The four of them got off the train and made
their way towards the horseless carriages. Hagrid was, as usual, shouting,
"Firs' years over 'ere!" When he saw them, he waved and they waved back. "Who's
that giant?" asked Vicky, still staring at Hagrid while sitting in the
carriage. "He's Hagrid, our Care of Magical Creatures Teacher. We'll introduce
you guys later. He's very friendly," said Ron. The four of them sank back
contentedly into the soft, plush seats, as their carriage went past Hogwarts'
gates and stopped.
The door magically opened. Vicky stared
open-mouthed until the other three (who had already gotten off) had to pull her
out. "What's the matter with you?" asked Hermione, in a purposely patronising
voice. "This is all VERY new to me," answered Vicky. They made their way into
the Entrance Hall and entered the doors of the Dining Hall. Vicky's eyes
widened, as she took in the large banners hanging above the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw,
Hufflepuff and Slythern's tables. Noticing this, Harry said, "What's so amazing
this time, eh? Never seen such large banners before?" Ignoring his
tone, Vicky asked, "What do they have banners for anyway?" "You mean you don't
have houses to sort students in Salem?" Ron asked in a disbelieving voice, as
they sat down at the Gryffindor table. "Nah, we don't. What're the houses
anyway?" asked Vicky casually. "Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and
Slytherin," rattled off Hermione.
Vicky opened her mouth to say something, but
she was interuptted by Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan. "Hey, Harry, Ron,
Hermione. Who's the new chick eh?" asked Seamus peering interestedly at Vicky. "Vicky,
Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan. Dean and Seamus, Vicky Summers," said Hermione,
as Vicky blushed scarlet. "Nice ta meet you, Vicky," said Dean, going and
sitting down with Seamus. Just then, Professor Mcgonagoll walked in to the
Dining Hall, carrying a tattered hat and a stool. Following closely behind was
a long line of first years, looking all around them nervously. One girl looked
like she was close to tears, or so it seemed to Harry. Professor Mcgonagoll set
the stool down, put the sorting hat on top of it and stepped to one side.
Everyone stared at the hat, including the first years. It started to sing.
(A/N: I absolutely CANNOT make up songs for the world…im skipping that part…so sue me!!!)
Once it had
finished, everyone clapped and Professor Mcgonagoll unrolled a large sheet of parchment
and said, "When I call out your name, please come forward, sit on the stool and
slip on the hat. Anderson, Lucy!" As a girl with black hair in braids stepped out
of the line, Harry thought back to the time when he was a first year, nervous about
performing magic in front of everyone. As the line dawdled along slowly, Ron,
who was (as usual) hungry, massaged his stomach and muttered, "Hurry up already!"
Finally, the whole long line of First Years
were sorted. "Will, our new exchange student, Vicky Summers, please come here to
be sorted," said Professor Mcgonagoll, looking up from the scroll of parchment.
Vicky, who had turned pale, looked at the three of them nervously as she got up.
Ron gave her an encouraging look, as Harry and Hermione patted her on the back.
Vicky walked slowly to the sorting hat, as many people turned their heads to
look at her. Many were boys, they gaped
at her openly. Ignoring them, Vicky went up to the sorting hat, put it on and
sat down. After what seemed like eternity, the Hat shouted, "Slytherin!"
