Chapter Three: Surprising Sorting
When the train was about to arrive at the school, the boys left the compartment so that Tohru could change and then they switched. Once the train reached a stop, they all descended onto the platform. They then heard a loud, booming voice yelling: "First years this way!" Since the three boys were heading towards the voice, the transfers followed, not knowing where to go. When they reached the voice, they realized why it was so loud. The man was a giant, a half giant to be exact.
"Hello boys," said the man.
"Hello Hagrid!" answered Daisuke.
"I see you brought the new students with you. This way you four. You will be sorted with the first years!" said Hagrid motioning them towards the boats.
They looked at the three former transfers who nodded. They knew they would see each other later. Yuki, Kyo, Tohru and Allen all got into the same boat and it started moving all by itself. Once they were close enough, the new students saw for the first time the castle, Hogwarts. Their mouths hung open as they reached the shore.
They were greeted by an older woman with a stern face. She motioned them to follow and they were lead into a large room where they had to wait. The four transfer students stood behind the group, a bit further than the rest. They were as nervous as the rest of the eleven year olds. The woman returned after a few minutes and told them to follow her into the Great Hall.
This room held four tables, probably representing the four houses, where lines of students already sat. The transfers spotted Link, Daisuke and Edward. They all waved or gave thumbs up to comfort them. They reached the front of the room and an older man stood up and silence fell throughout the room. While they walked up to the front of the room, Allen noticed the ceiling: it had many dark clouds and he could make out a few stars in the sky. This place is weird…
"Welcome to another year. Before we begin, I would like to announce that since I was unable to find a replacement teacher for Defence Against the Dark Arts, I would like to welcome back professor Lupin." The Great Hall erupted in applause when a man with thinning hair and a slender figure got up and smiled. He must be popular, the transfers thought.
"When I call your names, you will come up and I shall place the sorting hat on your head," began the woman. "Brown, Hannah."
A short girl stepped forward and the hat was placed on her head. After a moment, the slits split and a voice boomed: "Hufflepuff!", surprising not only the first years but also the transfer students. Will we ever get used to this magic? Thought Yuki, confused. The sorting continued until there was only Allen, Yuki, Tohru and Kyo left. Then the older man got up once again.
"This year, we will introduce four more transfer students to our mist. I hope that you will greet them in the same way you greeted the previous ones. Three of them will join the fifth years and one will join the sixth years," and he nodded towards the woman.
"Honda, Tohru."
Tohru walked nervously towards the stool and sat down. The woman placed the Sorting Hat on her head and stepped away. The girl jumped a bit when a voice was heard.
My, you have had a troubled past, but where to put you? Tohru remembered Malfoy and said quietly: "Not Slytherin." Of course not there! It's to dark in there for you. Probably Gryffindor or Hufflepuff… Not Ravenclaw though, no offence. None taken, she replied smiling, I don't think I would be able to keep up anyway. In that case I shall place you in…
"Hufflepuff!"
Tohru smiled and when the hat was taken off, she jumped off the stool and skipped towards the Hufflepuff table who were cheering loudly. She took a place next to Daisuke and the hall fell silent once again.
"Sohma, Kyo"
The red head slowly went up and sat on the stool. The hat was placed on his head but he had a more violent reaction than Tohru. When he heard the voice, he jumped as well but fell off the stool he was sitting on. He got back up quickly and sat down, embarrassed and red. My, aren't we jumpy. You scared me you damn hat! snapped Kyo. Still no reason… oh, I see why. Don't worry about it, your secret is safe with me. And so is your cousins. Anyway, back to you. You also would not fit well in Slytherin or Ravenclaw, but Hufflepuff neither so…
"Gryffindor!"
Kyo got up and walked towards the table where he saw Link and took a seat next to him.
"Sohma, Yuki."
Yuki calmly walked up and the Sorting Hat was placed on his head. Since he had seen the two others go up, he figured something was going to happen. This resulted in just an eyebrow which rose upon hearing the voice. Um… you're more difficult than the others. You would not fit in with Hufflepuff not Gryffindor even though you are loyal and you do stand up for others. But you're too quiet. Perhaps Ravenclaw but… Yuki was about to say that most of the Slytherin population hates him and not to be placed there but the hat was quicker.
"Slytherin!"
Yuki stayed on the stool and stared at the Slytherin table. Not one of the students were clapping, nor cheering. They must have all heard about the incident on the train. The woman took of the hat and motioned him to join the table. Yuki sighed and dragged himself all the way there. He looked towards the others and saw that their mouths were open or that they had pity for him. He then took a seat the farthest away, trying to ignore the glares he was getting.
"Walker, Allen"
The last transfer went up towards the stool and the Sorting Hat was placed upon his head as well. Um… you may be easier to place. Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Allen looked towards Yuki sitting alone and then at the death glares he was getting. Could I go with Yuki? Slytherin?! The hat snapped, You wouldn't last a day! That's not true! replied Allen defensively, I survived traveling with Kanda, I can survive against these kids! You sure? Positive, and he smiled towards Yuki.
"Slytherin!"
