Chapter 9: The Sorting

As they got off the train, Hagrid grinned waving to her and some other boy about five feet to her left. "THIS WAY FIRST YEARS!" he called.

A huge swarm walked towards where he stood. "No more n' four to a boat!" he hollared, Hannah and Addie filed into a boat with two boys named Justin Finch-Fletchey

and Ernie Mcmillian.

'Ooos' and 'Ahhs' rang out when the castle slid into view, as they rounded the bend. A scream rang out, "Whats that?!" Ernie asked, hearing the scream and pointing to a huge tentacle splashing in the water.

"Oh.. that's the giant squid.." Justin said.

They followed Hagrid up to the school as he banged on the door. A lady with a tight black bun in green robes walked out, "Ah yes Hagrid, I'll take them from here! Follow me Please!" she said leading them up the stairs to a room. "The sorting will begin shortly I'll be right back!" she called, and left shutting the door. A red haired boy up front told a black haired boy, he had heard that they had to fight a troll to get in. A blonde boy stepped infront of the black haired boy as the crowd silenced. "So its true.. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts.." The boy said, "I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" he said, The red head coughed a laugh. "Think my names funny do you? Need I ask yours red hair and hand-me down robes.. you must be A weasley" he said, the red head looked ashamed. "You'll learn Potter that some are right wizards.. some are wrong, you want to avoid the wrong I can help you with that" the blonde said sticking his hand out. The black haired boy didnt take it, "I think I can determine the wrong type for myself thanks" the black haired boy said, as Mcgonagall walked in. "Follow me Please" she said as people filled through the great hall doors behind her. Everyone staring up at the ceiling as they walked, "Its not really the night sky.. its bewitched.. I read it in Hogwarts : A History" a brown puffy haired girl said.

"Welcome to the sorting.. when I call your name Please come forward so I can set the Hat on your head" Mcgonagall said, then glanced down at her list.

"Luna Lovegood.." she called, "Ravenclaw!" the hat yelled as Mcgonagall set it down on the nervous blondes head.

"Harry Potter.." Mcgonagall called after about 18 other names, A black haired boy Addie recognized from earlier stepped forward as the hall silenced, and after about five minutes the hat yelled Gryffindor, the Gryffindor table cheered as everyone clapped loudly.

"Hannah Abbott.." Mcgonagall said, Hannah walked forward as Addie grinned. "HUFFLEPUFF!" the hat hollared, Hannah walked up to the Hufflepuff table as they cheered.

"Adella Rayes.." Mcgonagall said, the hall silenced somewhat again, Addie sat down the hat on her head. "Ah yes.. Damien Rayes daughter.. your famous did you know?" the hat asked inside her head, "No.." Adella thought, "Ah.. your nice, accepting and brave... got to be Gryffindor!" the hat yelled the last part out loud.

The gryffindor table clapped, as Adella stepped toward it sitting down beside a boy named Dean Thomas. She waved slightly to Hannah.
