Seven o' clock came early the next day. Everyone was groggy and Casey
looked like she hadn't slept all night. It was a very sad departing, with
Casey and Kelsey in tears, hugging and all, and then Kelsey not speaking to
Dana.
They all boarded the plane, all without a word. The mood lightened up a bit however, during the 11-hour flight back. They would have used a portkey to get back much faster but they didn't want to rush the girls into the wizarding thing too quickly.
Throughout the flight it was pretty much Hermione, Draco, Angela, Ron and Vanessa playing ERS while Harry and Kelsey watched the movie. It was a typical plot and soon they became tired and joined in on the card playing.
11 hours went by fast and soon they were in London. The girls had never been to London and wanted to sight see but Dumbledore said there was no time for it. They soon got on a train that took them to Hogwarts, The Hogwarts Express to be more exact. It was empty all except for the 6 boys and girls and Dumbledore. All 6 got into one compartment, alone, finally, without an adult.
"Girls, Hogwarts is the best school ever. You will have no problem fitting in." Harry said aloud. "Well, you would be surprised how well we might fit in." Angela said under her breath. "What was that?" Draco asked. Angela looked up at her two friends and Kelsey spoke. "We might as well tell them right, it is probably normal in the 'wizarding world'."
"Observe." Kelsey said and pointed to a penny that was lying on the floor. She stared at the penny and it began to rise. It floated over to her and landed perfectly in her hand.
"I'm- uh, I'm confused." Ron said dumbfounded.
"We each have a power." Vanessa explained. "Kelsey has the ability to move things with her mind." "So what's your power then Vanessa?" Ron asked curiously. "Well, I cant on command or anything, but I'm sort of physic and can see things that are going to happen." "And you Angela?" "Well, like Vanessa I cant on command, but sometimes I can hear peoples thoughts, but I would never use it as a spying devise." Angela said quickly.
Harry looked deeply confused. "How did you all get these powers?" "Well I am not sure really, it almost was sudden when we first met, I dunno, it was the thing that brought us together, and we have been friends ever since." Kelsey said. "Well I will sure tell you this, that is definitely not 'normal' in the wizarding world. You all have a special gift and maybe that's why you three are so important." Ron said.
"Important? What does that mean?" Vanessa inquired. Before anyone else could say anything, the train was jolted to a stop.
They all piled out and the next ride was in a carriage. It was sort of pleasant, with the girls enjoying the view. It ended fast and they were whisked off to Dumbledore's office. There they were to wait until dinner, when they were to be sorted. This meant at least 2 hours of doing nothing.
"So what does 'sorting' mean?" Angela asked Draco. "Well at Hogwarts you must be sorted into a house. There are four houses: Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Gryffindor. And you get sorted by the Sorting Hat. You put it on your head and it tells you what house you are to be in." Draco explained. The girls looked confused. "Ugh, umm, here!" Draco raced to the shelves and pulled down the infamous Sorting Hat. "You put it on your head like so and- -"
"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted. "What?" "Huh?" was the two things that came out of Harry and Ron's mouths. Draco looked equally puzzled.
Without a moments pause, Dumbledore walked into his office. "So I see Mr. Malfoy, that you have been changed. The hat does that from time to time. So you need to get your belongings together and head up to the Gryffindor tower room. Ron will escort you there, and I will have some house elves to help. Girls," He said turning to them, "It is time for you to be sorted. I have already told the school your predicament so without any further delay if you will follow me."
He started to walk out, and remembering, grabbed the Sorting Hat. All the girls STILL looking confused, followed him, with Harry trailing at the back.

They walked into the Great Hall and there Kelsey realized why it was called the Great Hall. All eyes were on them, and most were trying to catch Harry's attention to ask the real story. The girls came to the front and Dumbledore called out, "Angela Rollins!"
She came forward and sat on the stool. Anticipation was in the air as the hat rested on her head. Whatever it says, Angela thought, will decide my entire future. The hat sat on her head, contemplating for several minutes. All of a sudden it say aloud, "Yes, well its going to be--"
