Chapter 7: Chapter 7 - The boy with a bezoar in his pocket

'Wait what, Arya was in complete shock, a Weasley in Slytherin and they are happy about it? Ron was the most against Slytherins in the canon yet he was walking over to the house full of confidence. 'What the hell is this going to mean for Canon, who the hell is best friends with Harry now, I can see Daphne playing the role of Hermione to him. But who is going to be his Ron?' As Arya's thoughts were running wild on her the next student was called up. Theodore Nott made his way up to the sorting hat. The hat was placed on his head

Sorting Hat: 'Hmmm Mr Nott, quite the interesting mind you have here. The sly mind of a Slytherin, you would fit right in there you know, you would rise to the top of the Slytherin Hierarchy. Yet you also have an unyielding courage to go beyond for your friends that would make you the backbone of Gryffindor. Two polar opposite houses with two perfect matches for you, oh what to do, where to put you, well one thing I know for sure, is you belong in' "Gryffindor"

Arya now realized how it was looking to go. Theo was to take Ron's place as the stalwart best friend and to be honest Ron always sucked at that for 60% of their entire friendship and only used Harry for the most part. So maybe Slytherin is his true colors and Theo will be a better friend to Harry. So the new golden trio is to be Daphne, Harry, and Theo but where does that leave Hermione? She is too talented a witch to allow to just be on the sidelines. Does this mean she is more important for something else besides the golden trio? Before Arya could get any further lost in a tangent she realized she was called up to the Sorting Hat at last. The hall again silenced as the entire wizarding world already knew the name of Arya Rosier, a prodigy child who could use transfiguration with wandless magic. The single most complex magic in a lot of eyes yet Arya had the ability to work that magic wandlessly.

Arya could even feel Dumbledore pause as her name was called and stare at her 'Damn this is what happened when Harry got sorted in the movies. Why is there such a feeling of foreshadowing clinging to me right now. Arya sat down and felt the professor place the hat on her head.

Sorting Hat: "My oh my so many interesting minds this year. And you Miss Rosier are top of that list. You have clearly got the head and motivation for learning for Ravenclaw, in that house your name would be recalled for the foreseeable future as genius and reincarnate of Rowena Ravenclaw herself. Yet your heart so loyal and true and your unyielding attitude to work hard for those around you would make you a pillar of support and hope for the house for as long as you are here and beyond. Then we have your way of using your mind. It is the epitome of cunning for Slytherin house yet you lack those prodigious built around the house. You have the ability to rise through the ranks of Slytherin with the backing of one of the 28 sacred families while changing all their minds thanks to your unmitigated genius driving you. And last but certainly not least your headstrong bravery in the face of all odds that stack against you. The attitude you carry never to be left at a disadvantage ever again would spark the hearts of your fellow Gryffindors combined with your practical adeptness at magic will carry Gryffindor to a new golden age of magic. So where on earth do I place you, I can see you are genuinely surprised that you are so suitable for all the classes and really don't have a preference but where to put you. I think I will put you in the house that needs you most, so it seems they had the luck of the draw as you are on your way to'.... "Ravenclaw"

The entire table at Ravenclaw erupted into thunderous applause as the other tables mumbled in disappointment. Arya had to take a moment to calm down, the sorting hat had just given her a lot of information she was having trouble processing. It is one thing to be suitable to every house she was not the first and she wont be the last student that has attributes suited to all the houses but for one person to have the ability to have such significant impacts on each and every house is utterly insane. Arya was forced to put the thought aside as she walked over to the cheering Ravenclaws, she saw Hermione sitting there and her eyes lit up. At least she had a friend in the house. 'Wait , Hermione is in ravenclaw away from Harry and so am I, does this mean I will have a large part of the canon, I guess I should have expected as much considering all the changes my birth alone has brought to the original canon I knew from my previous life'.

Arya reached the Ravenclaw table and was welcomed to the Ravenclaw house with open arms as she took her seat next to Hermione who looked up at her with a glow in her eyes.

Hermione: "Hey Arya, glad to see you here seems like we are both right where we belong. I am so excited to see what is coming next"

Arya: "I agree, since it is just us two let's have each other's backs, it should be a lot of fun getting to be in a house like Ravenclaw together"

The sorting hat was now done and was carried out of the great hall, and the greatest wizard of the generation stood atop the teachers' platform at the head of the Great Hall. Albus Dumbledore, Arya wasn't sure how she felt about him from what she saw in the movies and read in the books Dumbledore was always manipulating Harry to do his bidding, all the while knowing he was basically going to kill him. It makes no sense was there no spell the great Albus Dumbledore could find or come up with that would destroy a horcrux without killing him? The greatest Wizard of all time how can that be possible, Arya understood the way he got his hand cursed as great as he is, he is still human and he wanted to see his sister again. He was simply overwhelmed with emotion it happens to the best of us, but to manipulate events the way he did from the day Harry was saved as a baby he was manipulated forced to live with abusive family underfed and uncared for 11 years before he found someplace in Hogwarts, making him wholly dependent on Dumbledores goodwill and this carried through for the next 6 years, Yet in this universe somehow Harry lives with Sirius and is happy? Arya realized she needs to learn more about this universes situation before she can pass judgment on anyone in this world.

Dumbledore: "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!

Hermione looked lost at his words and Arya giggled next to her and said "think about the different houses and you will figure it out" With that food appeared on the dining hall table. Arya's mouth watered just looking at the food that covered the entire Ravenclaw table. A couple students introduced themselves to Arya and Hermione but the only names that really stuck with Arya were the ones mentioned from the canon, Padma Patil twin sister of Gryffindor Parvati Patil and Michael Corner future ex boyfriend of one Ginny Weasley. Arya even learned the name of that Ravenclaw that always carries a bezoar in his pocket, his name was Chad. After the meal was done Dumbledore introduced the new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Quirrel aka Lord Voldy himself and warned everyone not to go near the third floor in search of untimely death and the feast came to an end.
