Story: This not edited, not done at all! Rough Draft! This story is long for a real short story, but short for an actually chapter story.
And, don't read it and then tell me all the errors in it. I know it is full, I just wrote, and I'm posting it so my beta can read it. Don't say I didn't warn you! That's why I say unedited.
A/N: As I said, this isn't edited, so if I suddenly switch from 3rd character to first, sorry! I'm having trouble deciding which I should do it in.
Disclaimer: yadda yadda yadda, I don't own the Marauders, Lily, Arabella or Clare. I do own however Lealia and Ensile, as well as the plot, but it is following certain guidelines.

The Sorting
Lealia gingerly jumped out of the carriage. She looked in awe at the castle before her. Sure, she'd been in good castles before, but most were fake, made for the movies. This was full fledge, real magical castle.
Lily grabbed Lealia's arm and pulled her along towards the entrance. She seemed to be looking for someone. "Professor McGonagall!" she called out. Lealia strained to see who Lily was calling to. A tall, skinny witch with a black bun turned towards them.
"Yes Miss Evans?" the witch asked in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Professor McGonagall, this is Lealia Kescle." Lily began. "She is here at Hogwarts for this year. I do believe she must be sorted?" the last part was more of a statement then a question.
McGonagall looked down at her notebook. "Yes, Miss Kescle, please come with me." Lily started to follow as McGonagall lead Lealia down the hall. "Miss Evans, go to your table please. You can see Miss Kescle later." Lily grudgingly walked towards the great hall.
McGonagall lead Lealia through so many turns that her head started to spin. Finally the stopped at a large gargoyle. "Kimsly Pie." The gargoyle jumped to life. Lealia jumped, in fear and in excitement. The gargoyle had revealed a silvery staircase. Lealia followed McGonagall upwards.
They emerged in a large circular room. Lealia looked around in awe at her surroundings. The items were fascinating. Her eyes fell on a cage in the corner. "A phoenix!" she screeched. Lealia had gotten to act with a phoenix once, they fascinated her.
"Yes, that's Fawkes." A voice rang out. Startled, Lealia looked around. Sitting behind the desk was an old man, with a long silvery black bread. His gray eyes had a twinkle them and he was smiling.
Lealia shyly moved towards him. Sure she'd meet a lot of famous people before, it was the interesting normal ones that made her nervous. "Good afternoon sir." she said keeping her voice steady.
The man smiled at her and looked her in the eyes. Lealia tried to keep his gaze, it showed maturity. "You must be Miss Kescle." he said, "I, am Professor Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts school." Lealia nodded. "You are here this year to make a movie am I correct." Again Lealia nodded. She wasn't feeling quite so nervous any more. "Good." he said simply. "You will be sorted this evening into a house. First years will be done first, then exchange students and you will go last." Lealia nodded a third time.
Dumbledore stood up. "Good, I'll need to talk to you tomorrow morning, but let us go get some food." Dumbledore lead the way out of the entrance. Lealia gave one look back at Fawkes, and followed.
Again they traveled through a maze of corridors. They emerged in the gigantic room with 4 large tables in the middle of the floor, and one on a raised platform. Lined up along the platform where what looked like the first year. "Take you place behind them." McGonagall said to Lealia, who complied.
Dumbledore took his place in the middle of the teachers table. He tapped his glass and the noise stopped. "Before we begin Sorting, I have an announcement to make. This year Hogwarts has been selected as set for an upcoming movie." Murmurs could be heard throughout the crowd. Lealia caught site of Lily and the boys at the left hand table. "Students will be eligible to be cast, but the camera crew is to be ignored. They wish to film in a natural school, so we are expected to act as if they aren't there. Only 2 roles were cast for the movie," Dumbledore continued, "A heroine, and an evil witch. This heroine will be attending classes and behaving like a normal student. May I introduce, Miss Lealia Kescle." there was a silence through the Great Hall and then applause. Dumbledore tapped his glass again. "Miss Kescle will be sorted into a house after everyone else. Professor McGonagall, please start Sorting."
A ratty old hat was brought forward on a stool. It began to sing a song of the four founders. Lealia listened, intrigued by the hat. Soon McGonagall started to call the names. One by one the first years stumbled to the front, put on the hat, and stumbled to the respective table.
Finally all the first years were done. McGonagall introduced the exchange students. They all were sorted as well. It was Lealia's turn. She stepped forward and the hat dropped over her eyes.
"Hello!" it said. Lealia jumped. It'd talked to her.
"Of course I talked to you, how else am I supposed to decide what house to put you in?" the hat said.
'I dunno.' Lealia thought.
"Of course you don't, that's why I'm talking and you are listening." the hat spoke again. "Now, you are quite clever , Ravenclaw would fit you well. But there is lots of loyalty in you, Hufflepuff is good with that. Now, you also wish to be successful, Slytherin can help you with that. Ah, but you are plenty brave." The hat spoke sharply. "Gryffindor might be the choice.
"Well, what is it?" Lealia was getting impatient. She'd been sitting there for over a minute.
"I think that Hufflepuff is out of the question, you are loyal, but know when to break someone trust. Now Ravenclaw, you are very clever, but then you need a push now and then to get motivated." Before Lealia could interrupt, the hat continued. "Now that leaves Slytherin and Gryffindor. Your greatness could be increased in Slytherin."
Lealia interrupted. "I don't wish to be great." she snapped. "I wish to get into a house so I can stop sitting here like a fool."
"Oh, brave, brave indeed. Most people would never speak to a wise Thinking Cap like me that way." it was babbling again. "So, where indeed to put you....." suddenly it yelled, "GRYFFINDOR!"
Lealia ripped the hat off and headed towards the left table which had started cheering. She sunk into a seat next to Lily. "That was fun." She mumbled.
Dumbledore spoke again, about the new things that were banned, where students couldn't go, and how to act around the camera men. Lealia noticed he seemed to speak straight to Sirius and James, who were trying their best to look innocent.
Finally we started to eat. Lealia was fascinated how the food appeared from no where. Sirius explained to her about the house elves and the kitchen below. He made one comment that she couldn't shake though, "For a famous witch you certainly don't know a lot about wizarding world ways." Lily cut him off.
Soon after the feast was over, Lealia followed Lily up more stairs. They found themselves at a portrait. Lily said the password, "Flying Lions." And they went inside. If Lealia hadn't been so exhausted she would have been totally off the walls with the interior of the common room. It was so nice and cozy. Lily lead the ways up the stairs to 4th years dorm room. Their trunks were already.
"It's great that you are here. It's been just me, Arabella and Clara since our other roommates transferred to other schools. Florence moved to America, and Wendy now is in Africa. But I'm glad you are here." Lily suddenly seemed shy.
"I'm glad I am here too." Lealia said sleepily. She yawned widely, "But if I don't go to sleep Ensile will kill me!" Lealia said good night and climbed into bed in clean pajama's. She soon was fast asleep.
