Sorting

(Y/n)'s P.o.V


We squeesed through the crowd and manage to be at the very front. I looked up to see a giant, was the one calling all the first years. Harry greeted the giant and it greeted back. "You know him?" I asked Harry.


"Yeah, he helped me get my school supplies, and... also the one who told me everything." Harry explained, I let out an audible 'Ohh' and nodded. The giant then told us to follow him.


We were leaded to a lake that barely there, it was so dark that you may think that there isn't really a lake there. We had to take a boat that would soon lead us to the castle that stood far away. I was at the same boat as Harry and Ron. Looking around fascinated at the starry night sky.


We then reached an underground harbor like place, the giant, who I learned was named Hagrid, helped us get to land safely. He kept us close and led u through the hall. And at the very end there was a gigantic door, Hagrid raised his fist and knocked on the door. Just then the doors opened to reveal an old woman in robes with a stern look.


"Firs' years Professor McGonigall." Hargrid said. "Thank you Hagrid. I'll be taking it from here now" The old woman said, Hagrid bowed and went on his way. When the old woman finally openned the door, I was amazed, and I guess I wasn't the only one. Harry and Ron had the same face as mine, and probably everyone except the old woman.


As we were lead by the woman, we suddenly stopped. She then introduced herself as Professor McGonigall, she welcomes us to Hogwarts and told us everything before we could be seated with the others students, we would have to be sorted into one of the houses in the school.


The houses were Griffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. But of course everyone knew that... maybe... Professor McGonigall told us to wait until we get to go inside and be sorted. After Professor had left. Someone spoke, "So it's true then? What they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." It was the same blond boy from Diagon Ally.


Everyone then started to whisper about Harry. "How come you never told me you were this popular?" I asked whispering every word. "(Y/n). I didn't even knew myself." He whispered back.


"This is Crabbe and Golye." The blond said, gesturing at his... uh... how should I put this... larg- fat... thick, friends. "And I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." Ron let out a snicker that caught Malfoy's attention. "Think my names funny do you? I don't need to ask yours." He then examines Ron, "Red hair, freckles, and a hand me down robe, you must be a Weasley."


I looked at the boy, clearly, we're in for a treat. "Uh haha, is there something wrong that?" I asked, people then quieted down and just started to watch. "Excuse me?"


"Oh sorry, let me repeat myself. Is there something wrong with that?" I asked agaib, stepping a little bit closer to the boy. "Oh please, what would like to know? Who are you anyway?" Now Malfoy was a slightly bit taller that I am. I stared into his grey eyes. Did I say stared I mean Glared. I felt like I was on edge so I exhaled and said, "I'm (Y/n) (2nd/n) (L/n), and I would like to know why you changed the subject, Mrs. I mean Mr. Malfoy." With a polite smile I walked back down to Harry and Ron.


I gave Ron a side glance and I could see the smile that formed on his face. "Oh I know you, your family fled when they need you the most, I must say, for someone as brave as you, you're family's such a coward." Malfoy mused as he looked down at me with a smirk. It ticked me off. This guy... I sneered at him, and looked away. "Anyway, Potter. You'll soon find out that some Wizarding families are much better that the others."He paused.


"You don't wanna go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there." Malfoy the stuck out a hand, waiting for Harry to grab his. Harry stared at his hand and back at Malfoy. "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself thank you." Harry replied. Just then Professor McGonigall came back, and she whacked a piece of parchment on Malfoy's head.


I giggled at the sight, and Malfoy walked back to his friend, glaring at the three of us. "We're waiting for you now. Follow me."


And as told, we followed professor McGonigall through the doors, which revealed a hall filled with wizards and witches. There were 4 tables that was packed by wizards that watched us walk through the great hall.


The hall has floating candles that was just there. While above the candles was a velvety black ceiling dotted with stars. When all of us first years came to a halt, Professor McGonigall came in and placed a four-legged stool with an old pointed wizards hat. Us first years looked at the old hat, then it suddenly started to sing.


"So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!" when the hat finished a round of applause was booming through the hall, the hat bowed to each one of the four tables and everything fell silent again. Professor McGonigall then stepped forward holding a long parchment that reached the ground.


