THE SORTING HATS MISTAKE

Rose's POV

Last chapter:

Suddenly, our boat lurches forward and we are all tossed out of the little boat.

'ARGH!' I hear Dom scream. I squeal. Lorcan and Lysander gasp in shock and fear. We were all thrown under the surface into the murkiness of the lake. I squeeze me eyes shut and concentrate on breathing bubbles. I feel myself sinking slowly. Geez. These robes are really heavy. I've stopped blowing bubbles. I'm just floating. Helplessly. This is it. This is how I'm going to die. Before I've even gotten into the castle of Hogwarts itself. I was going to drown in the lake of the giant squid. Speaking of which, should've gotten my out of here before I could say 'Quidditch'. I've completely given up on surviving this. Until...a long, squishy tentacle wrapped around my waist. I open my eyes in shock and see two very big black eyes looking at me. I close my eyes and fall back slowly. And then, everything went black.

'ROSE!'

'Oh my God.'

'ROSIE!'

'Did you see the squid? It was wrapped around her!'

'ROSE CAN YOU HEAR ME?' I hear so many voices. Arrgh! My head. 'ROSIE? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Answer me.' I squeeze whosever hand I'm holding. 'Dom?' I croak. 'No. It's Al. Rosie, Dom's gone to get your spare set of robes. How are you feeling?' Al? ALBUS? As in my cousin. As in my 'best friend'? 'Albus why are you here?' I ask annoyed. After all he's done to me in the space of a few short hours, and now he decides to come to the rescue? I'm not having any of that. 'I'm here because it was my boat that hit yours. You were under there for almost three minutes! Dom came up first and started yelling at me-' (so she should) '-and then the two twins came up together clutching each other for dear life. And you still hadn't came up. I swear Scorp and Chase were about to jump in after you! I was freaking out the whole time!' I look at him carefully. Study his face before hugging him like theres no tomorrow. 'Who's Chase?' I whisper. 'Chase Zabini? Oh, he's one of Scorpius' mates. And now mine!' Naaw. He was so excited I couldn't help but to forgive him. 'Oh Al! I missed you the whole train ride!' Immediately he pulls back and looks at me with big guilty eyes. 'Rosie. I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to leave you by yourself. Then James and Fred came looking for me and yelled their lungs out because of how upset you were. I didn't even think! I was just so caught up and interested in Scorp's family I totally forgot! Please forgive me!' I looked at him for maybe three seconds. 'Of course I forgive you Al! Your my best friend!' I hug him again. Dom appears and says , 'Rosie! I'm so glad you're okay! Here are your spare robes! Vicky will show us where the girls bathroom is. Oh and Professor McGonagall is going to delay the sorting by five minutes! So lets go, go, go!' I nod and we run up into the school. 'Over here!' Vicky calls. We sprint over to her and she guides us into the bathroom. 'Okay change Rosie!' Vicky exclaims. I rush into a spare toilet, rip off my damp and freezing cold robes and pull my fresh, dry and warm ones on. I come out from the bathroom and Vic immediately squeals. 'What is it Vic?' She covers her eyes and then peek out. 'YOUR HAIR!' I subconsciously put a hand to feel my very wet and damp hair. Vic mutters a spell under her breath, and almost instantly my hair is dry and the locks of red hair are looking very bouncy and fresh. I turn to face her. 'Vicky. Where did you learn that?' She shrugs and says, 'mum taught me a thing or two about hair spells.' She blushes furiously. Dom starts laughing so hard that she falls to the ground. 'DOM! VIC! THE SORTING!' Dom's head snaps up and looks at Vicky. They nod, and grab my arm. We were sprinting to the-what was it called?- 'the great hall' Vic finishes my thought. She leaves us with Al, Chase and Scorpius. Professor McGonagall turns to us and says, 'good you're both here. And Miss Weasley?' Dom pants a little after the run, before answering, 'Victoire went in the great hall Professor.' McGonagall nods curtly and ushers all the first years into the Great Hall. When we reach the front of the Great Hall, she says,'you may wait here, until Professor Ralm comes.' She walks over to the headmasters chair and sits down. Then a young looking man who must've been Professor Ralm comes over with an extremely old looking hat and a stool. 'Let the sorting hat song begin!'

Why hello there my dear friends,

Have you come from afar?

Do you wish to learn a spell or two,

Before you life will end?

But before you start learning,

And I'm sure you are yearning,

To know where you will be sorted,

And to where you will succeed.

You could be a Ravenvclaw,

As smart as can be.

And always going to be the cleverest,

Love learning and be free.

Or you could be a Hufflepuff,

More loyal then the rest,

They will never be second best,

And be patient until they succeed.

Gryffindor is where you might belong,

Courage is strong within you,

And you're daring, have a brave heart,

So go join the throng.

Last but not least,

There's sly old Slytherin.

