Harry Potter and the Prisoner of CHAOS
Chapter 4
The Sorting
AN: Again we do not own Harry Potter or anything else but the characters of Cas &Chlo
"Ouch. That's not a good letter to start the year with." Fred said sympathetically.
"Yeah, we're used to it by now. We haven't spent Christmas with them since dad left.' Chlo said sadly. They all gave her a look. " The dad in the letter is our step father.' Chlo explained, answering the non spoken question.
Fred looked at George and they seemed to be having a conversation in their heads.
" Well we can write home and see if you could spend Christmas with us.' suggested George smiling at the thought.
"You don't have to do that, we don't want to be a bother." said Chlo.
"Nonsense!" said George after seeing the sad look on Fred's face. " Harry and Hermione have stayed before, I'm sure we can fit two more people in the Burrow!"
Aristole let out a small meow.
"Aristole wants to know who will watch him and Quizzle." said Cas.
"Yeah and don't forget about Jitterbug!" added Chlo.
"Who's Jitterbug?" questioned Fred.
"Her owl." replied Cas.
"Oh. But what's with the bat?" asked George.
"Poor Georgie, you haven't figured it out yet." taunted Cas.
"Cassandra, how are they supposed to know that he is your pet." expressed Chlo.
"Well I thought it was pretty obvious because he landed on Aristole's back." Cas responded.
"True but most people don't have a pet bat." said Chlo.
"Well that's stupid!"
"Can't this train just get to the school already!" exclaimed Chlo. "Things are already crazy and we aren't even there yet!"
Just as Chlo finished her statement the train finally slowed and stopped and the students started to file out of the compartments.
"That was fast, I should have complained sooner!" Chlo said smiling.
"I want a coke!" Cas shouted randomly. They all looked at her.
Aristole annoyingly let out a yowl.
"And Aristole wants some tuna." Cas smiled at her cats random request.
"Well we are at the school now so it will have to wait awhile." Chlo said while they followed everyone else off the train and into the carriages.
They soon were approaching the castle and Cas and Chlo were amazed by how big and beautiful it was. Before they knew it they were in the castle and separated from there new friends by Professor McGonagall. She lead them to where all the first years were gathered and told them they would be sorted into a house after all the first years were sorted.
After all the first years were sorted Professor Dumbledore stood up and the room was instantly quiet.
"This year something that has never happened in all my years at Hogwarts has occurred." Everyone started whispering but stopped when he continued. "This year we have two students who have transferred to Hogwarts from the Salem Witch Academy in America."
Excited whispers erupted from all the tables. "Like all of you they must be sorted into their houses." he finished.
Professor McGonagall walked to the stool where the sorting hat sat. "First we have Chloe Sliffe, who is a third year student."
Harry and the rest started cheering. Fred then yelled, "You better be in Gryffindor Chlo!"
"What he means is good luck!" George said after his brother and the rest of the students started whispering things like, 'they know each other?'.
Chlo walked up to the stool and sat down then had the hat placed on her head. Because her mind was foreign the hat was confused. "A transfer student? Haven't had to deal with one of you in a while. 500 years to be exact. What should I do with you?….smart… brave… I see trouble maker qualities in you… concern for others…. I think… GRYFFINDOR!" The hat finished its rambling and the Gryffindors (especially Fred XD) started cheering. Fred was doing a sort of happy dance in his seat making everyone laugh. Chlo went over to her new friends and was welcomed by them all.
Now it was time for Cas. "Cassandra Sliffe!" McGonagall called out so they could hear her over the groups cheers.
Cas did the same as her sister and the hat started its rambling once more. "ANOTHER! This is strange… sisters too… MAJOR trouble with this one they'll have… what house will handle her best?… bit of a closed mind but… there's something there…GRYFFINDOR!"
The group started cheering again while Ron looked as though he had just saw a 50 foot tall spider with blood dripping on it and yelled. "NOOOOOOOOOO!"
