"Oooooo! It's like out of a fairy tale!" said Kelsey with great amazement as they walked
through the entrance hall. "Excuse me are you Ms. Taylor?" asked a lady as she walked
up to the four of them.
Kelsey nodded. "Then you'll need to come with me and the first years to get sorted."
"Um, okay uh bye you guys!" Kelsey said to her new friends and walked on with the lady and the first years. Kelsey watched, transfixed, as a strange looking
hat sang and then sorted many first years into houses. "Taylor, Kelsey"
"Great" Kelsey thought knowing little about the houses except what Hermione had
explained to her. She'd said stay far away from Slytherin (most turn out to be dark wizards)
but the main definition is they're ambitious, Hufflepuffs are hard workers, Ravenclawis for smart people, and Gryffindor is for people
who are brave (I hope you're in Gryffindor! You'll be with us).
Kelsey listened as the hat started to talk to her mumbling about houses. She wondered if the school could hear the hat, "how embarrassing," she thought.
"Oh don't worry they can't hear me," said the hat.
"You can read my thoughts??" she thought. "Yes. Now let me see, hmmm, you would make
a great Ravenclaw you seem to be very bright and inquisative," the hat said to her. "or maybe a
Hufflepuff, I sense much dedication in you" the hat continued to find her qualities. "What about
Gryffindor?" she thought, remembering that Hermione, Ron, and Harry were
in Gryffindor, wanting to not have to go through the embarrassment of making new
friends. "Hmm Gryffindor let me see" the hat started mumbling about not understanding yet, true bravery later,
yada yada, (Kelsey was too nervous to listen properly), the hat continued. "You do have many qualities of bravery
in you, true of heart, so if that's what you want better make it...."
"Gryffindor!" the hat shouted. The Gryffindor table started to applaud as Kelsey walked over to the table and sat next
to Hermione. "I'm so glad you ended up a Gryffindor," whispered Hermione. Just then food appeared on their
plates. Kelsey was starving and didn't talk much during the dinner.
When they were all finished Dumbledore announced the standard (but new to Kelsey) rules about the forest, etc.
"So where are we going now?" Kelsey asked Hermione. "To the Gryffindor common
room," Hermione said, "from there we'll go up to the girl's dormitory so you can
settle in. By the way you might want to remember that password too," she said as they walked into the common room.
"Oh great I didn't hear it what is it?" Kelsey said, embarrassed. "Don't worry about it it's Flighty Fireflies don't forget,"
replied Hermione. The girls said good night to the boys and walked up to their dormitory to settle in for the first night of the new term.
