The Ghost King Goes to Hogwarts

The Nosy Trio

There was no applause from the Gryffindor table. Everyone was just staring at me. I wanted to shadow travel out of there but I knew that would cause an uproar and most likely make me fail my mission ad get smitten by two angry deities. So I just walked down to the table, trying to maintain my mask of indifference.  

No one moved to make room for me so I just sat on the very end of the table and sulked, my head in my hands, as a scared 3rd year sitting next to me started pushing herself as far away from me as possible.

"Um... yes, well, tuck in?" Bubble-dwarf declared, still staring at me uneasily. 

Then the dishes that were running down the length of the table magically filled to the brim with food. I wasn't too surprised, plus I preferred goblets at camp that could have anything you wanted in them. I personally always had Sunny D, mainly because I liked seeing the angered face that Percy always had when he saw me drinking it. Apparently, Will and him had a fight which ended in Will saying that I wasn't allowed to drink water in front of Percy. But I had already been doing that since Percy always screamed at me "I thought I wasn't your type!" whenever I drank water. Wait, I'm getting off track, stupid ADHD. 

I stared at the food. I wasn't particularly hungry but I knew I probably should eat since I was going to IM Will once dinner was over and he would probably demand to know if I ate or not. Then, if I didn't, he would probably show up in the school a couple minutes later, shoving food in my mouth. But then again I wouldn't be able to sacrifice any food to the gods which was a big no no. 

As I was pondering this, suddenly a bowl full of fire appeared right in front of me I looked up at the staff table and Dumb-old-door just winked at me with a glint in his eye. I then put two slices of roast beef on my plate, and some potatoes. Then I dumped half of the potatoes and the biggest  slice of meat into the fire, and muttered "Hades and Hecate." which caused some weird looks from the people around me.

"He'!! Wayadothaferr!!" Ron shouted at me from down the table, his mouth full of food. Then he swallowed. "That was some perfectly good food!" He said, as though I had personally offended him.

"It's part of my religion." I replied simply. Then put a potato in my mouth. It had been so long since I had last eaten, i didn't know what to make of it. But after that one morsel I was unbelievably full so I didn't eat anything else. 

After the dessert had been cleared away Bumbling Dwarf stood up and began talking. I wasn't listening due to my ADHD, but I did pick up bits and pieces. Like...

"As always, the Forbidden Forest is off limits to all students." (I then claimed that as my get away space if I got home-sick, so I could fight monsters)

Then there was a super dramatic entrance from a guy who looked like he got into a fight with a werewolf (and believe me I know I'm talking about) plus he also had a really weird eye that kept zooming around in his eye socket. Bubble-Door introduced him as Professor Moody (some people started whispering something about him being 'Mad-Eye' Moody) then went on to talk about something called a Triwizard Tournament?

Judging by the reaction of some red-head ("You're JOKING!") I assumed it was important. But at the moment I could't care less, I just wanted to be dismissed to I could go talk to Will. 

Finally, after what seemed like hours, we were dismissed. I followed the rest of my table through the hallways and up a couple flights of stairs- which I could have sworn were moving- to a picture of a fat woman. Someone at the front shouted 

"Balderdash!" At it then it opened. We walked in through the portal into a cozy looking room with red and gold everywhere and a picture of a lion above the fire place. I immediately went up the stairs labeled Girtc Denms, which I then translated into Girls Dorms and went up the stairs until I saw a 4.
