"Settle down everyone," the Headmaster said to the muttering students seated before him in the Great Hall. He rose to his feet taking his position behind the grand owl pedestal looking at the 4 house tables in front of him before clearing his throat to attempt to get their attention once more. "Now I'm sure you've all heard the recent rumours, and I'm here to confirm to you that they are in fact... true." There was another surge of activity from students before they fell silent again at Professor Dumbledore's request. "It has yet to be explained how it happened. But over the past six months, a total of 4 muggles have found their way to Diagon Alley and surroundings." The headmaster looked around waiting to have to tell the students to calm again but he was pleasantly surprised they sat silent and curious so he continued. "The ministry has been trying to unanimously decide on what the best course of action was to take with these individuals. With some persuasion, I've been granted permission to take them into my care and brought here to Hogwarts for an experiment in how much of our culture a muggle can learn and fit in with."
The Slytherin table caused the most uproar after hearing the Headmaster's words. Many muttering obscenities under their breath causing Professor Snape to raise a little before clearing his throat at them. Eyes from the student table darted towards the stern looking man who was glaring back at them before looking down at the table. Satisfied there will be no more interruptions from his house, Snape sat back down allowing Dumbledore to continue.
"The new students will have private tuition to start with, and in time we hope to have them join in with regular classes. Of course we know they cannot learn how to perform magic, but there will be some classes they can attend fully and others they will learn the theory of. Now we expect you all to treat them well anon different to how you would like to be treated yourselves. Now let me introduce them to you shall we?"
The door to the great hall opened and Professor McGonagall led the way with 4 bodies following behind her. They walked down the row between the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables in silence, all eyes were on the 4 clearly nervous muggles walking in McGonagall's shadow. They were led up the dais where the staff table was located, before being turned to face the student body. The Headmaster walked to the end of the row stopping by the first of the muggles, "now this here is Chris Towan. He's a muggle from just outside London." The man nodded a little as he felt all the eyes decent upon him. He was a well built man and students guessed he was probably mid twenties in age with long chestnut hair that stopped at the middle of his back."This little one is the youngest of the muggles joining us," Dumbledore said moving beside the next in line. "His name is Sonny Finchley from Devon." All eyes moved from Chris to the scrawny petrified looking young man. Nineteen years of age, he would find it easier to fit in with some of the 7th years. His hair was dirty blond and in need of a trim as it kept falling into his eyes as he looked on. Before long the Headmaster had moved onto the next person to introduce, "This here is Natasha Young from Manchester." The women gave an energetic wave and a smile to the hall which no doubt made the males in the room swoon. She was petite with delicate features and jet black long silky hair. "And lastly here with have Carol Hunter from the North of England." She nodded as Chris did to the room in a subtle greeting. Her long blonde hair was neat if a little dry looking. She was tall with piercing blue eyes but was easily lost in the crowd standing next to the beauty of Natasha as they both looked of similar age.
The four new students were then led over to the side and listened to the Headmaster finish. "Each of our new guests will be placed with a house. We decided to forgo the sorting hat and placed them in their own rooms attached to their house common rooms. Chris, you will be placed with Ravenclaw" The hall started applauding as Professor McGonagal let the confident man over to the house table before returning for the next new student. "Natasha, Slytherin." Several of the Slytherin boys couldn't hide their delight as the beauty took her place at the long table. "Sonny will be joining Hufflepuff which leaves Carol with Gryffindor." After everyone was placed, food was conjured onto the tables as the students began to eat. Carol looked around at the staff table which she had her back to most of the time. She scanned each of the Professors and smirked the flamboyant dress style of Professor Lockheart whom thought she was smiling at him and lifted his drink to her whilst giving an exaggerated wink. Carol looked away quickly before her eyes set upon the dark eyes of Professor Snape. He was staring right back at her and she couldn't seem to stop looking at him until he broke eye contact.
After dinner Carol was escorted to the Gryffindor common room and was explained all the rules and passwords by Hermione Granger. When they arrived, many Gryffindor's made comment on the new door that had appeared to the side of their rooms and correctly guessed it was the new quarters of their new muggle house mate. They all seemed friendly to Carol who enjoyed being introduced to them all and having warm greetings. At dinner she only spoke to Hermione, Ron and Harry as that is who she was sat next too.
"Do you want me to show you around your room and go through a few more school rules with you?" The bushy haired Hermione asked with a hint of excitement in her voice. She was clearly as curious as Dumbledore was with this new arrangement, not that Carol minded. It would be nice for someone to willingly show her the ropes rather than someone be given the tasks of 'babysitter'.
Her rooms were quite large. A comfortable looking fourposter double bed with red and gold hangings stood in the middle of the room. She had her own fireplace, which was something Hermione was quite jealous of, the opposite side of the room had a writing desk and in the corner was an expensive looking leather sofa. The two sat and talked for a while and Carol explained that she had been at the ministry the past 4 months and had read three whole bookshelves relating to a variety of subjects and was keen to learn more with the Professors.
"Speaking of Professors, who was that one winking at me earlier? The one who wore the garishly coloured robe."
"Oh goodness, that would of been Professor Lockheart. He's a bit of a celebrity in the wizarding world. Teaches defence against the dark arts." Hermione said giggling.
"And what of the Professor who sat at the end. All in black with piercing eyes."
"Piercing eyes? You can't mean Snape?"
"I don't know, maybe? The one with the shoulder length black hair."
"Snape. He teaches potions."
Carol smiled a little after learning his name only to jump at Hermione's sudden piqued curiosity
"You don't do you?"
"Do what?" the muggle sat confused.
"Like Snape! He's a horrid man, just because of what he did in the war doesn't mean he's nice." Hermione said.
Carol laughed, "well I don't know him. I just found his demeanour a little fetching is all."
"Well you'll soon forget that once your in a classroom with him. Oh no I forgot. You'll have him with only the four of you."
"He's that bad?"
"Only advice is don't take things to heart. Took me long enough to learn to shut up in his class and keep my head down."
Carol thanked Hermione for the help as she left for the evening, leaving the muggle to unpack and settle in. Tomorrow she had her first day of tuitions and wanted an early night.
Notes:
First few chapters are going to just be rough detail to get the backstory and introduction to the characters. More depth going forward.
