The James and Lily Series
Part I
Chapter 3—Sorting
The Hogwarts express finally arrived. Hagrid, the biggest man Lily had ever seen, led them across the lake to get sorted. Sirius took a long time explaining about the house to Lily.
In the hall, Lily sat with her new friends, while waiting to get sorted.
"I wish I'm in Gryffindor." Said James hopefully.
"So do I." Echoed Sirius.
"Potter James."
James nearly ran to the stool and as soon as he put on the hat, the hat shouted out:
"GRYFFINDOR!"
The Gryffindor table cheered.
"Tara Magester!"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Maya Piyavich."
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Malfoy Lucius."
"SLYTHERIN."
"Diggory Amoy."
"HUFFLEPUFF."
"Black Sirius."
"GRYFFINDOR."
"Petiggrew Peter."
"Sl…GRYFFINDOR!"
"Lupin Remus."
"GRYFFINDOR."
"Rose Sylvia."
"SLYTHERIN!"("Ah!" exclaimed Remus in disgust.)
(And so on)
"Evan Lily!"
Lily slowly walked to the stool and put on the sorting hat."
"Hmmm," said the hat, "you're very kind, loyal, and extremely brave and clever, a bit sneaky and very powerful. O, you're too hard. I dare say, you can choose between Slytherin and Gryffindor."
"Definitely Gryffindor." Thought Lily.
"You sure? Well, if you want to be a Gryffindor, then a GRYFFINDOR you shall be." Shouted the hat.
The Gryffindor Table cheered as Lily walked toward them.
The Gryffindor First Years were later joined by Frank Longbottom, a black hair gray eyed girl call Lesley Keith, and a brown hair blue eyed girl called Rebecca Shirley. Lily made friends with them immediately.
After the sorting was the delicious feast. The boy ate as much as they possibly can. But Lily didn't eat much.
"Why don't you eat? These meatballs are delicious." Asked Sirius.
"Excuse me, I'm a dancer, a singer, a player, a gymnast and a ice skater. How am I going to do those things if I get fat?"
Sirius rolled his eyed, "Whatever."
When the feast ended, the Gryffindors walked up to the common room.
"What do you think of Lily, my buddies?" asked Sirius.
"I think she's fine, but too much of a goodie-goodie." Said James.
"Yeah," agreed Remus, "she wouldn't break a rule if you pay her to."
"I don't think she fits in our group." Said Sirius.
"I think we should wait and see about that, we can't judge people when they've only been with us for a short time." Said James.
"Yeah, I agree with you again." Said Remus.
Just as they walked towards their bed, they heard the most wonderful music drifting from the girl's dorm…Lily was playing her saxophone.
