Chapter 3
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (Harry Potter) Hogwarts Express (Harry Potter) Alternate Universe - Harry Potter Setting; Summary. Kim Jongdae is the son of the most famous newspaper author in the Wizarding World.
Harry had awoke the next morning, today everyone was getting ready to leave for Platform 9 ¾, packing their trunks, harry had spelled the book to look like a history of something so no one knew.
'How are we getting to the station' asked Ron after breakfast.
'Your father as arranged for a taxi to the train station' said Ms Weasley as she was fixing a light breakfast.
A few min later they were at the platform, Ms Weasley doing like she did every year of worrying if everyone has everything.
'Got everything… have a good year… and stay out of trouble, you two!' yelled Mrs. Weasley to Fred and Gorge, as she waved off everybody.
Everyone was now on the Hogwarts train, traveling by rail to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hermione, Ron and Harry found an empty cabin all to themselves, Hermione started talking about her time in America, and she also was talking to Ginny about a new swim outfit she had gotten.

Walking into the brightly lit Great Hall of Hogwarts felt more than ever like coming home to Harry. The stars twinkled in the enchanted ceiling and the walls were festooned with brightly coloured banners.
Harry sat down beside Ginny just as the main doors of the Hall opened and McGonagall led in the first-years. Reaching the front, she collected the Sorting Hat and placed it upon its ceremonial stool. The brim of the Hat cracked open, and it began to sing as it always did on this occasion. Only this time its message was somewhat different.
'A millennium and more ago,
When these lands were divided
And wizards shared no common bond,
Unaided and unguided,
The greatest four from out of them
Conceived an epic scheme:
A place where magic had a home,
For, lo, it was their dream
That the youth of wizardry should come
In fellowship together
And build a strong community
To withstand any weather.
To this great task the Founders brought
the talents they possessed.
For each had skills unique to them,
with which they had been blessed.
Brave Gryffindor, of heart so true,
Brought courage, strength and daring.
Kind Hufflepuff thought most of all
of loyalty and sharing.
Bright Ravenclaw had knowledge, skill
in learning and tuition.
Wise Slytherin put his own faith
in cunning and ambition.
Together they did build this school,
that all might share its wonder.
But all too soon their harmony
and friendship split asunder.
Now all that's left are Houses four
and me, who must divide you.
So put me on your head right now
And I will look inside you.
But heed my words, for though I'll say
In which house you belong,
When darkness comes, as darkness will,
And evil seems so strong,
The school must be united
As it once was meant to be,
And each House must bring its talents
For the good of wizardry.'
The song caused much animated discussion on the four House tables as the Sorting began.
As soon as the last name was called Headmaster Dumbledore stood up. 'Welcome, all of you, to Hogwarts, both our new intake and our returning students,' he said warmly. 'I have a few notices to give, and then a very important announcement to make. Firstly, remember that the Forbidden Forest is strictly out of bounds and no magic is permitted in the corridors. Our caretaker, Mr Filch, has revised his list of banned items, and copies of the list will be posted in each common room.
'Secondly...
The great hall doors flew open and in walked Mad Eye Moody. Harry had met him once last year at the train station before summer.
Moody sat down, shook his mane of dark grey hair off his face, pulled a plate of sausages toward him, raised it to what was left of his nose and sniffed it. He then took a small knife out of his pocket, speared the sausage on the end of it, and began to eat.
'May I introduce our new Defence against Dark Arts teacher?' said Dumbledore brightly into the silence. 'Professor Moody.'
'Lastly, the important announcement to which I referred. I'm afraid to say this season's Quidditch tournament will not take place.' There were loud groans from all parts of the Hall, particularly, Harry heard, from Ron just beside him. Dumbledore however raised his hand for quiet. 'This is because this year will see the revival of one of the greatest and most prestigious competitions in the Wizerding world: The Triwizard Tournament. This tournament was held for centuries between the three pre-eminent magical schools in Europe: Hogwarts, the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and the Durmstrang Institute. It was abandoned over a century ago due to safety concerns but thanks to successful negotiations it is to return with Hogwarts as the hosts.
'For those unfamiliar with the tournament, each school puts forward one champion to represent them, and these champions compete in a succession of extremely arduous magical challenges. It is considered a great privilege to be chosen. Representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be arriving at Halloween, when the champions will be chosen, and I expect you to extend them every courtesy as our guests. The Triwizard Tournament is an opportunity to bring diverse witches and wizards together, to foster strong ties with our friends from across the continent. It should prove to be a most interesting and exciting year.'
