Chapter 3: Sortings and Elf Ears
The Hogwarts Express pulled into the station, screeching to a halt, and steam bellowed out of it. Students pilled out of the train by the dozens, all chatting amongst themselves. A half-giant named Hagrid was calling first years over and ushering them into boats. Horse-less carriages were waiting for the higher years. And all was good. (A/N: wow, what a scene)
"Wow, this is the famous Hogwarts!" Alanna smiled, looking at the giant castle in the distance.
"Yup yup, my dad's description didn't do it justice," Lorina frowned, thinking of what her dad had said.
"Let's get to the carriages," Alanna said and they ran off to look for an empty one.
*****
"Ah, Hogwarts," Harry said, under his breath, getting off of the train.
"What was that?" Ron asked, getting off after Harry, Hermione after him.
"Nothing," Harry said, smiling.
"Right then," Ron said, eying Harry.
"Shall we get a carriage?" Hermione smiled.
"Yea," Harry said and they set off to the carriages.
*****
All the firsties were sorted and the Great Hall was silent, quite, and still except, Neville who was fidgeting uncontrollably.
Dumbledore stood.
"I have one more announcement," Dumbledore said, smiling at all his students, even the Slytherins. "We have two new students that have yet to be sorted," Everyone looked around at each other with puzzled expressions. "They're from America, The Salem School of Magic. In there sixth year," Dumbledore continued "I'd like for you all to welcome Miss Lorina Black and Alanna Hayes!" he finished with a twinkle in his eyes, looking pointedly at the oak doors.
The doors swung open and everyone looked at them waiting for the two girls to walk out.
About a minute later a hand pushed one of them in.(A/N: I will now commence into describing. again) She was thin, tall, had dark brown hair with lighter brown highlights that was shoulder length, and grey eyes. She looked back at the open doors and started walking a bit. After her came a skinny girl that wasn't as tall as the last, with medium brown hair highlights all over (in some places it looked white) that was up to her chin on one side and to her shoulder on the other, blue eyes, and... elf ears? She had pointy elf ears sticking out of her hair. Everyone in the Great Hall was gawking at her.
She caught up with her friend and they walked up to the hat together.
"Miss Black you first," said McGonagall, motioning for her to sit on the stool. The first girl that had come out sat on the stool and plopped the hat on her head. (A/N: here is the convo.)
Hat: Ah, a Black. Haven't seen one of you in a long time but, your to old to be a first year.
Lorina: I'm a sixth year, can you just get this over with.
Hat: Maybe I should put you in Ravenclaw, you are smart. How would your dad like that?
Lorina: How do you know about my dad!?
Hat: I can read your mind.
Lorina: Damn, telepathy baring hat!
Hat: Maybe not Ravenclaw.... How about Hufflepuff?
Lorina: No, not Hufflepuff that's the house for urm... never mind.
Hat: fine, Slytherin?
Lorina: Are you just playing with me?
Hat: Okay then, I guess you are pretty brave.
"Gryffindor!"
The Gryffindor table exploded into loud clapping, as Lorina skipped over and sat with her fellow sixth years. "You next Miss Hayes," McGonagall said and Alanna sat on the stool and pulled the hat on.
Hat: I've never had a Hayes before.
Alanna: My family are all American none have been to Hogwarts. Well, maybe I'm not really sure.
Hat: Right then down to business. Where should I put you?
Alanna: I hear Gryffindor is nice.
Hat: Your not brave enough for that.
Alanna: Hey!
Hat: Well you are but, not really. You plan and think things over first, your pretty clever actually.
Alanna: You think. Well your still a Fuckin' Demon Hat....
Hat: I resent that.
Alanna: Were getting off topic here.
Hat: I know where to put you...
"Slytherin!"
The Slytherin table started clapping as Alanna walked over and sat down. Dumbledore stood and the clapping stopped.
"Let the feast begin!" Dumbledore said, food magically appeared on all the tables. Dumbledore sat and chatting started.
