First Year: Sorting
Dumbledore stood up and raised his hands above his head and the Great Hall fell silent. "This year," he said, "We will be following an old tradition here at Hogwarts. We shall be making a fifth house where only those students that possess the qualities of all four of the Hogwarts houses will be sorted in to. Now, this house will have no upper years or lower years, seeing as ancient law forbids it. This will be called Omnes. Let the sorting begin."
Professor McGonagall stepped forward and unrolled a long sheet of parchment and said, "When I call your name, step forward, and I shall place the sorting hat on your head and you shall be sorted. Amidala-Potter, Kyla." Kyla stepped forward and as she was walking up to be sorted, she glanced at the head table. The headmaster gave her an encouraging smile and she gave him a slight nod back. She noticed Gilderoy Lockhart and wanted to throw up a little bit in her mouth. Then she saw the professor sitting next to Lockhart. He was all dressed in black and wore a scowl on his face. 'Well,' Kyla thought to herself, 'he's and interesting one.' She turned and took a seat on the stool and the hat was placed on her head. 'Well, what do we have here?' the hat said. 'You have an interesting mind indeed. You possess a fierce loyalty that would rival any Hufflepuff, so I could put you there. But, you possess the brains that any good Ravenclaw should have. I see many struggles and triumphs in your soul, like a true Gryffindor. However, your cunning is amazing. I should just put you in Slytherin. But, I sense that you would not be happy there. Better be… OMNES!" The hat was pulled off of her head and she went to sit at the table behind the head table. As she was walking, she gave the dark dressed man a look, and she saw that he had an eyebrow raised at her. She smirked before she gave him a small wink and proceeded to take a seat. She was shortly joined by her sister where they spent the rest of the feast whispering to each other and their new house mates.
The feast was one of the best Kyla had ever had. Her housemates were very interested in her and her sisters past. She explained how they were related to Harry Potter, not by blood, but by adoption. Their birth mother, whom Kyla despised due to several reasons, had had the girls when she was only eighteen. Not wanting the responsibility, she had wanted to give the girls up for adoption. James and Lily had accepted. The adoption had been finalized shortly before they had died. However, before they had been able to get them moved in with the Potters, they were killed. Their mother had ended up keeping the girls then. She had been a terrible mother in Kyla's eyes and she hated her. After her death, the twins were separated and Kyla and Kayla were sent to live with the Dursley's. After a year of living with the Dursley's, they went to stay with their godparents, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. They had helped Kyla deal with a couple of things. They also feed her love of knowledge and books. They had told her all about Hogwarts and she had been so excited to come.
At the end of the feast, Dumbledore rose and released everyone for bed. He turned to his own house and told them, "I shall be leading you upstairs to your common room where you will meet the other heads of houses." The elite house rose, and followed Dumbledore through the castle to their dorm room. In the common room, everyone took a seat while Dumbledore explained the rules while they would be staying there. When he was finished, he gestured the four heads of houses to come in and introduce themselves. Professors Flitwick, Sprout, and McGonagall all introduced themselves and then Dumbledore introduced Professor Snape, who had walked in late, to the house. The man looked furious; though it probably had to do with the fact he had just caught Harry and Ron with a flying car. The students all got up to meet the professors and Kyla knew that after meeting Severus Snape, he was going to be her challenge.
