Chapter 2: The sorting Cermony


Dear Journal,

OH MY GOD! I have been sorted!

The jet arrived at Hogwarts in the evening, and Professor MacGonigall was here to welcome me. She seemed very pleased to see me indeed. I was somewhat anxious, though, because I didn't really know what the Sorting ceremony would be!

She led me through the corridors of the castle (OH GOD that place is REALLY AMAZING! you have no idea!) and we arrived to the dining room. All the students were having dinner, but when we entered MacGonigel made them stop and they were all silent as we crossed the room. I felt the eyes of hundreds of students upon me, and I could tell they were impressed. Of course, first I was feeling a bit strange because they were all dressed in black robes, while I was wearing my velvet purple dress. But soon I realized that everyone (boys and girls!) was flabbergasted because of my perfect body and my angelical curly blond hair.

Finally, MacGonigall made everyone stand and bow to greet me, and explained that I was a transfer student and that I would be sorted today. She didn't explain the nature of my powers, for which I am grateful, because I prefer to be anynomous to start with.

She made me sit on a beautiful throne made of ebony, and covered with navy-blue silk. Everybody's eyes were still fixed on me, and I was a bit scared. I could feel my heart thumping, and I knew that I was blusing furiously (Fortunately, I don't think anyone would see that through my make-up.). The professor placed the hat on my head and I could hear its hoarse voice whispering in my head :
"Mmm... Interesting... The heir of the McClaymore... I remember when your anecstor, Eowyn Andryalba Sarumainy Gloïnahya McClaymore, was sorted. She was the last MacClaymore that came to Hogwarts (I was surprised! I didn't know my ancestor had been there too!!).
Let me see... You are brave, there is no doubt, and powerful too. You have beauty and perfection, and you have faith. But there is also great intelligence, beyond normal I should say...
Mmmm... I hesitate...
Really, where should I put you..."

And it lasted at least half an hour!!! After a while, the Professors were really frowning. Apparently it had never happened that the sorting hat was so hesitant!!
Finally, Dumbledore stood up and took the hat from my head, placing it on his own. I didn't hear what they were saying, but it looked like a council or something!

After five minutes, Dumbledore placed the hat again on my head, and the hat shouted :

"GRYFFINDOR AND RAVENCLAW!!!"

All the students stared, not knowing what to do or say. Some of the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws had started to applaud, but as no one else was, they stopped and looked down.

I was in two houses!!! What did that mean? I was really wondering!

Fortunately Dumbledore broke the uncomfortable silence that had invaded the dining room and said:

"As you can see, Miss Mac Claymore here was sorted into two houses. It is a very rare event. It actually happened only twice before in Hogwarts." From the throne, I could see a girl with bushy hair who was nodding to him from the Gryffindor and whispering something to her neighbours, a red-haired tall guy and a skinny cross-eyed one who wore horrible glasses. I read on her lips something like "Hogwarts, a History".

Dumbledore continued: "To be sorted into two houses, you must show extraordinary qualities. That's the case of Miss Claymore here. She will belong to both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, knowing both passwords. She will be able to choose every day which house she wants to go to. Now, please welcome Miss Claymore to Hogwarts, and let the feast continue!"

Everybody applauded, even the Slytherins, and they continued their meal. Before I joined the Gryffindor table (the one I had chosen for tonight!), Dumbledore came to me and shook my hand saying: "Welcome here, dear Adrahaina!"

TBC...
PLEASE R&R!!!!!
