Chapter 9: The Welcome Feast

Angela gasped as the boats came into view of the school.

"Oh Harry, Dad, it's so beautiful!"

"Angela, welcome to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry." Harry said as he placed an arm around her shoulders.

Upon reaching the Great Hall Harry waved to Angela as he went to set at Gryffindor table and Severs went to the head table.

Angela took in the sight with awe, from the enchanted ceiling to the funny looking hat sitting on a stool. She jumped back and yelped when a seam opened up and it began to sing.

"I am the sorting hat

Created long ago

By 4 very important beings

Whom all of you should know

There's Gryffindor

Proud and loyal

With courage full and plenty

The Raven claw

All smart and quick

With the ability

To solve hard puzzles

With the Hufflepuff

You do-gooders

Always doing what is right

A very trustworthy bunch

Then there's Slyhterin

Low and sneaky

A house of snakes

Tricky and untrustworthy

Houses divided

When together they're strong

Divided, weak as kittens

One day it shall happen

As the lion lays in the snakes den

Tranquility restored

And a battle won"

Everyone stared in awe and confusion and the hat fell silent, ass whispered words were carried through the hall.

"Before we begin the sorting we have a student who is transferring into her 4th year here at our establishment." Albus said before sitting back down, not revealing anymore.

"WELLINGTON, WENDY!!" McGonagall yelled out causing several people to jump and a few to even cry out in fright..

The hat was placed on her head before the hat cried "HUFFLEPUFF."

It went on that way for several minutes before…

"SNAPE, ANGELA!"

Several gasped and many cries of outrage sounded around the hall. Especially at the Slytherin table. Everyone had heard about the train ride and the Slytherins were clearly not at all happy about it.

As McGonagall placed the hat on her head Angela gasped.

"Ah Yes…another Snape. Your father is a very good teacher. I see bravery, loyalty, brains, a need to prove others wrong about your fathers past. You have more than enough qualities for each house. But I think… GRIFFINDOR!"

Silence rang throughout the hall before loud cheering rang clear. Angela smiled as she made her way to the table, sitting next to Harry.

"Welcome home." Harry said as he threw and arm around her. As soon as everyone was sorted food appeared on the tables, everyone ate while chattering happily about their summers. Everyone but two teenagers who just sat and happily listened to their friends.

HALELUYAH!!! Finally updated !!!! Thank all of you for reviewing. I apologize for the delay but I graduated and I lost all my updating time with not having net or being homeless. (Stupid t-mobile) Well here it is, Angela finally at Hogwarts and in Gryffindor no less. What will happen next???
