Would you believe I didn't notice the 'come in spurts' thing until somebody pointed it out to me?
TITLE:
The Erratic Tale Of Hogwarts (you'd think this would be a Founders fic, wouldn't it?)
PERPETRATOR:
Midori Kosatsu SUE-O-METER:
(awful)
FULL NAME: Anne Dahl and Alexandra Collet
SPECIES: human/witches
HAIR: Anne: 'long dark brown hair'. Alex: 'short blond hair, with a wide selection of vibrant colored streaks'.
EYES: not described
MARKINGS: none mentioned
POSESSIONS: Cars. Anne has a red Beetle and Alex has a blue Lotus. If anyone's interested, 'The Blue Lotus' was the title of a Tintin comic in which an eponymous opium den played an important role in the plot.
ORIGIN: I think they're transfer students. I don't know. I don't care. I want them to go away.
CONNECTIONS TO CANON: The phrase 'bulls in a China shop' seems oddly appropriate for describing how these two relate to canon. They just barged in and started wrecking the place.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: none mentioned.
NOTES: I think the Sues in this fic are supposed to be quirky and cute. They aren't. But they are bloody annoying.
SAMPLE:
Our story begins as The Hogwarts Express comes into view. The whistle had just blown and students were boarding the train.
Among the students were 2 girls. One of them had long dark brown hair and the other had short blond hair, with a wide selection of vibrant colored streaks. Both looked around age 17.
After a few minutes of walking down the isle of the train, they found an empty compartment and sat down.
After a few moments of staring out the window, The brunette turned to face her friend “Hey Alex…” she started.
The other girl looked up from a book she had started reading, her blond hair falling in her face a bit, “Erm…yes?” she asked cautiously.
Anne looked out the window “You know what would be really cool?”
Alex sighed and closed her book, “What would be really cool?”
Anne looked at her hand “It would be cool if they made finger socks” she said simply.
Amusement could clearly be seen in Alex’s eyes “Anne…they do…they’re called gloves.”
Anne laughed, “Oh yah, oops.”
Alex smiled; the people of Hogwarts wouldn’t know what hit them.
The train came to a stop at hogsmead station and the students left the train and headed over to the carriages that were there to take them up to the school.
Inside the great hall of Hogwarts, all the students were sitting at their house tables, well except the first years and the two new 7th years, But that’s obvious.
Dumbledore stood up to silence the student’s chattering, “Welcome to another year of Hogwarts!” he glanced over the crowd of students “Now, I assume you are all very hungry, so lets start the sorting so we can begin the feast. If will professor McGonagall”
The stern professor, who was dressed in her infamous emerald green robe, came up to the front with a long piece of parchment and the all to familiar tattered black hat, well it wasn’t familiar to Alex, Anne or the first years…but that’s not the point here.
She cleared her throat “When I call you name, come to the front and sit on the stool, I will place the sorting hat on you head, and you will be sorted into one of the four houses.” She paused, and cleared her throat.
She called each first year and they sat down and were each sorted to either Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff.
Finally after all the first years were sorted, the two new 7th years were the only ones left to sort.
The professor glanced at the two before calling, “Dahl, Anne” Anne slowly walked up to the stool and sat down as the Prof. placed the worn hat on her head.
“Hmm…now where should I put you?” Said the hat in Anne’s head.
‘Wow! The hat can talk!’ thought Anne in awe.
“Yes, I can, but that’s not the point, I have to decide on where to put you…” the hat was once again inturupted.
‘You remind me of a shoe I once had…’ started Anne randomly.
“Hmm…too annoying for Slytherin…” started the hat
‘…true dat!’ agreed Anne with a nod, which looked a bit odd, considering no one could here this little conversation.
“Not smart enough for Ravenclaw…” he continued
‘true da…hey!’ Anne scowled, which again…looked strange to the rest of the students.
“Hmm…too weird for Hufflepuff” the hat reasoned.
‘hey! ...Wait that is true...’ She ponderd this for a moment as the hat made his finall disision
The hat paused for a moment of thought before shouting out “GRYFFINDOR!”
Anne walked over to the cheering Gryffindor’s, and sat down near the end of the table.
“Collet, Alexandra” The professor called out.
Alex muttered to her self about how she hated people calling her that before sitting down on the stool and getting the hat placed on her head.
“Well…I think…” the hat started.
‘Yah, yah... Just put me in the same house as Anne’ Alex thought in a bored tone.
“Hmm…what if I don’t want to put you in the same house as her…what if I put you in say…a house that’s enemies with the house she’s in?” The hat asked smugly.
Alex sighed ‘I didn’t want to resort to this but… let me put it this way, either I get put in the same house as her, or I’ll rip you to pieces and feed you to my hamster.’ She made an evil grin, which scared some of the students near the front.
The hat thought for a moment before shouting out “GRYFFINDOR!”
Alex smiled and walked over to the table and sat down next to Anne “Stupid hat…I don’t even have a hamster!”
Anne looked at her for a moment “Oooook then…hey look! Food!” She pointed at the food that had just appeared on the table, before they both dug in.
