20 House.

Isaiah Mind

"Who are you?, How did you know my name?" He said, looking at me wearily.

"Me? Im just one of your fans. The fans of the Great Gandalf who created Mind Arts." I said, looking straight into his eyes with a smile.

"How did you know that?" He said, looking confused and shocked.

"Well, my teachers told me." I said, with a cheeky smile.

"Your teachers? Who is it?" He asked, looking weary.

"Well, of course your friends. The one you sacrificed yourself in saving." I said, with a smile.

"Friends? The founders? Don't make me laugh. The founders are dead, how will they teach you if they were dead." He said, looking not believing what Im saying.

"Well, its true, they were my teachers, or more correctly, their spirits." I said with a serious expression.

"Spirits? How? The Resurrection Stone?" He said looking shocked.

"Yes" I said with a cheeky smile.

Gandalf and I talk for some time. The time in my mind is not the same in the outside, but its still moving so I need to tell him what the founders want to tell him before they died.

"Sir Gandalf, the founders found a way to make you a living body to possessed with. Its not like possessing like a ghost. You will grow your own body and possess it. The founders said 'this is our last gift for you, thank you for everything'." I said to him with a serious expression.

Sir Gandalf cried and say thanks to me for delivering the message of the founders for him. I promised him that when everything is ready, I will make a body for him to possess finishing the greatest regret of the founders before they died.

I let Sir Gandalf see my memories to let him sort me, I let him choose to where I belong and where I can fulfill my plans without any problems.

Outside of Isaiah's Mind

'Why do you think its taking so long?' Thats what the question of many student looking at the boy sitting on the stool with the sorting hat.

The teachers look concerned too seeing that the hat is not moving and the boy's eyes is close.

Professor McGonagall looks like getting the hat to my head before the hat shouted, "Ravenclaw".

Prof. McGonagall become startled of the sudden shout of the hat before composing her self and removing the hat in my head.

The whole Ravenclaw burst into cheers and applause especially to the pureblood ones.

Professor Flitwick stand to his chair cheering and clapping, happy that I will be in his house.

Professor Pamona became sad because I can't be in her house, she heard the rumours of the Fatum having some extinct plants, so she wants me to her house and asked if its real.

Professor Snape just have the same sneer in his face but still clapping.

The headmaster clapped with his grandfather smile clearly happy about me not in Slytherin.

I look to teachers table and give a small smile and bow. Walking to my house table, my robe change into blue color, the color of ravenclaws.

While walking I received some welcome and handshake from my house. I sit beside Terry Boot in the first year table giving him a smile and a handshake.

The sorting continued just like in the canon. Hermione looks like crestfallen seeing me in the Ravenclaw table while she is in Gryffindor. I look at her and mouthed 'Its okay' with smile and a nod.

My compartment buddies too look at me from the Slytherin table. I look at them and they become flustered looking away clearly embarrassed for not asking my name. Cute.

Harry is also looking at me. I mouthed him like what I said to Hermione. I focus my attention to my house mates. I talked to some higher years and my year mates.

The Ravenclaw get a total of 8 first year this year, 4 girls and 4 boys including me.

They are, Mandy Brocklehurst, Sue Li, Padma Patil and Lisa Turpin to the girls side while me, Terry Boot, Michael Corner, and Anthony Goldstein are in the boys side.

I talked to them mostly them asking about my family and the classes. Typical Claws. My musing stopped when the Headmaster stand to his sit and open his arms with pleased expression.

"Welcome," he said. "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts!"Everyone clapped. "Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words.

And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" and the foods appeared. "Thank you" then sat down to his chair.

The foods that appeared are all kinds of meat, Roast pig, chicken and beef. It also have pork chops, sausage, bacons and steak. There also have mash potatoes and boiled potatoes. For the drinks there is only a pumpkin juice. Ugh I will not try that one.

I get some roast chicken and some pork chops with mash potatoes and pretend to get pumpkin juice but I already change it with some orange juice.

As everyone is talking, suddenly all the ghost appeared and fly everywhere. I see one ghost that I know, she is one of my mission for fixing ones greatest regret. I also see the one connected to her regret in the Slytherins table. The one that I am talking about is the Grey Lady or mostly known as Helena Ravenclaw, and the one in the Slytherins table is her killer Bloody Baron.

Soon the dessert came and after everyone is finished the Headmaster stand to his sit again. The hall got silent seeing the Headmaster stand.

