Authors note: hi I hope you like the fanfic. Quite a few of the characters I made up so anything that is not in the books I own (I think) *g* PLEASE review. I mean reviews help so if no one reviews you wont get the next part. J oh and McGonagall Dumbledore and flitwick are the only characters that are them selves, the rest are fathers, mothers, aunties, uncles, grandmothers or grandfathers to the present day characters. Oh and the Remus Lupin in this fanfic is the father to the Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter books. The person who gave this to me (Jenny, her pen name is hedwig) asked me to dedicate this series to Beki (Katrina Snape) who thought of the names, Heather (azari (is that how you spell it?)) who told jenny to post her first fic and Lorraine who is Jenny's best friend. They all come from the uk, and I an the other hand am currently living in switzerland (soon to be florida. Only eight more months). Beki I am so sorry that you got me and Jenns mixed up! J I would also like to honour my mother who was called Cassidy, by using her in character. Oh well you probably have had enough of me blabbing on so I will shut up now. Have fun!
Chapter 2: the sorting
A gasp arose as the students filed into the large entrance hall. Thy followed a tall blond haired, green-eyed woman who introduced herself as Professor Sparkey. Professor Sparkey said that she was the deputy head and charms Professor. They followed her across the flag stoned room for what seemed to be an eternity; they finally reached a door.
"Wait just inside this door in a orderly line, IN silence!" she said looking disapprovingly at Kendra who was muttering to her twin.
"Ah you are Ms. Black, and Ms, Black I assume." She sarcastically remarked
"Yes," Kendra said.
"You would be…," Eliza said
"Correct" they both finished of before bowing low.
All of the people who had sat in the compartment with them exploded into giggles.
"SILENCE!" the angry woman bellowed.
The students went through the door looking shocked at the professor's sudden loss of temper. They saw a stool with a frayed, dirty, old wizard's hat. All of the people in the hall stared at the hat, after a few moments it began to sing:
"Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find,
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts sorting hat,
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The sorting hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you,
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry,
Set Gryffindor's apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuff's are true,
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those at will with learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin,
You'll find your real friends,
Those cunning folk-use any means,
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none),
For I am a thinking cap!"
Everyone applauded, even the first years who were standing agape; When the noise had died down, Professor Sparkey said to the first years "when I call your name, come, sit down and be sorted,"
"Abbot Maria!"
A girl with blond pigtails went up to the chair.
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Black Eliza!"
"GRIFFINDOR!"
A cheer came from the Gryffindor table.
"Black Kendra!"
"GRIFFINDOR!"
An even louder cheer came, mainly because of Eliza.
Several more people went until
"Drewery Aphrodite!"
Albus could see the twins crossing their fingers.
"GRIFFINDOR!"
He was next.
"Dumbledore Albus!"
He went up to the stool and sat down. He placed the hat on his head
"Hum…," said a tiny voice into his ear, "no way Hufflepuff or Slytherin. Ravenclaw? No it has to be GRIFFINDOR!"
The twins and Aphrodite cheered the loudest. By the time he had sat down, much to their disappointment, Romulus had gone to Hufflepuff, but to their great happiness Hufflepuff had got Cornelius Fudge. Gallet Louise became the first Slytherin, and Kent Samantha became the first Ravenclaw. James, Remus, Simon, Cassidy and Bill were Gryffindor, but Minerva became a Ravenclaw. Of course Frederick Snape became a Slytherin.
"Hello I am the headmaster, as most of you will know. Just a few things to say, firstly do not go into the forbidden forest. Secondly Albus Dumbledore I need a word with you about your…" he stopped as he caught a look of Albus that plainly said 'don't tell them.'
Everyone stared at Albus as he stood up and walked slowly out off the hall after the head.
"Albus we need to know the arrangements for…"
