Chapter Three: Lily and Hugo's Sorting
The train arrived at Hogwarts around six o'clock. All of the teenagers hopped off of the train and started to split up by years. James passed by Hugo and Lily and wished them good luck. They both just nodded up at him and Lily gave him a weak and nervous smile. 'You're going to do fine.' James said before walking out after the sixth years in front of him.
Mya squatted down and looked both of the kids in the eye. She had known the two of them since they were born and knew they were both going to be successful. Lily was the only one of the Potters that had her Weasley family's flaming red hair. She was beautiful for an eleven year old and Mya knew in a few years little Lily would have all the boys flinging themselves at her, like James had all the girls. Albus was the only boy that didn't have girls flinging themselves at him, probably because he wasn't sucked into the fame like James did.
Hugo had his father's red hair and had his mother's brains. Rose was defiantly the genius of the family, but Hugo defiantly had potential. Being the only two children of Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, Hugo and Rose were popular, but not as popular as their cousins James, Albus and Lily. Both Lily and Hugo were nervous about what house they would be sorted into; having a family member in each House.
"You two are going to be fine. I'm sure you'll end up in a great House. Remember Albus is in Slytherin and he's perfectly happy, Rose is doing amazing in Ravenclaw and my dad would welcome you with open arms into Hufflepuff." Mya told them before hugging each one in turn and then walked off towards James and her other friends
"They're pretty nervous." Mya said flopping down into the wagon next to James and Albus
Across from them Scorpius Malfoy and Rose were holding hands and whispering. Rose had her Ravenclaw scarf wrapped completely around her neck, but had Scorpius' green gloves on. Albus was the only one that had really heard Mya. Eli was looking at her but didn't really acknowledged what she had said and Harper was talking to Eli's little sister Courtney, who was a fourth year.
"They'll be fine with whatever house they get in. I mean come on I'm in Slytherin and I'm okay. Rosie's the top of our class and doing great in Ravenclaw. She sure is making Aunt Hermione proud. Teddy said Hufflepuff was terrific although the yellow clashed with his preferred hair color. Plus remember if they're in Hufflepuff they'll have your dad Mya." Albus said
"I don't see why you worry about them so much Mya. You act like their mother. Trust me we have enough of those already between mum, grandma and all of our aunts." James huffed
"No one watches out for them here James. They have you, but how much did you really look after Albus his first year." Mya asked her friend placing her hands on his hips
"Really Mya your going to bring that up?" James asked rolling his eyes. She was his best friend, but sometimes it bugged James how much she would child him.
"Until you learn to start looking out for your brother and sister James. I'm the youngest in my family and Frank and Alice completely over protected me while we were in Hogwarts together. I just think you should look out for them." Mya said
The wagons finally reached Hogwarts and all the students were starting to unload into the castle's large dinning hall. When Mya hopped out of the wagon she tripped and fell on top of Eli. Blushing she hopped off of him, but he helped stabilize her. When their hands were together, Mya felt a small spark, but it wasn't as big as a spark and when her and James touched. James passed by his best friend and rushed over to the Gryffindor Table eager to start his fifth year. Rolling her eyes Mya followed after him after saying goodbye to Albus, Rose, Scorpius and the Wood kids who went over to their own House tables. Taking the seat next to James she took a long time to give him one of her glares. James finally noticed it and broke away from his conversation with Tyler Jordan to look at his friend.
"You know if you're not careful Mya your face is going to stick like that." James laughed. When the glare didn't fade away he gave Mya another full look "What?"
"Thanks for the help James. I fell completely on my face back there-"
"But your okay now." Tyler smirked cutting in and leaning across James so he could see the angry brunette staring back at him
"Gee thanks for your input Tyler." Mya said rolling her eyes
Before Tyler or James could respond the door flew open and Mya's dad entered leading the group of nervous first years. Mya spotted Lily and Hugo holding hands and looking quite nervous. She gave them an encouraging smile and Lily beamed back up and her and gave Mya a wave.
"New meat! How long do you think it'll take before Peeves scares the willies out of those poor things?" Mya heard Tyler whisper before he made a face at one of the passing first years. Causing them to jump and back up into the person behind them.
