sorry this chapter is really long, i promise they wont usually be like this, dumbledore just talks a lot sometimes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lee was busy telling us a story about running into Hagrid at Diagon Alley. "He was GIANT, like huge." He put his arms out, showing the largeness of his stomach. "AND HIS BEARD, it was very long. I'm not kidding you, the man had a lot of hair!"

"AND he was tall, like TALL, TALL," his mouth was full with chocolate, he was stuffing more in as he talked.

And once again, the door was slammed open.

"Sorry to bother you guys, but a boy named Neville has lost his toad," a pretty girl, with dark skin and brown hair was standing at the opening to our booth. "I think its name was like, Tumor, or something? Have you seen it?"

"No, sorry," Estella said.

The girl eyed the candy. "Do you mind if i stay here for a little, I'm kinda getting bored of searching."

"Yea.. sure I guess," Estella looked to each of the boys for approval and they nodded.

"My names Angelina Johnson," she said, she moved one of the empty candy boxes and sat in its place.

Each of them shook hands, telling her their names.

"Can you pass a chocolate frog?" she said.

"Yea here," Fred picked up the chocolate frog sitting next to him and handed it to her. Angelina opened the box and grabbed the frog before it could jump away.

"Who'd ya get?" George asked.

"Oh no one too amazing," she showed us the card. "Just Bridget Wenlock, I've already got her card anyways."

"I don't. can I have her?" Lee asked, Angelina nodded and he took the card.

After about 30 minutes of talking, laughing, and shoving candy into our mouthes, only a few licorice wands and jelly slugs remained. Wrappers were scattered everywhere, all of them wiping the leftover chocolate off of their mouths.

"Well I should probably get back now, they are probably wondering where I've gone," Angelina got up, but before she left she turned around, "I might stop by again later, you know, before we get there." She waved goodbye and left the four of them.

Hogwarts was bustling with kids as usual, everyone dressed in their house robes. The sorting ceremony had just ended and everyone was filling their stomachs with the delicious feast.

Estella looked over to Ron, he was like a younger brother to her, whom was stuffing his mouth with chicken. Ron looked over to her and smiled, crumbs of the chicken falling out of his mouth, Estella laughed.

Dumbledore stood and walked over toward the podium. Everyone went silent. He spoke, "Well now that we are all settled in and sorted," he began. "I'd like to make an announcement. This castle will no longer be just your home this year, but it will be home to some very special guests as well."

As he said this, the large doors swung open and Filch ran up to the front.

Dumbledore continued, "You see Hogwarts has been chosen-" Filch got up to the podium and inaudibly whispered something into his ear, the crowd of kids started whispering among themselves. Filch soon ran back out, and dumbledore was able to continue.
