On September first, nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, many eleven-year-olds stood in the Great Hall, waiting to be sorted. Six of these young first years were
clueless of how much their lives were going to change, of how close they were about to become. The first of the six to be called was Scorpius Malfoy, and nobody in the hall
was surprised when the Sorting Hat placed him in Slytherin. The next of the six, however, was more of a shock; everyone in the hall grew quiet as Albus Potter stepped
forward. He was expected to go to Gryffindor, especially by his older brother, James, but when the hat yelled out 'Slytherin' again, there was no cheers, just silence.
The next one to be called was Lysander Scamander, who was called after his brother, Lorcan, who went into Ravenclaw. Even though it wasn't as shocking as Albus, it was
still a surprise when the hat yelled out 'Slytherin', he was thought to also go in Ravenclaw with the rest of his family. The next two of the six were right next to each other,
they were cousins, Rose and Roxanne Weasley. Rose being put in Slytherin was almost more shocking then Albus; Roxanne, however, didn't get as much shock from her
family, they weren't that surprised at all actually.
Finally, the last of the six was the last to be called at all, Aidan Zabini was not surprised to be put into Slytherin with his best mate, Scorpius, both of their dads were in
Slytherin together as well.
During the feast, the six unknowingly sat together; two of them couldn't wait to owl their parents, three of them were nervous, but Albus Potter didn't know, he still
wasn't sure if being in the house of snakes was what he wanted, but when he looked at his two cousins and close friend who were sorted with him, he smiled. Maybe he
was where he wanted to be after all.
