Scorpius' POV:
He walked nervously inside of the Great Hall in a straight line with all of the other first years with Rose and Albus behind and in front of him alternatively, he had just met them at the train ride but actually cared for these two people. As they walked over to the side of the room in the lead of Headmistress McGoanagall, they lined up. At the middle of the room, in between the teacher's tables and the podium, stood a small wooden stool with an old hat on top of it, he stared at it intently and muttered to himself: "And what is that old hat supposed to do?" he may've said it a little too loud because he felt Rose tap on his shoulder and an amused Albus turned to face him.
"Are you kidding?" Rose said in a low voice, "That's the sorting hat"
"I know, it just looks so rusty and old…"
"What, so It isn't fancy enough for you?"
"No! I never said that I just…"
As both of them snapped their heads up because the room had gone quiet, they blushed as they realized an amused McGoanagall and Albus staring at them. "Good one mate" Albus said patting Scorpius' shoulder. The headmistress gracefully stood in the podium and began her speech:
"Welcome students to yet another year at Hogwarts, for those who know me and those who don't, my name is Minerva McGoanagall and I'm your headmistress. As you may know, we have a new professor against the dark arts teacher, please welcome Mr. Augustus Blitcherone". He was a petite man with grey hair and a well cared moustache, on top of his nose, a pair of round glasses stood making his eyes look unproportioned by the small size of his face. The students clapped and then the sound died down as she continued her speech "All first years must remember that the forbidden forest is strictly forbidden and so is any nearing of the Whomping Willow and now, may the sorting begin" as the headmistress started reading the names out of a gigantic piece of parchment, Scorpius felt himself shaking, he knew about what people thought about his family and he was scared of what people would think of him., he got some reassurance when Rose gently squeezed his shoulder and Ablus patted him on the back but all of his senses froze as he heard his name being called.
"Malfoy, Hyperion, Scorpius"
He went up to the wooden chair and stared at the double doors of the hall avoiding everyone's glances as the hat was placed on top of his head. Suddenly, he heard a voice.
"Ahhhh if it's a Malfoy I see, similar to your father I suppose"
"I'm not my father" Scorpius whispered mentally
"I see, I see, very intellectual, wise and envious, you always want to reach your goals, to be the best of you, to make your family proud but deep inside you are very afraid, that's why you shall be a SLYTHERIN!" the last word was said strongly as the Slytheryn table erupted in cheers as he stroded and sat in between two boys he did not recognize and stared intently as to see who would go next.
Albus' POV:
He was shaking from head to toe, what if what his brother had told him was true? What if he was in Slytherin and his family hated him just as James, his older brother had told him they would? He felt Rose's hand gently squeeze his and he sighed, getting into a more relaxing positions, feelinh his shoulders slump and his arms dangle by his sides. When he heard his name, all of his confidence came crashing down as he heard his name.
"Potter, Severus, Albus"
He walked clumsily and slumped in the chair in the most ungraceful way he could and felt the hat over his head as he heard a voice.
"OOOH so is it the great Harry Potter's son? Will you go to Gryffindor with the rest of your family or will you thrive elsewhere? I feel like you are greedy and with a great determination, a Slytherin perhaps?
"I don't care which house I'm in, my dad said that he met one of the greatest men in history and he was a Slytherin"
"Very well child, you shall be in SLYTHERIN!" some people look at him wide-eyed as Albus walked towards the Slytherin table with his chin held high, only when he stared at a pale faced James he thought maybe something had gone wrong and as he sat next to Scorpius he said to himself: but Slytherin is a good house, isn't it?
Rose's POV:
As she saw his cousin approaching the Slytherin table she smiled. She wasn't too happy as to see him away from the family but Albus could be whoever he wanted to be. As she sat on the chair with a proud expression, she sat down and heard a voice as soon as the hat was placed on top her head .
"Another Weasley, I see… greatly intelligent, brave, shy and greedy, you would thrive in any house, you know that don't you?"
"You shall place me in however house you wish me to be" Rose recited in her head
"Very well, I think you have your mother's intellectuality, if not more advanced, therefore you shall be in RAVENCLAW!" the great hall erupted in cheers as she walked to the Ravenclaw table with a proud smile plastered on her head as she sat next to her family friend Lysander, who smiled gleefully at her"
This would be a long and interesting couple of years for the trio.