As soon as Dumbledore had sat down, excited chatter broke out amongst all the students. Apart from a few disappointed at the lack of Quidditch, everyone was eagerly anticipating the tournament. There was much debate about who the Hogwarts champion might be; Ryan Llewellyn, the new Head Boy, was an obviously common guess, or Roger Davies, the popular Ravenclaw Quidditch captain. The Marauders all immediately declared their intention to put themselves forward, except Ron who did his best to distance himself from the crazy idea.
(((I changed Mad eye Moody a bit, he is more nicer in class than what was in the goblet of fire book)))
The Next day Harry had Transfiguration and Herbology, as well as Potions, but Harry did not fear Snape anymore, all he had was a mean grudge to his dad, and that was all there is.
In Herbology, Professor Sprout had them re-pot Mandrakes, saying that the headmaster thought it was a good idea to have a supply of them. In Transfiguration, Harry and Hermione were the only students who successfully turned a beetle into a button. Neville, in contrast, somehow managed to set his desk on fire and Ron managed to turn McGonagall's best hat into a block of ice (she gave him detention for it, deducted twenty points and threatened to kick both him and Neville out of her class). After lunch was Defence against the Dark Arts.
'Welcome class, as you know I am Professor Moody, and I am here to defend you against the dark arts as well as you-know-who'
Cho blurted out 'you-know-who was gone; he was destroyed by Harry potter years ago'.
'Yes well as you know the dark will never leave, as there is always a light side the dark side is still there' said Professor Moody.
Harry thought he was talking about star wars, and talking just like yoda.
Hermione was going to say something, as she was Muggle-Born and knew about star wars, but she wanted to know more of what the teacher wanted to say so she did not say anything.
'As you know there are dark spells and light spells, can anyone tell me why' he asked looking around the room.
Hermione put her hand up.
'Ah yes, please tell me your name and the answer' said Professor Robert.
Hermione stood up, 'it's Granger, Hermione granger, and the answer is that dark spells hurt people, and light spells help people' said Hermione with a smile.
'Sorry Ms Granger, but that is wrong' said Professor Robert.
Hermione was shocked, as most of the class, granger, the smart witch of the age got something wrong.
'Now, Ms Granger, 5 Points to griffendore, for getting part of it right'
'Here is a few curse and spells that are dark but where made for the light, the Imperius Curse, was used in medical treatments to stop people from hurting them self or killing others, Cruciatus Curse was used like shock therapy used to treat people with mental illness, and the Killing curse was created to kill animals without pain, or to kill people that are dying anyway of a disease or some type of problem, a painless death is better than suffering' said Professor Moody.
'Ok, here is a quiz, what type of light spell that can be used as a dark spell' asked Professor Moody.
Ginny raised her hand.
'Yes...Ms Weasley is it' said Professor Moody.
'Yes, the spell Wingardium Leviosa can make a person fly off a cliff, or someone can make a knife fly at someone' said Ginny.
'Take 10 Points for Griffendore' said Professor Moody as the bell rang.

Harry got back to his dorm and read throw his book, Ron and Ginny where playing chess in the common room so he had the dorm to himself. Looking throw the book he was looking for something to use on Ginny or maybe Hermione, harry wanted to have a little more fun, something to end the day before dinner. Harry finally found a suitable spell.
The spell description had read:
A simple spell, which, when cast upon the intended target, will create in them an unbreakable sexual attraction to the caster until the caster performs the counter-spell, returning the target to their original state with no memory of the events that had taken place. Warning: the attraction is immediate, and powerful. Unless the counter-spell is performed, the target's attraction to the caster will continue to increase.
While Harry was reading Hermione had walked down the stairs of the girl's dorm with a letter.
'Hay Hermione, what you up to' asked Harry putting the book back into his bag.
Hermione smiled, 'oh hay Harry, I am going to go mail a letter to my parents, to let them know about the tournament and how class went, want to walk with me' asked Hermione holding the door open.
'I will be up there in a sec, I have to get a letter that I wanted to send to you know where' said Harry walked over to the boys dorm.
Well that is it for this chapter, the next one will be when the other schools arrive and the champions are chosen.
