When Alani stepped out of the Carriage she realized that the rain was much heavier now, the rain was swerving away from her, because she had her wand out and it was deflecting the rain, like an invisible umbrella. A black ball of fire and smoke swooped down from the sky, the orb had white eyes, it landed on Alani's left shoulder and when the flames went out a Pheonix's body came into view. This Phoenix is Alani's pet, her name is Paumar, Paumar flew off after letting Alani know that she had arrived. Artemas went off with Fred, George and their friend Lee Jordon. Mattheo went off with Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott. Alani walked ahead, alone, she was the first in the Great Hall, she strode down the Gryffindor table and she sat at the end of the table. Alani was alone at the end of the table which was closest to the Teachers table, she pulled her book that she was reading out if her cloak pocket (they're huge pockets) and she started reading while the Sorting Ceremony happened. Alani had noticed that the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers spot on the right hand side of the table was free, but she didn't care enough to wonder where the new Professor was. "Ooo, maybe Dumbledore couldn't find anyone, maybe the job really is cursed!" a giddy Russian Womans voice echoed in Alani's head, this voice was deep and cold. "Dumbledore would've found someone to take the role." a French woman's voice counter-argued. Alani suffers from a Dissociative Idenfity Disorder, meaning she has multiple personalities, most people would call hearing voices "having Schizophrenia" but Alani's voices were more than that, with any outburst of emotion that she feels they can take over her body. Alani is Schizophrenic as well, she sees things in reflective surfaces and she sees things in the corner of her eyes, there are always things lurking around. Alani is completely used to this though, she named the Russian Woman's voice: "the Devil" and the French Woman's voice: "the Angel".  Alani is on medication to help her out with a shit load of Mental Issues, those being:  Sociopathy, Psychopathy, D.I.D, Germaphobia, Schizophrenia and Insomnia. Her meds make her completely numb, without her meds she'd go insane, literally. Only a select few people knew of her Mental Issues, those being her Uncle, her Brothers, the Malfoy's, Madam Pomfrey, Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore. Dumbledore allows her to go into the Shrieking Shack when she turns into a Werewolf.
