A.N: Welcome to another chapter. In this chapter Thomas, Rose, Hugo and Scorpuis get Sorted into their houses. There will be a surprise that no one expected.
The children had gotten off the boats and were entering Hogwarts for the first time. Hogwarts had been completely built back together and it had not looked like that there had been a battle here. Soon they were greeted by Professor McGonagall. "Good evening children and welcome to Hogwarts. Shortly you will enter the Great Hall and be Sorted into your houses. The houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin." Rose and Scorpuis looked at each other hoping they would be in Gryffindor. "You can gain house points by doing well in your classes but any rule breaking you will lose points." Professor McGonagall continued. "Wait here and I'll make sure everything is ready, so clean your selves up a bit." She then left them and went into the Great Hall. Thomas tried to flatten his hair but it was no use, his Mum told him that his father's hair was like his and it was no point trying to flatten it. Hugo was looking around nervously, if he didn't get into Gryffindor he didn't know what his Dad would do to him. Rose was trying to stay calm by talking to Scorpuis.
Finally Professor McGonagall came back and they followed her into the Great Hall. The Great Hall as the children were about to find out was filled with hundreds of students, the Great Hall was lit by floating candles. "Wow" people were whispering to each other. They were looking at the ceiling which was bewitched as the night sky. The group assembled at the front of the hall and saw a hat on a chair. "That's the Sorting Hat, Dad told me" Ron whispered to Thomas. Professor McGonagall stepped forward and held onto the hat. "When I call your name, you will come forward and sit on the seat, I will place the hat on your head and then you will be placed into one of the houses." She told the nervous first years.
"Rose Weasley"
Rose quickly got onto the seat as the hat was put on her head. "Please Ravenclaw, Please Ravenclaw, Maybe Gryffindor. Oh I don't know!" Rose thought to herself.
"You have a brilliant mind, but maybe it would be best if you were Gryffindor" The hat told her. "Hmmm.... Gryffindor!" The hat cried out. There was a applause from the Gryffindor table as she took a seat next to a senior.
"Hugo Weasley" Professor McGonagall.
"Ah another Weasley!" The hat said as it touched Hugo's head. "I know just what to do with you...Gryffindor!"
Hugo
sighed with relief and joined his sister at the Gryffindor table. Now
it was Thomas's turn. He sat on the chair waiting to find out what
house he would be in.
"Dear me, there's a lot of Weasley's
at this school, I'm guessing you'll want to be in Gryffindor like
the rest of your family" The hat paused for a moment before saying
"Gryffindor!"
Thomas eagerly joined the Gryffindor table.
Finally it was only Scorpuis Malfoy to be Sorted. "Hmm...very tricky, a whole family in Slytherin." The hat whispered to him. "Not Slytherin, Not Slytherin." Scorpuis thought. "Not Slytherin aye? Better be Gryffindor!"
"No! Not him!" Hugo shouted. "Do you have something against me Weasley?" Scorpuis asked Hugo. "In a matter of fact I do, and you better stay away from my sister Scorpuis." Hugo told him while people were cheering for others who had been Sorted into their houses. "Oh and what if I don't Hugo, going to hex me with that second hand wand you've got there" Scorpuis sniggered and left to talk to Rose.
"So Rose aren't you glad we're in Gryffindor together? I hope we will be the best of friends." Scorpuis said smiling at Rose. "I hope so too" Rose answered him. Soon after everybody had been Sorted, food magically appeared at the tables and people began grabbing food. There was a whole roast chicken, potatoes and everything you could want. After everybody had filled their stomachs with as much as they could Professor McGonagall stood up. "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts, as many have already seen our school has been able to decrease the security around the school because we have not been threatened by anyone for quite a while now." There was an applause for the children and staff. "I hope you have a wonderful education this year, well I'm sorry there will be no dessert as I can see many of you are pretty full already. Off to bed, and open those minds for tomorrow's lessons. Goodnight". Professor McGonagall ended her speech and then there was scraping of the benches as people stood up to go to their common rooms. The Gryffindor's followed their Prefects and went into their common room.
Thomas chose a bed next to Hugo and started to get into his bed. "Scorpuis has a plan for Rose Thomas, and I don't want to her getting hurt." Hugo said quietly so Scorpuis wouldn't hear. "Don't worry I'm sure he's trying to trick you or something." Thomas reassured him. "But he's a Malfoy, he shouldn't even be in Gryffindor, this sucks, now we will be in the same classes with him, giving him a chance to get close to my sister." Hugo said climbing into bed. "I won't let him Hugo, I promise." Thomas said falling asleep.
Tomorrow would be a new day, of wonder, surprises and a plan that starts to go into action.
