-1Sirius sat in front of the fireplace in his sitting room thinking about nothing in particular when Molly's head appeared in the flames.
"Sirius,
How are you?" She asked politely
"I'm fine Molly did Harry
get on the train ok did you see him did he seem nervous?" Sirius
began to question all at once.
"He's fine Sirius. He actually
found me to ask me how to get on the train and he was ever so polite
about it. I made no mention to the children who he was but you know
Fred and George they figured it out and came blabbering. Ginny is
quite in awe of him she hasn't stopped talking about him since she
got home."
"But then everything went well he didn't have
any problems?" Sirius asked still concerned
" No Sirius the
boy is fine when the train left he was talking to Ron everything will
be okay. He'll take to school like a fish takes to water." With
that her face disappeared from the fire and Sirius was once again
left alone with his thoughts he went to the kitchen and grabbed a
bottle of fire whisky from the cabinet and sat down at the table
looking across the room he looked at a picture of James and himself
taken during their 4th year they both looked so young and
carefree not at all like the ragged man he was now.
"What would
you say if you saw me now James what indeed?" He asked the photo
"Me the mischievous Mr. Black the one that never followed rules
listening to old man Dumbledore. I just don't know James. Is it
better to let Harry grow up like he is now or should I do what I knew
was entitled to me when I agreed to be his godfather." Sirius took
another swig from the bottle and continued to stare at the picture in
the frame.
Harry
entered the great hall with the red headed freckly boy Ron Weasley
who had explained to him about the wizarding world and their sport
which was called quidditch Harry was a little nervous but after
being greeted by Hagrid and finding a new friend already it wasn't
as bad as he thought it would be. After standing there a moment a
strict looking women appeared and spoke down her nose at them
"In
just a moment you will be sorted into your houses while you are here
your houses are you family every year there is an inter house
competition abiding by the rules will earn you points while
disobeying them will lose you points I'll be back for you
momentarily." After she left everyone erupted into conversation
about the 4 Hogwarts houses from Harry's take on it Hufflepuff
weren't all that smart Ravenclaw were Slytherin were evil and
Gryffindor were the brave. I'll be in Hufflepuff I bet if what all
this lot are saying is true Harry mumbled to Ron who was swallowing
every five seconds nervously.
"Oh don't think that way Harry
a lot of kids come from muggle Families and had no idea they were
wizards till a few weeks ago at least that man you told me about your
godfather told you what you are ahead of time." That thought calmed
the butterflies in Harry's stomach momentarily but not for long the
strict woman they called professor McGonagall was back and was
leading them out into the dining hall in front of everyone . She had
a hat which she sat down on the stool in front of the whole room the
first years were left looking at the hat curiously where as everyone
else looked at it in expectation. Then it opened up near the base and
began to sing a song about the four houses when it was done
professor McGonagall unrolled a parchment
"When I call your name
step forward and place the hat on your head once you have been sorted
please take your seats with your house."
The
first couple of names she called didn't register to Harry but as
she made her way down the list he began to pay attention as students
were placed the hat would shout the house names Harry wished he
didn't have to do it in front of everyone.
"Hermione Granger"
McGonagall called and a poofy haired girl the recognized from the
train stepped forward
"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted a few
more people down the line and Harry heard is name with knees shaking
he sat on the stool and McGonagall put the hat on his head he could
hear the hats thoughts on where to put him after what seemed like an
eternity of the hat pondering between Gryffindor and Slytherin and
Harry clutching the stool screaming in his mind not Slytherin not
Slytherin the Hat finally declared
"Gryffindor!"
An- I know nothing spectacular in this one but I don't hate it as much as the last one read and review please
