Chapter 4: Hogwarts:
The first years all entered the Great Hall with some apprehension. The candles floated above them in midair while ghosts flitted here and there. There were 4 tables plus a staff table at the very front, where all the teachers were sitting. Many heads turned to stare as the first-years walked in, scared and looking up anxiously at the ceiling, which matched the sky outside. All except three boys.
They stopped before a three-legged stool with an old, frayed hat with a rip at its brim. Professor McGonagall unrolled a long sheet of parchment. "When I call your name you will go and sit down on that stool and place the Sorting Hat on your head, which will sort you into your houses. It has already sung its sorting song. Now, if you are ready," she adjusted her glasses,
"Ackroyd, Matthew!"
A scared-looking boy put on the hat, then jumped as the hat's brim opened and it shouted,
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Afandon, Terry!"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Amara, Rachel!"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Arakan, Geoffrey!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
The boy slouched off. He certainly had a nasty look on his face.
"Atkins, Colin!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Attenborough, Philip!"
"RAVENCLAW!"
Awdrey, Katarina!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
Barton, Michael went to Ravenclaw, but Belton, Sophie became the first Gryffindor. A few more people, then,
"Black, Sirius!"
Sirius grinned, but was quiet.
"Black, Sirius! Sirius Black! Where are, you, Black?" McGonagall barked. Sirius grinned again toothily. "I just wanted the school to hear my name a couple more times, Professor," he said cheekily, and walked upto the stool.
"Aah.another Black?" the hat said as he put it on. "Well, your family belongs in Slytherin, but you are an exception, so..GRYFFINDOR!"
The table cheered as Sirius walked towards the Gryffindor table. His cousin Andromeda catcalled, but there were jeers from the Slytherin crowd.
"Darton, Emily!"
'RAVENCLAW!"
"Dorsky, Peter!"
"HUFFELPUFF!"
Then,
"Evans, Lily!"
As soon as Lily put on the hat it shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" and she strode off looking confident. Sirius's face darkened at the sight of her but she pretended not to notice.
"Femnae, Petra!"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Jason, Alice!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Jelkare, William!"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Kalven, Alice!"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Longbottom, Frank!"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Then it was,
"Lupin, Remus!"
Remus looked ashen-faced. He walked to the hat, his hands clenched by his sides. He put the hat on his head,
"GRYFFINDOR!"
He looked immensely relieved, sitting down on the seat next to Sirius.
"Matten, David!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
The boy swaggered off with a sneer plastered on his face.
"Malfoy, Lucius!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Natwell, Paul!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Pettigrew, Peter!"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Remus's face dropped along with his jaw.
Then,
"Potter, James!"
James walked to the front in a dignified fashion, not waving at anyone but keeping his face bland and expressionless. He put the hat on his head, which immediately shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" as soon as his head touched it and James, looking extremely happy, joined Sirius and Remus at the table.
"Reltor, Madison!"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Snape, Severus!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
After Wellman, Robert ("HUFFLEPUFF!") had been sorted, the hat and stool was taken away and Professor Albus Dumbledore stood up. "Welcome!" he said. "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! And welcome to our new students as well! The Forbidden Forest is out of bounds to anyone who does not want to commit suicide." Many people laughed. "Our new AND old students should remember this." His gaze lingered on the Gryffindor table.
"Well then, if that is all..let me now conclude with
simply two words - help yourselves!"
"Go Prof!' Sirius yelled above the hubbub. Dumbledore smiled, his blue eyes twinkling. "I am quite sure you will be singing a different tune by the end of this feast, Mr. Black."
Sirius snorted. "Sure, Prof."
After the plates had been cleared, Dumbledore stood up again and clapped his hands for attention.
"Your attention, ladies and gentlemen!" he said loudly. "We shall now finish off with the school song." He swished his wand and words came out of the end. "Choose your favourite tune..and begin!"
And the entire school bellowed,
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, teach us something please, Whether we be old and bald Or young with scabby knees. Teach us something worth knowing Bring back what we've forgot Just do your best, we'll do the rest Til all our brains do rot."
Dumbledore smiled at the end. "We have decided to modify it slightly. That is why we are going to sing it again at the end of the year. Now - chop chop! Up to bed!"
Sirius, James and Remus followed the Prefects up to the Gryffindor common room. They were given the new password (Glumbumble) and immediately ran up to their new dormitory who they were sharing it with Frank Longbottom and (to Remus's disgust) Peter Pettigrew.
"Well, that was quite good, don't you think?" James yawned as they got into bed and turned the lights off.
"I s'pose," Sirius replied. "Dumbledore's a cool old bat, don't you think?"
'Aye aye cap'n." Remus saluted, laughing.
