Disclaimer I don't own Harry Potter.
A group of very excited but also very nervous first years followed Hagrid down a steep, narrow path and arrived at the edge of a great black lake.
"No, more then four to a boat." Hagrid said, Harry and Neville share a boat with Hermione as the rest of the first year's paired up.
"Everyone ready?" Hagrid said looking to see if all the kids were in the boats."Great, FORWARD!" Hagrid said and the fleet of small boats moved all at once gliding across the lake, everyone was silent and looked up in amazement as the large castle of Hogwarts came into view. The fleet of boats arriving at a small harbour like boat house and they got and of the boats and continued following Hagrid to the main entrance hall leading them to a tall black hair lady with a stern face.
"Thank you Hagrid, I can take it from here." she said taking the children just outside to Great Hall. "Welcome to Hogwarts I'm Professor McGonagall, now in a few minutes you soon being joining us. But first you will be sorted into houses. There's Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Your house will be like family, your triumphs will earn you points and rule-breaking and you will lose points at the end of year the house with the most points will win the house cup. I shall return when were ready." McGonagall said as she heads inside the great hall.
"What soft of test do you think it is?" Hermione said.
"My brother Fred said something about fighting a troll." Ron said talking to boy.
"A troll!" Harry shouted, making Ron and few another children look at him.
"If your so smart then tells us Saint Potter." Ron said as a the rest of the first years were whispering to each other talking about Harry Potter.
"My father told me, that they put a hat on your hat that can read your thoughts and puts you where best fits you." Harry said.
"Why, should we believe you? My father told by that your step-father is head snake and was once of You-Know-Who's top men." Ron said.
"Take that back, my father is a great man!" Harry said trying to calm himself down and was thankful then McGonagall had just return to retrieve them bringing them into the great hall, Harry smiled giving his father a wave and Snape smiled and nods back as McGonagall leads to the end of hall to stool and on top of stool was a dirty old hat.
"Now, when I call your name come up and I put the sorting hat on your head and you sorted. Abbot Hannah." McGonagall said.
"Hufflepuff" the hat said.
McGonagall continued to call out names till she got to Hermione.
"Gryffindor" the hat said.
Hermione happily runs over to Gryffindor table "Longbottom, Neville." McGonagall said.
"Good luck, Neville." Harry said as Neville nervously walks up.
"Gryffindor" the hat said.
Neville happily walks over to the table shaking Hermione's hand as well as few Gryffindor students.
"Malfoy, Draco." McGonagall said as blonde hair boy walks up.
The hat barely tough him before shouting "Slytherin."
McGonagall continued calling out names before getting to Harry, the entire room fell completely silent and sounds of people whispering about Harry can be heard. Snape pays extra close attention as he see his son stepping forward.
"Very difficult. You have a great deal of courage, loyalty, wisdom and determination" the hat said.
"My parents told me they don't care about what house I'm in, I just what to make them proud." Harry said.
"Yes your parents were great and power, and I also referring to mother and both of your fathers. Well lets see then, better be Gryffindor!" the hat said.
Harry happily runs over shaking Hermione and Neville's hand as well as a few another Gryffindor's before looking over at his father who was smiling back at him.
"Weasley Ronald." McGonagall said, as Harry looks over crossing hoping the hat won't say Gryffindor.
"Gryffindor" the hat said, Ron happily runs over shaking hands with few other redhead students as they congratulate there brother for being a Gryffindor. After everyone was sorted a old man with a long white beard stood up.
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts for any first years who don't know me I'm am Professor Albus Dumbledore your Head master. Now before we begin are feast I like to make a few announcements, first will you all please join me in welcoming back Professor Quirinus Quirrell who will be are new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." Dumbledore said as Quirrell stood up giving a smile before sitting back down. "Also first years are reminded that forest is forbidden to all students and this year I must tell you that on the third floor corridor is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a painful death, now may the feast begin." Dumbledore said and plates of all different types of food appeared on tables.
