Chapter 2:Sorting Hat?!
"Hello. For those of you that don't know" she stopped to glance at Max "This is Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. I'm Professor McGonagall. I am the transfiguration teacher in this school." She smiled and brought them into a beautiful looking hall. "This is the Great Hall," said McGonagall. They all sat at the Gryffindor table except Max, who was put in front of the first years to be sorted. The hat then sang a song:
A thousand years or more ago,
When I was newly sewn,
There lived four wizards of renown,
Whose names are still well known:
Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,
Fair Ravenclaw, from glen,
Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad,
Shrewd Slytherin, from fen,
They shared a wish, a hope, a dream,
They hatched a daring plan
To educate young sorcerers
Thus Hogwarts School began.
Now each of these four founders
Formed their own house, for each
Did value different virtues
In the ones they had to teach.
By Gryffindor, the bravest were
Prized far beyond the rest;
For Ravenclaw, the cleverest
Would always be the best;
For Hufflepuff, hard workers were
Most worthy of admission;
And power-hungry Slytherin
Loved those of great ambition.
While still alive they did divide
Their favorites from the throng,
Yet how to pick the worthy ones
When they were dead and gone?
'Twas Gryffindor who found the way,
He whipped me off his head
The founders put some brains in me
So I could choose instead!
Now slip me snug about your ears,
I've never yet been wrong,
I'll have a look inside your mind
And tell where you belong!
The hall thundered with applause as McGongall called "Lunaris, Max!" to the hat. Max hurried to the hat. He put it on and heard it saying, "Hmmmm. You're extremely hard to place. You're a hard worker. Your very ambitious. You're brave and clever. You seem bravest of all. You'd do well in Slytherin with bravery and ambition. Maybe not. Then, how about GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted the last word very loud and he scurried away to the Gryffindor table next to Hermione, Ron, and Harry. The sorting went on. It stopped eventually and Max, Hermione, Ron, and Harry went to the common room. They sat down and just sat, not saying anything. Then, a Snowy owl came in. "Justice! You came back!" He took the letter and said, "Here's some leftover food. You may rest now," She flew away and Max read the letter.
Dear Max,
How're you? I miss you. I wish I could visit you. I'll see you in the summer, ok? Enclosed is a list of what you're getting from me (I've missed out a lot of birthdays and Christmas's) So. Just wanted to say Hi and I'll see you soon!
Your Godfather,
Gene Lunaris
How could he forget? He had a godfather! He saw the letter was longer with the list including over 100 chocolate frogs and a new Firebolt. Harry saw it and smiled, "I guess he really likes you like my Godfather does" Max nodded. They entered the dormitories and there was something different. There was the Four-poster for Harry, a Four-poster for Ron, a Four-poster for Neville, a Four-poster for Dean, and a Four-poster for Seamus. Except, the dormitory looked bigger. It had another Four-poster clearly labeled, "Max Lunaris" Harry nodded and to Max's surprise,
his trunk was there. It was his Four-poster with Ron and Harry in the same dormitory. He soon fell asleep to be awoken the next morning with a surprise...
