DISCLAIMER:: I do NOT own Harry Potter, and I am not making any money off of this 1::
Thankfully Voldemort had been defeated last year, now for everyone at Hogwarts they could get on with the next year. for Harry Potter and the rest of the 7th years at Hogwarts, they weren't expecting to hear what professor McGonagall was saying.
After the sorting hat had sorted the last first year, instead of Dumbledore getting up and welcoming everyone, McGonagall stood and walked behind the podium and addressed the student body. "everyone I know last year was hard, but now we are entering a new age, and by saying so, we have decided to welcome to our school, ten students from an American wizarding school"
Gasps of awe were herd throughout the great hall "now if you will all be willing to welcome them with respect, they will also be sorted into houses, and all of them will be in the 7th year class" some groans were herd along with cheers from some of the 7th years "now lets welcome them" she said with a smile.
The doors to the great hall opened showing a line of ten students outside the door, they all walked down the space between he Ravenclaw and Gryffindor table. They all stood in front facing the students, McGonagall walked behind them with the sorting hat and spoke "now when the hat sorts you i want you to go to that houses table and sit with the 7th years, I expect them to guide you to where they are, and show you around the castle"
She stood behind the first student a boy with shaggy brown hair and blue eyes, she placed the hat on his head "Hufflepuff" the hat shouted and he walked over to the table.
McGonagall did this with the rest of the student until their was one left standing, a girl with medium length wavy black hair with a dark blue streak in it, and she had light blue eyes, McGonagall placed the hat on her head "Gryffindor" it stated.
She walked to the Gryffindor table where all the students were cheering and smiling Hermione Granger, one of the 7th year Gryffindors walked up to her and guided her to where she, Ron, and Harry were sitting.
"hi I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron Weasley" she said pointing to the boy with ginger hair "and this is Harry Potter" she said pointing to the boy with black hair, and glasses "and you are ?" she asked the new girl "I'm Sarah Mahoney, it's nice to meet you all"
