Author's Note: Hi, so this story obviously has DH spoilers. So... yeah. BEWARE, I guess. this story is basically a bunch of semi-related one shots that take place in Teddy's seventh year. Many of them revolve around thet kids in Teddy's year, though there are many. I tried to give a complete Hogwarts veiw. I hope you enjoy it. :)))))

Sort Of There

Teddy and Greg looked nervously at the short line of students. Philomel had been right, there were a lot less of them than any other age group. In fact there were only seventeen students in the entire line. Philomel was at the very front of the line, looking excited as ever, with her new found fried, a tall-ish blonde girl.

During the train ride Teddy had speedily informed Greg about many aspects of magical life. All of which fascinated Greg and also made him feel a little more at ease. Throughout the trip Philomel had gone to the bathroom numerous times, and when Greg has said he didn't know how someone could pee so much, Teddy had laughed and said she just wanted to find some other girls. Evidently Philomel had put up a bit of a fuss when her mother and Teddy's grandmother had told them to stick together.

After the sorting hat sang a song they were ready to sort. Confidently the large St. Nicholas like man stood and read off their names. The more Greg thought about it the less the man reminded him of St. Nicholas, but rather a large, well, slug…

Emma Burke was the first to be sorted. She was the tall-ish blonde with whom Philomel had been covering. Emma's hair was in a single pony tail, which lay straight down her back. She gave a slightly buck toothed smile to another blonde girl in the crowd, as the hat was placed on Emma's head. After a moment, the hat roared out "HUFFLEPUFF", and Emma headed off to the table where her sister sat.

Colbert Corning was the next called. His hair was so short it was hard to tell what color it was. Colbert what sort, but stocky and Teddy informed Greg in a quick whisper that Colbert had "the build of a beater,". His face in a scowl Colbert waited a moment before being sorted into Ravenclaw.

Martin and Samuel Deplley-Fisher were the next two called. Both had large moles on their left cheeks, were very skinny and had large noses. Their black hair was parted on opposite sides. They were both quickly sorted into different houses. Martin found himself a member of Ravenclaw while Samuel became a Gryffindor. Both seemed rather proud of themselves, giving each other a brotherly nod.

The next boy called walked slowly up to the hat, trying not to trip on his too long robes. He failed and his pale skin turned red bright red. Donald Duncan's year was not, it seemed, off to a good start. Nonetheless the Hufflepuff table screamed with delight when he was sorted in there.

Valerie Finker was short, heavy and generally disheveled looking. Her face was in a odd formation that made it look like the light blonde girl was going to throw up at any moment. Due to her size she had a bit of a hard time sitting on the stool, which looked as though it might break under her girth. Slytherin gave a less than enthusiastic welcome to Miss Finker.

A girl with very wavy red-ish hair was the next to be called forward. Eloise Jenkins smiled broadly as she sat on the stool. It took almost two minutes for the hat to sort her, during which she smiled the whole time, swinging her legs wistfully. When she was finally sorted Eloise practically skipped over to the Ravenclaw table, before realizing she heading towards the wrong table. Quickly she redirected herself towards the Gryffindor table.

Teddy Lupin was sorted into Gryffindor as was Gregory, though he'd been given a choice between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.

Marlene Overhill was terribly shaky and resembled a small white mouse as she made her way to the hat and stool. The St. Nicholas Slug man gave her a large friendly smile, and she nervously smiled back as the floppy hat was put on her heard. Her head was so small that the hat slid past her nose, not showing her pale skin - only her pale hair. After a brief moment it was announced the Marlene was a Ravenclaw. Still shaking she went to the table.

Standing tall, with his nose slightly in the air, Calvin Pride with his skinny arms and skinny legs walked to the stool. He gave a large toothy smile to the Slug person before sitting down, Calvin's curly mop of pumpkin colored hair flopping into his face. He was sorted into Slytherin.

Jason Quinn a blonde boy with a slight smile on his face went up to the stool and sat down. His hair was neatly trimmed, and he looked very out of place with the hat on. Placed into Ravenclaw he made his way over to the table, sitting down next to Martin Deplley-Fisher, who stuck out his hand to be shaken.

Everett Sloan reminded Greg of Philomel, except male. Average height and fit, he too had pale skin, dark eyes, dark hair and dark freckles. Greg could practically sense the waves of pride, knowledge and awkward friendliness coming from Everett. The sorting hat took very little time to decide that Everett was a Hufflepuff. Everett sat down next to Donlad Duncan, leaving Emma Burke quite alone on her side of the table, though Greg noticed her sister was trying to catch her eye. Emma was focused on the sorting hat.

And when Hartley Smith, a very tall, very thin boy with an angular face and scruffy hair sat down to be sorted, Greg's attention was on the sorting hat as well. Smith was sorted into Gryffindor, sitting down next to Eloise, who was still smiling.

Philomel was sorted into Hufflepuff and after a quick glance at Teddy and Greg, sat down next to Emma Burke. The pair seemed to be instant friends.

Jane Wood - a brunette with a good natured face and blue eyes - was sorted into Gryffindor, but not before Teddy informed Greg that Jane was the daughter of Oliver Wood (a famous keeper). Both of her parents had played quidditch at Hogwarts, in the same house as Teddy's godfather. From what Greg could make out anyway. Teddy gave her a smile as she sat down across from them. It was obvious they knew each other and liked each other more than Philomel and Teddy did.

Eunice Zyruply was sorted into Ravenclaw, with her black hair in two thick braids. She looked at the ceiling as she sat down next to Marlene Overhill, who seemed relieved to have another girl in Ravenclaw.
