Chapter 4- the sorting
"Today" said Albus Dumbledore "is a momentous occasion. We all know that we are sorted into our houses in first year. However these two girls will be sorted even though they are in their 6th year!" he waited for the murmuring to stop and then he continued. "These girls have shown amazing talent and we think that they could easily keep up at a 6th year level." A jeering scoff emitted from the Gryffindor table from a certain Miss Granger, but was silenced by a meaningful glare from two boys. Dumbledore waited again for silence and continued. "So without any further ramblings of a tired old man, LET THE SORTING BEGIN!" McGonagall stepped up accompanied by the all-important, all famous sorting hat. "I shall call out your names one by one and you will come out here, sit on this stool and be sorted". The two extremely nervous girls came into vision. At first everyone was just silent and then the catcalls and jeers began to erupt from a table of very snake like people. Siobhan gave them the finger (like then non lesbian feminist that she is) but as it was a muggle symbol it was not understood by these simple people. "SHUTUP!" Emma bellowed like a wild rhinoceros. The whole hall quieted just long enough to hear her say very politely "Please" much to the amusement of the Gryffindors. McGonagall cleared her throat and said " McMahon, Siobhan" Siobhan stood timidly and sat on the stool. The sorting hat was being lowered and it seemed as if the whole school was holding its breath in anticipation. However they didn't hold it for very long as before the hat even touched her head it yelled at the top of its voice "GRYFFINDOR!" Screams and cheers were immediately bursting from the Gryffindor table. Siobhan flushed red and sighed in relief. She went down, shaking numerous hands as she went and positioned herself next to a very pleased Ron. Now it was Harry's turn to be worried. McGonagall yet again cleared her throat and began to say "Bloom E-" "Yeah, yeah I know" muttered Emma just loud enough for everyone to hear. She positioned herself on the stool looking much more confident than she felt. But she too had nothing to worry about, as before it even touched her head it yelled "GRYFFINDOR!" After much more cheering and hand shaking, a magnificent feast appeared and they ate until they were so full they felt as though they were burst. Between mouthfuls Siobhan managed to ask " Where's Mione?" "She left right after Siobhan was sorted. Said she felt sick or something" Siobhan and Emma exchanged dubious looks but kept their feelings to themselves and continued eating.

" What is wrong with Hermione?" Emma asked Siobhan as they were heading up the stairs. "I think she thinks that we're taking away her friends or some such" "And why shouldn't I!" Hermione jumped out from behind a wall which was very scarey for many reasons im sure I don't need to discuss. "You just waltz on up, expect everyone to love you! Harry and Ron don't even talk to me any more! Its all your fault!" Hermione burst out. "Jesus, calm down Mione. Listen, we never tried to take away Harry or Ron or anyone!" said Siobhan, quite pissed off. Hermione just glared at her and stalked off. "What was that all about?" asked a rather startled Emma. Siobhan shrugged and they continued on their walk to the girl's dorms.
* That night the two new girls stayed up late and having a bit of a girly night with Lav and Pav, while Hermione sat there just glaring at them the whole night looking rather like a constipated elephant on steroids trying to do a poo on a bed of sharp rocks.
