Soulmates

Chapter Thirty One

After a few minutes, I saw Luna with Harry as I saw that he had a bloody nose, “the Bloody hell happened to you” I asked as they soon turned to face me, “Genny, what are you doing here, I thought you left with Fred and George” Harry said as we walked off the train, “I did, but Aunt Minerva offered me a job here so I decided to take it up and now I’m and assistant pretty much for any teacher that needs help” I told them, “that nice and to answer your question, Malfoy” he said and I winced, “my god, I honestly don’t know why you both hate each other so much besides the two of you pretty much wanting to kill each other every time you look at each other” I said and we laughed a little as we walked to the gate, “so how was your summers you guys” I asked changing the subject after giving Harry a napkin for his nose, “it was rather nice” Luna said softly before Harry spoke up, “it was alright and sorry I made you miss the carriage by the way Luna” he said as we made it to the gate, “that’s alright, it’s like being with a friend” she said “oh well I am your friend Luna” Harry said, “that’s nice” she answered back before Professor Flitwick turned to face us, “about time, I’ve been looking all over for you two, alright names” he asked and Harry looked confuse, “Professor Flitwick, you’ve known me for Five years” he said to him, “no exceptions Potter” Flitwick said before Luna spoke up, “who are those people” she asked pointing at them, “Aurors, for security” he answered before walking away to close the gate until I noticed the two of them looking at something and saw that they were watching Draco with Mr. Filch and Draco argued with him until Snape came up to them and soon saw us watching, “Nice face Potter” he said before walking away with Snape following not far behind, “would you like me to fix it for you, Personally I think you look a bit more, devil may care this way but, it’s up to you” Luna asked taking out her wand, “she’s not wrong, you kinda do” I said before Harry spoke up, “um, well have you ever fixed a nose before” he asked her, “no, but I’ve done several toes and how different are they really” she said to him and he gave me the rag that I gave him for his nose before he spoke up, “ok, ya give it a go” he said and Luna raised her wand, “apiscky” she said and soon heard a snap and I winced a little when Harry groaned in pain from it, “you alright Harry” I asked and he nodded, “ya and how do I look” he asked Luna, “exceptionally ordinary” she answered, “Brilliant” he said before looking at me, “you look fine, minus the blood on your nose” I said as I gave him a clean rag before we soon headed to the Castle and when we did, both Luna and Harry had gone to get changed and I had gone to the Great Hall to see that Aunt Minerva was just finishing up with the Sorting Ceremony and I soon walked up to the High Table and sat next to Aunt Minerva as we talked and ate before Professor Dumbledore had walked up to the podium, “very best of evenings to you all, first off let me introduce the two newest members of our staff, Horace Slughorn. Professor Slughorn, I'm happy to say is agreed to resume is old post as Potions Master” he said as he stood up for s short time before sitting down and Dumbledore spoke up again, “Some of you might have already know her as Miss Genevieve McGonagall, who will be an Assistant to any of the Teacher's or other staff members that might need the extra help” he said and I stood up and everyone, mostly from the Gryffindor table, had clapped and cheered before I sat down again and Dumbledore continued to speak, “meanwhile, the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts will be taken by Professor Snape” he said soon after to hear only a few people including the Slytherin table clapped for him, “as you know each and every one of you was searched upon your arrival here tonight and you have the right to know why, once there was a young man who like you sat in this very Hall, walked this Castle’s corridors, stepped under its roof. He seemed to owe the world a student like any other, his name, Tom Riddle. Today of course he’s known all over the world by another name, which is why as I stand here looking out upon you all here tonight, I’m reminded by a sobering fact everyday, every hour, this very minute perhaps, dark forces attempt to penetrate this Castle’s walls, But in the end their greatest weapon is you. Just something to think about. Now off to bed pip pip” he said to everyone and they all began to get up from where they were sitting and leave the Great Halls and to their Common rooms for the rest of the night.
