A/N - Yes, I know it's short, but bear with us. Italics are Ranma's
thoughts. (Except the very last line.)
Sorting Things Out
The Great Hall filled with applause and cheers as the Sorting Hat finished its song, but some were more cheerful than others. "When I call your name , please step up to the stool and place the Sorting Hat on your head." Professor McGonagall told told the first years. " Blair, Nyara!" Our engagement is OVER!! Her words echoed through Ranma's head. I know she's said that many times before, but this time she actually sounded serious.he thought. Only earlier on that day had Akane stormed out of the compartment door on the Hogwarts Express, leaving the group before he could explain. It seemed liked forever. "RAVENCLAW!!!" the Sorting Hat shouted. "Carver, Jaquie!" McGonagall continued. Were those tears I saw in her eyes as she left? "HUFFLEPUFF!!!" "Coldry, Annie!" Was she mad, or.sad? "SLYTHERIN!!!" "Coldry, Elspeth!" I can't believe Shampoo and Kodachi made up those lies, they knew what would happen! "SLYTHERIN!!!" "Creevey, Kira!" Before Ranma's next thought could form, the hat shouted, "SLYTHERIN!!!" and two loud wails could be heard from Colinh and Dennis Ceevey behind him. "What?!? That's gotta be wrong!" they cried in dismay. He looked up and focused his eyes and` saw a skinny girl with a dark complexion, dark brown hair and grey eyes walking towards the Slytheriun table with a smirk of satisfaction on her face. "What's wrong?" he asked as he turned towards the two brothers. "She's our sister, didn't you hear? We thought she would be in Gryffondor, like us." Colin replied. "Well, I was kinda dist." Ranma trailed off at their confused looks. "Anyway, Why is she going into Slytherin? Aren't you muggle born?" "We are, it's just. my mom adopted her when I was seven. She, I guess, is full-blooded if she can go into that house." McGonagall - loudly - cleared her throat and continued the ceremony. "Harvey, Christopher!" "Huh," Ranma turned from the Creeveys and sunk back into his unhappy thoughts as the hat shouted: "HUFFLEPUFF!!!" "Hays, Tanja!" Akane. That's most likely why they said those completely unbelievable stories; so Akane would, as always, believe them instead of me and turn her back. "GRYFFINDOR!!!" the table around him exploded into cheers, but cheers that didn't break the hard shell of his deep thoughts. "Jaxom, Charlotte!" I couldn't even be able to begin to understand why she believes them all the time, even if it's perfectly clear they aren't saying the truth. How could I have spent the summer in China with Shampoo if I was right there at the dojo? "SLYTHERIN!!!" "Kendra, Samuel!" Why believe them, when they're the ones who hate her and trying to split us up? I don't hate her at all, I. How do I feel? "RAVENCLAW!!!" "Knight, Star!" He looked down the table at Akane, who was watching the table indifferently. "GRYFFINDOR!!!" By the time the table erupted into applause a second time, Ranma was back in deep thought. He never even heard "Leinwebber" or "Martin." I know I like her, but. He tried to see his true feelings. "RAVENCLAW!!!" "Moon, Tobias!" Do I. love her? Ranma was stunned. I'd never thought of it that way before. "GRYFFINDOR!!!" While the table welcomed the new first year, he sat, frozen, with a stunned look on his face. He stayed that way for quite some time. "Nelson!". "Petula!". "Shock, Micheal!" No I don't! What are you thinking, Ranma? Of course you don't love her! He looked back at Akane. "GRYFFINDOR!!!" This time he noticed, and weakly joined in with the cheering, but immediately started thinking again. He vaguely remembered Professor Dumbledor giving his speech when mountains of food appeared in front of his nose. The sight tore all thoughts from his mind as he started to devour his meal.

That night everyone fell fast asleep with a full stomach. Everybody except one student. A purple and white cat stalked down the hall, tail twitching with anticipation, keen ears hearing every noise, loud or soft. Finally she reached her destination - the dungeons. While everyone was feasting and having a good time, she had slipped out of the great hall and into the forbidden section of the library to get a specific book. A book with the perfect spell for the perfect plan. The spell she heard Harry, Hermione, and Ron talking about in her first year here. Akane, you will be sorry you ever tried to take my Ranma.
