A/N: I really hate my internet being down. Means I can't do half the stuff I want to. The song is pretty crappy, but I'm no good at writing them, and there's none that I could use.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. I only own a few places, Freya, and a couple of other people.
Chapter 4
"I still can't believe you take Divination a year early," said Blaise, the shock of finding out, even though they had a couple of weeks ago, still hadn't worn off., as he, Ben and Draco were sitting at the Slytherin table waiting for the rest of the student body to arrive.
"Neither can I, but if you keep on about it I'll put you in a world of pain," said Ben, getting annoyed with his friend.
Blaise gulped and shut up as the doors to the Great Hall opened and all the students, sans first years, filed in.
Soon enough, Professor McGonagall led a line of about thirty eleven year-olds in and up to the front of the hall. All of these students were looking decidedly pale and green.
Everyone stared at the sorting hat, which McGonagall had put on the three legged stool not long before, burst into song.
'In the times of old,
From when legends were formed,
Four of the strongest,
Formed together to create a school
For gifted youngsters,
Far from prying eyes.
In the four,
Was Godric Gryffindor,
Brave as can be,
Rowena Ravenclaw too,
Smarter than the rest,
Also Salazaar Slytherin,
Determined to be the best,
And Helga Hufflepuff,
Always the loyal one.
Between them they made the school great,
Between them they decided who to accept,
Between them they decided where students went,
And now that job's up to me.
So have no fear,
They chose me to chose,
I'm rarely wrong on where you go,
It's a one in a million chance,
So you're safe.
The hall broke into applause as the hat bowed and then became still once again.
"When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted," she said.
"Duh!" whispered Ben to Blaise and Draco, who sniggered.
"Burton, Gemini"
A girl with blond hair stumbled forwards and put the hat on her head.
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Corner, Michael"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
This carried on for a while, and Ben tuned out most of the sorting, making the occasional sarcastic comment, as most Slytherins would, about the names of some of the new first years.
Finally, there were only two girls left, and these two made Ben pay closer attention. They were identical, though one of them had longer hair than the other, and this one was the one that made him look up.
"Weasley, Freya"
The girl walked up to the stool and place the hat on her head. After a couple of seconds consideration, the hat yelled out it's answer.
"SLYTHERIN!"
As the hat was pulled off the girl, Freya, everyone could see the expression of shock on her face. Pretty soon whispering broke out as she walked to her new house table.
"A Weasley?"
"In Slytherin?"
"No one's ever heard of such a thing!"
This kept up until the other girl was called up by McGonagall.
"Weasley, Virginia"
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat called out, and the Weasley walked off to Gryffindor, probably still in shock from her sister.
A/N: Don't hurt me for giving Ginny a twin! I just love Ginny, and whilst she's way to Gryffindor to be in Slytherin, I wanted at least one Weasley in there! And I'll try not to make her into a Mary-Sue! That'll be hard, as almost all important OCs are, but I'll try!
Now, off of that topic and onto another. My internet's back up! And better! Woohoo!
Ping*pong5: I know! A former Dark Lord teaching defence against what he used to practised regularly. Hilarious! And you can blame my computer for these two lovely updates!
HAZZAGRIFF: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I'll update more often! I promise! JUST DON'T MAKE ME LIVE A BAZILLION YEARS!
Solaris Isa: Thank you.
*grins* I am in such a good mood at the minute! Woohoo!
