Matt, Mike and Darrel stood in line with the rest of the new first years as the sorting began to take place. Professor McGonagall was in charge of this and was calling off students up to a stool where a hat was placed on their heads and it would call out the house they would be in. They were in front of the whole school and all of them were nervous. So far these students were sorted:
Adams, Daniel- Ravenclaw Baddock, Melony- Slytherin Baxter, Phillip- Ravenclaw Boot, Adam- Ravenclaw Brown, Amber- Ravenclaw Cloud, Eve- Hufflepuff Coens, Anna- Gryffindor Combs, Alden- Hufflepuff.
Mike gave Matt an unsure look. "All those kids so far and only one Gryffindor?" he whispered as a big, dumb boy name Crabbe, Carlos was sorted into Slytherin and Daniels, Aaron was called up. Matt shrugged as the boy was sorted into Hufflepuff and the boy after him, Dante, Jordan, was sorted into Gryffindor. After another Hufflepuff (Davon, Bryan) McGonagall called a girl up.
"Delacour, Tiffany!" called McGonagall. All the boys' jaws dropped and whispering could be heard around the older students. Timothy Longbottom came up to Matt's side and tugged eagerly at the end of the red head's sleeve.
"She's part veela you guys. I already asked her earlier." The twins blinked and Darrel looked at them with a raised eyebrow.
"So she's what they call a veela? She isn't TOO entrancing. My brother claimed to have gone out with one before." He crossed his arms. "She looks like she could be a Ravenclaw though." After he said this, the girl was sorted into Ravenclaw and they boys there seemed to be very pleased with the hat's decision.
"No fair. I wanted the veela girl to be in Gryffindor." muttered Mike. An annoyed sigh sounded behind them and the boys turned to a light skinned black girl with long hair pulled back into a low ponytail. The boys raised an eyebrow at her.
"You got a problem?" asked Matt and she raised an eyebrow at him.
"Not if you don't." She answered smartly and both she and Matt glared at each other. Mike pulled at the sleeve of his twin's robe.
"Cut it out, Matt. You're going to ruin our chances of making it into Gryffindor." He hissed. Tim smiled and turned to the girl.
"You find out what house you wanted to be in yet, Brianna?" he asked. She shrugged, but smiled.
"Maybe Gryffindor. Just so I can be around your adorable friend and his twin there." She teased. Matt rounded on her, his face very red and a scowl on his face. At the same time, they pulled down on an eyelid and stuck their tongues out at each other (like in anime for all you that watch it!). They hadn't noticed how much of the sorting they had missed (including Darrel's sorting into Gryffindor along with Timothy) until McGonagall called the next student.
"Peterson, Brianna!" she called. Brianna shoved past Matt and ran up to the stool. She bounced up into it and had the hat put on her head. In only 30 seconds she was proclaimed a Gryffindor. Matt scowled.
"I don't think I want to be a Gryffindor anymore."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Jessica!" she looked up from her book as he little brother entered the room. He dropped onto the edge of her bed and tilted his head to the side. "So, what cha doin'?" he asked casually. Jessica rolled her eyes at the ten-year old boy sitting in front of her.
"Thinking of ways to kill Chris." She answered and closed her book, which happened to be a book on dating. She sat up and faced her brother. "What are you up to, twerp?" She asked, her eyes now focused on his hair, which was out in a puffy afro.
"I was hoping you weren't too busy to do you kid brother's hair before I go with Kevin, Angela, the Potter twins and Jenny to play Quiddich." He answered. Jessica raised an eyebrow at the boy.
"Only six of you are playing?" she asked and the boy scratched his head.
"Yup, basically." He piped. "I think the Longbottom's kid is comin'. You know Ted, right?" Jessica nodded.
"Well sit down and let me get started if you want to get out there on time." She said. She tossed her wand to the side and began parting her brother's hair with the comb he brought her. She had actually found that doing hair without magic was a lot more fun. unless you were in a rush.
"So, why aren't you out with Chris and John? It's not time for you to help mom with dinner for a few more hours." Jessica sighed.
"We had a little disagreement is all." She answered. Darnel laughed, causing his sister to give him a look. "What's so funny, twerp?" she asked. he just shrugged.
"Nothing, its just that when ever you say WE had a disagreement, it usually means just you and Chris and that poor John was caught somewhere in the middle." Jessica tugged at his hair, causing him to look up at her with a scowl.
"Think you're pretty clever don't you?" she asked, grabbing her wand to finish his hair up faster.
"I don't think I am, I know I am. And besides, you and Chris have been friends for e ver from what I heard. I don't see why you don't just hook up and get it over with."
"Get out." Muttered Jessica. Darnel rolled his eyes and walked out the room. Jessica sighed and followed him out, planning out, planning to make herself a sandwich.
"Mum, I'm outta here!" called Darnel from the fireplace. He grabbed his broom and some floo powder. "See ya sis!' he called and was gone. Jessica waved and entered the kitchen. Unfortunately for her, John and Chris were there eating some snacks her mom had taken out. Chris was pigging out much like he always did and John was looking at him in embarrassment.
"What are you two doing here?" she asked finally. The boys turned their attention from the cookies and looked at her in shock, finally noticing she was there.
"You mum went out to the store. she said we should wait here for you to come down." Informed Chris, his eyes focused on the cookies once again, but not the same way as when he was shoveling them into his mouth. He was focusing on them so he wouldn't have to make eye contact with her.
"So, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"Chris has something he wants to tell you." Answered John casually.

"Weasley, Matthew!" called McGonagall. Mike shoved Matt forward, causing the red head to stumble a few steps before rushing up to the stool. When he hopped into the seat, he could hear some of the teachers whispering about there being Weasley twins in the school. He turned his head a little and spotted a teacher with a long nose and greasy hair looking at him. He didn't seem too happy about his and Mike's arrival.
"My, my, he looks a lot like Ronald Weasley, doesn't he?" said one teacher. "The two of them." Suddenly, the hat was placed on his head and fell over his eyes.
"Ah yes, another Weasley. We had three of you last year. You just keep on coming I see." Matt blinked and turned his head a little.
"Wicked, you can talk! Wait 'til Mike tries you on!" The hat chuckled.
"All you Weasley's are never, meant to be in either Slytherin or Hufflepuff. Always Gryffindor or Ravenclaw."
"Oh, you must mean Alex. She would have made a good Ravenclaw I guess. But I'd rather be a Gryffindor."
"You seem to be a true Gryffindor!" The hat was pulled of his head and he slipped off the stool. He turned to McGonagall.
"We were kinda having a conversation. Where do I go?" he asked. The old witch turned to the old headmaster, Dumbledore, who chuckled. She turned to Matt with a sort of smile.
"You're a Gryffindor Mr. Weasley." She answered. Matt grinned the famous Weasley grin.
"That's what I thought." He said and ran off to join his cousins and older brother.
"Weasley, Michael!" called McGonagall. Mike came and bounced into the seat. It took him a little longer than it did Matt, but he was proclaimed a Gryffindor. Tim grinned at the twins as they slapped each other high fives.
"So, what do you guys think. This place is pretty cool, huh?" he asked. Mike nodded.
"Yeah, but it'll be better when Matt and I spread a little of the old fashion Weasley magic!"
