Sorting

When Tyler and the first years got off the boats they were ushered into a room where a stern looking woman stood. "I am Professor McGonagall. You are about to be sorted into one of four houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff. While you are here your hou….blah blah blah" Tyler's mind wondered off. Mind wandering was Tyler's favorite pastime. 'I wonder what house Snape's in. Probably Slytherin. Oh I do love a bad boy. I should try and get sorted into… Oh everyone is walking.' And indeed, the first years were forming a line. Tyler went to get in. "Not you, wait here for another transfer girl and then you both will be called in together." McGonagall turned around and led the first years into the hall.

'Another transfer student? I wonder were they are from.' Tyler thought. A girl walked out of the shadows. She was tall, tan, and had black short hair. "Roxie?" Tyler was astonished. "What are you doing here?"

"Dad's business interests got moved to Ireland so now I'm here. Were you going to tell me you were transferring or were you just not going to show up?" Roxie asked.

"I just wasn't going to show up." They laughed. "I would have written you… eventually. But what about you?"

"I can't be concerned with owls." Roxie and Tyler continued their playful banter. "How was your summer?" Roxie asked.

"The norm… Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll!" Tyler screamed throwing her hands in the air. At that moment the doors to the Great Hall opened. "Oh." Tyler's hands fell. The student body was silent except for two loan laughs. One was a blonde sitting across fro Snape. She had crystal blue eyes and was sitting next to a similar looking boy shushing her. The other was near her brother. She had dark brown, curly hair and fierce, changing eyes. Roxie pushed Tyler forward and they began to walk the long path between the tables, eyes following them the whole way up. Tyler smiled and Roxie scowled.

"When I call your name come up to be sorted," Professor McGonagall said, " Roxanne Maclksjfa." There was an intake of student breath. Professor McGonagall had never miss pronounced a last name. Roxie sat on the stool and stood up immediately.

"I know your not about to put that old thing on MY head. How many people have worn that? No, absolutely not!" Tyler laughed at her friend.

"Sit down," Professor McGonagall forced Roxie onto the stool and put the hat on her head.

'Don't worry dear, I'm clean.' The hat said in her head.

'That's what he said' Roxie thought back

'What?'

'Never mind'

'Well you'll do well in any house but I don't know which house could handle you. I think you'll do the least damage in SLYTHERIN" The students applauded and Roxie took her seat by the blonde girl who had laughed.

"Andrea Malfoy." She introduced.

"Roxie," she responded but quieted to watch Tyler.

"Tyler Potter," Professor McGonagall called. Tyler sat down willingly.

'Ahh well you are particular aren't you. Great mind. You know what you want and you will get it by any means necessary. You have a skewed but good sense of humor. But above all you are loyal to the one's you love. Yes I think that will do…GRYFFINDOR!"

The Marauders jumped up in the air with applause. Tyler jumped up. "No not fair!" The applause stopped. "I want to be with Roxie!" Coincidence had always brought them together and Tyler wasn't about to let some hat change that.

"The hats word is FINAL!" McGonagall stated. Alright the hat might not be able to change it but scary old lady could. With a pout Tyler sat next to her brother.

"Exchange students will meet with myself and their heads of house after dinner. With that said… let them eat cake." The headmaster, with grey white hair everywhere and half moon specs, smiled as food appeared.

Everyone around Tyler dug in. Tyler picked some but she didn't see anything that would hit the spot.

"What's the matter?" James asked. Him and Lily were holding hands.

"Not hungry" Tyler answered

"Come on Ty we haven't eaten since breakfast." He pushed food towards her."

"Come on" Sirius added.

"Maybe mashed potatoes." Tyler smiled filling her plate with mashed potatoes. They sat and the boys started talking amongst themselves and Lily began talking to two girls on the other side of them.

"pssst" the dark hair girl looked at her

"Yes?" Tyler asked.

"Nadia Noah." She reached out her hand

"Tyler Potter," they shook hands, "Why are we whispering?"

"Ahh but my dear Tyler," Nadia said mysteriously, "Why shouldn't we whisper."

"Because every time you whisper Merlin kills a kitten." Tyler replied

"That's morbid dude." Nadia said in a regular tone. They laughed. They started to talk about the upcoming year.

Meanwhile at the Slytherin table Roxie was being introduced. "Luscious Malfoy and that is Severus Snape." The blonde boy offered his hand. Roxie took it hesitantly before telling him,

"Your aurora is really ugly." The boy sitting across her spit out his drink and Andrea laughed.

"Excuse me?" he questioned wiping away the boy's spit.

"It's really grey with no holes of light, but there is a silver lining."

"Well ok.." he was uncertain of this girl

"Don't we get to know our auroras?" Andrea joked.

"Maybe later when your brother's not around," Roxie said suggestively.

"Oh I am so interested," Andrea said eye-brows raised.

"So what school did you transfer from?"

"Beauxbatons, Tyler and I both."

"Why?"

"Stop prying into other people's lives," Luscious scolded

"Stop prying into other people's conversations." Roxie shot back. Luscious apparently was not used to be treated this way. He stood up and with a "hmp" he moved further up the table. "What a little girl." Roxie sneered.

"You and me… I think we're going to get along." Andrea said with a smile.

Roxie and Tyler met up after the feast and headed towards the head table. They followed Professor Dumbledore up to a statue of a gargoyle. Dumbledore screeched and it moved aside revealing a staircase. Tyler laughed.

"What?" McGonagall asked. She didn't appreciate Tyler's not wanting to be in her Gryffindor.

"That means fairy poop in mermaid." Tyler giggled.

"Awe well I see another person speaks mer.. I that's two of us now." Dumbledore said with a wink. "Please sit down." Everyone found seats. "Now I don't think either of you will have problems adjusting to Hogwarts, just remember to make time for each other. Even though you two are in separate houses doesn't mean you can't be friends. Professor McGonagall and Professor Slughorn will be watching each of you the first couple weeks of school. Have a good night." Everyone stood up except for Tyler.

"Is that it?" Tyler questioned.

"Yes you may leave," Albus answered confused.

"You made us walk all the way up here to tell us we'll be fine, stay friends, and they'll be watching us?" Dumbledore nodded. "Next time, give me the paraphrased version in the Great Hall." With that Tyler turned and followed Professor McGonagall to her dorm.
