Jack's POV
"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our feast, I would like to say a few words. They are; Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you" Dumbledore says sitting down. The feast appears and we all start putting food on our plates. While I hear Harry asked Percy one of our prefects and Ron's older brother if Dumbledore was mad.
I listened as Harry asked a ghost if he could eat and rolled my eyes. My brother can be dense sometimes. The ghost introduced himself as our house ghost Sir Nicholas. Then Ron was making an issue by saying how Nick was nearly headless. Then Seamus asked how he could be nearly headless and Nick sighed before showing his mostly served that was hanging by a thread of skin. Making me lose my appetite.
The next topic of conversation was people's bleed types; like if they were muggle born, half-blood or pure-blood. Harry and I are half bloods, our father was a pure blood & our mother was muggle born. Hermione was asking Percy about what our classes will be like and Harry was looking at the staff table. When he cringed holding his scar yelping in pain.
"Are you okay Harry?" I ask in concern for my brother as Percy asked if he was okay also.
"It's nothing" he reassures us before asking Percy "Who's that teacher speaking to Professor Quirrell?" I turned and saw it was Severus (Professor Snape) talking to a guy wearing some sort of purple scarf around his head. Percy looked over also before turning back to Harry.
"That's Professor Snape he teaches Potions, but everyone knows it's the dark arts he fancies" Percy stated. I knew this to be true, but I was annoyed of how he made Snape sound like a bad person. Harry then looked at Snape again before he continued eating. The feast was soon over and Dumbledore stood up again.
"I have a few more words to say now that we are all feed and watered. First just a few start of term notices" he began saying. "First years please know that the dark forest is forbidden to all students. A few older students would do best to remember that as well" he states looking at the Weasley twins. "Also Mr Filch has asked me to remind you all not to use magic inside the corridors between classes. Quidditch try outs will be held in the second week of term. Anyone interested in playing for their house please speak to Madam Hooch" he tells us pointing to a witch wearing black and white robes.
"Finally the third floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds. For anyone who does not what to die a most painful death" he finishes. Some people laugh including Harry, but not me I knew Dumbledore was serious. He would never joke about someone dying. "Now before we go off to bed, let us sing the school's song" he announces in a cheery voice. "Pick your favourite tune and off we go" he says as the words appear above him. I began to sing it quietly.
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,Teach us something please,Whether we be old and bald,Or young with scabby knees,Our heads could do with filling,With some interesting stuff,For now they're bare and full of air,Dead flies and bits of fluff,So teach us things worth knowing,Bring back what we've forgot,Just do your best, we'll do the rest,And learn until our brains all rot." Dumbledore conducted the twins last few lines with his wand as they were the last ones singing. They finished and we all clapped.
"Ah, music; a magic beyond all we do here" Dumbledore states happily. "Now bedtime off you trot, prefects please show the first years to your dormitories" he tells us. Percy called us first year Gryffindors before leading us out of the hall. As we were climbing the stair cases we saw a group of floating walking sticks.
When Percy approached them they started to hurtle at him. "Peeves, a poltergeist" he tells us annoyed dodging the walking sticks. "Peeves she yourself" he orders "or do you want me to call the Bloody Baron?" he asks. With a pop a little man appeared floating with crisis-crossed legs holding the sticks in front of us.
"Ohhh! Ickle Firsties! What fun!" he shouts and I just leaned against the wall to watch.
"Go away Peeves or the Baron will hear of this, I mean it" Percy tells him. Peeves blows a raspberry before dropping the walking sticks. Which landed on Neville's head before Peeves zoomed away. "Watch out for Peeves, only the Bloody Baron can control him. He won't even listen to us prefects" Percy tells us before he continued to lead the way to Gryffindor Tower.
We finally reach a painting of a (no offense intended) fat lady and she asked for the password.
"Caput Draconis" Percy tells her and the portrait swings open. When we entered the common room we saw three sets of staircases. One on the left, right and one in the center. Percy told us which one lead to the boy and girl dorms. But as I went to follow Harry and Ron he stopped me. "Jack your room up those stairs, Dumbledore's orders. When you get up there tell the portrait one word and that'll become your password to your room. No one else is allowed in there without your permission" he tells me.
I sigh in annoyance again I was being treated differently because of my secret. Harry and I said our good-nights before going up the separate stair cases. When I reached the top there was a picture of a Lion. "Leo" I say and the portrait swung open for me. My room is huge and I have a round shaped bed. All my stuff was here already including Soren who flew off after seeing I had arrived safely. I changed into my pj's, brushed my teeth and went to sleep on my bed. Hoping tomorrow would be better.
