A few people wrote that they'd like to know what type of wands Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura have. The reason why I didn't put it in the story was because it's irrelevant and not important in the story. You're welcome to make up your own wands for them if you want. Onto chapter 3....

Chapter 3: The Sorting

"Murphy, Jeremy." called out the voice that belonged to Professor Minerva McGonagall. After Hagrid led the first years and the transfers into the castle, McGonagall explained to them about the sorting and the houses. The sorting was now taking place and almost over.

"Hufflepuff!"

All that was left now were the shinobi. The Great Hall silenced as the headmaster stood up. "You have all, in your letters, read that this year will consist of many new changes. One of them being the coming of three third-year students from the island of Japan. We are honored to accept them as students here at Hogwarts and hope that you will treat them with great hospitality.

Professor McGonagall started calling out the names.

"Haruno, Sakura"

The pink-haired shinobi sat on the stool as the hat was being placed ontop.

"I sense you are a person of great intellect," began a voice, "Yes, you would do good in Ravenclaw. But, what's this? I sense something even greater than intellect in you. A great potential.....Then, let it be GRYFFINDOR!."

Sakura let out a sigh of relief as she walked over to the Gryffindor table.

"Uchiha, Sasuke."

Sasuke coolly walked up to the sorting hat. Girls could be seen blushing as he did.

"My, my, how different you are....You have the mind fit for Ravenclaw and courage fit for Gryffindor. And yet-"

'Can you hurry this up?'

"Then, let it be SLYTHERIN!"

"Uzamaki, Naruto."

Naruto clumsily walked up to McGonagall and sat on the stool.

"Ah, I sense a great, dark power in you. You have a thirst to prove yourself....."

Naruto fell off the stool. "Oi, what's going on?! Hats aren't suppose to talk!"

Laughter could be heard throughout the Great Hall. Sakura and Sasuke mentally sighed.

"Please Mr. Uzamaki, may we continue with your sorting?" asked an impatient McGonagall. Naruto cautiously sat back on the stool and the hat was placed on his head.

--------------

Naruto happily walked to his house table. 'I'm in the same house as Sakura-chan.' he mentally sang.

Sakura on the other hand looked as if though she was going to throw up. 'I'm in the same house as............Naruto!?'

Dumbledore once again stood up from his seat and the Great Hall once again silenced. "Now that the sortings are over, I would like to welcome four other people to Hogwarts. I am happy to say that Professor Remus Lupin is back to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts."

The Great Hall exploded in applause and cheers. Slytherin, on the other hand, had a look of disgust on their faces.

"I would also like to welcome the professors of the new subject, 'Wandless Fighting. Professor Gilderoy Lockhart and Professor Kakashi Hatake." Dumbledore motioned towards the two professors. Sakura and Naruto laughed at the way Kakashi's name sounded in English form.

"Finally-" Dumbledore continued but was cut off by a 'hem-hem'. The headmaster turned his head to the source of the interruption, which belonged to the third person. She stood up as Dumbledore silently sat down. Naruto stared at the lady. 'Hehe, she look's like Gamabunta..'

The older students were exchanging glances with each other, clearly she didn't know how things were done here.

"Thank you headmaster, for the introductions, but I felt as if the students and the staff should get a feel of the importance of the reason why I'm here....." The lady continued with her speech introduced herself as Dolores Umbridge or Professor Umbridge, which the students would call her by. She explained she was here as Hogwarts's High Inquisitor and would be inspecting Hogwarts and its staff and etc.

By the time she was done, most of the students were hungry, tired, and bored, including the staff. Umbridge sat down with an ugly smile on her face and Dumbledore stood up again....

"Thank you Professor Umbridge. Now that introductions are done, I'm pleased to say, 'let the feast begin!'"

Sorry this chapter is kind of short, seeing as how it's written only about the sorting...Next one will be a bit longer...

Next to come: The One Who Is Always Late. He's late again! Wait, who's that?
