Shortly after they departed from the train, the four girls had said their good byes and set off in pairs. Raven and Fear had gone off to get their luggage, and hurried off, saying that they'd catch up with Lily and Silvia sometime again.
Lily and Silvia stumbled into the great hall, their arms linked so they wouldn't get separated. They were laughing, looking like two drunken fools, slipping and sliding on the waxed floor.
"Did you see the way Raven was flirting with that Sirius guy? 'What are you planning to do with those dung bombs; you can't let 'em go to waste!'" Silvia said, and laughed.
"I know! She coulda used a better pick-up line than that!" Lily giggled. "But, you have to admit, that was pretty creative!" Silvia nodded and stopped laughing. They came to a line of students. They saw that the line was really long and sighed in impatience.
"What is going on?" Lily asked, tapping her foot. Silvia just shrugged.
"Beats me." They stood there and waiting, occasionally making small talk.
"Do you think our animals will be O.K.?"
"Sure hope so."
"It's kinda cold here, eh?"
"Yeah, kinda."
They stood in silence, waiting so very impatiently.
*~*~
"Raven, wait for me!" Fear said as she followed behind Raven. She was looking for someone.
'Where'd he go?' Raven thought to herself. 'Hmm.'
"Raven!" She was snapped, or rather, jerked from her little trance when Fear grabbed her arm. "You were about to walk into a wall!" she said and pulled her over to a group up people.
"Huh, looks like we'll have to wait for a bit," she said grumpily. 'Gosh, you'd think they'd be more organized than this!' she screamed her in her mind as she gritted her teeth. Raven look loose and relaxed, and saw that her friend was gritting her teeth.
"What's up with you?" she asked, and crossed her arms across her chest. "This waiting is killing you, right?" Fear nodded her head, her patience coming to wits end.
"Hey! Look!" Raven said and pointed off into the crowd. Two girls politely pushed their way through the crowd, giggling furiously. "Isn't that Lily and Silvia?" she asked, noticing Silvia's white hair.
"Yeah!" Fear said and darted off after them, just grateful to be finally doing something.
"Hey! HEY!" Raven said, and rushed after her, "wait for me! HEY! WAIT FOR ME!"
*~*~
Lily stood there, kicking at something invisible at the ground when she looked up. She noticed that the people were starting to file into an open door! But...when did the door open?!
She started to walk forward when someone grabbed her shoulder. She jumped and looked around.
"Hey, hey!" she said, as she saw Raven and Fear standing behind her. "Hey Siv," she said, but her friend looked over her shoulder and was swept away in a stream of people.
"Hurry, we better follow!" Raven said, and pushed Lily into a line of people.
*~*~
They entered the Great Hall and looked around in utter awe; the ceiling was an exact replica of what the sky was outside; dark and filled with stars. Candlesticks hung from the ceiling also, there was so many of them that it gave the entire hall a soft, welcoming look to it. There was a three- legged stool sitting up by a long table with a shabby looking hat on it. A strict looking woman with black hair stood next to it, a thick roll in her hands.
"When I call your name, please come up here and sit on the stool. I will place his hat on your head, which will determine which house you will belong to." She said, and Lily racked her brain, 'what had she just said?'
"What?" she could hear Raven say behind her in a hushed voice. Fear took a little breath and hurriedly whispered back a reply.
"The school is divided into houses: Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. The hat decides which one you are put into." She said, still leaving Raven and Lily with unanswered questions. Lily turned around and was about to ask Fear when the woman called out the first name.
"Jordan Abbot!" Lily jumped and turned back around. A young boy with blonde hair walked up to the chair and sat down on it, squirming nervously. The woman placed the hat on his head, and, to Lily and Raven's surprise, the hat suddenly had eyes and a mouth!
"Hmmmm, yes, I see, good grades, but nevertheless....HUFFLEPUFF!" the hat shouted, and the boy jumped off and ran to the Gryffindor table.
