The Eight Part Soul

Which House?

"Get on the bus," Tonks said to the group as we went away from the Order and off to Hogwarts. I was surprised when a bus suddenly jerked out of nowhere on the front lawn after Tonks just waved her wand up in the air. Like a beacon.

I climbed on board, simply glad to get off to Hogwarts and start the plan in motion.

All we need is one person to Gryffindor, and all it would take has to be one night.

Please, otherwise I have to resort to some Plan B.

And I don't want to, because it involves Leo and pranks. Add Fred and George, and I totally doubt Hogwarts would be able to come out alive.

I was sitting with my friends, jerking and almost losing balance here and there while the furniture around the bus like tables and chairs topple as such.

And here I thought nothing could top it when I arrived at camp as we crash landed Apollo's bus but this bus was even more jerky than Apollo's bus when Thalia drove it. Maybe buses hate me or something, but at least Apollo's bus gave me practice for this.

So I felt less winded about that bus ride than others but nonetheless glad when we arrived at Hogwarts.

And now for the moment of truth.

It was a new term at Hogwarts and everyone was back at their seats, awaiting for a feast. Everyone was surprised to see me, and when I sat at the Slytherin table along with Daphne, Blaise and Michael, they looked at me with shell shocked silence until Blaise broke it.

"And here we thought you left for space on a metal dragon never to be seen again," he said with a smile on his face.

"Sorry for never saying goodbye properly, but the whole thing was just..." I said, before I just shrugged because who has a way to explain all this anyway?

"Ah... then again, we still don't know why you bail Hogwarts like that, on a metal dragon no less," Daphne said, slightly curious.

"Would you believe it that I was enrolled here forcefully?" I asked.

"And you are back anyway?" Michael asked.

"Let's just say that strange things just happen to me every time," I said.

"You are not going to explain anything, are you?" Michael asked and I just shrugged again with a smile.

"Well, how long will you be with us this time?" Daphne asked.

"Who knows?" I said, and this was the real truth.

Everyone was whispering among themselves surprised at my comeback after my escape. But not as surprised when they saw Will, Hazel, Calypso and Leo, the team who rescued me.

"What are they doing here?" Daphne asked.

"Could it be... that you were caught and brought back here?" Blaise asked.

I looked at Blaise for a short while and couldn't help but feel that it was the closest to the truth. So, in a way, yes.

Then, Dumbledore addressed the rest of the school.

"Welcome back to all you students. Today, we have new students joining us this term, so of course they have to be Sorted."

As on cue, Professor McGonagall put the Sorting Hat in front of them.

"Now when I call your names, you will place the hat onto your head and go to the table the Hat calls out," Professor McGonagall started.

"Levesque, Hazel," Professor McGonagall called.
