There was a loud cheer from the Ravenclaw table and some clapping from other tables, You were unsure if it was louder than Harrys, but honestly you didn't care you were just thankful you had took a step and broken part of your familys evil name. You made your way to the table taking the seat opposite of Terry Boot, and sitting next to Padma Patil and a Older student, she introduced her self as Cho Chang and shook your hand as did a few others.

After the cheers died down you noticed a old man stand up that must be Dumbledore the Headmaster. He was beaming at the students, his arms opened wide, as if nothing could have pleased him more than to see them all there. "Welcome," he said. "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words." He literally said a bunch of nonsense that you didnt understand.

"Thank you!" Dumbledore finished

"Hang on did I miss something?" You said looking for an answer

"That's just Dumbledore being Dumbledore, I'm Robert Hilliard Ravenclaw prefect," He said "He's weird but Brilliant." You continued looking at Dumbledore as he noticed you and smiled, He clapped his hands and out of nowhere food filled all of the tables, You were amazed at that you just looked at the food. This was an amazing treat among this food that you noticed. Roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops and lamb chops, steak, boiled potatoes, roast potatoes, and Yorkshire puddings.

All of a sudden you noticed a ghost popping up on each table but the Ravenclaw table "Do we not have a Ghost." You said directing the question at the prefect

"We do, But she is shy and doesn't like the company of other students or The bloody baron, Shes called The Grey Lady or Helena Ravenclaw." He said then pausing for a second. "She isnt as social as the other ghosts, a pitty really." You looked over at the other ghosts, The one on the Gryffindor table pulled its head almost all the way off a disgusting sight "The Bloody Baron just brags about how Slytherin have got the cup six years in a row." Robert said.

"Six years, How?" You asked in disbelief.

"Slytherin are talented at Quidditch and many of them play a dirty game out on the field, We don't have the best team but it isn't bad either, We usually excell in class." He said responding to your question. You returned to feasting on all this food you had been given.

After a while Professor Dumbledore got to his feet again after the food disappeared, The hall fell silent. "Ahern -- just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered. I have a few start-of-term notices to give you. First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils. And a few of our older students would do well to remember that as well." Dumbledore's twinkling eyes flashed in the direction of the Weasley twins.

"I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors. Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact Madam Hooch." You noted that in your memory.

"And finally, I must tell you that this year, the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful ****." What could be possibly on the third-floor in a school to cause a very painful ****. You thought.

Dumbledore then announced to sing the school song something of which you had not heard before so you just listened to the words He also said "Everyone pick their favourite tune" Strange how did that work, It sounded like it was sort of a national anthem but for a school. Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the twins were left singing along to a very slow funeral march. Dumbledore conducted their last few lines with his wand and when they had finished, he was one of those who clapped loudest.

"Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do here! And now, bedtime. Off you trot!" All you thought after that was that your at a school where the headteacher is mad.

What's next?
