Alexis, Rose, and I took a seat at the Gryffindor table, waiting to see which house the new trio are in. That is, Hugo, Lily, and Matt.
"Bones, Jenny!" A small red-head sat on the chair and the sorting hat put her in Hufflepuff.
"Boot, Nate!" A brunette jumped at the school, almost knocking it over, and sat down excitedly.
"Ravenclaw!" He happily headed towards the screaming house.
"Cite, Siobhan!"
"Slytherin!"
The brunette girl looked confused for a moment, then she shrugged and hopped off the stool.
After a few more people got Sorted...
"Finnigan, Briana!"
"GRYFFINDOR!" We cheered.
"Patil, Tanya."
"Gryffindor!" We cheered again.
""Potter, Lily" took a long while, but eventually, they sorted her in Gryffindor.
"Spencer, Matt!"
I saw Lily at the Gryffindor table biting her nails.
"Hufflepuff!"
I glanced at Lily. She looked devastated and Matt looked upset too.
"Weasley, Hugo!"
Hugo walked to the hat with not much enthusiasm.
"Gryffindor!"
Lily's face brightened.
McGonagall stepped up to the podium.
"Alright, this speech is taken from Dumbledore, our deceased head master." She picked up a piece of paper. "I have a few words to say to you. Twiddleedum, Twiddlededee, and Twiddledeedoo! Enjoy your food."
Me and Alexis sniggered at all the confused first year faces. Lily leaned forward. "Is the 'deceased headmaster' crazy?" she whispered.
And with that, Rose, Alexis, and I burst out laughing.
"No," I said finally. "I think he was just a little strange."
"And overrated," giggled Rose which set us off again.
Albus bounded up to us. "Hey!" he said cheerfully...to Rose.
Rose rolled her eyes. "What favor are you asking of me this time?"
"HEY!" Albus looked offended. "Just because I say 'hi' means I want you to do something?"
"Do you?" asked Rose, raising an eyebrow.
"Well...yes but...that's not the point!" he looked flustered.
"So, what's the favor?" asked Rose dryly.
"Will you come with me to the Slytherin table? I want to sit with Scorpius."
Albus and Scorpius are best friends, even though Al is a Gryffindor and Scorpius is a Slytherin.
"Why do you need me there?" asked Rose.
Al looked at her like she'd grown three heads. "I'd feel so out of place by myself! Plus you like each other...in that way."
"I do not!" Rose protested, going pink. "But fine, I'll go with you."
Albus grinned and lead her away from the table.
"What now?" said Alexis.
I looked at her. "Food!" We both laughed and then started to eat.
