Chapter 6-Not Slytherin, Please Not Slytherin

They arrived at the castle quickly. Many people were "ooohing" and "ahhing", the four girls beings some of them. They walked into the entrance hall, where, Hagrid, dropped them off. They were now standing in front of a very stern looking witch. Her black hair was pulled back tightly into a perfect bun.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. I am Professor McGonagall, I teach transfiguration, and am head of the Gryffindor house. In a very short time, you will be sorted into your house. While you are here, your house is like your family. You will sleep, eat, have classes, and do various other things with them."

She continued to talk for a few minutes, before rushing out to see if they were ready for the first years. After she left, many whispers could be heard throughout the enormous group of first years. The old witch quickly returned, claiming that they were ready. The first years clambered into the Great Hall, waiting anxiously, but nervous to be sorted. there was a 4-legged-stool with a very old hat sitting on it in the front of the Great Hall. After a few seconds, which seemed like very long minutes to the first years, the hat's brim ripped and it started singing. Many jumped at the sound, Lily was one of them. The song was very entertaining, but Lily didn't hear most of the words, she was far to nervous. Soon after it ended, the Great Hall broke into applause. McGonagall spoke again.

"When I call your name, please come up here and sit on the stool and place the hat on your head."

She took out a long roll of parchment and started reading off of it.

"Abbot Susan"

That hat sat on her head for about three seconds before calling out Ravenclaw. Professor McGonagall called out three other names before she reached: Black, Sirius. He walked away from the group and up to the stool. In no time at all, the hat had shouted out: "GRYFFINDOR". After a few more names, it called out Carlton, Amanda. Amanda also left the group and walked up and placed that hat on her head. It wasn't six seconds before if called out "GRYFFINDOR". Many more names were called out before reaching the "E's". Soon enough, three people with a last name starting with E were called up before Evans, Lily. Lily walked up to the stool. She knew she wanted Gryffindor. Suddenly, a voice spoke in her head. "Ahh! Much talent I see, very cunning, good for Slytherin, brave, also good for Gryffindor. But I must say Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff would suit you nicely too. What do you think?" "Not Slytherin, Please not Slytherin" thought Lily. "No? Not Slytherin? Ok, Then it must be...GRYFFINDOR". Lily smiled and ran and sat by Amanda with Sirius across from her. Soon, it came to Lupin, Remus. It wasn't long before Remus joined Lily, Amanda, and Sirius at the Gryffindor table. Pettigrew, Peter was the next name that paid a lot of attention to, although the boys didn't stop to notice that Malfoy, Lucious was placed in Slytherin. "Like his father" said Sirius. Once again, it wasn't long before both Peter and James were sitting at the Gryffindor table. They were all praying that Jen and Cassidy would be sitting by them soon. Many more names were called, including Serveus Snape, who also became a Slytherin, before Whittler, Jennifer was called. Jen walked up and put the hat on her head. It was about one minutes before the hat called out "GRYFFINDOR". The seven put their hands together as the next name was called out. "Williams, Cassidy". Cassidy, like all others before her walked up. There was only a few more to be sorted now. Soon enough, all eight friends were sitting together at the Gryffindor table, happily eating. Dumbledore had recently warned them not to go into the Forbidden Forest, or near the Whomping Willow; a new tree that was just planted; unless they wanted to spend some time in the hospital wing. Lily noticed at the remark about the Whomping Willow that Remus had looked down and wouldn't look bad up for a few minutes. Lily though, seemed to be the only one who noticed and figured it was just her imagination.

It wasn't long after the sorting before Dumbledore said a few of his own words that no one knew what they meant and told everyone to "Dig in". And as soon at the plates and tables filled themselves with food, they did just that. Everyone left the table, following two sixth year prefects to the Gryffindor Portrait Hole. It had a picture of a rather large lady where a pink dress.

"Password?" she asked

One of the prefects spoke up.

"Squashed berries"

Lily leaned over towards Jen, "What kinds of password is that?"

Jen just simply shrugged and shook her head. Before long they were standing inside the common rooms, listening to the prefects talking. Soon enough, they were up in their dormitories sleeping soundly. Lily woke early the next day, well, before anyone else anyways. She took this time to take a quick shower and get dressed. She did her hair and made sure she was ready. By this time, Jen, Amanda, and Cassidy had awoken, along with Tracy, the other girl in their dormitory. Once they were all ready, they headed down to the common room. The four boys were also there and it didn't take them any time before saying "Took you long enough"

They headed down to breakfast together. Once they got their schedules, they were quite disappointed to find that they had Potions and Flying with the Slytherins'. Soon, enough they were already through classes with Mr. Drolsberry, the Potions teacher who was incredibly, well lets just say, unpleasant. They had gotten through many other classes very quickly that day. It passed quite fast but none the less, the teachers still pilled on the homework.
