Very Short.

I own nothing except my characters and the sorting song, wich I am very proud of, even if you think it isn't very good. Oh yea and if you do like it and want to use it for your story, feel free to as long as you ask/inform me first. Thank you.



Charter 2: Sorting

Maddie, Jilly, Matt, Shawn, Caitlyn, Cassidy, Ashley, Lanie, Hallie, Tamara, Eric, Brandon, Tyler, Justin, Jordan, and Jason, all stepped off the train together, but the first years soon left the rest of them to join Hagrid as he called out his annual greeting of "Firs' years this way!".

After all the first years had gathered in a group around Hagrid, they walked slowly over to the large lake.

"Now, just step in the boats, Hagrid told them.

Maddie, Jilly, Hallie and Tamara all got in the same boat, while Matt, Shawn, Caitlyn, and Cassidy all filed into another.

As soon as all the newcmers were settled the boats began to drift towards the opposite shore.



When they reached the castle they were filed into a large enterance hall were they were met by a gray haired woman which some of then recognized as professor McGonagall.

"Now children, in a matter of moments you will enter the Great Hal where you will be sorted into one of the houses, of which are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin." The Professor said, before exiting the room.

Presently the great doors creaked open to reaveal the Great Hall in all its spendor, the magiced ceiling mmirroring the beautiful night sky, the long house tables filled with students and before the teachers table on a small stool...

Was the Sorting Hat.

A/N: Ominous Capital Lettering. HeHe.

As the first years settled into a wide eyes staring group, the Hat opened it's wide mouth-thingy nd began to sing.

Long ago there were two wizards,

And two witches they did meet.

And they started this great school,

Which was not a little feat.

Each made thier own house,

And chose students carefully,

But to choose for them when they were gone,

They picked ittle old me.

So here I am,

And here I'll stay.

But before we go,

I still have to say...

Ravenclaws are clever,

They'll pass any test.

While those who are brave of heart,

Fit in Gryffindor the best.

Some think Hufflepuffs aren't worthy of thrust,

But their loyalty they'll defend.

And those ambitious Slytherins,

Use any means to get thier end.

But now we've reached,

The conclusion of this song.

So hurry up and slip me on,

And I'll find out here you belong!



There was much cheering in response to the Sorting Hat's song and Professor McGonagall stepped up beside the Hat, carrying what looked like a list.

"Hush," She said, "Now, when I call your name I would like you to come up, sit on the stool and place the Hat on your head. When the Hat tells what house you are in, please ho and join the table of your new house. Good. Now, first, Acelera, Callie!"

Callie Acelera walked slowly up to the stool, picked the Hat up and stuck it on her head.

"RAVENCLAW!" The Hat shouted, and the Ravenclaw table applauded, as Callie went an sat down, smiling.

"Ammish, Bernie!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Atler, Morgan!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Avery, Shane!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

Barry, Melinda!"

"SLYTHERIN!"

And so it went, untill finally,

"Jordan, Shawn!"

Shawn walked up to the Hat and sat down, a multitude of thoughts running through his head.

"Hmmmm." The voice seemd to be in his head, but he knew it was real. "Where to put you... Ah I think I know where you'd go best, how about..."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Shawn sighed and walked to the Gryffindor table amid cheers as "Lertney, Tabitha! was sorted into Slytherin."

The sorting continued, and after awhile,

"Malfoy, Hallie!"

Hallie strode confidentially up to the stool, already sure of what the Hat was going to say.

"A Malfoy. But half Weasley. You brave, but there's something else... Better be..."

"SLYTHERIN!"

Hallie grinned widely as she strode over to the Slytherin table and sat down.

A little while later, the first of the Weasleys was called.

"Weasley,Caitlyn!"

Ron and Hermione's on;y daughter walked up to the stool and placed the Hat on her head.

"Well, well, well," the voice said. "Another Weasley. I think...I think, you hade better go in..."

"SLYTHERIN!"

Caitlyn slowly sttod up and took the Hat off her head, a look of shock on her face.

'Slytherin', she thought to herself. 'I...I got put in...Slytherin.'

Although Hallie gave her a hug the expression of shock stayed on her face.

"Weasley, Jillian!"

Jilly walked up to the stool,praying.

Once she put the Hat on her head, she too heard the little voice.

"Another one? How many of you are there? Oh well I guess you're going in..."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Jillian almost laughed with relief as she settled down at the Gryffindor table.

"Weasley, Madeline!"

'Calm down' Maddie told herself as she walked up to the stool.

She slowly lowered the Hat on to her head and listened intently to the mutterings of the Hat.

"Another Weasley. And another one for..."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

'I can't beleive it was that easly...' Maddie thought to herself as Jilly hugged her.

"Weasley-Delacour, Cassidy"

Cassie shyly tiptoed up to the Hat and put it on.

"More Weasleys...Well I think you'd to very well in..."

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

Cassie smiled a little at the other Hufflepuffs as she sat down't the table.

"Wood, Matthew!"

Matt stepped up to the Hat and put it on his head.

"Ahh I Wood. I Remember your father, mother too, for that matter. Oh well, i guess you're going in..."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Matt grinned as he sat down at the Gryffindor table.

After "Zentire, Manny!" was sorted into Ravenclaw, food began to appear on the golden dishes already set out.

Later once the Hogwarts Theme had been sung, and Dumbledore and other teacher had made their announcements, the houses fetreated to their tower-thingies for a little bit of rest, for tmorrow was going to be a big day.
