Chapter Three
As they walked into the great hall, Lily gasped. She had never imagined such a weird and great place. It was lit by
thousands of candles, and the ceiling
was exactly like the sky outside. There were four, long tables, with students seated at them, and at the top of the
hall was another long table with the
teachers seated at it.
Suddenly a hat started singing:
"Oh you may not think I am pretty, but don't judge on what you see.
I'll eat myself if you can find a smarter hat then me…"After the sorting song, the whole Hall burst into applause, and after bowing to the four tables the hat became still
again. Now, Professor McGonagall,
stepped forward with a long roll of parchment and said,
"When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted." She looked down at the roll of
parchment and the sorting began.
=========================================================================================
Lily stared nervously out at the huge crowd if people in front of her. No one had said anything about doing the
sorting in front everyone!! Finally Lily relaxed and she realized that she could get into any house (Except
Slytherin which hated Muggle born witches) and be perfectly fine. Still, Lily wanted to be with her friends. Who
wouldn't? As Lily was happily day dreaming, she missed part of the sorting, so she was very surprised to find out
that it was her turn.
Evans, Lily --- Lily walked across the large stage to the dirty old hat, which was sitting on a brown wooden stool.
As she placed it on her hair filled head.
*Ah* the hat said into Lily's brain, you will be hard to place. You are fit for all of the houses. Loyalty is hufflepuff,
Wisdom is Ravenclaw, Bravery is Griffindor, and cunning is Syytherin*
"Nooo!!" Lily screamed out loud. "Anywhere but there!!"
"Who wants to bet she was talking about Slytherin," asked James sniggering loudly.
No one took the bet.
*Ok you had better be Griffindor!!!! * The sorting hat said to Lily finally 5 minutes later.
Lily grinned in relief, put the hat back on the stool, and walked over to the Griffindor table where Sirius who was
also in her house greeted her.
"Great going' Lil'" he said "Cross your fingers for Rinda, Lily, and James."
"Oh I met this boy named Remus; he seemed really nice…." said Lily.
"Ok, include him too."
"Thanks."
"Welcome."
After the sorting ceremony and the feast, Professor Dumbledore said," May I have your attention please! May I
please see Misses Rinda, Lily, Tori, and Misters James, Remus, and Sirius in my office right now?
Thank you and good night"
All six of the children had gotten into the same house, so they were conversing back and forth. Apparently, they
all loved making mischief and doing pranks, so before Dumbledore's announcement, they were thinking of a title
for their newfound group.
(How about mischief makers? Asked Lily,
"No how about Marauders?" Asked James
"Wait, I've got it; The Hogwarts Six" said Tori.
Everyone agreed. )
Now five of The Hogwarts Six were worried out of their minds.
What had they done? The year had just started so they could not have done anything-yet. Sirius, was being his
usual strange self, so from that point on, he want to get called to Dumbledore's office as many times possible.
