Professor Flitwick nodded again before looking to the other, "Let me be the first to welcome you all to Ravenclaw house, as you've no doubt already deduced, I'm Professor Flitwick, head of Ravenclaw house, and it's my privilege to welcome you all to your new house here at Hogwarts." He said with pride.

"Here in Ravenclaw we pride ourselves on intelligence, wisdom and wit, as well as creativity, originality, individuality and acceptance. Though we're only known for the first three, keep the others in mind as they are just as important."

Hearing that I inwardly scowled, 'Yeah right, what was with all the bullying of Luna then in the later years, where was the acceptance there, where was the acceptance of her individuality and creativity? That is not going to happen while I'm here.' I thought to myself as I continued to listen to the speech.

"I expect to see great things from each of you during your time here at Hogwarts. Hogwarts is a place of learning, and for growing, and for Ravenclaws it is where you will learn all you will need for when you leave to go out and better our world with your knowledge and wisdom." The small Professor beamed.

"Should you need any assistance or have any questions you can find me in my office in between class times, or at any other times you can ask any of the prefects for help, they will be able to help with homework by recommending books or passages to read or checking your work for corrections and give advice...."

"But they will not do the homework for you, this is the house of learning after all. Now, I believe I have kept you all long enough, and I think it's time you all went to find your dorm rooms, good night. "

With that, we all divided, boys and girls, and went to go to our dorms but before I could get very far, Professor Flitwick spoke again.

"Mister Black a moment if you please," he said kindly.

I stopped and turned back to the small professor as the others continued on to the stairway.

"Yes Professor?" I asked.

"Mister Black, as you've no doubt guessed, your arrival has caused some shock this evening, as a result the Headmaster has asked that you attend a meeting with him in his office tomorrow morning to straighten some things out and answer some questions." Professor Flitwick told me with a gentle smile and a neutral tone.

I nodded, "I see, that's understandable," I replied having expected this, "I take it you will be accompanying me to, and during the meeting, as per the Hogwarts charter permits?" I inquired.

I saw Professor Flitwick blink a couple of times in shock at my statement before smiling a bit more, "I say, you've read the Hogwarts charter?" he stated sounding shocked and happy.

I smiled and nodded, "Yes, well glanced over it would be a better phrase, it's quite a large volume but I managed to find a copy in the library in Black manor, and I was interested in to learn more about Hogwarts, my grandparents told me what parts I should focus on first, but intend to give it a more thorough reading during the summer when I have some free time." I explained.

Professor Flitwick's smile grew more and more with every word I said, "oh splendid, I can see why you were made one of my Raven's Mister Black, and I will certainly be attending the meeting with you, I'm quite curious to learn a bit more about you myself given your sudden appearance." He chuckled.

"Now I'd better not keep you, off you go." he said with a smile and a wave of his hand as he dismissed me.

I nodded, "Good Night Professor." I said before turning and heading towards the staircase leading up to the boy's dormitories.

Luckily by the time I had made it up the stairs, everyone else had already found their rooms so there was only one door left open, stepping in I could see my trunk at the end of the large double bed with midnight blue sheets.

I closed the door to my doom before going towards my trunk and opening it and starting down the ladder and closing the lid behind me.

Grateful that I had my own room meaning that it would make it easier going in and out of my trunk without people seeing me.

Reaching the bottom of the ladder I started down the corridor and through the common area into my master bedroom and right to the bedside table taking out the mirror inside grateful that I had spotted these things when I had been in the Black vault at Gringotts. Communication mirrors.

"Andromeda Tonks," I spoke into the mirror and a couple of seconds later the reflective surface of the mirror shimmered and Aunt Andy appeared in the mirror.

"About time Magnus, we've been waiting for over half an hour," Aunt Andy said over the line before a pink haired Tonks stuck her head in.

"Wotcha cousin, damn this thing really works, wish I had these when I was in Hogwarts." Tonks smirked as she peered at me from beside Aunt Andy through the mirror.

I smirked, "Sorry Aunt Andy, hey Tonks."

"So how did it go during the sorting, like we suspected?" Aunt Andy asked me

"And what house did you get into? Ouch!" Tonks asked impatiently only to get a smack on the back of the head from Andy.

I chuckled, "It went exactly as we suspected it would, my name being called out shocked everyone, though I haven't had any problems yet because of it."

"Though I have been told that Dumbledore wanted to have a word with me tomorrow morning in his office, no doubt he will have a number of questions for me, I've asked that my head of house be present there already."

Aunt Andy nodded her head as she looked to be in thought, "I see, yes just as we suspected then, Ted has already dropped off the information with the Daily Prophet as you wanted.... and I'll make sure I'm free tomorrow morning to floo to Hogwarts for that meeting if you need me."
