THE MARAUDERS
CREATE
HAVOC AGAIN
Chapter 3
The
Marauders Get Sorted
"Firs'
years! Firs' years over here!" A BIG, burly man shouted over the heads of the
first years.
"Wow! He's as
big as a house I'd say," Lily whispered.
"Look at
those muscles!" Remus whispered back.
"Whoa!"
Someone shouted.
Lily and
Remus spun around. It was James and Sirius. "Looks like fun!" Lily exclaimed as
she dragged Remus over.
James and
Sirius were sliding down the slippery side of the train station on their butts.
"Yay!" They all yelled as they continued sliding down… and heading straight for
Snape! Without even bothering to turn, they crashed into him. The impact was so
great that all of them (including Snape) 'flew' over land and plunged right
into the lake. James, Sirius, Remus and Lily swam back to bank, splashing each
other playfully, oblivious to the rest.
"H-help!"
Snape screamed. He was thrashing about in the water. Almost lazily, Lily lifted
her wand and said, "Accio Snape!" And shivering with cold, Snape was summoned
right at Lily's feet.
"Wow! My
Summoning Charm worked!" Lily said.
"Five of yer
get into a boat!" Hagrid yelled.
So the four
of them crammed into the boat and pushed off, leaving Snape behind. Teeth
chattering, James asked, "Where's Peter?"
"Who cares!"
Sirius replied.
When they
reached the castle, Hagrid lifted a fist and knocked three times on the door.
Almost immediately, it was swung open by a witch, whose hair was caked with
mud. Hagrid bent over and whispered something into the witch's ear. She nodded
severely.
"Thank you,
Hagrid. Those who fell into the lake, meet me after the Sorting Ceremony."
"Uh-oh,
where's Snape?" Remus whispered.
"My name is
Professor McGonagall and I'm the Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts. I teach
Transfiguration. During the Sorting Ceremony, you try on the Sorting Hat, which
will sort you into four houses. You will learn more about them later."
Professor
McGonagall pushed open the doors to the Great Hall. "Wow…" Everyone said. It
was hung with ancient tapestry, lit by chandeliers. As they looked up, they saw
a sky filled with stars, exactly like the sky outside. Beautiful. Remus and
Lily were surprised to see a weird look on Sirius' face as he stared at the
ceiling. James, however, explained to them, including Peter who joined them at
that moment. "Sirius's obsessed with stars."
Just then,
Professor McGonagall brought in a tattered old hat and set it on a stool in
front of the first years that were standing in a line. The Hat started to sing.
I am just a Sorting Hat,
The Hogwarts School's Sorting Hat,
Tralalalala Tralalalala Yoo-de-li-dee
Gryffindor, the black haired man,
Whipped me off his head with a big 'amen'.
Tralalalala Tralalalala Yoo-de-li-dee
Slytherin, the snake charmer,
Made a chamber near a toi-oi-let
Tralalalala Tralalalala Yoo-de-li-dee
Ravenclaw, the bo-ok-worm,
Born with her head stuck in a book,
Tralalalala Tralalalala Yoo-de-li-dee
Hufflepuff, the blur-queen,
Got lost at least thrice a day,
Tralalalala Tralalalala Yoo-de-li-dee
THE HOGWARTS SORTING HAAAAAATTTTT!!!
(This song is stupid)
Everyone was
clapping and laughing hard after the song. Then Professor McGonagall started
reading out names from a scroll.
ACKERMAN,
LIONEL!
HUFFLEPUFF!
AMSPACHER, MANDY!
RAVENCLAW!
ARBUTHNOTT, CLAIRE!
SLYTHERIN!
BECHTEL, LOISEL!
RAVENCLAW!
BLACK, SIRIUS!
Sirius, who
was busy imitating the sorting hat walked to the Hat and put it on…
GRYFFINDOR!
The Gryffindor table erupted with cheers as Sirius
joined them.
BUCHANAN, TROY!
"Ahhh!!!"
Buchanan fell to the ground with a loud crash. The chair leg was broken… Or was
it broken off… by Sirius. Meanwhile, James, Remus and Lily were giggling.
Sirius was practically roaring with laughter at the Gryffindor table.
SLYTHERIN!
CHESNAY,
BARBARA!
HUFFLEPUFF!
CULPIN,
MILES!
RAVENCLAW!
CHISUM,
CHI!
GRYFFINDOR!
DUQUETTE,
JED!
HUFFLEPUFF!
EVANS,
LILY!
GRYFFINDOR!
Sirius was
yelling from the Gryffindor table. James and Remus slapped high-five.
HYNDS,
DIRK!
SLYTHERIN!
IRVINE,
NICOLE!
HUFFLEPUFF!
JESENOVEC,
AGNES!
SLYTHERIN!
KERR,
KIP!
RAVENCLAW!
LACINA,
BERYL!
SLYTHERIN!
LUPIN,
REMOLIUS!
"Remus!
You…you have a twin?" James asked. Before Remus could answer, the Sorting Hat
shouted…
SYTHERIN!
James was
gaping at Remus. If Remolius got sorted into Slytherin, Remus…
LUPIN,
REMUS!
GRYFFINDOR!