* Slytherin Table *
"Hi I'm Blaise Zabini," said a black haired girl, sitting next to Alanna. (A/N: I made Blaise-the-genderless-wonder a girl!)
"Hi," Alanna said, forking some distorted junk.
"So, your a pureblood then?" Blaise asked. (A/N:wow, direct aren't they)
"Duh!" Alanna snorted, trying to keep from laughing. "From a loong line of Hayes'. We have a lovely Manor," she sighed thinking of her home.
"Your American, why come to Hogwarts?" Blaise asked.
"Erm... Well, my parents thought it would be good for me. They still live in America though," she frowned at the thought of her parents.
"So who do you know?" Blaise asked, getting a bit more snotty. (A/N: Where did i think of that?)
"What?!" Alanna eyed Blaise.
"You heard,"
"Well, what a strange question," Alanna said, then her eyes lite up and she got an evil grin. "I know some Ministry Wizards, criminals, murderers, eleged murderers, Death Eaters, Tom Riddle, Lorina, friends of the family, some vampires," she said, counting them off on her fingers. " and some demons from hell. The demons were the nicest." she finished with a smirk.
"Demons," Draco snorted, he had been listening in on the whole time. "When have you meet demons?"
"When I took a friendly visit to Hell and back," Alanna shrugged "They were real nice!"
"Demons nice?" Draco smirked "Where are you from?"
"America didn't you hear. Dumbledore announced it to everyone," Alanna grinned. Blaise had her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing.
Draco frowned "Why do you have such long, pointy ears?" he asked.
"These?" Alanna asked tugging at her elf ears. "There elf ears. Don't you know what a elf is?" she asked. Maybe being a Slytherin won't be that bad.
* Gryffindor Table *
"Hi," Lorina smiled at the three people sitting across from her. One she recognized.
"Hello," A girl with brown bushy hair smiled. "I'm Hermione Granger. So, your from America is it nice there? Where in America are you from? What the weather like there? Are you going to miss your friends? And teachers?" she was going a mile-a-minute. Lorina's was spinning from all the questions.
"Slow down Hermione! Don't want to give the new girl a heart attack," A redheaded boy said. "I'm Ron Weasley by the way,"
"Nice to both of you," Lorina said, after her head recovered.
"So, will you miss it?" Hermione asked again a little slower.
"No, not really. My dad lives here and my teachers weren't that great. The only friend I'd miss is Alanna but, she's here." Lorina said, motioning towards the Slytherin table.
"Your friends with a Slytherin!" Ron practically yelled.
"Yea, is that bad?" Lorina looked puzzled.
"Only that they are the worst gits in the world!" Ron looked ready to pull his hair out.
Lorina remembered what her dad had said about Slytherin but, he had met Alanna and liked her. "But Alanna isn't like that!"
"All Slytherins are like that!" Ron said calming down a bit. Which isn't much.
"But Lanna isn't. We've been friends for years," Lorina said, sticking up for her friend.
"But all Slytherins...." Ron got cut off by Hermione.
"Ron!" Hermione said, giving him a stern look. Making her look creepily like McGonagall. Ron mumbled something and glared at his food.
"Sorry about him," Hermione apologized.
"That's fine. So, Harry have a good trip here?" Lorina asked the ever quite Harry.
Harry looked up at her from his food. "Yea, but why did your friend, Alanna start talking about Seamus and Dean?"
"Er... We were in a compartment with them and left are trunks in there. When we had to make a quick exit," Lorina explained.
"Speaking of your friend why did she have pointy ears?" Hermione asked.
"Her elf ears?" Lorina giggled "She has an obsession with elves, so she charmed hers to look like that."
"There is a spell for that?" Hermione asked.
"Yup, there's a spell for everything," Lorina clarified.
A light bulb clicked on in Ron's little head. "Your the girls Harry was talking about from the train," he said more to himself then anyone.
"The one and only," Lorina smiled
