The Glass of Time - A Hogwarts Story

Pilot

Her eyes twinkled in the darkness. The path lit with candle lights. More Slightly larger ones harmonized above. It was illuminated . It was massive. Suddenly all the students turned towards them . Some gasped, Some growled, Some elated, Some fouled. They walked closely together ,avoiding the stares around them. The new kids . 4 villains , one a prince. Evie, Mal , Carlos , Jay and Beast's son Ben , The words of their parents echoed in their heads" You must be in Slytherin or Don't show your face" The thought shadowed out. Padma watched as these mysterious people sat down ."I heard they had no magical training like muggles" one said at her table.

 " I heard the prince's parents sent theirs to Azkaban for the killing of wizards and muggles" another whispered. "I heard their scheming to-" another continued. She squinted . Rumours were bad news . They might be true but why believe something her twin probably spread. 

She sat with her legs crossed observing each and every one of them . One of them had bluebell hair . She was going to get bullied for that . The others had got dyed hair too except from the boy who's eyes lit up due to the lights or how he was feeling  . His hand was gripped onto the hand of the purple haired girl who looked like she had gone to the nearest pet store and said skim them all .  The air in the hall seemed more thick than normal as though some of the slytherins had all decided to call it a day with their misogny . 

She waited for the assembley to start and be over with . Cho hadn't texted her all summer and when she did , it was either for homework answers for potions or chainmail . She couldn't describe how much she hated chainmail . It was people gaslighting others to do things they are not bothered to . She heard a clap of hands almost dimissing her thoughts . Mcgonagol smiled . It was usual start of year speech to commerate the year , the new teachers and the new prefects .That was going to be her one day .She could see herself in a flattering blue and black robe and gold lining having the pure silver badge placed gracefully on it . She smiled at the though of it . 

"Padma " Anthony whispered her out of her daily day dreaming .  He rested his cheek on his hand . " What?" she blurted . They giggled quitely .

Mcgonagall clapped again starting to realize it was quite inaffective. A few minutes went by with one or two spit wads shot at the group by some of the gryffindor fifth years . The sorting hat was brought up to the the burgandy stool at the fornt of the hall . It's beady eyes opened . "Is it already that time of the year" it scoffed with dust coming out of it's mouth .

Then Mcgonagal whispered something to it. It lost it's breath slightly . "Oh, oh , what was the professor thinking?" he scoffed loudly . The hall broke out into a short period of laughter . She  cleared her throat which meant the humour slowly faded away . Padma's eyes were set on one of their apprehensive faces almost matching to the new first years . The rest looked a bit too confident with their fate . She had read about their treachery around to the point where Penelope wanted to write a section in hogwarts news about them . 

The lights suddenly lost their flicker ever so slighty . "Shut up , the lot of you " the sorting hat boomed at the students . She had never seen it so worked up and she'd been there for 3 years .Hogwarts never had less going on , it was hard for her at first to get her head around the idea of talking hats and she was half wizard . " Evie?" flitwick announced " Evie, grem- ,gremli- ,gremhilde, gremhild "he finally got there . But by then sniggers were already passed like a parcel . The blue haired one rolled her eyes and mocked . It wasn't that bad ... she should have seen how badly some of the teachers pronounce her name . It was Padma patil . Was it that hard, really?

The girl walked up to the chair with platform boots almost dressed in the colours of the union jack but she was astoundingly pretty . She sat on the chair and waved to the gryffindor boys and girls then left a wink for Mike sat on the table next to them . She definetely had an ego bigger than the length of her boots . She saw the hat shudder . Shudder . " Cunning , confident , model of a million ". She put her lips together and leaned back . "However , there is a side yet to be discovered , of mutual respect , of tranquility , of fabrics and smarts ". Then it sighs . " I wonder why I chose this job when godric offered it to me , do not guess my age " it complained with a lift of eyebrows . Mcgonagall crossed her arms . " Fine , fine , ravenclaw" he huffed . The girl widened her eyes . " Excuse me ?" she answered abruptly . 

