other way around it ruins the book for me. Also you guys never answered whether you liked the poem, I CAN"T DO HAGRID ACCENT IT GIVES ME A HEADACH
On to the story!
She got up after the screeching was dun and we had stopped.
"You alright?" I asked. She nodded and we all got up and left the train.
NOW
When we got off the train, we herd a very loud voice yelling above the crowds and noise.
"FIRST YEARS, FIRST YEARS OVER HEAR." The man speaking was very large making him easy to spot. Gale and me looked at each other with raised eyebrows but merely shrugged and followed him along with the other first years. We received more then a few raised eyebrows at our attire but we ignored it.
"You'll be getting your first gimps of Hogwarts now." The large man boomed and indeed as we went around the bend we saw a gorgeous castle sitting in front of an obsidian lake.(For those who are less knowledgeable it just means it's shiny and black) it was a wondrous sight though neither me nor Gale showed it like the others. We continued to head towards the lake were there where dozens of small boats with no oars or motors. 'Must be magic.' I thought.
0More then likely0 came gales voice. He loved telepathy. They both had it and they loved to confuse people with it or plant whispers in there ears but mostly because only they could hear anything said between them Gale too had practiced occumulacy and was almost as proficient as me in out new style. She based hers differently using animalistic demons to defend memory's which she never told me what were which is fine as I did the same to her.
"No more then four to a boat." The man said again.
"Must he speak so loudly?" Gale sighed. I shrugged. We got into one of the boats with a young boy and Neville. Ron was in another boat.
"Hi I'm Blaise Zabine," the tan ebony haired boy said with a smile.
"I…I'm n…Neville lo…Longbottom." The nervous boy said.
"Gale Dark" Gale said simply and rather coldly per usual.
"Harry potter." I said. "You know you have no reason to be so nervous right?"
The two boys' stared mouth's open.
"Well?" I persisted.
"Oh… right it's just what if I'm not magical enough and get sent home most say I'm a near squib." Neville said.
"Neville" I started.
"You have" Gale continued not missing a beat.
"More magic." me
"Then Ron does" Gale
"Which" me
"Seems to" Gale
"Be about" me
"Average." Gale finished.
"R...really how d…do you know?" He asked excitedly stumbling over his words.
"We" I said
"Can," Gale, continued
"See" I said
"Magic" Gale said
"Of course" I said
"But only if" Gale said
We chose to." we finished together.
"How do you talk like that?" Blaise asked.
"Like what." we asked together.
"Finishing each others sentences." he said.
"Ain't telling." we said. The boats then hit shore and we got out and went up to the massive door. The large man pounded on the door three times and the door opened revealing a strict looking teacher in green robes.
"Well follow me." she said sharply. We followed her excitedly and we were just out side another large pair of doors. "I am professor McGonagall the transfiguration professor. There are four houses with equally noble history…" she went on to explain the houses. "Now wait here until I come and get you and I suggest you smarten yourselves up." She said. The others were talking about how they might be sorted.
"My brother said we have to wrestle a troll." someone said. Gale and I snorted. Of course, not they were here to learn so that would be dangerous and stupid. The doors opened again to Professor McGonagall.
"Follow me." She said. We followed her to the room and found it to be what Hogwarts a history said was the great hall. I looked up at the fabled ceiling. 'It would be cool to have that on my trunks roof so I don't come out to a bad situation. I thought to myself.
"Its enchanted to look like the night sky." Came the busy haired girl and I herd Ron groan and pray she wasn't in is house. I felt Snare shift around my chest. I looked up when the hall quieted and found them looking at a hat that he could tell was very magical. It seemed to have a mind
0 it's an intelligent being it has a mind0 Gale said
0 I know I felt it too0 I replied. Therefore, it was no surprise when it started to sing. After the song, they called out names in alphabetical order.
0curse my last name0 Gale said as her name was called.
"Dark Gale" McGonagall said loud and clearly though Gale would have herd if she had just said it normally. I suppose she don't know that though I thought as I suppressed a snicker at Gales comment. Gale walked up calmly hands in her slacks pockets.
"Were is the rest of you uniform?" one of the teachers asked.
"In a garbage dump somewhere. I refuse to wear anything that looks like a dress or skirt." Gale said. It was true our personal robes were made more like trench coats then the dress like design that robes were.
"You have to wear the uniforms." The old man said.