"Sirius Black!" The boy the girls had met earlier walked up to the stool, sat on it, and flashed a grin. The hat danced on his head, and muttered to itself.
"Gryffindor!" it roared and Sirius ran to the table, giving the thumbs up sign to his friends.
"Oo, Raven!" Fear and Lily squealed, and her face turned red.
"What?!" she said, and the girls just giggled.
"We saw the way you were goggling him!" Fear said, and Lily nudged her in the side.
"Can it!" she said and pretended to pay attention to the sorting.
More and more kids went up to the stool, many of them being sent off to Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Lily was chatting happily was Raven and Fear when the call of Raven's name startled her.
Raven smiles and strode up to the stool. She sat on it and looked confident as the hat hums on her head.
"Quite a little prankster...hhmmm, yes, I know where you belong, Gryffindor!" it shouted and Raven ran off to the Gryffindor
"Evans, Lily!" Lily jumped and her legs automatically walked up to the stool. She took a breath and sat down. The strict looking witch put the hat on her head. She could feel him hum as he pondered about where to put her.
"Hm, you are very smart, yes, but I think Gryffindor!" it bellowed and Lily stood up. She smiled and walked over to the Gryffindor table where she sat and waited to see her friends get sorted.
A Few minutes passed as they all waited, Raven was watching and giving hand signals to Fear, trying to communicate with her, and Lily was searching for Silvia, hoping to catch a glimpse of her, at the very least.
"Hathaway, Fear!" Fear looked very relaxed as she walked up to the stool. The hat was placed on her head, and it didn't take long to decide.
"Hmmm, Gryffindor," it announced and she ran off, joining a very happy Raven.
"Lupin Remus!" Rang through the air and the girls looked at the stool, knowing they had met him too. The hat was placed on his head.
"I can see you are smart, Hmmm, but yet oh so brave, hmmm, tough...Gryffindor!" it hat screeched. Remus, smiling, got off the chair and joined Sirius at the Gryffindor table.
More and more kids were called, the hat was placed on their heads, and sent off to their houses. Lily was starting to get terribly irritated, when another name was said, making her jerk to her head to the front of the room.
"Potter, James." He smiled and walked to the stool, his smile cocky. He strode up to the stool and sat down, flashing a grin. The hat was placed on his head and it hummed.
"Gryffindor, I guess!" it shouted and James jumped off the stool and walked over to the table.
"Way ta go, James!" Sirius shouted, and clapped his hands. James flashed another grin and sat down by him. He looked around the table, hoping to see if Lily had been sorted into Gryffindor. His heart jumped into his throat. Oh joyous day! He saw that she was staring at the much short line of students, and turned to Sirius and began a conversation.
"Pettigrew, Peter!" A small little mouse-like boy with red hair stumbled up to the stool, and the hat was placed on his head.
"Gryffindor!" the hat announce and he walked off and sat down.
"Snape Severus!" the witch called out and a greasy, hooked nosed boy walked up to the stool, a disgusted look on his face as he walked passed many of the students. He sat on the stool, and before the hat was even on its head, it called "Slytherin!"
James and Sirius laughed.
"I think I know why the hat made such a quick decision," Sirius chuckled.
"Yeah, there is so much grease on his hair, it might have slipped right off his head!" James said, and started laughing. Remus just shook his head and paid his full attention to the next students being sorted.
"Walters, Silvia!" Lily sat up straighter and looked at her friend who was walking cautiously up to the stool. The hat was placed on her head.
"Um, let's see..."
"Gryffindor, pleas please! Gryffindor," Lily prayed under her breath, "please!"
"Hufflepuff!" the hat screamed, and Silvia got off the chair and walked to the Hufflepuff table. Lily's shoulders sank in disappointment, but smiled when she saw Silvia waving fanatically at them and smiling. Fear, Raven and Lily waved back, and they laughed at each other.
Dumbledore stood up, and the entire hall fell silent.
"Welcome everyone..."
