I do not own Harry Potter
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
Every knock on the door became louder and louder until the door opened to reveal a young professor. She was smiling with delight at all the new students. She had green eyes, and black glasses, and spiked up black hair.
"Hello students I am Professor Smith and I will be your defense against the dark arts professor. I will be explaining to you the rules before you all go get sorted into your houses.
As the professor was explaining the rules of the school, Rebecca looked around at all the other students in her year. The first being Lily, John and Jamie on her left, who all looked both excited and nervous. She looked to her right to see a cute boy with reddish brown hair and brown eyes who looked so excited that he looked ready to burst. She was about to start laughing, but at that moment the professor stopped talking about the sorting and told the students to follow her into the Great Hall.
"How do you think they will sort us?" Janie asked.
"I don't know, but my dad told me that as a joke his brother told him he had to fight a troll." Lily said laughing.
"I hope its not like that at all." Rebecca said a little frightened. At that moment she walked into the Great Hall for the first time and gasped. It was beautiful!
"My mom told me that the ceiling is enchanted to look like the outside sky." Lily said looking up to see a beautifully clear sky.
"Wow!" Rebecca said astonished. She then looked to the front to see all the professors sitting at a table, ready to watch the sorting.
Professor Smith told them all to wait at the steps while she got everything ready for their sorting. She then pulled out a big, brown, patchy hat that looked like it had seen better days, and a stool.
"Students. This is the Sorting Hat. It will place you in a house that is best for you and you alone. Listen to it, Because you may learn something about yourself that you never knew before." She said smiling mysteriously.
All the students stared at it quietly, wondering what the Professor was talking about, when the hat suddenly began to sing:
(Insert Sorting Hat song here)
"The houses that you will be sorted into are; Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Slytherin." Professor Smith announced.
"Once I have said your name, please come up and sit on the stool to get sorted." She then brought out a scroll.
"Philip Anderson!"
A tall boy with shaggy black hair and a smile that made him look annoying came up to the stool and sat down. The Sorting Hat got placed on his head and in less than 30 seconds the hat screamed out, "SLYTHERIN!"
Andersen smiled the same smile from before and walked over to the Slytherin table and sat down proudly.
All these names were then read out and each student sorted into a house fitting them. The Professor was getting closer and closer to the L's and Rebecca could tell Jamie was worried.
"Jamie Longbottom!"
Everyone suddenly started whispering to each other as Rebecca got Jamie to let go of her arm and go up to the stool.
"That's Neville Longbottom's daughter!" was the general whispering going around the hall.
Jamie nervously sat down on the stool and the sorting hat was placed on her head.
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
Jamie stood up, smiling at Rebecca and her brother and walked to the cheering Hufflepuffs.
"John Longbottom!"
The whispering got even louder this time as John nervously but proudly walked up to the stool and sat down smiling at his sister before his eyes got covered by the hat.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
John smiled so widely it looked like his face was going to burst before running to the cheering Gryffindor table where James and Albus were sitting.
The sorting went on again normally, as the professor was getting closer to the P's Lily was getting more excited.
"Lily Potter!"
The whispering started again. Not as loud as the Longbottom's had been though.
"The last Potter!" Was the general whispering for Lily.
Lily excitedly walked up to the stool and smiled at her brothers and Rebecca before having her eyes covered.
The Sorting hat took a while for her. Rebecca thought that it was probably trying to choose between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw for her.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
The Gryffindor house went wild. "WE GOT ALL THE POTTER'S!"
"Enough! We need to get back to the sorting!" Professor Smith yelled at the Gryffindor's.
After they had all calmed down enough she read out the next few people until she finally got to the S's.
"Rebecca Smalls!"
Rebecca nervously walked up to the stool and sat down, looking one last time at all her new friends before having her eyes covered by the huge hat.
"hmmm. You are very smart, Just like your mother, but you are also very caring and put others needs before your own. I know just where to put you."
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
Rebecca opened her eyes, smiled excitedly at Jamie, and ran to the cheering Hufflepuffs. As she sat down she high-fived Jamie and got ready to watch the rest of the sorting. But she was mostly thinking about the boy who had been standing next to her before the ceremony had started, and why his name was so down on the list.
Finally when there were only a few kids left to be sorted the professor called his name.
"Matthew Young!"
"Matt. That's a nice name." She said to herself as she watched him walk up the steps.
Even though he had looked really excited before, he now looked like he wanted to go hide somewhere and Rebecca just wanted to go up to him and hug him.
Instead she turned to Jamie, "Do you know who the Young's are?"
"There isn't much about them to say other than he is a pure-blood, his mum is a Hufflepuff and his dad is a Gryffindor. Seems like that is the reason the sorting is taking so long."
Rebecca looked back just in time to see the hat yell out;
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
Matt smiled softly and walked to the Hufflepuff table as Professor Smith rolled up the scroll and the Headmaster stood up to give his speech.
Thanks for reading!
Sorry I didn't have a song for the sorting hat. I couldn't think of anything. If anyone can think of anything message me!
P.S. Anyone notice the references to different British shows? I couldn't help it. :)
