"So Professor," The young adolescent girl started, "What house would be the most
suitable for me?"Albus Dumbledore smiled kindly down at the girl that sat before him as he
thought about the question. He studied her face- intelligent, but she had a gleam in her eye
and a feisty smile which ruled out all of the house except for one. "Why don't we do this the
traditional way and ask the sorting hat?" Dumbledore got to his feet and loomed over to a tall
bookcase where he brought down a rather old, beaten up, brown wizard hat.
"Ahhhh, a little late to school, aren't we?" The (now seriously confused) girl looked
around to identify the source of the new voice and let out a gasp when she found that it came
from the hat itself. "If you don't mind, would you please put on the hat?" The girl nodded to
Dumbledore, picked up the hat, and gently placed it on her head. "Welocome to Hogwarts,
Miss Claire Greyba-" The girl quickly interrupted, "Claire GREENWOOD, if you please." The hat
continued. "I can see that you come from a long line of of Slytherins, but you have a different
mind and heart than any of your relatives. I see that only one house is suitable for you. You
now will belong to-" It paused while the anticipation built up, "GRYFFINDOR!" The hat's voice
echoed throughout Dumbledore's office. Claire felt herself smile widely at the hat. "Thank
you very much." She said as Professor Dumbledore magicked the hat back to the shelf.
"So, Miss Greenwood, congratulations on your house. Here is your ticket to platform
9 3/4 in King's Cross Station in London on September 1st." He handed her an envelope and
showed her to the fireplace. "Have a safe journey home and Hogwarts will see you on the
1st." Claire smiled at him. "Thank you, Professor Dumbledore, for everything." She stepped
into the fireplace, shouted her destination, and dissapeared in a burst of green flames.
Dumbledore went back to his desk and sat down. He looked at Fawkes, his pet
phoenix. "She will like her new school, I'm guessing, but how will she react when they all
find out her secret? That's when Dumbledore decided to betray a student for her own good
and tell one very trustworthy boy her darkest secret, Remus Lupin.
I know, cheesy and LAME- 1st chapter will introduce the marauders and lily and the story WILL get better, I promise!
