The Marauder's Era (And Others) React To New Life;Second Chances

Chapter Thirty-Nine

Bianca entered the Great Hall after Tom gave his speech and to her surprise, Dahlia, Orion, Luna, Abraxas, Charlus, Dorea, Gellert, Myrtle, Minerva, and Pomona, were up there.

"They didn't tell anybody," Bianca whined to Crowley, she had been so startled seeing them that she was surprised she looked calm on the outside.

The staff table had extended quite a lot. The hat sung his song and Tom brought out the parchment with the names. He began reading off names and sorting them until, "di Angelo, Bianca", Bianca walked up to the stool and sat down on the stool, "Hello," said the Hat in her head. "Hi," she replied.

Bianca winced remembering what the hat had told her. She wasn't going to abandon her brother, especially knowing they could live and not die because of the prophecy.

"It seems you are also one with old memories but you died to young," Bianca believe it felt her sadness about the situation as it then said, "It was a very Gryffindor move for someone who is definitely not a Gryffindor. You aren't a Slytherin either, or else in that situation somebody else would've died so they wouldn't abandon the one person they are to care for. I know you regret it and I see you and your brother have been talking, but you have to not let that happen again. Alright?" she made a noise of agreement. "Okay now to the Sorting, as I said Gryffindor moves but no signs of Slytherin. I see you like learning and it's your main priority at the moment. Better be RAVENCLAW!" he said the last bit out loud. Bianca made her way to the Ravenclaw table briefly seeing Orion passing Dahlia money behind her.

"Wow, you really are betting on everybody," Lucius spoke up.

"What was Orion betting?" Bianca asked.

"Slytherin or Gryffindor," he replied.

After the sorting, Armando had stood up, "As you can see, the staff table has extended quite a lot. We have added new classes," he announced. The older students had cheered; Bianca thought they got excited seeing the people up there anyway.

"There will also be slight changes in roles in the school. Four people up here are from the bloodlines of our Founders and are the Heads of those Houses will take over as the Head of their Hogwarts House," students clapped, excited, Bianca looked up and saw the Founder's themselves looked quite excited too, "But," the students paused. "There classes will be less in the day, I only want you to take these classes if you may have an interest, so you may be in classes with more than two houses. These will be more of a tutor like class, or depending on the size, one big class," he explained. "But you will see in your common rooms and on their classroom doors, journals that connect to their respective teachers," the new teachers all raised their own journal.

"Now, one last thing before introductions. Once you hit fifth year, and six and seventh years can get extra classes if they want too, your cores will be tested, and you will be put into classes based off the core you have, some may have a mix as everyone's core is unique. I don't want any bullying because of somebody's core. Now, introductions, I will tell you what they teach and what year you can take it," he said. The students were finally looking up towards the staff table in eager excitement. They all had wanted to keep the new classes a secret from the students.

"Okay, let's start with Lady Black, who while at this school will be referred to as Professor Ravenclaw," at the Ravenclaw table, a few students look at Henrik who had the 'I told you so' look on his face, Dahlia stood up, "She will teaching Ancient Runes and how to use them starting with 3rd years.

Orion and Regulus, remembering what Dahlia and Orion said about their Sirius, saw Sirius actually did look interested in Ancient Runes, he wondered why he hadn't taken it. They didn't know it was because James and Sirius were influenced by a certain Headmaster to take classes to be an Auror. James really did want to be one but he had other interests he wanted to pursue, Sirius on the other hand hadn't wanted to be an Auror.
