Hello! I'm Tori, for anyone of you who might not know me if there are any of you at all. If you happen to find yourself in a Bones spree mood stroll on over to my profile and you'll find more stories you can read and hopefully enjoy. And here is the second chapter...


After two and a half hours of questions, laughing, and eating food with the forty galleons Booth had, the group of six heard a knock on their cart, looking up Seeley saw that is was Cam and Lance.

"Hey Cam! Lance good to see you again." Seeley smiled.

"You know them Seeley?" Tempe asked her new found friend.

Lance and Cam turned to him at the same time and asked "You let her call you Seeley?"

He rolled his eyes and laughed. "Yeah, why don't you guys join us."

Lance looked to Cam. "I'll go get our bags from my cart."

Cam nodded and sat down next to Seeley, as he gave her a smile. "What?"

Seeley laughed. "You've been sitting with him, Arastoo and his girls now have you?"

"What are you kidding? I got crowded so I went to find you, I stumbled up Lance and Arastoo talking and happened to drop in, then Arastoo went to follow the girls." Cam rolled her eyes, annoyed.

Seeley made a pout face. "Aw poor Cam."

Lance came back just to see Cam smack him hard in the chest that got an 'ow' from Seeley in response. Lance placed the trunks above the heads.

Just after placing the trunk, Angela tugged on the boy. "You can sit next to me."

"Okay." Lance blushed as Jack burst into laughter.

Cam elbowed Seeley in the side. "Well introduce us, you big meathead."

"Meathead?" Tempe asked a little bit uncomfortable at how this girl was treating her friend.

"Right. Um Cam and Lance, this is Angela Montenegro, Jack Hodgins, Zack Addy, Tori Brennan and Tempe Brennan." He said with a smile looking to her.

"And your friends?" Tori asked politely.

"This is Lance-" Seeley hadn't caught the boy's last name.

"Sweets." Lance said.

"And this is Camille Saroyan, an old family friend." Seeley laughed nervously.

Tempe snaked her arm into between the space between Seeley's arm and his torso, moving closer to him. He looked over and blushed, not complaining at the situation but not knowing the motive of it either.

"So, what houses are you all hoping to be?" Lance asked, perking up.

"Ravenclaw, it's where the smart kids go." Jack said.

"I am smart." Zack added.

"Besides, Zack'll go wherever I go." Jack tapped his brother.

"Ravenclaw is okay, but Seeley and I here are going to be Gryffindors, aren't we?" Cam nudging his shoulder.

"My mom said I'd probably be a Gryffindor as well. What about you, Tempe?" Angela asked.

Before Tempe could answer, Tori stepped in. "We Brennan's are Slytherin blood."

Seeley looked to Tempe and swallowed. "Slytherin huh?"

Tempe shrugged. "I guess if it's in our blood we can't avoid it. But I sure would like the choice. Ravenclaw seems the best bet for me."

Seeley turned to the starter of the question. "You didn't say what house you wanted to be in, Lance."

Lance twiddled his thumbs. "I don't have a clue. I don't really fit in with any."

"Well what houses were your parents in?" Zack turned down the line to ask the boy.

"I don't know." Lance hung his head.

"What do you mean you don't know? They never told you?" Seeley asked.

"I don't know who my parents are." Lance huffed.

The rest of the seven kids turned to each other, and then all let out a simultaneous 'oh'. Zack turned his head out the window and sighed. "We're almost there guys, we better change into our robes."

The eight kids all got up and managed to get to the bathrooms, changed, and seated just as the school came into sight. As they loaded off the train and into the boats, Seeley felt the need to stay right next to Tempe.

Once they reached the doors outside the Great Hall, Tempe felt herself turn to Seeley. She felt him place a hand on her shoulder and whisper words of encouragement.

She turned to her cousin. "What house do you think Russ got sorted into this morning?"

Tori tried to look inside the door. "Look for him when we get in there."

Tempe's older brother Russ had been a new kid going into his fourth year so he was flown by broom over to get sorted early rather than in front of everyone.

As the pile of first years moved into the Great Hall and down the walkway where the ending was a hat on a stool, Tempe looked around the room for her brothers face. And sure enough he was sitting under the green banner.

"Slytherin." Seeley whispered behind her ear.

