There was a loud cheer from the Slytherin table, you weren't entirely sure if it wasn't louder than Harrys as the other tables didn't really clap, you weren't sure if this was the house for you or that you just felt you wouldn't be able to hang around any of the other Students in different Houses, You made your way to the table taking the seat opposite of Draco and his two friends name Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle You sat next to Blaise Zabini, Marcus Flint introduced himself and shook your hand along with Blaise and Draco.

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

"Mad he is." Said Draco Aggressively. You knew he was trying to assert dominance you have seen it before when the Kingsley one of the Aurors that took care of you showed you what people do to fit in.

"He does that all the time." Said Flint. You continued looking at Dumbledore as he noticed you, 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 a ghost came floating down the table swinging a ghostly rapier "You alright Bloody Barron" Said Flint

"Never Better, Just another year to win the House cup," He Said and the older students nodded "We have got the cup six years in a row, Time to make it seven." He said looking around at the first years and catching your eyes. "We are talented at Quidditch and we all play to win whatever the cost, We are also very intelligent compared to the other house, aint that right." The older students raised there voiced all saying 'YEAH' and started to laugh at the other Houses. You continued to enjoy the food.

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 maybe draco was right.

What's next?
