The first years sat in the boats going under the castle. Craig, Lucas, Rose and Albus shared a boat.

"I can't wait Neville, I mean Professor Longbottom will be so pleased us, and Professor Lovegood, and Heather, and Jake." Rose grinned.

"Yeah, yeah, the whole Longbottom family, happy to see us." Craig rocked the boat purposely.

"Don't Craig! I'll fall in!" Rose whined.

"Come on Craig, you heard Mum, we're not to get into trouble before we're sorted." Lucas laughed.

"But Dad said not to listen to her!" Craig continued to rock the boat.

"Craig!" Lucas warned.

"Fine!" Craig huffed.

They were standing in the Great Hall in a long line. Craig and Lucas kept nudging each other, but stopped when Professor Carmichal placed the very old and very battered sorting hat on a stool. The muggle-borns gawped when it started to sing. As it sang Luna Lovegood danced around, her face was full of smiles, but Sam, who sat at the Ravenclaw table, was embarrassed. When it stopped Eddie Carmichal stepped forward causing Luna to stop.

"When I call your name," Eddie began, "Come forward and sit on the stool. I will then place the Sorting Hat on your head." Eddie picked up the hat slowly, "Addams, Christine."

A small girl with blonde hair and big blue eyes ran forward. She stumbled up the steps but no-one laughed. The Hat was place upon her head and sat there for a few minutes. Her big blue eyes were focused on the midnight blue ceiling, but she didn't move. The Hat started to twitch as the whole hall watched. A tear sprang to into Christine's eyes and rolled down her soft cheeks.

The Hat seemed to sigh and yelled, "GRYFFINDOR!"

Christine smiled, took off the Hat and ran into the awaiting arms of Saskia Addams, the brunette Albus had seen earlier on the train. The two hugged for a few seconds before a familiar silvery figure joined in. Christine screamed ear piercingly as the figure and Saskia laughed.

"Uncle Fred!" Craig yelled across the hall.

Fred Weasley, the ghost, waved to him, Lucas, Albus and Rose and sat between Paige and her friend at the Ravenclaw table.

"Anderson, Anna." Professor Carmichal sighed.

A chubby girl with black, coarse hair and snakelike green eyes ran forward eagerly. The hat was barely on her head before it screeched Slytherin.

David Arden went to Hufflepuff, Sean Bane to Ravenclaw, Kerry Bones and Emily Boot to Hufflepuff, Sean Carmichal, Timothy Cook and Geena Elkridge to Ravenclaw, Thomas Finch-Fletchley to Hufflepuff, Cameron and Courtney Finningan, as well as Hannah Gill, Tina Graham and Joseph Gray to Gryffindor.

James Jackson was the second Slytherin, Nadine James the fifth Ravenclaw, Jack Jameson the third Slytherin, Cassandra Jones the fifth Hufflepuff, Thomas Jules the sixth Ravenclaw, Alexandra Kimberley the seventh Gryffindor, Jonathan King the fourth Slytherin and Sebastian Kyle the sixth Hufflepuff.

Heather Longbottom, with a scornful look from Neville, went into Ravenclaw, Sara Lovell to Gryffindor, Zafira MacDonald to Ravenclaw, Brandon MacDougall to Slytherin with Scorpius Malfoy, Kyle McKay to Ravenclaw, Madeline Murray, Winnie Mutch and Scarlet Newt in Hufflepuff, Bain Newton and Lucy Nickelson in Ravenclaw, Jack Nicholas in Slytherin, Todd O'Brien and Ashton O'Riley in Ravenclaw, Jessica O'Riley-Smith in Gryffindor, Horace Peters in Slytherin and Gwen Peterson-Jones in Ravenclaw.

When it was Albus' turn Fred stood in between the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor tables and started to whisper loudly to Paige and Fred Jr.

"That's the kid! Albus Potter he is! Hope he's Gryffindor, eh Paige?"

Paige scowled at him so he continued his 'hushed' whispers with a very scared Gwen Peterson-Jones.

"Harry Potter's son, you know. Killed Voldy. The boy who lived. Scar face. You have heard of 'im, right Gwen?"

Gwen nodded quietly as the whole hall was watching.

Professor Carmichal coughed, "We will be forced to ban ALL ghosts from the hall if you don't shut up!"

