Chapter 6: Merlin gets put in a house.

Merlin was begining to think that this ride to the school would never end, then he heard jenny whisper "Merlin, it looks beautiful. Open your eyes." He opened his eyes. At first all he saw was trees and grass then he saw it. The huge castle for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His new home for the next 6 years. "It is absolutely breathtaking." Merlin said in awe.

The boat ride was not as much fun because he got sick halfway across. Then they reached it. They all piled in and there stood Professor McGonagl. "First years! In a few moments you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. First you will be sorted into your houses and then you will eat supper. After that you will follow your prefects to your house domitaries." she said and turned around.

With a flick of her wrist the huge double doors that lead to the dinning area opened. Merlin looked around and was excited to see the use of so much magic. "I've never seen this much magic in all my years! This is amazing! Even if they had to use wands to do it all." he whispered to Jenny, who giggled. As he was looking around the Professor had grabbed a hat and a stool. Setting the hat down it started to sing:

"I am the sorting hat and i have a tale to tale.

Follow along to hear of the old wail.

Long ago lived the old religion and now it has died down.

But comes again the Emrys kid and old shall be new.

Yound is old and old is power.

Look ahead to the Witcing Hour."

"Aundrea Davis!" she shouted a young timid girl came along and sat on the stool. The hat was placed on her head and after a few seconds the hat shouted "RAVENCLAW!" "Felecia Davis!" again the hat was placed on her head and after a few seconds it shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" many more names were called then it reached "Merlin Ambrosious!" the crowd got real quiet for simply his name sounded powerful. He walked up there and they placed the hat on his head. "HUFFELPUFF!" he walked over the clapping table that was already making room for his to sit. "Morgan Dragoon!" a slim girl with long black hair went up there and sat down. "SLYTHERIN!" more names and then "Gwen Jackson!" she was short with long brown hair and kind eyes "RAVENCLAW!" finally Jenny was called up. "Jenny Weasley!" the hat never hesitated "GRYFFINDOR!" the last girl to be called up was small and frail looking but there was steel in her eyes saying that she may look weak but she was powerful. "Freya Xendrix!" the hat was placed on her head. "Hmmm...you are peculiar not one trait for just a single house but many for each. I haven't had this much trouble since Mr. Potter. Let's see where to put you?" the hat thought for a bit. "Ah! I know. HUFFELPUFF!" we cheered and she sat down next to me.

"Hi, Im Merlin. It's nice to meet you." Merlin introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Freya." as they shook hands a shock went right through both of them.
