Disclaimer Yay! I finally own some things! Such as Arianna, Julisa, Emily and Violet! I do not however own any of the other characters :( !
Author's Note I'm sorry it's been taking me forever to update but I have exams happening and such. I have been writing this story out (while I was supposed to be studying for social studies but Bernie only put nine questions on the last exam so why would he do more?) though so it may take me awhile to have the whole thing posted. Don't worry I'll be back to my update sooner self by the end of the week!
All of us First Years stood before the raised platform where the Staff Table was. Also on the platform was a three legged stool. Sitting on the stool was an old patched hat. The Hogwarts Sorting Hat. The hat that would decide my fate. Acceptance into Slytherin and my family or I am destined to become a traitor like Sirius? I watched the students around me. The ones who were overly impressed by the size of the hall were from poor or middle class families, the fidgety ones were more than likely thought to be squibs by their families or Hufflepuffs, and the ones who were like me nervous inside but calm and confident outside were from rich Pureblood families.
Professor McGonagall stood on the platform. "You will now be sorted into your houses. Your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points, any rule breaking and you'll lose points. The house with the most points at the end of the year will be awarded with the House Cup. The houses are Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Slytherin. The Sorting will now begin." She stepped aside and everybody stared expectantly at the hat.
"I may not be pretty
But don't judge on what you see.
I'm the best hat of all
The Sorting Hat I'm destined to be.
I get inside your heads
Study your brains case.
I use the facts and laws,
To decide your place.
Be you Hufflepuff
Loyal and true
Perhaps this house
Is the place for you.
Perhaps Ravenclaw
Where smarts rule
The most intelligent are here
all you have to do is well in school.
Maybe Gryffindor
Clever and brave
Excitement and adventure
That's what they crave.
Or Slytherin
With the sly and cunning
They'll do anything to get their means
Which always keeps their enimes running."
Once the Hat had finished it's song Professor McGonagall took out a scroll and the Sorting commenced. "Julisa Granger."
Everyone watched the dirty blonde haired girl sit on the stool with clear confidence. As Professor McGonagal drooped the hat on her head, the rim just above her blue green flecked eyes, she threw a smirk at her older sister, Hermione. Then the Hat began to speak. "Granger, eh? The brains are good and the bravery's there. Gryf- wait, what's this? here's something more. I see now. This Granger's meant for Slytherin." Julisa stepped off the platform. On her way to her new house she gave a spiteful wave to her scowling sister.
"Nina Baudelaire." I recognized the brown haired girl from the boat ride over. She stepped onto the platform. No sooner had the Hat been placed on her head the Great Hall was filled with the sound "Gryffindor!" A few more people were sorted, including Violet, into Slytherin when the last name was called. "Arianna Malfoy."
I took calm and confident strides up to the stool. I sat done as if I had my fate decided everyday.Of course I was nervous inside but I'm a Malfoy and we are always cool no matter what. The Sorting Hat was placed on my head. I looked out under the rim at all the Hogwarts students, my eyes came to rest on my brother who gave me a supportive smile. I could see in his eyes that he was as worried as I was. After a few moments the Hat had finally made it's decision. "Slytherin!" I stepped down and joined my fellow Slytherins at our table. Professor Dumbledore stood up to give the begining of year annoucements.
"As you may know after their search of the train, the Dementors of Azkaban are here on Ministry of magic business. They're stationed at every entrance. Do not attempt to leave the school witout permission, they do not understand pleading and excuses. The Prefects and the new Head Boy and Girl are to make sure no student runs a foul of them. On a lighter note, there are two new teachers this year. Professor Lupin, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor and Rubeus Hagrid will be teaching Care of Magical Creatures. Now that that is out of the way, let the feast begin!" The tables filled with food and the Great Hall filled with chatter as another year at Hogwarts began.
So there's chapter 3. We have the Sorting! I know my Sorting song sucks badly...you should have heard the orginal one! Ok review and tell me what you think...please don't flame my song!
