Chapter 4: The Second Sorting
Harry and Neville changed quickly and as the train pulled into Hogsmeade Station, they met up with Hermione.
'Here we are 'Mione. This is where the fun really begins!' Harry Thought.
'I know! I wonder if we'll be in Gryffindor like last time.' Hermione Thought back.
The young couple were brought out of their thoughts by a loud, familiar voice: 'Firs' -years! Firs' -years over here! Alright there, 'Arry?'
Harry grinned back at Hagrid.
Harry, Hermione and Neville were followed into a boat by none other than the walking food pit, Ronald Weasley.
'Oh great!' Harry and Hermione muttered simultaneously.
'Hi, do you mind, all of the other boats are full' Ron asked even though Harry could clearly see that there were spaces in three other boats.
'Excuse me, but there are other boats with spaces in them.' Hermione said in her most annoying I-Know-Best voice.
'Nobody asked you Buck-Tooth!' Ron snapped. It was obvious he wanted to be Harry's friend because he was famous.
Harry stood up 'Hey! She was just stating a fact!' Harry shouted. He then punched Ron square in the nose. 'And don't call my girlfriend names!'
Harry was now aware that everyone was staring at him.
'What?' Harry shouted at them.
After Ronald had found another boat they set off towards the castle.
'Wow Harry. You're bloody awesome!' Neville said as they were nearing the Boat House.
Everybody clambered out of boats eager to get to the castle. Harry helped Hermione and Neville out of the boat and then took Hermione's hand into his. The Trio started to follow Hagrid towards the castle. As they were walking, Harry and Hermione thought of the last time they saw Hogwarts. It had been just after the war and they had seen all of the damage done to the castle they had known as home for the last seven years. This thought made Harry more determined than ever to stop the previous timeline of events from happening.
'Don't worry Love. We won't let it happen again' Hermione soothed.
'Thanks 'Mione' Harry smiled gratefully at his girlfriend.
'Aww, young love' Came a voice that made Harry and Hermione jump.
Neville saw this and asked 'Are you guys alright?'
'Yeah thanks Nev'' Harry replied
'Who are you?' Hermione asked
'It's not even been 24 hours since you last saw me and you've already forgotten who I am! Charming!' The voice said.
'Sophie!' Harry and Hermione cried.
'Yes! We got there in the end.' Sophie said 'I'm here to give you advice on how to change things for the better and warn you of threats towards you. Oh and you better get back to the real world looks as though your just about to be sorted.'
Sure enough when the duo looked up they saw that McGonagall was reading the list of students names out. She was on 'Finch – Fletchley, Justin'
He became a Hufflepuff just like before.
Then it was Hermione's turn.
'Don't worry about what house you get put into' Harry told her.
Harry watched as the love of his life walked up to the stool and sat down. The Hat was placed onto her head. Then The Hat did something unexpected. It shouted 'HARRY POTTER COME UP PLEASE'
All eyes turned to look at him. Harry walked slowly up to the stool. As if the castle was anticipating this another stool appeared next to Hermione. Harry took a seat and The Hat stretched so it fit over the pair of them. The Hat waited for what seemed like an age before saying to them: 'Welcome back my Lord and his Lady. You are back to stop certain events from happening are you not?'
'Yes and what's with the Lord and Lady?' Harry asked The Hat.
'You do not know? Well you will have to ask the goblins at Gringotts for a Lineage Test. Anyway do you have any requests to where you or your fellow first years should go?' The Hat enquired.
'Well we do have some requests as to where Ronald Weasley and Draco Malfoy should go. Ronald Weasley should go into Slytherin. He was cunning enough to trick me into thinking we were friends because he like the real me and not just the fame. Also Draco Malfoy should go into Gryffindor as it took him a lot of courage to stand there and almost kill Dumbledore.' Harry told The Hat.
'But Harry they haven't done either of those things yet.' Hermione countered.
'I know 'Mione but the courage and cunning has to be there in the first place for them to have it at that point in time.' Harry told Hermione.
'That is settled then. Ronald Weasley should go into Slytherin and Draco Malfoy, into Gryffindor. Any other requests My Lord?' The Hat said.
'Yes, Neville Longbottom should come into the same house as us. He is smart enough for Ravenclaw as he demonstrated in our seventh year; he is brave enough for Gryffindor as he cut off the head of Nagini and stood up to Voldemort. Also he is ambitious enough for Slytherin because he has a very powerful ambition to live up to his parents and lastly he is loyal enough for Hufflepuff because he didn't crack once as he was being tortured by Voldemort. We don't mind which House we go into as long as he comes with us. Now we have no more requests.' Harry finished with a mental bow.
'Very well, you will go into…
…RAVENCLAW!
