They sat down in the Great Hall, and waited.
"I wonder which House, Ray'll be in."
Then, the 1st years walked in, all seeming a little overawed. Ray at the back of the line, her face made her look younger than the others, but she held her head high, and looked somewhat older.
"Well, we'll soon find out." Hermione whispered, as the Sorting Hat burst into song.
"I look into your mind, and see, Surprising things that startlingly. But from the corners of your mind, Little things I begin to find.
"From what I notice, I decide, Which the houses, would match your mind.
"Rumours say Hufflepuffs are duffers, This I tell you is not true, For loyalty and friendship, It is the Hufflepuffs, I turn to.
"Rumours say Griffendores, can't make plans, I would like to announce that this, too, is wrong. The Griffendores are always noble, Their hearts always strong.
"Rumours say Ravenclaws are boffins and swots. This, I tell you, is most definitely not. They are clever, with a steady mind. This is where I place, those that kind.
"Rumours say Slytherines, deceive every kind, This is not what I look for in your mind. Instead I look for ambition, And cunning for every situation.
"So trust me, and pick me up. (You might pick up the house cup, one day) Place me on your head. No one here has their mind unread. I will know where you belong. So that's the end of my song."
Professor McGonagal told the 1st years what would happen. And the sorting began. Slowly, one by one, each was sorted, with the traditional cheers.
Finally only Ray was left. Then Dumbledore stood up.
"It is rare, that a student comes to us, from another wizarding school. However, this year we do. I would like to introduce a transfer student, from Spiro, the Spanish school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Who will be placed in the fifth year."
"Tattasule, Raquel." McGonagall announced. Harry did a double take, he looked at Ron and Hermione, they were both surprised. Ron's mouth was wide open, while Heroine's eyebrows were shooting high. Harry glance at the twins, they were both smiling slightly, a fire burning in their eyes, deep down, the fire that burnt, when a trick was being planned by them.
Rae walked quickly to the stool, and the hat was placed on her head, it covered her head completely, almost slipping over her shoulders.
Three minutes from, maybe four, passed. A short time, but Harry knew that for Rae, it must seem like eternity. The twins had the fingers crossed, staring at the hat. Then finally the hat announced,
"Griffindore!" The twins punched the air, and led the cheering, as Rae walked quickly to the table, she shook hands with the prefects, and the twins gave her 'five'. She slips into the space between, as Dumbledore commenced his usual speech.
During the feast, Harry, Ron and Hermione turned towards Rae.
"You never said you were from Spiro." Harry said
"You never said you were 15." Hermione said
"You never said you were a girl." Ron said
"You never asked. Does it matter?" Rae said
"Yes!" Harry, Heroine and Ron said together.
"Oh, sorry." Rae apologised cheekily, with twinkling her Rae. She turned away and chatted with the twins.
After the feast Dumbledore stood up.
"Many of the new students, will have probably heard the claims of Tempus. Namely that Voldemort," here everyone winced "had returned. I'm afraid they are true. Here at Hogwarts, we have already had our number reduced, by one, due to him. But if we stick together, we will be safe. And be assured, this is the safest place for you to be.
"However, do not venture into the Forbidden Forest." He glanced at the Weasly twins, who tried to look innocent, and failed. "It is dangerous, to those who do not know it's ways.
"On a slightly happier note, I would like to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher: Professor Armstrong." Here he indicated a young teacher with long ash blonde hair, in a pony-tail, dark brown eyes; wearing a simple black robe, with a single golden star embroidered on the right shoulder.
"And that is all, for today. Enjoy the year!"
Harry, and Ron and Hermione led the first years to the Griffendore tower, and showed them to dorms.
When later Harry went to storm, he noticed Rae, Fred and George in deep discussion, she was settling in fine. But he couldn't help feeling that he'd seen her before, and that she was hiding something from everyone.
