Author's Note: Sorry, I forgot to tell you that this is years after Harry
Potter graduated, so a few things changed a bit.
"All firs' years over here," a loud, gruffly voice called as the two stepped out of the train. They followed the voice to the edge of a lake. A 10-foot giant stood at the edge of the lake, calling out to the first years. He had a short, brown beard and long mane. "Wow, a giant," Starfire said as she stared at the giant. "Well hello there, my name's Rubeus Hagrid," the giant said.
"My name is Starfire and this is Raven," she said, nudging Raven on the side. Raven turned her attention to Hagrid. "Hello Hagrid," she mumbled, looking gloomy. "Hello Raven. There's no need to be looking dreary around this place, lots o' adventures lurking around every corner at Howarts," he said as he patted Raven on the back causing her to fall on her knees. He stood up straight, waiting for the first years.
Raven got up and started to brush the dirt off of her robes when a green skinned teenage boy with green hair and olive green eyes stood beside her and a teenage boy with spiky black hair wearing a black mask that covered his eyes stood beside Starfire. A human/robot hybrid stood behind Raven. "These boats will take us across the lake," Hagrid began as soon as all of the first years came, "Each boat only seats 3 people. There is only one thing that all of you should be aware of: the giant squid. He don' like these boats and therefore gets ferocious when he sees them. Now lets get in."
Raven spotted a boat where a gothic teenage girl with black hair and purple eyes wearing a white cloak and red lipstick was sitting, staring at the floor. Raven saw that the girl was lonely because nobody would get in with her. "Hey Starfire," Raven said, pointing at the girl, "Why don't we sit with that girl?" Starfire saw where Raven was pointing. "Okay," she replied joyfully as they strolled towards the girl. "Hi, my name is Starfire and this is Raven," Starfire said as they sat down. "My name's Carina and I don't like to talk much," Carina said, looking up. "Same here," Raven said. Carina smiled.
"What planet are you from?" Starfire asked, "I'm from a planet called Tamaran." "Earth, where else?" Carina replied with a giggle. A shadow of a giant squid swam towards their boat. A few seconds later, two wet, slimy tentacles came out of the water and grasped Carina and Starfire. A few more tentacles appeared at the sides of the boat and started to pull it down into the lake, along with Carina and Starfire.
"Too bad that I can't produce starbolts. Help!" Starfire shrieked as the tentacle tried to drag her down. Carina also cried for help. Raven was busy blasting the tentacles on the sides of the boat. Once she was done, she focused all of her energy on the other two tentacles that were grasping her friends. The tentacles glowed black and loosened its grip on the two girls.
The tentacles disappeared below the water as she levitated the two back onto the boat. "Thanks Raven," Carina said as Starfire embraced Raven in a tight hug. "Oh thank you Raven!" she said as she quickly let go of her. "You're both welcome," Raven replied as they neared the castle of Hogwarts. "So," Carina said, "Which house do you want to be in? There's Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. As for me, I want to be in Slytherin."
"Why Slytherin, why not Gryffindor?" Raven asked. "Because Gryffindor is the worst house to be placed in and Slytherin is the best," she replied. "Okay then, Slytherin," Raven said as she turned t o Starfire, "What about you?" "I pick Slytherin," Starfire answered as their boat hit a piece of land that Hogwarts stood upon. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They arrived at the front steps of Hogwarts five minutes later. A witch wearing an emerald green cloak, square shaped spectacles and had orange hair that was pulled tightly into a bun stood outside of two giant oak doors, waiting for the first years. "Welcome to Hogwarts," the sorceress said, "I'm Professor McGonagall, the headmistress of Hogwarts. Once you get in, you must take your seats at any table and then you will be sorted into your houses. The houses are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Wait here, the staff must get ready." She opened the large oak doors and disappeared into the great hall.
"Hey," a boy with blonde hair and silver eyes called to Raven. Raven turned around to face the boy. "You're the girl called Raven that I saw on the train. My name's Malfoy, Timothy Malfoy," the boy said. Carina slightly coughed, trying to hide a snicker. Timothy turned to her. "You think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask you yours. Black hair and a white cloak, you must be a part of the Lee family," he said, and then turned his gaze back to Raven. "Some wizarding families are better than others, Raven. Don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there," he said as he stuck his hand out.