"That's my brother over there." She pointed and his eyes moved to the older boy.

The group stopped at the end of the lower level and in front of them were steps in which led up to a single hat lying there on a stool, they watched it sing a song and then the professor began to instruct what went on. She began calling out names, but they didn't pay much attention until one they heard was called.

"Angela Montenegro!" Tempe watched as the girl happily climbed up the steps and sat herself on the stool and the hat was placed on her curly dark brown hair.

"Ah yes. Interesting. Gryffindor!" The hat called and the group underneath the red banner cheered loudly.

Seeley listened for names that he had known before. Rebecca, Genny, and Olivia had all gotten into Hufflepuff. While Hannah got into Ravenclaw. As more names were called off he could tell Tempe got more anxious.

"Tori Brennan" Tempe nearly had a heart attack when she heard her last name but she watched her cousin proudly walk up and sit on the chair.

The hat was barely near her head when it called out. "Slytherin!"

Tori happily ran to the table and sat down next to Russ. Tempe watched as they turned their heads and had a quick conversation and then saw Tori pointing in her direction and then saw her brother wave at her.

"Jack Hodgins." Tempe's head snapped back towards the professor.

Jack hurried his way up to the stool and when the hat was placed on his head it took a while. "Ah yes. This will be difficult. I suppose I'll put you in Gryffindor!"

Jack looked quite confused as he made his way off the stool and over to the table under the red banner. He of course took seat next to Angela and she gave another thumbs up.

More and more names went off as Seeley continued to listen. That one girl named Jessica, Wendell, and Vincent had all been in Ravenclaw.

"Jared Booth." Seeley's head managed to move with a satisfying crack.

He watched his brother proudly walk up and sit on the stool. The hat croaked. "Ravenclaw!"

Seeley looked confused but not as much as his brother did as he followed his way down and plopped into a seat next to Hannah.

"Cam Saroyan." Seeley watched his friend drag herself up.

"Gryffindor!" The hat croaked.

She ran down the steps, and sat proudly next to Jack and Angela, he still got the thumbs up from the brunette and decided just to focus on the next set of names.

"Seeley Booth." His back stood straight up, as did the entire first years.

He looked around as if needed confirmation for his name, and slumped up the stairs onto the stool. He looked directly at Tempe as the hat was placed on his head. "Gryffindor!"

He sighed, and went to go join his friends. All that needed to happen was Zack, Tempe, and Lance get into Gryffindor and his year would be perfect.

"Zack Addy." Zack looked at his older brother under the red banner.

Jack tried to tell him it was going to be okay, but he knew Zack Addy was not a courageous kid, he would be separated from his brother and the hat only made this realization worse as it was placed on his head.

"Hm, where to go. Where to go. Not much courage, a lot of knowledge, very loyal, and so much pride. That's where you'll go. Slytherin!" The hat yelled.

Seeley's eyes widened with shock. The dorky shy boy was a Slytherin. He watched as the boy slowly moved his way over to the Slytherin table and he sat down next to Tori.

But Seeley's thoughts were now all on Tempe. If Zack was a Slytherin, she couldn't be one too, could she? Well it was in her blood. Her brother and her cousin are Slytherins.

"Lance Sweets!" Seeley had forgotten about his other friend for a moment but watched the boy nervously climb up the steps and sit in the chair, starting to shake his leg anxiously.

"Gryffindor!" The hat croaked.

Lance smiled and made his way down the steps to sit next to Booth on the one side. He started to talk to Jack across the table. Seeley kept his eyes on Tempe though.

A few other names had passed like Andrew, Arastoo, and Daisy had all gotten into Hufflepuff. And the boy who preferred to be called Fisher joined Zack in Slytherin.

There were three students left when Seeley heard her name. "Tempe Brennan"

Seeley shushed the entire Gryffindor table, and the Slytherin had fell silent as well. As she climbed the steps and sat on the stool the hat didn't speak for several minutes and that caused the other houses to shush.

"Hm. Extremely intelligent, very loyal to say the least, courage is strong as is pride." The hat mused.

Please don't make me be a Slytherin, please. She thought in her head.

"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted.

Seeley and the rest of their friends burst into clapping and stood up as well. The other two students had gotten into Slytherin but he didn't care, he and most of his friend were sitting at the Gryffindor table.
