Many students crowded into the Great Hall. They then took seats
with their appropriate tables. Skye, Margeaux, Sacrateise and
the first years were in the hall leading to the Great Hall. Professor
McGonagall then emerged.
"Alright students, you will be led into the Great Hall to be sorted.
I expect you all to be on your best behavior. There are four houses,
Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Any rule-breaking,
you will lose points and any good work you will earn points for your
house" she said sternly.
The students then walked into the Great Hall but Margeaux,
Skye and Sacrateise stayed behind to see Professor McGongall.
"Excuze moi professor, my name is Margeaux Aiken, I am in 6th year, as
well as moi friends. May you help us?" She gestured to the other two
behind her.
"Yes, who are you two?" she asked in a strict manner to Skye and
Sacrateise.
"Skye Halliwell" said Skye.
"Sacrateise Black" replied Sacrateise.
"Oh my god, Sirius's child..." McGongall whispered.
"Yes madam, I've just transferred from America."
"Right away then, I'll notice Professor Dumbledore of your arrival."
They then walked into the Great Hall, and Professor McGongall
notified Dumbledore of the three that would be entering Hogwarts. She
then placed a hat on the stool.
In times of old when I was new
And Hogwarts barely started
The founders of our noble school
Thought never to be parted:
United by a common goal,
They had the selfsame yearning,
To make the worlds best magic school
And pass along their learning.
"together we will build and teach!"
The four good friends decided
And never did they dream that they
Might someday be divided,
For were there such friends anywhere
As Slytherin and Gryffindor?
Unless it was the second pair
Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?
So how could it have gone so wrong?
How could such friendships fail?
Why, I was there and so can tell
The whole sorry tale.
Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those
Whose ancestry is purest."
Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose
Intelligence is surest."
Said Gryffindor, "We?ll teach all those
With brave deeds to their name,"
Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot,
And treat them just the same."
These differences caused a little strife
When first they came to light,
For each of the four founders had
A house in which they might
Take those only those they wanted, so,
For instance, Slytherin
Took only pure-blood wizards
Of great cunning, just like him,
And only those of sharpest mind
Were taught by Ravenclaw
While the bravest and boldest
Went to daring Gryffindor.
Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest,
And taught them all she knew,
Thus the Houses and their founders
Retained friendship firm and true.
So Hogwarts worked in harmony
For several happy years,
But then discord crept among us
Feeding on our faults and fears.
The Houses that, like pillars four,
Had once held up our school,
Now turned upon each other and,
Divided, sought to rule.
And for a while it seemed the school
Must meet an early end,
What with dueling and with fighting
And the clash of friend on friend
And at last there came a mourning
When old Slytherin departed
And though the fighting then died our
He left us quite downhearted.
And never since the founders four
Were whittled down to three
Have the houses been united
As they once were meant to be.
And now the Sorting Hat is here
And you all know the score:
I sort you into Houses
Because that is what I'm for,
But this year I?ll go further,
Listen closely to my song:
Though condemned I am to split you
Still I worry that it?s wrong,
Though I must fulfill my duty
And must quarter every year
Still I wonder whether sorting
May not bring the end I fear.
Oh, know the perils, read the signs,
The warning history shows,
For our Hogwarts is in danger
From external, deadly foes
And we must unite inside her
Or we?ll crumble from within
I have told you so, I have warned you?.
Let the Sorting now begin.
The Great Hall busted into applause. Then they quieted down for the
Sorting to begin.
"When I call your name please come up to the stool to be sorted."
Professor McGongall addressed.
Allen, Jacob
Slytherin!
Grey, Amanda
Hufflepuff!
The sorting came to an end when Dumbledore addressed to the
students:
"Fellow students, it is my pleasure that we have two new students
entering the sixth year, and one entering seventh year. Please welcome
Margeaux Aiken, Sacrateise Black and Skye Halliwell"
"hmm... you have great courage nonetheless, you are
loyal to your father and everyone else around you, you are also cunning
and mischievous, and you are very intelligent, but where to put you?"
the hat whispered into Margeaux's mind.
Margeaux didn't even have to say it out loud for the hat to
know where she thought best for her to be placed. Into her ear, it told
her that she made a good choice, then for the whole Great Hall, it
shouted "RAVENCLAW!".
The hat didn't even have to think for long before it placed both Skye
and Sacrateise in Slytherin.
The hall burst into cheers for the new students, then Professor
Dumbledore spoke.
"I have two words for you all, Dig In."
The plates magically were filled with food. All of the students
were hungry from their journey and ate like pigs. Professor Snape was
wondering one thing, why was his daughter put into Ravenclaw? He was in
Slytherin and her mother was in Gryffindor, but why Ravenclaw?
He was still pondering on that until the feast was over. He
walked over to Margeaux and told her that he wished to talk to her. He
finished talking to her moments later and escorted her to Ravenclaw
tower.
"Alright now, the password is Flibbergibbit" Snape told her. "Goodnight
Margeaux." He gave her a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder and went
back to the dungeons. Margeaux walked into the tower and went to bed.
She thought about the long day, and she soon fell asleep.
The next morning, she woke up at 5:30 A.M. and walked to the
Great Hall and whistled to her black owl with emerald eyes to come down
and see her.
"Here Nightdancer, I want you to take this to Quality Qudditch supplies
and give it to the manager. Don't come back until you have what I need,
ok? Margeaux said.
Nightdancer have her a nip on the ear and left for flight.
However, Margeaux didn't know that she was not the only person in the
Great Hall...