This time
Lily was catcalling and Sirius leapt to his feet to hug his friend.
MCAFEE,
MATHIDE!
HUFFLEPUFF!
OSTER,
CHARLEEN!
GRYFFINDOR!
PETTIGREW,
PETER!
Peter
stumbled forward. Forgetting there wasn't a stool to sit on anymore, he sat on
air. But gravity disagreed and sent him falling painfully on his seat.
GRYFFINDOR!
POTTER,
JAMES!
James
cat-walked all the way to the Sorting Hat, kissed Professor McGonagall's hand
and jammed the Hat on his untidy black hair. It barely touched his head when it
yelled…
GRYFFINDOR!
QUINE,
SADIE!
RAVENCLAW!
RAILE,
JEREMY!
HUFFLEPUFF!
RAUWOLF,
MARY!
SLYTHERIN!
RICHTER,

RAVENCLAW!
RYE,
HERBET!
HUFFLEPUFF!
SADLEY,
CHLOE!
GRYFFINDOR!
SCHMITT,
BENJAMIN!
RAVENCLAW!
SNAPE,
SEVERUS!
There was
silence. Everyone (except the Marauders) waited for Snape to try on the hat.
Professor McGonagall started to look worried. "Where's Snape?"
No one
answered until Remolius Lupin spoke up. "Professor, I last saw Snape when
they," he pointed at the Gryffindor table, "pushed him down into the lake. He
may have drown…"
"'Onsense! He
was fine. They got him out. I'm gonna find him," Hagrid bellowed. The Ceremony
continued without dear Snapey.
SEARS,
SOPHIA!
RAVENCLAW!
TAYLOR,
ROBIN!
HUFFLEPUFF!
THYLIN,
ABIGAIL!
SLYTHERIN!
TRUAX,
TONY!
RAVENCLAW!
UPTON,
EUNICE!
HUFFLEPUFF!
VITOLO,
ROY!
RAVENCLAW!
ZSCHECH,
JOSH!
GRYFFINDOR!
Rolling up
the scroll and picking up the Hat and picking up the remains of the chair,
Professor McGonagall left.
Dumbledore
stood up. "Welcome to another exciting year at Hogwarts. I would like to
introduce myself and some of the staff. I am Albus Dumbledore. Unfortunately,
Headmaster Dippet retired last year so I have been made the Headmaster of this
wonderful school. We have Professor Ophiuchus to take over the post of our
Potions master as well as head Of Slytherin House. Professor Binns is your
History of Magic teacher, Professor Koon teaches Defense Against Dark Arts,
Professor Trelawney is the Divination teacher, Professor Flitwick teaches
Charms and Professor Sinistra studies and teaches you about the heavenly
bodies…Ah, and Professor McGonagall, I personally prefer to call her Mindy…"
Everyone laughed. "Teaches Transfiguration. Ahem, I have a few announcements to
make. Students are not allowed to go near the Forbidden Forest. And…er…yes,
hoot, squeak, woof, meow."
"Potter,
Black, and your friends come with me," Professor McGonagall apparated beside
them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~
"What in the
world do you think you were doing? Explain yourselves."
"We were just
tobogganing in the lovely weather.
"What about
Snape? You think it was really fun leaving him at the train station, wasn't
it?"
"He didn't
want to come on the boat with us, Professor."
"So you left
him behind? Luckily you did this before the term started. No detentions but we
will notify your parents."
"Yes,
Professor. Er… Professor?"
"Yes?"
"What
happened to your hair?"
"Oh…that.
Peeves. A poltergeist, he dumped mud on my head… Go down to the Great Hall
while I get rid of the mud…"
"We have a
rival ghost!" Lily exclaimed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I'm Chloe
Sadley and this is Chi Chisum," the blonde said.
"I'm Remus
Lupin, this is Sirius Black, James Potter and Lily Evans. Oh, and Peter
Pettigrew."
"Mmmm…the
food's great isn't it?" Chi said.
"Yeah, I like
the steak."
"I like the
potatoes," Josh Zschech, the other first year said.
"Now that you
have eaten your fill, we will sing the school song. Pick a tune." Dumbledore
said.
James at the
Marauders and they started singing.
Pigwarts Pigwarts Piggy
Warty Pigwarts
Don't teach us anything please
Whether we be greasy hair
Or hooked-nose with sallow
skin
His head could do with some
filling
With some common sense
For now it's full with stink
pellets
Dead hippogriffs which makes
his head so big
So teach him things worth
knowing
Like how to shampoo his hair
Just do your best, he'll do
the rest
And learn until he washes
his hair…
Everyone at
the Gryffindor table fell over laughing. Even Dumbledore was laughing. "You
compose songs very well. But now, it's time for bed. Off you go."
Everyone
pushed and stumbled until they reached the Gryffindor tower. "Password?" The
Fat Lady asked.
"Corona
Borealis." A prefect said. Peter managed to climb into the Gryffindor common
room after the sixth attempt.
Falling into
the soft bed, James remembered about Remus' twin. "Hey, Remus, why did your
twin go to Slytherin?" There was no response. "Remus? Sleeping, I guess."
"'Night,
James," Josh said.
James ripped
open his curtain and grinned at Sirius, who grinned back….
