Hi guys! So, it's been a LONG time since I've written a HP fanfic. Nonetheless, here you go! My friend told me I HAD to make this (ever since I told her about this idea) so I might as well thank her. THANKS!
IMPORTANT NOTICE! PLEASE READ DOWN BELOW!
Now, I need to explain some things in this authors note. So this is YEARS later. Two years (21 years after the war) and they have a new headmaster. I'll make him up. Also the Triwizard Tournament will be that year. If you're confused with anything else, just ask. And this is the year Lily will be sorted too... I have another thing to. I forgot whether Dumbledore gives his speech before or after the Sorting. I'm lending my friend the first book, so I can't actually check. D: Please bear with me. If I make any mistakes, SORRY!
Now read! Please leave a review on your way out too! ;)
"Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had a great summer vacation. It is yet another year, to enjoy and cherish! To all our new students, welcome! To all our our old students, welcome back! Now, before I start with our usual speech, we must do the Sorting! Professor McGonagall, if you shall. But first, the song."
The Sorting Hat suddenly comes to life, and starts singing a song.
"Oh might not like me,
but look beyond what you see.
For am the Sorting Hat!
not a namby little bat.
I will sort you for who you are,
even if you have ugly scars.
There are four Houses before your eyes,
each with a unique surprise.
There's Gryffindor, the daring and brave,
they're more brave than a knight in a cave.
There's Ravenclaw, the intelligent and witty,
there's more in there than a huge city!
There's Hufflepuff, the patient and loyal,
they're unafraid to toil.
And then there's Slytherin, the ambitious and cunning,
get them mad and you'll be running.
Those are the Houses galore!
Be sure to be nice and explore.
But be careful, and be nice,
For surely you may owe them a horrid price."
(Sorry for the horrible song. It's the best I could do! Let's just say everyone liked it and didn't think of it in a terrible way, shall we?
Everyone cheered, and clapped politely.
Professor McGonagall rolls open the scroll with all the first years name. I remember when I was first sorted. Said I was 'another Weasley'. I still haven't figured out if it was an insult or not. She starts of alphabetically, as usual.
"Louis Astec."
He walks up, a nervous wreck. I would've said hi ti him, but I wouldn't be introduced till later.
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
The Hufflepuff house starts cheering. I smirk. Oh how much fun it'll be when I'm introduced.
"Billy Awoodfore."
He walks up, and puts the Sorting Hat on.
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
They cheer, and shoots Lily a look that says hope you're in the same House! I'll be keeping an eye on them...
The time passes by quickly, and we're already at M.
"Parneet Mivanndi!" Professor McGonagall says.
She walks up, flipping her hair to on side. She reminds me of Angelina...oh I miss her...
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Duaa Nazir!"
She walks up, and eagerly jams the Sorting Hat on her head. Just like Hermione. Man, I miss annoying her with my pranks. It was a great time.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Soon, she gets to P.
"Lily Potter."
"Potter?"
"Another one?"
Whispers were carried around the Great Hall. She got even more nervous, but she still went up to the Sorting Hat.
"Hmmm. This is extremely hard. You can do so much in Ravenclaw, yet your daring personality makes me consider Gryffindor."
"Not Hufflepuff, not Hufflepuff." She whispers. I can hear her, me being the person I am.
"Not Hufflepuff, eh? I remember when your father did the same thing as this. Not Slytherin, not Slytherin. Ah, I remember the times. But this is for you. If you mustn't be in Hufflepuff, I think I know where you should go. I think it should be GRYFFINDOR!"
The Sorting Hat shouted out the last part. The whole Gryffindor table shouted in delight. Lily (probably flustered) went down, and went to the Gryffindor table.
"Hugo Weasley."
Suddenly, I heard my nephew's name. (Is it nephew? Review if I'm right or wrong!)
He went up, and put the Hat on. I woner if George told him he had to fight a troll? I remember when we told Ron that. Then he did fight one. Blimey...
"GRYFFINDOR!"
The table cheers, and he walks towards the table.
"Erik Xnelioke."
He goes up, with a glint in his eye. But not the happy type of glint. It's the glint of...evil? I wouldn't know. After all, I am in a not-so-good state...
"SLYTHERIN!"
They cheer, and he goes and sits down.
"Now that we have finished the Sorting, let's feast! But I would like to say a few words. And they are: Linen! Switch! Flower! And Granite! Thanks you!"
He sat down, and food appeared. I miss eating. It was tasty.
I want to go around, looking at the new faces, but I can't. Well, until I'm introduced. I've got to wait until everyone's eaten their fill. Great...
Soon though, all the food has vanished, and the new Headmaster (Adrian von Gretchen) starts his speech. Weird, he's like Dumbledore. Man, I miss him. But then again, I saw him like, two hours ago? I forgot. Way to go...
"Welcome everyone! This year shall be extraordinary. Now I'm not just saying that. As you know, or don't know, Nicolas is taking a vacation. Luckily, we've got a replacement. Everyone, it is my pleasure to introduce the new Gryffindor Ghost. Put your hands together for... FRED WEASLEY!"
That's my cue!
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! Shout-out to my friend (STILL won't give you her name) and I hope you enjoy! Read, Review, Follow and Favourite! I'll try to update, but no promises. So, till I see you again! :D
HP Question of the Day: How did Fred Weasley die?
If you get it, I'll give you a shout-out! :D And if you want anyone in here (e.g Albus Potter) then you can do that to! But only to the person who gets the question right. Happy answering!
