Chapter 2: Sorting Sadness

After a quick train ride Natalie and Tiley changed into their new black robes. They proceeded to the carriages to head up to the school with the others. Once the Sorting Hat had finished with the first years, Professor McGonagall called for the two new transfer students to go up and be sorted. Natalie and Tiley, who had been sitting at the Ravenclaw table with Millie Jones, shyly got up and made their way towards the front hall. They stood before Professor McGonagall, whispering in French.

"Miss Moore, if you please." McGonagall said lifting up the sorting hat. Tiley went and sat on the stool facing the entire school. She jumped when the old hat began to speak.

"Great mind, yes....lots of intelligence. Great things...hmm...better be SLYTHERIN!"

The Slytherin table stood up and cheered proudly. Tiley jumped off the stool and smiled at Natalie. She headed over to the Slytherin table, where Draco had pushed Pansy out of the way so Tiley could sit down beside him.

"Now Miss Ramsay, your turn."

Natalie sat on the stool.

"Yes lots of courage...great mind, oh yes. Hmm...right. GRYFFINDOR!

Natalie sat there speechless; her eyes as wide as they could go. She and Tiley weren't in the same house! What were they going to do? Natalie got up from the stool and joined the cheering Gryffindor table. Maybe it was for the best...or was it? On the plus side, they each had someone they new...

Tiley Moore had the ever so charming and evil Draco Malfoy

And

Natalie Ramsay had the brave and handsome hero Harry Potter, and the two other musketeers, Ron and Hermione