"When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted." And with that Professor McGonigall called each of us one by one. A girl named Hannah Abbot was sorted into Hufflepuff, a boy named Terry Boot became a Ravenclaw, Lavender Brown was the first to become a Griffindor, and a Boy named Millicent Bulstrode became a Slytherin. Soon after that, more students started to fill in the other houses Harry and Ron were already sorted to Griffindor, to which Ron Grieved, because of Granger. And then, "(L/n), (Y/n)."


I froze, but I eventually made myself walk to the head of the hall and sat on the stool. Professor McGonigall then sets the hat on my head. It then hummed. "I interesting... such a strong heart, and a cunning personality..." it whispered. I just stared at the hat kept myself quiet. "And yet, very loyal. And, you young man, could be quick witted." It continued. "But, I can sense great bravery from you... where should I put you?"


This went on for a few more minutes. It went on back and forth about each houses, but as more time passes, it was against two houses.


Griffindor or Slytherin.


"Tell me child, what are you?" The hat said aloud. I stayed silent, as everyone in the room watched, I could possibly have a heart attack right now. "Well?" It asked once more. I exhaled and waited for a bit.


"I'n nothing more than a student that would like to belong one of the houses. Anything is preferable, I trust your choice." I answered quietly, hoping that only the hat would hear. "Hmmm... brave enough to talk back. You have good motivations. Better be... GRYFFINDOR!"


'FINALLY' I thought to myself as Professor McGonigall took of the hat. The Griffindor, table howling and cheering as I made my way to the table. I sat next to Harry, and staryed to char with Both him and Ron.


When all of the first year are finally sorted in their respective houses. An old man with a long beard that was white as snow. And prossibly whiter. Must be that Dumbledore.


Dumbledore greeted all first years with a welcome speech. A very nice one at that. And by that I mean. He said this.


"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!"


And thanked us.


Uhhmm... alright, could've said something weirder myself.


After he had finished majority of the people in the hall applauded for Dumbledore's speech.


We were now allowed to eat the feast in front of us. And from What I can see, Ron was the first to eat... alot... huh... he's gonna choke if he doesn't slow down.


I looked at the food in front of us and took the one I fancied. Ron was about to take another leg when suddenly a head popped out of nowhere on the tray of chicken legs. Ron suddenly lets out a scream. And I laughed at him. "Hello. How are you? Welcome to Gryffindor." The ghost said as it floated away from the table.


"Hello sir Nicholas, had a great summer?" Percy asked, smiling. "Dismal. Once again my request to join the Headless Haunt has been denied." Sir Nicholas said.


"I know you! You're nearly headless Nick!" Said Ron. "I prefer Sir Nicholas if you don't mind." Sir Nicholas shot back. Just then Hermione spoke, ""Nearly-Headless"? How can you be Nearly-Headless?" To which Harry rolled his eyes to, and I snickered, Hermione Glared at me for a short while. Sir nick the said, "Like this." And showed us that his head was just clinging on a small piece of skin and tissue. And many cringed at the sight. Not me. Ok maybe a little. And Ron. Ron just screamed.


----------------------


After dinner we were escorted to where we'll be staying. As we climbed up the moving staircase and listen to some rules that needed to specified to us. And also the chatting of the moving paintings were there chatting about as we passed. And there was also that one poltergeist, named Peeves.


We then finally came to a stop when we faced a painting of a fat lady. "Password?" She asked. "Caput Draconis." Percy said as the portrait swung open. It then revealed a large circular hole. We then entered the hole and inside was like a living room. "Welcome to Gryffindor's common room. Boys dormitory at upstairs down to your left. And girls same to your right. You'll already find your belonging in there."


And after that. We headed our way. I went on and followed Ron and Harry but turns out I didn't get to room with them. They were already full. So I went to the room next to there. And my belongings were already there. "Guess this is my room." I smiled and ran to the bed.


But Instantly I sprang up and. Took out a piece of parchment and wrote to mum and dad. And after that. I let Rogue send it off to them. I smiled as I looked at my owl disappear through the night.


This will be an interesting life...