There was a clang as Peeves fell from the swinging chandelier onto the Hufflepuff table.

"Peeves! How did you get in here?" Professor Carmichal shouted.

"Please sir, Fred Weasley let me in, sir." Peeves said innocently.

"Fred!" Carmichal shouted.

"It weren't me!" Fred protested.

All eyes focused on Fred Weasley Jr., who was trying to escape under the table.

"Fred," Professor Carmichal put his hands on Fred's shoulders to restrain him, "We are only halfway through the sorting and you my friend have already lost five points from Gryffindor and got yourself detention."

"FRED!" the whole of the Gryffindor table moaned.

The Slytherin table cheered.

"Wait 'til I tell your father!" Fred Sr. laughed.

"He'll already know," Fred Jr. sighed, "He's just over there."

"Oh, yeah, hi……George." Fred Sr. waved at his one-eared twin brother.

"Potter, Albus." Professor Carmichal continued.

Albus walked up to the stool and sat on it embarrassed. The Hat sat on his head firmly and he grimaced as it also reminded him of his mothers and father's greatness, and how Harry could have been much greater in Slytherin.

"GRYFFINDOR!" the Hat screamed as there had been no question in the first place.

"Over here Potty!" Fred Jr. yelled and patted a space between him and Piper.

Albus ran to him and sat down. Fred hit his back and Piper and Victoire smiled.

"We knew it!" Fred grinned.

"Quentin, Harry." Professor Carmichal bellowed.

A small blonde boy crept forward. His grey eyes moved round all four tables nervously as he sat on the stool. The boy was put in Gryffindor with Penny Quinn, Nolee Roberts was in Hufflepuff, Gaunt Robinson and Raphael Rodgers in Slytherin, Laetitia Rogers in Ravenclaw, Leslie Richards and Sarah Richardson in Hufflepuff, Hex Riley in Slytherin, Forest Ryder and Bill Samson in Gryffindor, Daniel Smith and Adam and Tia Thomas in Ravenclaw, Robert Thompson in Slytherin, Christopher Thomson, and Joanne Tiffany in Hufflepuff and Janice Turk in Slytherin.

Graham Walker was the 61st first year and he went to Ravenclaw, Louis Walkers and Bradley Walter to Hufflepuff, Tina Waterstone and Alexander Watson to Slytherin and Charles Watt to Hufflepuff.

When it was Craig's turn he sat on the stool, Professor Carmichal placed the hat on his head.

It had been there for merely a second before it called out, "GRYFFINDOR!"

Craig jumped up and ran with the hat on his head deliberately. George, who was slightly faster than his son ran after him and took the hat back. Craig walked off in a sulk.

"Weasley, Lucas." Professor Carmichal couldn't help, but laugh.

Lucas walked to the stool in exactly the same way as his twin and sat on the stool in exactly the same fashion. The Hat was placed upon his head and sat there.

It was sat there for the exact amount of time as Craig's, before yelling, "GRYFFINDOR!"

Professor Carmichal grabbed it off his head before he could go anywhere with it. This left both the twins in a sulk.

"Weasley, Rose." Professor Carmichal was dreading yet another Weasley.

Rose walked up, rather dignified and Professor Carmichal sighed with relief.

Rose was also put into Gryffindor, Natasha Whyte to Slytherin, Chandra Whitehead to Ravenclaw, Kimberly Williamson to Hufflepuff, Kelly Wood and Samia Whyte to Gryffindor, Li Yen and Buddy Young to Hufflepuff and Sandy Young and Mickey Zabini to Slytherin.

When the sorting finished Luna stood up.

"Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am Luna Lovegood, feel free to call me so. I am of course, your headmistress. Before we start the feast, I would like you to know that whatever time of year it was, when I was at Hogwarts I felt safe. I hope you all feel the same."

As she sat down food appeared on the five long tables in abundance.

"Cousins all together, eh Paige?" Fred Jr. laughed loudly.

"You're so mean!" Paige pouted, "Just coz I'm in Ravenclaw."

"You, you made history. The first Weasley not in Gryffindor. We're proud of you." Fred Sr. grinned.

"Heather!" Rose waved down the hall at the tall blonde.

Heather just managed to wave back as Sam had her in a headlock. Fred Jr. nodded to Sam softly and she let go of Heather and Smiled to him.
