A different kind

SilverFang watched as the children flooded into the school, his presence carefully concealed in the shadows. He
then saw a small girl who made him inhale sharply. She looked just like Sirius. He watched her, and noticed that
McGonagall was leading the group of kids that she was in. First years.

SilverFang turned and walked through two select secret passages and quickly went to his seat at the Head Table.
He sat down next to GoldFeather and Whitestone. Whitestone would working in the infirmary with Madam Promfry.
The first years were led in and to the front of the room. SilverFang smiled, remembering back when he was a first
year.

\"Brings back memories, huh?\" GoldFeather asked. SilverFang nodded.

\"Yeah, it sure does, Dragon Tamer. It\'s a pity that Whitestone never came to Hogwarts.\"

\"I know what you mean.\" He whispered softly. \"Hey, Green Eyes, I was wondering. You still have the Marauder\'s
map?\" He whispered softly. SilverFang\'s eyes widened at him before he chuckled and shook his head.

\"Ron raving?\" He asked. GoldFeather nodded with a small smile. \"Of course. Yes, I still have it.\" He replied with a
whisper. It was then that SilverFang noticed that Hagrid was sitting at the table, but there was one that nearly made
him faint. Then the sorting hat\'s voice brought him back to reality.

\"Welcome, welcome, to Hogwarts fair!
Welcome, welcome and hear a tale!
Of when our school first began!
Of a friendship of four that was destined to fail.
They bickered and argued over this and that.
Which began with the making of this hat
Old Salaazar wanted this school to be filled with no one but pure
Poor Godric so angry with Salazaar where there was no cure
Fought him so strongly, saying he wanted no one not mixed of wizard and muggle
And poor Helga struggled
She tried so strongly to get everyone to compromise
Not even dear Rowena realized
That unless they learned to compromise
It may lead to the school\'s demise.
Old Gryffindor filled with bravery
And morals against anything unsavory
And poor Hufflpuff filled with such loyalty
That very few saw her bravery
Ravenclaw with all of her smarts and cunning
Could see that Salazaar was running
And Salazaar, deep inside the earth
Angry inside, cunning, secretive, ever since his birth
If only they had held together
This school could have been so much better
We could all stand together instead of divided
In the different houses in which you\'ve resided
It won\'t hurt you to make more friends
We need to strengthen before the end
Of this dark war, or else we will fall
But the choice is yours to call
But remember this before you choose
Which side do you want to choose?\"

The had then fell silent, along with everyone else in the room. SilverFang hid
a small smile behind his hand. That hat was pretty damn good at turning everyone on their ears.

\"Step forward please when I say your name. Daniel Ashton.\" A boy stepped forward. SilverFang
tuned out and studied the faces of the first years. He quickly spotted the girl and studied her
closely. She definately looked justlike Sirius, but she had an oddly familiar pair of eyes that he
couldn\'t seem to place. A bright amber that seemed to be alive with fire.

Which brought him back to the person on the end of the table. He glanced back down to look at
Sirius\' face. It couldn\'t be him, could it? Sirius had fallen behind that curtain and they had told him
there was absolutely no way they could retrieve him from the behind the curtain. But if that was true
then how had he come to sit at the Head Table?

\"Crystal Lupin-Black.\" A voice said. Harry\'s attention went back to the girl. SilverFang then remembered
where he had seen those eyes before. Remus Lupin! They must have been lovers! SilverFang had been
a little suspicious.

The girl stepped up confidently to the stool and sat down as McGonagall placed the sorting hat on
her head. After a couple of minutes, the hat finally yelled \"Slytherin!\" and the girl, looking shocked,
removed the hat before she walked down to the Slytherin table. SilverFang snuck a glance down the table
at Sirus and saw his face. SilverFang winced and made a mental note to take care of the girl as he also
noticed the glares that she was recieving at the Slytherin table.

Once the sorting was complete, Dumbledore stood up to adress the students. \"Before you\'re sleepy from
your feast, I should get introductions out of the way. We have three new staff members. Healer Whitestone,
who will be working with Madame Promfrey in the infirmary. Professor GoldFeather who will help Professor
Black teach Care of Magical Creatures. And Professor SilverFang will teach Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Well, dig in.\" He announced and the tables filled with food.

SilverFang filled his plate and ate slowly and politely, like he had been taught by his Master. GoldFeather
and Whitestone mimicked him. When they finished, they studied the hall, searching for a different kind
of aura than the usual aura. It was Whitestone who picked them up first, for her being more adapt to seeing
auras than the other two.

\"Two in Hufflepuff, three in Ravenclaw, one in Gryffindor, and eight in Slytherin.\" She whispered softly.
SilverFang and GoldFeather quickly identified them as well. Death Eaters. There were fourteen Death Eaters
in Hogwarts, not including Severus Snape. It was then that SilverFang realized that he would actually be
working alongside with the man of his dreams. The one whom he had fantisized about since his fifth year.
He suddenly felt quite ill.

\"Are you alright?\" Whitestone asked. GoldFeather noticed SilverFang\'s going pale as well.

\"What\'s wrong, Green Eyes?\" He asked softly. SilverFang put his face in his hands.

\"Oh merlin. I didn\'t even realize that I\'d be working beside him.\" He whispered. Whitestone covered her mouth
as she realized what was wrong.

\"I think someone needs to pay attention a bit more.\" GoldFeather said drily.

\"Shuddup.\" SilverFang growled. Whitestone got up and walked over to Dumbledore and whispered in his ear
for a moment before coming back.

\"Come on, Dragon Tamer. Help me get him back to his rooms before he throws up.\" She whispered softly.
GoldFeather instantly stood up and grabbing one arm while Whitestone grabbed the other, they carried him out
of the Great Hall.

\"I\'ll never live this down.\" SilverFang muttered, causing both Whitestone and GoldFeather to chuckle.

\"Shush, Harry, you need to go to bed.\" GoldFeather told him.

\"Yes Charlie.\" SilverFang muttered. GoldFeather chuckled.
