Hi peoples! Here comes the chapter where we all get sorted. Yay! Enjoy the chapter!


Liah POV

I stared out the window of the Hogwarts express for quite a while, until Scorpius nudged me and gestured at the door.

Taking a deep breath, I nodded. Scorpius and I made our way onto the platform where a large burly man with slightly greyed hair was shouting "Firs' years this way! Firs' years this way!"

The improper use of speech made me bite my tongue to keep from shouting out a correction.

We followed the rest of our age group to some docks by the lake. Scorpius and I sat in a boat with a black-haired boy and a red-haired girl.

As we make our way across the lake, I could hardly keep my emotions in check. Lately that had been happening far too often, I must work on that. Anyways, back on topic. The lights of the castle reflected off the surface of the water and created the look of many lanterns floating all around.

When we finally got to the castle, our previous guide left us, and we were met by a strict-looking woman in dark green robes with a hat to match. I instantly liked her.

"Students," she began, "I am Professor McGonagall. When we walk through these doors, you will be in the grand entrance hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I expect you to behave in here and cause no trouble. Once we are inside, we will proceed to the front of the hall where the Sorting Hat will be. You will wait patiently for your name to be called. When you hear your name, you will calmly walk to the front and sit on the stool. Once you are sorted, you will sit with your house and await instructions from your prefects. Am I understood?"

"Yes ma'am," exactly twenty-eight students chorused.

"Good," said Professor McGonagall, "Then welcome to Hogwarts." With that, the professor threw open the double doors and led the group of students to the front of the hall.

I couldn't have been bothered to take note of what anything looked like, there would be at least one-hundred-ninety days for that. Actually, I was more interested in the ratty old hat sitting in the front of the room.

I was about to ask what the hat was sitting there for, when a seam in the hat opened and –good grief—started singing.


I see we have a brand new group today

Ready to be sorted soon this way

so whup 'em Hogwarts style!

Hey, sexy Slytherins!

Whup, whup

Hey, fightin' Gryffindors!

Whup, whup

Hey, smarty Ravenclaws!

Whup, whup

Hey, workin' Hufflepuffs!

Whup, whup


Honestly, I thought. I come to an ancient school of the magical arts and I am met with Gangum Style?

You have got to be kidding me.

After the hat was through singing his amateur song, the Sorting was started off with Alastair, Jackson; who was sorted into Ravenclaw. I hardly paid attention, but I heard Scorpius get sorted into Slytherin. I also heard a Potter, Albus get sorted into Gryffindor along with Weasley, Rose. Every time a student got sorted into Gryffindor, the people already there started shouting like crazy. Really? I rolled my eyes, I had better not be there.

At last, Professor McGonagall called out my name (I was the only person still standing at the front). "Liah…X?" she called.

I strode confidently, not cockily, to the stool in front of everyone's eyes. McGonagall leaned over to me and whispered, "What is your surname, my dear?"

"I haven't got one. Is there a problem with that?" I responded.

The professor shook her head and place the Sorting Hat upon my head.

"Spoil sport," the hat said into my mind.

"Excuse me?" I thought back.

"How can you not like Gangnum Style?"

"Just sort me,"

"Fine," I could almost see the hat stick its tongue out at me, how childish. "SLYTHERIN!"

I gave a smug little smile and took a seat beside Scorpius as the headmistress took the stage to give a speech.
