Chapter 7 - Costly Mistake

"Hermione Granger"

I saw the nervous little witch hurry up the stairs and sit on the stool. The hat was placed on the small head with bushy brown hair as she was adorably looking up with nervousness and excitement. The cap seemed to think for a while and shouted....

"RAVENCLAW"

WHAT?! ISN'T SHE SUPPOSED TO BE IN GRYFFINDOR WITH THE OTHER 2 IDIOTS AND HELP THEM. Is it because of my presence there is a change in the "plot"?? Not that it matters much anyway.

The little girl came running to the ravenclaw table and sat down in the space beside me, she looked at me and grinned showing her large front teeth in full display, which was extremely cute. "Welcome on board Miss Granger" said somebody, which was followed by greetings and introductions by the surrounding seniors and some 1st years too.

After the next name was called they all looked back to the sorting ceremony and Hermione looked at me and asked, "The sorting took longer for you than me, even though the sorting hat was confused for me between gryffindor and ravenclaw. Then it finally asked me to choose, and I said ravenclaw cause I saw you came here."

"Well for me it was struggling between hufflepuff and ravenclaw, i chose raven"

"But why didn't you choose gryffindor, harry is probably gonna go there. Not a problem for me though, I just obtained my daily eye candy that can stick with me throughout all the years"

"Wha- I am an eye candy for you?! You Prat!" she hit my arm with both her small fists that seemed make me feel better than hurt me. Huh... Weird... Anyway back to the zone shape practice.

After the sorting ended. Dumbledore rose up from his seat and walked to the podium.

"Welcome, welcome to Hogwarts! I will not waste our precious time and keep our hungry stomachs waiting and announce a few important details this year everyone should keep in mind" which earned him a few chuckles here and there.

"The forbidden forest, as the name suggests is forbidden to all 1st years and a few seniors"

"Mr Filch has politely reminded that I inform everybody that no magic is to practiced in between classes, on the corridors, and only to practice magic in classes and in your common room."

"And last but not least this year the 3rd floor left corridor is forbidden for those who do not wish to die a painful death. Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"

With some disturbances in the magic at the tables which were to fast to observe, the food for the banquet appeared on the magically enchanted plates and goblets.

Soon the hall was filled with all kinds of emotions and chit chat along with the chinks of the cutlery. Soon the atmosphere slowly died down as the people become more full with the delicious meals filling their stomach which was followed by sleepiness that came from the exhaustion due to a long journey to the school.

Soon the banquet ended and the 1st year ravenclaw students were led by their prefects Penelope Clearwater and Robert Hilliard.

We reached the top of the ravenclaw tower as we had to climb through the spiral staircase, to reach a entrance featuring a bronze knocker in the shape of a eagle that required answering a riddle.

"I have no body but I come alive with wind. What am I?" spoke the voice from the door.

"Sound" replied Penelope. Which was followed by the opening of the door. "That question could have more answers, it does not matter even if it is incorrect, but you must convince it with creative arguments. So knowledge may not be the sole requirement for such riddles make sure to keep that in mind. Is useful more often than you may think." informed the female prefect as we listened intently. Then soon they gave us the introductions and details about the common room and Penelope led the girls to their dorms while we were taken by Robert to the Boys' dormitories.

The view in the common room was amazing and the room was quite airy. It felt really good.

We reached the dorms that had four-poster beds. The four-poster beds covered in sky blue silk eiderdowns had the sound of the wind whistling around the windows, which was very relaxing unless you had a fear of heights, which I do not have. I found my belongings set up near one of the beds. i moved to the bed and flicked my finger subtly controlling magic to move my clothes and put on the pajamas as I plopped down on the bed.

But my spirit in the 4th dimension still being subconsciously active saw the 3 boys with him in his dorms freeze in their tracks staring at me, Micheal Corner was frozen while he was opening his trunk, Terry Boot seemed to have seen a ghost with how he looked while removing his shoes and Anthony Goldstien seemed like his eyes might pop out of their sockets.

"WAS THAT WANDLESS MAGIC??!!!?!"

shouted the 3 of them which surprised me as I realized my mistake. Dammit exhaustion can make the most pro players slip up, not that i am pro at hiding stuff but still. This year is going to be annoying, especially now that Mr. Loud mouth here witnessed stuff. He was none other than Terry.

Annoyed and exhausted I just ignored their nagging and shouts here and there. Sigh... This year is going to be way more troublesome than needed. There goes my low profile down the gutter.
