CHPT. 2
"This is amazing!" murmured Delia. Harry, who was walking beside her, answered "It is isn't it?" Delia turned and looked at Harry and saw that he was blushing. Wonder what that means, thought Delia. "At my old school they would have never done something like this on the first day of school. Would never even have thought of it."
The Great Hall was indeed magnificent. There were floating candles levitating all over the place, 5 big tables and the roof looked like the outside of the castle t at least it isn't raining inside like it outside, thought Delia. At four tables were students, and at each table were different colors to go with the corresponding house. Delia vaguely remembered the colors of the different houses and the characteristics of the people who went to the houses. Se diffidently remembered that she didn't want to end up in slytherin. She also remembered that she either wanted to be in Ravenclaw or in Gryffindor, she just couldn't decide. Delia looked around and spotted Draco sporting a rather nasty black eye. Delia smiled with satisfaction. She saw Harry, Hermione, and Ron leaving and asked in a slightly panicked voice, "Where are u guys goin'?" "We have to sit at our tables" said Hermione as if it were obvious "Oh yeah" she laughed slightly "I'm just kinda nervous. That's all." "Don't worry." Said Ron. "You'll be fine. Its not like its going to eat you"
An older woman, probably in her 70's, came up to them and asked "Are you Delia Sheik?" Delia nodded. " you may sit anywhere u wait until all of the first years are done. Then you will walk to the stool over there and sit on it and put the hat on. Understood?" Delia nodded again "Yes I understand" "I'm Professor McGonagall, Gryffindor Head of House" With that she walked away. "Good, now you can sit with us" said Hermione. They headed towards the Gryffindor table and Delia sat between the guys. "Did you play quiditch at you're old school?" asked Ron. "Yes, actually. I was." The doors burst open and Professor McGonagall entered and a bunch of first years followed behind her. The student stopped in front of the stool while Professor McGonaggal kept going until she was in front of the staff table. She conjured a three-legged stool and a battered old hat. She placed the hot onto the stool, the hat immediately burst into song. (N/A I believe we all know what the song is about.) After it was done the Professor pulled out a scroll of parchment and said "When I call out you're name come and sit on this stool and I will place this hat on you're head, the hat will tell you what house you will be in for the rest of you're school years. Barret, Angelina!" and so the sorting began and ended with Yala, Nichole. Dumbledor stood and then there was absolute silence. "This year we have a new student from the United states who will be entering her 6th year. Her name is Delia Sheik and please make her feel at home." Every body looked as they saw a tall, slender, pretty girl with blue black hair rose from the Gryffindor table and headed towards the stool. When she got to the stool she sat on it and put the hat on. It took nearly a minute before the hat finally made its decision, and during that minute Delia was painfully aware of all the stares she was getting. Finally, the hat yelled out Gryfindor. Every body at all the tables (minus Slytherin of course) stood up and clapped, but Gryfindor clapped the hardest. Delia beamed at her friends and headed back down towards the tables.

A/N I know its pretty cliché but I'm not at my best. PLEASE REVIEW!
