LILY AND JAMES

CHAPTER 4: THE SORTING

The new first years filed into the Great Hall for the Sorting and The Feast. A lady who introduced herself as Professor McGonagall – who looked about 20 or so – placed a hat on a stool in front of them and began to unroll a scroll. As she was doing so the hat began to sing which came as a shock to most of the first years.

"When I call your name out you will come forward and place the hat on your head" Professor McGonagall said once the hat had finished singing.

"Ashmoore, Michelle" Michelle walked up to the hat sat down on the stool and placed the hat on her head.

"RAVENCLAW" the hat screamed and one of the long tables burst into applause as Michelle walked towards it and sat down.

A few more people later McGonagall said "Black, Sirius" who went bouncing up to the hat and crammed it on his head which instantly screamed "GRYFFINDOR".

"Davison, Katy"

"GRYFFINDOR"

"Evans, (Lily gulped) Karrin"

"Karrin?" Lily and Hollie both whispered.

"Friend of yours?" Remus asked Lily.

"She's my cousin!" Lily said.

"GRYFFINDOR" the hat screamed and Karrin walked over to the Gryffindor table.

"Evans, Lily"

"Good Luck Lils" Hollie whispered.

"You to" Lily whispered back.

"GRYFFINDOR" the hat screamed a few seconds after Lily had put the hat on. Lily practically ran to the Gryffindor table.

"Hey Karrin, Hey Sirius" Lily said as she slid into a seat between Karrin and Sirius.

"Congrats girl" Karrin said as she gave Lily a hug "Long time, no see!"

"Yeah just about 24 hours when you were over yesterday!" Lily grinned.

"You two family or something?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah we're cousins" Lily said.

"Then how come we have never meet? I've known Karrin for god knows how many years" Sirius asked as Arabella Figg became a new Gryffindor.

Just then "Lupin, Remus" was called which made their heads turn towards the sorting as they hadn't been paying much attention.

"GRYFFINDOR" They were amongst those who cheered the loudest.

"Mathews, Hollie"

"GRYFFINDOR" "Go Hollie" Lily and Karrin Screamed.

"Congrats Hol" Karrin said as she high fived Hollie.

"Thanks. I didn't know you were a witch" Hollie said to Karrin as she sat down.

"All my life" Karrin said as "Pettigrew, Peter" became a new "Gryffindor".

"Potter, James" McGonagall called.

"Please not Gryffindor. Please not Gryffindor" Lily muttered.

"GRYFFINDOR" Lily groaned.

"Don't worry Lils! Just means you have more access to do tricks on him" Hollie whispered.

"Hey did you guys realize that we are all here" Karrin said.

"Huh?" Sirius said who was listening in on their conversation but the girls just ignored him.

"You're right" Lily said.

"Midnight Raiders for ever" They chorused.

"Oooooooo lookies food" Karrin said and started to dig in.

"I feel soooooooooo sorry for you Lils" Karrin said half way through the meal.

"Whys that?" Lily asked looking up from her desert.

"Well there are sooooooo many cute guys here and you can't date any of them" Karrin said.

"Yeah. Its sooooooo not far" Lily pouted.

"Awww poor Lils" Hollie snickered.

"You would be upset to if you had to marry someone you didn't know either" Lily snapped "I get to find out who in seventh year! Not long to wait now."

"Yeah just about seven years" Karrin snickered.

"Can we stop talking about my life! I know it's sad but it's not up for common gossip" Lily growled as the food disappeared off the table and a man and the Head table stood up.

"For those of you who don't know me I am Professor Dumbledore" he started "I am the new headmaster at this school as Professor Dippet has retired. Now Mr Filch has asked me to remind you that there is to be NO magic in the hallways at any time and the intire list of banned objects is available for all to see in his office. I would also like to remind you that the forbidden Forest is like its name states forbidden (he sent a meaningful glance at the Gryffindor table). Now off to bed with you. All first years please follow your prefects to your common room."

The Gryffindor first years followed two sixth year prefect whose names were Molly Lewis and Arthur Weasly to the Gryffindor Common Room. After walking for a bit they stopped in front of a portrait of a Lady in a pink dress Molly explained that this particular portrait was the entrance to their common room and if they wanted to get in they had to say the password which was 'Fairies'. They walked into a room decorated in Scarlet and Gold.

"This is the common room. You will spend most of you're free time here! Up those stairs are the girls dorms and those stairs are the boys dorms" Arthur Weasly said "Now off to bed!"

When Lily, Hollie and Karrin arrived in the first year's girl's dorms there were two other girls up there. One had long brownish/reddish hair and hazel eyes and the other had hair with nearly every shade of red/orange imaginable and her eyes were a deep dark grey with a golden/orange color highlighting the outside of the pupil and a dark grey rim surrounding the eye.

"HI I'm Katy Davison" the girl with the red hair said "and this is my friend Arabella Figg" she said pointing to the girl with the brown hair.

"Hi and call me Bella" Arabella said brightly.

"Hi I'm Hollie Mathews and these are my friends Lily Evans and Karrin Evans" Hollie said.

"Hi" Lily and Karrin chorused.

"Are you two sisters or something?" Arabella asked.

"Cousins" Karrin said.

"Well we had better get to bed we have classes in the morning. Night gals" Lily said walking over to the bed that had her trunk at the end of it.

"Now why didn't I think of that" Karrin said "Night all."