James cackled out a laugh as Mya rolled her eyes. It was the same thing every year; when were the two of them going to grow up?
The old sorting hat was pulled out and one by one it was placed on the first years' heads. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw was starting to become a trend through this year's first years. Only a hand full of students were called to join the Gryffindor table. When Lily's name was called, Mya saw James go pale out of the corner of her eye.
She remembered the last sorting that had one of his siblings was in . When neither Rose or Albus got into Gryffindor, Mya thought she was going to have to take James to the Nurse's Wing from shock. As much as he didn't want to admit it, James wanted his baby sister to be in Gryffindor with him. He's very protective of his little sister. James never showed it to anyone, but Mya also knew James better than anyone else.
Finally Lily's name was called and the little red head walked up to the stool. Her face was starting to turn just as pale as her older brothers. Being the youngest Potter the pressure was on her to either be like the rest of the family, or follow in Albus and Rose's footsteps and join a different House. She gulped as the hat was placed down on her head and she jumped as the hat spoke to her.
Lily Luna Potter, you're going to be the last Potter I get aren't you? The hat spoke to the young girl.
Until my brothers have children yes. Lily spoke in her head remembering how both of her brothers and parents had told her that the hat could read your minds so there was no reason to speak out loud. Not that I think James will have any children.
I see a lot of potential for you in Slytherin my dear Lily.
James will kill me if I get in Slytherin. He still isn't to happy that Al is in Slytherin.
So you don't like to disappoint your family do you Ms. Potter?
My family is everything to me. I would die for them. I would kick anyone's ass- I'm sorry butt that tried to hurt them.
I see a lot of your mother and grandmother in you my dear. They were both in Gryffindor.
Does that mean?
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat bellowed
James almost fell out of his seat and then jumped back up cheering for his little sister. Lily beamed and hurried over claiming a spot across from her older brother. After awhile, more and more kids started to trickle into Gryffindor. Only one kid started to cry when they were sorted into Gryffindor. Mya felt bad for the kid, but James and Tyler just snickered under their breath and called him a snake bait. After awhile it was Hugo's turn. He seemed a lot more confident than his cousin. He held his head up high and sat down on the stool proudly. Seeing that reaction Mya knew he was either going to get in Slytherin or Gryffindor. When the hat started to talk to him, Mya noticed the color from Hugo's face was starting to drain. Probably the same old threat. The hat told nearly every kid that they were going to be in the house that they least wanted to be in. After what seemed like ten minutes the hat finally called out the House name. "GRYFFINDOR!"
All of the Gryffindor table erupted into cheer, mostly being made up by Weasleys and the two Potters. Even Rose cheered for her younger brother, happy to see that he was happy. Mya glanced in-between the long line of Weasleys that were all around her. The Head Mistress Professor McGonagall stood up and started to speak to all of the students. Mya tuned her out and look around the Great Hall. Her eyes drifted to the Ravenclaw table where she saw Rose watching Professor McGonagall intently, but Kaylee was glaring at Mya evilly. Quickly she turned and looked at the Hufflepuff table only to see Eli staring at her, but it was a way that made her heart jump. Blushing she looked over at the Slytherin table and saw Albus looking her way and gave her a smile when he realized she was looking at him. Her eyes finally landed on James who was poking her shoulder trying to get her attention.
"Yes?" She asked
"Are you taking Care of Magical Creatures this year Mya?" James asked
"Why does that matter? But just to get you off my back yes I am. I'm taking as many classes as I can. I wanted to see if I can figure out what to go into for a profession. With our O.W.L.s coming up I need to figure out what classes I'm going to take next year." Mya said
"You really should have been in Ravenclaw. You remind me so much of my Aunt Hermione. I still have no idea how she got into Gryffindor with a brain like hers." James said rolling his eyes
The feast was starting to begin and the Great Hall was becoming live again. All of the students were digging into their dinner and all of the first years were chirping excitedly as they looked around the castle. One student screamed seeing Nearly Headless Nick for the first time. James and Tyler said hi to him and then went back into their conversation about James' Uncle George's joke shop.
