Upon arrival most of the kids had their preferred house set in stone in their mind, and for the most part that came true. Parents sent each of them off from platform nine and three quarters with hopes of a bright Gryffindor future, or Slytherin in Malfoy's case, and every year there would be one that doesn't fit that norm.
Teddy Lupin was the first to attend Hogwarts, as he was the eldest. Even though he isn't a blood relative of Harry, the both Harry and Ginny have always considered him their own son. Just like his mother Nymphadora Tonks, Teddy was placed into Hufflepuff, which wasn't too much of a surprise; however, secretly Teddy had some hope that maybe he could be a Gryffindor just like his most aspiring role model, his godfather.
Victoire Weasley daughter of Bill and Fleur Weasley was the first of the second generation Weasleys and caused many whispers and side comments from the other students when she stepped up to the sorting hat to be placed after Headmaster McGonagall called her name. Shortly after some serious contemplation the hat proudly declared Victoire was officially a Gryffindor. She immediately owled her parent's notifying them of her excitement of being placed into the house she wanted. And of course Bill and Fleur beamed proudly upon finding out the great news. Thus the Weasley Gryffindor streak began...
Following this Gryffindor trend came Bill and Fleur's other two children Dominique and Louis Weasley. Even with the age gap of two years between them this sorting became no surprise to their fellow peers. All that the news that was sent home did was have the odds even more in their favor for the friendly family bet on which kids get into which house, which most of the adults had a favorable bet on Gryffindor.
Next came Molly Weasley daughter of Percy and Audrey, and she was the one that so called 'threw off the norm as she was sorted into Ravenclaw. Being the first Weasley in Ravenclaw was hard to overcome at first, since she was separated from the rest of her cousins, but in the end she found to love and embrace her differences and thrived in Ravenclaw. Absorbing every drop of knowledge at Hogwarts she could, Molly became the picture perfect role model student and aced every one of her N.E.W.T.S. Her family also embraced this sudden change the sorting trend and made sure to boast about their daughter's excellent marks.
The time came when the first Potter came returned to Hogwarts. This was James Potter's year and he knew that he would surely be in Gryffindor just like his father and mother. To no shock, he got his wish and confidently strut himself to the Gryffindor table following his sorting. Many of the adults lost no money in this bet as they also agreed with James' mentality and confidence of a successful Gryffindor future. The only one who was vaguely concerned was McGonagall due to the fact that she was becoming rapidly outnumbered with Weasleys and now a Potter.
Fred II Weasley son of George and Angelina was also sorted along with James into Gryffindor. These two in the same house only meant trouble, as both boys has a knack for pranks and mischief. They both went into their first year with aspirations of becoming the next Fred and George famous pranksters of their generation, which they will eventually succeed.
The moment Albus Potter confronted the sorting hat was the most anticipated, as he was the one kid that was the most unsure of his housing preference. A hush came over the crowd when the hat began expressing its thought process as they awaited the final news. After another hard and long contemplation, the hat had finally decided on the fate of the youngest Potter son, and that fate was Slytherin. Immediately conversations overcame the students discussing this shocking revelation. Albus, however quickly accepted his fate and found it easy to call Slytherin his home. As soon as the news arrived at the Potter's kitchen table the new obsession was seeing which of the rest of the kids would be a Hufflepuff so that the Weasley-Potter clan could conquer each of the four Hogwarts houses.
Also in the same year as Albus was Rose Weasley daughter of Ron and Hermione. This was the most memorable first year at Hogwarts for Rose also broke the Gryffindor norm and was declared a Ravenclaw. Now even though Rose had hopes to follow in her parents' footsteps and spend her Hogwarts days as a Gryffindor, she was not upset with this final decision. See Rose took after her mother and was obsessed with reading and learning new topics whenever she could. Before venturing off to Hogwarts, she brushed up on Hogwarts history and even borrowed some notes from her cousins' first year, so by all means she was prepared and confident that she was going to become the brightest witch of her generation just as her mother was deemed. Hermione and Ron had secretly known all along that Rose was going to be a Ravenclaw and both shared a soft smile to each other when hearing the big news.
Now we veer off the Weasley-Potter family focus and get a glimpse of young Scorpius Malfoy, son of Draco and Astoria, who was also included in this all start Hogwarts first year class along with Albus and Rose. Bearing the last name of Malfoy caused Scorpius to have a lot of weight on his broad shoulders as he was constantly judged based off his father's past. Draco had told Scorpius before he left that even though the last name Malfoy came with the expectation of being a Slytherin, that it did not matter which house he was placed in. This thought was not a common shared mentality as all other Hogwarts first years counted on him being a Slytherin. To everybody's dismay young Malfoy was sorted into Ravenclaw with Rose. This decision caused commotion in the great hall, even Scorpius was a little shocked. He accepted the fact though and managed to calmly sit on the Ravenclaw table conveniently across from Miss Weasley.
One year later, it was now time for the younger side of the Weasley next generation to attend Hogwarts. This was Lucy's (daughter of Percy and Audrey) and Roxanne's (daughter of George and Audrey) time to shine. Both these Weasley girls were placed in Gryffindor as expected from the pair and they couldn't have be more excited. Lucy and Roxanne didn't only consider themselves cousins, but they were the best of friends. They will spend the next seven years attached at the hip together in Gryffindor where they always knew they belonged.
Finally comes the last induction of the Weasley-Potter blood line with Hugo (son of Hermione and Ron) and Lily Potter. Hugo has always looked up to his sister Rose, so arriving at Hogwarts he thinks he can manage a spot at the Ravenclaw table; however, just like clockwork he, like many of his other cousins, is placed in Gryffindor as well. A little disappointed with the news, Hugo joins James, Lucy, and Roxanne at his house table. They cheer him up and eventually he realizes that being with the majority of his family is a great perk, and that Rose is just a few corridors away whenever he may need her.
Last but not least is Miss. Lily Potter the final Potter child to join Hogwarts and Harry's only daughter. She never looked forward to September 1st because that meant more of her cousins and eventually siblings would leave her. Not like being the only child in the house was a bad thing as she got most of the attention by her dotting father and loving mother, but she always missed her brothers and how they would always fill the house with laughter and commotion. Finally it was her turn now to leave Harry and Ginny behind and board the Hogwarts express along with Hugo, secretly whom was her favorite cousin. She entered the great hall and even though from hearing the stories her cousins had told her about it, she thought it was even more magnificent than expected. Her name was called to come greet her fate with the sorting hat. Everyone in the hall became silent awaiting where the last Potter would be placed. Soon enough the hat loudly declared that she would be a perfect fit in Hufflepuff. As soon as this decision was made the Hufflepuff table stood up and cheered. She smiled and sat down with them. James and Albus caught her vision from the corner of her eye and they gave her a reassuring smile, letting her know that they were happy for her. Now with this last child, the Weasley-Potter bloodline had span across each of the four houses and every parent couldn't have been more proud of their son or daughter.
And as for the bet, George Weasley turned out to be the winner as he had correctly guessed ten of the children's houses with Ron coming in a close second by predicting eight. George never passes up the opportunity to gloat about his grand winnings, especially around his youngest brother.
