"Black, Sirius"

James grasped Sirius's shoulder for good luck. "Save me a seat at the Gryfindor table." He whispered.

Sirius grinned. He walked over to the stool and put the hat on. Another Black I see. Well, like the rest you'll be in-

"Please not Slytherin. Not Slytherin. I don't want to be with the wretched pureblood lovers." Sirius muttered.

"You don't want to be in Slytherin? That's a first for Black, but I see it now. You're not like the others. I think you will do best in GRYFINDOR!

Sirius beamed as he jumped off the stool. The whole hall went silent. I bet they've never seen a Black in a house other than Slytherin. He glanced at the Slytherin table. All of them had their mouths hanging open. Sirius just beamed as he marched over to the now applauding Gryffindor table.

"Lupin, Remus?"

Remus walked up to the sorting hat very nervous. He glanced at the headmaster. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and leaned forward slightly. Remus sat on the stool and put the hat on.

Ahh, yes. Brilliant mind I see. I should put you in Ravenclaw this very second, but no. I see something else. Remus Lupin, you are the first werewolf I've ever sorted. I have heard about werewolves. They say that the transformations are very painful. And to think you have to go through that pain every month. I know where to put you. You are very brave to go through that Remus. I think you will do the best in GRIFFYINDOR!"

Remus took off the hat and ran down to the table that was now cheering him. Sirius scooted over and patted the seat next to him. Remus felt his heart lift. He might have friends now! he ran over and beamed at Sirius.

"Pettigrew, Peter,"

A plump little boy ran over and shoved the hat on top of his head.

Hmm, very interesting. where to put you. you would do very well is Slytherin, but, I see back here you don't back out of promises or anything, I would say GRYFINDOR! Peter jumped down from the stool and laid the hat down on the stool. He ran to the Gryfindor table and sat across from Remus.

Potter, James?"
James walked up to the stool and sat down. He placed the sorting hat on his head and about five seconds later, GRYFINDOR! James smirked and strolled towards the Gryfindor table. he sat down in the seat across from Sirius where he was pointing.

The Marauders were formed that night as they talked until midnight in the first year dorm.
