THE GRYFFINDORS
After the student had got up to the castle and the new first years had been sorted into their houses, the rest of the school was ready for Dumbledores' 5-minute speech and then their feast. Right on time Dumbledore stood up and cleared his throat.
'Welcome to another year at Hogwarts,' the hall around the old man went quiet. 'Firstly I'd like to remind the first years and a few of the older students too that the forbidden forest is out of bounds- hence the name.' He looked at the Weasley twins when he said that, who did pretend shocked faced. 'Secondly I'd like to thank Madam Hooch for agreeing to start some night flying lesions which will start next week, so if you want to learn or improve on your flying just see Madam Hooch after your flying lessons during the week. 'And finally I'd like to introduce our new Defence against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Legate, who has also agreed to start a duelling club once term has started properly!' the hall erupted into talking, and several times excited voices was heard over the rest saying "night flying lessons" and "duelling club".
'And finally, before we enjoy our brilliant feast, I wish to introduce you to two more students, who will be starting fifth year. But before you meet them there are a few things I must tell you.
'Kerlic and Magenta Ansonia are the only two members of their family who got away from Voldemort and his followers; they come from Italy but do speak English and they are the same twin's you may have heard about on the wizard news.
'I trust that you will be nice to them and don't talk to them about their past as it's probably still in their memories and they don't need reminding. They've been through trauma these past few weeks so please take care of them and make them feel welcome!' the hall all looked around to see the reactions of all the other students in the hall, all were as shocked as each other.
'I thought they were dead?!' Crabbe whispered to Malfoy, who had a look of disgust on his face. 'I thought they were,' he replied through gritted teeth. The grand doors to the hall opened and there stood two twin girls of the age of 15. One had long brown hair highlighted with blonde, she also had big chocolate coloured eyes that made you want to melt – this was Magenta.
Standing next to her was her twin Kerlic who looked completely different from Magenta; she had brown shoulder length hair with the electric blue streaks in, and blue piercing eyes. They both carried what looked like a purse attached to string on their shoulders – these unknown to the hall looking at them in curiosity held their wands, which they kept on them at all times.
'Would everyone please give a warm welcome to Kerlic and Magenta Ansonia,' Dumbledore said clapping, followed by the other professors and then the students.
As the twins started walking down through the hall, they heard loud whispers of the students around them. 'They're fine,' Dean Thomas announced, all the Gryffindor boys nodded in agreement. 'They won't be in Slytherin house will they Dracie?' Pansy Parkinson asked giving the twins the look of death. One of the twins stopped and looked over at the Slytherin table.
'Magenta, why on earth did you stop? ... Is that?' Kerlic said suspiciously, turning to her sister and mouthing something the rest of the hall couldn't see. Her sister nodded. They looked up to the top of the hall and straight at Dumbledore, their faces had turned from innocent angels to pure anger.
'Dumbledore, you forgot to mention who we'd be schooling with? I think it was a bit of a big importance to mention the fact that a certain someone goes to this school don't you?' Kerlic said not mentioning Draco's name but making it clear it was him she was talking about, the hall turned and looked at Malfoy, the twins and then Dumbledore expecting some answers. Dumbledore looked at them in a reassuring look and the twins carried on walking up the hall with one last look at Malfoy.
When they'd reached the top of the hall, McGonagall stood up and walked around in front of the main table and stood behind the sorting hat, which twitched slightly. 'As all new students to this school, the Ansonia's will be sorted by our very faithful Sorting Hat, and will continue the rest of their school career in the chosen house.' she said looking at the twins who just stared at the hat, wondering how it would sort them. As if their thinking had triggered the hat, it sprang to life and started singing, a song neither the twins nor the rest of the room had heard before. Magenta and Kerlic's eyes nearly popped out in surprise.
"I normally sing, once a year,
To ickle firsties, from far and near,
But this is the second time, in one day,
For the Ansonia twins, so please make way,
So say hello to Magenta and Kerlic,
What house? Let me pick.
Where shall I put them? Let me see,
In which house, they will be,
Will they be in Gryffindor?
Slytherin? Hufflepuff? Or Ravenclaw?
There is nothing I can't see,
There is nothing you can hide from me.
Gryffindor's the brave kind,
Ravenclaw's, have a ready mind,
Slytherin, are cunning and buff,
And unafraid to toil, is Hufflepuff.
So put me on, over your eyes,
And I'll look, to see what lies,
For your future, at Hogwarts,
To see which way, you'll get taught.
There is no other hat like me,
Look near and far, and you will see,
'Cos I'm the only self-thinking kind,
The only one, who can read you're mind.
So welcome two 15 year olds,
Who are bubbly, loyal, and bold?
They have travelled from Italia,
Please welcome Kerlic and Magenta.
'Magenta, lets start with you shall we?' McGonagall asked as Magenta stood on the stage, and sat down on the stool waiting for what was coming next. McGonagall placed the hat over her eyes and it was dark. One the other side of the room Crabbe turned to Malfoy 'Best watch out for the other Draco, she doesn't seem to like you much!' Malfoy stared at him and shrugged his shoulders; he'd deal with that half blood, and her sister too. "Ooh you are difficult to place, I see bits of every house in you, but where's the most likeness? Ah there..." the hat whispered into Magenta's ears, 'GRYFFINDOR!' it shouted and the hall clapped and cheered. Magenta got up and walked over to the table and sat down wishing her sister got in the same house too. When Kerlic walked up and sat on the stool Goyle turned to Malfoy, 'Hey Draco, wouldn't it be funny if we got the other one in our house?' he asked stupidly. 'Don't be stupid you idiot, she's not exactly Slytherin material! And I'd have a word with Professor Snape is she ended up in our house, it's about reputation and we can't have a half blood in our house, that would be the end of Slytherin house as we know it!' both Goyle and Crabbe looked at him as if to ask him how he knew what blood they had, but passed on it and looked to the top of the hall to see where Kerlic's fate lay.
Kerlic sat there nervously and looked at the sea of heads looking up at her, she noticed her sister smiling up at her like the Cheshire cat and rolled her eyes and continued to look up the table until she saw a boy around her age with jet black hair and green eyes and if she was not mistaken there was defiantly a lighten bolt on the right side of his forehead. She didn't have much chance to look properly as McGonagall placed the hat over her head. The hat its self didn't say much just hummed for a second and shouted 'GRYFFINDOR,' and the hat was removed from her head, and she joined her sister on what was possibly the loudest table in the hall – the Gryffindors.
