-The same night, inside the great Hall of Hogwarts School-
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, the Headmaster was a bit surprised to see more students than usual, but he knew there's a handful of students that had transferred from America. The sorting hat was particularly excited, singing quite cheerily with a hop. Then his trustful Deputy Headmistress came forward to start calling the students. He was hoping that young Harry Potter is among them, as he knew what Harry looked like, after all, he visited the Potters when they were in hiding and even before.
He was devastated when Hagrid told him that Harry is missing from the house, as he had a feeling that Harry had delayed Voldemort that night, and so he spread the news of Harry, his description, and his age every year thanks to the Wizarding Wireless Radio. No one had news of him everywhere in Britain, so Albus assumed that Harry was taken out of Britain somewhere.
The first foreign student is called out, answering to Remus Black, and he sat under the Sorting Hat, and the castle shook, sang as the Sorting Hat called out, "Welcome Home, Remus Lupin-Black-Hufflepuff!". Remus laughed, "Hogwarts, please, the keys, if you will.". Albus got weakened so quickly as a swish of white magic came from him, and into Remus. One piece of Albus's throne split away, changing into a yellow/black chair at the front of the Hufflepuff tables.
Remus sat down in the chair as his disguise came down, changing into his adult form as he should be, and replied, "Hello, professor McGongall, surprised, huh? Carry on, please.". McGongall blinked, yet she willingly went on, calling out once more.
The second foreign student is a orange/red-haired girl, who answers by Daphne Blake-Prewett, and she excitedly came to the stool, and within a minute, she got sorted into Gryffindor. Dumbledore was shocked about the Prewett mention as Fabian and Gideon had died in the First Wizarding World. One of the brothers must have been to America, and suddenly had a daughter in this Daphne. Daphne's disguise fell, giving way to her adult form as she should be.
Daphne waved to the group of American students, with a grin. The next foreign student is a young brown-haired girl with glasses, who answers to Velma Dinkley, and suddenly, within a moment under the Sorting Hat, the castle shook, and sang once more. Velma's disguise fell, giving way to her adult form, with a surprise, her glasses were gone, revealing bright brown eyes in 360 crystal sight.
"Welcome Home, Velma Dinkley-Ravenclaw!". The sorting hat called out happily, and Velma giggled, and called out, "Hogwarts, girl, give me the keys!". The castle shook again, and Albus suddenly felt weakened as a swoosh of bright magic came into Velma from Albus, and a quarter of Albus's throne split away, and changed into a blue and silver decorated chair at the front of the Ravenclaw tables, and Velma sat into the chair, waved to McGongall, "Go on, professor.".
Minvera McGongall was shocked yet relieved at the same time, blinking as she refocused on the list. She kept calling out until another foreign student came forward, answering to Winnie Emrys. She came under the Sorting Hat, and again, the castle shook. "Welcome home, Merlin's Heir!". The sorting hat announced, and Winnie cackled happily, "Hogwarts, the keys!". Her disguise fell, changing her back to normal, becoming a werewolf, causing students to gasp in silence. "Oi, I am not bloodthristy or that kind of ridiculous stuff, sure I like a rare steak now and then, but I am like you all!". Winnie announced out proudly.
Another piece of bright magic came out from Albus, weakening him further, and coming into Winnie, changing her existing robe into a magnificent set of silver/golden robes, and another piece of Albus's throne split away once more, changing into a silver/golden staff for Winnie, a glow of power surrounded Winnie and disappeared quickly as a flash.
She went to sit besides Velma, and called out, "Carry on, professor.". McGongall only nodded, speechless for a second, then proceeded to call out. She kept calling and sorting until another foreign student came forward, answering to Fred Jones. He grinned as he took the Sorting Hat, and he got sorted into Gryffindor. He waved to the diminishing group of his friends as his disguise fell, changing him back to his adult form as he should be.
Another foreign student was called out after a couple of sortings, answering to the name of Sirius Lupin. He got sorted quickly into Gryffindor, and as he was grinning to the Weasleys, "What a prank!", his disguise fell out, changing him into his adult form as he should be, and sat upon his old seat on the bench as he laughed at the Weasleys Twins's shocked faces.
McGongall kept calling out until the name sounded out, calling Harry Potter. Albus leaned forward, very weakened, yet curious to see Harry. A smiling black-haired, green-eyed boy came forward, and he took a glance at Albus and grinned with a sly wink. He sat under the Sorting Hat, and the castle called out, sang as the Sorting Hat called out, "Welcome Home, Harry Potter-Rogers-Gryffindor!".
Albus got weakened again as another piece of white magic came from Albus into Harry, who called out, "Hogwarts, please hold Albus Dumbledore until first notice, and the keys, please.". Another piece of Albus's throne split away and changed into a red/golden chair at front of the Gryffindor tables. Harry then sat, and called out, "By the way, the name's Zappy! Professor, carry on!". Albus couldn't move a muscle yet he watched. Zappy traded a mischievous grin with Sirius.
McGongall, used to this already, continued on, calling one more foreign student, a dusty blonde haired boy with dark brown eyes by the name of Norville Rogers-Wood. He laughed, "Like, call me Shaggy! Everybody does.". He came to sit under the Sorting Hat, and got sorted into Hufflepuff. His disguise fell too, changing him into his adult form as he should be. Shaggy sat next to Remus, smiling in unison with him. One thing's for sure; Hogwarts is changing, and for good.
