The Fellowship of Hogwarts
Chapter One; Sorting and the Likewise
Author Notes: Alright, the last names might be a bit corny. What was I to do? Most of them don't have clear last names... *looks innocent*

Gandalf was careful to hide his smile when he noticed, one by one, the folk he'd brought to this world entered the Great Hall. Two seats to his left was the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. Dumbledore was an old friend of Gandalf's, and he'd agreed to the methods that he'd used to bring the surplus of heroes to Hogwarts.
The sorting was just about to begin. Gandalf grinned as he noted that his thirteen students would also be sorted. As a group, for that was how they'd gathered themselves, they glanced nervously around the room.
Professor McGonagall, who also knew who these new students really were, noted their discomfort with a curt nod. She placed a stool just before the teacher's table and on it went a brown leather hat that appeared to have been torn and resewn many a time.
"Now, you'll come up here one at a time, as I call you, and I'll place this hat on your head. You'll then be sorted into your houses. There's Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin all together. Now, on with it." she explained. She turned to the hat, who began to sing a silly little song that seemed to explain each houses attributes, and caused the older students a bit of a laugh. Minerva McGonagall didn't seem too happy.
Gandalf watched with interest as she drew a long parchment from her robes.
"Isildur, Aragorn."
Aragorn took a deep breath and steeled his nerves as he came to the front of the group. He walked up the steps with the dignity of a king... or a future king, Gandalf told himself. He sat down on the stool and the Professor placed the hat on his head.
Almost immediately, it bellowed "GRYFFINDOR!"
The Gryffindor table broke into applause at their first new member. Aragorn grinned and moved to join his house.
"Theoden, Eomer."
A bit less brashly than Aragorn, he swaggered up to the stool.
"HUFFLEPUFF."
"Undomiel, Arwen."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Undomiel, Elladan."
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Undomiel, Elrohir."
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Greenleaf, Legolas."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Took, Peregrin."
"HUFFLEFPUFF!"
"Gondori, Boromir."
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Gondori, Faramir."
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Brandybuck, Merryweather."
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Baggins, Frodo."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Thoeden, Eowyn."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Gamgee, Samwise."
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
The overnervous First Years were next, but they didn't take too long. With the sorting over, and Gandalf far from surprised of any of the placements, Professor Dumbledore was on his feet.
"Welcome, everyone, to another year at Hogwarts. We'll be happy to welcome our newest Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Gandalf Grey."
The announcement of the new teacher was met with varying amounts of clapping.
"Now, before we begin our meal, announcements. I'd like to explain the arrival of a group of new students, and I don't mean our first years. A group of thirteen students has arrived as transfer students. As you've noticed, they've just been sorted into your ranks. I hope you'll make them feel welcome here."
The thirteen glanced nervously around at their peers, but they were met warmly enough.
"Now. I'm starved, as I imagine you all are. Let the feast begin!"
The golden plates were suddenly lain heavy with food and drink. And the whole of Hogwarts was happy for the time being.