"Ahem....just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered. I have a few start of term notices to give." He said with twinkling eyes and grandfathers smile

"First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils. And a few of our older students would do well to remember that as well."

Dumbledore's twinkling eyes flashed in the direction of the Weasley twins. The Weasley twins just avoid his eyes and whistle innocently, their nearby housemates chuckled seeing their act.

"I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors." Mr. Filch look at everyone with his car Mrs. Norris with glare in his eyes that telling 'dont mess with me'.

"Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact Madam Hooch." Some excited murmurs can be heard mostly for the second years

"And finally, I must tell you that this year, the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death."

He said with a serious expression and a twinkling eyes. Sigh typical.

"What do you think is in there?" Terry asked in my side.

"Who knows, maybe cursed items." I said, looking as is I don't care.

Some nearby students just nod in my answers but not really care about it. Were Ravens so it's expected. I look at the

Gryffindors table and see the challenging looks in their face. Ugh morons. Sigh, I pitied Godric of how his house got fallen from brave to reckless trait.

"And now before you go to bed, let us sing the school song" The headmaster said getting his wand and giving it a small flick.

"Now pick your own favourite tune then start" he said.

Then the whole school sing:

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,

Teach us something please,

Whether we be old and bald

Or young with scabby knees,

Our heads could do with filling

With some interesting stuff,

For now they're bare and full of air,

Dead flies and bits of fluff,

So teach us things worth knowing,

Bring back what we've forgot,

just do your best, we'll do the rest,

And learn until our brains all rot."

I didn't sing because, I mean, its stupid. I just look into my house mates and see them just lip syncing. wity. The weasley twins is the loudest with their off tone singing.

And finishing the song, the whole hall burst into applause having the headmaster clap the loudest.

"Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do here! And now, bedtime. Off you trot!"

We started moving outside and follow our prefect Penelope Clearwater, the future girlfriend of the wanna-be-minister weasley Percy. I think I will help her if Percy chooses career over her when they graduated. She is a half blood so finding a job is hard for her, I will see if I can also find a better boyfriend for her, if I can't find anyone, I am always here.(^∇^)

I wave goodbye Harry and Neville and give an encouraging nod and smile to Hermione. When I see Trace and Daph looking at me, I give them a charming smile and a wink. Seeing me wink at them especially Daph, she became flustered and just look away walking hurriedly. Trace just laugh at her and give me a goodbye wave before getting pulled by the flustered Daphne.

We follow penny to the moving stairs up to the fifth floor. It have a small way with portraits hang in the side. We follow her and see a door without any door knob or a key hole, just a big knocker in the shape of eagle.

"In entering the Ravenclaws common room you need to solve the Eagles Riddle, If you can't solve the riddle, you need wait for someone that will solve it for you." She said facing us with a smile. We shake our head saying we understand.

"I have branches, but no fruit, trunk or leaves. What am I?" The eagle stone statue riddled.

"Do anyone want to try?" Penny asked to us while gesturing the door.

Some tried but didn't get the right answer. I'm a little tired because of the trip and its getting late so I answered the riddle.

"I have branches, but no fruit, trunk or leaves. What am I?, A Bank." I said cutting those who analysing the question carefully. All of them look at me but my focus is on the eagle so I didn't see them.

"Correct, you may enter" The eagle said while opening the door.

We enter the common room and I see that the Ravenclaws common room is circular in shape and have a big windows that allow the sunlight to get in. There is also a big library in the side facing a sofa and a study table. Some Ravenclaw higher years started to get their own books and study. Typical.

There is also a two opposite stairs that should led us to our room. Looking at the window I can see the forbidden forest clearly, its beautiful.

Penny told us the basic rules before dismissing us.

"The left corner stair will lead to girls room, no boys can enter it. It have an enchantment alerting the prefect and Professor Flitwick if there are someone enter it forcefully. The right is for the boys, the girls can only enter it with a permission of a prefect and professor.

We climb to our respective stairs and enter our room. Each one of ravenclaws have own room for them not be bothered by others while studying. Its in my favor, I can go to my ring world without anyone noticing except to the Marauders Map, which i will stole and use a strong confundus charm to it, so it will not show where I am then give it back, before copying its runes.

I unpack my things with the help of Lisa while I freshen up to my ring world then sleep. I have a very long weeks starting tomorrow.