"I don't care. What are you going to do? Expel me? Go ahead I and my friend only came here for curiosity's sake and for new ideas on what to do with magic. We've been doing magic for years." She said coolly. They all gaped and sputtered except Snape since he knew they could do Wandless magic and had no need for going here.
"We'll talk about this later with your friend." The old man said. Gale picked up the hat and placed it on her head connecting our link so I knew what was happening.
(Bold italicized is the hat under lined italics is Harry italics is Gales
My, my isn't this quiet the party
Don't mind me I'm just a friend we are both telepathic and don't you dare tell anyone or I will personally rip you to shreds.
Like wise
I never give out what I see. Now then, you have a very good mind oh but how cunning you are and brave but you could never make it with the Hufflepufs, no, you would make them very nervous indeed.
I am not brave as I have no fear and bravery it the knowledge that something is more important then your fear.
Yeah besides they would probably shun her from what we can tell she wouldn't fit there ideals very well
Like wise with you
Hmm you are right better be…
"Slytherin!" the hat yelled out Gale calmly took the hat off her head and put it on the stool.
"What but… she's a mud blood only people with at least half blood are allowed in Slytherin so how is that possible." it was the blond boy from the shop. Snape glared at him, as did Gale and I.
"She Mr. Malfoy was adopted. We don't know the status of her blood." Professor Snape said. The sorting continued Longbottom and Granger going to Gryffindor and Malfoy to Slytherin. Gale and I wrinkled out noses at this.
"Potter Harry"
I walked smoothly up and put the hat on with a small snicker when they realized I was Gale's friend. I felt Gale trying to open a link and I let her
Yes, that is quiet funny now then straight to work ey
I suppose.
Yes now lets see here you have the same fine mind as your friend and you have true bravery also you have quiet some cunning and a good loyal heart now I doubt you would be comfortable in Hufflepufs or Ravenclaw as you're a little too sarcastic and harsh and your not exactly devoted to learning.
No duh we both know knowledge is important that's why we study though I do love reading considerably more then Harry
Yes, yes you are most correct now then you don't have Slytherin ambition but nor do you have Gryffindor nobleness and most are rather rash were as you analyze things first. Oh and you have Slytherin gift interesting pay no mind to the old man young one because while the gift naturally goes down the Slytherin line you received it from Slytherin whom asexually a very nice man just bitter on the edges.
Slytherin if you don't mind I would rather go there.
Ah yes thank you Dumbledore tried to put a spell on me to make sure you got in Gryffindor but it would fail if you asked for Slytherin which I neglected to tell him of you go young one and beware the chess player and the da.. Evil one pave your own path in…
"Slytherin!" McGonagall dropped her scroll, there was absolute silence except for Gale who started clapping which snapped the Slytherin out of it, and they clapped for him as well as Snape. I nodded to him and sat next to Gale.
"So you were Potter eh Harry welcome to Slytherin you will notice some wizarding families are better than others and all are better then mudbloods and muggle. I can help you there." Draco said pompously.
"Piss off asshole." Gale and I said at the same time flipping Malfoy off. This clearly confused him and angered him. He huffed and sat in silence glaring at us but mostly Gale. He had tried to sit next to his beautiful friend but she elbowed him in the gut and told him that the spot was reserved as well as the one across from us as Zabine had yet to be sorted. We had both taken a liking to him as well as Neville. I turned my attention to the sorting and the next one had caught my interest. The boy had black hair with a blue tint too it, he had blue eyes with red fleck's, he wore black silk pants that clung too his ankles and waist but hung loosely everywhere else and a blue silk shirt.
"Tawashi Rei" (pronounced Ta-wash-e, RE and HE IS MINE I MADE HIM UP YOU NO USE) he wasn't wearing the uniform at all and he walked up as calmly as we did. And put his hat on his head and it eventually called Gryffindor and sat next to Neville who nervously conversed with him but slowly relaxed Tawashi wasn't so much cold but cool, calm and collected. Eventually Blaise was called.
"Zabine Blaise."
He went up there and was shortly turned over to Slytherin. He walked over to us and sat down across from us.
TAWASHI IS MY CHARACTER FROM A STORY CALLED DARK PRIDE AND BLAISE IS A GUY I KNOW I LOOKED IT UP! IT SICKENS ME EVERYTIME I SEE HIM AS A HER.
So what did you all think?
