Prom night
Ch1
"Greetings new and old students at Hogwarts, Welcome to a new year of learning and adventures I'm am of course Professor Dumbledore the headmaster. In just a few moments our first years will come through those doors and be sorted into one of your houses. Now I'm sure you all remember when you were first years, how scared you were and how insecure some of you were and I'd like you all too graciously welcome the first years into your houses." The headmaster paused looking particularly at the slytherin table and then said "Professor McGonagall we're ready for the first years to come in and be sorted." Dumbledore sat back down. In a few minutes Professor McGonagall came back leading a group of frightened looking kids into the room. The sorting hat and stool were placed in the middle of the room expectantly. The old hat opened it's eyes and began to sing:
Oh students of Hogwarts do not be afraid
I'm only here to sort you into you houses.
I am the Hogwarts sorting hat, just put me on, and
I tell you where you belong.
You might belong In Gryffindor where you won't any mouse;
These Gryffindor students are as brave a lions
And will always stand up for what they believe in.
You might belong in Ravenclaw where you won't any slackers there;
Those Ravenclaw students are hard workers
And full of wit they always know the right way to go.
Or you might belong in Hufflepuff where you
Won't find any jerks there; Hufflepuff students are just and
Loyal they can always be trusted in a bind.
Last but certainly not least you might belong in Slytherin
Where you won't find any good-doers there; Slytherin
Students are sly and cunning they will always speak
There mind so if your for some good fun
Slytherin might soot your need.
Those are the four houses now just slip
Me on you head and let me tell you where you OT to be.
The whole school erupted into applause and Professor McGonagall proceeded to call the first years forward. "Green Melanie" A small girl with blonde hair and green eyes stepped forward and slipped the hat on.
"Gryffindor" the hat shouted and the table on the far right began to applaud. A young man of 17 with jet black hair and glasses stood to shake the young girl's hand.
"Hello, welcome to Gryffindor, I'm Harry Potter and these are my best friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley" Harry said holding out his hand. The young girl gasped and looked up at Harry's forehead to see if he really was Harry Potter.
"Um Hi I'm Melanie Green, I can't believe I'm meeting you, wow and you two are his best friends yeah I herd of you guys you're the one who beat McGonagall's chess set you must be really good. And you are the smartest witch of you whole class and you made head girl wow I'm very pleased to meet you." Melanie said shaking each of their hands.
"Shh, sit down the sorting is almost over" Dean Thomas said indicating to the last student to be sorted.
"Blaker, Kenneth" Professor McGonagall said and she rolled up the scroll.
"Slytherin" the hat shouted after a minute. The whole hall shouted and applauded as Dumbledore stood up to announce the food.
"Welcome new students I hope you enjoy your journey through Hogwarts, I have an announcement to make but it will wait till after dinner so dig in." Dumbledore waved his wand and sat down. Food of all kinds appeared on the table and the feast started.
"Wow I have never seen so much food before." Melanie whispered to Hermione.
"Yeah there is a lot of food here I bet the house elves are exhausted from all the work they had to put in" Hermione frowned at the thought.
"There are house elves here, wow I have always wanted to see a house elf." Melanie said excitedly.
"Oh you never see them its part of their job to remain unseen they mostly stay in the Kitchen during the day" Hermione said to the first year.
"Oh, well maybe I can get to the Kitchen, do you know where it is?" the young girl asked but before Hermione could answer Harry claimed her attention.
"What do you think Dumbledore's announcement is maybe were hosting the Twizard Tourment again or something this time I can enter it legally without help." Harry said excitedly
"Harry it can't be the Twizard Tourmnet because that only happens every 100 years. I don't know what it is but maybe it Hogwarts is hiding something again." Hermione informed Harry. For the remainder of dinner the trio discussed what the announcement could be. Finally when the plates had been cleared and whisked off Dumbledore stood up and silence fell over the Great Hall.
"Here comes another year of Hogwarts, with new students coming in there will also be the students who are leaving our graduating class. So in honor of this years graduating class the staff and I have decided to hold a Prom which will take place at the end of the year. There will be special trips to either Hogsmaid or to a shop in London to get new dresses and dress robes. Our very own Head girl Misses Hermione Granger and Our Head Boy Ron Weasley will be in charge of decorating the Great Hall for the dance.
And now off to bed with you, Prefects please lead the first years to the dorms." Dumbledore said dismissing the students.
