Lily sat in the boat, very entranced. The rest of the first years were whispering excitedly.
Veronica leaned over from where she sat and whispered to Lily, "Pretty amazing, isn't it?"
"That's an understatement! It's beautiful!" Lily answered, still in awe.
The Hogwarts castle was gleaming from the lights inside and it was so big that about 20 cathedrals could fit into it. The lake was gleaming from the lights and it was black as night. Lily had never seen anything so beautiful. The castle looked about 1000 years old, but it wasn't falling apart. It wasn't one of those castles with a drawbridge but it did have turrets and wide doors.
"Why are we all whispering?" Ron asked, as if she had just noticed.
James and Sirius looked at them both.
"Yeah, James, why are we whispering?" Sirius said to James.
"Huh?" James had been staring at the engrossed Lily. His attention snapped back to Sirius. "Oh, I dunno."
***
When the boats had arrived at the castle, everyone got off to meet a frail lady dressed in black robes.
She told them that the Sorting would begin in a few moments and that your house would be like your family and all about the house points.
The lady, who was named Professor McGonagall, led the first years into the castle and right outside the Great Hall.
"Please wait here until I call you" Professor McGonagall said shortly, turned her heel and marched off into the Great Hall.
Of what Lily could see, the Great Hall was gigantic and the ceiling was an image of the sky. Ron had told her many spells had been placed on the old castle. She guessed the ceiling must be one.
Ten minutes later, McGonagall opened the doors wide enough so that about 6 students could go in at the same time.
Every single first year started talking quietly about the Sorting, and in the muggle-borns case, the ceiling.
(A/N-im gonna skip the details 'cause you all know what the great hall looks like!)
McGonagall placed a three-legged stool near the table where all the teachers sat, and positioned an old hat on it.
The hat opened its brim wide and sang:
I'm not as smart as other hats
But smart in other ways
I'm not as white as a chef's hat
Or chic as French berets
But I can tell you what you are
And read your thoughts you know
So if you put me on right now
I'll tell you where to go
The path of Slytherin is hard
For those who like to learn
If you are clever, quick and ready
Its there you'll find your turn
If you are patient, kind and true
Then Hufflepuff's for you
You'll fit right in this house if
You remain cheerful in all you do
In Gryffindor you'll have to know
Where all your loyalties lie
You'll have to be courageous too
And brave beyond the sky
Don't try to hide a thing from me
Because I can see it all
So just sit back, relax as you
Sit down upon the stool.
All the students in the Great Hall clapped enthusiastically as the Sorting Hat's song ended.
Lily was pondering hard. What house would she be in? She didn't exactly like to learn, so Ravenclaw wasn't her. Patient, kind and true? Nah, she was quiet but that didn't mean she was a patient, kind and true person. So that was two houses eliminated. Slytherin wasn't her treat, which was for sure. Lily saw the Slytherins at a table at the far end of the room. They definitely didn't look pleasant.
So that left one house, Gryffindor. She wasn't brave either. Lily started to get worried. What if the Sorting Hat didn't put her in any house? What would she do? Lily was left to her worries as McGonagall started calling of names.
"Ackue, Standley!" she yelled. A chubby boy strutted up the front where McGonagall was standing, and sat on the stool.
"SLYTHERIN!" the hat shouted.
The fat kid took his place proudly at the Slytherin's table.
A few minutes later, Ron's name was called. She was Sorted into Gryffindor; a second after the hat touched her head. Sirius Black was the same.
The Sorting took awhile until it reached Lily's name.
"Evans, Lilith" McGonagall called.
Lily nervously made her way through the crowd of first years and sat down on the stool carefully. She felt McGonagall put the hat on her head, and jumped as it covered her eyes and nose.
"Oh, great! Now I look like a total retard, with this dumb hat over my face!" Lily thought angrily. She didn't want to make a bad first impression on the school.
"No, Lily. The school doesn't think your retarded for having me slip over your eyes. It happened to all of them." A little voice in Lily's ear said smartly.
Lily almost screamed. A HAT talking? That was impossible, but then again, it was a magic school.
"I see that you're not fit for a Hufflepuff or a Ravenclaw. Gryffindor would suit you, but so does Slytherin. Hmm. . . Decisions, decisions." The Sorting Hat mused to Lily.
"Um.I don't really think Slytherin would suit me, don't you think?" Lily said, or rather, thought.
"Ah, it seems so, but, Lily, you must remember, appearance isn't everything." The Hat answered neatly.
Lily was surprised. She had thought that the Sorting Hat would agree with her. She DEFINETLY did NOT look like one of those, as his sister would say, freaky Slytherins!
The Sorting Hat seemed to have made up its mind, because it opened its brim, and hollered . . . . . . .
! @#$%^&*()
A/N-OOOOOOOOHHH!!!! What did it holler? Any preferences? Any? I'm all but willing too take ideas!! Well, REVIEW!!!
Bye-bye,