"I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks," Raven replied, giving a half smile to her friends. Malfoy glared at her. "Don't worry about him," the green skinned teenage boy told Raven, "He likes to be mean, it's in his blood. By the way, my name's Gar Logan, but you can call me Beast Boy if you like." "My name's." Raven said, but Beast Boy cut her off. "Raven, right?" he said.
"Right," she replied, her heart skipping several beats. "And who are these girls?" he asked. "Oh, umm. that's Starfire," she said, pointing to the alien girl, "And that's Carina." Two other teenage boys appeared at Beast Boy's side. "Oh, I almost forgot. This is Robin," he said, pointing to the teenager with black spiky hair and a black mask, "And this is Cyborg."
"Hi Raven, Starfire, and Carina," Robin and Cyborg said at the same time. "How'd you know are names?" Carina asked. "We heard Raven," Cyborg answered, as Carina turned red at the reply. The oak doors swung open and Professor McGonagall stepped out. "We're ready for you," she said as she motioned for the first years to follow her. They all gasped as they strolled inside of the Great Hall. There were thousands of candles floating in mid air over four long tables. Each table had a little banner hanging over it. The banners resembled the four houses.
One was a picture of a lion, which resembled Gryffindor, another a badger, which resembled Hufflepuff, another a raven, resembling Ravenclaw, and one was a serpent, which resembled Slytherin. They all took their seats and stared at a black wizard's hat that was placed on a stool in the center of the Great Hall. A rip near the brim opened like a mouth. The hat started to sing.
"Oh you may not think I'm pretty, But don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find A better hat then me. You can keep your bowlers black, Your top hats sleek and tall, For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat, And I can cap them all. There's nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can't see, So put me on and I will tell Where you ought to be. You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart; You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid to toil; Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, If you've a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind; Or perhaps in Slytherin You'll make your real friends, Those cunning folk use any means To achieve their ends. So put me on! Don't be afraid! And don't get in a flap! You're in safe hands (though I have none) For I'm the Thinking Cap!"
The rip near the brim of the hat closed and everyone applauded. Winnebagg, sitting in the center of the teacher's table, stood up. "Let the Sorting ceremony begin!" he shouted. Professor McGonagall got up and strolled over to the Sorting Hat with a long roll of parchment in her hands. "Avery, Ariel!" she called and a red head girl strolled forward.
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat cried and there was an applause coming from the Gryffindor table. 5 minutes later, "Grayson, Dick!" and Robin walked over to the hat. "I thought that his name was Robin," Starfire whispered to Raven. "I think that that's his nickname, just like Cyborg's and Beast Boy's," Raven replied. "Oh," Starfire said at the same time the hat shouted "Slytherin!" and there was another applause that erupted from the Slytherin table.
"Lee, Carina!" Professor McGonagall called. "SLYTHERIN!" "Logan, Gar!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Malfoy, Timothy!"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Mentrion, Raven!" McGonagall called and Raven strolled over to the hat, placed it on her head, and sat on the stool. "Hmmmmmm," she heard the hat say. "Plenty of courage and not a bad mind, not bad at all. Which house should I place you in?" the hat asked itself. "Not Gryffindor, not Gryffindor," she whispered repeatedly.
"Not Gryffindor eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. Gryffindor can help you on the way to greatness. No? Better be.SLYTHERIN!" the hat shouted and there was another applause from the Slytherin. "Stone, Victor!" McGonagall called as Raven took her seat beside Beast Boy and Carina. Beast Boy gazed at Raven and she blushed.
"SLYTHERIN!" the hat yelled and Cyborg got up and sat next to Carina, who blushed. "Tamaran, Koriandor!" McGonagall shouted and Starfire strolled over to the Sorting Hat.
"SLYTHERIN!" the hat shouted and Starfire strolled over to the table and sat next to Robin, who kept gazing up at her. Starfire blushed. Professor McGonagall sat back down as Winnebagg stood up again. "Now that the sorting has ended, let the feast begin!" he said as he clapped his hands and the empty plates became filled with food and goblets became filled with drinks.
"All firs' years over here," a loud, gruffly voice called as the two stepped out of the train. They followed the voice to the edge of a lake.