The most cunning of them all,

But do not release their inner beast.

They may be devious,

But believe me,

Slytherin is where you might want to be.

The sorting hat finished his song, and everyone in the Great Hall erupted in applause. I couldn't help but smile as well and cheer along with everyone else. 'Very well! Settle down, settle down! AND NOW...time for the sorting!' Everyone starts cheering and clapping. 'Ainsley, Liam.'

'HUFFLEPUFF!'

Ten minutes later..

'Malfoy, Scorpius.'

'SLYTHERIN!' The whole Slytherin erupted in cheers. Another Malfoy.

Five minutes later..

'Potter, Albus.' The whole room goes silent as the son of the chosen one walks up to the hat.

'SLYTHERIN!' The whole room gasps. WHAT? AL? IN SLYTHERIN? Al smiles nervously and walks over to the Slytherin table. Then. Lots and lots of cheers from the Slytherin's. Umm. Al? Oh geez I think the hat made a mistake.

Two minutes later..

'Weasley, Dominique.' I give her an encouraging smile. She returns it weakly.

'SLYTHERIN!' Silence. Again. DOM? IN SLYTHERIN? What is going on? Thats a Potter and a Weasley in Slytherin! I know my name is next. Oh god here it comes.

'Weasley, Rose.' I walk up nervously to the stool and sit on it. The hat goes on my head and immediately the hats thoughts go into my mind. 'Hmmm. Another Weasley? Related to the Potter's? Hmm yes. I see a lot of courage in you.' He's going to put me in Gryffindor! 'Very smart as well. Loyal and hmmm whats that? A hint of cunning in you. No. I don't think Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw will do. Hmmm, Gryffindor? Or Slytherin? Better be...SLYTHERIN!' Silence. Another Weasley. In SLYTHERIN? OH MY GOD...I'M NOT IN GRYFFINDOR? I'm a Slytherin. I see James. Fred. Molly. Lucy. Roxanne. Victoire. All of my cousins looking at me. I smile at them. They don't offer me anything in return. They cringe and turn away. I feel tears in my eyes. I fight them back and head to towards the Slytherin table who can't believe what just happened. Two Weasley's. One Potter. This never has happened. The sorting hat has made THREE mistakes. Then. Uproar with the Slytherin's. 'WE GOT POTTER! WE GOT TWO WEASLEY'S! WOOP WOOP! SUCK ON THAT GRYFFINDOR!' I laugh and sit next to Dom and girl I have never seen before but is obviously a first year as well. I turn to her and say, 'Hi, I'm Rose Weasley. What's your name?' The girl with short blonde hair, cut into a stylish pixie cut replies, 'Hey, I'm Belle. Belle Wood. Is it strange being in Slytherin? When all your family is Gryffindor?' I nod. 'Same. All of my family is in Gryffindor as well. My dad is Oliver Wood, he was captain of the Gryffindor and keeper. Now he expects me to be a keeper, which I do play. Do you play Quidditch?' I'm a little stunned by her question but answer it anyway. 'Yes, I'm a chaser. I'm going to try out in a couple of years!' Belle smiles. 'Me too! But what makes being in Slytherin hard is that I haven't got any friends here.' I give her a hug and say, 'would you like to be my friend? My cousin Albus and Dom won't mind!' She looks at me with startling brown eyes. 'Really?' I nod. 'That would be awesome! Thank you Rose!' We laugh and I introduce her to Al and Dom. I can already tell Al has a thing for her. Dom loves her hair and is going on and on about how pretty she is! Wow. This is awesome. 'Can you believe it? We are the first from our family in Slytherin! This ought to be exciting!' I say bursting with happiness. I am already unique! We are the unique ones from the family! 'Yes! Al and I were just saying that! The look on James' face when Al became a Slytherin! AND Vic's face when I became a Slytherin! This is going to be really fun!' Dom's face was really bright. She looked so pretty. 'Oh and guys this is Scop. Scorpius Malfoy.' Al says introducing him to us. 'Yes. I believe we met on the train. I'm Rose in case you can't remember.' I don't say it coldly or nicely. He looks startled with beautiful grey and blue eyes. Whoa. He is cute! 'I do remember and I do feel terrible. And please call me Scorp.' I nod and so does Belle and Dom. 'I'm Dominique. But call me Dom.' He nods, taking the information all in. 'And I'm Belle!' Belle puts in happily. We turn our attention back to the sorting.

'Yolande, Caitlin.'

'GRYFFINDOR!'

'Yuvange, Leo.'

'RAVENCLAW!'

'Zabini, Chase.'

'SLYTHERIN!' I applaud each new member of each house politely. I can see out of the corner of my eye, that Al and Scorpius are really happy about Chase becoming a Slytherin. So was I. He was kinda cute!

'Let the feast BEGIN!' Professor Mcgonagall exclaims.

This year was going to be fun!
