I Tricked the Goblet of Fire

Chapter 6

After they had dressed, the train had stopped and arrived at the train station at Hogsmeade. All of them stepped out of the train, without a dirty glare in sight at the small group. They soon heard the familiar cry from Hagrid. 

"Firs years!" he cried. "Firs years over here!" 

Harry looked at Orion. "Hey Orion."  

"Yeah Harry?" he said in reply. 

"Follow me," he said as he got his arm and led him to Hagrid. He approached him and softly pat at his coat, making him look down. 

"Well hello Harry!" greeted Hagrid with a smile and looked at Orion. "Who's yer friend?" 

"Hey Hagrid!" said Harry, then motioned to Orion. "This is my new friend Orion Firethorn, he's new here, just transferred from America, I think he's suppose to go with you." 

Hagrid nodded in understanding and smiled at Orion. "Well, any friends of Harry's a friend of mine, come follow me." 

He pushed Orion towards the first years and led them towards the boats, Harry smirked as he waved at Orion, who was being mobbed by the first years, a glare in his eyes. Harry chuckled before returning back to the small group, who joined in his laughter. 

"Oh poor Orion..." said Blaise, wiping a fake tear from his eyes. "Joined his true calling as a first year." 

"Oh don't tease him Blaise," said Hermione, lightly punching him in the arm. "We had to go through the same thing." 

"Indeed we did Hermione," he said, rubbing his arm. "Your punches are weak..." 

"They may be weak but you best not be at the business side of my wand, given that I am the brightest witch of our year," she said, fiddling with the wand. 

Blaise gulped and paled. "That you are..." 

"COME ON LOVEBIRDS!" cried Harry, making the two blush. "We have a sorting to watch, we might lose a carriage." 

Both nodded and joined the group as they walked towards the carriages and boarded. Harry decided to tease Blaise and Hermione so he made the carriage smaller, forcing Hermione to sit on Blaise's lap, much to both's chagrin. Daphne had no problem sitting on Harry's lap, which made Tracey annoyed. 

"Will you all just leave me a third wheel?" she asked in an annoyed tone. 

"Its alright, Trace," said Harry grinning at her. "You'll find someone, I'm sure of it."

Soon, they arrived at the Great Hall and took their seats at their respective tables. After a few minutes, the first years and Orion walked into the great hall and stopped in front of the sorting hat, which was on its usual place on the stool. As soon as the whispers went silent, the hat began its yearly song but with a twist. 

One thousand years ago, this story starts,

There were four sorcerers with strong and wise hearts Strong Gryffindor from wild moorFair Ravenclaw from Glen Kind Hufflepuff from valley broadShrewd Slytherin from Fen. 
They had a dream to teach all that they knew 
Witches and Wizards from far and it grew
Till a castle stood tall on the floors of a lake 
And a thousand years later, the magic remains. 

But then on the way, something went wrong, 

Some little headmaster forced me to go along

To place them in houses that matched with his plan And the eternal fight between houses slowly began. 
Now there's a war between all the four clans
No one in the houses seem to understand
That these four houses must fight as one 
To win them their victories and get all these done.
