Chapter 3 - Lilliputian Gets Sorted

Disclaimer: All the nouns that are j.k.'s are j.k.'s, and all the people places and things that are mine are mine(no ufcking duh)

A loud, deep voice boomed, "Firs' years this way."

Lily, James, Sirius, and Remus cautiously walked over to where the voice was, and looked up in amazement.

A man was standing there, about 13 feet tall at the least, and was holding a light, and had on a muggle nametag that had 'Hagrid' poorly written on it.

"Four ter' a boat." Hagrid called, "They steer themselves."

Lily, James, Sirius and Remus piled into one, and cracked up when a short, kindof fat blonde haired boy tried to step into a boat, and fell into the lake. There was some thrashing, and he was thrown over the side of his boat by a long, thick tentacle that quickly returned to the water.

"Woah," Lily said, "What was that?"

Hagrid's voice boomed from the boat next to him, that was easily four times bigger than their boat, "The giant squid. He'll be nice ter' ya if you feed him cockroach clusters."

Lily must've been looking confused cause Hagrid explained, "You can buy them when you get to go to Hogsmead."

"Oh." She said, but she was still looking confused.

^_^

They stepped inside the castle, the short, fat boy was given a dry robe, and a tight lipped 40 some year old teacher, Professor McGonagall, ushered them inside the great hall.

An old man with a long white beard sat at the front of the room, Lily guessed that this Dumbledore. He stood up, clapped his hands together, and started to talk.

"Welcome, first years. When you are called up, please put on the hat, and wait to be sorted. After everyone is sorted, we will eat."

Sirius looked around for the food, but there were only golden plates and goblets on the tables.

Lily stifled a snicker, and waited for her name to be called.

"Black, Sirius." Professor McGonagall called.

He stepped up to the stool, and even before the hat touched his head, It shouted, "Gryffindor."

"Evans, Lily."

Lily skipped up to the stool, put on the hat, and waited.

She could hear it muttering. "You have great power dear, if I put you in Slytherin, that power will be brought out."

'Please not Slytherin,' Lily thought, 'I want to be with James and Sirius and Remus.'

The hat chuckled, and said, "Devotion, very good, but watch out, what you think won't, will turn on you."

Lily was contemplating that, but then the hat shouted, "Gryffindor!"

She breathed a sigh of relief, and went to sit with Sirius.

"Kahan, Raven."

A girl, about an inch taller than Lily, with long black hair stepped up to the hat. The girl looked nervous because the hat was taking so long, but after about a minute or so, It shouted, "Gryffindor."

Raven sat down next to Lily, her black hair covering about half of her face, making her look depressed.

Lily introduced herself, and Raven looked up, looking a little happier, and Lily laughed when Raven looked at Remus in awe.

Raven smacked Lily, and said playfully, "I don't like him, its something else."

^_^

Remus started to walk to up to the hat, and his heart jolted from an unknown force. He looked around, and saw a black haired girl sitting next to Lily, her eyes staring into him. He didn't know why, but it made him feel warm. He shook off the feeling, and went up to the hat.

"You are a dark creature," the hat remarked. "But you yourself are not dark."

"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted, but before Remus took off the hat, it whispered,

"Watch the Raven fly."

^_^

James got called up.

Lily watched as he put on the hat, and was looking nervous. His sorting took over two minutes, and with each one, James gripped the edge of the stool more nervously. Finally the hat shouted,

"Gryffindor!"

And James sat down with a relieved sigh.

Lily clapped with the rest of Gryffindor, and cat called, causing the other house tables to look at her.

She and James high-fived and he sat down next to her.

After Venner, Taylor was sorted into Gryffindor, Dumbledore stood up and clapped his hands together(Lily wondered what all the clapping was about) and said,

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

And suddenly mountains of food appeared on the tables. Sirius dug into it hungrily, looking like his birthday had come early. Lily laughed and helped herself to some pasta salad and chicken.

When everyone was finished eating, a prefect led them to the Gryffindor common room, told them the password (green fish), and explained that the girls dormitories were to the left, and the boys were to the right. Lily went up to her room with Raven and started to unpack, when three girls entered the room. The one in the middle was saying,

"Oh my god, did you see that horrendous girl who yelled for that guy?"

"Oh my god I know," One of the other ones said, "I feel sorry for him, coz he is so hot."

All three of the girls then started giggling like mad. Lily made a gagging face, which Raven tried not to laugh at, and muttered something that James had taught her, and a thick, black, hairy spider crawled up the neck of the one that had called lily horrendous.

She started screaming, and shrieking for someone to 'get the little bastard spider off of me and kill that bitch who set it on me!'

James, Sirius, and Remus ran in out of breath, and James said,

"Lilz, whats wrong?"

When the girl saw James, her screams immediately stopped, and she smiled.

Someone has PMS, Lily thought to herself, inwardly grinning.

She took James' hand and shook it, smiling wider.

"I'm Courtney."

James grinned, and said,

"Hi I'm James," James said, "and you had no right to call Lily a bitch."

Courtney's smile dropped a little, but she was still smiling.

"Yeah, whatever. Lets get together sometime."

James looked at her in disgust, but that didn't stop her from kissing his cheek and giving him a hug before he left.

"Bitch, slut, asshole." Lily muttered under her breath.

"I know," Raven muttered back, "But I bet that she's worse."

Lily nodded. "Hell Yeah."

They started setting up their beds, Lily posted pictures of different punk rock groups and of a soccer team( The Washington Freedom) while Courtney looked on in disgust.

"Eew, who is that?" She said pointing to a picture of Mia Hamm.

Lily rolled her eyes.

"Mia Hamm smart one. Women's soccer?" Lily said, sounding like it was totally obvious.

"Who's that?" Lily said, pointing to a picture of Justin Timberlake. "Isn't he that guy at the mentally retarded hospital?"

Courtney smiled sarcastically.

"Its Justin Timberlake, smart one, and if he's mentally retarded, then you're wwwaaaaaaaaaaayy worse."

Lily pretended to cry.

"That hurt." She said. "Right here." And put a hand over her heart.

Raven grinned and gave her a hi-five.

They finished unpacking, got ready for bed, and went to sleep, having no clue of what the next day would bring.