" You really need a big announcement ,don't you , gremhild ; so did your mother . RAVENCLAW"it snapped . She looked up at the hat who was looking away . Now , everyone was staring as she sat still on the chair . " Listen there's been a mistake I can't be in ravenclaw , I'm a slytherin " the girl whisper shouted realizing it was not that quiet . She clenched her teeth together . Padma observed her face turning slightly red . She looked like she was going to be the next Violet Beauregarde . " No. you listen missy , I've sorted you so get the hell off my skin "he hissed . 

" You don't have skin , you're a hat !" she shrieked flinging it onto the the stool .  Everyone gasped . Padma felt sorry for the unfortunate girls in her house who had to share a room with her . She would just try to avoid the new girl's presence and hope she doesn't talk to her . She put her lips together and began walking towards . Padma quixkly looked at the seats next to her to see them full . She quietly in relief . The new girl sat a seat away from her ,next to Mike where she slumped continously pouting looking genuinely upset. 

Her friends one by one gave her looks as they got up onto the stage and sat in her place . One with white hair she observed , looked awfully nervous and kind of shook his head when hufflpuff was called as though he was expecting it .He looked like the odd of one out . He sat next to that one boy in her Defence against the dark arts class who seemed to beat her in every test and always left a little smirk to annoy her . He knew she was mad about it . She was not bothered to learn his name . The white haired boy buried his head in his arms as he stumbled onto his chair . The purple haired one rolled her eyes and shrugged as he did this . She slightly jumped when her name was called . The sorting hat made it's decision with just a brush of her hair . She did not grin as it exclaimed slytherin but simply sat down like a blank piece of paper.  Lastly , there was a boy who looked like he was going to quidditch tryouts as he got up on stage . His ego dropped just like his fixed grin as he was put in Gryfinndor . Judging solely by his expression , he was the most dissappointed . His face was worse than her looking at her quidditch tracking . He pulled himself up and walked down the steps next to her twin on the Gryfinddor tables next to her twin , Parvati . He kept glancing at her and she spotted her shift slightly in her seat and sigh .

Padma tried to avoid the fact the girl a seat away from her's eyes were damp like she was going to burst out crying in a minute . Mike turned his back to her and faced Padma and Anthony . " So." he tried to blurt something out . 

"How was your trip to paris ? Was it all baguettes and people in black?" Anthony asked . She didn't think he understood there was more to Paris than just what is the first thing people think of . She had no opinion really since she had never been but wanted to go dearly . Mike chuckled lightly . "All I'm going to say , do not attempt to speak french in front of a french person" he sighed almost as though he had gone through some strenuous difficulty there . In Paris . The city of love . She heard the girl audibly scoff . " This is all so stupid " .Padma held in her snort quickly . She didn't know why she found it slightly amusing that someone with so much attitude could call something stupid . Mike pressed his lips together to kill the silence .

A few uneventful moments later ,an old man emerged from the table. He had a lingering white beard reaching upon his concealed knees. He was wearing a royal purple robe which matched his satin eyes. "Professor Dumbledore "a snowy haired girl whispered to the new girl. He welcomed the everyone back to Hogwarts and uplifted his glass.  After their meal with plenty of aggressive cutting and no words from the new girl's part, the houses were dismissed one by one . 

Padma observed the girl as she began to leave but was stopped by Penelope . She rolled her eyes and tried to shift away . She knew Penelope wasn't having it . She slammed her hand down onto the table . She turned her head slightly and squinted . Probably , wondering what the sorting hat was on that day. " Hey , welcome to ra-" she attempted to say .

" See , the thing is " the new girl paused ." I literally couldn't care less " she uttered staring at Penelope . Padma widened her eyes . " Well , you might want to hear this if you want to find your dorm so you can cry yourself to sleep . Seems like you have no other plans" Penelope replied ina meelow voice looking directly at the purple hair one who was surrounded by the chavs as muggles would all them . The girl crossed her arms scrunching her eyebrows looking the opposite direction . 

Padma concealed her squel . Damn . "I'm Penelope by the way , your prefect : do you want to follow me or should we make a call back to the isle ?" she huffed rolling her eyes . Just like that , not screaming or crying she walked off with Penelope slouching behind her giving her a concerned look as she left .
