~*~Not Your Average Mary Sue~*~
~*~Chapter 2: Mary Sue gets sorted into Gryffindor, so does Michaeleigh and so on and so forth~*~
It was a beautiful night when the first years got out of the train. Mary Sue had been complaining about how cold it was, but it had certainly warmed up. Either that, or it was the magic surrounding the wonderful castle that was warming her up. She had a humungous smile on her face as she and Michaeleigh, holding hands, made their way to a foggy lagoon.
"This place is so wonderful!" Mary Sue exclaimed.
"It is, isn't it," said Michaeleigh, in utter awe.
The two of them climbed into a boat with two other people. There was a very fat boy with freckles all over his face, and a girl who was so small, she looked to be about 8 or 9 years old. She had thin, blond hair that fell around her face in wisps, and she looked as if she were about to cry.
"Hello," Mary Sue said to the two kids.
The boy grunted a hello, and the girl said 'hi' so softly you could barely hear her.
"My name's Mary Sue," said Mary Sue. She felt awkward when almost a minute went by and neither student answered.
"I'm Michaeleigh," said Michaeleigh after a while. This made the boy's eyes light up.
"Hi Michaeleigh," he said. "I'm H. Thomas Houseman III."
Michaeleigh almost laughed.
"But you can call me Tom," he added.
"Hello Tom," said Michaeleigh.
"Oh look," said Tom. "We're nearly approaching the building! I can't wait for the Sorting Ceremony. My brother Max says it's great fun!"
"What year is he in?" asked Mary Sue.
"He's in third, so he thinks he's a hot shot."
"That's how my brother is. Billy-Nick." Now it was Tom's turn to almost laugh. "He's in fourth year, but my sister Nancy-Margaret is in the class with your brother?"
"How do you know?" asked Tom. "My brother's in Ravenclaw. What house is your sister in?"
"I don't know," said Mary Sue. "We just transferred here from The Atlanta Sorcery School back in Georgia. All my brothers and my sisters have to be re-sorted here."
"That happened to my aunt. She was traumatized after that," said a voice nobody recognized. Tom, Mary Sue, and Michaeleigh all looked to see that the voice was that of the tiny girl who was in their boat. They had almost forgotten she was there. She never got to finish her story though, because suddenly, the boat stopped in front of the castle, and with the help of a huge, wild-looking man, got out of the boat and stepped up to the door of the castle.
As if by magic, (and it probably was, no doubt) the door swung open in front of them! Inside was an elderly woman who looked like years didn't matter, and could probably still compete in a decathlon. But she didn't look like she wanted to at that particular moment. She had a stern look on her face, and her lips were pursed tightly together. She waved all of the students into a stuffy, crowed room to wait.
"Silence," she said. "Wait a moment in here until the rest of the school is settled. Then we will start the Sorting."
With that, she left, closing the door behind her.
There was silence, and then,
"What's next?" asked a boy who was tall and handsome. Mary Sue thought he must be at least thirteen, and shouldn't be in their class. Nobody answered him though. A lot of people were scared of what would happen next, some people just didn't have anything to say, but most, like Mary Sue, were afraid that if they said anything more, that mean-looking woman would come after their necks.
Ten minutes seemed like ten hours. Pretty soon, the professor opened the door again and let the students out into a humungous hall. Picture the biggest auditorium you've been in, and multiply it by 70. That was where they were, and it was filled with tables and tables of people, and up near the front of the room there was a humungous high table where all the Professors sat. Mary Sue began to feel uneasy. Whatever the Sorting was, she didn't want to have to do it in front of the whole school. She felt especially bad for her brothers and sisters, as they were transfer students and were entering in different years.
The stern looking elderly witch who came to be known as Professor McGonagall stepped forward and placed a tattered old hat atop a three legged stool in the front of the hall. The whole hall grew suddenly silent. Mary Sue's hands began to tremble, and her palms got sweaty. She didn't seem to hear the speech Professor McGonagall gave, or the song the hat sang, because she was too lost in thought. About what, she didn't rightly know. She finally snapped out of it by the stern sound of Professor McGonagall's voice.
"Alabaster, Fredrick!" she read loudly.
A short scrawny kid scrambled up to the stool and sat down on it and put the hat on his head. The hat covered over his eyes. He sat there for about half-a-minute, when finally the hat shouted "HUFFLEPUFF!!!"
The kid got off the stool and left the hat there for the next person.
"Arlington, Herbert!"
Herbert Arlington sat on the stool for quite some time before the hat shouted out, "GRYFFINDOR!"
Mary Sue remembered what Michaeleigh had told her on the train about Harry Potter being in Gryffindor. She decided that that's where she wanted to be. Time went on, and Mary Sue just kind of zoned out. The Sorting Ceremony was very boring. Garner, Barbara, the frail girl on the boat, was sorted into Ravenclaw, and Houseman, Henry Thomas III, or Tom, was sorted into Gryffindor.
Finally, "Jackson, Mary Sue," rang in everyone's ears. Mary Sue walked, legs trembling, up to the stool. She sat down and put on the hat.
"I like your hair," said the hat. Mary Sue had been surprised by this comment. She liked her hair too. It was flowing, wavy, auburn down to the middle of her back. She always said it was her favorite thing about her physical appearance.
"I know," said the hat. "You weren't expecting that." Mary Sue was amazed at how it new what she was thinking.
"So you want to be in Gryffindor, right?" Mary Sue didn't answer. "Because that's where Harry Potter was. Well, you're smart enough to be in Ravenclaw, and you would do very nicely in Hufflepuff, or Slytherin would be good too! Hufflepuff's a very good house. Your intellect will be more highly recognized in Ravenclaw. I think you should be in Ravencl - or, no, maybe Gry - Sly - Huff - . Hmm, tough decision. I think you had better go into…"
"GRYFFINDOR!!!" it shouted, for the whole hall to hear. Mary Sue took the hat off her head and left it on the stool for the next person to use. She made her way, legs shaking, to the Gryffindor table. She sat down in an empty seat next to Tom.
"I'm so glad I got Gryffindor!" Tom said. "I thought I was going to be in Ravenclaw, because that's where Max is, but I guess I was destined for Gryffindor all along!"
"Me too, I guess," said Mary Sue. She didn't dare tell Tom about how the Sorting Hat had trouble making his mind.
Pretty soon, Professor McGonagall called for Thompson, Michaeleigh, and Michaeleigh sat down on the stool. The hat was on her head for all of five seconds before it shouted, "GRYFFINDOR!" Everyone at the Gryffindor table applauded for Michaeleigh, but Mary Sue and Tom clapped the loudest.
"I'm so glad I made it!" exclaimed Michaeleigh. She embraced Mary Sue in a tight hug, and sat down in an empty seat.
After Michaeleigh, there was only Tram, Philip; Wagner, Cynthia; and Wayne, Stephen who were sorted. After that were the transfer students.
Dee-Dee, Leticia, Billy-Nick, and Joe-Jon Jackson were all sorted into Gryffindor. Nancy Margaret was sorted into Ravenclaw.
Tom looked at Mary Sue with utter amazement. "Hey! You knew that your sister was going to be in my brother's class!"
"Damn straight," Mary Sue said, with a smile.
A/N:
The end! For now. I'm just tired of writing presently. Stay tuned for chapter three: Mary Sue goes to her dorm, meets all the Gryffindors, has her first day of school, etc. etc.
But for now! Have a good night, and a pleasant tomorrow!!
