Soon we arrived at Hogwarts and everyone was talking about the upcoming Sorting Ceremony and new DADA teacher (blegh).

As we sat waiting for the first years to be sorted, I noticed that Lockhart wasn't the only new professor at the Head Table, there was another man, who looked like he could be related to Jason Valour...this can't be a coincidence or good for that matter. Finally the Sorting Ceremony began, but it wasn't just first years being sorted, there were older boys and girls also being sorted. Gifteds I assume. As usual I block out the boring Sorting Ceremony, relying on Draco to fill me in on the important details.

It was as I was thinking about the dreaded Wizard/Gifted merge that Draco nudged me. "Hey they're going to sort the older ones now." I started paying attention as soon as they started.

"De Silva, Edward"

My heart stopped for a few seconds. "Shit, shit, shit" I whispered. Draco gave me a confused but curious glance.

"RAVENCLAW"

The teenage boy stood up and went to the Ravenclaw table.

'Please be the only Original, please, please, please no more Gifted Originals' I prayed in my head. "Ang. You alright?" Draco whispered to me. "Later", I said.

Luckily he was the only Gifted Original of the new group, as the rest of them was just normal Gifteds. Normal Gifteds I could handle, it's the Gifted Original that is going to be a problem for me. They. Can't. Know. Who. I. Am. EVER.

As soon as the Sorting was over and everyone was well fed the Headmaster stood up to make his anual speach and announcements.

"Good evening everyone and welcome to a new year at Hogwarts. Now as you know our DADA professor had sadly died at the end of last year-" Dumbledore started.

'Yeah tell them why Dumblebitch, I'm sure everyone would love to be reminded why' I thought sarcastically.

"-that being said I would like to welcome our new DADA professor, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart!" He continued. Lockhart stood up and waved dramatically.

"I also would like to introduce another professor that will be starting this year, Professor Ilian Dascalu Valour; who will be teaching self defense to all who wish to learn." Dumbledore said and Professor Valour nodded his greeting.

'Huh so definitely related to Jason Valour...Uncle maybe?' I thought.

"Now there will be some new adjustments made to the school regarding students. The Ministry of Magic has recently discovered the lost Gifted Accords, which states that any and all Gifteds are allowed to live peacefully with our wizard kind, including having the right to enroll in any wizarding school if they choose so. So in light of this recent discovery, Hogwarts has opened it's doors to all those who wish to learn from us and coexist with us. These self defense classes given by Professor Valour is their way to educate us with their way of life, so tomorrow after lunch all who wishes to know what they are and want to know more, Professor Valour will be happy to explain the basics to any who are willing to listen. Also the Self Defense classes are for 4th and up only. As always Forbidden Forest is out of bounds, no magic outside classes and check Filch's office for a list of banned pranking products. Now of to bed, chop chop."

Whyyyyyy do they have to come now? Can't they wait until I'm done with my revenge plan? Ugh this year just got a lot more complicated.
